Perhaps
the
insults
of
the
men
were
not
,
however
,
so
intolerable
to
her
as
the
sympathy
of
certain
women
.
Mrs.
Crackenbury
and
Mrs.
Washington
White
passed
through
Boulogne
on
their
way
to
Switzerland
.
The
party
were
protected
by
Colonel
Horner
,
young
Beaumoris
,
and
of
course
old
Crackenbury
,
and
Mrs.
White
's
little
girl
.
THEY
did
not
avoid
her
.
They
giggled
,
cackled
,
tattled
,
condoled
,
consoled
,
and
patronized
her
until
they
drove
her
almost
wild
with
rage
.
To
be
patronized
by
THEM
!
she
thought
,
as
they
went
away
simpering
after
kissing
her
.
And
she
heard
Beaumoris
's
laugh
ringing
on
the
stair
and
knew
quite
well
how
to
interpret
his
hilarity
.
It
was
after
this
visit
that
Becky
,
who
had
paid
her
weekly
bills
,
Becky
who
had
made
herself
agreeable
to
everybody
in
the
house
,
who
smiled
at
the
landlady
,
called
the
waiters
"
monsieur
,
"
and
paid
the
chambermaids
in
politeness
and
apologies
,
what
far
more
than
compensated
for
a
little
niggardliness
in
point
of
money
(
of
which
Becky
never
was
free
)
,
that
Becky
,
we
say
,
received
a
notice
to
quit
from
the
landlord
,
who
had
been
told
by
some
one
that
she
was
quite
an
unfit
person
to
have
at
his
hotel
,
where
English
ladies
would
not
sit
down
with
her
.
And
she
was
forced
to
fly
into
lodgings
of
which
the
dulness
and
solitude
were
most
wearisome
to
her
.
Still
she
held
up
,
in
spite
of
these
rebuffs
,
and
tried
to
make
a
character
for
herself
and
conquer
scandal
.
She
went
to
church
very
regularly
and
sang
louder
than
anybody
there
.
She
took
up
the
cause
of
the
widows
of
the
shipwrecked
fishermen
,
and
gave
work
and
drawings
for
the
Quashyboo
Mission
;
she
subscribed
to
the
Assembly
and
WOULD
N'T
waltz
.
In
a
word
,
she
did
everything
that
was
respectable
,
and
that
is
why
we
dwell
upon
this
part
of
her
career
with
more
fondness
than
upon
subsequent
parts
of
her
history
,
which
are
not
so
pleasant
.
She
saw
people
avoiding
her
,
and
still
laboriously
smiled
upon
them
;
you
never
could
suppose
from
her
countenance
what
pangs
of
humiliation
she
might
be
enduring
inwardly
.
Her
history
was
after
all
a
mystery
.
Parties
were
divided
about
her
.
Some
people
who
took
the
trouble
to
busy
themselves
in
the
matter
said
that
she
was
the
criminal
,
whilst
others
vowed
that
she
was
as
innocent
as
a
lamb
and
that
her
odious
husband
was
in
fault
.
She
won
over
a
good
many
by
bursting
into
tears
about
her
boy
and
exhibiting
the
most
frantic
grief
when
his
name
was
mentioned
,
or
she
saw
anybody
like
him
.
She
gained
good
Mrs.
Alderney
's
heart
in
that
way
,
who
was
rather
the
Queen
of
British
Boulogne
and
gave
the
most
dinners
and
balls
of
all
the
residents
there
,
by
weeping
when
Master
Alderney
came
from
Dr.
Swishtail
's
academy
to
pass
his
holidays
with
his
mother
.
"
He
and
her
Rawdon
were
of
the
same
age
,
and
so
like
,
"
Becky
said
in
a
voice
choking
with
agony
;
whereas
there
was
five
years
'
difference
between
the
boys
'
ages
,
and
no
more
likeness
between
them
than
between
my
respected
reader
and
his
humble
servant
.
