George
S.
Osborne
Athene
House
,
24
April
,
1827
"
Think
of
him
writing
such
a
hand
,
and
quoting
Greek
too
,
at
his
age
,
"
the
delighted
mother
said
.
"
Oh
,
William
,
"
she
added
,
holding
out
her
hand
to
the
Major
,
"
what
a
treasure
Heaven
has
given
me
in
that
boy
!
He
is
the
comfort
of
my
life
--
and
he
is
the
image
of
--
of
him
that
's
gone
!
"
"
Ought
I
to
be
angry
with
her
for
being
faithful
to
him
?
"
William
thought
.
"
Ought
I
to
be
jealous
of
my
friend
in
the
grave
,
or
hurt
that
such
a
heart
as
Amelia
's
can
love
only
once
and
for
ever
?
Oh
,
George
,
George
,
how
little
you
knew
the
prize
you
had
,
though
.
"
This
sentiment
passed
rapidly
through
William
's
mind
as
he
was
holding
Amelia
's
hand
,
whilst
the
handkerchief
was
veiling
her
eyes
"
Dear
friend
,
"
she
said
,
pressing
the
hand
which
held
hers
,
"
how
good
,
how
kind
you
always
have
been
to
me
!
See
!
Papa
is
stirring
.
You
will
go
and
see
Georgy
tomorrow
,
wo
n't
you
?
"
"
Not
to-morrow
,
"
said
poor
old
Dobbin
.
"
I
have
business
.
"
He
did
not
like
to
own
that
he
had
not
as
yet
been
to
his
parents
'
and
his
dear
sister
Anne
--
a
remissness
for
which
I
am
sure
every
well-regulated
person
will
blame
the
Major
.
And
presently
he
took
his
leave
,
leaving
his
address
behind
him
for
Jos
,
against
the
latter
's
arrival
.
And
so
the
first
day
was
over
,
and
he
had
seen
her
.
When
he
got
back
to
the
Slaughters
'
,
the
roast
fowl
was
of
course
cold
,
in
which
condition
he
ate
it
for
supper
.
And
knowing
what
early
hours
his
family
kept
,
and
that
it
would
be
needless
to
disturb
their
slumbers
at
so
late
an
hour
,
it
is
on
record
,
that
Major
Dobbin
treated
himself
to
half-price
at
the
Haymarket
Theatre
that
evening
,
where
let
us
hope
he
enjoyed
himself
.
The
Major
's
visit
left
old
John
Sedley
in
a
great
state
of
agitation
and
excitement
.
His
daughter
could
not
induce
him
to
settle
down
to
his
customary
occupations
or
amusements
that
night
.
He
passed
the
evening
fumbling
amongst
his
boxes
and
desks
,
untying
his
papers
with
trembling
hands
,
and
sorting
and
arranging
them
against
Jos
's
arrival
.
He
had
them
in
the
greatest
order
--
his
tapes
and
his
files
,
his
receipts
,
and
his
letters
with
lawyers
and
correspondents
;
the
documents
relative
to
the
wine
project
(
which
failed
from
a
most
unaccountable
accident
,
after
commencing
with
the
most
splendid
prospects
)
,
the
coal
project
(
which
only
a
want
of
capital
prevented
from
becoming
the
most
successful
scheme
ever
put
before
the
public
)
,
the
patent
saw-mills
and
sawdust
consolidation
project
,
&
c.
,
&
c.
All
night
,
until
a
very
late
hour
,
he
passed
in
the
preparation
of
these
documents
,
trembling
about
from
one
room
to
another
,
with
a
quivering
candle
and
shaky
hands
.
Here
's
the
wine
papers
,
here
's
the
sawdust
,
here
's
the
coals
;
here
's
my
letters
to
Calcutta
and
Madras
,
and
replies
from
Major
Dobbin
,
C.B.
,
and
Mr.
Joseph
Sedley
to
the
same
.
"
He
shall
find
no
irregularity
about
ME
,
Emmy
,
"
the
old
gentleman
said
.
Emmy
smiled
.
"
I
do
n't
think
Jos
will
care
about
seeing
those
papers
,
Papa
,
"
she
said
.
"
You
do
n't
know
anything
about
business
,
my
dear
,
"
answered
the
sire
,
shaking
his
head
with
an
important
air
.
And
it
must
be
confessed
that
on
this
point
Emmy
was
very
ignorant
,
and
that
is
a
pity
some
people
are
so
knowing
.
All
these
twopenny
documents
arranged
on
a
side
table
,
old
Sedley
covered
them
carefully
over
with
a
clean
bandanna
handkerchief
(
one
out
of
Major
Dobbin
's
lot
)
and
enjoined
the
maid
and
landlady
of
the
house
,
in
the
most
solemn
way
,
not
to
disturb
those
papers
,
which
were
arranged
for
the
arrival
of
Mr.
Joseph
Sedley
the
next
morning
,
"
Mr.
Joseph
Sedley
of
the
Honourable
East
India
Company
's
Bengal
Civil
Service
.
