Young
Ricketts
and
little
Chaffers
went
away
on
the
coach
that
day
--
Ricketts
on
the
box
,
and
taking
the
reins
from
Botley
;
the
Doctor
was
off
to
his
family
at
Portsea
;
Bragg
gone
to
town
to
his
co-partners
;
and
the
first
mate
busy
in
the
unloading
of
the
Ramchunder
.
Mr.
Joe
was
very
lonely
at
Southampton
,
and
got
the
landlord
of
the
George
to
take
a
glass
of
wine
with
him
that
day
,
at
the
very
hour
at
which
Major
Dobbin
was
seated
at
the
table
of
his
father
,
Sir
William
,
where
his
sister
found
out
(
for
it
was
impossible
for
the
Major
to
tell
fibs
)
that
he
had
been
to
see
Mrs.
George
Osborne
.
Jos
was
so
comfortably
situated
in
St.
Martin
's
Lane
,
he
could
enjoy
his
hookah
there
with
such
perfect
ease
,
and
could
swagger
down
to
the
theatres
,
when
minded
,
so
agreeably
,
that
,
perhaps
,
he
would
have
remained
altogether
at
the
Slaughters
'
had
not
his
friend
,
the
Major
,
been
at
his
elbow
.
That
gentleman
would
not
let
the
Bengalee
rest
until
he
had
executed
his
promise
of
having
a
home
for
Amelia
and
his
father
.
Jos
was
a
soft
fellow
in
anybody
's
hands
,
Dobbin
most
active
in
anybody
's
concerns
but
his
own
;
the
civilian
was
,
therefore
,
an
easy
victim
to
the
guileless
arts
of
this
good-natured
diplomatist
and
was
ready
to
do
,
to
purchase
,
hire
,
or
relinquish
whatever
his
friend
thought
fit
.
Loll
Jewab
,
of
whom
the
boys
about
St.
Martin
's
Lane
used
to
make
cruel
fun
whenever
he
showed
his
dusky
countenance
in
the
street
,
was
sent
back
to
Calcutta
in
the
Lady
Kicklebury
East
Indiaman
,
in
which
Sir
William
Dobbin
had
a
share
,
having
previously
taught
Jos
's
European
the
art
of
preparing
curries
,
pilaus
,
and
pipes
.
It
was
a
matter
of
great
delight
and
occupation
to
Jos
to
superintend
the
building
of
a
smart
chariot
which
he
and
the
Major
ordered
in
the
neighbouring
Long
Acre
:
and
a
pair
of
handsome
horses
were
jobbed
,
with
which
Jos
drove
about
in
state
in
the
park
,
or
to
call
upon
his
Indian
friends
.
Amelia
was
not
seldom
by
his
side
on
these
excursions
,
when
also
Major
Dobbin
would
be
seen
in
the
back
seat
of
the
carriage
.
At
other
times
old
Sedley
and
his
daughter
took
advantage
of
it
,
and
Miss
Clapp
,
who
frequently
accompanied
her
friend
,
had
great
pleasure
in
being
recognized
as
she
sat
in
the
carriage
,
dressed
in
the
famous
yellow
shawl
,
by
the
young
gentleman
at
the
surgery
,
whose
face
might
commonly
be
seen
over
the
window-blinds
as
she
passed
.
Shortly
after
Jos
's
first
appearance
at
Brompton
,
a
dismal
scene
,
indeed
,
took
place
at
that
humble
cottage
at
which
the
Sedleys
had
passed
the
last
ten
years
of
their
life
.
Jos
's
carriage
(
the
temporary
one
,
not
the
chariot
under
construction
)
arrived
one
day
and
carried
off
old
Sedley
and
his
daughter
--
to
return
no
more
.
The
tears
that
were
shed
by
the
landlady
and
the
landlady
's
daughter
at
that
event
were
as
genuine
tears
of
sorrow
as
any
that
have
been
outpoured
in
the
course
of
this
history
.
