Perhaps
he
felt
that
he
would
have
liked
to
have
something
on
his
own
arm
besides
a
shawl
(
the
people
laughed
at
seeing
the
gawky
young
officer
carrying
this
female
burthen
)
;
but
William
Dobbin
was
very
little
addicted
to
selfish
calculation
at
all
;
and
so
long
as
his
friend
was
enjoying
himself
,
how
should
he
be
discontented
?
And
the
truth
is
,
that
of
all
the
delights
of
the
Gardens
;
of
the
hundred
thousand
extra
lamps
,
which
were
always
lighted
;
the
fiddlers
in
cocked
hats
,
who
played
ravishing
melodies
under
the
gilded
cockle-shell
in
the
midst
of
the
gardens
;
the
singers
,
both
of
comic
and
sentimental
ballads
,
who
charmed
the
ears
there
;
the
country
dances
,
formed
by
bouncing
cockneys
and
cockneyesses
,
and
executed
amidst
jumping
,
thumping
and
laughter
;
the
signal
which
announced
that
Madame
Saqui
was
about
to
mount
skyward
on
a
slack-rope
ascending
to
the
stars
;
the
hermit
that
always
sat
in
the
illuminated
hermitage
;
the
dark
walks
,
so
favourable
to
the
interviews
of
young
lovers
;
the
pots
of
stout
handed
about
by
the
people
in
the
shabby
old
liveries
;
and
the
twinkling
boxes
,
in
which
the
happy
feasters
made-believe
to
eat
slices
of
almost
invisible
ham
--
of
all
these
things
,
and
of
the
gentle
Simpson
,
that
kind
smiling
idiot
,
who
,
I
daresay
,
presided
even
then
over
the
place
--
Captain
William
Dobbin
did
not
take
the
slightest
notice
.
He
carried
about
Amelia
's
white
cashmere
shawl
,
and
having
attended
under
the
gilt
cockle-shell
,
while
Mrs.
Salmon
performed
the
Battle
of
Borodino
(
a
savage
cantata
against
the
Corsican
upstart
,
who
had
lately
met
with
his
Russian
reverses
)
--
Mr.
Dobbin
tried
to
hum
it
as
he
walked
away
,
and
found
he
was
humming
--
the
tune
which
Amelia
Sedley
sang
on
the
stairs
,
as
she
came
down
to
dinner
.
He
burst
out
laughing
at
himself
;
for
the
truth
is
,
he
could
sing
no
better
than
an
owl
.
It
is
to
be
understood
,
as
a
matter
of
course
,
that
our
young
people
,
being
in
parties
of
two
and
two
,
made
the
most
solemn
promises
to
keep
together
during
the
evening
,
and
separated
in
ten
minutes
afterwards
.
Parties
at
Vauxhall
always
did
separate
,
but
'
twas
only
to
meet
again
at
supper-time
,
when
they
could
talk
of
their
mutual
adventures
in
the
interval
.
What
were
the
adventures
of
Mr.
Osborne
and
Miss
Amelia
?
That
is
a
secret
.
But
be
sure
of
this
--
they
were
perfectly
happy
,
and
correct
in
their
behaviour
;
and
as
they
had
been
in
the
habit
of
being
together
any
time
these
fifteen
years
,
their
tete-a-tete
offered
no
particular
novelty
.
But
when
Miss
Rebecca
Sharp
and
her
stout
companion
lost
themselves
in
a
solitary
walk
,
in
which
there
were
not
above
five
score
more
of
couples
similarly
straying
,
they
both
felt
that
the
situation
was
extremely
tender
and
critical
,
and
now
or
never
was
the
moment
Miss
Sharp
thought
,
to
provoke
that
declaration
which
was
trembling
on
the
timid
lips
of
Mr.
Sedley
.
They
had
previously
been
to
the
panorama
of
Moscow
,
where
a
rude
fellow
,
treading
on
Miss
Sharp
's
foot
,
caused
her
to
fall
back
with
a
little
shriek
into
the
arms
of
Mr.
Sedley
,
and
this
little
incident
increased
the
tenderness
and
confidence
of
that
gentleman
to
such
a
degree
,
that
he
told
her
several
of
his
favourite
Indian
stories
over
again
for
,
at
least
,
the
sixth
time
.
"
How
I
should
like
to
see
India
!
"
said
Rebecca
.
"
SHOULD
you
?
"
said
Joseph
,
with
a
most
killing
tenderness
;
and
was
no
doubt
about
to
follow
up
this
artful
interrogatory
by
a
question
still
more
tender
(
for
he
puffed
and
panted
a
great
deal
,
and
Rebecca
's
hand
,
which
was
placed
near
his
heart
,
could
count
the
feverish
pulsations
of
that
organ
)
,
when
,
oh
,
provoking
!
the
bell
rang
for
the
fireworks
,
and
,
a
great
scuffling
and
running
taking
place
,
these
interesting
lovers
were
obliged
to
follow
in
the
stream
of
people
.
