I
do
n't
know
on
what
pretext
Osborne
left
the
room
,
or
why
,
presently
,
Amelia
went
away
,
perhaps
to
superintend
the
slicing
of
the
pine-apple
;
but
Jos
was
left
alone
with
Rebecca
,
who
had
resumed
her
work
,
and
the
green
silk
and
the
shining
needles
were
quivering
rapidly
under
her
white
slender
fingers
.
"
What
a
beautiful
,
BYOO-OOTIFUL
song
that
was
you
sang
last
night
,
dear
Miss
Sharp
,
"
said
the
Collector
.
"
It
made
me
cry
almost
;
'
pon
my
honour
it
did
.
"
"
Because
you
have
a
kind
heart
,
Mr.
Joseph
;
all
the
Sedleys
have
,
I
think
.
"
"
It
kept
me
awake
last
night
,
and
I
was
trying
to
hum
it
this
morning
,
in
bed
;
I
was
,
upon
my
honour
.
Gollop
,
my
doctor
,
came
in
at
eleven
(
for
I
'm
a
sad
invalid
,
you
know
,
and
see
Gollop
every
day
)
,
and
,
'
gad
!
there
I
was
,
singing
away
like
--
a
robin
.
"
"
O
you
droll
creature
!
Do
let
me
hear
you
sing
it
.
"
"
Me
?
No
,
you
,
Miss
Sharp
;
my
dear
Miss
Sharp
,
do
sing
it
.
"
"
Not
now
,
Mr.
Sedley
,
"
said
Rebecca
,
with
a
sigh
.
"
My
spirits
are
not
equal
to
it
;
besides
,
I
must
finish
the
purse
.
Will
you
help
me
,
Mr.
Sedley
?
"
And
before
he
had
time
to
ask
how
,
Mr.
Joseph
Sedley
,
of
the
East
India
Company
's
service
,
was
actually
seated
tete-a-tete
with
a
young
lady
,
looking
at
her
with
a
most
killing
expression
;
his
arms
stretched
out
before
her
in
an
imploring
attitude
,
and
his
hands
bound
in
a
web
of
green
silk
,
which
she
was
unwinding
In
this
romantic
position
Osborne
and
Amelia
found
the
interesting
pair
,
when
they
entered
to
announce
that
tiffin
was
ready
.
The
skein
of
silk
was
just
wound
round
the
card
;
but
Mr.
Jos
had
never
spoken
.
"
I
am
sure
he
will
to-night
,
dear
,
"
Amelia
said
,
as
she
pressed
Rebecca
's
hand
;
and
Sedley
,
too
,
had
communed
with
his
soul
,
and
said
to
himself
,
"
'
Gad
,
I
'll
pop
the
question
at
Vauxhall
.
"
Cuff
's
fight
with
Dobbin
,
and
the
unexpected
issue
of
that
contest
,
will
long
be
remembered
by
every
man
who
was
educated
at
Dr.
Swishtail
's
famous
school
.
The
latter
Youth
(
who
used
to
be
called
Heigh-ho
Dobbin
,
Gee-ho
Dobbin
,
and
by
many
other
names
indicative
of
puerile
contempt
)
was
the
quietest
,
the
clumsiest
,
and
,
as
it
seemed
,
the
dullest
of
all
Dr.
Swishtail
's
young
gentlemen
.
His
parent
was
a
grocer
in
the
city
:
and
it
was
bruited
abroad
that
he
was
admitted
into
Dr.
Swishtail
's
academy
upon
what
are
called
"
mutual
principles
"
--
that
is
to
say
,
the
expenses
of
his
board
and
schooling
were
defrayed
by
his
father
in
goods
,
not
money
;
and
he
stood
there
--
most
at
the
bottom
of
the
school
--
in
his
scraggy
corduroys
and
jacket
,
through
the
seams
of
which
his
great
big
bones
were
bursting
--
as
the
representative
of
so
many
pounds
of
tea
,
candles
,
sugar
,
mottled-soap
,
plums
(
of
which
a
very
mild
proportion
was
supplied
for
the
puddings
of
the
establishment
)
,
and
other
commodities
.
A
dreadful
day
it
was
for
young
Dobbin
when
one
of
the
youngsters
of
the
school
,
having
run
into
the
town
upon
a
poaching
excursion
for
hardbake
and
polonies
,
espied
the
cart
of
Dobbin
&
Rudge
,
Grocers
and
Oilmen
,
Thames
Street
,
London
,
at
the
Doctor
's
door
,
discharging
a
cargo
of
the
wares
in
which
the
firm
dealt
.
Young
Dobbin
had
no
peace
after
that
.
The
jokes
were
frightful
,
and
merciless
against
him
.
"
Hullo
,
Dobbin
,
"
one
wag
would
say
,
"
here
's
good
news
in
the
paper
.
Sugars

boy
