In Their Own Words

"“Heaven bless you, my child,” said she, embracing Amelia, and scowling the while over the girl's shoulder at Miss Sharp."
"“Come away, Becky,” said Miss Jemima, pulling the young woman away in great alarm, and the drawing-room door closed upon them for ever."
"“It's some sandwiches, my dear,” said she to Amelia. “You may be hungry, you know; and Becky, Becky Sharp, here's a book for you that my sister--that is, I--Johnson's Dixonary, you know; you mustn't leave us without that. Good-by. Drive on, coachman. God bless you!”"
