Then
,
having
a
particular
end
in
view
,
this
dexterous
captain
proceeded
to
describe
Mrs.
Major
O'Dowd
packing
her
own
and
her
Major
's
wardrobe
,
and
how
his
best
epaulets
had
been
stowed
into
a
tea
canister
,
whilst
her
own
famous
yellow
turban
,
with
the
bird
of
paradise
wrapped
in
brown
paper
,
was
locked
up
in
the
Major
's
tin
cocked-hat
case
,
and
wondered
what
effect
it
would
have
at
the
French
king
's
court
at
Ghent
,
or
the
great
military
balls
at
Brussels
.
"
Ghent
!
Brussels
!
"
cried
out
Amelia
with
a
sudden
shock
and
start
.
"
Is
the
regiment
ordered
away
,
George
--
is
it
ordered
away
?
"
A
look
of
terror
came
over
the
sweet
smiling
face
,
and
she
clung
to
George
as
by
an
instinct
.
"
Do
n't
be
afraid
,
dear
,
"
he
said
good-naturedly
;
"
it
is
but
a
twelve
hours
'
passage
.
It
wo
n't
hurt
you
.
You
shall
go
,
too
,
Emmy
.
"
"
I
intend
to
go
,
"
said
Becky
.
"
I
'm
on
the
staff
.
General
Tufto
is
a
great
flirt
of
mine
.
Is
n't
he
,
Rawdon
?
"
Rawdon
laughed
out
with
his
usual
roar
.
William
Dobbin
flushed
up
quite
red
.
"
She
ca
n't
go
,
"
he
said
;
"
think
of
the
--
of
the
danger
,
"
he
was
going
to
add
;
but
had
not
all
his
conversation
during
dinner-time
tended
to
prove
there
was
none
?
He
became
very
confused
and
silent
.
"
I
must
and
will
go
,
"
Amelia
cried
with
the
greatest
spirit
;
and
George
,
applauding
her
resolution
,
patted
her
under
the
chin
,
and
asked
all
the
persons
present
if
they
ever
saw
such
a
termagant
of
a
wife
,
and
agreed
that
the
lady
should
bear
him
company
.
"
We
'll
have
Mrs.
O'Dowd
to
chaperon
you
,
"
he
said
.
What
cared
she
so
long
as
her
husband
was
near
her
?
Thus
somehow
the
bitterness
of
a
parting
was
juggled
away
.
Though
war
and
danger
were
in
store
,
war
and
danger
might
not
befall
for
months
to
come
.
There
was
a
respite
at
any
rate
,
which
made
the
timid
little
Amelia
almost
as
happy
as
a
full
reprieve
would
have
done
,
and
which
even
Dobbin
owned
in
his
heart
was
very
welcome
.
For
,
to
be
permitted
to
see
her
was
now
the
greatest
privilege
and
hope
of
his
life
,
and
he
thought
with
himself
secretly
how
he
would
watch
and
protect
her
.
I
would
n't
have
let
her
go
if
I
had
been
married
to
her
,
he
thought
.
But
George
was
the
master
,
and
his
friend
did
not
think
fit
to
remonstrate
.
Putting
her
arm
round
her
friend
's
waist
,
Rebecca
at
length
carried
Amelia
off
from
the
dinner-table
where
so
much
business
of
importance
had
been
discussed
,
and
left
the
gentlemen
in
a
highly
exhilarated
state
,
drinking
and
talking
very
gaily
.
In
the
course
of
the
evening
Rawdon
got
a
little
family-note
from
his
wife
,
which
,
although
he
crumpled
it
up
and
burnt
it
instantly
in
the
candle
,
we
had
the
good
luck
to
read
over
Rebecca
's
shoulder
.
"
Great
news
,
"
she
wrote
.
"
Mrs.
Bute
is
gone
.
Get
the
money
from
Cupid
tonight
,
as
he
'll
be
off
to-morrow
most
likely
.
Mind
this
.

R.
"
So
when
the
little
company
was
about
adjourning
to
coffee
in
the
women
's
apartment
,
Rawdon
touched
Osborne
on
the
elbow
,
and
said
gracefully
,
"
I
say
,
Osborne
,
my
boy
,
if
quite
convenient
,
I
'll
trouble
you
for
that
'
ere
small
trifle
.
"
It
was
not
quite
convenient
,
but
nevertheless
George
gave
him
a
considerable
present
instalment
in
bank-notes
from
his
pocket-book
,
and
a
bill
on
his
agents
at
a
week
's
date
,
for
the
remaining
sum
.
This
matter
arranged
,
George
,
and
Jos
,
and
Dobbin
,
held
a
council
of
war
over
their
cigars
,
and
agreed
that
a
general
move
should
be
made
for
London
in
Jos
's
open
carriage
the
next
day
.
Jos
,
I
think
,
would
have
preferred
staying
until
Rawdon
Crawley
quitted
Brighton
,
but
Dobbin
and
George
overruled
him
,
and
he
agreed
to
carry
the
party
to
town
,
and
ordered
four
horses
,
as
became
his
dignity
.
With
these
they
set
off
in
state
,
after
breakfast
,
the
next
day
.
Amelia
had
risen
very
early
in
the
morning
,
and
packed
her
little
trunks
with
the
greatest
alacrity
,
while
Osborne
lay
in
bed
deploring
that
she
had
not
a
maid
to
help
her
.
She
was
only
too
glad
,
however
,
to
perform
this
office
for
herself
.
A
dim
uneasy
sentiment
about
Rebecca
filled
her
mind
already
;
and
although
they
kissed
each
other
most
tenderly
at
parting
,
yet
we
know
what
jealousy
is
;
and
Mrs.
Amelia
possessed
that
among
other
virtues
of
her
sex
.
