RKS Literature: Being on the “Right Side” of the Family (Charles Dickens)

‘Miss Trotwood’ he remarked. ‘is very firm no doubt, and not likely to give way to opposition. I have an admiration for her character, and I may congratulate you, Copperfield, on being on the right side. Differences between relations are much to be deplored-but they are extremely general-and the great thing is, to be on the right side’; meaning, I take it, on the side of the moneyed interest.

Charles Dickens, “David Copperfield”, 1850.
