in his plan to marry Agnes.
So David explains that he's engaged to somebody else and he sees Agnes as a sister, but he also says that Agnes can do much better than to marry Uriah.
Later, after dinner, Uriah gets Mr. Wickfield drunk and then reveals that he hopes to marry Agnes,
This makes Mr. Wickfield insane with rage and he calls Uriah his torturer.
Uriah sees that he's spoken too soon and he backs off.
Agnes comes to say goodbye to David that night and David tries to get her to promise not to marry Uriah, but she won't do it.
As David is leaving the next morning, Uriah comes and tells him that he's made it up with Mr. Wickfield and that he will bide his time and he hopes to marry Agnes eventually.
Okay, I'm going to read two comments today.
The first one comes from Elizabeth.
She says, I want to throw up just very slightly every time Uriah enters the scene.
I know we've had a lot of villains in this book so far.
The Murdstones, Mr. Creakle, Seerforth,
but I kind of think that Uriah is shaping up to be the main villain.
He's so awful, and he now seems to have a lot of the main characters under his thumb.
Mr. Wickfield, potentially Agnes, now Mr. Macabre.
None of this bodes well at all.
And the second one comes from Tony Souza.
He says, what a slimy, repulsive snake.
How low can he get?
He purposefully got Mr. Wickfield drunk, purposefully brought up marriage for no other purpose than to demonstrate his power over Wickfield.
