Mr.
Sedley
,
Mr.
Sedley
!
"
cried
the
boy
,
faintly
,
and
Jos
came
up
almost
frightened
at
the
appeal
.
He
had
not
at
first
distinguished
who
it
was
that
called
him
.
Little
Tom
Stubble
held
out
his
hot
and
feeble
hand
.
"
I
'm
to
be
taken
in
here
,
"
he
said
.
"
Osborne
--
and
--
and
Dobbin
said
I
was
;
and
you
are
to
give
the
man
two
napoleons
:
my
mother
will
pay
you
.
"
This
young
fellow
's
thoughts
,
during
the
long
feverish
hours
passed
in
the
cart
,
had
been
wandering
to
his
father
's
parsonage
which
he
had
quitted
only
a
few
months
before
,
and
he
had
sometimes
forgotten
his
pain
in
that
delirium
.
The
hotel
was
large
,
and
the
people
kind
,
and
all
the
inmates
of
the
cart
were
taken
in
and
placed
on
various
couches
.
The
young
ensign
was
conveyed
upstairs
to
Osborne
's
quarters
.
Amelia
and
the
Major
's
wife
had
rushed
down
to
him
,
when
the
latter
had
recognised
him
from
the
balcony
.
You
may
fancy
the
feelings
of
these
women
when
they
were
told
that
the
day
was
over
,
and
both
their
husbands
were
safe
;
in
what
mute
rapture
Amelia
fell
on
her
good
friend
's
neck
,
and
embraced
her
;
in
what
a
grateful
passion
of
prayer
she
fell
on
her
knees
,
and
thanked
the
Power
which
had
saved
her
husband
.
Our
young
lady
,
in
her
fevered
and
nervous
condition
,
could
have
had
no
more
salutary
medicine
prescribed
for
her
by
any
physician
than
that
which
chance
put
in
her
way
.
She
and
Mrs.
O'Dowd
watched
incessantly
by
the
wounded
lad
,
whose
pains
were
very
severe
,
and
in
the
duty
thus
forced
upon
her
,
Amelia
had
not
time
to
brood
over
her
personal
anxieties
,
or
to
give
herself
up
to
her
own
fears
and
forebodings
after
her
wont
.
The
young
patient
told
in
his
simple
fashion
the
events
of
the
day
,
and
the
actions
of
our
friends
of
the
gallant
--
th
.
They
had
suffered
severely
.
They
had
lost
very
many
officers
and
men
.
The
Major
's
horse
had
been
shot
under
him
as
the
regiment
charged
,
and
they
all
thought
that
O'Dowd
was
gone
,
and
that
Dobbin
had
got
his
majority
,
until
on
their
return
from
the
charge
to
their
old
ground
,
the
Major
was
discovered
seated
on
Pyramus
's
carcase
,
refreshing
him-self
from
a
case-bottle
.
It
was
Captain
Osborne
that
cut
down
the
French
lancer
who
had
speared
the
ensign
.
Amelia
turned
so
pale
at
the
notion
,
that
Mrs.
O'Dowd
stopped
the
young
ensign
in
this
story
.
And
it
was
Captain
Dobbin
who
at
the
end
of
the
day
,
though
wounded
himself
,
took
up
the
lad
in
his
arms
and
carried
him
to
the
surgeon
,
and
thence
to
the
cart
which
was
to
bring
him
back
to
Brussels
.
And
it
was
he
who
promised
the
driver
two
louis
if
he
would
make
his
way
to
Mr.
Sedley
's
hotel
in
the
city
;
and
tell
Mrs.
Captain
Osborne
that
the
action
was
over
,
and
that
her
husband
was
unhurt
and
well
.
"
Indeed
,
but
he
has
a
good
heart
that
William
Dobbin
,
"
Mrs.
O'Dowd
said
,
"
though
he
is
always
laughing
at
me
.
"
Young
Stubble
vowed
there
was
not
such
another
officer
in
the
army
,
and
never
ceased
his
praises
of
the
senior
captain
,
his
modesty
,
his
kindness
,
and
his
admirable
coolness
in
the
field
.
To
these
parts
of
the
conversation
,
Amelia
lent
a
very
distracted
attention
:
it
was
only
when
George
was
spoken
of
that
she
listened
,
and
when
he
was
not
mentioned
,
she
thought
about
him
.
In
tending
her
patient
,
and
in
thinking
of
the
wonderful
escapes
of
the
day
before
,
her
second
day
passed
away
not
too
slowly
with
Amelia
.
There
was
only
one
man
in
the
army
for
her
:
and
as
long
as
he
was
well
,
it
must
be
owned
that
its
movements
interested
her
little
.
All
the
reports
which
Jos
brought
from
the
streets
fell
very
vaguely
on
her
ears
;
though
they
were
sufficient
to
give
that
timorous
gentleman
,
and
many
other
people
then
in
Brussels
,
every
disquiet
.
The
French
had
been
repulsed
certainly
,
but
it
was
after
a
severe
and
doubtful
struggle
,
and
with
only
a
division
of
the
French
army
.
The
Emperor
,
with
the
main
body
,
was
away
at
Ligny
,
where
he
had
utterly
annihilated
the
Prussians
,
and
was
now
free
to
bring
his
whole
force
to
bear
upon
the
allies
.
The
Duke
of
Wellington
was
retreating
upon
the
capital
,
and
a
great
battle
must
be
fought
under
its
walls
probably
,
of
which
the
chances
were
more
than
doubtful
.
The
Duke
of
Wellington
had
but
twenty
thousand
British
troops
on
whom
he
could
rely
,
for
the
Germans
were
raw
militia
,
the
Belgians
disaffected
,
and
with
this
handful
his
Grace
had
to
resist
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
men
that
had
broken
into
Belgium
under
Napoleon
.
Under
Napoleon
!
What
warrior
was
there
,
however
famous
and
skilful
,
that
could
fight
at
odds
with
him
?
