Amanda tells her entire story
She was completely obese-when she entered college, but during her freshmen-year now looks incredible while eating dorm food and never-working out at all.

when I hope to have news for him. He considerately went out first, to let the lovers say their adieus alone. They took each the hands of the other, and looked again into each others eyes, as 202 * SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. if anew to der at the unfamiliar depth of love and understanding they revealed. Was I very very angry with you she asked, hanging her head. You were, said he, and I was very miserable; but that is past. I think, said she, I was angrier because you were so humble. Why were you so humble How could I, said he, be anything but hum ble before you Come, Dolly, my , sounded the voice ot Drumly ; and with a clinging grasp of the hand no more the lovers parted. When they were gone, the little inn could not con tain George Ferrers. From Hell he had been raised to Heaven from the lowest depth of darkness and despair to the giddiest height of light, and life, and hope. He went out and walked on the common. As it grew dark, he returned and ate an enormous supper of bread and cheese and ale it was the first food he had tasted since morning and that done, he went out again into the open air. He wandered back the way he had come, climbed the park wall, and approached the house, nearer and nearer, till he was against ik,
Dolly, my , said Drumly as soon as they were alone, I want to tell you something about myself, if you will let me Dolly merely signified her assent and attention by fixing her eyes on him. When I first came to London, said he, many years ago, I was very poor, so poor at one time that I did not know where to get food not even a crust of bread. How dreadful exclaimed Dolly, all sym pathy. One night, continued Drumly, I went out of the little lodging I had. I was faint with hunger. I had had no food at all that day, and scarcely any the day before. I was passing a restaurant where many people were going in to dinner. As I was near the door, almost mad with the desire for food, a cab dashed up and a gentleman jumped out. In pulling 194 A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. out his money to pay the cabman he dropped a shil ling which rolled over the pavement close to me ; I put my foot on it The gentleman quarrelled with the cabman about his fare, and made a todo about the money he had dropped, so that a good many people gathered. Hidden by them I picked up the shilling, and went and spent part of it on a supper of bread and cheese. Now that seems to you perhaps a mean, dishonest thing to have done Dolly said nothing, but her eyes were fixed on him. But, my , continued Drumly, you have never missed a meal, unless you may have been unwell, and you have never wanted for a shilling. You have no idea how hunger may make you des perate, how it may make you hate those who are well fed, and how it may tempt you to do things you would otherwise shrink with shame from. Mr.
he had ked then. Well, my , said Drumly, leaning his elbows on the table and playing with one of the quills before him, would you mind telling us whether you had any conversation today with Mr. Ferrers about these matters You neednt be afraid of us, my , or shy with us : we are your fathers friends, who are anxious to see you happy old fellows who know the world (Drew here is an old married man, as you know, and Im an incorrigible old bachelor), and who may be able to give you advice. Did he tell you at all how this had come about Yes ; he did, answered Dolly. Would you mind telling us the facts of the case as he put them So Dolly related the facts of the case, as barely as she could, laying unconscious stress upon the, to her, shameful fact that he had undertaken the ad venture for money. Will you forgive me, my , said Drumly, if I ask whether you spoke to him warmly about that I did, confessed Dolly, and blushed violently. Indeed, I think now I said many harder things than h deserved. 193 A
Ferrers was striding on towards the great maelstrom of the despairing and the dis appointed the huge London whose canopy of smoke he could discern miles away as he mounted the Downs. His heart was filled with wrath and bitterness, but, at least, his conscience was now clear. He had made what amends he could for the evil he had wrought. He saw nothing hope ful before him, but he knew he must keep a firm nether lip, and work at something for a living 198 A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. what, he knew not yet. But he had health and strength : the springy turf of the common on which he had entered was as grateful to the foot as ever, and the evening breeze which blew over the firtrees and the bracken was fresh to the cheek and sweet to the smell. He was somewhat discomposed in these thoughts by the sound of /heels behind him. As the sound came nearer it jarred him more. So he turned far ther aside from the road, leaving the even turf and plunging in among the bracken. Would it not be pleasant, he thought, to make his bed there for the night, and go on refreshed in the early dawn when his ear told him that the vehicle had stopped. He turned and saw that a man and a woman had got out. He was astounded to hear his name called : Ferrers Then he saw the man move towards him, and the man limped Could it be Drumly What did he want with him To arrest him He walked to meet the man. What do you want with me he asked gruffly when they met. Are you going to carry me
Ferrers told you he was poor, did he not when Sir William made him the tempting offer. He said he was poor poorer than I would believe, answered Dolly. Yes, said Drumly; I thought so. He was probably starving, though he was too proud to tell you so ; did not perhaps know where he was to get his next meal. A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. 195 Dreadful dreadful exclaimed Dolly, wring ing her hands. And I said cruel things to him cruel, cruel, cruel Perhaps hes going back to London to starve now Im sure he has no money She rose to her feet, but in a moment sat down again, and burst into tears, saying: What shall I do What shall I do * Here is the ponychaise outside. Suppose, suggested Drumly, we drive after him you and I and ask him to forgive us for being so hard with him. It may cheer him up, and perhaps he will not be too proud to take money from me. Oh, yes, she cried. Let us go at once. Drumly limped to the dow and said to LonJ Debrett that, if he would not object, he wished to have the ponychaise for a while. If you have really a regard for Mr. Ferrers, he added, you will wait here till I come back. You can help me to make things look better. To his partner he gave the short but sufficient explanation that he was going to take Dolly for a short drive to soothe her nerves. Now, said Drumly, when he had returned into the room, Ill get your things I know where they hang; dont you trouble. Then, while he limped 196 A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN.
