Her
aunt
was
dead
.
Mrs.
Crawley
ordered
the
most
intense
mourning
for
herself
and
little
Rawdon
.
The
Colonel
was
busy
arranging
the
affairs
of
the
inheritance
.
They
could
take
the
premier
now
,
instead
of
the
little
entresol
of
the
hotel
which
they
occupied
.
Mrs.
Crawley
and
the
landlord
had
a
consultation
about
the
new
hangings
,
an
amicable
wrangle
about
the
carpets
,
and
a
final
adjustment
of
everything
except
the
bill
.
She
went
off
in
one
of
his
carriages
;
her
French
bonne
with
her
;
the
child
by
her
side
;
the
admirable
landlord
and
landlady
smiling
farewell
to
her
from
the
gate
.
General
Tufto
was
furious
when
he
heard
she
was
gone
,
and
Mrs.
Brent
furious
with
him
for
being
furious
;
Lieutenant
Spooney
was
cut
to
the
heart
;
and
the
landlord
got
ready
his
best
apartments
previous
to
the
return
of
the
fascinating
little
woman
and
her
husband
.
He
serred
the
trunks
which
she
left
in
his
charge
with
the
greatest
care
.
They
had
been
especially
recommended
to
him
by
Madame
Crawley
.
They
were
not
,
however
,
found
to
be
particularly
valuable
when
opened
some
time
after
.
But
before
she
went
to
join
her
husband
in
the
Belgic
capital
,
Mrs.
Crawley
made
an
expedition
into
England
,
leaving
behind
her
her
little
son
upon
the
continent
,
under
the
care
of
her
French
maid
.
The
parting
between
Rebecca
and
the
little
Rawdon
did
not
cause
either
party
much
pain
.
She
had
not
,
to
say
truth
,
seen
much
of
the
young
gentleman
since
his
birth
.
After
the
amiable
fashion
of
French
mothers
,
she
had
placed
him
out
at
nurse
in
a
village
in
the
neighbourhood
of
Paris
,
where
little
Rawdon
passed
the
first
months
of
his
life
,
not
unhappily
,
with
a
numerous
family
of
foster-brothers
in
wooden
shoes
.
His
father
would
ride
over
many
a
time
to
see
him
here
,
and
the
elder
Rawdon
's
paternal
heart
glowed
to
see
him
rosy
and
dirty
,
shouting
lustily
,
and
happy
in
the
making
of
mud-pies
under
the
superintendence
of
the
gardener
's
wife
,
his
nurse
.
Rebecca
did
not
care
much
to
go
and
see
the
son
and
heir
.
Once
he
spoiled
a
new
dove-coloured
pelisse
of
hers
.
He
preferred
his
nurse
's
caresses
to
his
mamma
's
,
and
when
finally
he
quitted
that
jolly
nurse
and
almost
parent
,
he
cried
loudly
for
hours
.
He
was
only
consoled
by
his
mother
's
promise
that
he
should
return
to
his
nurse
the
next
day
;
indeed
the
nurse
herself
,
who
probably
would
have
been
pained
at
the
parting
too
,
was
told
that
the
child
would
immediately
be
restored
to
her
,
and
for
some
time
awaited
quite
anxiously
his
return
.
In
fact
,
our
friends
may
be
said
to
have
been
among
the
first
of
that
brood
of
hardy
English
adventurers
who
have
subsequently
invaded
the
Continent
and
swindled
in
all
the
capitals
of
Europe
.
The
respect
in
those
happy
days
of
1817-18
was
very
great
for
the
wealth
and
honour
of
Britons
.
They
had
not
then
learned
,
as
I
am
told
,
to
haggle
for
bargains
with
the
pertinacity
which
now
distinguishes
them
.
The
great
cities
of
Europe
had
not
been
as
yet
open
to
the
enterprise
of
our
rascals
.
And
whereas
there
is
now
hardly
a
town
of
France
or
Italy
in
which
you
shall
not
see
some
noble
countryman
of
our
own
,
with
that
happy
swagger
and
insolence
of
demeanour
which
we
carry
everywhere
,
swindling
inn-landlords
,
passing
fictitious
cheques
upon
credulous
bankers
,
robbing
coach-makers
of
their
carriages
,
goldsmiths
of
their
trinkets
,
easy
travellers
of
their
money
at
cards
,
even
public
libraries
of
their
books
--
thirty
years
ago
you
needed
but
to
be
a
Milor
Anglais
,
travelling
in
a
private
carriage
,
and
credit
was
at
your
hand
wherever
you
chose
to
seek
it
,
and
gentlemen
,
instead
of
cheating
,
were
cheated
.
It
was
not
for
some
weeks
after
the
Crawleys
'
departure
that
the
landlord
of
the
hotel
which
they
occupied
during
their
residence
at
Paris
found
out
the
losses
which
he
had
sustained
:
not
until
Madame
Marabou
,
the
milliner
,
made
repeated
visits
with
her
little
bill
for
articles
supplied
to
Madame
Crawley
;
not
until
Monsieur
Didelot
from
Boule
d'Or
in
the
Palais
Royal
had
asked
half
a
dozen
times
whether
cette
charmante
Miladi
who
had
bought
watches
and
bracelets
of
him
was
de
retour
.
It
is
a
fact
that
even
the
poor
gardener
's
wife
,
who
had
nursed
madame
's
child
,
was
never
paid
after
the
first
six
months
for
that
supply
of
the
milk
of
human
kindness
with
which
she
had
furnished
the
lusty
and
healthy
little
Rawdon
.
No
,
not
even
the
nurse
was
paid
--
the
Crawleys
were
in
too
great
a
hurry
to
remember
their
trifling
debt
to
her
.
As
for
the
landlord
of
the
hotel
,
his
curses
against
the
English
nation
were
violent
for
the
rest
of
his
natural
life
.
He
asked
all
travellers
whether
they
knew
a
certain
Colonel
Lor
Crawley
--
avec
sa
femme
une
petite
dame
,
tres
spirituelle
.
"
Ah
,
Monsieur
!
"
he
would
add
--
"
ils
m
'
ont
affreusement
vole
.
"
It
was
melancholy
to
hear
his
accents
as
he
spoke
of
that
catastrophe
.
Rebecca
's
object
in
her
journey
to
London
was
to
effect
a
kind
of
compromise
with
her
husband
's
numerous
creditors
,
and
by
offering
them
a
dividend
of
ninepence
or
a
shilling
in
the
pound
,
to
secure
a
return
for
him
into
his
own
country
.
It
does
not
become
us
to
trace
the
steps
which
she
took
in
the
conduct
of
this
most
difficult
negotiation
;
but
,
having
shown
them
to
their
satisfaction
that
the
sum
which
she
was
empowered
to
offer
was
all
her
husband
's
available
capital
,
and
having
convinced
them
that
Colonel
Crawley
would
prefer
a
perpetual
retirement
on
the
Continent
to
a
residence
in
this
country
with
his
debts
unsettled
;
having
proved
to
them
that
there
was
no
possibility
of
money
accruing
to
him
from
other
quarters
,
and
no
earthly
chance
of
their
getting
a
larger
dividend
than
that
which
she
was
empowered
to
offer
,
she
brought
the
Colonel
's
creditors
unanimously
to
accept
her
proposals
,
and
purchased
with
fifteen
hundred
pounds
of
ready
money
more
than
ten
times
that
amount
of
debts
.
