upon the present Sir Rawdon Crawley; Bart。
He; too; has declined to see his mother; to whom he
makes a liberal allowance; and who; besides; appears to
be very wealthy。 The Baronet lives entirely at Queen's
Crawley; with Lady Jane and her daughter; whilst Rebecca;
Lady Crawley; chiefly hangs about Bath and Cheltenham;
where a very strong party of excellent people
consider her to be a most injured woman。 She has her
enemies。 Who has not? Her life is her answer to them。
She busies herself in works of piety。 She goes to church;
and never without a footman。 Her name is in all the
Charity Lists。 The destitute orange…girl; the neglected
washerwoman; the distressed muffin…man find in her a
fast and generous friend。 She is always having stalls at
Fancy Fairs for the benefit of these hapless beings。 Emmy;
her children; and the Colonel; coming to London some
time back; found themselves suddenly before her at one
of these fairs。 She cast down her eyes demurely and
smiled as they started away from her; Emmy scurrying
off on the arm of George (now grown a dashing young
gentleman) and the Colonel seizing up his little Janey;
of whom he is fonder than of anything in the world
fonder even than of his History of the Punjaub。
〃Fonder than he is of me;〃 Emmy thinks with a sigh
But he never said a word to Amelia that was not kind and
gentle; or thought of a want of hers that he did not try to
gratify。
Ah! Vanitas Vanitatum! which of us is happy in this
world? Which of us has his desire? or; having it; is satisfied?
come; children; let us shut up the box and the puppets;
for our play is played out。
End
