Run
Simple
(
Ensign
Simple
,
of
Ours
,
my
dear
Amelia
.
I
forgot
to
introjuice
him
to
ye
)
.
Run
in
a
hurry
,
with
Mrs.
Major
O'Dowd
's
compliments
to
Colonel
Tavish
,
and
Captain
Osborne
has
brought
his
brothernlaw
down
,
and
will
bring
him
to
the
150th
mess
at
five
o'clock
sharp
--
when
you
and
I
,
my
dear
,
will
take
a
snack
here
,
if
you
like
.
"
Before
Mrs.
O'Dowd
's
speech
was
concluded
,
the
young
Ensign
was
trotting
downstairs
on
his
commission
.
"
Obedience
is
the
soul
of
the
army
.
We
will
go
to
our
duty
while
Mrs.
O'Dowd
will
stay
and
enlighten
you
,
Emmy
,
"
Captain
Osborne
said
;
and
the
two
gentlemen
,
taking
each
a
wing
of
the
Major
,
walked
out
with
that
officer
,
grinning
at
each
other
over
his
head
.
And
,
now
having
her
new
friend
to
herself
,
the
impetuous
Mrs
:
O'Dowd
proceeded
to
pour
out
such
a
quantity
of
information
as
no
poor
little
woman
's
memory
could
ever
tax
itself
to
bear
.
She
told
Amelia
a
thousand
particulars
relative
to
the
very
numerous
family
of
which
the
amazed
young
lady
found
herself
a
member
.
"
Mrs.
Heavytop
,
the
Colonel
's
wife
,
died
in
Jamaica
of
the
yellow
faver
and
a
broken
heart
comboined
,
for
the
horrud
old
Colonel
,
with
a
head
as
bald
as
a
cannon-ball
,
was
making
sheep
's
eyes
at
a
half-caste
girl
there
.
Mrs.
Magenis
,
though
without
education
,
was
a
good
woman
,
but
she
had
the
divvle
's
tongue
,
and
would
cheat
her
own
mother
at
whist
.
Mrs.
Captain
Kirk
must
turn
up
her
lobster
eyes
forsooth
at
the
idea
of
an
honest
round
game
(
wherein
me
fawther
,
as
pious
a
man
as
ever
went
to
church
,
me
uncle
Dane
Malony
,
and
our
cousin
the
Bishop
,
took
a
hand
at
loo
,
or
whist
,
every
night
of
their
lives
)
.
Nayther
of
'em
's
goin
'
with
the
regiment
this
time
,
"
Mrs.
O'Dowd
added
.
"
Fanny
Magenis
stops
with
her
mother
,
who
sells
small
coal
and
potatoes
,
most
likely
,
in
Islington-town
,
hard
by
London
,
though
she
's
always
bragging
of
her
father
's
ships
,
and
pointing
them
out
to
us
as
they
go
up
the
river
:
and
Mrs.
Kirk
and
her
children
will
stop
here
in
Bethesda
Place
,
to
be
nigh
to
her
favourite
preacher
,
Dr.
Ramshorn
.
Mrs.
Bunny
's
in
an
interesting
situation
--
faith
,
and
she
always
is
,
then
--
and
has
given
the
Lieutenant
seven
already
.
And
Ensign
Posky
's
wife
,
who
joined
two
months
before
you
,
my
dear
,
has
quarl
'd
with
Tom
Posky
a
score
of
times
,
till
you
can
hear
'm
all
over
the
bar
'
ck
(
they
say
they
're
come
to
broken
pleets
,
and
Tom
never
accounted
for
his
black
oi
)
,
and
she
'll
go
back
to
her
mother
,
who
keeps
a
ladies
'
siminary
at
Richmond
--
bad
luck
to
her
for
running
away
from
it
!
Where
did
ye
get
your
finishing
,
my
dear
?
I
had
moin
,
and
no
expince
spared
,
at
Madame
Flanahan
's
,
at
Ilyssus
Grove
,
Booterstown
,
near
Dublin
,
wid
a
Marchioness
to
teach
us
the
true
Parisian
pronunciation
,
and
a
retired
Mejor-General
of
the
French
service
to
put
us
through
the
exercise
.
"
Of
this
incongruous
family
our
astonished
Amelia
found
herself
all
of
a
sudden
a
member
:
with
Mrs.
O'Dowd
as
an
elder
sister
.
She
was
presented
to
her
other
female
relations
at
tea-time
,
on
whom
,
as
she
was
quiet
,
good-natured
,
and
not
too
handsome
,
she
made
rather
an
agreeable
impression
until
the
arrival
of
the
gentlemen
from
the
mess
of
the
150th
,
who
all
admired
her
so
,
that
her
sisters
began
,
of
course
,
to
find
fault
with
her
.
"
I
hope
Osborne
has
sown
his
wild
oats
,
"
said
Mrs.
Magenis
to
Mrs.
Bunny
.
"
If
a
reformed
rake
makes
a
good
husband
,
sure
it
's
she
will
have
the
fine
chance
with
Garge
,
"
Mrs.
O'Dowd
remarked
to
Posky
,
who
had
lost
her
position
as
bride
in
the
regiment
,
and
was
quite
angry
with
the
usurper
.
And
as
for
Mrs.
Kirk
:
that
disciple
of
Dr.
Ramshorn
put
one
or
two
leading
professional
questions
to
Amelia
,
to
see
whether
she
was
awakened
,
whether
she
was
a
professing
Christian
and
so
forth
,
and
finding
from
the
simplicity
of
Mrs.
Osborne
's
replies
that
she
was
yet
in
utter
darkness
,
put
into
her
hands
three
little
penny
books
with
pictures
,
viz.
,
the
"
Howling
Wilderness
,
"
the
"
Washerwoman
of
Wandsworth
Common
,
"
and
the
"
British
Soldier
's
best
Bayonet
,
"
which
,
bent
upon
awakening
her
before
she
slept
,
Mrs.
Kirk
begged
Amelia
to
read
that
night
ere
she
went
to
bed
.
But
all
the
men
,
like
good
fellows
as
they
were
,
rallied
round
their
comrade
's
pretty
wife
,
and
paid
her
their
court
with
soldierly
gallantry
.
She
had
a
little
triumph
,
which
flushed
her
spirits
and
made
her
eyes
sparkle
.
George
was
proud
of
her
popularity
,
and
pleased
with
the
manner
(
which
was
very
gay
and
graceful
,
though
naive
and
a
little
timid
)
with
which
she
received
the
gentlemen
's
attentions
,
and
answered
their
compliments
.
And
he
in
his
uniform
--
how
much
handsomer
he
was
than
any
man
in
the
room
!
She
felt
that
he
was
affectionately
watching
her
,
and
glowed
with
pleasure
at
his
kindness
.
"
I
will
make
all
his
friends
welcome
,
"
she
resolved
in
her
heart
.
"
I
will
love
all
as
I
love
him
.
I
will
always
try
and
be
gay
and
good-humoured
and
make
his
home
happy
.
"
