Amelia
found
him
up
very
early
the
next
morning
,
more
eager
,
more
hectic
,
and
more
shaky
than
ever
.
"
I
did
n't
sleep
much
,
Emmy
,
my
dear
,
"
he
said
.
"
I
was
thinking
of
my
poor
Bessy
.
I
wish
she
was
alive
,
to
ride
in
Jos
's
carriage
once
again
.
She
kept
her
own
and
became
it
very
well
.
"
And
his
eyes
filled
with
tears
,
which
trickled
down
his
furrowed
old
face
.
Amelia
wiped
them
away
,
and
smilingly
kissed
him
,
and
tied
the
old
man
's
neckcloth
in
a
smart
bow
,
and
put
his
brooch
into
his
best
shirt
frill
,
in
which
,
in
his
Sunday
suit
of
mourning
,
he
sat
from
six
o'clock
in
the
morning
awaiting
the
arrival
of
his
son
.
However
,
when
the
postman
made
his
appearance
,
the
little
party
were
put
out
of
suspense
by
the
receipt
of
a
letter
from
Jos
to
his
sister
,
who
announced
that
he
felt
a
little
fatigued
after
his
voyage
,
and
should
not
be
able
to
move
on
that
day
,
but
that
he
would
leave
Southampton
early
the
next
morning
and
be
with
his
father
and
mother
at
evening
.
Amelia
,
as
she
read
out
the
letter
to
her
father
,
paused
over
the
latter
word
;
her
brother
,
it
was
clear
,
did
not
know
what
had
happened
in
the
family
.
Nor
could
he
,
for
the
fact
is
that
,
though
the
Major
rightly
suspected
that
his
travelling
companion
never
would
be
got
into
motion
in
so
short
a
space
as
twenty-four
hours
,
and
would
find
some
excuse
for
delaying
,
yet
Dobbin
had
not
written
to
Jos
to
inform
him
of
the
calamity
which
had
befallen
the
Sedley
family
,
being
occupied
in
talking
with
Amelia
until
long
after
post-hour
.
There
are
some
splendid
tailors
'
shops
in
the
High
Street
of
Southampton
,
in
the
fine
plate-glass
windows
of
which
hang
gorgeous
waistcoats
of
all
sorts
,
of
silk
and
velvet
,
and
gold
and
crimson
,
and
pictures
of
the
last
new
fashions
,
in
which
those
wonderful
gentlemen
with
quizzing
glasses
,
and
holding
on
to
little
boys
with
the
exceeding
large
eyes
and
curly
hair
,
ogle
ladies
in
riding
habits
prancing
by
the
Statue
of
Achilles
at
Apsley
House
.
Jos
,
although
provided
with
some
of
the
most
splendid
vests
that
Calcutta
could
furnish
,
thought
he
could
not
go
to
town
until
he
was
supplied
with
one
or
two
of
these
garments
,
and
selected
a
crimson
satin
,
embroidered
with
gold
butterflies
,
and
a
black
and
red
velvet
tartan
with
white
stripes
and
a
rolling
collar
,
with
which
,
and
a
rich
blue
satin
stock
and
a
gold
pin
,
consisting
of
a
five-barred
gate
with
a
horseman
in
pink
enamel
jumping
over
it
,
he
thought
he
might
make
his
entry
into
London
with
some
dignity
.
For
Jos
's
former
shyness
and
blundering
blushing
timidity
had
given
way
to
a
more
candid
and
courageous
self-assertion
of
his
worth
.
"
I
do
n't
care
about
owning
it
,
"
Waterloo
Sedley
would
say
to
his
friends
,
"
I
am
a
dressy
man
"
;
and
though
rather
uneasy
if
the
ladies
looked
at
him
at
the
Government
House
balls
,
and
though
he
blushed
and
turned
away
alarmed
under
their
glances
,
it
was
chiefly
from
a
dread
lest
they
should
make
love
to
him
that
he
avoided
them
,
being
averse
to
marriage
altogether
.