back, to take me to prison Well, I dont care Youre a foolish young man, said Drumly. I A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. 199 want to be your friend. And heres a young lady come to have a word with you. What Miss Dawlish He went to her, hardening his heart as much as possible with thought of all the angry and cruel things she had said to him. He stood in her pres ence with his hands crossed before him, like a sol dier standing at ease. He did not speak. I have come after you, she said, frankly look ing in his eyes, to speak to you. I have been very wicked to you. I said ugly, cruel things to you, and thought mean thoughts of you. I am bitterly bitterly sorry Please, forgive me She let her head droop, and offered her hand. Ferrers seized it in a passion of gratitude, and sank on his knees kissing it, while great, painful sobs heaved his chest, and scalding hot tears were wrung from his eyes. The burning tears fell on Dollys hand. Oh, my love my poor love she cried wildly, now weeping herself. She bent over him, and stroked his head with fluttering hand, scarce know ing what she did, and still cried, scarce knog what she said, My my Ferrers rose, still holding her hand. They looked 300 A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. into each others eyes, and said no word more ; but Ferrers took her other hand also, and drew her to him, and with a sigh she leaned her head upon his breast. Then she appeared to come to herself. She drew back covered with burning blushes, which she tried to hide with her hands. Come, my , said Drumly, gently taking her arm, theres nothing to be ashamed of : you have let nature speak. I think we had better take Mr. Ferrers back with us as far as that little inn we passed and leave him there for
the night. So all three got into the chaise, and in a happy suffusion of silence, drove back to the little inn, which stood about a stonesthrow from the margin of the common. Now, said Drumly, when they had been shown into a little sittingroom, I guessed it before, and I dont need to be told now, that you two people are fond of each other. For myself, I approve, and Ill stand your friend throughout; but Im not every body ; theres my partner and fellowtrustee, Drew, to be considered. Ill tackle him for you, and I hope Ill make it all right. But just tell me, Ferrers, will you one or two facts about yourself. I know a good deal already, but I want to know more A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. Aoi facts about your life and parentage that will suit Drew. Let me see. Youve been a soldier, havent you Twelve years in the Blues, said Ferrers ; and when I left I was sergeant. And Im sure, said Dolly with a simple touch of pride, a sergeant can be as strong and brave as a general. And what were your people, may I ask said Drumly. Farming, I think Yes, said Ferrers, with a touch of pride on his own part. My people have been yeomen in Cum berland for ages. Humph said Drumly. That ought to be good enough for Drew. And Lord Debrett is an old friend of yours, isnt he He is. Thats a touch, said Drumly, thatll tell with Drew ; he has a weakness for that kind of thing. Well, now, Dolly, my , we must go, and well come here and see Mr. Ferrers tomorrow morning,

He was astounded to hear his name called : Ferrers Then he saw the man move towards him, and the man limped Could it be Drumly What did he want with him To arrest him He walked to meet the man. What do you want with me he asked gruffly when they met. Are you going to carry me
<br />
<hr />Ferrers told you he was poor, did he not when Sir William made him the tempting offer. He said he was poor poorer than I would believe, answered Dolly. Yes, said Drumly; I thought so. He was probably starving, though he was too proud to tell you so ; did not perhaps know where he was to get his next meal. A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. 195 Dreadful dreadful exclaimed Dolly, wring ing her hands. And I said cruel things to him cruel, cruel, cruel Perhaps hes going back to London to starve now Im sure he has no money She rose to her feet, but in a moment sat down again, and burst into tears, saying: What shall I do What shall I do * Here is the ponychaise outside. Suppose, suggested Drumly, we drive after him you and I and ask him to forgive us for being so hard with him. It may cheer him up, and perhaps he will not be too proud to take money from me. Oh, yes, she cried. Let us go at once. Drumly limped to the dow and said to LonJ Debrett that, if he would not object, he wished to have the ponychaise for a while. If you have really a regard for Mr. Ferrers, he added, you will wait here till I come back. You can help me to make things look better. To his partner he gave the short but sufficient explanation that he was going to take Dolly for a short drive to soothe her nerves. Now, said Drumly, when he had returned into the room, Ill get your things I know where they hang; dont you trouble. Then, while he limped 196 A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN.
