The
idea
of
hitting
his
enemy
Osborne
such
a
blow
soothed
,
perhaps
,
the
old
gentleman
:
and
,
their
colloquy
presently
ending
,
he
and
Dobbin
parted
pretty
good
friends
.
"
My
sisters
say
she
has
diamonds
as
big
as
pigeons
'
eggs
,
"
George
said
,
laughing
.
"
How
they
must
set
off
her
complexion
!
A
perfect
illumination
it
must
be
when
her
jewels
are
on
her
neck
.
Her
jet-black
hair
is
as
curly
as
Sambo
's
.
I
dare
say
she
wore
a
nose
ring
when
she
went
to
court
;
and
with
a
plume
of
feathers
in
her
top-knot
she
would
look
a
perfect
Belle
Sauvage
.
"
George
,
in
conversation
with
Amelia
,
was
rallying
the
appearance
of
a
young
lady
of
whom
his
father
and
sisters
had
lately
made
the
acquaintance
,
and
who
was
an
object
of
vast
respect
to
the
Russell
Square
family
.
She
was
reported
to
have
I
do
n't
know
how
many
plantations
in
the
West
Indies
;
a
deal
of
money
in
the
funds
;
and
three
stars
to
her
name
in
the
East
India
stockholders
'
list
.
She
had
a
mansion
in
Surrey
,
and
a
house
in
Portland
Place
.
The
name
of
the
rich
West
India
heiress
had
been
mentioned
with
applause
in
the
Morning
Post
.
Mrs.
Haggistoun
,
Colonel
Haggistoun
's
widow
,
her
relative
,
"
chaperoned
"
her
,
and
kept
her
house
.
She
was
just
from
school
,
where
she
had
completed
her
education
,
and
George
and
his
sisters
had
met
her
at
an
evening
party
at
old
Hulker
's
house
,
Devonshire
Place
(
Hulker
,
Bullock
,
and
Co.
were
long
the
correspondents
of
her
house
in
the
West
Indies
)
,
and
the
girls
had
made
the
most
cordial
advances
to
her
,
which
the
heiress
had
received
with
great
good
humour
.
An
orphan
in
her
position
--
with
her
money
--
so
interesting
!
the
Misses
Osborne
said
.
They
were
full
of
their
new
friend
when
they
returned
from
the
Hulker
ball
to
Miss
Wirt
,
their
companion
;
they
had
made
arrangements
for
continually
meeting
,
and
had
the
carriage
and
drove
to
see
her
the
very
next
day
.
Mrs.
Haggistoun
,
Colonel
Haggistoun
's
widow
,
a
relation
of
Lord
Binkie
,
and
always
talking
of
him
,
struck
the
dear
unsophisticated
girls
as
rather
haughty
,
and
too
much
inclined
to
talk
about
her
great
relations
:
but
Rhoda
was
everything
they
could
wish
--
the
frankest
,
kindest
,
most
agreeable
creature
--
wanting
a
little
polish
,
but
so
good-natured
.
The
girls
Christian-named
each
other
at
once
.
"
You
should
have
seen
her
dress
for
court
,
Emmy
,
"
Osborne
cried
,
laughing
.
"
She
came
to
my
sisters
to
show
it
off
,
before
she
was
presented
in
state
by
my
Lady
Binkie
,
the
Haggistoun
's
kinswoman
.
She
's
related
to
every
one
,
that
Haggistoun
.
Her
diamonds
blazed
out
like
Vauxhall
on
the
night
we
were
there
.
(
Do
you
remember
Vauxhall
,
Emmy
,
and
Jos
singing
to
his
dearest
diddle
diddle
darling
?
)
Diamonds
and
mahogany
,
my
dear
!
think
what
an
advantageous
contrast
--
and
the
white
feathers
in
her
hair
--
I
mean
in
her
wool
.
She
had
earrings
like
chandeliers
;
you
might
have
lighted
'em
up
,
by
Jove
--
and
a
yellow
satin
train
that
streeled
after
her
like
the
tail
of
a
cornet
.
"
"
How
old
is
she
?
"
asked
Emmy
,
to
whom
George
was
rattling
away
regarding
this
dark
paragon
,
on
the
morning
of
their
reunion
--
rattling
away
as
no
other
man
in
the
world
surely
could
.
"
Why
the
Black
Princess
,
though
she
has
only
just
left
school
,
must
be
two
or
three
and
twenty
.
And
you
should
see
the
hand
she
writes
!
Mrs.
Colonel
Haggistoun
usually
writes
her
letters
,
but
in
a
moment
of
confidence
,
she
put
pen
to
paper
for
my
sisters
;
she
spelt
satin
satting
,
and
Saint
James
's
,
Saint
Jams
.
"
"
Why
,
surely
it
must
be
Miss
Swartz
,
the
parlour
boarder
,
"
Emmy
said
,
remembering
that
good-natured
young
mulatto
girl
,
who
had
been
so
hysterically
affected
when
Amelia
left
Miss
Pinkerton
's
academy
.
