As
if
you
could
ever
squeeze
a
resolution
out
of
Brooke
!
"
"
Cadwallader
might
talk
to
him
.
"
"
Not
he
!
Humphrey
finds
everybody
charming
I
never
can
get
him
to
abuse
Casaubon
.
He
will
even
speak
well
of
the
bishop
,
though
I
tell
him
it
is
unnatural
in
a
beneficed
clergyman
;
what
can
one
do
with
a
husband
who
attends
so
little
to
the
decencies
?
I
hide
it
as
well
as
I
can
by
abusing
everybody
myself
.
Come
,
come
,
cheer
up
!
you
are
well
rid
of
Miss
Brooke
,
a
girl
who
would
have
been
requiring
you
to
see
the
stars
by
daylight
.
Between
ourselves
,
little
Celia
is
worth
two
of
her
,
and
likely
after
all
to
be
the
better
match
.
For
this
marriage
to
Casaubon
is
as
good
as
going
to
a
nunnery
.
"
"
Oh
,
on
my
own
account
—
it
is
for
Miss
Brooke
’
s
sake
I
think
her
friends
should
try
to
use
their
influence
.
"
"
Well
,
Humphrey
doesn
’
t
know
yet
.
But
when
I
tell
him
,
you
may
depend
on
it
he
will
say
,
‘
Why
not
?
Casaubon
is
a
good
fellow
—
and
young
—
young
enough
.
’
These
charitable
people
never
know
vinegar
from
wine
till
they
have
swallowed
it
and
got
the
colic
.
However
,
if
I
were
a
man
I
should
prefer
Celia
,
especially
when
Dorothea
was
gone
.
The
truth
is
,
you
have
been
courting
one
and
have
won
the
other
.
I
can
see
that
she
admires
you
almost
as
much
as
a
man
expects
to
be
admired
.
If
it
were
any
one
but
me
who
said
so
,
you
might
think
it
exaggeration
.
Good
-
by
!

Sir
James
handed
Mrs
.
Cadwallader
to
the
phaeton
,
and
then
jumped
on
his
horse
.
He
was
not
going
to
renounce
his
ride
because
of
his
friend
’
s
unpleasant
news
—
only
to
ride
the
faster
in
some
other
direction
than
that
of
Tipton
Grange
.
Now
,
why
on
earth
should
Mrs
.
Cadwallader
have
been
at
all
busy
about
Miss
Brooke
’
s
marriage
;
and
why
,
when
one
match
that
she
liked
to
think
she
had
a
hand
in
was
frustrated
,
should
she
have
straightway
contrived
the
preliminaries
of
another
?
Was
there
any
ingenious
plot
,
any
hide
-
and
-
seek
course
of
action
,
which
might
be
detected
by
a
careful
telescopic
watch
?
Not
at
all
:
a
telescope
might
have
swept
the
parishes
of
Tipton
and
Freshitt
,
the
whole
area
visited
by
Mrs
.
Cadwallader
in
her
phaeton
,
without
witnessing
any
interview
that
could
excite
suspicion
,
or
any
scene
from
which
she
did
not
return
with
the
same
unperturbed
keenness
of
eye
and
the
same
high
natural
color
.
In
fact
,
if
that
convenient
vehicle
had
existed
in
the
days
of
the
Seven
Sages
,
one
of
them
would
doubtless
have
remarked
,
that
you
can
know
little
of
women
by
following
them
about
in
their
pony
-
phaetons
.
Even
with
a
microscope
directed
on
a
water
-
drop
we
find
ourselves
making
interpretations
which
turn
out
to
be
rather
coarse
;
for
whereas
under
a
weak
lens
you
may
seem
to
see
a
creature
exhibiting
an
active
voracity
into
which
other
smaller
creatures
actively
play
as
if
they
were
so
many
animated
tax
-
pennies
,
a
stronger
lens
reveals
to
you
certain
tiniest
hairlets
which
make
vortices
for
these
victims
while
the
swallower
waits
passively
at
his
receipt
of
custom
.
In
this
way
,
metaphorically
speaking
,
a
strong
lens
applied
to
Mrs
.
Cadwallader
’
s
match
-
making
will
show
a
play
of
minute
causes
producing
what
may
be
called
thought
and
speech
vortices
to
bring
her
the
sort
of
food
she
needed
.
Her
life
was
rurally
simple
,
quite
free
from
secrets
either
foul
,
dangerous
,
or
otherwise
important
,
and
not
consciously
affected
by
the
great
affairs
of
the
world
.
All
the
more
did
the
affairs
of
the
great
world
interest
her
,
when
communicated
in
the
letters
of
high
-
born
relations
:
the
way
in
which
fascinating
younger
sons
had
gone
to
the
dogs
by
marrying
their
mistresses
;
the
fine
old
-
blooded
idiocy
of
young
Lord
Tapir
,
and
the
furious
gouty
humors
of
old
Lord
Megatherium
;
the
exact
crossing
of
genealogies
which
had
brought
a
coronet
into
a
new
branch
and
widened
the
relations
of
scandal
—
these
were
topics
of
which
she
retained
details
with
the
utmost
accuracy
,
and
reproduced
them
in
an
excellent
pickle
of
epigrams
,
which
she
herself
enjoyed
the
more
because
she
believed
as
unquestionably
in
birth
and
no
-
birth
as
she
did
in
game
and
vermin
.
She
would
never
have
disowned
any
one
on
the
ground
of
poverty
:
a
De
Bracy
reduced
to
take
his
dinner
in
a
basin
would
have
seemed
to
her
an
example
of
pathos
worth
exaggerating
,
and
I
fear
his
aristocratic
vices
would
not
have
horrified
her
.
But
her
feeling
towards
the
vulgar
rich
was
a
sort
of
religious
hatred
:
they
had
probably
made
all
their
money
out
of
high
retail
prices
,
and
Mrs
.
Cadwallader
detested
high
prices
for
everything
that
was
not
paid
in
kind
at
the
Rectory
:
such
people
were
no
part
of
God
’
s
design
in
making
the
world
;
and
their
accent
was
an
affliction
to
the
ears
.
A
town
where
such
monsters
abounded
was
hardly
more
than
a
sort
of
low
comedy
,
which
could
not
be
taken
account
of
in
a
well
-
bred
scheme
of
the
universe
.
Let
any
lady
who
is
inclined
to
be
hard
on
Mrs
.
