She
never
left
Fred
’
s
side
when
her
husband
was
not
in
the
house
,
and
thus
Rosamond
was
in
the
unusual
position
of
being
much
alone
.
Lydgate
,
naturally
,
never
thought
of
staying
long
with
her
,
yet
it
seemed
that
the
brief
impersonal
conversations
they
had
together
were
creating
that
peculiar
intimacy
which
consists
in
shyness
.
They
were
obliged
to
look
at
each
other
in
speaking
,
and
somehow
the
looking
could
not
be
carried
through
as
the
matter
of
course
which
it
really
was
.
Lydgate
began
to
feel
this
sort
of
consciousness
unpleasant
and
one
day
looked
down
,
or
anywhere
,
like
an
ill
-
worked
puppet
.
But
this
turned
out
badly
:
the
next
day
,
Rosamond
looked
down
,
and
the
consequence
was
that
when
their
eyes
met
again
,
both
were
more
conscious
than
before
.
There
was
no
help
for
this
in
science
,
and
as
Lydgate
did
not
want
to
flirt
,
there
seemed
to
be
no
help
for
it
in
folly
.
It
was
therefore
a
relief
when
neighbors
no
longer
considered
the
house
in
quarantine
,
and
when
the
chances
of
seeing
Rosamond
alone
were
very
much
reduced
.
But
that
intimacy
of
mutual
embarrassment
,
in
which
each
feels
that
the
other
is
feeling
something
,
having
once
existed
,
its
effect
is
not
to
be
done
away
with
.
Talk
about
the
weather
and
other
well
-
bred
topics
is
apt
to
seem
a
hollow
device
,
and
behavior
can
hardly
become
easy
unless
it
frankly
recognizes
a
mutual
fascination
—
which
of
course
need
not
mean
anything
deep
or
serious
.
This
was
the
way
in
which
Rosamond
and
Lydgate
slid
gracefully
into
ease
,
and
made
their
intercourse
lively
again
.
Visitors
came
and
went
as
usual
,
there
was
once
more
music
in
the
drawing
-
room
,
and
all
the
extra
hospitality
of
Mr
.
Vincy
’
s
mayoralty
returned
.
Lydgate
,
whenever
he
could
,
took
his
seat
by
Rosamond
’
s
side
,
and
lingered
to
hear
her
music
,
calling
himself
her
captive
—
meaning
,
all
the
while
,
not
to
be
her
captive
.
The
preposterousness
of
the
notion
that
he
could
at
once
set
up
a
satisfactory
establishment
as
a
married
man
was
a
sufficient
guarantee
against
danger
.
This
play
at
being
a
little
in
love
was
agreeable
,
and
did
not
interfere
with
graver
pursuits
.
Flirtation
,
after
all
,
was
not
necessarily
a
singeing
process
.
Rosamond
,
for
her
part
,
had
never
enjoyed
the
days
so
much
in
her
life
before
:
she
was
sure
of
being
admired
by
some
one
worth
captivating
,
and
she
did
not
distinguish
flirtation
from
love
,
either
in
herself
or
in
another
.
She
seemed
to
be
sailing
with
a
fair
wind
just
whither
she
would
go
,
and
her
thoughts
were
much
occupied
with
a
handsome
house
in
Lowick
Gate
which
she
hoped
would
by
-
and
-
by
be
vacant
.
She
was
quite
determined
,
when
she
was
married
,
to
rid
herself
adroitly
of
all
the
visitors
who
were
not
agreeable
to
her
at
her
father
’
s
;
and
she
imagined
the
drawing
-
room
in
her
favorite
house
with
various
styles
of
furniture
.
Certainly
her
thoughts
were
much
occupied
with
Lydgate
himself
;
he
seemed
to
her
almost
perfect
:
if
he
had
known
his
notes
so
that
his
enchantment
under
her
music
had
been
less
like
an
emotional
elephant
’
s
,
and
if
he
had
been
able
to
discriminate
better
the
refinements
of
her
taste
in
dress
,
she
could
hardly
have
mentioned
a
deficiency
in
him
.
How
different
he
was
from
young
Plymdale
or
Mr
.
Caius
Larcher
!
Those
young
men
had
not
a
notion
of
French
,
and
could
speak
on
no
subject
with
striking
knowledge
,
except
perhaps
the
dyeing
and
carrying
trades
,
which
of
course
they
were
ashamed
to
mention
;
they
were
Middlemarch
gentry
,
elated
with
their
silver
-
headed
whips
and
satin
stocks
,
but
embarrassed
in
their
manners
,
and
timidly
jocose
:
even
Fred
was
above
them
,
having
at
least
the
accent
and
manner
of
a
university
man
.
Whereas
Lydgate
was
always
listened
to
,
bore
himself
with
the
careless
politeness
of
conscious
superiority
,
and
seemed
to
have
the
right
clothes
on
by
a
certain
natural
affinity
,
without
ever
having
to
think
about
them
.
Rosamond
was
proud
when
he
entered
the
room
,
and
when
he
approached
her
with
a
distinguishing
smile
,
she
had
a
delicious
sense
that
she
was
the
object
of
enviable
homage
.
