Before the end of the campaign (which she resolved to share), Mrs.
Major O'Dowd hoped to write herself Mrs.
Colonel O'Dowd, C.B.
Our two friends (Dobbin and Osborne) were quite as much excited as the rest: and each in his way--Mr.
Dobbin very quietly, Mr.
Osborne very loudly and energetically--was bent upon doing his duty, and gaining his share of honour and distinction.
The agitation thrilling through the country and army in consequence of this news was so great, that private matters were little heeded: and hence probably George Osborne, just gazetted to his company, busy with preparations for the march, which must come inevitably, and panting for further promotion--was not so much affected by other incidents which would have interested him at a more quiet period.
He was not, it must be confessed, very much cast down by good old Mr.
Sedley's catastrophe.
He tried his new uniform, which became him very handsomely, on the day when the first meeting of the creditors of the unfortunate gentleman took place.
