You
want
to
distinguish
yourself
in
Parliament
;
every
one
says
you
are
the
finest
speaker
in
England
(
for
your
speeches
at
Oxford
are
still
remembered
)
.
You
want
to
be
Member
for
the
County
,
where
,
with
your
own
vote
and
your
borough
at
your
back
,
you
can
command
anything
.
And
you
want
to
be
Baron
Crawley
of
Queen
's
Crawley
,
and
will
be
before
you
die
.
I
saw
it
all
.
I
could
read
your
heart
,
Sir
Pitt
.
If
I
had
a
husband
who
possessed
your
intellect
as
he
does
your
name
,
I
sometimes
think
I
should
not
be
unworthy
of
him
--
but
--
but
I
am
your
kinswoman
now
,
"
she
added
with
a
laugh
.
"
Poor
little
penniless
,
I
have
got
a
little
interest
--
and
who
knows
,
perhaps
the
mouse
may
be
able
to
aid
the
lion
.
"
Pitt
Crawley
was
amazed
and
enraptured
with
her
speech
.
"
How
that
woman
comprehends
me
!
"
he
said
.
"
I
never
could
get
Jane
to
read
three
pages
of
the
malt
pamphlet
.
She
has
no
idea
that
I
have
commanding
talents
or
secret
ambition
.
So
they
remember
my
speaking
at
Oxford
,
do
they
?
The
rascals
!
Now
that
I
represent
my
borough
and
may
sit
for
the
county
,
they
begin
to
recollect
me
!
Why
,
Lord
Steyne
cut
me
at
the
levee
last
year
;
they
are
beginning
to
find
out
that
Pitt
Crawley
is
some
one
at
last
.
Yes
,
the
man
was
always
the
same
whom
these
people
neglected
:
it
was
only
the
opportunity
that
was
wanting
,
and
I
will
show
them
now
that
I
can
speak
and
act
as
well
as
write
.
Achilles
did
not
declare
himself
until
they
gave
him
the
sword
.
I
hold
it
now
,
and
the
world
shall
yet
hear
of
Pitt
Crawley
.
"
Therefore
it
was
that
this
roguish
diplomatist
has
grown
so
hospitable
;
that
he
was
so
civil
to
oratorios
and
hospitals
;
so
kind
to
Deans
and
Chapters
;
so
generous
in
giving
and
accepting
dinners
;
so
uncommonly
gracious
to
farmers
on
market-days
;
and
so
much
interested
about
county
business
;
and
that
the
Christmas
at
the
Hall
was
the
gayest
which
had
been
known
there
for
many
a
long
day
.
On
Christmas
Day
a
great
family
gathering
took
place
.
All
the
Crawleys
from
the
Rectory
came
to
dine
.
Rebecca
was
as
frank
and
fond
of
Mrs.
Bute
as
if
the
other
had
never
been
her
enemy
;
she
was
affectionately
interested
in
the
dear
girls
,
and
surprised
at
the
progress
which
they
had
made
in
music
since
her
time
,
and
insisted
upon
encoring
one
of
the
duets
out
of
the
great
song-books
which
Jim
,
grumbling
,
had
been
forced
to
bring
under
his
arm
from
the
Rectory
.
Mrs.
Bute
,
perforce
,
was
obliged
to
adopt
a
decent
demeanour
towards
the
little
adventuress
--
of
course
being
free
to
discourse
with
her
daughters
afterwards
about
the
absurd
respect
with
which
Sir
Pitt
treated
his
sister-in-law
.
But
Jim
,
who
had
sat
next
to
her
at
dinner
,
declared
she
was
a
trump
,
and
one
and
all
of
the
Rector
's
family
agreed
that
the
little
Rawdon
was
a
fine
boy
.
They
respected
a
possible
baronet
in
the
boy
,
between
whom
and
the
title
there
was
only
the
little
sickly
pale
Pitt
Binkie
.
The
children
were
very
good
friends
.
