Miss
Crawley
's
prodigious
benevolence
rather
fatigued
poor
little
Amelia
,
and
I
am
not
sure
that
of
the
three
ladies
in
Park
Lane
she
did
not
find
honest
Miss
Briggs
the
most
agreeable
.
She
sympathised
with
Briggs
as
with
all
neglected
or
gentle
people
:
she
was
n't
what
you
call
a
woman
of
spirit
.
George
came
to
dinner
--
a
repast
en
garcon
with
Captain
Crawley
.
The
great
family
coach
of
the
Osbornes
transported
him
to
Park
Lane
from
Russell
Square
;
where
the
young
ladies
,
who
were
not
themselves
invited
,
and
professed
the
greatest
indifference
at
that
slight
,
nevertheless
looked
at
Sir
Pitt
Crawley
's
name
in
the
baronetage
;
and
learned
everything
which
that
work
had
to
teach
about
the
Crawley
family
and
their
pedigree
,
and
the
Binkies
,
their
relatives
,
&
c.

Rawdon
Crawley
received
George
Osborne
with
great
frankness
and
graciousness
:
praised
his
play
at
billiards
:
asked
him
when
he
would
have
his
revenge
:
was
interested
about
Osborne
's
regiment
:
and
would
have
proposed
piquet
to
him
that
very
evening
,
but
Miss
Crawley
absolutely
forbade
any
gambling
in
her
house
;
so
that
the
young
Lieutenant
's
purse
was
not
lightened
by
his
gallant
patron
,
for
that
day
at
least
.
However
,
they
made
an
engagement
for
the
next
,
somewhere
:
to
look
at
a
horse
that
Crawley
had
to
sell
,
and
to
try
him
in
the
Park
;
and
to
dine
together
,
and
to
pass
the
evening
with
some
jolly
fellows
.
"
That
is
,
if
you
're
not
on
duty
to
that
pretty
Miss
Sedley
,
"
Crawley
said
,
with
a
knowing
wink
.
"
Monstrous
nice
girl
,
'
pon
my
honour
,
though
,
Osborne
,
"
he
was
good
enough
to
add
.
"
Lots
of
tin
,
I
suppose
,
eh
?
"
Osborne
was
n't
on
duty
;
he
would
join
Crawley
with
pleasure
:
and
the
latter
,
when
they
met
the
next
day
,
praised
his
new
friend
's
horsemanship
--
as
he
might
with
perfect
honesty
--
and
introduced
him
to
three
or
four
young
men
of
the
first
fashion
,
whose
acquaintance
immensely
elated
the
simple
young
officer
.
"
How
's
little
Miss
Sharp
,
by-the-bye
?
"
Osborne
inquired
of
his
friend
over
their
wine
,
with
a
dandified
air
.
"
Good-natured
little
girl
that
.
Does
she
suit
you
well
at
Queen
's
Crawley
?
Miss
Sedley
liked
her
a
good
deal
last
year
.
"
Captain
Crawley
looked
savagely
at
the
Lieutenant
out
of
his
little
blue
eyes
,
and
watched
him
when
he
went
up
to
resume
his
acquaintance
with
the
fair
governess
.
Her
conduct
must
have
relieved
Crawley
if
there
was
any
jealousy
in
the
bosom
of
that
life-guardsman
.
When
the
young
men
went
upstairs
,
and
after
Osborne
's
introduction
to
Miss
Crawley
,
he
walked
up
to
Rebecca
with
a
patronising
,
easy
swagger
.
He
was
going
to
be
kind
to
her
and
protect
her
.
He
would
even
shake
hands
with
her
,
as
a
friend
of
Amelia
's
;
and
saying
,
"
Ah
,
Miss
Sharp
!
how-dy-doo
?
"
held
out
his
left
hand
towards
her
,
expecting
that
she
would
be
quite
confounded
at
the
honour
.
Miss
Sharp
put
out
her
right
forefinger
,
and
gave
him
a
little
nod
,
so
cool
and
killing
,
that
Rawdon
Crawley
,
watching
the
operations
from
the
other
room
,
could
hardly
restrain
his
laughter
as
he
saw
the
Lieutenant
's
entire
discomfiture
;
the
start
he
gave
,
the
pause
,
and
the
perfect
clumsiness
with
which
he
at
length
condescended
to
take
the
finger
which
was
offered
for
his
embrace
.
"
She
'd
beat
the
devil
,
by
Jove
!
"
the
Captain
said
,
in
a
rapture
;
and
the
Lieutenant
,
by
way
of
beginning
the
conversation
,
agreeably
asked
Rebecca
how
she
liked
her
new
place
.
