His
blushes
,
his
stumbles
,
his
awkwardness
,
and
the
number
of
feet
which
he
crushed
as
he
went
back
to
his
place
,
who
shall
describe
or
calculate
?
Old
Dobbin
,
his
father
,
who
now
respected
him
for
the
first
time
,
gave
him
two
guineas
publicly
;
most
of
which
he
spent
in
a
general
tuck-out
for
the
school
:
and
he
came
back
in
a
tail-coat
after
the
holidays
.
Dobbin
was
much
too
modest
a
young
fellow
to
suppose
that
this
happy
change
in
all
his
circumstances
arose
from
his
own
generous
and
manly
disposition
:
he
chose
,
from
some
perverseness
,
to
attribute
his
good
fortune
to
the
sole
agency
and
benevolence
of
little
George
Osborne
,
to
whom
henceforth
he
vowed
such
a
love
and
affection
as
is
only
felt
by
children
--
such
an
affection
,
as
we
read
in
the
charming
fairy-book
,
uncouth
Orson
had
for
splendid
young
Valentine
his
conqueror
.
He
flung
himself
down
at
little
Osborne
's
feet
,
and
loved
him
.
Even
before
they
were
acquainted
,
he
had
admired
Osborne
in
secret
.
Now
he
was
his
valet
,
his
dog
,
his
man
Friday
.
He
believed
Osborne
to
be
the
possessor
of
every
perfection
,
to
be
the
handsomest
,
the
bravest
,
the
most
active
,
the
cleverest
,
the
most
generous
of
created
boys
.
He
shared
his
money
with
him
:
bought
him
uncountable
presents
of
knives
,
pencil-cases
,
gold
seals
,
toffee
,
Little
Warblers
,
and
romantic
books
,
with
large
coloured
pictures
of
knights
and
robbers
,
in
many
of
which
latter
you
might
read
inscriptions
to
George
Sedley
Osborne
,
Esquire
,
from
his
attached
friend
William
Dobbin
--
the
which
tokens
of
homage
George
received
very
graciously
,
as
became
his
superior
merit
.
So
that
Lieutenant
Osborne
,
when
coming
to
Russell
Square
on
the
day
of
the
Vauxhall
party
,
said
to
the
ladies
,
"
Mrs.
Sedley
,
Ma'am
,
I
hope
you
have
room
;
I
've
asked
Dobbin
of
ours
to
come
and
dine
here
,
and
go
with
us
to
Vauxhall
.
He
's
almost
as
modest
as
Jos.
"
"
Modesty
!
pooh
,
"
said
the
stout
gentleman
,
casting
a
vainqueur
look
at
Miss
Sharp
.
"
He
is
--
but
you
are
incomparably
more
graceful
,
Sedley
,
"
Osborne
added
,
laughing
.
"
I
met
him
at
the
Bedford
,
when
I
went
to
look
for
you
;
and
I
told
him
that
Miss
Amelia
was
come
home
,
and
that
we
were
all
bent
on
going
out
for
a
night
's
pleasuring
;
and
that
Mrs.
Sedley
had
forgiven
his
breaking
the
punch-bowl
at
the
child
's
party
.
Do
n't
you
remember
the
catastrophe
,
Ma'am
,
seven
years
ago
?
"
"
Over
Mrs.
Flamingo
's
crimson
silk
gown
,
"
said
good-natured
Mrs.
Sedley
.
"
What
a
gawky
it
was
!
And
his
sisters
are
not
much
more
graceful
.
Lady
Dobbin
was
at
Highbury
last
night
with
three
of
them
.
Such
figures
!
my
dears
.
"
"
The
Alderman
's
very
rich
,
is
n't
he
?
"
Osborne
said
archly
.
"
Do
n't
you
think
one
of
the
daughters
would
be
a
good
spec
for
me
,
Ma'am
?
"
"
You
foolish
creature
!
Who
would
take
you
,
I
should
like
to
know
,
with
your
yellow
face
?
"
