Besides
these
characters
who
are
coming
and
going
away
,
we
must
remember
that
there
were
some
other
old
friends
of
ours
at
Brighton
;
Miss
Crawley
,
namely
,
and
the
suite
in
attendance
upon
her
.
Now
,
although
Rebecca
and
her
husband
were
but
at
a
few
stones
'
throw
of
the
lodgings
which
the
invalid
Miss
Crawley
occupied
,
the
old
lady
's
door
remained
as
pitilessly
closed
to
them
as
it
had
been
heretofore
in
London
.
As
long
as
she
remained
by
the
side
of
her
sister-in-law
,
Mrs.
Bute
Crawley
took
care
that
her
beloved
Matilda
should
not
be
agitated
by
a
meeting
with
her
nephew
.
When
the
spinster
took
her
drive
,
the
faithful
Mrs.
Bute
sate
beside
her
in
the
carriage
.
When
Miss
Crawley
took
the
air
in
a
chair
,
Mrs.
Bute
marched
on
one
side
of
the
vehicle
,
whilst
honest
Briggs
occupied
the
other
wing
.
And
if
they
met
Rawdon
and
his
wife
by
chance
--
although
the
former
constantly
and
obsequiously
took
off
his
hat
,
the
Miss-Crawley
party
passed
him
by
with
such
a
frigid
and
killing
indifference
,
that
Rawdon
began
to
despair
.
"
We
might
as
well
be
in
London
as
here
,
"
Captain
Rawdon
often
said
,
with
a
downcast
air
.
"
A
comfortable
inn
in
Brighton
is
better
than
a
spunging-house
in
Chancery
Lane
,
"
his
wife
answered
,
who
was
of
a
more
cheerful
temperament
.
"
Think
of
those
two
aides-de-camp
of
Mr.
Moses
,
the
sheriff
's
-
officer
,
who
watched
our
lodging
for
a
week
.
Our
friends
here
are
very
stupid
,
but
Mr.
Jos
and
Captain
Cupid
are
better
companions
than
Mr.
Moses
's
men
,
Rawdon
,
my
love
.
"
"
I
wonder
the
writs
have
n't
followed
me
down
here
,
"
Rawdon
continued
,
still
desponding
.
"
When
they
do
,
we
'll
find
means
to
give
them
the
slip
,
"
said
dauntless
little
Becky
,
and
further
pointed
out
to
her
husband
the
great
comfort
and
advantage
of
meeting
Jos
and
Osborne
,
whose
acquaintance
had
brought
to
Rawdon
Crawley
a
most
timely
little
supply
of
ready
money
.
"
It
will
hardly
be
enough
to
pay
the
inn
bill
,
"
grumbled
the
Guardsman
.
"
Why
need
we
pay
it
?
"
said
the
lady
,
who
had
an
answer
for
everything
.
Through
Rawdon
's
valet
,
who
still
kept
up
a
trifling
acquaintance
with
the
male
inhabitants
of
Miss
Crawley
's
servants
'
hall
,
and
was
instructed
to
treat
the
coachman
to
drink
whenever
they
met
,
old
Miss
Crawley
's
movements
were
pretty
well
known
by
our
young
couple
;
and
Rebecca
luckily
bethought
herself
of
being
unwell
,
and
of
calling
in
the
same
apothecary
who
was
in
attendance
upon
the
spinster
,
so
that
their
information
was
on
the
whole
tolerably
complete
.
Nor
was
Miss
Briggs
,
although
forced
to
adopt
a
hostile
attitude
,
secretly
inimical
to
Rawdon
and
his
wife
.
She
was
naturally
of
a
kindly
and
forgiving
disposition
.
Now
that
the
cause
of
jealousy
was
removed
,
her
dislike
for
Rebecca
disappeared
also
,
and
she
remembered
the
latter
's
invariable
good
words
and
good
humour
.
And
,
indeed
,
she
and
Mrs.
Firkin
,
the
lady
's
-
maid
,
and
the
whole
of
Miss
Crawley
's
household
,
groaned
under
the
tyranny
of
the
triumphant
Mrs.
Bute
.
As
often
will
be
the
case
,
that
good
but
imperious
woman
pushed
her
advantages
too
far
,
and
her
successes
quite
unmercifully
.
She
had
in
the
course
of
a
few
weeks
brought
the
invalid
to
such
a
state
of
helpless
docility
,
that
the
poor
soul
yielded
herself
entirely
to
her
sister
's
orders
,
and
did
not
even
dare
to
complain
of
her
slavery
to
Briggs
or
Firkin
.
Mrs.