If
Lydgate
had
been
aware
of
all
the
pride
he
excited
in
that
delicate
bosom
,
he
might
have
been
just
as
well
pleased
as
any
other
man
,
even
the
most
densely
ignorant
of
humoral
pathology
or
fibrous
tissue
:
he
held
it
one
of
the
prettiest
attitudes
of
the
feminine
mind
to
adore
a
man
’
s
pre
-
eminence
without
too
precise
a
knowledge
of
what
it
consisted
in
.
But
Rosamond
was
not
one
of
those
helpless
girls
who
betray
themselves
unawares
,
and
whose
behavior
is
awkwardly
driven
by
their
impulses
,
instead
of
being
steered
by
wary
grace
and
propriety
.
Do
you
imagine
that
her
rapid
forecast
and
rumination
concerning
house
-
furniture
and
society
were
ever
discernible
in
her
conversation
,
even
with
her
mamma
?
On
the
contrary
,
she
would
have
expressed
the
prettiest
surprise
and
disapprobation
if
she
had
heard
that
another
young
lady
had
been
detected
in
that
immodest
prematureness
—
indeed
,
would
probably
have
disbelieved
in
its
possibility
.
For
Rosamond
never
showed
any
unbecoming
knowledge
,
and
was
always
that
combination
of
correct
sentiments
,
music
,
dancing
,
drawing
,
elegant
note
-
writing
,
private
album
for
extracted
verse
,
and
perfect
blond
loveliness
,
which
made
the
irresistible
woman
for
the
doomed
man
of
that
date
.
Think
no
unfair
evil
of
her
,
pray
:
she
had
no
wicked
plots
,
nothing
sordid
or
mercenary
;
in
fact
,
she
never
thought
of
money
except
as
something
necessary
which
other
people
would
always
provide
.
She
was
not
in
the
habit
of
devising
falsehoods
,
and
if
her
statements
were
no
direct
clew
to
fact
,
why
,
they
were
not
intended
in
that
light
—
they
were
among
her
elegant
accomplishments
,
intended
to
please
.
Nature
had
inspired
many
arts
in
finishing
Mrs
.
Lemon
’
s
favorite
pupil
,
who
by
general
consent
(
Fred
’
s
excepted
)
was
a
rare
compound
of
beauty
,
cleverness
,
and
amiability
.
Lydgate
found
it
more
and
more
agreeable
to
be
with
her
,
and
there
was
no
constraint
now
,
there
was
a
delightful
interchange
of
influence
in
their
eyes
,
and
what
they
said
had
that
superfluity
of
meaning
for
them
,
which
is
observable
with
some
sense
of
flatness
by
a
third
person
;
still
they
had
no
interviews
or
asides
from
which
a
third
person
need
have
been
excluded
.
In
fact
,
they
flirted
;
and
Lydgate
was
secure
in
the
belief
that
they
did
nothing
else
.
If
a
man
could
not
love
and
be
wise
,
surely
he
could
flirt
and
be
wise
at
the
same
time
?
Really
,
the
men
in
Middlemarch
,
except
Mr
.
Farebrother
,
were
great
bores
,
and
Lydgate
did
not
care
about
commercial
politics
or
cards
:
what
was
he
to
do
for
relaxation
?
He
was
often
invited
to
the
Bulstrodes
’
;
but
the
girls
there
were
hardly
out
of
the
schoolroom
;
and
Mrs
.
Bulstrode
’
s
NAIVE
way
of
conciliating
piety
and
worldliness
,
the
nothingness
of
this
life
and
the
desirability
of
cut
glass
,
the
consciousness
at
once
of
filthy
rags
and
the
best
damask
,
was
not
a
sufficient
relief
from
the
weight
of
her
husband
’
s
invariable
seriousness
.
The
Vincys
’
house
,
with
all
its
faults
,
was
the
pleasanter
by
contrast
;
besides
,
it
nourished
Rosamond
—
sweet
to
look
at
as
a
half
-
opened
blush
-
rose
,
and
adorned
with
accomplishments
for
the
refined
amusement
of
man
.
But
he
made
some
enemies
,
other
than
medical
,
by
his
success
with
Miss
Vincy
.
One
evening
he
came
into
the
drawing
-
room
rather
late
,
when
several
other
visitors
were
there
.
The
card
-
table
had
drawn
off
the
elders
,
and
Mr
.
Ned
Plymdale
(
one
of
the
good
matches
in
Middlemarch
,
though
not
one
of
its
leading
minds
)
was
in
tete
-
a
-
tete
with
Rosamond
.
He
had
brought
the
last
"
Keepsake
,
"
the
gorgeous
watered
-
silk
publication
which
marked
modern
progress
at
that
time
;
and
he
considered
himself
very
fortunate
that
he
could
be
the
first
to
look
over
it
with
her
,
dwelling
on
the
ladies
and
gentlemen
with
shiny
copper
-
plate
cheeks
and
copper
-
plate
smiles
,
and
pointing
to
comic
verses
as
capital
and
sentimental
stories
as
interesting
.
Rosamond
was
gracious
,
and
Mr
.
