Osborne
rose
too
,
and
shook
him
heartily
by
the
hand
,
and
said
,
"
How
do
,
my
dear
boy
?
"
with
a
cordiality
that
made
poor
George
's
ambassador
feel
doubly
guilty
.
His
hand
lay
as
if
dead
in
the
old
gentleman
's
grasp
.
He
felt
that
he
,
Dobbin
,
was
more
or
less
the
cause
of
all
that
had
happened
.
It
was
he
had
brought
back
George
to
Amelia
:
it
was
he
had
applauded
,
encouraged
,
transacted
almost
the
marriage
which
he
was
come
to
reveal
to
George
's
father
:
and
the
latter
was
receiving
him
with
smiles
of
welcome
;
patting
him
on
the
shoulder
,
and
calling
him
"
Dobbin
,
my
dear
boy
.
"
The
envoy
had
indeed
good
reason
to
hang
his
head
.
Osborne
fully
believed
that
Dobbin
had
come
to
announce
his
son
's
surrender
.
Mr.
Chopper
and
his
principal
were
talking
over
the
matter
between
George
and
his
father
,
at
the
very
moment
when
Dobbin
's
messenger
arrived
.
Both
agreed
that
George
was
sending
in
his
submission
.
Both
had
been
expecting
it
for
some
days
--
and
"
Lord
!
Chopper
,
what
a
marriage
we
'll
have
!
"
Mr.
Osborne
said
to
his
clerk
,
snapping
his
big
fingers
,
and
jingling
all
the
guineas
and
shillings
in
his
great
pockets
as
he
eyed
his
subordinate
with
a
look
of
triumph
.
With
similar
operations
conducted
in
both
pockets
,
and
a
knowing
jolly
air
,
Osborne
from
his
chair
regarded
Dobbin
seated
blank
and
silent
opposite
to
him
.
"
What
a
bumpkin
he
is
for
a
Captain
in
the
army
,
"
old
Osborne
thought
.
"
I
wonder
George
has
n't
taught
him
better
manners
.
"
At
last
Dobbin
summoned
courage
to
begin
.
"
Sir
,
"
said
he
,
"
I
've
brought
you
some
very
grave
news
.
I
have
been
at
the
Horse
Guards
this
morning
,
and
there
's
no
doubt
that
our
regiment
will
be
ordered
abroad
,
and
on
its
way
to
Belgium
before
the
week
is
over
.
And
you
know
,
sir
,
that
we
sha
n't
be
home
again
before
a
tussle
which
may
be
fatal
to
many
of
us
.
"
Osborne
looked
grave
.
"
My
s
--
the
regiment
will
do
its
duty
,
sir
,
I
daresay
,
"
he
said
.
"
The
French
are
very
strong
,
sir
,
"
Dobbin
went
on
.
"
The
Russians
and
Austrians
will
be
a
long
time
before
they
can
bring
their
troops
down
.
We
shall
have
the
first
of
the
fight
,
sir
;
and
depend
on
it
Boney
will
take
care
that
it
shall
be
a
hard
one
.
"
"
What
are
you
driving
at
,
Dobbin
?
"
his
interlocutor
said
,
uneasy
and
with
a
scowl
.
"
I
suppose
no
Briton
's
afraid
of
any
d
--
--
Frenchman
,
hey
?
"
"
I
only
mean
,
that
before
we
go
,
and
considering
the
great
and
certain
risk
that
hangs
over
every
one
of
us
--
if
there
are
any
differences
between
you
and
George
--
it
would
be
as
well
,
sir
,
that
--
that
you
should
shake
hands
:
would
n't
it
?
Should
anything
happen
to
him
,
I
think
you
would
never
forgive
yourself
if
you
had
n't
parted
in
charity
.
"
As
he
said
this
,
poor
William
Dobbin
blushed
crimson
,
and
felt
and
owned
that
he
himself
was
a
traitor
.
But
for
him
,
perhaps
,
this
severance
need
never
have
taken
place
.
Why
had
not
George
's
marriage
been
delayed
?
What
call
was
there
to
press
it
on
so
eagerly
?
He
felt
that
George
would
have
parted
from
Amelia
at
any
rate
without
a
mortal
pang
.
Amelia
,
too
,
MIGHT
have
recovered
the
shock
of
losing
him
.
