Osborne
got
some
hint
of
the
transaction
,
came
back
from
the
City
abruptly
,
and
entered
the
drawing-room
with
his
bamboo
cane
;
found
the
painter
,
the
pupil
,
and
the
companion
all
looking
exceedingly
pale
there
;
turned
the
former
out
of
doors
with
menaces
that
he
would
break
every
bone
in
his
skin
,
and
half
an
hour
afterwards
dismissed
Miss
Wirt
likewise
,
kicking
her
trunks
down
the
stairs
,
trampling
on
her
bandboxes
,
and
shaking
his
fist
at
her
hackney
coach
as
it
bore
her
away
.
Jane
Osborne
kept
her
bedroom
for
many
days
.
She
was
not
allowed
to
have
a
companion
afterwards
.
Her
father
swore
to
her
that
she
should
not
have
a
shilling
of
his
money
if
she
made
any
match
without
his
concurrence
;
and
as
he
wanted
a
woman
to
keep
his
house
,
he
did
not
choose
that
she
should
marry
,
so
that
she
was
obliged
to
give
up
all
projects
with
which
Cupid
had
any
share
.
During
her
papa
's
life
,
then
,
she
resigned
herself
to
the
manner
of
existence
here
described
,
and
was
content
to
be
an
old
maid
.
Her
sister
,
meanwhile
,
was
having
children
with
finer
names
every
year
and
the
intercourse
between
the
two
grew
fainter
continually
.
"
Jane
and
I
do
not
move
in
the
same
sphere
of
life
,
"
Mrs.
Bullock
said
.
"
I
regard
her
as
a
sister
,
of
course
"
--
which
means
--
what
does
it
mean
when
a
lady
says
that
she
regards
Jane
as
a
sister
?
It
has
been
described
how
the
Misses
Dobbin
lived
with
their
father
at
a
fine
villa
at
Denmark
Hill
,
where
there
were
beautiful
graperies
and
peach-trees
which
delighted
little
Georgy
Osborne
.
The
Misses
Dobbin
,
who
drove
often
to
Brompton
to
see
our
dear
Amelia
,
came
sometimes
to
Russell
Square
too
,
to
pay
a
visit
to
their
old
acquaintance
Miss
Osborne
.
I
believe
it
was
in
consequence
of
the
commands
of
their
brother
the
Major
in
India
(
for
whom
their
papa
had
a
prodigious
respect
)
,
that
they
paid
attention
to
Mrs.
George
;
for
the
Major
,
the
godfather
and
guardian
of
Amelia
's
little
boy
,
still
hoped
that
the
child
's
grandfather
might
be
induced
to
relent
towards
him
and
acknowledge
him
for
the
sake
of
his
son
.
The
Misses
Dobbin
kept
Miss
Osborne
acquainted
with
the
state
of
Amelia
's
affairs
;
how
she
was
living
with
her
father
and
mother
;
how
poor
they
were
;
how
they
wondered
what
men
,
and
such
men
as
their
brother
and
dear
Captain
Osborne
,
could
find
in
such
an
insignificant
little
chit
;
how
she
was
still
,
as
heretofore
,
a
namby-pamby
milk-and-water
affected
creature
--
but
how
the
boy
was
really
the
noblest
little
boy
ever
seen
--
for
the
hearts
of
all
women
warm
towards
young
children
,
and
the
sourest
spinster
is
kind
to
them
.
One
day
,
after
great
entreaties
on
the
part
of
the
Misses
Dobbin
,
Amelia
allowed
little
George
to
go
and
pass
a
day
with
them
at
Denmark
Hill
--
a
part
of
which
day
she
spent
herself
in
writing
to
the
Major
in
India
.
She
congratulated
him
on
the
happy
news
which
his
sisters
had
just
conveyed
to
her
.
She
prayed
for
his
prosperity
and
that
of
the
bride
he
had
chosen
.
She
thanked
him
for
a
thousand
thousand
kind
offices
and
proofs
of
stead
fast
friendship
to
her
in
her
affliction
.
She
told
him
the
last
news
about
little
Georgy
,
and
how
he
was
gone
to
spend
that
very
day
with
his
sisters
in
the
country
.
