Last
week
the
keepers
almost
killed
a
bailiff
and
his
man
who
came
down
from
London
to
arrest
the
Captain
,
and
who
were
found
lurking
about
the
Park
wall
--
they
beat
them
,
ducked
them
,
and
were
going
to
shoot
them
for
poachers
,
but
the
baronet
interfered
.
The
Captain
has
a
hearty
contempt
for
his
father
,
I
can
see
,
and
calls
him
an
old
PUT
,
an
old
SNOB
,
an
old
CHAW-BACON
,
and
numberless
other
pretty
names
.
He
has
a
DREADFUL
REPUTATION
among
the
ladies
.
He
brings
his
hunters
home
with
him
,
lives
with
the
Squires
of
the
county
,
asks
whom
he
pleases
to
dinner
,
and
Sir
Pitt
dares
not
say
no
,
for
fear
of
offending
Miss
Crawley
,
and
missing
his
legacy
when
she
dies
of
her
apoplexy
.
Shall
I
tell
you
a
compliment
the
Captain
paid
me
?
I
must
,
it
is
so
pretty
.
One
evening
we
actually
had
a
dance
;
there
was
Sir
Huddleston
Fuddleston
and
his
family
,
Sir
Giles
Wapshot
and
his
young
ladies
,
and
I
do
n't
know
how
many
more
.
Well
,
I
heard
him
say
--
"
By
Jove
,
she
's
a
neat
little
filly
!
"
meaning
your
humble
servant
;
and
he
did
me
the
honour
to
dance
two
country-dances
with
me
.
He
gets
on
pretty
gaily
with
the
young
Squires
,
with
whom
he
drinks
,
bets
,
rides
,
and
talks
about
hunting
and
shooting
;
but
he
says
the
country
girls
are
BORES
;
indeed
,
I
do
n't
think
he
is
far
wrong
.
You
should
see
the
contempt
with
which
they
look
down
on
poor
me
!
When
they
dance
I
sit
and
play
the
piano
very
demurely
;
but
the
other
night
,
coming
in
rather
flushed
from
the
dining-room
,
and
seeing
me
employed
in
this
way
,
he
swore
out
loud
that
I
was
the
best
dancer
in
the
room
,
and
took
a
great
oath
that
he
would
have
the
fiddlers
from
Mudbury
.
"
I
'll
go
and
play
a
country-dance
,
"
said
Mrs.
Bute
Crawley
,
very
readily
(
she
is
a
little
,
black-faced
old
woman
in
a
turban
,
rather
crooked
,
and
with
very
twinkling
eyes
)
;
and
after
the
Captain
and
your
poor
little
Rebecca
had
performed
a
dance
together
,
do
you
know
she
actually
did
me
the
honour
to
compliment
me
upon
my
steps
!
Such
a
thing
was
never
heard
of
before
;
the
proud
Mrs.
Bute
Crawley
,
first
cousin
to
the
Earl
of
Tiptoff
,
who
wo
n't
condescend
to
visit
Lady
Crawley
,
except
when
her
sister
is
in
the
country
.
Poor
Lady
Crawley
!
during
most
part
of
these
gaieties
,
she
is
upstairs
taking
pills
.
Mrs.
Bute
has
all
of
a
sudden
taken
a
great
fancy
to
me
.
"
My
dear
Miss
Sharp
,
"
she
says
,
"
why
not
bring
over
your
girls
to
the
Rectory
?
--
their
cousins
will
be
so
happy
to
see
them
.
"
I
know
what
she
means
.
Signor
Clementi
did
not
teach
us
the
piano
for
nothing
;
at
which
price
Mrs.
Bute
hopes
to
get
a
professor
for
her
children
.
I
can
see
through
her
schemes
,
as
though
she
told
them
to
me
;
but
I
shall
go
,
as
I
am
determined
to
make
myself
agreeable
--
is
it
not
a
poor
governess
's
duty
,
who
has
not
a
friend
or
protector
in
the
world
?
The
Rector
's
wife
paid
me
a
score
of
compliments
about
the
progress
my
pupils
made
,
and
thought
,
no
doubt
,
to
touch
my
heart
--
poor
,
simple
,
country
soul
!
--
as
if
I
cared
a
fig
about
my
pupils
!
Your
India
muslin
and
your
pink
silk
,
dearest
Amelia
,
are
said
to
become
me
very
well
.
They
are
a
good
deal
worn
now
;
but
,
you
know
,
we
poor
girls
ca
n't
afford
des
fraiches
toilettes
.
Happy
,
happy
you
!
who
have
but
to
drive
to
St.
James
's
Street
,
and
a
dear
mother
who
will
give
you
any
thing
you
ask
.
Farewell
,
dearest
girl
,
Your
affectionate
Rebecca
.
P.S.
--
I
wish
you
could
have
seen
the
faces
of
the
Miss
Blackbrooks
(
Admiral
Blackbrook
's
daughters
,
my
dear
)
,
fine
young
ladies
,
with
dresses
from
London
,
when
Captain
Rawdon
selected
poor
me
for
a
partner
!
When
Mrs.
Bute
Crawley
(
whose
artifices
our
ingenious
Rebecca
had
so
soon
discovered
)
had
procured
from
Miss
Sharp
the
promise
of
a
visit
,
she
induced
the
all-powerful
Miss
Crawley
to
make
the
necessary
application
to
Sir
Pitt
,
and
the
good-natured
old
lady
,
who
loved
to
be
gay
herself
,
and
to
see
every
one
gay
and
happy
round
about
her
,
was
quite
charmed
,
and
ready
to
establish
a
reconciliation
and
intimacy
between
her
two
brothers
.
