"
Good
night
,
"
said
Rawdon
ruefully
.
And
Wenham
walked
away
--
and
Rawdon
Crawley
finished
his
cigar
as
the
cab
drove
under
Temple
Bar
.
When
Lord
Steyne
was
benevolently
disposed
,
he
did
nothing
by
halves
,
and
his
kindness
towards
the
Crawley
family
did
the
greatest
honour
to
his
benevolent
discrimination
.
His
lordship
extended
his
good-will
to
little
Rawdon
:
he
pointed
out
to
the
boy
's
parents
the
necessity
of
sending
him
to
a
public
school
,
that
he
was
of
an
age
now
when
emulation
,
the
first
principles
of
the
Latin
language
,
pugilistic
exercises
,
and
the
society
of
his
fellow-boys
would
be
of
the
greatest
benefit
to
the
boy
.
His
father
objected
that
he
was
not
rich
enough
to
send
the
child
to
a
good
public
school
;
his
mother
that
Briggs
was
a
capital
mistress
for
him
,
and
had
brought
him
on
(
as
indeed
was
the
fact
)
famously
in
English
,
the
Latin
rudiments
,
and
in
general
learning
:
but
all
these
objections
disappeared
before
the
generous
perseverance
of
the
Marquis
of
Steyne
.
His
lordship
was
one
of
the
governors
of
that
famous
old
collegiate
institution
called
the
Whitefriars
.
It
had
been
a
Cistercian
Convent
in
old
days
,
when
the
Smithfield
,
which
is
contiguous
to
it
,
was
a
tournament
ground
.
Obstinate
heretics
used
to
be
brought
thither
convenient
for
burning
hard
by
.
Henry
VIII
,
the
Defender
of
the
Faith
,
seized
upon
the
monastery
and
its
possessions
and
hanged
and
tortured
some
of
the
monks
who
could
not
accommodate
themselves
to
the
pace
of
his
reform
.
Finally
,
a
great
merchant
bought
the
house
and
land
adjoining
,
in
which
,
and
with
the
help
of
other
wealthy
endowments
of
land
and
money
,
he
established
a
famous
foundation
hospital
for
old
men
and
children
.
An
extern
school
grew
round
the
old
almost
monastic
foundation
,
which
subsists
still
with
its
middle-age
costume
and
usages
--
and
all
Cistercians
pray
that
it
may
long
flourish
.
Of
this
famous
house
,
some
of
the
greatest
noblemen
,
prelates
,
and
dignitaries
in
England
are
governors
:
and
as
the
boys
are
very
comfortably
lodged
,
fed
,
and
educated
,
and
subsequently
inducted
to
good
scholarships
at
the
University
and
livings
in
the
Church
,
many
little
gentlemen
are
devoted
to
the
ecclesiastical
profession
from
their
tenderest
years
,
and
there
is
considerable
emulation
to
procure
nominations
for
the
foundation
.
It
was
originally
intended
for
the
sons
of
poor
and
deserving
clerics
and
laics
,
but
many
of
the
noble
governors
of
the
Institution
,
with
an
enlarged
and
rather
capricious
benevolence
,
selected
all
sorts
of
objects
for
their
bounty
.
To
get
an
education
for
nothing
,
and
a
future
livelihood
and
profession
assured
,
was
so
excellent
a
scheme
that
some
of
the
richest
people
did
not
disdain
it
;
and
not
only
great
men
's
relations
,
but
great
men
themselves
,
sent
their
sons
to
profit
by
the
chance
--
Right
Rev.
prelates
sent
their
own
kinsmen
or
the
sons
of
their
clergy
,
while
,
on
the
other
hand
,
some
great
noblemen
did
not
disdain
to
patronize
the
children
of
their
confidential
servants
--
so
that
a
lad
entering
this
establishment
had
every
variety
of
youthful
society
wherewith
to
mingle
.
Rawdon
Crawley
,
though
the
only
book
which
he
studied
was
the
Racing
Calendar
,
and
though
his
chief
recollections
of
polite
learning
were
connected
with
the
floggings
which
he
received
at
Eton
in
his
early
youth
,
had
that
decent
and
honest
reverence
for
classical
learning
which
all
English
gentlemen
feel
,
and
was
glad
to
think
that
his
son
was
to
have
a
provision
for
life
,
perhaps
,
and
a
certain
opportunity
of
becoming
a
scholar
.
And
although
his
boy
was
his
chief
solace
and
companion
,
and
endeared
to
him
by
a
thousand
small
ties
,
about
which
he
did
not
care
to
speak
to
his
wife
,
who
had
all
along
shown
the
utmost
indifference
to
their
son
,
yet
Rawdon
agreed
at
once
to
part
with
him
and
to
give
up
his
own
greatest
comfort
and
benefit
for
the
sake
of
the
welfare
of
the
little
lad
.
