Osborne
was
Sedley
's
godson
,
and
had
been
one
of
the
family
any
time
these
three-and-twenty
years
.
At
six
weeks
old
,
he
had
received
from
John
Sedley
a
present
of
a
silver
cup
;
at
six
months
old
,
a
coral
with
gold
whistle
and
bells
;
from
his
youth
upwards
he
was
"
tipped
"
regularly
by
the
old
gentleman
at
Christmas
:
and
on
going
back
to
school
,
he
remembered
perfectly
well
being
thrashed
by
Joseph
Sedley
,
when
the
latter
was
a
big
,
swaggering
hobbadyhoy
,
and
George
an
impudent
urchin
of
ten
years
old
.
In
a
word
,
George
was
as
familiar
with
the
family
as
such
daily
acts
of
kindness
and
intercourse
could
make
him
.
"
Do
you
remember
,
Sedley
,
what
a
fury
you
were
in
,
when
I
cut
off
the
tassels
of
your
Hessian
boots
,
and
how
Miss
--
hem
!
--
how
Amelia
rescued
me
from
a
beating
,
by
falling
down
on
her
knees
and
crying
out
to
her
brother
Jos
,
not
to
beat
little
George
?
"
Jos
remembered
this
remarkable
circumstance
perfectly
well
,
but
vowed
that
he
had
totally
forgotten
it
.
"
Well
,
do
you
remember
coming
down
in
a
gig
to
Dr.
Swishtail
's
to
see
me
,
before
you
went
to
India
,
and
giving
me
half
a
guinea
and
a
pat
on
the
head
?
I
always
had
an
idea
that
you
were
at
least
seven
feet
high
,
and
was
quite
astonished
at
your
return
from
India
to
find
you
no
taller
than
myself
.
"
"
How
good
of
Mr.
Sedley
to
go
to
your
school
and
give
you
the
money
!
"
exclaimed
Rebecca
,
in
accents
of
extreme
delight
.
"
Yes
,
and
after
I
had
cut
the
tassels
of
his
boots
too
.
Boys
never
forget
those
tips
at
school
,
nor
the
givers
.
"
"
I
delight
in
Hessian
boots
,
"
said
Rebecca
.
Jos
Sedley
,
who
admired
his
own
legs
prodigiously
,
and
always
wore
this
ornamental
chaussure
,
was
extremely
pleased
at
this
remark
,
though
he
drew
his
legs
under
his
chair
as
it
was
made
.
"
Miss
Sharp
!
"
said
George
Osborne
,
"
you
who
are
so
clever
an
artist
,
you
must
make
a
grand
historical
picture
of
the
scene
of
the
boots
.
Sedley
shall
be
represented
in
buckskins
,
and
holding
one
of
the
injured
boots
in
one
hand
;
by
the
other
he
shall
have
hold
of
my
shirt-frill
.
Amelia
shall
be
kneeling
near
him
,
with
her
little
hands
up
;
and
the
picture
shall
have
a
grand
allegorical
title
,
as
the
frontispieces
have
in
the
Medulla
and
the
spelling-book
.
