Go
and
order
another
like
it
,
or
a
better
if
you
can
get
it
,
"
said
the
old
gentleman
and
lapsed
again
into
silence
.
Of
late
the
Misses
Dobbin
more
than
once
repeated
their
entreaties
to
Amelia
,
to
allow
George
to
visit
them
.
His
aunt
had
shown
her
inclination
;
perhaps
his
grandfather
himself
,
they
hinted
,
might
be
disposed
to
be
reconciled
to
him
.
Surely
,
Amelia
could
not
refuse
such
advantageous
chances
for
the
boy
.
Nor
could
she
,
but
she
acceded
to
their
overtures
with
a
very
heavy
and
suspicious
heart
,
was
always
uneasy
during
the
child
's
absence
from
her
,
and
welcomed
him
back
as
if
he
was
rescued
out
of
some
danger
.
He
brought
back
money
and
toys
,
at
which
the
widow
looked
with
alarm
and
jealousy
;
she
asked
him
always
if
he
had
seen
any
gentleman
--
"
Only
old
Sir
William
,
who
drove
him
about
in
the
four-wheeled
chaise
,
and
Mr.
Dobbin
,
who
arrived
on
the
beautiful
bay
horse
in
the
afternoon
--
in
the
green
coat
and
pink
neck-cloth
,
with
the
gold-headed
whip
,
who
promised
to
show
him
the
Tower
of
London
and
take
him
out
with
the
Surrey
hounds
.
"
At
last
,
he
said
,
"
There
was
an
old
gentleman
,
with
thick
eyebrows
,
and
a
broad
hat
,
and
large
chain
and
seals
.
"
He
came
one
day
as
the
coachman
was
lunging
Georgy
round
the
lawn
on
the
gray
pony
.
"
He
looked
at
me
very
much
.
He
shook
very
much
.
I
said
'
My
name
is
Norval
'
after
dinner
.
My
aunt
began
to
cry
.
She
is
always
crying
.
"
Such
was
George
's
report
on
that
night
.
Then
Amelia
knew
that
the
boy
had
seen
his
grandfather
;
and
looked
out
feverishly
for
a
proposal
which
she
was
sure
would
follow
,
and
which
came
,
in
fact
,
in
a
few
days
afterwards
.
Mr.
Osborne
formally
offered
to
take
the
boy
and
make
him
heir
to
the
fortune
which
he
had
intended
that
his
father
should
inherit
.
He
would
make
Mrs.
George
Osborne
an
allowance
,
such
as
to
assure
her
a
decent
competency
.
If
Mrs.
George
Osborne
proposed
to
marry
again
,
as
Mr.
O.
heard
was
her
intention
,
he
would
not
withdraw
that
allowance
.
But
it
must
be
understood
that
the
child
would
live
entirely
with
his
grandfather
in
Russell
Square
,
or
at
whatever
other
place
Mr.
O.
should
select
,
and
that
he
would
be
occasionally
permitted
to
see
Mrs.
George
Osborne
at
her
own
residence
.
This
message
was
brought
or
read
to
her
in
a
letter
one
day
,
when
her
mother
was
from
home
and
her
father
absent
as
usual
in
the
City
.
She
was
never
seen
angry
but
twice
or
thrice
in
her
life
,
and
it
was
in
one
of
these
moods
that
Mr.
Osborne
's
attorney
had
the
fortune
to
behold
her
.
She
rose
up
trembling
and
flushing
very
much
as
soon
as
,
after
reading
the
letter
,
Mr.
Poe
handed
it
to
her
,
and
she
tore
the
paper
into
a
hundred
fragments
,
which
she
trod
on
.
"
I
marry
again
!
I
take
money
to
part
from
my
child
!
Who
dares
insult
me
by
proposing
such
a
thing
?
Tell
Mr.
Osborne
it
is
a
cowardly
letter
,
sir
--
a
cowardly
letter
--
I
will
not
answer
it
.
I
wish
you
good
morning
,
sir
--
and
she
bowed
me
out
of
the
room
like
a
tragedy
Queen
,
"
said
the
lawyer
who
told
the
story
.
Her
parents
never
remarked
her
agitation
on
that
day
,
and
she
never
told
them
of
the
interview
.
They
had
their
own
affairs
to
interest
them
,
affairs
which
deeply
interested
this
innocent
and
unconscious
lady
.
The
old
gentleman
,
her
father
,
was
always
dabbling
in
speculation
.
We
have
seen
how
the
wine
company
and
the
coal
company
had
failed
him
.
But
,
prowling
about
the
City
always
eagerly
and
restlessly
still
,
he
lighted
upon
some
other
scheme
,
of
which
he
thought
so
well
that
he
embarked
in
it
in
spite
of
the
remonstrances
of
Mr.
Clapp
,
to
whom
indeed
he
never
dared
to
tell
how
far
he
had
engaged
himself
in
it
.
And
as
it
was
always
Mr.
Sedley
's
maxim
not
to
talk
about
money
matters
before
women
,
they
had
no
inkling
of
the
misfortunes
that
were
in
store
for
them
until
the
unhappy
old
gentleman
was
forced
to
make
gradual
confessions
.
The
bills
of
the
little
household
,
which
had
been
settled
weekly
,
first
fell
into
arrear
.
The
remittances
had
not
arrived
from
India
,
Mr.
Sedley
told
his
wife
with
a
disturbed
face
.
As
she
had
paid
her
bills
very
regularly
hitherto
,
one
or
two
of
the
tradesmen
to
whom
the
poor
lady
was
obliged
to
go
round
asking
for
time
were
very
angry
at
a
delay
to
which
they
were
perfectly
used
from
more
irregular
customers
.
Emmy
's
contribution
,
paid
over
cheerfully
without
any
questions
,
kept
the
little
company
in
half-rations
however
.
And
the
first
six
months
passed
away
pretty
easily
,
old
Sedley
still
keeping
up
with
the
notion
that
his
shares
must
rise
and
that
all
would
be
well
.
No
sixty
pounds
,
however
,
came
to
help
the
household
at
the
end
of
the
half
year
,
and
it
fell
deeper
and
deeper
into
trouble
--
Mrs.
Sedley
,
who
was
growing
infirm
and
was
much
shaken
,
remained
silent
or
wept
a
great
deal
with
Mrs.
Clapp
in
the
kitchen
.
The
butcher
was
particularly
surly
,
the
grocer
insolent
:
once
or
twice
little
Georgy
had
grumbled
about
the
dinners
,
and
Amelia
,
who
still
would
have
been
satisfied
with
a
slice
of
bread
for
her
own
dinner
,
could
not
but
perceive
that
her
son
was
neglected
and
purchased
little
things
out
of
her
private
purse
to
keep
the
boy
in
health
.
