It
ca
n't
be
true
what
the
girls
at
the
Rectory
said
,
that
her
mother
was
an
opera-dancer
--
"
"
A
person
ca
n't
help
their
birth
,
"
Rosalind
replied
with
great
liberality
.
"
And
I
agree
with
our
brother
,
that
as
she
is
in
the
family
,
of
course
we
are
bound
to
notice
her
.
I
am
sure
Aunt
Bute
need
not
talk
;
she
wants
to
marry
Kate
to
young
Hooper
,
the
wine-merchant
,
and
absolutely
asked
him
to
come
to
the
Rectory
for
orders
.
"
"
I
wonder
whether
Lady
Southdown
will
go
away
,
she
looked
very
glum
upon
Mrs.
Rawdon
,
"
the
other
said
.
"
I
wish
she
would
.
I
wo
n't
read
the
Washerwoman
of
Finchley
Common
,
"
vowed
Violet
;
and
so
saying
,
and
avoiding
a
passage
at
the
end
of
which
a
certain
coffin
was
placed
with
a
couple
of
watchers
,
and
lights
perpetually
burning
in
the
closed
room
,
these
young
women
came
down
to
the
family
dinner
,
for
which
the
bell
rang
as
usual
.
But
before
this
,
Lady
Jane
conducted
Rebecca
to
the
apartments
prepared
for
her
,
which
,
with
the
rest
of
the
house
,
had
assumed
a
very
much
improved
appearance
of
order
and
comfort
during
Pitt
's
regency
,
and
here
beholding
that
Mrs.
Rawdon
's
modest
little
trunks
had
arrived
,
and
were
placed
in
the
bedroom
and
dressing-room
adjoining
,
helped
her
to
take
off
her
neat
black
bonnet
and
cloak
,
and
asked
her
sister-in-law
in
what
more
she
could
be
useful
.
"
What
I
should
like
best
,
"
said
Rebecca
,
"
would
be
to
go
to
the
nursery
and
see
your
dear
little
children
.
"
On
which
the
two
ladies
looked
very
kindly
at
each
other
and
went
to
that
apartment
hand
in
hand
.
Becky
admired
little
Matilda
,
who
was
not
quite
four
years
old
,
as
the
most
charming
little
love
in
the
world
;
and
the
boy
,
a
little
fellow
of
two
years
--
pale
,
heavy-eyed
,
and
large-headed
--
she
pronounced
to
be
a
perfect
prodigy
in
point
of
size
,
intelligence
,
and
beauty
.
"
I
wish
Mamma
would
not
insist
on
giving
him
so
much
medicine
,
"
Lady
Jane
said
with
a
sigh
.
"
I
often
think
we
should
all
be
better
without
it
.
"
And
then
Lady
Jane
and
her
new-found
friend
had
one
of
those
confidential
medical
conversations
about
the
children
,
which
all
mothers
,
and
most
women
,
as
I
am
given
to
understand
,
delight
in
.
Fifty
years
ago
,
and
when
the
present
writer
,
being
an
interesting
little
boy
,
was
ordered
out
of
the
room
with
the
ladies
after
dinner
,
I
remember
quite
well
that
their
talk
was
chiefly
about
their
ailments
;
and
putting
this
question
directly
to
two
or
three
since
,
I
have
always
got
from
them
the
acknowledgement
that
times
are
not
changed
.
Let
my
fair
readers
remark
for
themselves
this
very
evening
when
they
quit
the
dessert-table
and
assemble
to
celebrate
the
drawing-room
mysteries
.
Well
--
in
half
an
hour
Becky
and
Lady
Jane
were
close
and
intimate
friends
--
and
in
the
course
of
the
evening
her
Ladyship
informed
Sir
Pitt
that
she
thought
her
new
sister-in-law
was
a
kind
,
frank
,
unaffected
,
and
affectionate
young
woman
.
And
so
having
easily
won
the
daughter
's
good-will
,
the
indefatigable
little
woman
bent
herself
to
conciliate
the
august
Lady
Southdown
.
As
soon
as
she
found
her
Ladyship
alone
,
Rebecca
attacked
her
on
the
nursery
question
at
once
and
said
that
her
own
little
boy
was
saved
,
actually
saved
,
by
calomel
,
freely
administered
,
when
all
the
physicians
in
Paris
had
given
the
dear
child
up
.
And
then
she
mentioned
how
often
she
had
heard
of
Lady
Southdown
from
that
excellent
man
the
Reverend
Lawrence
Grills
,
Minister
of
the
chapel
in
May
Fair
,
which
she
frequented
;
and
how
her
views
were
very
much
changed
by
circumstances
and
misfortunes
;
and
how
she
hoped
that
a
past
life
spent
in
worldliness
and
error
might
not
incapacitate
her
from
more
serious
thought
for
the
future
.
She
described
how
in
former
days
she
had
been
indebted
to
Mr.
