She
was
not
worse
now
than
she
had
been
in
the
days
of
her
prosperity
--
only
a
little
down
on
her
luck
.
As
for
Mrs.
Amelia
,
she
was
a
woman
of
such
a
soft
and
foolish
disposition
that
when
she
heard
of
anybody
unhappy
,
her
heart
straightway
melted
towards
the
sufferer
;
and
as
she
had
never
thought
or
done
anything
mortally
guilty
herself
,
she
had
not
that
abhorrence
for
wickedness
which
distinguishes
moralists
much
more
knowing
.
If
she
spoiled
everybody
who
came
near
her
with
kindness
and
compliments
--
if
she
begged
pardon
of
all
her
servants
for
troubling
them
to
answer
the
bell
--
if
she
apologized
to
a
shopboy
who
showed
her
a
piece
of
silk
,
or
made
a
curtsey
to
a
street-sweeper
with
a
complimentary
remark
upon
the
elegant
state
of
his
crossing
--
and
she
was
almost
capable
of
every
one
of
these
follies
--
the
notion
that
an
old
acquaintance
was
miserable
was
sure
to
soften
her
heart
;
nor
would
she
hear
of
anybody
's
being
deservedly
unhappy
.
A
world
under
such
legislation
as
hers
would
not
be
a
very
orderly
place
of
abode
;
but
there
are
not
many
women
,
at
least
not
of
the
rulers
,
who
are
of
her
sort
.
This
lady
,
I
believe
,
would
have
abolished
all
gaols
,
punishments
,
handcuffs
,
whippings
,
poverty
,
sickness
,
hunger
,
in
the
world
,
and
was
such
a
mean-spirited
creature
that
--
we
are
obliged
to
confess
it
--
she
could
even
forget
a
mortal
injury
.
When
the
Major
heard
from
Jos
of
the
sentimental
adventure
which
had
just
befallen
the
latter
,
he
was
not
,
it
must
be
owned
,
nearly
as
much
interested
as
the
gentleman
from
Bengal
.
On
the
contrary
,
his
excitement
was
quite
the
reverse
from
a
pleasurable
one
;
he
made
use
of
a
brief
but
improper
expression
regarding
a
poor
woman
in
distress
,
saying
,
in
fact
,
"
The
little
minx
,
has
she
come
to
light
again
?
"
He
never
had
had
the
slightest
liking
for
her
,
but
had
heartily
mistrusted
her
from
the
very
first
moment
when
her
green
eyes
had
looked
at
,
and
turned
away
from
,
his
own
.
"
That
little
devil
brings
mischief
wherever
she
goes
,
"
the
Major
said
disrespectfully
.
"
Who
knows
what
sort
of
life
she
has
been
leading
?
And
what
business
has
she
here
abroad
and
alone
?
Do
n't
tell
me
about
persecutors
and
enemies
;
an
honest
woman
always
has
friends
and
never
is
separated
from
her
family
.
Why
has
she
left
her
husband
?
He
may
have
been
disreputable
and
wicked
,
as
you
say
.
He
always
was
.
I
remember
the
confounded
blackleg
and
the
way
in
which
he
used
to
cheat
and
hoodwink
poor
George
.
Was
n't
there
a
scandal
about
their
separation
?
I
think
I
heard
something
,
"
cried
out
Major
Dobbin
,
who
did
not
care
much
about
gossip
,
and
whom
Jos
tried
in
vain
to
convince
that
Mrs.
Becky
was
in
all
respects
a
most
injured
and
virtuous
female
.
"
Well
,
well
;
let
's
ask
Mrs.
George
,
"
said
that
arch-diplomatist
of
a
Major
.
"
Only
let
us
go
and
consult
her
.
I
suppose
you
will
allow
that
she
is
a
good
judge
at
any
rate
,
and
knows
what
is
right
in
such
matters
.
"
"
Hm
!
Emmy
is
very
well
,
"
said
Jos
,
who
did
not
happen
to
be
in
love
with
his
sister
.
"
Very
well
?
By
Gad
,
sir
,
she
's
the
finest
lady
I
ever
met
in
my
life
,
"
bounced
out
the
Major
.
"
I
say
at
once
,
let
us
go
and
ask
her
if
this
woman
ought
to
be
visited
or
not
--
I
will
be
content
with
her
verdict
.
"
Now
this
odious
,
artful
rogue
of
a
Major
was
thinking
in
his
own
mind
that
he
was
sure
of
his
case
.
Emmy
,
he
remembered
,
was
at
one
time
cruelly
and
deservedly
jealous
of
Rebecca
,
never
mentioned
her
name
but
with
a
shrinking
and
terror
--
a
jealous
woman
never
forgives
,
thought
Dobbin
:
and
so
the
pair
went
across
the
street
to
Mrs.
George
's
house
,
where
she
was
contentedly
warbling
at
a
music
lesson
with
Madame
Strumpff
.
When
that
lady
took
her
leave
,
Jos
opened
the
business
with
his
usual
pomp
of
words
.
"
Amelia
,
my
dear
,
"
said
he
,
"
I
have
just
had
the
most
extraordinary
--
yes
--
God
bless
my
soul
!
the
most
extraordinary
adventure
--
an
old
friend
--
yes
,
a
most
interesting
old
friend
of
yours
,
and
I
may
say
in
old
times
,
has
just
arrived
here
,
and
I
should
like
you
to
see
her
.
"
"
Her
!
"
said
Amelia
,
"
who
is
it
?
Major
Dobbin
,
if
you
please
not
to
break
my
scissors
.
"
The
Major
was
twirling
them
round
by
the
little
chain
from
which
they
sometimes
hung
to
their
lady
's
waist
,
and
was
thereby
endangering
his
own
eye
.
