Old
Sedley
began
to
laugh
,
and
thought
Rebecca
was
a
good-humoured
girl
.
Joseph
simply
said
,
"
Cream-tarts
,
Miss
?
Our
cream
is
very
bad
in
Bengal
.
We
generally
use
goats
'
milk
;
and
,
'
gad
,
do
you
know
,
I
've
got
to
prefer
it
!
"
"
You
wo
n't
like
EVERYTHING
from
India
now
,
Miss
Sharp
,
"
said
the
old
gentleman
;
but
when
the
ladies
had
retired
after
dinner
,
the
wily
old
fellow
said
to
his
son
,
"
Have
a
care
,
Joe
;
that
girl
is
setting
her
cap
at
you
.
"
"
Pooh
!
nonsense
!
"
said
Joe
,
highly
flattered
.
"
I
recollect
,
sir
,
there
was
a
girl
at
Dumdum
,
a
daughter
of
Cutler
of
the
Artillery
,
and
afterwards
married
to
Lance
,
the
surgeon
,
who
made
a
dead
set
at
me
in
the
year
'
4
--
at
me
and
Mulligatawney
,
whom
I
mentioned
to
you
before
dinner
--
a
devilish
good
fellow
Mulligatawney
--
he
's
a
magistrate
at
Budgebudge
,
and
sure
to
be
in
council
in
five
years
.
Well
,
sir
,
the
Artillery
gave
a
ball
,
and
Quintin
,
of
the
King
's
14th
,
said
to
me
,
'
Sedley
,
'
said
he
,
'
I
bet
you
thirteen
to
ten
that
Sophy
Cutler
hooks
either
you
or
Mulligatawney
before
the
rains
.
'
'
Done
,
'
says
I
;
and
egad
,
sir
--
this
claret
's
very
good
.
Adamson
's
or
Carbonell
's
?
"
A
slight
snore
was
the
only
reply
:
the
honest
stockbroker
was
asleep
,
and
so
the
rest
of
Joseph
's
story
was
lost
for
that
day
.
But
he
was
always
exceedingly
communicative
in
a
man
's
party
,
and
has
told
this
delightful
tale
many
scores
of
times
to
his
apothecary
,
Dr.
Gollop
,
when
he
came
to
inquire
about
the
liver
and
the
blue-pill
Being
an
invalid
,
Joseph
Sedley
contented
himself
with
a
bottle
of
claret
besides
his
Madeira
at
dinner
,
and
he
managed
a
couple
of
plates
full
of
strawberries
and
cream
,
and
twenty-four
little
rout
cakes
that
were
lying
neglected
in
a
plate
near
him
,
and
certainly
(
for
novelists
have
the
privilege
of
knowing
everything
)
he
thought
a
great
deal
about
the
girl
upstairs
.
"
A
nice
,
gay
,
merry
young
creature
,
"
thought
he
to
himself
.
"
How
she
looked
at
me
when
I
picked
up
her
handkerchief
at
dinner
!
She
dropped
it
twice
.
Who
's
that
singing
in
the
drawing-room
?
'
Gad
!
shall
I
go
up
and
see
?
"
But
his
modesty
came
rushing
upon
him
with
uncontrollable
force
.
His
father
was
asleep
:
his
hat
was
in
the
hall
:
there
was
a
hackney-coach
standing
hard
by
in
Southampton
Row
.
"
I
'll
go
and
see
the
Forty
Thieves
,
"
said
he
,
"
and
Miss
Decamp
's
dance
"
;
and
he
slipped
away
gently
on
the
pointed
toes
of
his
boots
,
and
disappeared
,
without
waking
his
worthy
parent
.
"
There
goes
Joseph
,
"
said
Amelia
,
who
was
looking
from
the
open
windows
of
the
drawing-room
,
while
Rebecca
was
singing
at
the
piano
.
"
Miss
Sharp
has
frightened
him
away
,
"
said
Mrs.
Sedley
.
"
Poor
Joe
,
why
WILL
he
be
so
shy
?
"
Poor
Joe
's
panic
lasted
for
two
or
three
days
;
during
which
he
did
not
visit
the
house
,
nor
during
that
period
did
Miss
Rebecca
ever
mention
his
name
.
She
was
all
respectful
gratitude
to
Mrs.
Sedley
;
delighted
beyond
measure
at
the
Bazaars
;
and
in
a
whirl
of
wonder
at
the
theatre
,
whither
the
good-natured
lady
took
her
.
One
day
,
Amelia
had
a
headache
,
and
could
not
go
upon
some
party
of
pleasure
to
which
the
two
young
people
were
invited
:
nothing
could
induce
her
friend
to
go
without
her
.
"
What
!
you
who
have
shown
the
poor
orphan
what
happiness
and
love
are
for
the
first
time
in
her
life
--
quit
YOU
?
Never
!
"
and
the
green
eyes
looked
up
to
Heaven
and
filled
with
tears
;
and
Mrs.
Sedley
could
not
but
own
that
her
daughter
's
friend
had
a
charming
kind
heart
of
her
own
.