<br />
<hr />back, to take me to prison Well, I dont care Youre a foolish young man, said Drumly. I A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. 199 want to be your friend. And heres a young lady come to have a word with you. What Miss Dawlish He went to her, hardening his heart as much as possible with thought of all the angry and cruel things she had said to him. He stood in her pres ence with his hands crossed before him, like a sol dier standing at ease. He did not speak. I have come after you, she said, frankly look ing in his eyes, to speak to you. I have been very wicked to you. I said ugly, cruel things to you, and thought mean thoughts of you. I am bitterly bitterly sorry Please, forgive me She let her head droop, and offered her hand. Ferrers seized it in a passion of gratitude, and sank on his knees kissing it, while great, painful sobs heaved his chest, and scalding hot tears were wrung from his eyes. The burning tears fell on Dollys hand. Oh, my love my poor love she cried wildly, now weeping herself. She bent over him, and stroked his head with fluttering hand, scarce know ing what she did, and still cried, scarce knog what she said, My my Ferrers rose, still holding her hand. They looked 300 A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. into each others eyes, and said no word more ; but Ferrers took her other hand also, and drew her to him, and with a sigh she leaned her head upon his breast. Then she appeared to come to herself. She drew back covered with burning blushes, which she tried to hide with her hands. Come, my , said Drumly, gently taking her arm, theres nothing to be ashamed of : you have let nature speak. I think we had better take Mr. Ferrers back with us as far as that little inn we passed and leave him there for
<br />
<hr />Ferrers was striding on towards the great maelstrom of the despairing and the dis appointed the huge London whose canopy of smoke he could discern miles away as he mounted the Downs. His heart was filled with wrath and bitterness, but, at least, his conscience was now clear. He had made what amends he could for the evil he had wrought. He saw nothing hope ful before him, but he knew he must keep a firm nether lip, and work at something for a living 198 A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. what, he knew not yet. But he had health and strength : the springy turf of the common on which he had entered was as grateful to the foot as ever, and the evening breeze which blew over the firtrees and the bracken was fresh to the cheek and sweet to the smell. He was somewhat discomposed in these thoughts by the sound of /heels behind him. As the sound came nearer it jarred him more. So he turned far ther aside from the road, leaving the even turf and plunging in among the bracken. Would it not be pleasant, he thought, to make his bed there for the night, and go on refreshed in the early dawn when his ear told him that the vehicle had stopped. He turned and saw that a man and a woman had got out. He was astounded to hear his name called : Ferrers Then he saw the man move towards him, and the man limped Could it be Drumly What did he want with him To arrest him He walked to meet the man.

<hr />the night. So all three got into the chaise, and in a happy suffusion of silence, drove back to the little inn, which stood about a stonesthrow from the margin of the common. Now, said Drumly, when they had been shown into a little sittingroom, I guessed it before, and I dont need to be told now, that you two people are fond of each other. For myself, I approve, and Ill stand your friend throughout; but Im not every body ; theres my partner and fellowtrustee, Drew, to be considered. Ill tackle him for you, and I hope Ill make it all right. But just tell me, Ferrers, will you one or two facts about yourself. I know a good deal already, but I want to know more A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. Aoi facts about your life and parentage that will suit Drew. Let me see. Youve been a soldier, havent you Twelve years in the Blues, said Ferrers ; and when I left I was sergeant. And Im sure, said Dolly with a simple touch of pride, a sergeant can be as strong and brave as a general. And what were your people, may I ask said Drumly. Farming, I think Yes, said Ferrers, with a touch of pride on his own part. My people have been yeomen in Cum berland for ages. Humph said Drumly. That ought to be good enough for Drew. And Lord Debrett is an old friend of yours, isnt he He is. Thats a touch, said Drumly, thatll tell with Drew ; he has a weakness for that kind of thing. Well, now, Dolly, my , we must go, and well come here and see Mr. Ferrers tomorrow morning,
