Now
we
have
heard
how
Mrs.
Sedley
had
prepared
a
fine
curry
for
her
son
,
just
as
he
liked
it
,
and
in
the
course
of
dinner
a
portion
of
this
dish
was
offered
to
Rebecca
.
"
What
is
it
?
"
said
she
,
turning
an
appealing
look
to
Mr.
Joseph
.
"
Capital
,
"
said
he
.
His
mouth
was
full
of
it
:
his
face
quite
red
with
the
delightful
exercise
of
gobbling
.
"
Mother
,
it
's
as
good
as
my
own
curries
in
India
.
"
"
Oh
,
I
must
try
some
,
if
it
is
an
Indian
dish
,
"
said
Miss
Rebecca
.
"
I
am
sure
everything
must
be
good
that
comes
from
there
.
"
"
Give
Miss
Sharp
some
curry
,
my
dear
,
"
said
Mr.
Sedley
,
laughing
.
Rebecca
had
never
tasted
the
dish
before
.
"
Do
you
find
it
as
good
as
everything
else
from
India
?
"
said
Mr.
Sedley
.
"
Oh
,
excellent
!
"
said
Rebecca
,
who
was
suffering
tortures
with
the
cayenne
pepper
.
"
Try
a
chili
with
it
,
Miss
Sharp
,
"
said
Joseph
,
really
interested
.
"
A
chili
,
"
said
Rebecca
,
gasping
.
"
Oh
yes
!
"
She
thought
a
chili
was
something
cool
,
as
its
name
imported
,
and
was
served
with
some
.
"
How
fresh
and
green
they
look
,
"
she
said
,
and
put
one
into
her
mouth
.
It
was
hotter
than
the
curry
;
flesh
and
blood
could
bear
it
no
longer
.
She
laid
down
her
fork
.
"
Water
,
for
Heaven
's
sake
,
water
!
"
she
cried
.
Mr.
Sedley
burst
out
laughing
(
he
was
a
coarse
man
,
from
the
Stock
Exchange
,
where
they
love
all
sorts
of
practical
jokes
)
.
"
They
are
real
Indian
,
I
assure
you
,
"
said
he
.
"
Sambo
,
give
Miss
Sharp
some
water
.
"
The
paternal
laugh
was
echoed
by
Joseph
,
who
thought
the
joke
capital
.
The
ladies
only
smiled
a
little
.
They
thought
poor
Rebecca
suffered
too
much
.
She
would
have
liked
to
choke
old
Sedley
,
but
she
swallowed
her
mortification
as
well
as
she
had
the
abominable
curry
before
it
,
and
as
soon
as
she
could
speak
,
said
,
with
a
comical
,
good-humoured
air
,
"
I
ought
to
have
remembered
the
pepper
which
the
Princess
of
Persia
puts
in
the
cream-tarts
in
the
Arabian
Nights
.
Do
you
put
cayenne
into
your
cream-tarts
in
India
,
sir
?
"