He
did
not
know
how
fond
he
was
of
the
child
until
it
became
necessary
to
let
him
go
away
.
When
he
was
gone
,
he
felt
more
sad
and
downcast
than
he
cared
to
own
--
far
sadder
than
the
boy
himself
,
who
was
happy
enough
to
enter
a
new
career
and
find
companions
of
his
own
age
.
Becky
burst
out
laughing
once
or
twice
when
the
Colonel
,
in
his
clumsy
,
incoherent
way
,
tried
to
express
his
sentimental
sorrows
at
the
boy
's
departure
.
The
poor
fellow
felt
that
his
dearest
pleasure
and
closest
friend
was
taken
from
him
.
He
looked
often
and
wistfully
at
the
little
vacant
bed
in
his
dressing-room
,
where
the
child
used
to
sleep
.
He
missed
him
sadly
of
mornings
and
tried
in
vain
to
walk
in
the
park
without
him
.
He
did
not
know
how
solitary
he
was
until
little
Rawdon
was
gone
.
He
liked
the
people
who
were
fond
of
him
,
and
would
go
and
sit
for
long
hours
with
his
good-natured
sister
Lady
Jane
,
and
talk
to
her
about
the
virtues
,
and
good
looks
,
and
hundred
good
qualities
of
the
child
.
Young
Rawdon
's
aunt
,
we
have
said
,
was
very
fond
of
him
,
as
was
her
little
girl
,
who
wept
copiously
when
the
time
for
her
cousin
's
departure
came
.
The
elder
Rawdon
was
thankful
for
the
fondness
of
mother
and
daughter
.
The
very
best
and
honestest
feelings
of
the
man
came
out
in
these
artless
outpourings
of
paternal
feeling
in
which
he
indulged
in
their
presence
,
and
encouraged
by
their
sympathy
.
He
secured
not
only
Lady
Jane
's
kindness
,
but
her
sincere
regard
,
by
the
feelings
which
he
manifested
,
and
which
he
could
not
show
to
his
own
wife
.
The
two
kinswomen
met
as
seldom
as
possible
.
Becky
laughed
bitterly
at
Jane
's
feelings
and
softness
;
the
other
's
kindly
and
gentle
nature
could
not
but
revolt
at
her
sister
's
callous
behaviour
.
It
estranged
Rawdon
from
his
wife
more
than
he
knew
or
acknowledged
to
himself
.
She
did
not
care
for
the
estrangement
.
Indeed
,
she
did
not
miss
him
or
anybody
.
She
looked
upon
him
as
her
errand-man
and
humble
slave
.
He
might
be
ever
so
depressed
or
sulky
,
and
she
did
not
mark
his
demeanour
,
or
only
treated
it
with
a
sneer
.
She
was
busy
thinking
about
her
position
,
or
her
pleasures
,
or
her
advancement
in
society
;
she
ought
to
have
held
a
great
place
in
it
,
that
is
certain
.
It
was
honest
Briggs
who
made
up
the
little
kit
for
the
boy
which
he
was
to
take
to
school
.
Molly
,
the
housemaid
,
blubbered
in
the
passage
when
he
went
away
--
Molly
kind
and
faithful
in
spite
of
a
long
arrear
of
unpaid
wages
.
Mrs.
Becky
could
not
let
her
husband
have
the
carriage
to
take
the
boy
to
school
.
Take
the
horses
into
the
City
!
--
such
a
thing
was
never
heard
of
.
Let
a
cab
be
brought
.
She
did
not
offer
to
kiss
him
when
he
went
,
nor
did
the
child
propose
to
embrace
her
;
but
gave
a
kiss
to
old
Briggs
(
whom
,
in
general
,
he
was
very
shy
of
caressing
)
,
and
consoled
her
by
pointing
out
that
he
was
to
come
home
on
Saturdays
,
when
she
would
have
the
benefit
of
seeing
him
.
As
the
cab
rolled
towards
the
City
,
Becky
's
carriage
rattled
off
to
the
park
.
She
was
chattering
and
laughing
with
a
score
of
young
dandies
by
the
Serpentine
as
the
father
and
son
entered
at
the
old
gates
of
the
school
--
where
Rawdon
left
the
child
and
came
away
with
a
sadder
purer
feeling
in
his
heart
than
perhaps
that
poor
battered
fellow
had
ever
known
since
he
himself
came
out
of
the
nursery
.
