Miss
Sharp
,
"
said
he
,
pulling
up
his
shirt-collars
;
"
the
danger
makes
the
sport
only
the
pleasanter
.
"
He
had
never
been
but
once
at
a
tiger-hunt
,
when
the
accident
in
question
occurred
,
and
when
he
was
half
killed
--
not
by
the
tiger
,
but
by
the
fright
.
And
as
he
talked
on
,
he
grew
quite
bold
,
and
actually
had
the
audacity
to
ask
Miss
Rebecca
for
whom
she
was
knitting
the
green
silk
purse
?
He
was
quite
surprised
and
delighted
at
his
own
graceful
familiar
manner
.
"
For
any
one
who
wants
a
purse
,
"
replied
Miss
Rebecca
,
looking
at
him
in
the
most
gentle
winning
way
.
Sedley
was
going
to
make
one
of
the
most
eloquent
speeches
possible
,
and
had
begun
--
"
O
Miss
Sharp
,
how
--
"
when
some
song
which
was
performed
in
the
other
room
came
to
an
end
,
and
caused
him
to
hear
his
own
voice
so
distinctly
that
he
stopped
,
blushed
,
and
blew
his
nose
in
great
agitation
.
"
Did
you
ever
hear
anything
like
your
brother
's
eloquence
?
"
whispered
Mr.
Osborne
to
Amelia
.
"
Why
,
your
friend
has
worked
miracles
.
"
"
The
more
the
better
,
"
said
Miss
Amelia
;
who
,
like
almost
all
women
who
are
worth
a
pin
,
was
a
match-maker
in
her
heart
,
and
would
have
been
delighted
that
Joseph
should
carry
back
a
wife
to
India
.
She
had
,
too
,
in
the
course
of
this
few
days
'
constant
intercourse
,
warmed
into
a
most
tender
friendship
for
Rebecca
,
and
discovered
a
million
of
virtues
and
amiable
qualities
in
her
which
she
had
not
perceived
when
they
were
at
Chiswick
together
.
For
the
affection
of
young
ladies
is
of
as
rapid
growth
as
Jack
's
bean-stalk
,
and
reaches
up
to
the
sky
in
a
night
.
It
is
no
blame
to
them
that
after
marriage
this
Sehnsucht
nach
der
Liebe
subsides
.
It
is
what
sentimentalists
,
who
deal
in
very
big
words
,
call
a
yearning
after
the
Ideal
,
and
simply
means
that
women
are
commonly
not
satisfied
until
they
have
husbands
and
children
on
whom
they
may
centre
affections
,
which
are
spent
elsewhere
,
as
it
were
,
in
small
change
.
Having
expended
her
little
store
of
songs
,
or
having
stayed
long
enough
in
the
back
drawing-room
,
it
now
appeared
proper
to
Miss
Amelia
to
ask
her
friend
to
sing
.
"
You
would
not
have
listened
to
me
,
"
she
said
to
Mr.
Osborne
(
though
she
knew
she
was
telling
a
fib
)
,
"
had
you
heard
Rebecca
first
.
"
"
I
give
Miss
Sharp
warning
,
though
,
"
said
Osborne
,
"
that
,
right
or
wrong
,
I
consider
Miss
Amelia
Sedley
the
first
singer
in
the
world
.
"
"
You
shall
hear
,
"
said
Amelia
;
and
Joseph
Sedley
was
actually
polite
enough
to
carry
the
candles
to
the
piano
.
Osborne
hinted
that
he
should
like
quite
as
well
to
sit
in
the
dark
;
but
Miss
Sedley
,
laughing
,
declined
to
bear
him
company
any
farther
,
and
the
two
accordingly
followed
Mr.
Joseph
.
Rebecca
sang
far
better
than
her
friend
(
though
of
course
Osborne
was
free
to
keep
his
opinion
)
,
and
exerted
herself
to
the
utmost
,
and
,
indeed
,
to
the
wonder
of
Amelia
,
who
had
never
known
her
perform
so
well
.
She
sang
a
French
song
,
which
Joseph
did
not
understand
in
the
least
,
and
which
George
confessed
he
did
not
understand
,
and
then
a
number
of
those
simple
ballads
which
were
the
fashion
forty
years
ago
,
and
in
which
British
tars
,
our
King
,
poor
Susan
,
blue-eyed
Mary
,
and
the
like
,
were
the
principal
themes
.
They
are
not
,
it
is
said
,
very
brilliant
,
in
a
musical
point
of
view
,
but
contain
numberless
good-natured
,
simple
appeals
to
the
affections
,
which
people
understood
better
than
the
milk-and-water
lagrime
,
sospiri
,
and
felicita
of
the
eternal
Donizettian
music
with
which
we
are
favoured
now-a-days
.
Conversation
of
a
sentimental
sort
,
befitting
the
subject
,
was
carried
on
between
the
songs
,
to
which
Sambo
,
after
he
had
brought
the
tea
,
the
delighted
cook
,
and
even
Mrs.
Blenkinsop
,
the
housekeeper
,
condescended
to
listen
on
the
landing-place
.
