Between
Mrs.
Sedley
and
her
daughter
there
was
a
sort
of
coolness
about
this
boy
,
and
a
secret
jealousy
--
for
one
evening
in
George
's
very
early
days
,
Amelia
,
who
had
been
seated
at
work
in
their
little
parlour
scarcely
remarking
that
the
old
lady
had
quitted
the
room
,
ran
upstairs
instinctively
to
the
nursery
at
the
cries
of
the
child
,
who
had
been
asleep
until
that
moment
--
and
there
found
Mrs.
Sedley
in
the
act
of
surreptitiously
administering
Daffy
's
Elixir
to
the
infant
.
Amelia
,
the
gentlest
and
sweetest
of
everyday
mortals
,
when
she
found
this
meddling
with
her
maternal
authority
,
thrilled
and
trembled
all
over
with
anger
.
Her
cheeks
,
ordinarily
pale
,
now
flushed
up
,
until
they
were
as
red
as
they
used
to
be
when
she
was
a
child
of
twelve
years
old
.
She
seized
the
baby
out
of
her
mother
's
arms
and
then
grasped
at
the
bottle
,
leaving
the
old
lady
gaping
at
her
,
furious
,
and
holding
the
guilty
tea-spoon
.
Amelia
flung
the
bottle
crashing
into
the
fire-place
.
"
I
will
NOT
have
baby
poisoned
,
Mamma
,
"
cried
Emmy
,
rocking
the
infant
about
violently
with
both
her
arms
round
him
and
turning
with
flashing
eyes
at
her
mother
.
"
Poisoned
,
Amelia
!
"
said
the
old
lady
;
"
this
language
to
me
?
"
"
He
shall
not
have
any
medicine
but
that
which
Mr.
Pestler
sends
for
hi
n
.
He
told
me
that
Daffy
's
Elixir
was
poison
.
"
"
Very
good
:
you
think
I
'm
a
murderess
then
,
"
replied
Mrs.
Sedley
.
"
This
is
the
language
you
use
to
your
mother
.
I
have
met
with
misfortunes
:
I
have
sunk
low
in
life
:
I
have
kept
my
carriage
,
and
now
walk
on
foot
:
but
I
did
not
know
I
was
a
murderess
before
,
and
thank
you
for
the
NEWS
.
"
"
Mamma
,
"
said
the
poor
girl
,
who
was
always
ready
for
tears
--
"
you
should
n't
be
hard
upon
me
.
I
--
I
did
n't
mean
--
I
mean
,
I
did
not
wish
to
say
you
would
to
any
wrong
to
this
dear
child
,
only
--
"
"
Oh
,
no
,
my
love
--
only
that
I
was
a
murderess
;
in
which
case
I
had
better
go
to
the
Old
Bailey
.
Though
I
did
n't
poison
YOU
,
when
you
were
a
child
,
but
gave
you
the
best
of
education
and
the
most
expensive
masters
money
could
procure
.
Yes
;
I
've
nursed
five
children
and
buried
three
;
and
the
one
I
loved
the
best
of
all
,
and
tended
through
croup
,
and
teething
,
and
measles
,
and
hooping-cough
,
and
brought
up
with
foreign
masters
,
regardless
of
expense
,
and
with
accomplishments
at
Minerva
House
--
which
I
never
had
when
I
was
a
girl
--
when
I
was
too
glad
to
honour
my
father
and
mother
,
that
I
might
live
long
in
the
land
,
and
to
be
useful
,
and
not
to
mope
all
day
in
my
room
and
act
the
fine
lady
--
says
I
'm
a
murderess
.
Ah
,
Mrs.
Osborne
!
may
YOU
never
nourish
a
viper
in
your
bosom
,
that
's
MY
prayer
.
"
"
Mamma
,
Mamma
!
"
cried
the
bewildered
girl
;
and
the
child
in
her
arms
set
up
a
frantic
chorus
of
shouts
.
"
A
murderess
,
indeed
!
Go
down
on
your
knees
and
pray
to
God
to
cleanse
your
wicked
ungrateful
heart
,
Amelia
,
and
may
He
forgive
you
as
I
do
.
"
And
Mrs.