Pitt
Binkie
was
too
little
a
dog
for
such
a
big
dog
as
Rawdon
to
play
with
;
and
Matilda
being
only
a
girl
,
of
course
not
fit
companion
for
a
young
gentleman
who
was
near
eight
years
old
,
and
going
into
jackets
very
soon
.
He
took
the
command
of
this
small
party
at
once
--
the
little
girl
and
the
little
boy
following
him
about
with
great
reverence
at
such
times
as
he
condescended
to
sport
with
them
.
His
happiness
and
pleasure
in
the
country
were
extreme
.
The
kitchen
garden
pleased
him
hugely
,
the
flowers
moderately
,
but
the
pigeons
and
the
poultry
,
and
the
stables
when
he
was
allowed
to
visit
them
,
were
delightful
objects
to
him
.
He
resisted
being
kissed
by
the
Misses
Crawley
,
but
he
allowed
Lady
Jane
sometimes
to
embrace
him
,
and
it
was
by
her
side
that
he
liked
to
sit
when
,
the
signal
to
retire
to
the
drawing-room
being
given
,
the
ladies
left
the
gentlemen
to
their
claret
--
by
her
side
rather
than
by
his
mother
.
For
Rebecca
,
seeing
that
tenderness
was
the
fashion
,
called
Rawdon
to
her
one
evening
and
stooped
down
and
kissed
him
in
the
presence
of
all
the
ladies
.
He
looked
her
full
in
the
face
after
the
operation
,
trembling
and
turning
very
red
,
as
his
wont
was
when
moved
.
"
You
never
kiss
me
at
home
,
Mamma
,
"
he
said
,
at
which
there
was
a
general
silence
and
consternation
and
a
by
no
means
pleasant
look
in
Becky
's
eyes
.
Rawdon
was
fond
of
his
sister-in-law
,
for
her
regard
for
his
son
.
Lady
Jane
and
Becky
did
not
get
on
quite
so
well
at
this
visit
as
on
occasion
of
the
former
one
,
when
the
Colonel
's
wife
was
bent
upon
pleasing
.
Those
two
speeches
of
the
child
struck
rather
a
chill
.
Perhaps
Sir
Pitt
was
rather
too
attentive
to
her
.
But
Rawdon
,
as
became
his
age
and
size
,
was
fonder
of
the
society
of
the
men
than
of
the
women
,
and
never
wearied
of
accompanying
his
sire
to
the
stables
,
whither
the
Colonel
retired
to
smoke
his
cigar
--
Jim
,
the
Rector
's
son
,
sometimes
joining
his
cousin
in
that
and
other
amusements
.
He
and
the
Baronet
's
keeper
were
very
close
friends
,
their
mutual
taste
for
"
dawgs
"
bringing
them
much
together
.
On
one
day
,
Mr.
James
,
the
Colonel
,
and
Horn
,
the
keeper
,
went
and
shot
pheasants
,
taking
little
Rawdon
with
them
.
On
another
most
blissful
morning
,
these
four
gentlemen
partook
of
the
amusement
of
rat-hunting
in
a
barn
,
than
which
sport
Rawdon
as
yet
had
never
seen
anything
more
noble
.
They
stopped
up
the
ends
of
certain
drains
in
the
barn
,
into
the
other
openings
of
which
ferrets
were
inserted
,
and
then
stood
silently
aloof
,
with
uplifted
stakes
in
their
hands
,
and
an
anxious
little
terrier
(
Mr.
James
's
celebrated
"
dawg
"
Forceps
,
indeed
)
scarcely
breathing
from
excitement
,
listening
motionless
on
three
legs
,
to
the
faint
squeaking
of
the
rats
below
.
Desperately
bold
at
last
,
the
persecuted
animals
bolted
above-ground
--
the
terrier
accounted
for
one
,
the
keeper
for
another
;
Rawdon
,
from
flurry
and
excitement
,
missed
his
rat
,
but
on
the
other
hand
he
half-murdered
a
ferret
.
