Finally
came
the
parting
with
Miss
Amelia
,
over
which
picture
I
intend
to
throw
a
veil
.
But
after
a
scene
in
which
one
person
was
in
earnest
and
the
other
a
perfect
performer
--
after
the
tenderest
caresses
,
the
most
pathetic
tears
,
the
smelling-bottle
,
and
some
of
the
very
best
feelings
of
the
heart
,
had
been
called
into
requisition
--
Rebecca
and
Amelia
parted
,
the
former
vowing
to
love
her
friend
for
ever
and
ever
and
ever
.
Among
the
most
respected
of
the
names
beginning
in
C
which
the
Court-Guide
contained
,
in
the
year
18
--
was
that
of
Crawley
,
Sir
Pitt
,
Baronet
,
Great
Gaunt
Street
,
and
Queen
's
Crawley
,
Hants
.
This
honourable
name
had
figured
constantly
also
in
the
Parliamentary
list
for
many
years
,
in
conjunction
with
that
of
a
number
of
other
worthy
gentlemen
who
sat
in
turns
for
the
borough
.
It
is
related
,
with
regard
to
the
borough
of
Queen
's
Crawley
,
that
Queen
Elizabeth
in
one
of
her
progresses
,
stopping
at
Crawley
to
breakfast
,
was
so
delighted
with
some
remarkably
fine
Hampshire
beer
which
was
then
presented
to
her
by
the
Crawley
of
the
day
(
a
handsome
gentleman
with
a
trim
beard
and
a
good
leg
)
,
that
she
forthwith
erected
Crawley
into
a
borough
to
send
two
members
to
Parliament
;
and
the
place
,
from
the
day
of
that
illustrious
visit
,
took
the
name
of
Queen
's
Crawley
,
which
it
holds
up
to
the
present
moment
.
And
though
,
by
the
lapse
of
time
,
and
those
mutations
which
age
produces
in
empires
,
cities
,
and
boroughs
,
Queen
's
Crawley
was
no
longer
so
populous
a
place
as
it
had
been
in
Queen
Bess
's
time
--
nay
,
was
come
down
to
that
condition
of
borough
which
used
to
be
denominated
rotten
--
yet
,
as
Sir
Pitt
Crawley
would
say
with
perfect
justice
in
his
elegant
way
,
"
Rotten
!
be
hanged
--
it
produces
me
a
good
fifteen
hundred
a
year
.
"
Sir
Pitt
Crawley
(
named
after
the
great
Commoner
)
was
the
son
of
Walpole
Crawley
,
first
Baronet
,
of
the
Tape
and
Sealing-Wax
Office
in
the
reign
of
George
II
.
,
when
he
was
impeached
for
peculation
,
as
were
a
great
number
of
other
honest
gentlemen
of
those
days
;
and
Walpole
Crawley
was
,
as
need
scarcely
be
said
,
son
of
John
Churchill
Crawley
,
named
after
the
celebrated
military
commander
of
the
reign
of
Queen
Anne
.
The
family
tree
(
which
hangs
up
at
Queen
's
Crawley
)
furthermore
mentions
Charles
Stuart
,
afterwards
called
Barebones
Crawley
,
son
of
the
Crawley
of
James
the
First
's
time
;
and
finally
,
Queen
Elizabeth
's
Crawley
,
who
is
represented
as
the
foreground
of
the
picture
in
his
forked
beard
and
armour
.
Out
of
his
waistcoat
,
as
usual
,
grows
a
tree
,
on
the
main
branches
of
which
the
above
illustrious
names
are
inscribed
.
Close
by
the
name
of
Sir
Pitt
Crawley
,
Baronet
(
the
subject
of
the
present
memoir
)
,
are
written
that
of
his
brother
,
the
Reverend
Bute
Crawley
(
the
great
Commoner
was
in
disgrace
when
the
reverend
gentleman
was
born
)
,
rector
of
Crawley-cum-Snailby
,
and
of
various
other
male
and
female
members
of
the
Crawley
family
.
Sir
Pitt
was
first
married
to
Grizzel
,
sixth
daughter
of
Mungo
Binkie
,
Lord
Binkie
,
and
cousin
,
in
consequence
,
of
Mr.
Dundas
.
She
brought
him
two
sons
:
Pitt
,
named
not
so
much
after
his
father
as
after
the
heaven-born
minister
;
and
Rawdon
Crawley
,
from
the
Prince
of
Wales
's
friend
,
whom
his
Majesty
George
IV
forgot
so
completely
.
Many
years
after
her
ladyship
's
demise
,
Sir
Pitt
led
to
the
altar
Rosa
,
daughter
of
Mr.
G.
Dawson
,
of
Mudbury
,
by
whom
he
had
two
daughters
,
for
whose
benefit
Miss
Rebecca
Sharp
was
now
engaged
as
governess
.
It
will
be
seen
that
the
young
lady
was
come
into
a
family
of
very
genteel
connexions
,
and
was
about
to
move
in
a
much
more
distinguished
circle
than
that
humble
one
which
she
had
just
quitted
in
Russell
Square
.
She
had
received
her
orders
to
join
her
pupils
,
in
a
note
which
was
written
upon
an
old
envelope
,
and
which
contained
the
following
words
:
Sir
Pitt
Crawley
begs
Miss
Sharp
and
baggidge
may
be
hear
on
Tuesday
,
as
I
leaf
for
Queen
's
Crawley
to-morrow
morning
