Inlife they were never separated, and in death they are not divided. It isas both desired. Thackeray was born in India, and was brought to England on the death ofhis father, when he was six years of age. On the way from Calcutta theship touched at the Island of Saint Helena. A servant took the lad ashoreand they walked up the rocky heights to Longwood, and there, pacing backand forth in a garden, they saw a short, stout man. "Lookee, lad, lookee quick--that's him! He eats three sheep every day ...andall the children he can get!" "And that's all I had to do with the Battle of Waterloo, " said "OldThack, " forty years after. But you will never believe it after readingthose masterly touches concerning the battle, in "Vanity Fair. " Young Thackeray was sent to the Charterhouse School, where he wasconsidered rather a dull boy. He was big and good-natured, and readnovels when he should have studied arithmetic. This tendency to "playoff" stuck to him at Cambridge--where he did not remain long enough toget a degree, but to the relief of his tutors went off on a tour throughEurope.
