No
gossip
about
Mr
.
Casaubon
’
s
will
had
yet
reached
Ladislaw
:
the
air
seemed
to
be
filled
with
the
dissolution
of
Parliament
and
the
coming
election
,
as
the
old
wakes
and
fairs
were
filled
with
the
rival
clatter
of
itinerant
shows
;
and
more
private
noises
were
taken
little
notice
of
.
The
famous
"
dry
election
"
was
at
hand
,
in
which
the
depths
of
public
feeling
might
be
measured
by
the
low
flood
-
mark
of
drink
.
Will
Ladislaw
was
one
of
the
busiest
at
this
time
;
and
though
Dorothea
’
s
widowhood
was
continually
in
his
thought
,
he
was
so
far
from
wishing
to
be
spoken
to
on
the
subject
,
that
when
Lydgate
sought
him
out
to
tell
him
what
had
passed
about
the
Lowick
living
,
he
answered
rather
waspishly
—
"
Why
should
you
bring
me
into
the
matter
?
I
never
see
Mrs
.
Casaubon
,
and
am
not
likely
to
see
her
,
since
she
is
at
Freshitt
.
I
never
go
there
.
It
is
Tory
ground
,
where
I
and
the
‘
Pioneer
’
are
no
more
welcome
than
a
poacher
and
his
gun
.
"
The
fact
was
that
Will
had
been
made
the
more
susceptible
by
observing
that
Mr
.
Brooke
,
instead
of
wishing
him
,
as
before
,
to
come
to
the
Grange
oftener
than
was
quite
agreeable
to
himself
,
seemed
now
to
contrive
that
he
should
go
there
as
little
as
possible
.
This
was
a
shuffling
concession
of
Mr
.
Brooke
’
s
to
Sir
James
Chettam
’
s
indignant
remonstrance
;
and
Will
,
awake
to
the
slightest
hint
in
this
direction
,
concluded
that
he
was
to
be
kept
away
from
the
Grange
on
Dorothea
’
s
account
.
Her
friends
,
then
,
regarded
him
with
some
suspicion
?
Their
fears
were
quite
superfluous
:
they
were
very
much
mistaken
if
they
imagined
that
he
would
put
himself
forward
as
a
needy
adventurer
trying
to
win
the
favor
of
a
rich
woman
.
Until
now
Will
had
never
fully
seen
the
chasm
between
himself
and
Dorothea
—
until
now
that
he
was
come
to
the
brink
of
it
,
and
saw
her
on
the
other
side
.
He
began
,
not
without
some
inward
rage
,
to
think
of
going
away
from
the
neighborhood
:
it
would
be
impossible
for
him
to
show
any
further
interest
in
Dorothea
without
subjecting
himself
to
disagreeable
imputations
—
perhaps
even
in
her
mind
,
which
others
might
try
to
poison
.
"
We
are
forever
divided
,
"
said
Will
.
"
I
might
as
well
be
at
Rome
;
she
would
be
no
farther
from
me
.
"
But
what
we
call
our
despair
is
often
only
the
painful
eagerness
of
unfed
hope
.
There
were
plenty
of
reasons
why
he
should
not
go
—
public
reasons
why
he
should
not
quit
his
post
at
this
crisis
,
leaving
Mr
.
Brooke
in
the
lurch
when
he
needed
"
coaching
"
for
the
election
,
and
when
there
was
so
much
canvassing
,
direct
and
indirect
,
to
be
carried
on
.
Will
could
not
like
to
leave
his
own
chessmen
in
the
heat
of
a
game
;
and
any
candidate
on
the
right
side
,
even
if
his
brain
and
marrow
had
been
as
soft
as
was
consistent
with
a
gentlemanly
bearing
,
might
help
to
turn
a
majority
.
To
coach
Mr
.
Brooke
and
keep
him
steadily
to
the
idea
that
he
must
pledge
himself
to
vote
for
the
actual
Reform
Bill
,
instead
of
insisting
on
his
independence
and
power
of
pulling
up
in
time
,
was
not
an
easy
task
.
Mr
.
Farebrother
’
s
prophecy
of
a
fourth
candidate
"
in
the
bag
"
had
not
yet
been
fulfilled
,
neither
the
Parliamentary
Candidate
Society
nor
any
other
power
on
the
watch
to
secure
a
reforming
majority
seeing
a
worthy
nodus
for
interference
while
there
was
a
second
reforming
candidate
like
Mr
.
Brooke
,
who
might
be
returned
at
his
own
expense
;
and
the
fight
lay
entirely
between
Pinkerton
the
old
Tory
member
,
Bagster
the
new
Whig
member
returned
at
the
last
election
,
and
Brooke
the
future
independent
member
,
who
was
to
fetter
himself
for
this
occasion
only
.
Mr
.
Hawley
and
his
party
would
bend
all
their
forces
to
the
return
of
Pinkerton
,
and
Mr
.
Brooke
’
s
success
must
depend
either
on
plumpers
which
would
leave
Bagster
in
the
rear
,
or
on
the
new
minting
of
Tory
votes
into
reforming
votes
.
The
latter
means
,
of
course
,
would
be
preferable
.
This
prospect
of
converting
votes
was
a
dangerous
distraction
to
Mr
.
Brooke
:
his
impression
that
waverers
were
likely
to
be
allured
by
wavering
statements
,
and
also
the
liability
of
his
mind
to
stick
afresh
at
opposing
arguments
as
they
turned
up
in
his
memory
,
gave
Will
Ladislaw
much
trouble
.
"
You
know
there
are
tactics
in
these
things
,
"
said
Mr
.
Brooke
;
"
meeting
people
half
-
way
—
tempering
your
ideas
—
saying
,
‘
Well
now
,
there
’
s
something
in
that
,
’
and
so
on
.
I
agree
with
you
that
this
is
a
peculiar
occasion
—
the
country
with
a
will
of
its
own
—
political
unions
—
that
sort
of
thing
—
but
we
sometimes
cut
with
rather
too
sharp
a
knife
,
Ladislaw
.
These
ten
-
pound
householders
,
now
:
why
ten
?
Draw
the
line
somewhere
—
yes
:
but
why
just
at
ten
?
That
’
s
a
difficult
question
,
now
,
if
you
go
into
it
.
"
