Dorothea
was
not
taken
by
surprise
:
many
incidents
had
been
leading
her
to
the
conjecture
of
some
intention
on
her
husband
’
s
part
which
might
make
a
new
yoke
for
her
.
She
did
not
answer
immediately
.
"
You
refuse
?
"
said
Mr
.
Casaubon
,
with
more
edge
in
his
tone
.
"
No
,
I
do
not
yet
refuse
,
"
said
Dorothea
,
in
a
clear
voice
,
the
need
of
freedom
asserting
itself
within
her
;
"
but
it
is
too
solemn
—
I
think
it
is
not
right
—
to
make
a
promise
when
I
am
ignorant
what
it
will
bind
me
to
.
Whatever
affection
prompted
I
would
do
without
promising
.
"
"
But
you
would
use
your
own
judgment
:
I
ask
you
to
obey
mine
;
you
refuse
.
"
"
No
,
dear
,
no
!
"
said
Dorothea
,
beseechingly
,
crushed
by
opposing
fears
.
"
But
may
I
wait
and
reflect
a
little
while
?
I
desire
with
my
whole
soul
to
do
what
will
comfort
you
;
but
I
cannot
give
any
pledge
suddenly
—
still
less
a
pledge
to
do
I
know
not
what
.
"
"
You
cannot
then
confide
in
the
nature
of
my
wishes
?
"
"
Grant
me
till
to
-
morrow
,
"
said
Dorothea
,
beseechingly
.
"
Till
to
-
morrow
then
,
"
said
Mr
.
Casaubon
.
Soon
she
could
hear
that
he
was
sleeping
,
but
there
was
no
more
sleep
for
her
.
While
she
constrained
herself
to
lie
still
lest
she
should
disturb
him
,
her
mind
was
carrying
on
a
conflict
in
which
imagination
ranged
its
forces
first
on
one
side
and
then
on
the
other
.
She
had
no
presentiment
that
the
power
which
her
husband
wished
to
establish
over
her
future
action
had
relation
to
anything
else
than
his
work
.
But
it
was
clear
enough
to
her
that
he
would
expect
her
to
devote
herself
to
sifting
those
mixed
heaps
of
material
,
which
were
to
be
the
doubtful
illustration
of
principles
still
more
doubtful
.
The
poor
child
had
become
altogether
unbelieving
as
to
the
trustworthiness
of
that
Key
which
had
made
the
ambition
and
the
labor
of
her
husband
’
s
life
.
It
was
not
wonderful
that
,
in
spite
of
her
small
instruction
,
her
judgment
in
this
matter
was
truer
than
his
:
for
she
looked
with
unbiassed
comparison
and
healthy
sense
at
probabilities
on
which
he
had
risked
all
his
egoism
.
And
now
she
pictured
to
herself
the
days
,
and
months
,
and
years
which
she
must
spend
in
sorting
what
might
be
called
shattered
mummies
,
and
fragments
of
a
tradition
which
was
itself
a
mosaic
wrought
from
crushed
ruins
—
sorting
them
as
food
for
a
theory
which
was
already
withered
in
the
birth
like
an
elfin
child
.
Doubtless
a
vigorous
error
vigorously
pursued
has
kept
the
embryos
of
truth
a
-
breathing
:
the
quest
of
gold
being
at
the
same
time
a
questioning
of
substances
,
the
body
of
chemistry
is
prepared
for
its
soul
,
and
Lavoisier
is
born
.
But
Mr
.
