The
Major
folded
his
arms
round
her
,
holding
her
to
him
as
if
she
was
a
child
,
and
kissed
her
head
.
"
I
will
not
change
,
dear
Amelia
,
"
he
said
.
"
I
ask
for
no
more
than
your
love
.
I
think
I
would
not
have
it
otherwise
.
Only
let
me
stay
near
you
and
see
you
often
.
"
"
Yes
,
often
,
"
Amelia
said
.
And
so
William
was
at
liberty
to
look
and
long
--
as
the
poor
boy
at
school
who
has
no
money
may
sigh
after
the
contents
of
the
tart-woman
's
tray
.
Good
fortune
now
begins
to
smile
upon
Amelia
.
We
are
glad
to
get
her
out
of
that
low
sphere
in
which
she
has
been
creeping
hitherto
and
introduce
her
into
a
polite
circle
--
not
so
grand
and
refined
as
that
in
which
our
other
female
friend
,
Mrs.
Becky
,
has
appeared
,
but
still
having
no
small
pretensions
to
gentility
and
fashion
.
Jos
's
friends
were
all
from
the
three
presidencies
,
and
his
new
house
was
in
the
comfortable
Anglo-Indian
district
of
which
Moira
Place
is
the
centre
.
Minto
Square
,
Great
Clive
Street
,
Warren
Street
,
Hastings
Street
,
Ochterlony
Place
,
Plassy
Square
,
Assaye
Terrace
(
"
gardens
"
was
a
felicitous
word
not
applied
to
stucco
houses
with
asphalt
terraces
in
front
,
so
early
as
1827
)
--
who
does
not
know
these
respectable
abodes
of
the
retired
Indian
aristocracy
,
and
the
quarter
which
Mr.
Wenham
calls
the
Black
Hole
,
in
a
word
?
Jos
's
position
in
life
was
not
grand
enough
to
entitle
him
to
a
house
in
Moira
Place
,
where
none
can
live
but
retired
Members
of
Council
,
and
partners
of
Indian
firms
(
who
break
,
after
having
settled
a
hundred
thousand
pounds
on
their
wives
,
and
retire
into
comparative
penury
to
a
country
place
and
four
thousand
a
year
)
;
he
engaged
a
comfortable
house
of
a
second
--
or
third-rate
order
in
Gillespie
Street
,
purchasing
the
carpets
,
costly
mirrors
,
and
handsome
and
appropriate
planned
furniture
by
Seddons
from
the
assignees
of
Mr.
Scape
,
lately
admitted
partner
into
the
great
Calcutta
House
of
Fogle
,
Fake
,
and
Cracksman
,
in
which
poor
Scape
had
embarked
seventy
thousand
pounds
,
the
earnings
of
a
long
and
honourable
life
,
taking
Fake
's
place
,
who
retired
to
a
princely
park
in
Sussex
(
the
Fogles
have
been
long
out
of
the
firm
,
and
Sir
Horace
Fogle
is
about
to
be
raised
to
the
peerage
as
Baron
Bandanna
)
--
admitted
,
I
say
,
partner
into
the
great
agency
house
of
Fogle
and
Fake
two
years
before
it
failed
for
a
million
and
plunged
half
the
Indian
public
into
misery
and
ruin
.
Scape
,
ruined
,
honest
,
and
broken-hearted
at
sixty-five
years
of
age
,
went
out
to
Calcutta
to
wind
up
the
affairs
of
the
house
.
Walter
Scape
was
withdrawn
from
Eton
and
put
into
a
merchant
's
house
.
Florence
Scape
,
Fanny
Scape
,
and
their
mother
faded
away
to
Boulogne
,
and
will
be
heard
of
no
more
.
To
be
brief
,
Jos
stepped
in
and
bought
their
carpets
and
sideboards
and
admired
himself
in
the
mirrors
which
had
reflected
their
kind
handsome
faces
.
The
Scape
tradesmen
,
all
honourably
paid
,
left
their
cards
,
and
were
eager
to
supply
the
new
household
.
The
large
men
in
white
waistcoats
who
waited
at
Scape
's
dinners
,
greengrocers
,
bank-porters
,
and
milkmen
in
their
private
capacity
,
left
their
addresses
and
ingratiated
themselves
with
the
butler
.
Mr.
Chummy
,
the
chimney-purifier
,
who
had
swept
the
last
three
families
,
tried
to
coax
the
butler
and
the
boy
under
him
,
whose
duty
it
was
to
go
out
covered
with
buttons
and
with
stripes
down
his
trousers
,
for
the
protection
of
Mrs.
