As
for
William
Dobbin
,
whom
he
had
tipped
repeatedly
in
his
youth
,
and
who
had
been
the
old
gentleman
's
butt
on
a
thousand
occasions
,
old
Sedley
gave
his
hand
to
him
in
a
very
hesitating
humble
manner
now
,
and
called
him
"
Sir
.
"
A
feeling
of
shame
and
remorse
took
possession
of
William
Dobbin
as
the
broken
old
man
so
received
and
addressed
him
,
as
if
he
himself
had
been
somehow
guilty
of
the
misfortunes
which
had
brought
Sedley
so
low
.
"
I
am
very
glad
to
see
you
,
Captain
Dobbin
,
sir
,
"
says
he
,
after
a
skulking
look
or
two
at
his
visitor
(
whose
lanky
figure
and
military
appearance
caused
some
excitement
likewise
to
twinkle
in
the
blear
eyes
of
the
waiter
in
the
cracked
dancing
pumps
,
and
awakened
the
old
lady
in
black
,
who
dozed
among
the
mouldy
old
coffee-cups
in
the
bar
)
.
"
How
is
the
worthy
alderman
,
and
my
lady
,
your
excellent
mother
,
sir
?
"
He
looked
round
at
the
waiter
as
he
said
,
"
My
lady
,
"
as
much
as
to
say
,
"
Hark
ye
,
John
,
I
have
friends
still
,
and
persons
of
rank
and
reputation
,
too
.
"
"
Are
you
come
to
do
anything
in
my
way
,
sir
?
My
young
friends
Dale
and
Spiggot
do
all
my
business
for
me
now
,
until
my
new
offices
are
ready
;
for
I
'm
only
here
temporarily
,
you
know
,
Captain
.
What
can
we
do
for
you
.
sir
?
Will
you
like
to
take
anything
?
"
Dobbin
,
with
a
great
deal
of
hesitation
and
stuttering
,
protested
that
he
was
not
in
the
least
hungry
or
thirsty
;
that
he
had
no
business
to
transact
;
that
he
only
came
to
ask
if
Mr.
Sedley
was
well
,
and
to
shake
hands
with
an
old
friend
;
and
,
he
added
,
with
a
desperate
perversion
of
truth
,
"
My
mother
is
very
well
--
that
is
,
she
's
been
very
unwell
,
and
is
only
waiting
for
the
first
fine
day
to
go
out
and
call
upon
Mrs.
Sedley
.
How
is
Mrs.
Sedley
,
sir
?
I
hope
she
's
quite
well
.
"
And
here
he
paused
,
reflecting
on
his
own
consummate
hypocrisy
;
for
the
day
was
as
fine
,
and
the
sunshine
as
bright
as
it
ever
is
in
Coffin
Court
,
where
the
Tapioca
Coffee-house
is
situated
:
and
Mr.
Dobbin
remembered
that
he
had
seen
Mrs.
Sedley
himself
only
an
hour
before
,
having
driven
Osborne
down
to
Fulham
in
his
gig
,
and
left
him
there
tete-a-tete
with
Miss
Amelia
.
"
My
wife
will
be
very
happy
to
see
her
ladyship
,
"
Sedley
replied
,
pulling
out
his
papers
.
"
I
've
a
very
kind
letter
here
from
your
father
,
sir
,
and
beg
my
respectful
compliments
to
him
.
Lady
D.
will
find
us
in
rather
a
smaller
house
than
we
were
accustomed
to
receive
our
friends
in
;
but
it
's
snug
,
and
the
change
of
air
does
good
to
my
daughter
,
who
was
suffering
in
town
rather
--
you
remember
little
Emmy
,
sir
?
--
yes
,
suffering
a
good
deal
.
"
The
old
gentleman
's
eyes
were
wandering
as
he
spoke
,
and
he
was
thinking
of
something
else
,
as
he
sate
thrumming
on
his
papers
and
fumbling
at
the
worn
red
tape
.
"
You
're
a
military
man
,
"
he
went
on
;
"
I
ask
you
,
Bill
Dobbin
,
could
any
man
ever
have
speculated
upon
the
return
of
that
Corsican
scoundrel
from
Elba
?
When
the
allied
sovereigns
were
here
last
year
,
and
we
gave
'em
that
dinner
in
the
City
,
sir
,
and
we
saw
the
Temple
of
Concord
,
and
the
fireworks
,
and
the
Chinese
bridge
in
St.
James
's
Park
,
could
any
sensible
man
suppose
that
peace
was
n't
really
concluded
,
after
we
'd
actually
sung
Te
Deum
for
it
,
sir
?
I
ask
you
,
William
,
could
I
suppose
that
the
Emperor
of
Austria
was
a
damned
traitor
--
a
traitor
,
and
nothing
more
?
I
do
n't
mince
words
--
a
double-faced
infernal
traitor
and
schemer
,
who
meant
to
have
his
son-in-law
back
all
along
.
And
I
say
that
the
escape
of
Boney
from
Elba
was
a
damned
imposition
and
plot
,
sir
,
in
which
half
the
powers
of
Europe
were
concerned
,
to
bring
the
funds
down
,
and
to
ruin
this
country
.
That
's
why
I
'm
here
,
William
.
That
's
why
my
name
's
in
the
Gazette
.
Why
,
sir
?
--
because
I
trusted
the
Emperor
of
Russia
and
the
Prince
Regent
.
Look
here
.
Look
at
my
papers
.
Look
what
the
funds
were
on
the
1st
of
March
--
what
the
French
fives
were
when
I
bought
for
the
count
.
And
what
they
're
at
now
.
There
was
collusion
,
sir
,
or
that
villain
never
would
have
escaped
.
Where
was
the
English
Commissioner
who
allowed
him
to
get
away
?
He
ought
to
be
shot
,
sir
--
brought
to
a
court-martial
,
and
shot
,
by
Jove
.
"
"
We
're
going
to
hunt
Boney
out
,
sir
,
"
Dobbin
said
,
rather
alarmed
at
the
fury
of
the
old
man
,
the
veins
of
whose
forehead
began
to
swell
,
and
who
sate
drumming
his
papers
with
his
clenched
fist
.
"
We
are
going
to
hunt
him
out
,
sir
--
the
Duke
's
in
Belgium
already
,
and
we
expect
marching
orders
every
day
.
"
"
Give
him
no
quarter
.
Bring
back
the
villain
's
head
,
sir
.
Shoot
the
coward
down
,
sir
,
"
Sedley
roared
.
"
I
'd
enlist
myself
,
by
--
;
but
I
'm
a
broken
old
man
--
ruined
by
that
damned
scoundrel
--
and
by
a
parcel
of
swindling
thieves
in
this
country
whom
I
made
,
sir
,
and
who
are
rolling
in
their
carriages
now
,
"
he
added
,
with
a
break
in
his
voice
.
Dobbin
was
not
a
little
affected
by
the
sight
of
this
once
kind
old
friend
,
crazed
almost
with
misfortune
and
raving
with
senile
anger
.
Pity
the
fallen
gentleman
:
you
to
whom
money
and
fair
repute
are
the
chiefest
good
;
and
so
,
surely
,
are
they
in
Vanity
Fair
.
