Poor
old
boy
,
"
Macmurdo
said
,
shaking
his
head
.
Rawdon
Crawley
resisted
for
some
time
the
idea
of
taking
the
place
which
had
been
procured
for
him
by
so
odious
a
patron
,
and
was
also
for
removing
the
boy
from
the
school
where
Lord
Steyne
's
interest
had
placed
him
.
He
was
induced
,
however
,
to
acquiesce
in
these
benefits
by
the
entreaties
of
his
brother
and
Macmurdo
,
but
mainly
by
the
latter
,
pointing
out
to
him
what
a
fury
Steyne
would
be
in
to
think
that
his
enemy
's
fortune
was
made
through
his
means
.
When
the
Marquis
of
Steyne
came
abroad
after
his
accident
,
the
Colonial
Secretary
bowed
up
to
him
and
congratulated
himself
and
the
Service
upon
having
made
so
excellent
an
appointment
.
These
congratulations
were
received
with
a
degree
of
gratitude
which
may
be
imagined
on
the
part
of
Lord
Steyne
.
The
secret
of
the
rencontre
between
him
and
Colonel
Crawley
was
buried
in
the
profoundest
oblivion
,
as
Wenham
said
;
that
is
,
by
the
seconds
and
the
principals
.
But
before
that
evening
was
over
it
was
talked
of
at
fifty
dinner-tables
in
Vanity
Fair
.
Little
Cackleby
himself
went
to
seven
evening
parties
and
told
the
story
with
comments
and
emendations
at
each
place
.
How
Mrs.
Washington
White
revelled
in
it
!
The
Bishopess
of
Ealing
was
shocked
beyond
expression
;
the
Bishop
went
and
wrote
his
name
down
in
the
visiting-book
at
Gaunt
House
that
very
day
.
Little
Southdown
was
sorry
;
so
you
may
be
sure
was
his
sister
Lady
Jane
,
very
sorry
.
Lady
Southdown
wrote
it
off
to
her
other
daughter
at
the
Cape
of
Good
Hope
.
It
was
town-talk
for
at
least
three
days
,
and
was
only
kept
out
of
the
newspapers
by
the
exertions
of
Mr.
Wagg
,
acting
upon
a
hint
from
Mr.
Wenham
.
The
bailiffs
and
brokers
seized
upon
poor
Raggles
in
Curzon
Street
,
and
the
late
fair
tenant
of
that
poor
little
mansion
was
in
the
meanwhile
--
where
?
Who
cared
!
Who
asked
after
a
day
or
two
?
Was
she
guilty
or
not
?
We
all
know
how
charitable
the
world
is
,
and
how
the
verdict
of
Vanity
Fair
goes
when
there
is
a
doubt
.
Some
people
said
she
had
gone
to
Naples
in
pursuit
of
Lord
Steyne
,
whilst
others
averred
that
his
Lordship
quitted
that
city
and
fled
to
Palermo
on
hearing
of
Becky
's
arrival
;
some
said
she
was
living
in
Bierstadt
,
and
had
become
a
dame
d'honneur
to
the
Queen
of
Bulgaria
;
some
that
she
was
at
Boulogne
;
and
others
,
at
a
boarding-house
at
Cheltenham
.
Rawdon
made
her
a
tolerable
annuity
,
and
we
may
be
sure
that
she
was
a
woman
who
could
make
a
little
money
go
a
great
way
,
as
the
saying
is
.
He
would
have
paid
his
debts
on
leaving
England
,
could
he
have
got
any
Insurance
Office
to
take
his
life
,
but
the
climate
of
Coventry
Island
was
so
bad
that
he
could
borrow
no
money
on
the
strength
of
his
salary
.
He
remitted
,
however
,
to
his
brother
punctually
,
and
wrote
to
his
little
boy
regularly
every
mail
.
He
kept
Macmurdo
in
cigars
and
sent
over
quantities
of
shells
,
cayenne
pepper
,
hot
pickles
,
guava
jelly
,
and
colonial
produce
to
Lady
Jane
.
He
sent
his
brother
home
the
Swamp
Town
Gazette
,
in
which
the
new
Governor
was
praised
with
immense
enthusiasm
;
whereas
the
Swamp
Town
Sentinel
,
whose
wife
was
not
asked
to
Government
House
,
declared
that
his
Excellency
was
a
tyrant
,
compared
to
whom
Nero
was
an
enlightened
philanthropist
.
Little
Rawdon
used
to
like
to
get
the
papers
and
read
about
his
Excellency
.
His
mother
never
made
any
movement
to
see
the
child
He
went
home
to
his
aunt
for
Sundays
and
holidays
;
he
soon
knew
every
bird
's
nest
about
Queen
's
Crawley
,
and
rode
out
with
Sir
Huddlestone
's
hounds
,
which
he
admired
so
on
his
first
well-remembered
visit
to
Hampshire
.
Georgy
Osborne
was
now
fairly
established
in
his
grandfather
's
mansion
in
Russell
Square
,
occupant
of
his
father
's
room
in
the
house
and
heir
apparent
of
all
the
splendours
there
.
The
good
looks
,
gallant
bearing
,
and
gentlemanlike
appearance
of
the
boy
won
the
grandsire
's
heart
for
him
.
Mr.
Osborne
was
as
proud
of
him
as
ever
he
had
been
of
the
elder
George
.
