Ah
,
what
a
terrible
thing
it
must
be
to
be
a
soldier
's
wife
!
I
wonder
they
have
any
spirits
to
dance
,
and
in
these
dreadful
times
of
war
,
too
!
O
Captain
Dobbin
,
I
tremble
sometimes
when
I
think
of
our
dearest
George
,
and
the
dangers
of
the
poor
soldier
.
Are
there
many
married
officers
of
the
--
th
,
Captain
Dobbin
?
"
"
Upon
my
word
,
she
's
playing
her
hand
rather
too
openly
,
"
Miss
Wirt
thought
;
but
this
observation
is
merely
parenthetic
,
and
was
not
heard
through
the
crevice
of
the
door
at
which
the
governess
uttered
it
.
"
One
of
our
young
men
is
just
married
,
"
Dobbin
said
,
now
coming
to
the
point
.
"
It
was
a
very
old
attachment
,
and
the
young
couple
are
as
poor
as
church
mice
.
"
"
O
,
how
delightful
!
O
,
how
romantic
!
"
Miss
Osborne
cried
,
as
the
Captain
said
"
old
attachment
"
and
"
poor
.
"
Her
sympathy
encouraged
him
.
"
The
finest
young
fellow
in
the
regiment
,
"
he
continued
.
"
Not
a
braver
or
handsomer
officer
in
the
army
;
and
such
a
charming
wife
!
How
you
would
like
her
!
how
you
will
like
her
when
you
know
her
,
Miss
Osborne
.
"
The
young
lady
thought
the
actual
moment
had
arrived
,
and
that
Dobbin
's
nervousness
which
now
came
on
and
was
visible
in
many
twitchings
of
his
face
,
in
his
manner
of
beating
the
ground
with
his
great
feet
,
in
the
rapid
buttoning
and
unbuttoning
of
his
frock-coat
,
&
c.
--
Miss
Osborne
,
I
say
,
thought
that
when
he
had
given
himself
a
little
air
,
he
would
unbosom
himself
entirely
,
and
prepared
eagerly
to
listen
.
And
the
clock
,
in
the
altar
on
which
Iphigenia
was
situated
,
beginning
,
after
a
preparatory
convulsion
,
to
toll
twelve
,
the
mere
tolling
seemed
as
if
it
would
last
until
one
--
so
prolonged
was
the
knell
to
the
anxious
spinster
.
"
But
it
's
not
about
marriage
that
I
came
to
speak
--
that
is
that
marriage
--
that
is
--
no
,
I
mean
--
my
dear
Miss
Osborne
,
it
's
about
our
dear
friend
George
,
"
Dobbin
said
.
"
About
George
?
"
she
said
in
a
tone
so
discomfited
that
Maria
and
Miss
Wirt
laughed
at
the
other
side
of
the
door
,
and
even
that
abandoned
wretch
of
a
Dobbin
felt
inclined
to
smile
himself
;
for
he
was
not
altogether
unconscious
of
the
state
of
affairs
:
George
having
often
bantered
him
gracefully
and
said
,
"
Hang
it
,
Will
,
why
do
n't
you
take
old
Jane
?
She
'll
have
you
if
you
ask
her
.
I
'll
bet
you
five
to
two
she
will
.
"
"
Yes
,
about
George
,
then
,
"
he
continued
.
"
There
has
been
a
difference
between
him
and
Mr.
Osborne
.
And
I
regard
him
so
much
--
for
you
know
we
have
been
like
brothers
--
that
I
hope
and
pray
the
quarrel
may
be
settled
.
We
must
go
abroad
,
Miss
Osborne
.
We
may
be
ordered
off
at
a
day
's
warning
.
Who
knows
what
may
happen
in
the
campaign
?
Do
n't
be
agitated
,
dear
Miss
Osborne
;
and
those
two
at
least
should
part
friends
.
"
"
There
has
been
no
quarrel
,
Captain
Dobbin
,
except
a
little
usual
scene
with
Papa
,
"
the
lady
said
.
"
We
are
expecting
George
back
daily
.
What
Papa
wanted
was
only
for
his
good
.
He
has
but
to
come
back
,
and
I
'm
sure
all
will
be
well
;
and
dear
Rhoda
,
who
went
away
from
here
in
sad
sad
anger
,
I
know
will
forgive
him
.
Woman
forgives
but
too
readily
,
Captain
.
