Mr
.
Farebrother
paused
a
moment
and
looked
at
Mary
.
He
meant
to
give
Fred
his
full
advantage
,
but
it
would
be
well
,
he
thought
,
to
clear
her
mind
of
any
superstitions
,
such
as
women
sometimes
follow
when
they
do
a
man
the
wrong
of
marrying
him
as
an
act
of
atonement
.
Mary
’
s
cheeks
had
begun
to
burn
a
little
,
and
she
was
mute
.
"
I
mean
,
that
your
action
made
no
real
difference
to
Fred
’
s
lot
.
I
find
that
the
first
will
would
not
have
been
legally
good
after
the
burning
of
the
last
;
it
would
not
have
stood
if
it
had
been
disputed
,
and
you
may
be
sure
it
would
have
been
disputed
.
So
,
on
that
score
,
you
may
feel
your
mind
free
.
"
"
Thank
you
,
Mr
.
Farebrother
,
"
said
Mary
,
earnestly
.
"
I
am
grateful
to
you
for
remembering
my
feelings
.
"
"
Well
,
now
I
may
go
on
.
Fred
,
you
know
,
has
taken
his
degree
.
He
has
worked
his
way
so
far
,
and
now
the
question
is
,
what
is
he
to
do
?
That
question
is
so
difficult
that
he
is
inclined
to
follow
his
father
’
s
wishes
and
enter
the
Church
,
though
you
know
better
than
I
do
that
he
was
quite
set
against
that
formerly
.
I
have
questioned
him
on
the
subject
,
and
I
confess
I
see
no
insuperable
objection
to
his
being
a
clergyman
,
as
things
go
.
He
says
that
he
could
turn
his
mind
to
doing
his
best
in
that
vocation
,
on
one
condition
.
If
that
condition
were
fulfilled
I
would
do
my
utmost
in
helping
Fred
on
.
After
a
time
—
not
,
of
course
,
at
first
—
he
might
be
with
me
as
my
curate
,
and
he
would
have
so
much
to
do
that
his
stipend
would
be
nearly
what
I
used
to
get
as
vicar
.
But
I
repeat
that
there
is
a
condition
without
which
all
this
good
cannot
come
to
pass
.
He
has
opened
his
heart
to
me
,
Miss
Garth
,
and
asked
me
to
plead
for
him
.
The
condition
lies
entirely
in
your
feeling
.
"
Mary
looked
so
much
moved
,
that
he
said
after
a
moment
,
"
Let
us
walk
a
little
;
"
and
when
they
were
walking
he
added
,
"
To
speak
quite
plainly
,
Fred
will
not
take
any
course
which
would
lessen
the
chance
that
you
would
consent
to
be
his
wife
;
but
with
that
prospect
,
he
will
try
his
best
at
anything
you
approve
.
"
"
I
cannot
possibly
say
that
I
will
ever
be
his
wife
,
Mr
.
Farebrother
:
but
I
certainly
never
will
be
his
wife
if
he
becomes
a
clergyman
.
What
you
say
is
most
generous
and
kind
;
I
don
’
t
mean
for
a
moment
to
correct
your
judgment
.
It
is
only
that
I
have
my
girlish
,
mocking
way
of
looking
at
things
,
"
said
Mary
,
with
a
returning
sparkle
of
playfulness
in
her
answer
which
only
made
its
modesty
more
charming
.
"
He
wishes
me
to
report
exactly
what
you
think
,
"
said
Mr
.
Farebrother
.
"
I
could
not
love
a
man
who
is
ridiculous
,
"
said
Mary
,
not
choosing
to
go
deeper
.
"
Fred
has
sense
and
knowledge
enough
to
make
him
respectable
,
if
he
likes
,
in
some
good
worldly
business
,
but
I
can
never
imagine
him
preaching
and
exhorting
,
and
pronouncing
blessings
,
and
praying
by
the
sick
,
without
feeling
as
if
I
were
looking
at
a
caricature
.
His
being
a
clergyman
would
be
only
for
gentility
’
s
sake
,
and
I
think
there
is
nothing
more
contemptible
than
such
imbecile
gentility
.
I
used
to
think
that
of
Mr
.
Crowse
,
with
his
empty
face
and
neat
umbrella
,
and
mincing
little
speeches
.
What
right
have
such
men
to
represent
Christianity
—
as
if
it
were
an
institution
for
getting
up
idiots
genteelly
—
as
if
—
"
Mary
checked
herself
.
She
had
been
carried
along
as
if
she
had
been
speaking
to
Fred
instead
of
Mr
.
Farebrother
.
