This
had
happened
before
the
affair
of
Fred
Vincy
’
s
illness
had
given
to
Mr
.
Wrench
’
s
enmity
towards
Lydgate
more
definite
personal
ground
.
The
new
-
comer
already
threatened
to
be
a
nuisance
in
the
shape
of
rivalry
,
and
was
certainly
a
nuisance
in
the
shape
of
practical
criticism
or
reflections
on
his
hard
-
driven
elders
,
who
had
had
something
else
to
do
than
to
busy
themselves
with
untried
notions
.
His
practice
had
spread
in
one
or
two
quarters
,
and
from
the
first
the
report
of
his
high
family
had
led
to
his
being
pretty
generally
invited
,
so
that
the
other
medical
men
had
to
meet
him
at
dinner
in
the
best
houses
;
and
having
to
meet
a
man
whom
you
dislike
is
not
observed
always
to
end
in
a
mutual
attachment
.
There
was
hardly
ever
so
much
unanimity
among
them
as
in
the
opinion
that
Lydgate
was
an
arrogant
young
fellow
,
and
yet
ready
for
the
sake
of
ultimately
predominating
to
show
a
crawling
subservience
to
Bulstrode
.
That
Mr
.
Farebrother
,
whose
name
was
a
chief
flag
of
the
anti
-
Bulstrode
party
,
always
defended
Lydgate
and
made
a
friend
of
him
,
was
referred
to
Farebrother
’
s
unaccountable
way
of
fighting
on
both
sides
.
Here
was
plenty
of
preparation
for
the
outburst
of
professional
disgust
at
the
announcement
of
the
laws
Mr
.
Bulstrode
was
laying
down
for
the
direction
of
the
New
Hospital
,
which
were
the
more
exasperating
because
there
was
no
present
possibility
of
interfering
with
his
will
and
pleasure
,
everybody
except
Lord
Medlicote
having
refused
help
towards
the
building
,
on
the
ground
that
they
preferred
giving
to
the
Old
Infirmary
.
Mr
.
Bulstrode
met
all
the
expenses
,
and
had
ceased
to
be
sorry
that
he
was
purchasing
the
right
to
carry
out
his
notions
of
improvement
without
hindrance
from
prejudiced
coadjutors
;
but
he
had
had
to
spend
large
sums
,
and
the
building
had
lingered
.
Caleb
Garth
had
undertaken
it
,
had
failed
during
its
progress
,
and
before
the
interior
fittings
were
begun
had
retired
from
the
management
of
the
business
;
and
when
referring
to
the
Hospital
he
often
said
that
however
Bulstrode
might
ring
if
you
tried
him
,
he
liked
good
solid
carpentry
and
masonry
,
and
had
a
notion
both
of
drains
and
chimneys
.
In
fact
,
the
Hospital
had
become
an
object
of
intense
interest
to
Bulstrode
,
and
he
would
willingly
have
continued
to
spare
a
large
yearly
sum
that
he
might
rule
it
dictatorially
without
any
Board
;
but
he
had
another
favorite
object
which
also
required
money
for
its
accomplishment
:
he
wished
to
bay
some
land
in
the
neighborhood
of
Middlemarch
,
and
therefore
he
wished
to
get
considerable
contributions
towards
maintaining
the
Hospital
.
Meanwhile
he
framed
his
plan
of
management
.
The
Hospital
was
to
be
reserved
for
fever
in
all
its
forms
;
Lydgate
was
to
be
chief
medical
superintendent
,
that
he
might
have
free
authority
to
pursue
all
comparative
investigations
which
his
studies
,
particularly
in
Paris
,
had
shown
him
the
importance
of
,
the
other
medical
visitors
having
a
consultative
influence
,
but
no
power
to
contravene
Lydgate
’
s
ultimate
decisions
;
and
the
general
management
was
to
be
lodged
exclusively
in
the
hands
of
five
directors
associated
with
Mr
.
Bulstrode
,
who
were
to
have
votes
in
the
ratio
of
their
contributions
,
the
Board
itself
filling
up
any
vacancy
in
its
numbers
,
and
no
mob
of
small
contributors
being
admitted
to
a
share
of
government
.
There
was
an
immediate
refusal
on
the
part
of
every
medical
man
in
the
town
to
become
a
visitor
at
the
Fever
Hospital
.
"
Very
well
,
"
said
Lydgate
to
Mr
.
Bulstrode
,
"
we
have
a
capital
house
-
surgeon
and
dispenser
,
a
clear
-
headed
,
neat
-
handed
fellow
;
we
’
ll
get
Webbe
from
Crabsley
,
as
good
a
country
practitioner
as
any
of
them
,
to
come
over
twice
a
-
week
,
and
in
case
of
any
exceptional
operation
,
Protheroe
will
come
from
Brassing
.
I
must
work
the
harder
,
that
’
s
all
,
and
I
have
given
up
my
post
at
the
Infirmary
.
The
plan
will
flourish
in
spite
of
them
,
and
then
they
’
ll
be
glad
to
come
in
.
Things
can
’
t
last
as
they
are
:
there
must
be
all
sorts
of
reform
soon
,
and
then
young
fellows
may
be
glad
to
come
and
study
here
.
"
Lydgate
was
in
high
spirits
.
"
I
shall
not
flinch
,
you
may
depend
upon
it
,
Mr
.
Lydgate
,
"
said
Mr
.
Bulstrode
.
"
While
I
see
you
carrying
out
high
intentions
with
vigor
,
you
shall
have
my
unfailing
support
.
And
I
have
humble
confidence
that
the
blessing
which
has
hitherto
attended
my
efforts
against
the
spirit
of
evil
in
this
town
will
not
be
withdrawn
.
Suitable
directors
to
assist
me
I
have
no
doubt
of
securing
.
Mr
.
Brooke
of
Tipton
has
already
given
me
his
concurrence
,
and
a
pledge
to
contribute
yearly
:
he
has
not
specified
the
sum
—
probably
not
a
great
one
.
But
he
will
be
a
useful
member
of
the
board
.
"
A
useful
member
was
perhaps
to
be
defined
as
one
who
would
originate
nothing
,
and
always
vote
with
Mr
.
Bulstrode
.
The
medical
aversion
to
Lydgate
was
hardly
disguised
now
.
Neither
Dr
.
Sprague
nor
Dr
.
Minchin
said
that
he
disliked
Lydgate
’
s
knowledge
,
or
his
disposition
to
improve
treatment
:
what
they
disliked
was
his
arrogance
,
which
nobody
felt
to
be
altogether
deniable
.
They
implied
that
he
was
insolent
,
pretentious
,
and
given
to
that
reckless
innovation
for
the
sake
of
noise
and
show
which
was
the
essence
of
the
charlatan
.
The
word
charlatan
once
thrown
on
the
air
could
not
be
let
drop
.
In
those
days
the
world
was
agitated
about
the
wondrous
doings
of
Mr
.
St
.
John
Long
,
"
noblemen
and
gentlemen
"
attesting
his
extraction
of
a
fluid
like
mercury
from
the
temples
of
a
patient
.
