"
My
dear
Mrs.
Crawley
,
it
must
have
cost
a
little
fortune
,
"
Lady
Jane
said
,
looking
down
at
her
own
lace
,
which
was
not
nearly
so
good
;
and
then
examining
the
quality
of
the
ancient
brocade
which
formed
the
material
of
Mrs.
Rawdon
's
Court
dress
,
she
felt
inclined
to
say
that
she
could
not
afford
such
fine
clothing
,
but
checked
that
speech
,
with
an
effort
,
as
one
uncharitable
to
her
kinswoman
.
And
yet
,
if
Lady
Jane
had
known
all
,
I
think
even
her
kindly
temper
would
have
failed
her
.
The
fact
is
,
when
she
was
putting
Sir
Pitt
's
house
in
order
,
Mrs.
Rawdon
had
found
the
lace
and
the
brocade
in
old
wardrobes
,
the
property
of
the
former
ladies
of
the
house
,
and
had
quietly
carried
the
goods
home
,
and
had
suited
them
to
her
own
little
person
.
Briggs
saw
her
take
them
,
asked
no
questions
,
told
no
stories
;
but
I
believe
quite
sympathised
with
her
on
this
matter
,
and
so
would
many
another
honest
woman
.
And
the
diamonds
--
"
Where
the
doose
did
you
get
the
diamonds
,
Becky
?
"
said
her
husband
,
admiring
some
jewels
which
he
had
never
seen
before
and
which
sparkled
in
her
ears
and
on
her
neck
with
brilliance
and
profusion
.
Becky
blushed
a
little
and
looked
at
him
hard
for
a
moment
.
Pitt
Crawley
blushed
a
little
too
,
and
looked
out
of
window
.
The
fact
is
,
he
had
given
her
a
very
small
portion
of
the
brilliants
;
a
pretty
diamond
clasp
,
which
confined
a
pearl
necklace
which
she
wore
--
and
the
Baronet
had
omitted
to
mention
the
circumstance
to
his
lady
.
Becky
looked
at
her
husband
,
and
then
at
Sir
Pitt
,
with
an
air
of
saucy
triumph
--
as
much
as
to
say
,
"
Shall
I
betray
you
?
"
"
Guess
!
"
she
said
to
her
husband
.
"
Why
,
you
silly
man
,
"
she
continued
,
"
where
do
you
suppose
I
got
them
?
--
all
except
the
little
clasp
,
which
a
dear
friend
of
mine
gave
me
long
ago
.
I
hired
them
,
to
be
sure
.
I
hired
them
at
Mr.
Polonius
's
,
in
Coventry
Street
.
You
do
n't
suppose
that
all
the
diamonds
which
go
to
Court
belong
to
the
wearers
;
like
those
beautiful
stones
which
Lady
Jane
has
,
and
which
are
much
handsomer
than
any
which
I
have
,
I
am
certain
.
"
"
They
are
family
jewels
,
"
said
Sir
Pitt
,
again
looking
uneasy
.
And
in
this
family
conversation
the
carriage
rolled
down
the
street
,
until
its
cargo
was
finally
discharged
at
the
gates
of
the
palace
where
the
Sovereign
was
sitting
in
state
.
The
diamonds
,
which
had
created
Rawdon
's
admiration
,
never
went
back
to
Mr.
Polonius
,
of
Coventry
Street
,
and
that
gentleman
never
applied
for
their
restoration
,
but
they
retired
into
a
little
private
repository
,
in
an
old
desk
,
which
Amelia
Sedley
had
given
her
years
and
years
ago
,
and
in
which
Becky
kept
a
number
of
useful
and
,
perhaps
,
valuable
things
,
about
which
her
husband
knew
nothing
.
To
know
nothing
,
or
little
,
is
in
the
nature
of
some
husbands
.
