I
’
ll
fetch
him
in
now
,
eh
,
Casaubon
?
"
said
Mr
.
Brooke
.
"
He
wouldn
’
t
come
in
till
I
had
announced
him
,
you
know
.
And
we
’
ll
go
down
and
look
at
the
picture
.
There
you
are
to
the
life
:
a
deep
subtle
sort
of
thinker
with
his
fore
-
finger
on
the
page
,
while
Saint
Bonaventure
or
somebody
else
,
rather
fat
and
florid
,
is
looking
up
at
the
Trinity
.
Everything
is
symbolical
,
you
know
—
the
higher
style
of
art
:
I
like
that
up
to
a
certain
point
,
but
not
too
far
—
it
’
s
rather
straining
to
keep
up
with
,
you
know
.
But
you
are
at
home
in
that
,
Casaubon
.
And
your
painter
’
s
flesh
is
good
—
solidity
,
transparency
,
everything
of
that
sort
.
I
went
into
that
a
great
deal
at
one
time
.
However
,
I
’
ll
go

REGNARD
:
Le
Legataire
Universel
.
When
the
animals
entered
the
Ark
in
pairs
,
one
may
imagine
that
allied
species
made
much
private
remark
on
each
other
,
and
were
tempted
to
think
that
so
many
forms
feeding
on
the
same
store
of
fodder
were
eminently
superfluous
,
as
tending
to
diminish
the
rations
.
(
I
fear
the
part
played
by
the
vultures
on
that
occasion
would
be
too
painful
for
art
to
represent
,
those
birds
being
disadvantageously
naked
about
the
gullet
,
and
apparently
without
rites
and
ceremonies
.
)
The
same
sort
of
temptation
befell
the
Christian
Carnivora
who
formed
Peter
Featherstone
’
s
funeral
procession
;
most
of
them
having
their
minds
bent
on
a
limited
store
which
each
would
have
liked
to
get
the
most
of
.
The
long
-
recognized
blood
-
relations
and
connections
by
marriage
made
already
a
goodly
number
,
which
,
multiplied
by
possibilities
,
presented
a
fine
range
for
jealous
conjecture
and
pathetic
hopefulness
.
Jealousy
of
the
Vincys
had
created
a
fellowship
in
hostility
among
all
persons
of
the
Featherstone
blood
,
so
that
in
the
absence
of
any
decided
indication
that
one
of
themselves
was
to
have
more
than
the
rest
,
the
dread
lest
that
long
-
legged
Fred
Vincy
should
have
the
land
was
necessarily
dominant
,
though
it
left
abundant
feeling
and
leisure
for
vaguer
jealousies
,
such
as
were
entertained
towards
Mary
Garth
.
Solomon
found
time
to
reflect
that
Jonah
was
undeserving
,
and
Jonah
to
abuse
Solomon
as
greedy
;
Jane
,
the
elder
sister
,
held
that
Martha
’
s
children
ought
not
to
expect
so
much
as
the
young
Waules
;
and
Martha
,
more
lax
on
the
subject
of
primogeniture
,
was
sorry
to
think
that
Jane
was
so
"
having
.
"
These
nearest
of
kin
were
naturally
impressed
with
the
unreasonableness
of
expectations
in
cousins
and
second
cousins
,
and
used
their
arithmetic
in
reckoning
the
large
sums
that
small
legacies
might
mount
to
,
if
there
were
too
many
of
them
.
Two
cousins
were
present
to
hear
the
will
,
and
a
second
cousin
besides
Mr
.
Trumbull
.
This
second
cousin
was
a
Middlemarch
mercer
of
polite
manners
and
superfluous
aspirates
.
The
two
cousins
were
elderly
men
from
Brassing
,
one
of
them
conscious
of
claims
on
the
score
of
inconvenient
expense
sustained
by
him
in
presents
of
oysters
and
other
eatables
to
his
rich
cousin
Peter
;
the
other
entirely
saturnine
,
leaning
his
hands
and
chin
on
a
stick
,
and
conscious
of
claims
based
on
no
narrow
performance
but
on
merit
generally
:
both
blameless
citizens
of
Brassing
,
who
wished
that
Jonah
Featherstone
did
not
live
there
.
The
wit
of
a
family
is
usually
best
received
among
strangers
.
"
Why
,
Trumbull
himself
is
pretty
sure
of
five
hundred
—
THAT
you
may
depend
—
I
shouldn
’
t
wonder
if
my
brother
promised
him
,
"
said
Solomon
,
musing
aloud
with
his
sisters
,
the
evening
before
the
funeral
.
"
Dear
,
dear
!
"
said
poor
sister
Martha
,
whose
imagination
of
hundreds
had
been
habitually
narrowed
to
the
amount
of
her
unpaid
rent
.
But
in
the
morning
all
the
ordinary
currents
of
conjecture
were
disturbed
by
the
presence
of
a
strange
mourner
who
had
plashed
among
them
as
if
from
the
moon
.
This
was
the
stranger
described
by
Mrs
.
Cadwallader
as
frog
-
faced
:
a
man
perhaps
about
two
or
three
and
thirty
,
whose
prominent
eyes
,
thin
-
lipped
,
downward
-
curved
mouth
,
and
hair
sleekly
brushed
away
from
a
forehead
that
sank
suddenly
above
the
ridge
of
the
eyebrows
,
certainly
gave
his
face
a
batrachian
unchangeableness
of
expression
.
Here
,
clearly
,
was
a
new
legatee
;
else
why
was
he
bidden
as
a
mourner
?
Here
were
new
possibilities
,
raising
a
new
uncertainty
,
which
almost
checked
remark
in
the
mourning
-
coaches
.
We
are
all
humiliated
by
the
sudden
discovery
of
a
fact
which
has
existed
very
comfortably
and
perhaps
been
staring
at
us
in
private
while
we
have
been
making
up
our
world
entirely
without
it
.
No
one
had
seen
this
questionable
stranger
before
except
Mary
Garth
,
and
she
knew
nothing
more
of
him
than
that
he
had
twice
been
to
Stone
Court
when
Mr
.
Featherstone
was
down
-
stairs
,
and
had
sat
alone
with
him
for
several
hours
.
She
had
found
an
opportunity
of
mentioning
this
to
her
father
,
and
perhaps
Caleb
’
s
were
the
only
eyes
,
except
the
lawyer
’
s
,
which
examined
the
stranger
with
more
of
inquiry
than
of
disgust
or
suspicion
.
Caleb
Garth
,
having
little
expectation
and
less
cupidity
,
was
interested
in
the
verification
of
his
own
guesses
,
and
the
calmness
with
which
he
half
smilingly
rubbed
his
chin
and
shot
intelligent
glances
much
as
if
he
were
valuing
a
tree
,
made
a
fine
contrast
with
the
alarm
or
scorn
visible
in
other
faces
when
the
unknown
mourner
,
whose
name
was
understood
to
be
Rigg
,
entered
the
wainscoted
parlor
and
took
his
seat
near
the
door
to
make
part
of
the
audience
when
the
will
should
be
read
.
Just
then
Mr
.
Solomon
and
Mr
.
Jonah
were
gone
up
-
stairs
with
the
lawyer
to
search
for
the
will
;
and
Mrs
.
Waule
,
seeing
two
vacant
seats
between
herself
and
Mr
.
Borthrop
Trumbull
,
had
the
spirit
to
move
next
to
that
great
authority
,
who
was
handling
his
watch
-
seals
and
trimming
his
outlines
with
a
determination
not
to
show
anything
so
compromising
to
a
man
of
ability
as
wonder
or
surprise
.
