And
so
the
schoolmistress
reconciled
the
recommendation
to
her
conscience
,
and
the
indentures
were
cancelled
,
and
the
apprentice
was
free
.
The
battle
here
described
in
a
few
lines
,
of
course
,
lasted
for
some
months
.
And
as
Miss
Sedley
,
being
now
in
her
seventeenth
year
,
was
about
to
leave
school
,
and
had
a
friendship
for
Miss
Sharp
(
"
'
tis
the
only
point
in
Amelia
's
behaviour
,
"
said
Minerva
,
"
which
has
not
been
satisfactory
to
her
mistress
"
)
,
Miss
Sharp
was
invited
by
her
friend
to
pass
a
week
with
her
at
home
,
before
she
entered
upon
her
duties
as
governess
in
a
private
family
.
Thus
the
world
began
for
these
two
young
ladies
.
For
Amelia
it
was
quite
a
new
,
fresh
,
brilliant
world
,
with
all
the
bloom
upon
it
.
It
was
not
quite
a
new
one
for
Rebecca
--
(
indeed
,
if
the
truth
must
be
told
with
respect
to
the
Crisp
affair
,
the
tart-woman
hinted
to
somebody
,
who
took
an
affidavit
of
the
fact
to
somebody
else
,
that
there
was
a
great
deal
more
than
was
made
public
regarding
Mr.
Crisp
and
Miss
Sharp
,
and
that
his
letter
was
in
answer
to
another
letter
)
.
But
who
can
tell
you
the
real
truth
of
the
matter
?
At
all
events
,
if
Rebecca
was
not
beginning
the
world
,
she
was
beginning
it
over
again
.
By
the
time
the
young
ladies
reached
Kensington
turnpike
,
Amelia
had
not
forgotten
her
companions
,
but
had
dried
her
tears
,
and
had
blushed
very
much
and
been
delighted
at
a
young
officer
of
the
Life
Guards
,
who
spied
her
as
he
was
riding
by
,
and
said
,
"
A
dem
fine
gal
,
egad
!
"
and
before
the
carriage
arrived
in
Russell
Square
,
a
great
deal
of
conversation
had
taken
place
about
the
Drawing-room
,
and
whether
or
not
young
ladies
wore
powder
as
well
as
hoops
when
presented
,
and
whether
she
was
to
have
that
honour
:
to
the
Lord
Mayor
's
ball
she
knew
she
was
to
go
.
And
when
at
length
home
was
reached
,
Miss
Amelia
Sedley
skipped
out
on
Sambo
's
arm
,
as
happy
and
as
handsome
a
girl
as
any
in
the
whole
big
city
of
London
.
Both
he
and
coachman
agreed
on
this
point
,
and
so
did
her
father
and
mother
,
and
so
did
every
one
of
the
servants
in
the
house
,
as
they
stood
bobbing
,
and
curtseying
,
and
smiling
,
in
the
hall
to
welcome
their
young
mistress
.
You
may
be
sure
that
she
showed
Rebecca
over
every
room
of
the
house
,
and
everything
in
every
one
of
her
drawers
;
and
her
books
,
and
her
piano
,
and
her
dresses
,
and
all
her
necklaces
,
brooches
,
laces
,
and
gimcracks
.
She
insisted
upon
Rebecca
accepting
the
white
cornelian
and
the
turquoise
rings
,
and
a
sweet
sprigged
muslin
,
which
was
too
small
for
her
now
,
though
it
would
fit
her
friend
to
a
nicety
;
and
she
determined
in
her
heart
to
ask
her
mother
's
permission
to
present
her
white
Cashmere
shawl
to
her
friend
.
Could
she
not
spare
it
?
and
had
not
her
brother
Joseph
just
brought
her
two
from
India
?
When
Rebecca
saw
the
two
magnificent
Cashmere
shawls
which
Joseph
Sedley
had
brought
home
to
his
sister
,
she
said
,
with
perfect
truth
,
"
that
it
must
be
delightful
to
have
a
brother
,
"
and
easily
got
the
pity
of
the
tender-hearted
Amelia
for
being
alone
in
the
world
,
an
orphan
without
friends
or
kindred
.
"
Not
alone
,
"
said
Amelia
;
"
you
know
,
Rebecca
,
I
shall
always
be
your
friend
,
and
love
you
as
a
sister
--
indeed
I
will
.
"
"
Ah
,
but
to
have
parents
,
as
you
have
--
kind
,
rich
,
affectionate
parents
,
who
give
you
everything
you
ask
for
;
and
their
love
,
which
is
more
precious
than
all
!
My
poor
papa
could
give
me
nothing
,
and
I
had
but
two
frocks
in
all
the
world
!
And
then
,
to
have
a
brother
,
a
dear
brother
!
Oh
,
how
you
must
love
him
!
"
Amelia
laughed
.
"
What
!
do
n't
you
love
him
?
you
,
who
say
you
love
everybody
?
"