She
underlined
the
letter
a
great
deal
,
and
she
signed
herself
affectionately
his
friend
,
Amelia
Osborne
.
She
forgot
to
send
any
message
of
kindness
to
Lady
O'Dowd
,
as
her
wont
was
--
and
did
not
mention
Glorvina
by
name
,
and
only
in
italics
,
as
the
Major
's
BRIDE
,
for
whom
she
begged
blessings
.
But
the
news
of
the
marriage
removed
the
reserve
which
she
had
kept
up
towards
him
.
She
was
glad
to
be
able
to
own
and
feel
how
warmly
and
gratefully
she
regarded
him
--
and
as
for
the
idea
of
being
jealous
of
Glorvina
(
Glorvina
,
indeed
!
)
,
Amelia
would
have
scouted
it
,
if
an
angel
from
heaven
had
hinted
it
to
her
.
That
night
,
when
Georgy
came
back
in
the
pony-carriage
in
which
he
rejoiced
,
and
in
which
he
was
driven
by
Sir
Wm.
Dobbin
's
old
coachman
,
he
had
round
his
neck
a
fine
gold
chain
and
watch
.
He
said
an
old
lady
,
not
pretty
,
had
given
it
him
,
who
cried
and
kissed
him
a
great
deal
.
But
he
did
n't
like
her
.
He
liked
grapes
very
much
.
And
he
only
liked
his
mamma
.
Amelia
shrank
and
started
;
the
timid
soul
felt
a
presentiment
of
terror
when
she
heard
that
the
relations
of
the
child
's
father
had
seen
him
.
Miss
Osborne
came
back
to
give
her
father
his
dinner
.
He
had
made
a
good
speculation
in
the
City
,
and
was
rather
in
a
good
humour
that
day
,
and
chanced
to
remark
the
agitation
under
which
she
laboured
.
"
What
's
the
matter
,
Miss
Osborne
?
"
he
deigned
to
say
.
The
woman
burst
into
tears
"
Oh
,
sir
,
"
she
said
,
"
I
've
seen
little
George
.
He
is
as
beautiful
as
an
angel
--
and
so
like
him
!
"
The
old
man
opposite
to
her
did
not
say
a
word
,
but
flushed
up
and
began
to
tremble
in
every
limb
.
The
astonished
reader
must
be
called
upon
to
transport
himself
ten
thousand
miles
to
the
military
station
of
Bundlegunge
,
in
the
Madras
division
of
our
Indian
empire
,
where
our
gallant
old
friends
of
the
--
th
regiment
are
quartered
under
the
command
of
the
brave
Colonel
,
Sir
Michael
O'Dowd
.
Time
has
dealt
kindly
with
that
stout
officer
,
as
it
does
ordinarily
with
men
who
have
good
stomachs
and
good
tempers
and
are
not
perplexed
over
much
by
fatigue
of
the
brain
.
The
Colonel
plays
a
good
knife
and
fork
at
tiffin
and
resumes
those
weapons
with
great
success
at
dinner
.
He
smokes
his
hookah
after
both
meals
and
puffs
as
quietly
while
his
wife
scolds
him
as
he
did
under
the
fire
of
the
French
at
Waterloo
.
Age
and
heat
have
not
diminished
the
activity
or
the
eloquence
of
the
descendant
of
the
Malonys
and
the
Molloys
.
Her
Ladyship
,
our
old
acquaintance
,
is
as
much
at
home
at
Madras
as
at
Brussels
in
the
cantonment
as
under
the
tents
.
On
the
march
you
saw
her
at
the
head
of
the
regiment
seated
on
a
royal
elephant
,
a
noble
sight
.
Mounted
on
that
beast
,
she
has
been
into
action
with
tigers
in
the
jungle
,
she
has
been
received
by
native
princes
,
who
have
welcomed
her
and
Glorvina
into
the
recesses
of
their
zenanas
and
offered
her
shawls
and
jewels
which
it
went
to
her
heart
to
refuse
.
The
sentries
of
all
arms
salute
her
wherever
she
makes
her
appearance
,
and
she
touches
her
hat
gravely
to
their
salutation
.
