What
do
you
say
,
my
dear
?
"
said
her
mother
,
with
affectionate
deference
.
"
Papa
does
not
mean
anything
of
the
kind
,
"
said
Rosamond
,
quite
calmly
.
"
He
has
always
said
that
he
wished
me
to
marry
the
man
I
loved
.
And
I
shall
marry
Mr
.
Lydgate
.
It
is
seven
weeks
now
since
papa
gave
his
consent
.
And
I
hope
we
shall
have
Mrs
.
Bretton
’
s
house
.
"
"
Well
,
my
dear
,
I
shall
leave
you
to
manage
your
papa
.
You
always
do
manage
everybody
.
But
if
we
ever
do
go
and
get
damask
,
Sadler
’
s
is
the
place
—
far
better
than
Hopkins
’
s
.
Mrs
.
Bretton
’
s
is
very
large
,
though
:
I
should
love
you
to
have
such
a
house
;
but
it
will
take
a
great
deal
of
furniture
—
carpeting
and
everything
,
besides
plate
and
glass
.
And
you
hear
,
your
papa
says
he
will
give
no
money
.
Do
you
think
Mr
.
Lydgate
expects
it
?
"
"
You
cannot
imagine
that
I
should
ask
him
,
mamma
.
Of
course
he
understands
his
own
affairs
.
"
"
But
he
may
have
been
looking
for
money
,
my
dear
,
and
we
all
thought
of
your
having
a
pretty
legacy
as
well
as
Fred
;
—
and
now
everything
is
so
dreadful
—
there
’
s
no
pleasure
in
thinking
of
anything
,
with
that
poor
boy
disappointed
as
he
is
.
"
"
That
has
nothing
to
do
with
my
marriage
,
mamma
.
Fred
must
leave
off
being
idle
.
I
am
going
up
-
stairs
to
take
this
work
to
Miss
Morgan
:
she
does
the
open
hemming
very
well
.
Mary
Garth
might
do
some
work
for
me
now
,
I
should
think
.
Her
sewing
is
exquisite
;
it
is
the
nicest
thing
I
know
about
Mary
.
I
should
so
like
to
have
all
my
cambric
frilling
double
-
hemmed
.
And
it
takes
a
long
time
.
"
Mrs
.
Vincy
’
s
belief
that
Rosamond
could
manage
her
papa
was
well
founded
.
Apart
from
his
dinners
and
his
coursing
,
Mr
.
Vincy
,
blustering
as
he
was
,
had
as
little
of
his
own
way
as
if
he
had
been
a
prime
minister
:
the
force
of
circumstances
was
easily
too
much
for
him
,
as
it
is
for
most
pleasure
-
loving
florid
men
;
and
the
circumstance
called
Rosamond
was
particularly
forcible
by
means
of
that
mild
persistence
which
,
as
we
know
,
enables
a
white
soft
living
substance
to
make
its
way
in
spite
of
opposing
rock
.
Papa
was
not
a
rock
:
he
had
no
other
fixity
than
that
fixity
of
alternating
impulses
sometimes
called
habit
,
and
this
was
altogether
unfavorable
to
his
taking
the
only
decisive
line
of
conduct
in
relation
to
his
daughter
’
s
engagement
—
namely
,
to
inquire
thoroughly
into
Lydgate
’
s
circumstances
,
declare
his
own
inability
to
furnish
money
,
and
forbid
alike
either
a
speedy
marriage
or
an
engagement
which
must
be
too
lengthy
.
That
seems
very
simple
and
easy
in
the
statement
;
but
a
disagreeable
resolve
formed
in
the
chill
hours
of
the
morning
had
as
many
conditions
against
it
as
the
early
frost
,
and
rarely
persisted
under
the
warming
influences
of
the
day
.
The
indirect
though
emphatic
expression
of
opinion
to
which
Mr
.
Vincy
was
prone
suffered
much
restraint
in
this
case
:
Lydgate
was
a
proud
man
towards
whom
innuendoes
were
obviously
unsafe
,
and
throwing
his
hat
on
the
floor
was
out
of
the
question
.
Mr
.
Vincy
was
a
little
in
awe
of
him
,
a
little
vain
that
he
wanted
to
marry
Rosamond
,
a
little
indisposed
to
raise
a
question
of
money
in
which
his
own
position
was
not
advantageous
,
a
little
afraid
of
being
worsted
in
dialogue
with
a
man
better
educated
and
more
highly
bred
than
himself
,
and
a
little
afraid
of
doing
what
his
daughter
would
not
like
.
The
part
Mr
.
Vincy
preferred
playing
was
that
of
the
generous
host
whom
nobody
criticises
.
In
the
earlier
half
of
the
day
there
was
business
to
hinder
any
formal
communication
of
an
adverse
resolve
;
in
the
later
there
was
dinner
,
wine
,
whist
,
and
general
satisfaction
.
And
in
the
mean
while
the
hours
were
each
leaving
their
little
deposit
and
gradually
forming
the
final
reason
for
inaction
,
namely
,
that
action
was
too
late
.
The
accepted
lover
spent
most
of
his
evenings
in
Lowick
Gate
,
and
a
love
-
making
not
at
all
dependent
on
money
-
advances
from
fathers
-
in
-
law
,
or
prospective
income
from
a
profession
,
went
on
flourishingly
under
Mr
.
Vincy
’
s
own
eyes
.
Young
love
-
making
—
that
gossamer
web
!
Even
the
points
it
clings
to
—
the
things
whence
its
subtle
interlacings
are
swung
—
are
scarcely
perceptible
:
momentary
touches
of
fingertips
,
meetings
of
rays
from
blue
and
dark
orbs
,
unfinished
phrases
,
lightest
changes
of
cheek
and
lip
,
faintest
tremors
.
The
web
itself
is
made
of
spontaneous
beliefs
and
indefinable
joys
,
yearnings
of
one
life
towards
another
,
visions
of
completeness
,
indefinite
trust
.
