Such a one is sure to be the dupe of a Becky Sharp, should a Becky Sharp come in her way,--as is the case with so many sweet Amelias whom we have known.

But in a matter of love she is sound enough and sensible enough,--and she is as true as steel.

I know no trait in Amelia which a man would be ashamed to find in his own daughter.
She marries her George Osborne, who, to tell the truth of him, is but a poor kind of fellow, though he is a brave soldier.

He thinks much of his own person, and is selfish.

Thackeray puts in a touch or two here and there by which he is made to be odious.
