Mine
a
yellow
face
?
Stop
till
you
see
Dobbin
.
Why
,
he
had
the
yellow
fever
three
times
;
twice
at
Nassau
,
and
once
at
St.
Kitts
.
"
"
Well
,
well
;
yours
is
quite
yellow
enough
for
us
.
Is
n't
it
,
Emmy
?
"
Mrs.
Sedley
said
:
at
which
speech
Miss
Amelia
only
made
a
smile
and
a
blush
;
and
looking
at
Mr.
George
Osborne
's
pale
interesting
countenance
,
and
those
beautiful
black
,
curling
,
shining
whiskers
,
which
the
young
gentleman
himself
regarded
with
no
ordinary
complacency
,
she
thought
in
her
little
heart
that
in
His
Majesty
's
army
,
or
in
the
wide
world
,
there
never
was
such
a
face
or
such
a
hero
.
"
I
do
n't
care
about
Captain
Dobbin
's
complexion
,
"
she
said
,
"
or
about
his
awkwardness
.
I
shall
always
like
him
,
I
know
,
"
her
little
reason
being
,
that
he
was
the
friend
and
champion
of
George
.
"
There
's
not
a
finer
fellow
in
the
service
,
"
Osborne
said
,
"
nor
a
better
officer
,
though
he
is
not
an
Adonis
,
certainly
.
"
And
he
looked
towards
the
glass
himself
with
much
naivete
;
and
in
so
doing
,
caught
Miss
Sharp
's
eye
fixed
keenly
upon
him
,
at
which
he
blushed
a
little
,
and
Rebecca
thought
in
her
heart
,
"
Ah
,
mon
beau
Monsieur
!
I
think
I
have
YOUR
gauge
"
--
the
little
artful
minx
!
That
evening
,
when
Amelia
came
tripping
into
the
drawing-room
in
a
white
muslin
frock
,
prepared
for
conquest
at
Vauxhall
,
singing
like
a
lark
,
and
as
fresh
as
a
rose
--
a
very
tall
ungainly
gentleman
,
with
large
hands
and
feet
,
and
large
ears
,
set
off
by
a
closely
cropped
head
of
black
hair
,
and
in
the
hideous
military
frogged
coat
and
cocked
hat
of
those
times
,
advanced
to
meet
her
,
and
made
her
one
of
the
clumsiest
bows
that
was
ever
performed
by
a
mortal
.
This
was
no
other
than
Captain
William
Dobbin
,
of
His
Majesty
's
Regiment
of
Foot
,
returned
from
yellow
fever
,
in
the
West
Indies
,
to
which
the
fortune
of
the
service
had
ordered
his
regiment
,
whilst
so
many
of
his
gallant
comrades
were
reaping
glory
in
the
Peninsula
.
He
had
arrived
with
a
knock
so
very
timid
and
quiet
that
it
was
inaudible
to
the
ladies
upstairs
:
otherwise
,
you
may
be
sure
Miss
Amelia
would
never
have
been
so
bold
as
to
come
singing
into
the
room
.
As
it
was
,
the
sweet
fresh
little
voice
went
right
into
the
Captain
's
heart
,
and
nestled
there
.
When
she
held
out
her
hand
for
him
to
shake
,
before
he
enveloped
it
in
his
own
,
he
paused
,
and
thought
--
"
Well
,
is
it
possible
--
are
you
the
little
maid
I
remember
in
the
pink
frock
,
such
a
short
time
ago
--
the
night
I
upset
the
punch-bowl
,
just
after
I
was
gazetted
?
Are
you
the
little
girl
that
George
Osborne
said
should
marry
him
?
What
a
blooming
young
creature
you
seem
,
and
what
a
prize
the
rogue
has
got
!
"
All
this
he
thought
,
before
he
took
Amelia
's
hand
into
his
own
,
and
as
he
let
his
cocked
hat
fall
.
His
history
since
he
left
school
,
until
the
very
moment
when
we
have
the
pleasure
of
meeting
him
again
,
although
not
fully
narrated
,
has
yet
,
I
think
,
been
indicated
sufficiently
for
an
ingenious
reader
by
the
conversation
in
the
last
page
.
Dobbin
,
the
despised
grocer
,
was
Alderman
Dobbin
--
Alderman
Dobbin
was
Colonel
of
the
City
Light
Horse
,
then
burning
with
military
ardour
to
resist
the
French
Invasion
.
Colonel
Dobbin
's
corps
,
in
which
old
Mr.
Osborne
himself
was
but
an
indifferent
corporal
,
had
been
reviewed
by
the
Sovereign
and
the
Duke
of
York
;
and
the
colonel
and
alderman
had
been
knighted
.
His
son
had
entered
the
army
:
and
young
Osborne
followed
presently
in
the
same
regiment
.
They
had
served
in
the
West
Indies
and
in
Canada
.
Their
regiment
had
just
come
home
,
and
the
attachment
of
Dobbin
to
George
Osborne
was
as
warm
and
generous
now
as
it
had
been
when
the
two
were
schoolboys
.
So
these
worthy
people
sat
down
to
dinner
presently
.
They
talked
about
war
and
glory
,
and
Boney
and
Lord
Wellington
,
and
the
last
Gazette