But
there
was
no
such
swell
in
Calcutta
as
Waterloo
Sedley
,
I
have
heard
say
,
and
he
had
the
handsomest
turn-out
,
gave
the
best
bachelor
dinners
,
and
had
the
finest
plate
in
the
whole
place
.
To
make
these
waistcoats
for
a
man
of
his
size
and
dignity
took
at
least
a
day
,
part
of
which
he
employed
in
hiring
a
servant
to
wait
upon
him
and
his
native
and
in
instructing
the
agent
who
cleared
his
baggage
,
his
boxes
,
his
books
,
which
he
never
read
,
his
chests
of
mangoes
,
chutney
,
and
curry-powders
,
his
shawls
for
presents
to
people
whom
he
did
n't
know
as
yet
,
and
the
rest
of
his
Persicos
apparatus
.
At
length
,
he
drove
leisurely
to
London
on
the
third
day
and
in
the
new
waistcoat
,
the
native
,
with
chattering
teeth
,
shuddering
in
a
shawl
on
the
box
by
the
side
of
the
new
European
servant
;
Jos
puffing
his
pipe
at
intervals
within
and
looking
so
majestic
that
the
little
boys
cried
Hooray
,
and
many
people
thought
he
must
be
a
Governor-General
.
HE
,
I
promise
,
did
not
decline
the
obsequious
invitation
of
the
landlords
to
alight
and
refresh
himself
in
the
neat
country
towns
.
Having
partaken
of
a
copious
breakfast
,
with
fish
,
and
rice
,
and
hard
eggs
,
at
Southampton
,
he
had
so
far
rallied
at
Winchester
as
to
think
a
glass
of
sherry
necessary
.
At
Alton
he
stepped
out
of
the
carriage
at
his
servant
's
request
and
imbibed
some
of
the
ale
for
which
the
place
is
famous
.
At
Farnham
he
stopped
to
view
the
Bishop
's
Castle
and
to
partake
of
a
light
dinner
of
stewed
eels
,
veal
cutlets
,
and
French
beans
,
with
a
bottle
of
claret
.
He
was
cold
over
Bagshot
Heath
,
where
the
native
chattered
more
and
more
,
and
Jos
Sahib
took
some
brandy-and-water
;
in
fact
,
when
he
drove
into
town
he
was
as
full
of
wine
,
beer
,
meat
,
pickles
,
cherry-brandy
,
and
tobacco
as
the
steward
's
cabin
of
a
steam-packet
.
It
was
evening
when
his
carriage
thundered
up
to
the
little
door
in
Brompton
,
whither
the
affectionate
fellow
drove
first
,
and
before
hieing
to
the
apartments
secured
for
him
by
Mr.
Dobbin
at
the
Slaughters
'
.
All
the
faces
in
the
street
were
in
the
windows
;
the
little
maidservant
flew
to
the
wicket-gate
;
the
Mesdames
Clapp
looked
out
from
the
casement
of
the
ornamented
kitchen
;
Emmy
,
in
a
great
flutter
,
was
in
the
passage
among
the
hats
and
coats
;
and
old
Sedley
in
the
parlour
inside
,
shaking
all
over
.
Jos
descended
from
the
post-chaise
and
down
the
creaking
swaying
steps
in
awful
state
,
supported
by
the
new
valet
from
Southampton
and
the
shuddering
native
,
whose
brown
face
was
now
livid
with
cold
and
of
the
colour
of
a
turkey
's
gizzard
.
He
created
an
immense
sensation
in
the
passage
presently
,
where
Mrs.
and
Miss
Clapp
,
coming
perhaps
to
listen
at
the
parlour
door
,
found
Loll
Jewab
shaking
upon
the
hall-bench
under
the
coats
,
moaning
in
a
strange
piteous
way
,
and
showing
his
yellow
eyeballs
and
white
teeth
.
