"
Ah
,
there
’
s
enormous
patience
wanted
with
the
way
of
the
world
.
But
it
is
the
easier
for
a
man
to
wait
patiently
when
he
has
friends
who
love
him
,
and
ask
for
nothing
better
than
to
help
him
through
,
so
far
as
it
lies
in
their
power
.
"
"
Oh
yes
,
"
said
Lydgate
,
in
a
careless
tone
,
changing
his
attitude
and
looking
at
his
watch
.
"
People
make
much
more
of
their
difficulties
than
they
need
to
do
.
"
He
knew
as
distinctly
as
possible
that
this
was
an
offer
of
help
to
himself
from
Mr
.
Farebrother
,
and
he
could
not
bear
it
So
strangely
determined
are
we
mortals
,
that
,
after
having
been
long
gratified
with
the
sense
that
he
had
privately
done
the
Vicar
a
service
,
the
suggestion
that
the
Vicar
discerned
his
need
of
a
service
in
return
made
him
shrink
into
unconquerable
reticence
.
Besides
,
behind
all
making
of
such
offers
what
else
must
come
?
—
that
he
should
"
mention
his
case
,
"
imply
that
he
wanted
specific
things
.
At
that
moment
,
suicide
seemed
easier
.
Mr
.
Farebrother
was
too
keen
a
man
not
to
know
the
meaning
of
that
reply
,
and
there
was
a
certain
massiveness
in
Lydgate
’
s
manner
and
tone
,
corresponding
with
his
physique
,
which
if
he
repelled
your
advances
in
the
first
instance
seemed
to
put
persuasive
devices
out
of
question
.
"
What
time
are
you
?
"
said
the
Vicar
,
devouring
his
wounded
feeling
.
"
After
eleven
,
"
said
Lydgate
.
And
they
went
into
the
drawing
-
room
.
1st
Gent
.
Where
lies
the
power
,
there
let
the
blame
lie
too
.
2d
Gent
.
Nay
,
power
is
relative
;
you
cannot
frightThe
coming
pest
with
border
fortresses
,
Or
catch
your
carp
with
subtle
argument
.
All
force
is
twain
in
one
:
cause
is
not
causeUnless
effect
be
there
;
and
action
’
s
selfMust
needs
contain
a
passive
.
So
commandExists
but
with
obedience
.
"
Even
if
Lydgate
had
been
inclined
to
be
quite
open
about
his
affairs
,
he
knew
that
it
would
have
hardly
been
in
Mr
.
Farebrother
’
s
power
to
give
him
the
help
he
immediately
wanted
.
With
the
year
’
s
bills
coming
in
from
his
tradesmen
,
with
Dover
’
s
threatening
hold
on
his
furniture
,
and
with
nothing
to
depend
on
but
slow
dribbling
payments
from
patients
who
must
not
be
offended
—
for
the
handsome
fees
he
had
had
from
Freshitt
Hall
and
Lowick
Manor
had
been
easily
absorbed
—
nothing
less
than
a
thousand
pounds
would
have
freed
him
from
actual
embarrassment
,
and
left
a
residue
which
,
according
to
the
favorite
phrase
of
hopefulness
in
such
circumstances
,
would
have
given
him
"
time
to
look
about
him
.
"
Naturally
,
the
merry
Christmas
bringing
the
happy
New
Year
,
when
fellow
-
citizens
expect
to
be
paid
for
the
trouble
and
goods
they
have
smilingly
bestowed
on
their
neighbors
,
had
so
tightened
the
pressure
of
sordid
cares
on
Lydgate
’
s
mind
that
it
was
hardly
possible
for
him
to
think
unbrokenly
of
any
other
subject
,
even
the
most
habitual
and
soliciting
.
