I
wish
you
could
see
some
of
Rawdon
's
friends
who
are
always
about
our
door
,
"
Rebecca
said
,
laughing
.
"
Did
you
ever
see
a
dun
,
my
dear
;
or
a
bailiff
and
his
man
?
Two
of
the
abominable
wretches
watched
all
last
week
at
the
greengrocer
's
opposite
,
and
we
could
not
get
away
until
Sunday
.
If
Aunty
does
not
relent
,
what
shall
we
do
?
"
Rawdon
,
with
roars
of
laughter
,
related
a
dozen
amusing
anecdotes
of
his
duns
,
and
Rebecca
's
adroit
treatment
of
them
.
He
vowed
with
a
great
oath
that
there
was
no
woman
in
Europe
who
could
talk
a
creditor
over
as
she
could
.
Almost
immediately
after
their
marriage
,
her
practice
had
begun
,
and
her
husband
found
the
immense
value
of
such
a
wife
.
They
had
credit
in
plenty
,
but
they
had
bills
also
in
abundance
,
and
laboured
under
a
scarcity
of
ready
money
.
Did
these
debt-difficulties
affect
Rawdon
's
good
spirits
?
No
.
Everybody
in
Vanity
Fair
must
have
remarked
how
well
those
live
who
are
comfortably
and
thoroughly
in
debt
:
how
they
deny
themselves
nothing
;
how
jolly
and
easy
they
are
in
their
minds
.
Rawdon
and
his
wife
had
the
very
best
apartments
at
the
inn
at
Brighton
;
the
landlord
,
as
he
brought
in
the
first
dish
,
bowed
before
them
as
to
his
greatest
customers
:
and
Rawdon
abused
the
dinners
and
wine
with
an
audacity
which
no
grandee
in
the
land
could
surpass
.
Long
custom
,
a
manly
appearance
,
faultless
boots
and
clothes
,
and
a
happy
fierceness
of
manner
,
will
often
help
a
man
as
much
as
a
great
balance
at
the
banker
's
.
The
two
wedding
parties
met
constantly
in
each
other
's
apartments
.
After
two
or
three
nights
the
gentlemen
of
an
evening
had
a
little
piquet
,
as
their
wives
sate
and
chatted
apart
.
This
pastime
,
and
the
arrival
of
Jos
Sedley
,
who
made
his
appearance
in
his
grand
open
carriage
,
and
who
played
a
few
games
at
billiards
with
Captain
Crawley
,
replenished
Rawdon
's
purse
somewhat
,
and
gave
him
the
benefit
of
that
ready
money
for
which
the
greatest
spirits
are
sometimes
at
a
stand-still
So
the
three
gentlemen
walked
down
to
see
the
Lightning
coach
come
in
.
Punctual
to
the
minute
,
the
coach
crowded
inside
and
out
,
the
guard
blowing
his
accustomed
tune
on
the
horn
--
the
Lightning
came
tearing
down
the
street
,
and
pulled
up
at
the
coach-office
.
"
Hullo
!
there
's
old
Dobbin
,
"
George
cried
,
quite
delighted
to
see
his
old
friend
perched
on
the
roof
;
and
whose
promised
visit
to
Brighton
had
been
delayed
until
now
.
"
How
are
you
,
old
fellow
?
Glad
you
're
come
down
.
Emmy
'll
be
delighted
to
see
you
,
"
Osborne
said
,
shaking
his
comrade
warmly
by
the
hand
as
soon
as
his
descent
from
the
vehicle
was
effected
--
and
then
he
added
,
in
a
lower
and
agitated
voice
,
"
What
's
the
news
?
Have
you
been
in
Russell
Square
?
What
does
the
governor
say
?
Tell
me
everything
.
"
Dobbin
looked
very
pale
and
grave
.
"
I
've
seen
your
father
,
"
said
he
.
"
How
's
Amelia
--
Mrs.
George
?
I
'll
tell
you
all
the
news
presently
:
but
I
've
brought
the
great
news
of
all
:
and
that
is
--
"
"
Out
with
it
,
old
fellow
,
"
George
said
.
"
We
're
ordered
to
Belgium
.
All
the
army
goes
--
guards
and
all
.
Heavytop
's
got
the
gout
,
and
is
mad
at
not
being
able
to
move
.
O'Dowd
goes
in
command
,
and
we
embark
from
Chatham
next
week
.
"
This
news
of
war
could
not
but
come
with
a
shock
upon
our
lovers
,
and
caused
all
these
gentlemen
to
look
very
serious
.
What
is
the
secret
mesmerism
which
friendship
possesses
,
and
under
the
operation
of
which
a
person
ordinarily
sluggish
,
or
cold
,
or
timid
,
becomes
wise
,
active
,
and
resolute
,
in
another
's
behalf
?
As
Alexis
,
after
a
few
passes
from
Dr.
Elliotson
,
despises
pain
,
reads
with
the
back
of
his
head
,
sees
miles
off
,
looks
into
next
week
,
and
performs
other
wonders
,
of
which
,
in
his
own
private
normal
condition
,
he
is
quite
incapable
;
so
you
see
,
in
the
affairs
of
the
world
and
under
the
magnetism
of
friendships
,
the
modest
man
becomes
bold
,
the
shy
confident
,
the
lazy
active
,
or
the
impetuous
prudent
and
peaceful
.
