Uriah Heep, a character from David Copperfield. I suggest you do further research on this individual. His name is now used as a descriptive term for a person who is obsequiously humble but really actually hypercritical: in that he nurses greed, rage and/or a sense of entitlement beneath this facade. This reveals very clever psychological insight on Dickens's part. This has been a response from a Librarian. Slamming the boards!