Amelia
whenever
she
chose
to
walk
abroad
.
It
was
a
modest
establishment
.
The
butler
was
Jos
's
valet
also
,
and
never
was
more
drunk
than
a
butler
in
a
small
family
should
be
who
has
a
proper
regard
for
his
master
's
wine
.
Emmy
was
supplied
with
a
maid
,
grown
on
Sir
William
Dobbin
's
suburban
estate
;
a
good
girl
,
whose
kindness
and
humility
disarmed
Mrs.
Osborne
,
who
was
at
first
terrified
at
the
idea
of
having
a
servant
to
wait
upon
herself
,
who
did
not
in
the
least
know
how
to
use
one
,
and
who
always
spoke
to
domestics
with
the
most
reverential
politeness
.
But
this
maid
was
very
useful
in
the
family
,
in
dexterously
tending
old
Mr.
Sedley
,
who
kept
almost
entirely
to
his
own
quarter
of
the
house
and
never
mixed
in
any
of
the
gay
doings
which
took
place
there
.
Numbers
of
people
came
to
see
Mrs.
Osborne
.
Lady
Dobbin
and
daughters
were
delighted
at
her
change
of
fortune
,
and
waited
upon
her
.
Miss
Osborne
from
Russell
Square
came
in
her
grand
chariot
with
the
flaming
hammer-cloth
emblazoned
with
the
Leeds
arms
.
Jos
was
reported
to
be
immensely
rich
.
Old
Osborne
had
no
objection
that
Georgy
should
inherit
his
uncle
's
property
as
well
as
his
own
.
"
Damn
it
,
we
will
make
a
man
of
the
feller
,
"
he
said
;
"
and
I
'll
see
him
in
Parliament
before
I
die
.
You
may
go
and
see
his
mother
,
Miss
O.
,
though
I
'll
never
set
eyes
on
her
"
:
and
Miss
Osborne
came
.
Emmy
,
you
may
be
sure
,
was
very
glad
to
see
her
,
and
so
be
brought
nearer
to
George
.
That
young
fellow
was
allowed
to
come
much
more
frequently
than
before
to
visit
his
mother
.
He
dined
once
or
twice
a
week
in
Gillespie
Street
and
bullied
the
servants
and
his
relations
there
,
just
as
he
did
in
Russell
Square
.
He
was
always
respectful
to
Major
Dobbin
,
however
,
and
more
modest
in
his
demeanour
when
that
gentleman
was
present
.
He
was
a
clever
lad
and
afraid
of
the
Major
.
George
could
not
help
admiring
his
friend
's
simplicity
,
his
good
humour
,
his
various
learning
quietly
imparted
,
his
general
love
of
truth
and
justice
.
He
had
met
no
such
man
as
yet
in
the
course
of
his
experience
,
and
he
had
an
instinctive
liking
for
a
gentleman
.
He
hung
fondly
by
his
godfather
's
side
,
and
it
was
his
delight
to
walk
in
the
parks
and
hear
Dobbin
talk
.
William
told
George
about
his
father
,
about
India
and
Waterloo
,
about
everything
but
himself
.
When
George
was
more
than
usually
pert
and
conceited
,
the
Major
made
jokes
at
him
,
which
Mrs.
Osborne
thought
very
cruel
.
One
day
,
taking
him
to
the
play
,
and
the
boy
declining
to
go
into
the
pit
because
it
was
vulgar
,
the
Major
took
him
to
the
boxes
,
left
him
there
,
and
went
down
himself
to
the
pit
.
He
had
not
been
seated
there
very
long
before
he
felt
an
arm
thrust
under
his
and
a
dandy
little
hand
in
a
kid
glove
squeezing
his
arm
.
George
had
seen
the
absurdity
of
his
ways
and
come
down
from
the
upper
region
.
A
tender
laugh
of
benevolence
lighted
up
old
Dobbin
's
face
and
eyes
as
he
looked
at
the
repentant
little
prodigal
.
He
loved
the
boy
,
as
he
did
everything
that
belonged
to
Amelia
.
How
charmed
she
was
when
she
heard
of
this
instance
of
George
's
goodness
!
Her
eyes
looked
more
kindly
on
Dobbin
than
they
ever
had
done
.
She
blushed
,
he
thought
,
after
looking
at
him
so
.
