"
For
Becky
Sharp
,
"
answered
Jemima
,
trembling
very
much
,
and
blushing
over
her
withered
face
and
neck
,
as
she
turned
her
back
on
her
sister
.
"
For
Becky
Sharp
:
she
's
going
too
.
"
"
MISS
JEMIMA
!
"
exclaimed
Miss
Pinkerton
,
in
the
largest
capitals
.
"
Are
you
in
your
senses
?
Replace
the
Dixonary
in
the
closet
,
and
never
venture
to
take
such
a
liberty
in
future
.
"
"
Well
,
sister
,
it
's
only
two-and-ninepence
,
and
poor
Becky
will
be
miserable
if
she
do
n't
get
one
.
"
"
Send
Miss
Sedley
instantly
to
me
,
"
said
Miss
Pinkerton
.
And
so
venturing
not
to
say
another
word
,
poor
Jemima
trotted
off
,
exceedingly
flurried
and
nervous
.
Miss
Sedley
's
papa
was
a
merchant
in
London
,
and
a
man
of
some
wealth
;
whereas
Miss
Sharp
was
an
articled
pupil
,
for
whom
Miss
Pinkerton
had
done
,
as
she
thought
,
quite
enough
,
without
conferring
upon
her
at
parting
the
high
honour
of
the
Dixonary
.
Although
schoolmistresses
'
letters
are
to
be
trusted
no
more
nor
less
than
churchyard
epitaphs
;
yet
,
as
it
sometimes
happens
that
a
person
departs
this
life
who
is
really
deserving
of
all
the
praises
the
stone
cutter
carves
over
his
bones
;
who
IS
a
good
Christian
,
a
good
parent
,
child
,
wife
,
or
husband
;
who
actually
DOES
leave
a
disconsolate
family
to
mourn
his
loss
;
so
in
academies
of
the
male
and
female
sex
it
occurs
every
now
and
then
that
the
pupil
is
fully
worthy
of
the
praises
bestowed
by
the
disinterested
instructor
.
Now
,
Miss
Amelia
Sedley
was
a
young
lady
of
this
singular
species
;
and
deserved
not
only
all
that
Miss
Pinkerton
said
in
her
praise
,
but
had
many
charming
qualities
which
that
pompous
old
Minerva
of
a
woman
could
not
see
,
from
the
differences
of
rank
and
age
between
her
pupil
and
herself
.
For
she
could
not
only
sing
like
a
lark
,
or
a
Mrs.
Billington
,
and
dance
like
Hillisberg
or
Parisot
;
and
embroider
beautifully
;
and
spell
as
well
as
a
Dixonary
itself
;
but
she
had
such
a
kindly
,
smiling
,
tender
,
gentle
,
generous
heart
of
her
own
,
as
won
the
love
of
everybody
who
came
near
her
,
from
Minerva
herself
down
to
the
poor
girl
in
the
scullery
,
and
the
one-eyed
tart-woman
's
daughter
,
who
was
permitted
to
vend
her
wares
once
a
week
to
the
young
ladies
in
the
Mall
.
She
had
twelve
intimate
and
bosom
friends
out
of
the
twenty-four
young
ladies
.
Even
envious
Miss
Briggs
never
spoke
ill
of
her
;
high
and
mighty
Miss
Saltire
(
Lord
Dexter
's
granddaughter
)
allowed
that
her
figure
was
genteel
;
and
as
for
Miss
Swartz
,
the
rich
woolly-haired
mulatto
from
St.
Kitt
's
,
on
the
day
Amelia
went
away
,
she
was
in
such
a
passion
of
tears
that
they
were
obliged
to
send
for
Dr.
Floss
,
and
half
tipsify
her
with
salvolatile
.
Miss
Pinkerton
's
attachment
was
,
as
may
be
supposed
from
the
high
position
and
eminent
virtues
of
that
lady
,
calm
and
dignified
;
but
Miss
Jemima
had
already
whimpered
several
times
at
the
idea
of
Amelia
's
departure
;
and
,
but
for
fear
of
her
sister
,
would
have
gone
off
in
downright
hysterics
,
like
the
heiress
(
who
paid
double
)
of
St.
Kitt
's
.
Such
luxury
of
grief
,
however
,
is
only
allowed
to
parlour-boarders
.
Honest
Jemima
had
all
the
bills
,
and
the
washing
,
and
the
mending
,
and
the
puddings
,
and
the
plate
and
crockery
,
and
the
servants
to
superintend
.
But
why
speak
about
her
?
It
is
probable
that
we
shall
not
hear
of
her
again
from
this
moment
to
the
end
of
time
,
and
that
when
the
great
filigree
iron
gates
are
once
closed
on
her
,
she
and
her
awful
sister
will
never
issue
therefrom
into
this
little
world
of
history
.
