Either
because
his
interest
in
this
work
thrust
the
incident
of
the
signature
from
his
memory
,
or
for
some
reason
of
which
Caleb
was
more
conscious
,
Mrs
.
Garth
remained
ignorant
of
the
affair
.
Since
it
occurred
,
a
change
had
come
over
Fred
’
s
sky
,
which
altered
his
view
of
the
distance
,
and
was
the
reason
why
his
uncle
Featherstone
’
s
present
of
money
was
of
importance
enough
to
make
his
color
come
and
go
,
first
with
a
too
definite
expectation
,
and
afterwards
with
a
proportionate
disappointment
.
His
failure
in
passing
his
examination
,
had
made
his
accumulation
of
college
debts
the
more
unpardonable
by
his
father
,
and
there
had
been
an
unprecedented
storm
at
home
.
Mr
.
Vincy
had
sworn
that
if
he
had
anything
more
of
that
sort
to
put
up
with
,
Fred
should
turn
out
and
get
his
living
how
he
could
;
and
he
had
never
yet
quite
recovered
his
good
-
humored
tone
to
his
son
,
who
had
especially
enraged
him
by
saying
at
this
stage
of
things
that
he
did
not
want
to
be
a
clergyman
,
and
would
rather
not
"
go
on
with
that
.
"
Fred
was
conscious
that
he
would
have
been
yet
more
severely
dealt
with
if
his
family
as
well
as
himself
had
not
secretly
regarded
him
as
Mr
.
Featherstone
’
s
heir
;
that
old
gentleman
’
s
pride
in
him
,
and
apparent
fondness
for
him
,
serving
in
the
stead
of
more
exemplary
conduct
—
just
as
when
a
youthful
nobleman
steals
jewellery
we
call
the
act
kleptomania
,
speak
of
it
with
a
philosophical
smile
,
and
never
think
of
his
being
sent
to
the
house
of
correction
as
if
he
were
a
ragged
boy
who
had
stolen
turnips
.
In
fact
,
tacit
expectations
of
what
would
be
done
for
him
by
uncle
Featherstone
determined
the
angle
at
which
most
people
viewed
Fred
Vincy
in
Middlemarch
;
and
in
his
own
consciousness
,
what
uncle
Featherstone
would
do
for
him
in
an
emergency
,
or
what
he
would
do
simply
as
an
incorporated
luck
,
formed
always
an
immeasurable
depth
of
aerial
perspective
.
But
that
present
of
bank
-
notes
,
once
made
,
was
measurable
,
and
being
applied
to
the
amount
of
the
debt
,
showed
a
deficit
which
had
still
to
be
filled
up
either
by
Fred
’
s
"
judgment
"
or
by
luck
in
some
other
shape
.
For
that
little
episode
of
the
alleged
borrowing
,
in
which
he
had
made
his
father
the
agent
in
getting
the
Bulstrode
certificate
,
was
a
new
reason
against
going
to
his
father
for
money
towards
meeting
his
actual
debt
.
Fred
was
keen
enough
to
foresee
that
anger
would
confuse
distinctions
,
and
that
his
denial
of
having
borrowed
expressly
on
the
strength
of
his
uncle
’
s
will
would
be
taken
as
a
falsehood
.
He
had
gone
to
his
father
and
told
him
one
vexatious
affair
,
and
he
had
left
another
untold
:
in
such
cases
the
complete
revelation
always
produces
the
impression
of
a
previous
duplicity
.
Now
Fred
piqued
himself
on
keeping
clear
of
lies
,
and
even
fibs
;
he
often
shrugged
his
shoulders
and
made
a
significant
grimace
at
what
he
called
Rosamond
’
s
fibs
(
it
is
only
brothers
who
can
associate
such
ideas
with
a
lovely
girl
)
;
and
rather
than
incur
the
accusation
of
falsehood
he
would
even
incur
some
trouble
and
self
-
restraint
.
It
was
under
strong
inward
pressure
of
this
kind
that
Fred
had
taken
the
wise
step
of
depositing
the
eighty
pounds
with
his
mother
.
It
was
a
pity
that
he
had
not
at
once
given
them
to
Mr
.
Garth
;
but
he
meant
to
make
the
sum
complete
with
another
sixty
,
and
with
a
view
to
this
,
he
had
kept
twenty
pounds
in
his
own
pocket
as
a
sort
of
seed
-
corn
,
which
,
planted
by
judgment
,
and
watered
by
luck
,
might
yield
more
than
threefold
—
a
very
poor
rate
of
multiplication
when
the
field
is
a
young
gentleman
’
s
infinite
soul
,
with
all
the
numerals
at
command
.
Fred
was
not
a
gambler
:
he
had
not
that
specific
disease
in
which
the
suspension
of
the
whole
nervous
energy
on
a
chance
or
risk
becomes
as
necessary
as
the
dram
to
the
drunkard
;
he
had
only
the
tendency
to
that
diffusive
form
of
gambling
which
has
no
alcoholic
intensity
,
but
is
carried
on
with
the
healthiest
chyle
-
fed
blood
,
keeping
up
a
joyous
imaginative
activity
which
fashions
events
according
to
desire
,
and
having
no
fears
about
its
own
weather
,
only
sees
the
advantage
there
must
be
to
others
in
going
aboard
with
it
.
Hopefulness
has
a
pleasure
in
making
a
throw
of
any
kind
,
because
the
prospect
of
success
is
certain
;
and
only
a
more
generous
pleasure
in
offering
as
many
as
possible
a
share
in
the
stake
.
