It
is
undeniable
that
but
for
the
desire
to
be
where
Dorothea
was
,
and
perhaps
the
want
of
knowing
what
else
to
do
,
Will
would
not
at
this
time
have
been
meditating
on
the
needs
of
the
English
people
or
criticising
English
statesmanship
:
he
would
probably
have
been
rambling
in
Italy
sketching
plans
for
several
dramas
,
trying
prose
and
finding
it
too
jejune
,
trying
verse
and
finding
it
too
artificial
,
beginning
to
copy
"
bits
"
from
old
pictures
,
leaving
off
because
they
were
"
no
good
,
"
and
observing
that
,
after
all
,
self
-
culture
was
the
principal
point
;
while
in
politics
he
would
have
been
sympathizing
warmly
with
liberty
and
progress
in
general
.
Our
sense
of
duty
must
often
wait
for
some
work
which
shall
take
the
place
of
dilettanteism
and
make
us
feel
that
the
quality
of
our
action
is
not
a
matter
of
indifference
.
Ladislaw
had
now
accepted
his
bit
of
work
,
though
it
was
not
that
indeterminate
loftiest
thing
which
he
had
once
dreamed
of
as
alone
worthy
of
continuous
effort
.
His
nature
warmed
easily
in
the
presence
of
subjects
which
were
visibly
mixed
with
life
and
action
,
and
the
easily
stirred
rebellion
in
him
helped
the
glow
of
public
spirit
.
In
spite
of
Mr
.
Casaubon
and
the
banishment
from
Lowick
,
he
was
rather
happy
;
getting
a
great
deal
of
fresh
knowledge
in
a
vivid
way
and
for
practical
purposes
,
and
making
the
"
Pioneer
"
celebrated
as
far
as
Brassing
(
never
mind
the
smallness
of
the
area
;
the
writing
was
not
worse
than
much
that
reaches
the
four
corners
of
the
earth
)
.
Mr
.
Brooke
was
occasionally
irritating
;
but
Will
’
s
impatience
was
relieved
by
the
division
of
his
time
between
visits
to
the
Grange
and
retreats
to
his
Middlemarch
lodgings
,
which
gave
variety
to
his
life
.
"
Shift
the
pegs
a
little
,
"
he
said
to
himself
,
"
and
Mr
.
Brooke
might
be
in
the
Cabinet
,
while
I
was
Under
-
Secretary
.
That
is
the
common
order
of
things
:
the
little
waves
make
the
large
ones
and
are
of
the
same
pattern
.
I
am
better
here
than
in
the
sort
of
life
Mr
.
Casaubon
would
have
trained
me
for
,
where
the
doing
would
be
all
laid
down
by
a
precedent
too
rigid
for
me
to
react
upon
.
I
don
’
t
care
for
prestige
or
high
pay
.
"
As
Lydgate
had
said
of
him
,
he
was
a
sort
of
gypsy
,
rather
enjoying
the
sense
of
belonging
to
no
class
;
he
had
a
feeling
of
romance
in
his
position
,
and
a
pleasant
consciousness
of
creating
a
little
surprise
wherever
he
went
.
That
sort
of
enjoyment
had
been
disturbed
when
he
had
felt
some
new
distance
between
himself
and
Dorothea
in
their
accidental
meeting
at
Lydgate
’
s
,
and
his
irritation
had
gone
out
towards
Mr
.
Casaubon
,
who
had
declared
beforehand
that
Will
would
lose
caste
.
"
I
never
had
any
caste
,
"
he
would
have
said
,
if
that
prophecy
had
been
uttered
to
him
,
and
the
quick
blood
would
have
come
and
gone
like
breath
in
his
transparent
skin
.
But
it
is
one
thing
to
like
defiance
,
and
another
thing
to
like
its
consequences
.
Meanwhile
,
the
town
opinion
about
the
new
editor
of
the
"
Pioneer
"
was
tending
to
confirm
Mr
.
Casaubon
’
s
view
.
Will
’
s
relationship
in
that
distinguished
quarter
did
not
,
like
Lydgate
’
s
high
connections
,
serve
as
an
advantageous
introduction
:
if
it
was
rumored
that
young
Ladislaw
was
Mr
.
Casaubon
’
s
nephew
or
cousin
,
it
was
also
rumored
that
"
Mr
.
Casaubon
would
have
nothing
to
do
with
him
.
"
"
Brooke
has
taken
him
up
,
"
said
Mr
.
Hawley
,
"
because
that
is
what
no
man
in
his
senses
could
have
expected
.
Casaubon
has
devilish
good
reasons
,
you
may
be
sure
,
for
turning
the
cold
shoulder
on
a
young
fellow
whose
bringing
-
up
he
paid
for
.
Just
like
Brooke
—
one
of
those
fellows
who
would
praise
a
cat
to
sell
a
horse
.
"
And
some
oddities
of
Will
’
s
,
more
or
less
poetical
,
appeared
to
support
Mr
.
Keck
,
the
editor
of
the
"
Trumpet
,
"
in
asserting
that
Ladislaw
,
if
the
truth
were
known
,
was
not
only
a
Polish
emissary
but
crack
-
brained
,
which
accounted
for
the
preternatural
quickness
and
glibness
of
his
speech
when
he
got
on
to
a
platform
—
as
he
did
whenever
he
had
an
opportunity
,
speaking
with
a
facility
which
cast
reflections
on
solid
Englishmen
generally
.
It
was
disgusting
to
Keck
to
see
a
strip
of
a
fellow
,
with
light
curls
round
his
head
,
get
up
and
speechify
by
the
hour
against
institutions
"
which
had
existed
when
he
was
in
his
cradle
.
