But
as
we
are
to
see
a
great
deal
of
Amelia
,
there
is
no
harm
in
saying
,
at
the
outset
of
our
acquaintance
,
that
she
was
a
dear
little
creature
;
and
a
great
mercy
it
is
,
both
in
life
and
in
novels
,
which
(
and
the
latter
especially
)
abound
in
villains
of
the
most
sombre
sort
,
that
we
are
to
have
for
a
constant
companion
so
guileless
and
good-natured
a
person
.
As
she
is
not
a
heroine
,
there
is
no
need
to
describe
her
person
;
indeed
I
am
afraid
that
her
nose
was
rather
short
than
otherwise
,
and
her
cheeks
a
great
deal
too
round
and
red
for
a
heroine
;
but
her
face
blushed
with
rosy
health
,
and
her
lips
with
the
freshest
of
smiles
,
and
she
had
a
pair
of
eyes
which
sparkled
with
the
brightest
and
honestest
good-humour
,
except
indeed
when
they
filled
with
tears
,
and
that
was
a
great
deal
too
often
;
for
the
silly
thing
would
cry
over
a
dead
canary-bird
;
or
over
a
mouse
,
that
the
cat
haply
had
seized
upon
;
or
over
the
end
of
a
novel
,
were
it
ever
so
stupid
;
and
as
for
saying
an
unkind
word
to
her
,
were
any
persons
hard-hearted
enough
to
do
so
--
why
,
so
much
the
worse
for
them
.
Even
Miss
Pinkerton
,
that
austere
and
godlike
woman
,
ceased
scolding
her
after
the
first
time
,
and
though
she
no
more
comprehended
sensibility
than
she
did
Algebra
,
gave
all
masters
and
teachers
particular
orders
to
treat
Miss
Sedley
with
the
utmost
gentleness
,
as
harsh
treatment
was
injurious
to
her
.
So
that
when
the
day
of
departure
came
,
between
her
two
customs
of
laughing
and
crying
,
Miss
Sedley
was
greatly
puzzled
how
to
act
.
She
was
glad
to
go
home
,
and
yet
most
woefully
sad
at
leaving
school
.
For
three
days
before
,
little
Laura
Martin
,
the
orphan
,
followed
her
about
like
a
little
dog
.
She
had
to
make
and
receive
at
least
fourteen
presents
--
to
make
fourteen
solemn
promises
of
writing
every
week
:
"
Send
my
letters
under
cover
to
my
grandpapa
,
the
Earl
of
Dexter
,
"
said
Miss
Saltire
(
who
,
by
the
way
,
was
rather
shabby
)
.
"
Never
mind
the
postage
,
but
write
every
day
,
you
dear
darling
,
"
said
the
impetuous
and
woolly-headed
,
but
generous
and
affectionate
Miss
Swartz
;
and
the
orphan
little
Laura
Martin
(
who
was
just
in
round-hand
)
,
took
her
friend
's
hand
and
said
,
looking
up
in
her
face
wistfully
,
"
Amelia
,
when
I
write
to
you
I
shall
call
you
Mamma
.
"
All
which
details
,
I
have
no
doubt
,
JONES
,
who
reads
this
book
at
his
Club
,
will
pronounce
to
be
excessively
foolish
,
trivial
,
twaddling
,
and
ultra-sentimental
.
Yes
;
I
can
see
Jones
at
this
minute
(
rather
flushed
with
his
joint
of
mutton
and
half
pint
of
wine
)
,
taking
out
his
pencil
and
scoring
under
the
words
"
foolish
,
twaddling
,
"
&
c.
,
and
adding
to
them
his
own
remark
of
"
QUITE
TRUE
.
"
Well
,
he
is
a
lofty
man
of
genius
,
and
admires
the
great
and
heroic
in
life
and
novels
;
and
so
had
better
take
warning
and
go
elsewhere
.
Well
,
then
.
The
flowers
,
and
the
presents
,
and
the
trunks
,
and
bonnet-boxes
of
Miss
Sedley
having
been
arranged
by
Mr.
Sambo
in
the
carriage
,
together
with
a
very
small
and
weather-beaten
old
cow
's
-
skin
trunk
with
Miss
Sharp
's
card
neatly
nailed
upon
it
,
which
was
delivered
by
Sambo
with
a
grin
,
and
packed
by
the
coachman
with
a
corresponding
sneer
--
the
hour
for
parting
came
;
and
the
grief
of
that
moment
was
considerably
lessened
by
the
admirable
discourse
which
Miss
Pinkerton
addressed
to
her
pupil
.
Not
that
the
parting
speech
caused
Amelia
to
philosophise
,
or
that
it
armed
her
in
any
way
with
a
calmness
,
the
result
of
argument
;
but
it
was
intolerably
dull
,
pompous
,
and
tedious
;
and
having
the
fear
of
her
schoolmistress
greatly
before
her
eyes
,
Miss
Sedley
did
not
venture
,
in
her
presence
,
to
give
way
to
any
ebullitions
of
private
grief
.
A
seed-cake
and
a
bottle
of
wine
were
produced
in
the
drawing-room
,
as
on
the
solemn
occasions
of
the
visits
of
parents
,
and
these
refreshments
being
partaken
of
,
Miss
Sedley
was
at
liberty
to
depart
.
"
You
'll
go
in
and
say
good-by
to
Miss
Pinkerton
,
Becky
!
"
said
Miss
Jemima
to
a
young
lady
of
whom
nobody
took
any
notice
,
and
who
was
coming
downstairs
with
her
own
bandbox
.
"
I
suppose
I
must
,
"
said
Miss
Sharp
calmly
,
and
much
to
the
wonder
of
Miss
Jemima
;
and
the
latter
having
knocked
at
the
door
,
and
receiving
permission
to
come
in
,
Miss
Sharp
advanced
in
a
very
unconcerned
manner
,
and
said
in
French
,
and
with
a
perfect
accent
,
"
Mademoiselle
,
je
viens
vous
faire
mes
adieux
"
Miss
Pinkerton
did
not
understand
French
;
she
only
directed
those
who
did
:
but
biting
her
lips
and
throwing
up
her
venerable
and
Roman-nosed
head
(
on
the
top
of
which
figured
a
large
and
solemn
turban
)
,
she
said
,
"
Miss
Sharp
,
I
wish
you
a
good
morning
.
"
As
the
Hammersmith
Semiramis
spoke
,
she
waved
one
hand
,
both
by
way
of
adieu
,
and
to
give
Miss
Sharp
an
opportunity
of
shaking
one
of
the
fingers
of
the
hand
which
was
left
out
for
that
purpose
.
Miss
Sharp
only
folded
her
own
hands
with
a
very
frigid
smile
and
bow
,
and
quite
declined
to
accept
the
proffered
honour
;
on
which
Semiramis
tossed
up
her
turban
more
indignantly
than
ever
.
In
fact
,
it
was
a
little
battle
between
the
young
lady
and
the
old
one
,
and
the
latter
was
worsted
.
"
Heaven
bless
you
,
my
child
,
"
said
she
,
embracing
Amelia
,
and
scowling
the
while
over
the
girl
's
shoulder
at
Miss
Sharp
.
"
Come
away
,
Becky
,
"
said
Miss
Jemima
,
pulling
the
young
woman
away
in
great
alarm
,
and
the
drawing-room
door
closed
upon
them
for
ever
.
Then
came
the
struggle
and
parting
below
.
Words
refuse
to
tell
it
.
