  Mr. Edward Murdstone : Hold your tounge!

  David Copperfield : He bullied, and harried my poor, weak mother into her grave!

  Mr. Edward Murdstone : Yes, she was weak. But it was not I who preyed upon her weakness, it was her own SON, who drained her of the strenght she needed with his wild behaviour and importunate demands!
