One
evening
,
when
he
took
the
pains
to
go
to
Middlemarch
on
purpose
to
have
a
chat
with
Lydgate
as
of
old
,
he
noticed
in
him
an
air
of
excited
effort
quite
unlike
his
usual
easy
way
of
keeping
silence
or
breaking
it
with
abrupt
energy
whenever
he
had
anything
to
say
.
Lydgate
talked
persistently
when
they
were
in
his
work
-
room
,
putting
arguments
for
and
against
the
probability
of
certain
biological
views
;
but
he
had
none
of
those
definite
things
to
say
or
to
show
which
give
the
waymarks
of
a
patient
uninterrupted
pursuit
,
such
as
he
used
himself
to
insist
on
,
saying
that
"
there
must
be
a
systole
and
diastole
in
all
inquiry
,
"
and
that
"
a
man
’
s
mind
must
be
continually
expanding
and
shrinking
between
the
whole
human
horizon
and
the
horizon
of
an
object
-
glass
.
"
That
evening
he
seemed
to
be
talking
widely
for
the
sake
of
resisting
any
personal
bearing
;
and
before
long
they
went
into
the
drawing
room
,
where
Lydgate
,
having
asked
Rosamond
to
give
them
music
,
sank
back
in
his
chair
in
silence
,
but
with
a
strange
light
in
his
eyes
.
"
He
may
have
been
taking
an
opiate
,
"
was
a
thought
that
crossed
Mr
.
Farebrother
’
s
mind
—
"
tic
-
douloureux
perhaps
—
or
medical
worries
.
"
It
did
not
occur
to
him
that
Lydgate
’
s
marriage
was
not
delightful
:
he
believed
,
as
the
rest
did
,
that
Rosamond
was
an
amiable
,
docile
creature
,
though
he
had
always
thought
her
rather
uninteresting
—
a
little
too
much
the
pattern
-
card
of
the
finishing
-
school
;
and
his
mother
could
not
forgive
Rosamond
because
she
never
seemed
to
see
that
Henrietta
Noble
was
in
the
room
.
"
However
,
Lydgate
fell
in
love
with
her
,
"
said
the
Vicar
to
himself
,
"
and
she
must
be
to
his
taste
.
"
Mr
.
Farebrother
was
aware
that
Lydgate
was
a
proud
man
,
but
having
very
little
corresponding
fibre
in
himself
,
and
perhaps
too
little
care
about
personal
dignity
,
except
the
dignity
of
not
being
mean
or
foolish
,
he
could
hardly
allow
enough
for
the
way
in
which
Lydgate
shrank
,
as
from
a
burn
,
from
the
utterance
of
any
word
about
his
private
affairs
.
And
soon
after
that
conversation
at
Mr
.
Toller
’
s
,
the
Vicar
learned
something
which
made
him
watch
the
more
eagerly
for
an
opportunity
of
indirectly
letting
Lydgate
know
that
if
he
wanted
to
open
himself
about
any
difficulty
there
was
a
friendly
ear
ready
.
The
opportunity
came
at
Mr
.
Vincy
’
s
,
where
,
on
New
Year
’
s
Day
,
there
was
a
party
,
to
which
Mr
.
Farebrother
was
irresistibly
invited
,
on
the
plea
that
he
must
not
forsake
his
old
friends
on
the
first
new
year
of
his
being
a
greater
man
,
and
Rector
as
well
as
Vicar
.
And
this
party
was
thoroughly
friendly
:
all
the
ladies
of
the
Farebrother
family
were
present
;
the
Vincy
children
all
dined
at
the
table
,
and
Fred
had
persuaded
his
mother
that
if
she
did
not
invite
Mary
Garth
,
the
Farebrothers
would
regard
it
as
a
slight
to
themselves
,
Mary
being
their
particular
friend
.
Mary
came
,
and
Fred
was
in
high
spirits
,
though
his
enjoyment
was
of
a
checkered
kind
—
triumph
that
his
mother
should
see
Mary
’
s
importance
with
the
chief
personages
in
the
party
being
much
streaked
with
jealousy
when
Mr
.
Farebrother
sat
down
by
her
.
