"
Of
course
it
is
,
"
said
Will
,
impatiently
.
"
But
if
you
are
to
wait
till
we
get
a
logical
Bill
,
you
must
put
yourself
forward
as
a
revolutionist
,
and
then
Middlemarch
would
not
elect
you
,
I
fancy
.
As
for
trimming
,
this
is
not
a
time
for
trimming
.
"
Mr
.
Brooke
always
ended
by
agreeing
with
Ladislaw
,
who
still
appeared
to
him
a
sort
of
Burke
with
a
leaven
of
Shelley
;
but
after
an
interval
the
wisdom
of
his
own
methods
reasserted
itself
,
and
he
was
again
drawn
into
using
them
with
much
hopefulness
.
At
this
stage
of
affairs
he
was
in
excellent
spirits
,
which
even
supported
him
under
large
advances
of
money
;
for
his
powers
of
convincing
and
persuading
had
not
yet
been
,
tested
by
anything
more
difficult
than
a
chairman
’
s
speech
introducing
other
orators
,
or
a
dialogue
with
a
Middlemarch
voter
,
from
which
he
came
away
with
a
sense
that
he
was
a
tactician
by
nature
,
and
that
it
was
a
pity
he
had
not
gone
earlier
into
this
kind
of
thing
.
He
was
a
little
conscious
of
defeat
,
however
,
with
Mr
.
Mawmsey
,
a
chief
representative
in
Middlemarch
of
that
great
social
power
,
the
retail
trader
,
and
naturally
one
of
the
most
doubtful
voters
in
the
borough
—
willing
for
his
own
part
to
supply
an
equal
quality
of
teas
and
sugars
to
reformer
and
anti
-
reformer
,
as
well
as
to
agree
impartially
with
both
,
and
feeling
like
the
burgesses
of
old
that
this
necessity
of
electing
members
was
a
great
burthen
to
a
town
;
for
even
if
there
were
no
danger
in
holding
out
hopes
to
all
parties
beforehand
,
there
would
be
the
painful
necessity
at
last
of
disappointing
respectable
people
whose
names
were
on
his
books
.
He
was
accustomed
to
receive
large
orders
from
Mr
.
Brooke
of
Tipton
;
but
then
,
there
were
many
of
Pinkerton
’
s
committee
whose
opinions
had
a
great
weight
of
grocery
on
their
side
.
Mr
.
Mawmsey
thinking
that
Mr
.
Brooke
,
as
not
too
"
clever
in
his
intellects
,
"
was
the
more
likely
to
forgive
a
grocer
who
gave
a
hostile
vote
under
pressure
,
had
become
confidential
in
his
back
parlor
.
"
As
to
Reform
,
sir
,
put
it
in
a
family
light
,
"
he
said
,
rattling
the
small
silver
in
his
pocket
,
and
smiling
affably
.
"
Will
it
support
Mrs
.
Mawmsey
,
and
enable
her
to
bring
up
six
children
when
I
am
no
more
?
I
put
the
question
FICTIOUSLY
,
knowing
what
must
be
the
answer
.
Very
well
,
sir
.
I
ask
you
what
,
as
a
husband
and
a
father
,
I
am
to
do
when
gentlemen
come
to
me
and
say
,
‘
Do
as
you
like
,
Mawmsey
;
but
if
you
vote
against
us
,
I
shall
get
my
groceries
elsewhere
:
when
I
sugar
my
liquor
I
like
to
feel
that
I
am
benefiting
the
country
by
maintaining
tradesmen
of
the
right
color
.
’
Those
very
words
have
been
spoken
to
me
,
sir
,
in
the
very
chair
where
you
are
now
sitting
.
I
don
’
t
mean
by
your
honorable
self
,
Mr
.
Brooke
.
"
"
No
,
no
,
no
—
that
’
s
narrow
,
you
know
.
Until
my
butler
complains
to
me
of
your
goods
,
Mr
.
Mawmsey
,
"
said
Mr
.
Brooke
,
soothingly
,
"
until
I
hear
that
you
send
bad
sugars
,
spices
—
that
sort
of
thing
—
I
shall
never
order
him
to
go
elsewhere
.
"
"
Sir
,
I
am
your
humble
servant
,
and
greatly
obliged
,
"
said
Mr
.
Mawmsey
,
feeling
that
politics
were
clearing
up
a
little
.
"
There
would
be
some
pleasure
in
voting
for
a
gentleman
who
speaks
in
that
honorable
manner
.
"
"
Well
,
you
know
,
Mr
.
Mawmsey
,
you
would
find
it
the
right
thing
to
put
yourself
on
our
side
.
This
Reform
will
touch
everybody
by
-
and
-
by
—
a
thoroughly
popular
measure
—
a
sort
of
A
,
B
,
C
,
you
know
,
that
must
come
first
before
the
rest
can
follow
.
I
quite
agree
with
you
that
you
’
ve
got
to
look
at
the
thing
in
a
family
light
:
but
public
spirit
,
now
.
We
’
re
all
one
family
,
you
know
—
it
’
s
all
one
cupboard
.
Such
a
thing
as
a
vote
,
now
:
why
,
it
may
help
to
make
men
’
s
fortunes
at
the
Cape
—
there
’
s
no
knowing
what
may
be
the
effect
of
a
vote
,
"
Mr
.
Brooke
ended
,
with
a
sense
of
being
a
little
out
at
sea
,
though
finding
it
still
enjoyable
.
But
Mr
.
Mawmsey
answered
in
a
tone
of
decisive
check
.
"
I
beg
your
pardon
,
sir
,
but
I
can
’
t
afford
that
.
When
I
give
a
vote
I
must
know
what
I
am
doing
;
I
must
look
to
what
will
be
the
effects
on
my
till
and
ledger
,
speaking
respectfully
.
Prices
,
I
’
ll
admit
,
are
what
nobody
can
know
the
merits
of
;
and
the
sudden
falls
after
you
’
ve
bought
in
currants
,
which
are
a
goods
that
will
not
keep
—
I
’
ve
never
;
myself
seen
into
the
ins
and
outs
there
;
which
is
a
rebuke
to
human
pride
.
But
as
to
one
family
,
there
’
s
debtor
and
creditor
,
I
hope
;
they
’
re
not
going
to
reform
that
away
;
else
I
should
vote
for
things
staying
as
they
are
.
Few
men
have
less
need
to
cry
for
change
than
I
have
,
personally
speaking
—
that
is
,
for
self
and
family
.
I
am
not
one
of
those
who
have
nothing
to
lose
:
I
mean
as
to
respectability
both
in
parish
and
private
business
,
and
noways
in
respect
of
your
honorable
self
and
custom
,
which
you
was
good
enough
to
say
you
would
not
withdraw
from
me
,
vote
or
no
vote
,
while
the
article
sent
in
was
satisfactory
.
"
After
this
conversation
Mr
.
