As
for
Mr.
Sedley
's
jokes
,
Rebecca
laughed
at
them
with
a
cordiality
and
perseverance
which
not
a
little
pleased
and
softened
that
good-natured
gentleman
.
Nor
was
it
with
the
chiefs
of
the
family
alone
that
Miss
Sharp
found
favour
.
She
interested
Mrs.
Blenkinsop
by
evincing
the
deepest
sympathy
in
the
raspberry-jam
preserving
,
which
operation
was
then
going
on
in
the
Housekeeper
's
room
;
she
persisted
in
calling
Sambo
"
Sir
,
"
and
"
Mr.
Sambo
,
"
to
the
delight
of
that
attendant
;
and
she
apologised
to
the
lady
's
maid
for
giving
her
trouble
in
venturing
to
ring
the
bell
,
with
such
sweetness
and
humility
,
that
the
Servants
'
Hall
was
almost
as
charmed
with
her
as
the
Drawing
Room
.
Once
,
in
looking
over
some
drawings
which
Amelia
had
sent
from
school
,
Rebecca
suddenly
came
upon
one
which
caused
her
to
burst
into
tears
and
leave
the
room
.
It
was
on
the
day
when
Joe
Sedley
made
his
second
appearance
.
Amelia
hastened
after
her
friend
to
know
the
cause
of
this
display
of
feeling
,
and
the
good-natured
girl
came
back
without
her
companion
,
rather
affected
too
.
"
You
know
,
her
father
was
our
drawing-master
,
Mamma
,
at
Chiswick
,
and
used
to
do
all
the
best
parts
of
our
drawings
.
"
"
My
love
!
I
'm
sure
I
always
heard
Miss
Pinkerton
say
that
he
did
not
touch
them
--
he
only
mounted
them
.
"
"
It
was
called
mounting
,
Mamma
.
Rebecca
remembers
the
drawing
,
and
her
father
working
at
it
,
and
the
thought
of
it
came
upon
her
rather
suddenly
--
and
so
,
you
know
,
she
--
"
"
The
poor
child
is
all
heart
,
"
said
Mrs.
Sedley
.
"
I
wish
she
could
stay
with
us
another
week
,
"
said
Amelia
.
"
She
's
devilish
like
Miss
Cutler
that
I
used
to
meet
at
Dumdum
,
only
fairer
.
She
's
married
now
to
Lance
,
the
Artillery
Surgeon
.
Do
you
know
,
Ma'am
,
that
once
Quintin
,
of
the
14th
,
bet
me
--
"
"
O
Joseph
,
we
know
that
story
,
"
said
Amelia
,
laughing
.
Never
mind
about
telling
that
;
but
persuade
Mamma
to
write
to
Sir
Something
Crawley
for
leave
of
absence
for
poor
dear
Rebecca
:
here
she
comes
,
her
eyes
red
with
weeping
.
"
"
I
'm
better
,
now
,
"
said
the
girl
,
with
the
sweetest
smile
possible
,
taking
good-natured
Mrs.
Sedley
's
extended
hand
and
kissing
it
respectfully
.
"
How
kind
you
all
are
to
me
!
All
,
"
she
added
,
with
a
laugh
,
"
except
you
,
Mr.
Joseph
.
"
