I
should
have
liked
to
see
the
old
girl
before
we
went
,
"
Rawdon
said
.
"
She
looks
so
cut
up
and
altered
that
I
'm
sure
she
ca
n't
last
long
.
I
wonder
what
sort
of
a
cheque
I
shall
have
at
Waxy
's
Two
hundred
--
it
ca
n't
be
less
than
two
hundred
--
hey
,
Becky
?
"
In
consequence
of
the
repeated
visits
of
the
aides-de-camp
of
the
Sheriff
of
Middlesex
,
Rawdon
and
his
wife
did
not
go
back
to
their
lodgings
at
Brompton
,
but
put
up
at
an
inn
.
Early
the
next
morning
,
Rebecca
had
an
opportunity
of
seeing
them
as
she
skirted
that
suburb
on
her
road
to
old
Mrs.
Sedley
's
house
at
Fulham
,
whither
she
went
to
look
for
her
dear
Amelia
and
her
Brighton
friends
.
They
were
all
off
to
Chatham
,
thence
to
Harwich
,
to
take
shipping
for
Belgium
with
the
regiment
--
kind
old
Mrs.
Sedley
very
much
depressed
and
tearful
,
solitary
.
Returning
from
this
visit
,
Rebecca
found
her
husband
,
who
had
been
off
to
Gray
's
Inn
,
and
learnt
his
fate
.
He
came
back
furious
.
"
By
Jove
,
Becky
,
"
says
he
,
"
she
's
only
given
me
twenty
pound
!
"
Though
it
told
against
themselves
,
the
joke
was
too
good
,
and
Becky
burst
out
laughing
at
Rawdon
's
discomfiture
.
On
quitting
Brighton
,
our
friend
George
,
as
became
a
person
of
rank
and
fashion
travelling
in
a
barouche
with
four
horses
,
drove
in
state
to
a
fine
hotel
in
Cavendish
Square
,
where
a
suite
of
splendid
rooms
,
and
a
table
magnificently
furnished
with
plate
and
surrounded
by
a
half-dozen
of
black
and
silent
waiters
,
was
ready
to
receive
the
young
gentleman
and
his
bride
.
George
did
the
honours
of
the
place
with
a
princely
air
to
Jos
and
Dobbin
;
and
Amelia
,
for
the
first
time
,
and
with
exceeding
shyness
and
timidity
,
presided
at
what
George
called
her
own
table
.
George
pooh-poohed
the
wine
and
bullied
the
waiters
royally
,
and
Jos
gobbled
the
turtle
with
immense
satisfaction
.
Dobbin
helped
him
to
it
;
for
the
lady
of
the
house
,
before
whom
the
tureen
was
placed
,
was
so
ignorant
of
the
contents
,
that
she
was
going
to
help
Mr.
Sedley
without
bestowing
upon
him
either
calipash
or
calipee
.
The
splendour
of
the
entertainment
,
and
the
apartments
in
which
it
was
given
,
alarmed
Mr.
Dobbin
,
who
remonstrated
after
dinner
,
when
Jos
was
asleep
in
the
great
chair
.
But
in
vain
he
cried
out
against
the
enormity
of
turtle
and
champagne
that
was
fit
for
an
archbishop
.
"
I
've
always
been
accustomed
to
travel
like
a
gentleman
,
"
George
said
,
"
and
,
damme
,
my
wife
shall
travel
like
a
lady
.
As
long
as
there
's
a
shot
in
the
locker
,
she
shall
want
for
nothing
,
"
said
the
generous
fellow
,
quite
pleased
with
himself
for
his
magnificence
of
spirit
.
Nor
did
Dobbin
try
and
convince
him
that
Amelia
's
happiness
was
not
centred
in
turtle-soup
.
A
while
after
dinner
,
Amelia
timidly
expressed
a
wish
to
go
and
see
her
mamma
,
at
Fulham
:
which
permission
George
granted
her
with
some
grumbling
.
And
she
tripped
away
to
her
enormous
bedroom
,
in
the
centre
of
which
stood
the
enormous
funereal
bed
,
"
that
the
Emperor
Halixander
's
sister
slep
in
when
the
allied
sufferings
was
here
,
"
and
put
on
her
little
bonnet
and
shawl
with
the
utmost
eagerness
and
pleasure
.
George
was
still
drinking
claret
when
she
returned
to
the
dining-room
,
and
made
no
signs
of
moving
.
"
Ar
'n'
t
you
coming
with
me
,
dearest
?
"
she
asked
him
.
No
;
the
"
dearest
"
had
"
business
"
that
night
.
His
man
should
get
her
a
coach
and
go
with
her
.
And
the
coach
being
at
the
door
of
the
hotel
,
Amelia
made
George
a
little
disappointed
curtsey
after
looking
vainly
into
his
face
once
or
twice
,
and
went
sadly
down
the
great
staircase
,
Captain
Dobbin
after
,
who
handed
her
into
the
vehicle
,
and
saw
it
drive
away
to
its
destination
.
The
very
valet
was
ashamed
of
mentioning
the
address
to
the
hackney-coachman
before
the
hotel
waiters
,
and
promised
to
instruct
him
when
they
got
further
on
.
Dobbin
walked
home
to
his
old
quarters
and
the
Slaughters
'
,
thinking
very
likely
that
it
would
be
delightful
to
be
in
that
hackney-coach
,
along
with
Mrs.
Osborne
.
George
was
evidently
of
quite
a
different
taste
;
for
when
he
had
taken
wine
enough
,
he
went
off
to
half-price
at
the
play
,
to
see
Mr.
Kean
perform
in
Shylock
.
