She
was
open
,
ardent
,
and
not
in
the
least
self
-
admiring
;
indeed
,
it
was
pretty
to
see
how
her
imagination
adorned
her
sister
Celia
with
attractions
altogether
superior
to
her
own
,
and
if
any
gentleman
appeared
to
come
to
the
Grange
from
some
other
motive
than
that
of
seeing
Mr
.
Brooke
,
she
concluded
that
he
must
be
in
love
with
Celia
:
Sir
James
Chettam
,
for
example
,
whom
she
constantly
considered
from
Celia
’
s
point
of
view
,
inwardly
debating
whether
it
would
be
good
for
Celia
to
accept
him
.
That
he
should
be
regarded
as
a
suitor
to
herself
would
have
seemed
to
her
a
ridiculous
irrelevance
.
Dorothea
,
with
all
her
eagerness
to
know
the
truths
of
life
,
retained
very
childlike
ideas
about
marriage
.
She
felt
sure
that
she
would
have
accepted
the
judicious
Hooker
,
if
she
had
been
born
in
time
to
save
him
from
that
wretched
mistake
he
made
in
matrimony
;
or
John
Milton
when
his
blindness
had
come
on
;
or
any
of
the
other
great
men
whose
odd
habits
it
would
have
been
glorious
piety
to
endure
;
but
an
amiable
handsome
baronet
,
who
said
"
Exactly
"
to
her
remarks
even
when
she
expressed
uncertainty
—
how
could
he
affect
her
as
a
lover
?
The
really
delightful
marriage
must
be
that
where
your
husband
was
a
sort
of
father
,
and
could
teach
you
even
Hebrew
,
if
you
wished
it
.
These
peculiarities
of
Dorothea
’
s
character
caused
Mr
.
Brooke
to
be
all
the
more
blamed
in
neighboring
families
for
not
securing
some
middle
-
aged
lady
as
guide
and
companion
to
his
nieces
.
But
he
himself
dreaded
so
much
the
sort
of
superior
woman
likely
to
be
available
for
such
a
position
,
that
he
allowed
himself
to
be
dissuaded
by
Dorothea
’
s
objections
,
and
was
in
this
case
brave
enough
to
defy
the
world
—
that
is
to
say
,
Mrs
.
Cadwallader
the
Rector
’
s
wife
,
and
the
small
group
of
gentry
with
whom
he
visited
in
the
northeast
corner
of
Loamshire
.
So
Miss
Brooke
presided
in
her
uncle
’
s
household
,
and
did
not
at
all
dislike
her
new
authority
,
with
the
homage
that
belonged
to
it
.
Sir
James
Chettam
was
going
to
dine
at
the
Grange
to
-
day
with
another
gentleman
whom
the
girls
had
never
seen
,
and
about
whom
Dorothea
felt
some
venerating
expectation
.
This
was
the
Reverend
Edward
Casaubon
,
noted
in
the
county
as
a
man
of
profound
learning
,
understood
for
many
years
to
be
engaged
on
a
great
work
concerning
religious
history
;
also
as
a
man
of
wealth
enough
to
give
lustre
to
his
piety
,
and
having
views
of
his
own
which
were
to
be
more
clearly
ascertained
on
the
publication
of
his
book
.
His
very
name
carried
an
impressiveness
hardly
to
be
measured
without
a
precise
chronology
of
scholarship
.
Early
in
the
day
Dorothea
had
returned
from
the
infant
school
which
she
had
set
going
in
the
village
,
and
was
taking
her
usual
place
in
the
pretty
sitting
-
room
which
divided
the
bedrooms
of
the
sisters
,
bent
on
finishing
a
plan
for
some
buildings
(
a
kind
of
work
which
she
delighted
in
)
,
when
Celia
,
who
had
been
watching
her
with
a
hesitating
desire
to
propose
something
,
said
—
"
Dorothea
,
dear
,
if
you
don
’
t
mind
—
if
you
are
not
very
busy
—
suppose
we
looked
at
mamma
’
s
jewels
to
-
day
,
and
divided
them
?
It
is
exactly
six
months
to
-
day
since
uncle
gave
them
to
you
,
and
you
have
not
looked
at
them
yet
.
"
Celia
’
s
face
had
the
shadow
of
a
pouting
expression
in
it
,
the
full
presence
of
the
pout
being
kept
back
by
an
habitual
awe
of
Dorothea
and
principle
;
two
associated
facts
which
might
show
a
mysterious
electricity
if
you
touched
them
incautiously
.
To
her
relief
,
Dorothea
’
s
eyes
were
full
of
laughter
as
she
looked
up
.
"
What
a
wonderful
little
almanac
you
are
,
Celia
!
Is
it
six
calendar
or
six
lunar
months
?
"
"
It
is
the
last
day
of
September
now
,
and
it
was
the
first
of
April
when
uncle
gave
them
to
you
.
You
know
,
he
said
that
he
had
forgotten
them
till
then
.
I
believe
you
have
never
thought
of
them
since
you
locked
them
up
in
the
cabinet
here
.
