Pooh
,
jealousy
!
"
answered
George
,
"
all
women
are
jealous
.
"
"
And
all
men
too
.
Were
n't
you
jealous
of
General
Tufto
,
and
the
General
of
you
,
on
the
night
of
the
Opera
?
Why
,
he
was
ready
to
eat
me
for
going
with
you
to
visit
that
foolish
little
wife
of
yours
;
as
if
I
care
a
pin
for
either
of
you
,
"
Crawley
's
wife
said
,
with
a
pert
toss
of
her
head
.
"
Will
you
dine
here
?
The
dragon
dines
with
the
Commander-in-Chief
.
Great
news
is
stirring
.
They
say
the
French
have
crossed
the
frontier
.
We
shall
have
a
quiet
dinner
.
"
George
accepted
the
invitation
,
although
his
wife
was
a
little
ailing
.
They
were
now
not
quite
six
weeks
married
.
Another
woman
was
laughing
or
sneering
at
her
expense
,
and
he
not
angry
.
He
was
not
even
angry
with
himself
,
this
good-natured
fellow
.
It
is
a
shame
,
he
owned
to
himself
;
but
hang
it
,
if
a
pretty
woman
WILL
throw
herself
in
your
way
,
why
,
what
can
a
fellow
do
,
you
know
?
I
AM
rather
free
about
women
,
he
had
often
said
,
smiling
and
nodding
knowingly
to
Stubble
and
Spooney
,
and
other
comrades
of
the
mess-table
;
and
they
rather
respected
him
than
otherwise
for
this
prowess
.
Next
to
conquering
in
war
,
conquering
in
love
has
been
a
source
of
pride
,
time
out
of
mind
,
amongst
men
in
Vanity
Fair
,
or
how
should
schoolboys
brag
of
their
amours
,
or
Don
Juan
be
popular
?
So
Mr.
Osborne
,
having
a
firm
conviction
in
his
own
mind
that
he
was
a
woman-killer
and
destined
to
conquer
,
did
not
run
counter
to
his
fate
,
but
yielded
himself
up
to
it
quite
complacently
.
And
as
Emmy
did
not
say
much
or
plague
him
with
her
jealousy
,
but
merely
became
unhappy
and
pined
over
it
miserably
in
secret
,
he
chose
to
fancy
that
she
was
not
suspicious
of
what
all
his
acquaintance
were
perfectly
aware
--
namely
,
that
he
was
carrying
on
a
desperate
flirtation
with
Mrs.
Crawley
.
He
rode
with
her
whenever
she
was
free
.
He
pretended
regimental
business
to
Amelia
(
by
which
falsehood
she
was
not
in
the
least
deceived
)
,
and
consigning
his
wife
to
solitude
or
her
brother
's
society
,
passed
his
evenings
in
the
Crawleys
'
company
;
losing
money
to
the
husband
and
flattering
himself
that
the
wife
was
dying
of
love
for
him
.
It
is
very
likely
that
this
worthy
couple
never
absolutely
conspired
and
agreed
together
in
so
many
words
:
the
one
to
cajole
the
young
gentleman
,
whilst
the
other
won
his
money
at
cards
:
but
they
understood
each
other
perfectly
well
,
and
Rawdon
let
Osborne
come
and
go
with
entire
good
humour
.
George
was
so
occupied
with
his
new
acquaintances
that
he
and
William
Dobbin
were
by
no
means
so
much
together
as
formerly
.
George
avoided
him
in
public
and
in
the
regiment
,
and
,
as
we
see
,
did
not
like
those
sermons
which
his
senior
was
disposed
to
inflict
upon
him
.
If
some
parts
of
his
conduct
made
Captain
Dobbin
exceedingly
grave
and
cool
;
of
what
use
was
it
to
tell
George
that
,
though
his
whiskers
were
large
,
and
his
own
opinion
of
his
knowingness
great
,
he
was
as
green
as
a
schoolboy
?
that
Rawdon
was
making
a
victim
of
him
as
he
had
done
of
many
before
,
and
as
soon
as
he
had
used
him
would
fling
him
off
with
scorn
?
He
would
not
listen
:
and
so
,
as
Dobbin
,
upon
those
days
when
he
visited
the
Osborne
house
,
seldom
had
the
advantage
of
meeting
his
old
friend
,
much
painful
and
unavailing
talk
between
them
was
spared
.
Our
friend
George
was
in
the
full
career
of
the
pleasures
of
Vanity
Fair
.
There
never
was
,
since
the
days
of
Darius
,
such
a
brilliant
train
of
camp-followers
as
hung
round
the
Duke
of
Wellington
's
army
in
the
Low
Countries
,
in
1815
;
and
led
it
dancing
and
feasting
,
as
it
were
,
up
to
the
very
brink
of
battle
.
A
certain
ball
which
a
noble
Duchess
gave
at
Brussels
on
the
15th
of
June
in
the
above-named
year
is
historical
.
All
Brussels
had
been
in
a
state
of
excitement
about
it
,
and
I
have
heard
from
ladies
who
were
in
that
town
at
the
period
,
that
the
talk
and
interest
of
persons
of
their
own
sex
regarding
the
ball
was
much
greater
even
than
in
respect
of
the
enemy
in
their
front
.
The
struggles
,
intrigues
,
and
prayers
to
get
tickets
were
such
as
only
English
ladies
will
employ
,
in
order
to
gain
admission
to
the
society
of
the
great
of
their
own
nation
.
Jos
and
Mrs.
O'Dowd
,
who
were
panting
to
be
asked
,
strove
in
vain
to
procure
tickets
;
but
others
of
our
friends
were
more
lucky
.
For
instance
,
through
the
interest
of
my
Lord
Bareacres
,
and
as
a
set-off
for
the
dinner
at
the
restaurateur
's
,
George
got
a
card
for
Captain
and
Mrs.
Osborne
;
which
circumstance
greatly
elated
him
.
Dobbin
,
who
was
a
friend
of
the
General
commanding
the
division
in
which
their
regiment
was
,
came
laughing
one
day
to
Mrs.
Osborne
,
and
displayed
a
similar
invitation
,
which
made
Jos
envious
,
and
George
wonder
how
the
deuce
he
should
be
getting
into
society
.
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Rawdon
,
finally
,
were
of
course
invited
;
as
became
the
friends
of
a
General
commanding
a
cavalry
brigade
.
