Everybody
knows
the
melancholy
end
of
that
nobleman
,
which
befell
at
Naples
two
months
after
the
French
Revolution
of
1830
;
when
the
Most
Honourable
George
Gustavus
,
Marquis
of
Steyne
,
Earl
of
Gaunt
and
of
Gaunt
Castle
,
in
the
Peerage
of
Ireland
,
Viscount
Hellborough
,
Baron
Pitchley
and
Grillsby
,
a
Knight
of
the
Most
Noble
Order
of
the
Garter
,
of
the
Golden
Fleece
of
Spain
,
of
the
Russian
Order
of
Saint
Nicholas
of
the
First
Class
,
of
the
Turkish
Order
of
the
Crescent
,
First
Lord
of
the
Powder
Closet
and
Groom
of
the
Back
Stairs
,
Colonel
of
the
Gaunt
or
Regent
's
Own
Regiment
of
Militia
,
a
Trustee
of
the
British
Museum
,
an
Elder
Brother
of
the
Trinity
House
,
a
Governor
of
the
White
Friars
,
and
D.C.L.
--
died
after
a
series
of
fits
brought
on
,
as
the
papers
said
,
by
the
shock
occasioned
to
his
lordship
's
sensibilities
by
the
downfall
of
the
ancient
French
monarchy
An
eloquent
catalogue
appeared
in
a
weekly
print
,
describing
his
virtues
,
his
magnificence
,
his
talents
,
and
his
good
actions
.
His
sensibility
,
his
attachment
to
the
illustrious
House
of
Bourbon
,
with
which
he
claimed
an
alliance
,
were
such
that
he
could
not
survive
the
misfortunes
of
his
august
kinsmen
.
His
body
was
buried
at
Naples
,
and
his
heart
--
that
heart
which
always
beat
with
every
generous
and
noble
emotion
was
brought
back
to
Castle
Gaunt
in
a
silver
urn
.
"
In
him
,
"
Mr.
Wagg
said
,
"
the
poor
and
the
Fine
Arts
have
lost
a
beneficent
patron
,
society
one
of
its
most
brilliant
ornaments
,
and
England
one
of
her
loftiest
patriots
and
statesmen
,
"

His
will
was
a
good
deal
disputed
,
and
an
attempt
was
made
to
force
from
Madame
de
Belladonna
the
celebrated
jewel
called
the
"
Jew
's
-
eye
"
diamond
,
which
his
lordship
always
wore
on
his
forefinger
,
and
which
it
was
said
that
she
removed
from
it
after
his
lamented
demise
.
But
his
confidential
friend
and
attendant
,
Monsieur
Fiche
proved
that
the
ring
had
been
presented
to
the
said
Madame
de
Belladonna
two
days
before
the
Marquis
's
death
,
as
were
the
bank-notes
,
jewels
,
Neapolitan
and
French
bonds
,
&
c.
,
found
in
his
lordship
's
secretaire
and
claimed
by
his
heirs
from
that
injured
woman
.
The
day
after
the
meeting
at
the
play-table
,
Jos
had
himself
arrayed
with
unusual
care
and
splendour
,
and
without
thinking
it
necessary
to
say
a
word
to
any
member
of
his
family
regarding
the
occurrences
of
the
previous
night
,
or
asking
for
their
company
in
his
walk
,
he
sallied
forth
at
an
early
hour
,
and
was
presently
seen
making
inquiries
at
the
door
of
the
Elephant
Hotel
.
In
consequence
of
the
fetes
the
house
was
full
of
company
,
the
tables
in
the
street
were
already
surrounded
by
persons
smoking
and
drinking
the
national
small-beer
,
the
public
rooms
were
in
a
cloud
of
smoke
,
and
Mr.
Jos
having
,
in
his
pompous
way
,
and
with
his
clumsy
German
,
made
inquiries
for
the
person
of
whom
he
was
in
search
,
was
directed
to
the
very
top
of
the
house
,
above
the
first-floor
rooms
where
some
travelling
pedlars
had
lived
,
and
were
exhibiting
their
jewellery
and
brocades
;
above
the
second-floor
apartments
occupied
by
the
etat
major
of
the
gambling
firm
;
above
the
third-floor
rooms
,
tenanted
by
the
band
of
renowned
Bohemian
vaulters
and
tumblers
;
and
so
on
to
the
little
cabins
of
the
roof
,
where
,
among
students
,
bagmen
,
small
tradesmen
,
and
country-folks
come
in
for
the
festival
,
Becky
had
found
a
little
nest
--
as
dirty
a
little
refuge
as
ever
beauty
lay
hid
in
.
Becky
liked
the
life
.
She
was
at
home
with
everybody
in
the
place
,
pedlars
,
punters
,
tumblers
,
students
and
all
.
She
was
of
a
wild
,
roving
nature
,
inherited
from
father
and
mother
,
who
were
both
Bohemians
,
by
taste
and
circumstance
;
if
a
lord
was
not
by
,
she
would
talk
to
his
courier
with
the
greatest
pleasure
;
the
din
,
the
stir
,
the
drink
,
the
smoke
,
the
tattle
of
the
Hebrew
pedlars
,
the
solemn
,
braggart
ways
of
the
poor
tumblers
,
the
sournois
talk
of
the
gambling-table
officials
,
the
songs
and
swagger
of
the
students
,
and
the
general
buzz
and
hum
of
the
place
had
pleased
and
tickled
the
little
woman
,
even
when
her
luck
was
down
and
she
had
not
wherewithal
to
pay
her
bill
.
How
pleasant
was
all
the
bustle
to
her
now
that
her
purse
was
full
of
the
money
which
little
Georgy
had
won
for
her
the
night
before
!
As
Jos
came
creaking
and
puffing
up
the
final
stairs
,
and
was
speechless
when
he
got
to
the
landing
,
and
began
to
wipe
his
face
and
then
to
look
for
No.
92
,
the
room
where
he
was
directed
to
seek
for
the
person
he
wanted
,
the
door
of
the
opposite
chamber
,
No.
90
,
was
open
,
and
a
student
,
in
jack-boots
and
a
dirty
schlafrock
,
was
lying
on
the
bed
smoking
a
long
pipe
;
whilst
another
student
in
long
yellow
hair
and
a
braided
coat
,
exceeding
smart
and
dirty
too
,
was
actually
on
his
knees
at
No.
92
,
bawling
through
the
keyhole
supplications
to
the
person
within
.
"
Go
away
,
"
said
a
well-known
voice
,
which
made
Jos
thrill
,
"
I
expect
somebody
;
I
expect
my
grandpapa
.
He
must
n't
see
you
there
.
"
"
Angel
Englanderinn
!
"
bellowed
the
kneeling
student
with
the
whity-brown
ringlets
and
the
large
finger-ring
,
"
do
take
compassion
upon
us
.
Make
an
appointment
.
Dine
with
me
and
Fritz
at
the
inn
in
the
park
.
We
will
have
roast
pheasants
and
porter
,
plum-pudding
and
French
wine
.
We
shall
die
if
you
do
n't
.
"
