"What a taste he has! There's nobody like him." "Nobody," Rebecca answered.

"How thankful I am to him!" She was thinking in her heart, "It was George Osborne who prevented my marriage."-- And she loved George Osborne accordingly.
She made her preparations for departure with great equanimity; and accepted all the kind little Amelia's presents, after just the proper degree of hesitation and reluctance.

She vowed eternal gratitude to Mrs.Sedley, of course; but did not intrude herself upon that good lady too much, who was embarrassed, and evidently wishing to avoid her.

She kissed Mr.Sedley's hand, when he presented her with the purse; and asked permission to consider him for the future as her kind, kind friend and protector.

Her behaviour was so affecting that he was going to write her a cheque for twenty pounds more; but he restrained his feelings: the carriage was in waiting to take him to dinner, so he tripped away with a "God bless you, my dear, always come here when you come to town, you know .-- Drive to the Mansion House, James." Finally came the parting with Miss Amelia, over which picture I intend to throw a veil.