Fred
used
to
be
much
more
easy
about
his
own
accomplishments
in
the
days
when
he
had
not
begun
to
dread
being
"
bowled
out
by
Farebrother
,
"
and
this
terror
was
still
before
him
.
Mrs
.
Vincy
,
in
her
fullest
matronly
bloom
,
looked
at
Mary
’
s
little
figure
,
rough
wavy
hair
,
and
visage
quite
without
lilies
and
roses
,
and
wondered
;
trying
unsuccessfully
to
fancy
herself
caring
about
Mary
’
s
appearance
in
wedding
clothes
,
or
feeling
complacency
in
grandchildren
who
would
"
feature
"
the
Garths
.
However
,
the
party
was
a
merry
one
,
and
Mary
was
particularly
bright
;
being
glad
,
for
Fred
’
s
sake
,
that
his
friends
were
getting
kinder
to
her
,
and
being
also
quite
willing
that
they
should
see
how
much
she
was
valued
by
others
whom
they
must
admit
to
be
judges
.
Mr
.
Farebrother
noticed
that
Lydgate
seemed
bored
,
and
that
Mr
.
Vincy
spoke
as
little
as
possible
to
his
son
-
in
-
law
.
Rosamond
was
perfectly
graceful
and
calm
,
and
only
a
subtle
observation
such
as
the
Vicar
had
not
been
roused
to
bestow
on
her
would
have
perceived
the
total
absence
of
that
interest
in
her
husband
’
s
presence
which
a
loving
wife
is
sure
to
betray
,
even
if
etiquette
keeps
her
aloof
from
him
.
When
Lydgate
was
taking
part
in
the
conversation
,
she
never
looked
towards
him
any
more
than
if
she
had
been
a
sculptured
Psyche
modelled
to
look
another
way
:
and
when
,
after
being
called
out
for
an
hour
or
two
,
he
re
-
entered
the
room
,
she
seemed
unconscious
of
the
fact
,
which
eighteen
months
before
would
have
had
the
effect
of
a
numeral
before
ciphers
.
In
reality
,
however
,
she
was
intensely
aware
of
Lydgate
’
s
voice
and
movements
;
and
her
pretty
good
-
tempered
air
of
unconsciousness
was
a
studied
negation
by
which
she
satisfied
her
inward
opposition
to
him
without
compromise
of
propriety
.
When
the
ladies
were
in
the
drawing
-
room
after
Lydgate
had
been
called
away
from
the
dessert
,
Mrs
.
Farebrother
,
when
Rosamond
happened
to
be
near
her
,
said
—
"
You
have
to
give
up
a
great
deal
of
your
husband
’
s
society
,
Mrs
.
Lydgate
.
"
"
Yes
,
the
life
of
a
medical
man
is
very
arduous
:
especially
when
he
is
so
devoted
to
his
profession
as
Mr
.
Lydgate
is
,
"
said
Rosamond
,
who
was
standing
,
and
moved
easily
away
at
the
end
of
this
correct
little
speech
.
"
It
is
dreadfully
dull
for
her
when
there
is
no
company
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Vincy
,
who
was
seated
at
the
old
lady
’
s
side
.
"
I
am
sure
I
thought
so
when
Rosamond
was
ill
,
and
I
was
staying
with
her
.
You
know
,
Mrs
.
Farebrother
,
ours
is
a
cheerful
house
.
I
am
of
a
cheerful
disposition
myself
,
and
Mr
.
Vincy
always
likes
something
to
be
going
on
.
That
is
what
Rosamond
has
been
used
to
.
Very
different
from
a
husband
out
at
odd
hours
,
and
never
knowing
when
he
will
come
home
,
and
of
a
close
,
proud
disposition
,
I
think
"
—
indiscreet
Mrs
.
Vincy
did
lower
her
tone
slightly
with
this
parenthesis
.
"
But
Rosamond
always
had
an
angel
of
a
temper
;
her
brothers
used
very
often
not
to
please
her
,
but
she
was
never
the
girl
to
show
temper
;
from
a
baby
she
was
always
as
good
as
good
,
and
with
a
complexion
beyond
anything
.
