Major
D.
,
"
Mr.
Osborne
said
,
looking
hard
at
him
and
turning
very
red
too
--
"
you
did
me
a
great
injury
;
but
give
me
leave
to
tell
you
,
sir
,
you
are
an
honest
feller
.
There
's
my
hand
,
sir
,
though
I
little
thought
that
my
flesh
and
blood
was
living
on
you
--
"
and
the
pair
shook
hands
,
with
great
confusion
on
Major
Dobbin
's
part
,
thus
found
out
in
his
act
of
charitable
hypocrisy
.
He
strove
to
soften
the
old
man
and
reconcile
him
towards
his
son
's
memory
.
"
He
was
such
a
noble
fellow
,
"
he
said
,
"
that
all
of
us
loved
him
,
and
would
have
done
anything
for
him
.
I
,
as
a
young
man
in
those
days
,
was
flattered
beyond
measure
by
his
preference
for
me
,
and
was
more
pleased
to
be
seen
in
his
company
than
in
that
of
the
Commander-in-Chief
.
I
never
saw
his
equal
for
pluck
and
daring
and
all
the
qualities
of
a
soldier
"
;
and
Dobbin
told
the
old
father
as
many
stories
as
he
could
remember
regarding
the
gallantry
and
achievements
of
his
son
.
"
And
Georgy
is
so
like
him
,
"
the
Major
added
.
"
He
's
so
like
him
that
he
makes
me
tremble
sometimes
,
"
the
grandfather
said
.
On
one
or
two
evenings
the
Major
came
to
dine
with
Mr.
Osborne
(
it
was
during
the
time
of
the
sickness
of
Mr.
Sedley
)
,
and
as
the
two
sat
together
in
the
evening
after
dinner
,
all
their
talk
was
about
the
departed
hero
.
The
father
boasted
about
him
according
to
his
wont
,
glorifying
himself
in
recounting
his
son
's
feats
and
gallantry
,
but
his
mood
was
at
any
rate
better
and
more
charitable
than
that
in
which
he
had
been
disposed
until
now
to
regard
the
poor
fellow
;
and
the
Christian
heart
of
the
kind
Major
was
pleased
at
these
symptoms
of
returning
peace
and
good-will
.
On
the
second
evening
old
Osborne
called
Dobbin
William
,
just
as
he
used
to
do
at
the
time
when
Dobbin
and
George
were
boys
together
,
and
the
honest
gentleman
was
pleased
by
that
mark
of
reconciliation
.
On
the
next
day
at
breakfast
,
when
Miss
Osborne
,
with
the
asperity
of
her
age
and
character
,
ventured
to
make
some
remark
reflecting
slightingly
upon
the
Major
's
appearance
or
behaviour
--
the
master
of
the
house
interrupted
her
.
"
You
'd
have
been
glad
enough
to
git
him
for
yourself
,
Miss
O
.
But
them
grapes
are
sour
.
Ha
!
ha
!
Major
William
is
a
fine
feller
.
"
"
That
he
is
,
Grandpapa
,
"
said
Georgy
approvingly
;
and
going
up
close
to
the
old
gentleman
,
he
took
a
hold
of
his
large
grey
whiskers
,
and
laughed
in
his
face
good-humouredly
,
and
kissed
him
.
And
he
told
the
story
at
night
to
his
mother
,
who
fully
agreed
with
the
boy
.
"
Indeed
he
is
,
"
she
said
.
"
Your
dear
father
always
said
so
.
He
is
one
of
the
best
and
most
upright
of
men
.
"
Dobbin
happened
to
drop
in
very
soon
after
this
conversation
,
which
made
Amelia
blush
perhaps
,
and
the
young
scapegrace
increased
the
confusion
by
telling
Dobbin
the
other
part
of
the
story
.
"
I
say
,
Dob
,
"
he
said
,
"
there
's
such
an
uncommon
nice
girl
wants
to
marry
you
.
She
's
plenty
of
tin
;
she
wears
a
front
;
and
she
scolds
the
servants
from
morning
till
night
.
"
"
Who
is
it
?
"
asked
Dobbin
.
"
It
's
Aunt
O.
,
"
the
boy
answered
.
"
Grandpapa
said
so
.
And
I
say
,
Dob
,
how
prime
it
would
be
to
have
you
for
my
uncle
.
"
Old
Sedley
's
quavering
voice
from
the
next
room
at
this
moment
weakly
called
for
Amelia
,
and
the
laughing
ended
.
That
old
Osborne
's
mind
was
changing
was
pretty
clear
.
He
asked
George
about
his
uncle
sometimes
,
and
laughed
at
the
boy
's
imitation
of
the
way
in
which
Jos
said
"
God-bless-my-soul
"
and
gobbled
his
soup
.
Then
he
said
,
"
It
's
not
respectful
,
sir
,
of
you
younkers
to
be
imitating
of
your
relations
.
Miss
O.
,
when
you
go
out
adriving
to-day
,
leave
my
card
upon
Mr.
Sedley
,
do
you
hear
?
There
's
no
quarrel
betwigst
me
and
him
anyhow
.
"
The
card
was
returned
,
and
Jos
and
the
Major
were
asked
to
dinner
--
to
a
dinner
the
most
splendid
and
stupid
that
perhaps
ever
Mr.
Osborne
gave
;
every
inch
of
the
family
plate
was
exhibited
,
and
the
best
company
was
asked
.
Mr.
Sedley
took
down
Miss
O.
to
dinner
,
and
she
was
very
gracious
to
him
;
whereas
she
hardly
spoke
to
the
Major
,
who
sat
apart
from
her
,
and
by
the
side
of
Mr.
Osborne
,
very
timid
.
