I
merely
mean
that
you
are
expected
to
vote
with
Mr
.
Bulstrode
.
Do
you
regard
that
meaning
as
offensive
?
"
"
It
may
be
offensive
to
others
.
But
I
shall
not
desist
from
voting
with
him
on
that
account
.
"
Lydgate
immediately
wrote
down
"
Tyke
.
"
So
the
Rev
.
Walter
Tyke
became
chaplain
to
the
Infirmary
,
and
Lydgate
continued
to
work
with
Mr
.
Bulstrode
.
He
was
really
uncertain
whether
Tyke
were
not
the
more
suitable
candidate
,
and
yet
his
consciousness
told
him
that
if
he
had
been
quite
free
from
indirect
bias
he
should
have
voted
for
Mr
.
Farebrother
.
The
affair
of
the
chaplaincy
remained
a
sore
point
in
his
memory
as
a
case
in
which
this
petty
medium
of
Middlemarch
had
been
too
strong
for
him
.
How
could
a
man
be
satisfied
with
a
decision
between
such
alternatives
and
under
such
circumstances
?
No
more
than
he
can
be
satisfied
with
his
hat
,
which
he
has
chosen
from
among
such
shapes
as
the
resources
of
the
age
offer
him
,
wearing
it
at
best
with
a
resignation
which
is
chiefly
supported
by
comparison
.
But
Mr
.
Farebrother
met
him
with
the
same
friendliness
as
before
.
The
character
of
the
publican
and
sinner
is
not
always
practically
incompatible
with
that
of
the
modern
Pharisee
,
for
the
majority
of
us
scarcely
see
more
distinctly
the
faultiness
of
our
own
conduct
than
the
faultiness
of
our
own
arguments
,
or
the
dulness
of
our
own
jokes
.
But
the
Vicar
of
St
.
Botolph
’
s
had
certainly
escaped
the
slightest
tincture
of
the
Pharisee
,
and
by
dint
of
admitting
to
himself
that
he
was
too
much
as
other
men
were
,
he
had
become
remarkably
unlike
them
in
this
—
that
he
could
excuse
other
;
for
thinking
slightly
of
him
,
and
could
judge
impartially
of
their
conduct
even
when
it
told
against
him
.
"
The
world
has
been
to
strong
for
ME
,
I
know
,
"
he
said
one
day
to
Lydgate
.
"
But
then
I
am
not
a
mighty
man
—
I
shall
never
be
a
man
of
renown
.
The
choice
of
Hercules
is
a
pretty
fable
;
but
Prodicus
makes
it
easy
work
for
the
hero
,
as
if
the
first
resolves
were
enough
.
Another
story
says
that
he
came
to
hold
the
distaff
,
and
at
last
wore
the
Nessus
shirt
I
suppose
one
good
resolve
might
keep
a
man
right
if
everybody
else
’
s
resolve
helped
him
.
"
The
Vicar
’
s
talk
was
not
always
inspiriting
:
he
had
escaped
being
a
Pharisee
,
but
he
had
not
escaped
that
low
estimate
of
possibilities
which
we
rather
hastily
arrive
at
as
an
inference
from
our
own
failure
.
Lydgate
thought
that
there
was
a
pitiable
infirmity
of
will
in
Mr
.
Farebrother
.

When
George
the
Fourth
was
still
reigning
over
the
privacies
of
Windsor
,
when
the
Duke
of
Wellington
was
Prime
Minister
,
and
Mr
.
Vincy
was
mayor
of
the
old
corporation
in
Middlemarch
,
Mrs
.
Casaubon
,
born
Dorothea
Brooke
,
had
taken
her
wedding
journey
to
Rome
.
In
those
days
the
world
in
general
was
more
ignorant
of
good
and
evil
by
forty
years
than
it
is
at
present
.
Travellers
did
not
often
carry
full
information
on
Christian
art
either
in
their
heads
or
their
pockets
;
and
even
the
most
brilliant
English
critic
of
the
day
mistook
the
flower
-
flushed
tomb
of
the
ascended
Virgin
for
an
ornamental
vase
due
to
the
painter
’
s
fancy
.
Romanticism
,
which
has
helped
to
fill
some
dull
blanks
with
love
and
knowledge
,
had
not
yet
penetrated
the
times
with
its
leaven
and
entered
into
everybody
’
s
food
;
it
was
fermenting
still
as
a
distinguishable
vigorous
enthusiasm
in
certain
long
-
haired
German
artists
at
Rome
,
and
the
youth
of
other
nations
who
worked
or
idled
near
them
were
sometimes
caught
in
the
spreading
movement
.