Wenham
,
when
he
was
going
abroad
,
on
his
way
to
Kissingen
to
join
Lord
Steyne
,
enlightened
Mrs.
Alderney
on
this
point
and
told
her
how
he
was
much
more
able
to
describe
little
Rawdon
than
his
mamma
,
who
notoriously
hated
him
and
never
saw
him
;
how
he
was
thirteen
years
old
,
while
little
Alderney
was
but
nine
,
fair
,
while
the
other
darling
was
dark
--
in
a
word
,
caused
the
lady
in
question
to
repent
of
her
good
humour
.
Whenever
Becky
made
a
little
circle
for
herself
with
incredible
toils
and
labour
,
somebody
came
and
swept
it
down
rudely
,
and
she
had
all
her
work
to
begin
over
again
.
It
was
very
hard
;
very
hard
;
lonely
and
disheartening
.
There
was
Mrs.
Newbright
,
who
took
her
up
for
some
time
,
attracted
by
the
sweetness
of
her
singing
at
church
and
by
her
proper
views
upon
serious
subjects
,
concerning
which
in
former
days
,
at
Queen
's
Crawley
,
Mrs.
Becky
had
had
a
good
deal
of
instruction
.
Well
,
she
not
only
took
tracts
,
but
she
read
them
.
She
worked
flannel
petticoats
for
the
Quashyboos
--
cotton
night-caps
for
the
Cocoanut
Indians
--
painted
handscreens
for
the
conversion
of
the
Pope
and
the
Jews
--
sat
under
Mr.
Rowls
on
Wednesdays
,
Mr.
Huggleton
on
Thursdays
,
attended
two
Sunday
services
at
church
,
besides
Mr.
Bawler
,
the
Darbyite
,
in
the
evening
,
and
all
in
vain
.
Mrs.
Newbright
had
occasion
to
correspond
with
the
Countess
of
Southdown
about
the
Warmingpan
Fund
for
the
Fiji
Islanders
(
for
the
management
of
which
admirable
charity
both
these
ladies
formed
part
of
a
female
committee
)
,
and
having
mentioned
her
"
sweet
friend
,
"
Mrs.
Rawdon
Crawley
,
the
Dowager
Countess
wrote
back
such
a
letter
regarding
Becky
,
with
such
particulars
,
hints
,
facts
,
falsehoods
,
and
general
comminations
,
that
intimacy
between
Mrs.
Newbright
and
Mrs.
Crawley
ceased
forthwith
,
and
all
the
serious
world
of
Tours
,
where
this
misfortune
took
place
,
immediately
parted
company
with
the
reprobate
.
Those
who
know
the
English
Colonies
abroad
know
that
we
carry
with
us
us
our
pride
,
pills
,
prejudices
,
Harvey-sauces
,
cayenne-peppers
,
and
other
Lares
,
making
a
little
Britain
wherever
we
settle
down
.
From
one
colony
to
another
Becky
fled
uneasily
.
From
Boulogne
to
Dieppe
,
from
Dieppe
to
Caen
,
from
Caen
to
Tours
--
trying
with
all
her
might
to
be
respectable
,
and
alas
!
always
found
out
some
day
or
other
and
pecked
out
of
the
cage
by
the
real
daws
.
Mrs.
Hook
Eagles
took
her
up
at
one
of
these
places
--
a
woman
without
a
blemish
in
her
character
and
a
house
in
Portman
Square
.
She
was
staying
at
the
hotel
at
Dieppe
,
whither
Becky
fled
,
and
they
made
each
other
's
acquaintance
first
at
sea
,
where
they
were
swimming
together
,
and
subsequently
at
the
table
d'hote
of
the
hotel
.
Mrs
Eagles
had
heard
--
who
indeed
had
not
?
--
some
of
the
scandal
of
the
Steyne
affair
;
but
after
a
conversation
with
Becky
,
she
pronounced
that
Mrs.
