Reid is the quintessential “Uriah Heep”, isn’t he?
(not the rock band)
Ried does do a fake “umble” very well.
I sadly hate Charles Dickens. We had to read different books over-and-over in advanced English (a foreign language class) in what you would call junior high.
The teacher made us each read two pages aloud in class for weeks. So painful.
I hated it.
Uriah Heep is a fictional character created by Charles Dickens in his novel David Copperfield. The character is notable for his cloying humility, obsequiousness, and insincerity, making frequent references to his own "'umbleness". His name has become synonymous with being a yes man.
Yikes---- wouldn't want to name my band 'Harry Reid' either.
