Jos
said
,
with
great
solemnity
,
it
was
the
best
turtle
soup
he
had
ever
tasted
in
his
life
,
and
asked
Mr.
Osborne
where
he
got
his
Madeira
.
"
It
is
some
of
Sedley
's
wine
,
"
whispered
the
butler
to
his
master
.
"
I
've
had
it
a
long
time
,
and
paid
a
good
figure
for
it
,
too
,
"
Mr.
Osborne
said
aloud
to
his
guest
,
and
then
whispered
to
his
right-hand
neighbour
how
he
had
got
it
"
at
the
old
chap
's
sale
.
"
More
than
once
he
asked
the
Major
about
--
about
Mrs.
George
Osborne
--
a
theme
on
which
the
Major
could
be
very
eloquent
when
he
chose
.
He
told
Mr.
Osborne
of
her
sufferings
--
of
her
passionate
attachment
to
her
husband
,
whose
memory
she
worshipped
still
--
of
the
tender
and
dutiful
manner
in
which
she
had
supported
her
parents
,
and
given
up
her
boy
,
when
it
seemed
to
her
her
duty
to
do
so
.
"
You
do
n't
know
what
she
endured
,
sir
,
"
said
honest
Dobbin
with
a
tremor
in
his
voice
,
"
and
I
hope
and
trust
you
will
be
reconciled
to
her
.
If
she
took
your
son
away
from
you
,
she
gave
hers
to
you
;
and
however
much
you
loved
your
George
,
depend
on
it
,
she
loved
hers
ten
times
more
.
"
"
By
God
,
you
are
a
good
feller
,
sir
,
"
was
all
Mr.
Osborne
said
.
It
had
never
struck
him
that
the
widow
would
feel
any
pain
at
parting
from
the
boy
,
or
that
his
having
a
fine
fortune
could
grieve
her
.
A
reconciliation
was
announced
as
speedy
and
inevitable
,
and
Amelia
's
heart
already
began
to
beat
at
the
notion
of
the
awful
meeting
with
George
's
father
.
It
was
never
,
however
,
destined
to
take
place
.
Old
Sedley
's
lingering
illness
and
death
supervened
,
after
which
a
meeting
was
for
some
time
impossible
.
That
catastrophe
and
other
events
may
have
worked
upon
Mr.
Osborne
.
He
was
much
shaken
of
late
,
and
aged
,
and
his
mind
was
working
inwardly
.
He
had
sent
for
his
lawyers
,
and
probably
changed
something
in
his
will
.
The
medical
man
who
looked
in
pronounced
him
shaky
,
agitated
,
and
talked
of
a
little
blood
and
the
seaside
;
but
he
took
neither
of
these
remedies
.
One
day
when
he
should
have
come
down
to
breakfast
,
his
servant
missing
him
,
went
into
his
dressing-room
and
found
him
lying
at
the
foot
of
the
dressing-table
in
a
fit
.
Miss
Osborne
was
apprised
;
the
doctors
were
sent
for
;
Georgy
stopped
away
from
school
;
the
bleeders
and
cuppers
came
.
Osborne
partially
regained
cognizance
,
but
never
could
speak
again
,
though
he
tried
dreadfully
once
or
twice
,
and
in
four
days
he
died
.
The
doctors
went
down
,
and
the
undertaker
's
men
went
up
the
stairs
,
and
all
the
shutters
were
shut
towards
the
garden
in
Russell
Square
.
Bullock
rushed
from
the
City
in
a
hurry
.
"
How
much
money
had
he
left
to
that
boy
?
Not
half
,
surely
?
Surely
share
and
share
alike
between
the
three
?
"
It
was
an
agitating
moment
.
What
was
it
that
poor
old
man
tried
once
or
twice
in
vain
to
say
?
I
hope
it
was
that
he
wanted
to
see
Amelia
and
be
reconciled
before
he
left
the
world
to
one
dear
and
faithful
wife
of
his
son
:
it
was
most
likely
that
,
for
his
will
showed
that
the
hatred
which
he
had
so
long
cherished
had
gone
out
of
his
heart
.
They
found
in
the
pocket
of
his
dressing-gown
the
letter
with
the
great
red
seal
which
George
had
written
him
from
Waterloo
.
He
had
looked
at
the
other
papers
too
,
relative
to
his
son
,
for
the
key
of
the
box
in
which
he
kept
them
was
also
in
his
pocket
,
and
it
was
found
the
seals
and
envelopes
had
been
broken
--
very
likely
on
the
night
before
the
seizure
--
when
the
butler
had
taken
him
tea
into
his
study
,
and
found
him
reading
in
the
great
red
family
Bible
.
When
the
will
was
opened
,
it
was
found
that
half
the
property
was
left
to
George
,
and
the
remainder
between
the
two
sisters
.
Mr.
Bullock
to
continue
,
for
their
joint
benefit
,
the
affairs
of
the
commercial
house
,
or
to
go
out
,
as
he
thought
fit
.
An
annuity
of
five
hundred
pounds
,
chargeable
on
George
's
property
,
was
left
to
his
mother
,
"
the
widow
of
my
beloved
son
,
George
Osborne
,
"
who
was
to
resume
the
guardianship
of
the
boy
.
