And
the
real
state
of
the
case
would
never
have
been
known
at
all
in
the
regiment
but
for
Captain
Dobbin
's
indiscretion
.
The
Captain
was
eating
his
breakfast
one
day
in
the
mess-room
,
while
Cackle
,
the
assistant-surgeon
,
and
the
two
above-named
worthies
were
speculating
upon
Osborne
's
intrigue
--
Stubble
holding
out
that
the
lady
was
a
Duchess
about
Queen
Charlotte
's
court
,
and
Cackle
vowing
she
was
an
opera-singer
of
the
worst
reputation
.
At
this
idea
Dobbin
became
so
moved
,
that
though
his
mouth
was
full
of
eggs
and
bread-and-butter
at
the
time
,
and
though
he
ought
not
to
have
spoken
at
all
,
yet
he
could
n't
help
blurting
out
,
"
Cackle
,
you
're
a
stupid
fool
.
You
're
always
talking
nonsense
and
scandal
.
Osborne
is
not
going
to
run
off
with
a
Duchess
or
ruin
a
milliner
.
Miss
Sedley
is
one
of
the
most
charming
young
women
that
ever
lived
.
He
's
been
engaged
to
her
ever
so
long
;
and
the
man
who
calls
her
names
had
better
not
do
so
in
my
hearing
.
"
With
which
,
turning
exceedingly
red
,
Dobbin
ceased
speaking
,
and
almost
choked
himself
with
a
cup
of
tea
.
The
story
was
over
the
regiment
in
half-an-hour
;
and
that
very
evening
Mrs.
Major
O'Dowd
wrote
off
to
her
sister
Glorvina
at
O'Dowdstown
not
to
hurry
from
Dublin
--
young
Osborne
being
prematurely
engaged
already
.
She
complimented
the
Lieutenant
in
an
appropriate
speech
over
a
glass
of
whisky-toddy
that
evening
,
and
he
went
home
perfectly
furious
to
quarrel
with
Dobbin
(
who
had
declined
Mrs.
Major
O'Dowd
's
party
,
and
sat
in
his
own
room
playing
the
flute
,
and
,
I
believe
,
writing
poetry
in
a
very
melancholy
manner
)
--
to
quarrel
with
Dobbin
for
betraying
his
secret
.
"
Who
the
deuce
asked
you
to
talk
about
my
affairs
?
"
Osborne
shouted
indignantly
.
"
Why
the
devil
is
all
the
regiment
to
know
that
I
am
going
to
be
married
?
Why
is
that
tattling
old
harridan
,
Peggy
O'Dowd
,
to
make
free
with
my
name
at
her
d
--
d
supper-table
,
and
advertise
my
engagement
over
the
three
kingdoms
?
After
all
,
what
right
have
you
to
say
I
am
engaged
,
or
to
meddle
in
my
business
at
all
,
Dobbin
?
"
"
It
seems
to
me
,
"
Captain
Dobbin
began
.
"
Seems
be
hanged
,
Dobbin
,
"
his
junior
interrupted
him
.
"
I
am
under
obligations
to
you
,
I
know
it
,
a
d
--
d
deal
too
well
too
;
but
I
wo
n't
be
always
sermonised
by
you
because
you
're
five
years
my
senior
.
I
'm
hanged
if
I
'll
stand
your
airs
of
superiority
and
infernal
pity
and
patronage
.
Pity
and
patronage
!
I
should
like
to
know
in
what
I
'm
your
inferior
?
"
"
Are
you
engaged
?
"
Captain
Dobbin
interposed
.
"
What
the
devil
's
that
to
you
or
any
one
here
if
I
am
?
"
"
Are
you
ashamed
of
it
?
"
Dobbin
resumed
.
"
What
right
have
you
to
ask
me
that
question
,
sir
?
I
should
like
to
know
,
"
George
said
.
