You
are
a
good
young
man
,

she
said

"
But
I
do
not
like
husbands

I

Three
days
afterwards
Lydgate
was
at
his
galvanism
again
in
his
Paris
chambers
,
believing
that
illusions
were
at
an
end
for
him
.
He
was
saved
from
hardening
effects
by
the
abundant
kindness
of
his
heart
and
his
belief
that
human
life
might
be
made
better
.
But
he
had
more
reason
than
ever
for
trusting
his
judgment
,
now
that
it
was
so
experienced
;
and
henceforth
he
would
take
a
strictly
scientific
view
of
woman
,
entertaining
no
expectations
but
such
as
were
justified
beforehand
No
one
in
Middle
march
was
likely
to
have
such
a
notion
of
Lydgate
’
s
past
as
has
here
been
faintly
shadowed
,
and
indeed
the
respectable
townsfolk
there
were
not
more
given
than
mortals
generally
to
any
eager
attempt
at
exactness
in
the
representation
to
themselves
of
what
did
not
come
under
their
own
senses
.
Not
only
young
virgins
of
that
town
,
but
gray
-
bearded
men
also
,
were
often
in
haste
to
conjecture
how
a
new
acquaintance
might
be
wrought
into
their
purposes
,
contented
with
very
vague
knowledge
as
to
the
way
in
which
life
had
been
shaping
him
for
that
instrumentality
.
Middlemarch
,
in
fact
,
counted
on
swallowing
Lydgate
and
assimilating
him
very
comfortably
.
"
All
that
in
woman

thy
fair
self
I

SIR
CHARLES
SEDLEY
.
The
question
whether
Mr
.
Tyke
should
be
appointed
as
salaried
chaplain
to
the
hospital
was
an
exciting
topic
to
the
Middlemarchers
;
and
Lydgate
heard
it
discussed
in
a
way
that
threw
much
light
on
the
power
exercised
in
the
town
by
Mr
.
Bulstrode
.
The
banker
was
evidently
a
ruler
,
but
there
was
an
opposition
party
,
and
even
among
his
supporters
there
were
some
who
allowed
it
to
be
seen
that
their
support
was
a
compromise
,
and
who
frankly
stated
their
impression
that
the
general
scheme
of
things
,
and
especially
the
casualties
of
trade
,
required
you
to
hold
a
candle
to
the
devil
.
Mr
.
Bulstrode
’
s
power
was
not
due
simply
to
his
being
a
country
banker
,
who
knew
the
financial
secrets
of
most
traders
in
the
town
and
could
touch
the
springs
of
their
credit
;
it
was
fortified
by
a
beneficence
that
was
at
once
ready
and
severe
—
ready
to
confer
obligations
,
and
severe
in
watching
the
result
.
He
had
gathered
,
as
an
industrious
man
always
at
his
post
,
a
chief
share
in
administering
the
town
charities
,
and
his
private
charities
were
both
minute
and
abundant
.
He
would
take
a
great
deal
of
pains
about
apprenticing
Tegg
the
shoemaker
’
s
son
,
and
he
would
watch
over
Tegg
’
s
church
-
going
;
he
would
defend
Mrs
.
Strype
the
washerwoman
against
Stubbs
’
s
unjust
exaction
on
the
score
of
her
drying
-
ground
,
and
he
would
himself
-
scrutinize
a
calumny
against
Mrs
.
Strype
.
His
private
minor
loans
were
numerous
,
but
he
would
inquire
strictly
into
the
circumstances
both
before
and
after
.
In
this
way
a
man
gathers
a
domain
in
his
neighbors
’
hope
and
fear
as
well
as
gratitude
;
and
power
,
when
once
it
has
got
into
that
subtle
region
,
propagates
itself
,
spreading
out
of
all
proportion
to
its
external
means
.
It
was
a
principle
with
Mr
.
Bulstrode
to
gain
as
much
power
as
possible
,
that
he
might
use
it
for
the
glory
of
God
.
He
went
through
a
great
deal
of
spiritual
conflict
and
inward
argument
in
order
to
adjust
his
motives
,
and
make
clear
to
himself
what
God
’
s
glory
required
.
But
,
as
we
have
seen
,
his
motives
were
not
always
rightly
appreciated
.
There
were
many
crass
minds
in
Middlemarch
whose
reflective
scales
could
only
weigh
things
in
the
lump
;
and
they
had
a
strong
suspicion
that
since
Mr
.
Bulstrode
could
not
enjoy
life
in
their
fashion
,
eating
and
drinking
so
little
as
he
did
,
and
worreting
himself
about
everything
,
he
must
have
a
sort
of
vampire
’
s
feast
in
the
sense
of
mastery
.
The
subject
of
the
chaplaincy
came
up
at
Mr
.
Vincy
’
s
table
when
Lydgate
was
dining
there
,
and
the
family
connection
with
Mr
.
Bulstrode
did
not
,
he
observed
,
prevent
some
freedom
of
remark
even
on
the
part
of
the
host
himself
,
though
his
reasons
against
the
proposed
arrangement
turned
entirely
on
his
objection
to
Mr
.
Tyke
’
s
sermons
,
which
were
all
doctrine
,
and
his
preference
for
Mr
.
Farebrother
,
whose
sermons
were
free
from
that
taint
.
Mr
.
Vincy
liked
well
enough
the
notion
of
the
chaplain
’
s
having
a
salary
,
supposing
it
were
given
to
Farebrother
,
who
was
as
good
a
little
fellow
as
ever
breathed
,
and
the
best
preacher
anywhere
,
and
companionable
too
.
"
What
line
shall
you
take
,
then
?
"
said
Mr
.
Chichely
,
the
coroner
,
a
great
coursing
comrade
of
Mr
.
Vincy
’
s
