Becky
made
a
caricature
of
his
figure
,
which
she
showed
to
Lord
Steyne
when
he
arrived
.
His
lordship
carried
off
the
sketch
,
delighted
with
the
accuracy
of
the
resemblance
.
He
had
done
Sir
Pitt
Crawley
the
honour
to
meet
him
at
Mrs.
Becky
's
house
and
had
been
most
gracious
to
the
new
Baronet
and
member
.
Pitt
was
struck
too
by
the
deference
with
which
the
great
Peer
treated
his
sister-in-law
,
by
her
ease
and
sprightliness
in
the
conversation
,
and
by
the
delight
with
which
the
other
men
of
the
party
listened
to
her
talk
.
Lord
Steyne
made
no
doubt
but
that
the
Baronet
had
only
commenced
his
career
in
public
life
,
and
expected
rather
anxiously
to
hear
him
as
an
orator
;
as
they
were
neighbours
(
for
Great
Gaunt
Street
leads
into
Gaunt
Square
,
whereof
Gaunt
House
,
as
everybody
knows
,
forms
one
side
)
my
lord
hoped
that
as
soon
as
Lady
Steyne
arrived
in
London
she
would
have
the
honour
of
making
the
acquaintance
of
Lady
Crawley
.
He
left
a
card
upon
his
neighbour
in
the
course
of
a
day
or
two
,
having
never
thought
fit
to
notice
his
predecessor
,
though
they
had
lived
near
each
other
for
near
a
century
past
.
In
the
midst
of
these
intrigues
and
fine
parties
and
wise
and
brilliant
personages
Rawdon
felt
himself
more
and
more
isolated
every
day
.
He
was
allowed
to
go
to
the
club
more
;
to
dine
abroad
with
bachelor
friends
;
to
come
and
go
when
he
liked
,
without
any
questions
being
asked
And
he
and
Rawdon
the
younger
many
a
time
would
walk
to
Gaunt
Street
and
sit
with
the
lady
and
the
children
there
while
Sir
Pitt
was
closeted
with
Rebecca
,
on
his
way
to
the
House
,
or
on
his
return
from
it
.
The
ex-Colonel
would
sit
for
hours
in
his
brother
's
house
very
silent
,
and
thinking
and
doing
as
little
as
possible
.
He
was
glad
to
be
employed
of
an
errand
;
to
go
and
make
inquiries
about
a
horse
or
a
servant
,
or
to
carve
the
roast
mutton
for
the
dinner
of
the
children
.
He
was
beat
and
cowed
into
laziness
and
submission
.
Delilah
had
imprisoned
him
and
cut
his
hair
off
,
too
.
The
bold
and
reckless
young
blood
of
ten-years
back
was
subjugated
and
was
turned
into
a
torpid
,
submissive
,
middle-aged
,
stout
gentleman
.
And
poor
Lady
Jane
was
aware
that
Rebecca
had
captivated
her
husband
,
although
she
and
Mrs.
Rawdon
my-deared
and
my-loved
each
other
every
day
they
met
.
Our
friends
at
Brompton
were
meanwhile
passing
their
Christmas
after
their
fashion
and
in
a
manner
by
no
means
too
cheerful
.
Out
of
the
hundred
pounds
a
year
,
which
was
about
the
amount
of
her
income
,
the
Widow
Osborne
had
been
in
the
habit
of
giving
up
nearly
three-fourths
to
her
father
and
mother
,
for
the
expenses
of
herself
and
her
little
boy
.
With
#
120
more
,
supplied
by
Jos
,
this
family
of
four
people
,
attended
by
a
single
Irish
servant
who
also
did
for
Clapp
and
his
wife
,
might
manage
to
live
in
decent
comfort
through
the
year
,
and
hold
up
their
heads
yet
,
and
be
able
to
give
a
friend
a
dish
of
tea
still
,
after
the
storms
and
disappointments
of
their
early
life
.
Sedley
still
maintained
his
ascendency
over
the
family
of
Mr.
Clapp
,
his
ex-clerk
.
Clapp
remembered
the
time
when
,
sitting
on
the
edge
of
the
chair
,
he
tossed
off
a
bumper
to
the
health
of
"
Mrs.
S
--
Miss
Emmy
,
and
Mr.
Joseph
in
India
,
"
at
the
merchant
's
rich
table
in
Russell
Square
.
Time
magnified
the
splendour
of
those
recollections
in
the
honest
clerk
's
bosom
.
Whenever
he
came
up
from
the
kitchen-parlour
to
the
drawing-room
and
partook
of
tea
or
gin-and-water
with
Mr.
Sedley
,
he
would
say
,
"
This
was
not
what
you
was
accustomed
to
once
,
sir
,
"
and
as
gravely
and
reverentially
drink
the
health
of
the
ladies
as
he
had
done
in
the
days
of
their
utmost
prosperity
.
He
thought
Miss
'
Melia
's
playing
the
divinest
music
ever
performed
,
and
her
the
finest
lady
.
He
never
would
sit
down
before
Sedley
at
the
club
even
,
nor
would
he
have
that
gentleman
's
character
abused
by
any
member
of
the
society
.
He
had
seen
the
first
men
in
London
shaking
hands
with
Mr.
S
--
;
he
said
,
"
He
'd
known
him
in
times
when
Rothschild
might
be
seen
on
'
Change
with
him
any
day
,
and
he
owed
him
personally
everythink
.
"
Clapp
,
with
the
best
of
characters
and
handwritings
,
had
been
able
very
soon
after
his
master
's
disaster
to
find
other
employment
for
himself
.
"
Such
a
little
fish
as
me
can
swim
in
any
bucket
,
"
he
used
to
remark
,
and
a
member
of
the
house
from
which
old
Sedley
had
seceded
was
very
glad
to
make
use
of
Mr.
Clapp
's
services
and
to
reward
them
with
a
comfortable
salary
.
In
fine
,
all
Sedley
's
wealthy
friends
had
dropped
off
one
by
one
,
and
this
poor
ex-dependent
still
remained
faithfully
attached
to
him
.
Out
of
the
small
residue
of
her
income
which
Amelia
kept
back
for
herself
,
the
widow
had
need
of
all
the
thrift
and
care
possible
in
order
to
enable
her
to
keep
her
darling
boy
dressed
in
such
a
manner
as
became
George
Osborne
's
son
,
and
to
defray
the
expenses
of
the
little
school
to
which
,
after
much
misgiving
and
reluctance
and
many
secret
pangs
and
fears
on
her
own
part
,
she
had
been
induced
to
send
the
lad
.
She
had
sat
up
of
nights
conning
lessons
and
spelling
over
crabbed
grammars
and
geography
books
in
order
to
teach
them
to
Georgy
.
She
had
worked
even
at
the
Latin
accidence
,
fondly
hoping
that
she
might
be
capable
of
instructing
him
in
that
language
.
