He
was
a
very
kind
old
man
,
Mr.
Sedley
,
"
Rebecca
said
;
"
I
'm
really
sorry
he
's
gone
wrong
.
"
"
O
stockbrokers
--
bankrupts
--
used
to
it
,
you
know
,
"
Rawdon
replied
,
cutting
a
fly
off
the
horse
's
ear
.
"
I
wish
we
could
have
afforded
some
of
the
plate
,
Rawdon
,
"
the
wife
continued
sentimentally
.
"
Five-and-twenty
guineas
was
monstrously
dear
for
that
little
piano
.
We
chose
it
at
Broadwood
's
for
Amelia
,
when
she
came
from
school
.
It
only
cost
five-and-thirty
then
.
"
"
What-d
'
-
ye-call
'em
--
'
Osborne
,
'
will
cry
off
now
,
I
suppose
,
since
the
family
is
smashed
.
How
cut
up
your
pretty
little
friend
will
be
;
hey
,
Becky
?
"
"
I
daresay
she
'll
recover
it
,
"
Becky
said
with
a
smile
--
and
they
drove
on
and
talked
about
something
else
.
Our
surprised
story
now
finds
itself
for
a
moment
among
very
famous
events
and
personages
,
and
hanging
on
to
the
skirts
of
history
.
When
the
eagles
of
Napoleon
Bonaparte
,
the
Corsican
upstart
,
were
flying
from
Provence
,
where
they
had
perched
after
a
brief
sojourn
in
Elba
,
and
from
steeple
to
steeple
until
they
reached
the
towers
of
Notre
Dame
,
I
wonder
whether
the
Imperial
birds
had
any
eye
for
a
little
corner
of
the
parish
of
Bloomsbury
,
London
,
which
you
might
have
thought
so
quiet
,
that
even
the
whirring
and
flapping
of
those
mighty
wings
would
pass
unobserved
there
?
"
Napoleon
has
landed
at
Cannes
.
"
Such
news
might
create
a
panic
at
Vienna
,
and
cause
Russia
to
drop
his
cards
,
and
take
Prussia
into
a
corner
,
and
Talleyrand
and
Metternich
to
wag
their
heads
together
,
while
Prince
Hardenberg
,
and
even
the
present
Marquis
of
Londonderry
,
were
puzzled
;
but
how
was
this
intelligence
to
affect
a
young
lady
in
Russell
Square
,
before
whose
door
the
watchman
sang
the
hours
when
she
was
asleep
:
who
,
if
she
strolled
in
the
square
,
was
guarded
there
by
the
railings
and
the
beadle
:
who
,
if
she
walked
ever
so
short
a
distance
to
buy
a
ribbon
in
Southampton
Row
,
was
followed
by
Black
Sambo
with
an
enormous
cane
:
who
was
always
cared
for
,
dressed
,
put
to
bed
,
and
watched
over
by
ever
so
many
guardian
angels
,
with
and
without
wages
?
Bon
Dieu
,
I
say
,
is
it
not
hard
that
the
fateful
rush
of
the
great
Imperial
struggle
ca
n't
take
place
without
affecting
a
poor
little
harmless
girl
of
eighteen
,
who
is
occupied
in
billing
and
cooing
,
or
working
muslin
collars
in
Russell
Square
?
You
too
,
kindly
,
homely
flower
!
--
is
the
great
roaring
war
tempest
coming
to
sweep
you
down
,
here
,
although
cowering
under
the
shelter
of
Holborn
?
Yes
;
Napoleon
is
flinging
his
last
stake
,
and
poor
little
Emmy
Sedley
's
happiness
forms
,
somehow
,
part
of
it
.
In
the
first
place
,
her
father
's
fortune
was
swept
down
with
that
fatal
news
.
All
his
speculations
had
of
late
gone
wrong
with
the
luckless
old
gentleman
.
Ventures
had
failed
;
merchants
had
broken
;
funds
had
risen
when
he
calculated
they
would
fall
.
What
need
to
particularize
?
If
success
is
rare
and
slow
,
everybody
knows
how
quick
and
easy
ruin
is
.
Old
Sedley
had
kept
his
own
sad
counsel
.
Everything
seemed
to
go
on
as
usual
in
the
quiet
,
opulent
house
;
the
good-natured
mistress
pursuing
,
quite
unsuspiciously
,
her
bustling
idleness
,
and
daily
easy
avocations
;
the
daughter
absorbed
still
in
one
selfish
,
tender
thought
,
and
quite
regardless
of
all
the
world
besides
,
when
that
final
crash
came
,
under
which
the
worthy
family
fell
.
