You
do
n't
know
how
fond
I
was
of
that
one
,
"
Rawdon
said
,
half-inarticulately
.
"
Damme
,
I
followed
her
like
a
footman
.
I
gave
up
everything
I
had
to
her
.
I
'm
a
beggar
because
I
would
marry
her
.
By
Jove
,
sir
,
I
've
pawned
my
own
watch
in
order
to
get
her
anything
she
fancied
;
and
she
she
's
been
making
a
purse
for
herself
all
the
time
,
and
grudged
me
a
hundred
pound
to
get
me
out
of
quod
.
"
He
then
fiercely
and
incoherently
,
and
with
an
agitation
under
which
his
counsellor
had
never
before
seen
him
labour
,
told
Macmurdo
the
circumstances
of
the
story
.
His
adviser
caught
at
some
stray
hints
in
it
.
"
She
may
be
innocent
,
after
all
,
"
he
said
.
"
She
says
so
.
Steyne
has
been
a
hundred
times
alone
with
her
in
the
house
before
.
"
"
It
may
be
so
,
"
Rawdon
answered
sadly
,
"
but
this
do
n't
look
very
innocent
"
:
and
he
showed
the
Captain
the
thousand-pound
note
which
he
had
found
in
Becky
's
pocket-book
.
"
This
is
what
he
gave
her
,
Mac
,
and
she
kep
it
unknown
to
me
;
and
with
this
money
in
the
house
,
she
refused
to
stand
by
me
when
I
was
locked
up
.
"
The
Captain
could
not
but
own
that
the
secreting
of
the
money
had
a
very
ugly
look
.
Whilst
they
were
engaged
in
their
conference
,
Rawdon
dispatched
Captain
Macmurdo
's
servant
to
Curzon
Street
,
with
an
order
to
the
domestic
there
to
give
up
a
bag
of
clothes
of
which
the
Colonel
had
great
need
.
And
during
the
man
's
absence
,
and
with
great
labour
and
a
Johnson
's
Dictionary
,
which
stood
them
in
much
stead
,
Rawdon
and
his
second
composed
a
letter
,
which
the
latter
was
to
send
to
Lord
Steyne
.
Captain
Macmurdo
had
the
honour
of
waiting
upon
the
Marquis
of
Steyne
,
on
the
part
of
Colonel
Rawdon
Crawley
,
and
begged
to
intimate
that
he
was
empowered
by
the
Colonel
to
make
any
arrangements
for
the
meeting
which
,
he
had
no
doubt
,
it
was
his
Lordship
's
intention
to
demand
,
and
which
the
circumstances
of
the
morning
had
rendered
inevitable
.
Captain
Macmurdo
begged
Lord
Steyne
,
in
the
most
polite
manner
,
to
appoint
a
friend
,
with
whom
he
(
Captain
M.M.
)
might
communicate
,
and
desired
that
the
meeting
might
take
place
with
as
little
delay
as
possible
.
In
a
postscript
the
Captain
stated
that
he
had
in
his
possession
a
bank-note
for
a
large
amount
,
which
Colonel
Crawley
had
reason
to
suppose
was
the
property
of
the
Marquis
of
Steyne
.
And
he
was
anxious
,
on
the
Colonel
's
behalf
,
to
give
up
the
note
to
its
owner
.
By
the
time
this
note
was
composed
,
the
Captain
's
servant
returned
from
his
mission
to
Colonel
Crawley
's
house
in
Curzon
Street
,
but
without
the
carpet-bag
and
portmanteau
,
for
which
he
had
been
sent
,
and
with
a
very
puzzled
and
odd
face
.
"
They
wo
n't
give
'em
up
,
"
said
the
man
;
"
there
's
a
regular
shinty
in
the
house
,
and
everything
at
sixes
and
sevens
.
The
landlord
's
come
in
and
took
possession
.
The
servants
was
a
drinkin
'
up
in
the
drawingroom
.
They
said
--
they
said
you
had
gone
off
with
the
plate
,
Colonel
"
--
the
man
added
after
a
pause
--
"
One
of
the
servants
is
off
already
.
And
Simpson
,
the
man
as
was
very
noisy
and
drunk
indeed
,
says
nothing
shall
go
out
of
the
house
until
his
wages
is
paid
up
.
"
The
account
of
this
little
revolution
in
May
Fair
astonished
and
gave
a
little
gaiety
to
an
otherwise
very
triste
conversation
.
The
two
officers
laughed
at
Rawdon
's
discomfiture
.
"
I
'm
glad
the
little
'
un
is
n't
at
home
,
"
Rawdon
said
,
biting
his
nails
.
"
You
remember
him
,
Mac
,
do
n't
you
,
in
the
Riding
School
?
How
he
sat
the
kicker
to
be
sure
!
did
n't
he
?