In
their
long
acquaintanceship
and
intimacy
they
could
not
recall
a
harsh
word
that
had
been
uttered
by
Amelia
She
had
been
all
sweetness
and
kindness
,
always
thankful
,
always
gentle
,
even
when
Mrs.
Clapp
lost
her
own
temper
and
pressed
for
the
rent
.
When
the
kind
creature
was
going
away
for
good
and
all
,
the
landlady
reproached
herself
bitterly
for
ever
having
used
a
rough
expression
to
her
--
how
she
wept
,
as
they
stuck
up
with
wafers
on
the
window
,
a
paper
notifying
that
the
little
rooms
so
long
occupied
were
to
let
!
They
never
would
have
such
lodgers
again
,
that
was
quite
clear
.
After-life
proved
the
truth
of
this
melancholy
prophecy
,
and
Mrs.
Clapp
revenged
herself
for
the
deterioration
of
mankind
by
levying
the
most
savage
contributions
upon
the
tea-caddies
and
legs
of
mutton
of
her
locataires
.
Most
of
them
scolded
and
grumbled
;
some
of
them
did
not
pay
;
none
of
them
stayed
.
The
landlady
might
well
regret
those
old
,
old
friends
,
who
had
left
her
.
As
for
Miss
Mary
,
her
sorrow
at
Amelia
's
departure
was
such
as
I
shall
not
attempt
to
depict
.
From
childhood
upwards
she
had
been
with
her
daily
and
had
attached
herself
so
passionately
to
that
dear
good
lady
that
when
the
grand
barouche
came
to
carry
her
off
into
splendour
,
she
fainted
in
the
arms
of
her
friend
,
who
was
indeed
scarcely
less
affected
than
the
good-natured
girl
.
Amelia
loved
her
like
a
daughter
.
During
eleven
years
the
girl
had
been
her
constant
friend
and
associate
.
The
separation
was
a
very
painful
one
indeed
to
her
.
But
it
was
of
course
arranged
that
Mary
was
to
come
and
stay
often
at
the
grand
new
house
whither
Mrs.
Osborne
was
going
,
and
where
Mary
was
sure
she
would
never
be
so
happy
as
she
had
been
in
their
humble
cot
,
as
Miss
Clapp
called
it
,
in
the
language
of
the
novels
which
she
loved
.
Let
us
hope
she
was
wrong
in
her
judgement
.
Poor
Emmy
's
days
of
happiness
had
been
very
few
in
that
humble
cot
.
A
gloomy
Fate
had
oppressed
her
there
.
She
never
liked
to
come
back
to
the
house
after
she
had
left
it
,
or
to
face
the
landlady
who
had
tyrannized
over
her
when
ill-humoured
and
unpaid
,
or
when
pleased
had
treated
her
with
a
coarse
familiarity
scarcely
less
odious
.
Her
servility
and
fulsome
compliments
when
Emmy
was
in
prosperity
were
not
more
to
that
lady
's
liking
.
She
cast
about
notes
of
admiration
all
over
the
new
house
,
extolling
every
article
of
furniture
or
ornament
;
she
fingered
Mrs.
Osborne
's
dresses
and
calculated
their
price
.
Nothing
could
be
too
good
for
that
sweet
lady
,
she
vowed
and
protested
.
But
in
the
vulgar
sycophant
who
now
paid
court
to
her
,
Emmy
always
remembered
the
coarse
tyrant
who
had
made
her
miserable
many
a
time
,
to
whom
she
had
been
forced
to
put
up
petitions
for
time
,
when
the
rent
was
overdue
;
who
cried
out
at
her
extravagance
if
she
bought
delicacies
for
her
ailing
mother
or
father
;
who
had
seen
her
humble
and
trampled
upon
her
.
Nobody
ever
heard
of
these
griefs
,
which
had
been
part
of
our
poor
little
woman
's
lot
in
life
.
She
kept
them
secret
from
her
father
,
whose
improvidence
was
the
cause
of
much
of
her
misery
.
She
had
to
bear
all
the
blame
of
his
misdoings
,
and
indeed
was
so
utterly
gentle
and
humble
as
to
be
made
by
nature
for
a
victim
.
