Which part of this excerpt from charles dickens's oliver twist suggests a trace of humane feeling in mr. bumble's character? for some time, mr. bumble drew oliver along, without notice or remark; for the beadle carried his head very erect, as a beadle always should: and, it being a windy day, little oliver was completely enshrouded by the skirts of mr. bumble's coat as they blew open, and disclosed to great advantage his flapped waistcoat and drab plush knee-breeches. as they drew near to their destination, however, mr. bumble thought it expedient to look down, and see that the boy was in good order for inspection by his new master: which he accordingly did, with a fit and becoming air of gracious patronage. "oliver! " said mr. bumble. "yes, sir," replied oliver, in a low, tremulous voice.

"well! " exclaimed mr. bumble, stopping short, and darting at his little charge a look of intense malignity. "well! of all the ungratefullest, and worst-disposed boys as ever i see, oliver, you are the—" "no, no, sir," sobbed oliver, clinging to the hand which held the well-known cane; "no, no, sir; i will be good indeed; indeed, indeed i will, sir! i am a very little boy, sir; and it is so—so—" "so what?