Fred
liked
play
,
especially
billiards
,
as
he
liked
hunting
or
riding
a
steeple
-
chase
;
and
he
only
liked
it
the
better
because
he
wanted
money
and
hoped
to
win
.
But
the
twenty
pounds
’
worth
of
seed
-
corn
had
been
planted
in
vain
in
the
seductive
green
plot
—
all
of
it
at
least
which
had
not
been
dispersed
by
the
roadside
—
and
Fred
found
himself
close
upon
the
term
of
payment
with
no
money
at
command
beyond
the
eighty
pounds
which
he
had
deposited
with
his
mother
.
The
broken
-
winded
horse
which
he
rode
represented
a
present
which
had
been
made
to
him
a
long
while
ago
by
his
uncle
Featherstone
:
his
father
always
allowed
him
to
keep
a
horse
,
Mr
.
Vincy
’
s
own
habits
making
him
regard
this
as
a
reasonable
demand
even
for
a
son
who
was
rather
exasperating
.
This
horse
,
then
,
was
Fred
’
s
property
,
and
in
his
anxiety
to
meet
the
imminent
bill
he
determined
to
sacrifice
a
possession
without
which
life
would
certainly
be
worth
little
.
He
made
the
resolution
with
a
sense
of
heroism
—
heroism
forced
on
him
by
the
dread
of
breaking
his
word
to
Mr
.
Garth
,
by
his
love
for
Mary
and
awe
of
her
opinion
.
He
would
start
for
Houndsley
horse
-
fair
which
was
to
be
held
the
next
morning
,
and
—
simply
sell
his
horse
,
bringing
back
the
money
by
coach
?
—
Well
,
the
horse
would
hardly
fetch
more
than
thirty
pounds
,
and
there
was
no
knowing
what
might
happen
;
it
would
be
folly
to
balk
himself
of
luck
beforehand
.
It
was
a
hundred
to
one
that
some
good
chance
would
fall
in
his
way
;
the
longer
he
thought
of
it
,
the
less
possible
it
seemed
that
he
should
not
have
a
good
chance
,
and
the
less
reasonable
that
he
should
not
equip
himself
with
the
powder
and
shot
for
bringing
it
down
.
He
would
ride
to
Houndsley
with
Bambridge
and
with
Horrock
"
the
vet
,
"
and
without
asking
them
anything
expressly
,
he
should
virtually
get
the
benefit
of
their
opinion
.
Before
he
set
out
,
Fred
got
the
eighty
pounds
from
his
mother
.
Most
of
those
who
saw
Fred
riding
out
of
Middlemarch
in
company
with
Bambridge
and
Horrock
,
on
his
way
of
course
to
Houndsley
horse
-
fair
,
thought
that
young
Vincy
was
pleasure
-
seeking
as
usual
;
and
but
for
an
unwonted
consciousness
of
grave
matters
on
hand
,
he
himself
would
have
had
a
sense
of
dissipation
,
and
of
doing
what
might
be
expected
of
a
gay
young
fellow
.
Considering
that
Fred
was
not
at
all
coarse
,
that
he
rather
looked
down
on
the
manners
and
speech
of
young
men
who
had
not
been
to
the
university
,
and
that
he
had
written
stanzas
as
pastoral
and
unvoluptuous
as
his
flute
-
playing
,
his
attraction
towards
Bambridge
and
Horrock
was
an
interesting
fact
which
even
the
love
of
horse
-
flesh
would
not
wholly
account
for
without
that
mysterious
influence
of
Naming
which
determinates
so
much
of
mortal
choice
.
Under
any
other
name
than
"
pleasure
"
the
society
of
Messieurs
Bambridge
and
Horrock
must
certainly
have
been
regarded
as
monotonous
;
and
to
arrive
with
them
at
Houndsley
on
a
drizzling
afternoon
,
to
get
down
at
the
Red
Lion
in
a
street
shaded
with
coal
-
dust
,
and
dine
in
a
room
furnished
with
a
dirt
-
enamelled
map
of
the
county
,
a
bad
portrait
of
an
anonymous
horse
in
a
stable
,
His
Majesty
George
the
Fourth
with
legs
and
cravat
,
and
various
leaden
spittoons
,
might
have
seemed
a
hard
business
,
but
for
the
sustaining
power
of
nomenclature
which
determined
that
the
pursuit
of
these
things
was
"
gay
.
"
In
Mr
.
Horrock
there
was
certainly
an
apparent
unfathomableness
which
offered
play
to
the
imagination
.
Costume
,
at
a
glance
,
gave
him
a
thrilling
association
with
horses
(
enough
to
specify
the
hat
-
brim
which
took
the
slightest
upward
angle
just
to
escape
the
suspicion
of
bending
downwards
)
,
and
nature
had
given
him
a
face
which
by
dint
of
Mongolian
eyes
,
and
a
nose
,
mouth
,
and
chin
seeming
to
follow
his
hat
-
brim
in
a
moderate
inclination
upwards
,
gave
the
effect
of
a
subdued
unchangeable
sceptical
smile
,
of
all
expressions
the
most
tyrannous
over
a
susceptible
mind
,
and
,
when
accompanied
by
adequate
silence
,
likely
to
create
the
reputation
of
an
invincible
understanding
,
an
infinite
fund
of
humor
—
too
dry
to
flow
,
and
probably
in
a
state
of
immovable
crust
—
and
a
critical
judgment
which
,
if
you
could
ever
be
fortunate
enough
to
know
it
,
would
be
THE
thing
and
no
other
.
