Celia
thought
privately
,
"
Dorothea
quite
despises
Sir
James
Chettam
;
I
believe
she
would
not
accept
him
.
"
Celia
felt
that
this
was
a
pity
.
She
had
never
been
deceived
as
to
the
object
of
the
baronet
’
s
interest
.
Sometimes
,
indeed
,
she
had
reflected
that
Dodo
would
perhaps
not
make
a
husband
happy
who
had
not
her
way
of
looking
at
things
;
and
stifled
in
the
depths
of
her
heart
was
the
feeling
that
her
sister
was
too
religious
for
family
comfort
.
Notions
and
scruples
were
like
spilt
needles
,
making
one
afraid
of
treading
,
or
sitting
down
,
or
even
eating
.
When
Miss
Brooke
was
at
the
tea
-
table
,
Sir
James
came
to
sit
down
by
her
,
not
having
felt
her
mode
of
answering
him
at
all
offensive
.
Why
should
he
?
He
thought
it
probable
that
Miss
Brooke
liked
him
,
and
manners
must
be
very
marked
indeed
before
they
cease
to
be
interpreted
by
preconceptions
either
confident
or
distrustful
.
She
was
thoroughly
charming
to
him
,
but
of
course
he
theorized
a
little
about
his
attachment
.
He
was
made
of
excellent
human
dough
,
and
had
the
rare
merit
of
knowing
that
his
talents
,
even
if
let
loose
,
would
not
set
the
smallest
stream
in
the
county
on
fire
:
hence
he
liked
the
prospect
of
a
wife
to
whom
he
could
say
,
"
What
shall
we
do
?
"
about
this
or
that
;
who
could
help
her
husband
out
with
reasons
,
and
would
also
have
the
property
qualification
for
doing
so
.
As
to
the
excessive
religiousness
alleged
against
Miss
Brooke
,
he
had
a
very
indefinite
notion
of
what
it
consisted
in
,
and
thought
that
it
would
die
out
with
marriage
.
In
short
,
he
felt
himself
to
be
in
love
in
the
right
place
,
and
was
ready
to
endure
a
great
deal
of
predominance
,
which
,
after
all
,
a
man
could
always
put
down
when
he
liked
.
Sir
James
had
no
idea
that
he
should
ever
like
to
put
down
the
predominance
of
this
handsome
girl
,
in
whose
cleverness
he
delighted
.
Why
not
?
A
man
’
s
mind
—
what
there
is
of
it
—
has
always
the
advantage
of
being
masculine
—
as
the
smallest
birch
-
tree
is
of
a
higher
kind
than
the
most
soaring
palm
—
and
even
his
ignorance
is
of
a
sounder
quality
.
Sir
James
might
not
have
originated
this
estimate
;
but
a
kind
Providence
furnishes
the
limpest
personality
with
a
little
gunk
or
starch
in
the
form
of
tradition
.
"
Let
me
hope
that
you
will
rescind
that
resolution
about
the
horse
,
Miss
Brooke
,
"
said
the
persevering
admirer
.
"
I
assure
you
,
riding
is
the
most
healthy
of
exercises
.
"
"
I
am
aware
of
it
,
"
said
Dorothea
,
coldly
.
"
I
think
it
would
do
Celia
good
—
if
she
would
take
to
it
.
"
"
But
you
are
such
a
perfect
horsewoman
.
"
"
Excuse
me
;
I
have
had
very
little
practice
,
and
I
should
be
easily
thrown
.
"
"
Then
that
is
a
reason
for
more
practice
.
Every
lady
ought
to
be
a
perfect
horsewoman
,
that
she
may
accompany
her
husband
.
"
"
You
see
how
widely
we
differ
,
Sir
James
.
I
have
made
up
my
mind
that
I
ought
not
to
be
a
perfect
horsewoman
,
and
so
I
should
never
correspond
to
your
pattern
of
a
lady
.
"
Dorothea
looked
straight
before
her
,
and
spoke
with
cold
brusquerie
,
very
much
with
the
air
of
a
handsome
boy
,
in
amusing
contrast
with
the
solicitous
amiability
of
her
admirer
.
