He
died
the
death
of
a
hero
,
sir
,
fighting
against
the
Corsican
tyrant
.
"
Colonel
Crawley
blushed
quite
red
.
"
I
knew
him
very
well
,
sir
,
"
he
said
,
"
and
his
wife
,
his
dear
little
wife
,
sir
--
how
is
she
?
"
"
She
is
my
daughter
,
sir
,
"
said
the
old
gentleman
,
putting
down
the
boy
and
taking
out
a
card
with
great
solemnity
,
which
he
handed
to
the
Colonel
.
On
it
written
--
"
Mr.
Sedley
,
Sole
Agent
for
the
Black
Diamond
and
Anti-Cinder
Coal
Association
,
Bunker
's
Wharf
,
Thames
Street
,
and
Anna-Maria
Cottages
,
Fulham
Road
West
.
"
Little
Georgy
went
up
and
looked
at
the
Shetland
pony
.
"
Should
you
like
to
have
a
ride
?
"
said
Rawdon
minor
from
the
saddle
.
"
Yes
,
"
said
Georgy
.
The
Colonel
,
who
had
been
looking
at
him
with
some
interest
,
took
up
the
child
and
put
him
on
the
pony
behind
Rawdon
minor
.
"
Take
hold
of
him
,
Georgy
,
"
he
said
--
"
take
my
little
boy
round
the
waist
--
his
name
is
Rawdon
.
"
And
both
the
children
began
to
laugh
.
"
You
wo
n't
see
a
prettier
pair
I
think
,
THIS
summer
's
day
,
sir
,
"
said
the
good-natured
Corporal
;
and
the
Colonel
,
the
Corporal
,
and
old
Mr.
Sedley
with
his
umbrella
,
walked
by
the
side
of
the
children
.
We
must
suppose
little
George
Osborne
has
ridden
from
Knightsbridge
towards
Fulham
,
and
will
stop
and
make
inquiries
at
that
village
regarding
some
friends
whom
we
have
left
there
.
How
is
Mrs.
Amelia
after
the
storm
of
Waterloo
?
Is
she
living
and
thriving
?
What
has
come
of
Major
Dobbin
,
whose
cab
was
always
hankering
about
her
premises
?
And
is
there
any
news
of
the
Collector
of
Boggley
Wollah
?
The
facts
concerning
the
latter
are
briefly
these
:
Our
worthy
fat
friend
Joseph
Sedley
returned
to
India
not
long
after
his
escape
from
Brussels
.
Either
his
furlough
was
up
,
or
he
dreaded
to
meet
any
witnesses
of
his
Waterloo
flight
.
However
it
might
be
,
he
went
back
to
his
duties
in
Bengal
very
soon
after
Napoleon
had
taken
up
his
residence
at
St.
Helena
,
where
Jos
saw
the
ex-Emperor
.
To
hear
Mr.
Sedley
talk
on
board
ship
you
would
have
supposed
that
it
was
not
the
first
time
he
and
the
Corsican
had
met
,
and
that
the
civilian
had
bearded
the
French
General
at
Mount
St.
John
.
He
had
a
thousand
anecdotes
about
the
famous
battles
;
he
knew
the
position
of
every
regiment
and
the
loss
which
each
had
incurred
.
He
did
not
deny
that
he
had
been
concerned
in
those
victories
--
that
he
had
been
with
the
army
and
carried
despatches
for
the
Duke
of
Wellington
.
