He
was
not
an
ill
-
tempered
man
;
his
intellectual
activity
,
the
ardent
kindness
of
his
heart
,
as
well
as
his
strong
frame
,
would
always
,
under
tolerably
easy
conditions
,
have
kept
him
above
the
petty
uncontrolled
susceptibilities
which
make
bad
temper
.
But
he
was
now
a
prey
to
that
worst
irritation
which
arises
not
simply
from
annoyances
,
but
from
the
second
consciousness
underlying
those
annoyances
,
of
wasted
energy
and
a
degrading
preoccupation
,
which
was
the
reverse
of
all
his
former
purposes
.
"
THIS
is
what
I
am
thinking
of
;
and
THAT
is
what
I
might
have
been
thinking
of
,
"
was
the
bitter
incessant
murmur
within
him
,
making
every
difficulty
a
double
goad
to
impatience
.
Some
gentlemen
have
made
an
amazing
figure
in
literature
by
general
discontent
with
the
universe
as
a
trap
of
dulness
into
which
their
great
souls
have
fallen
by
mistake
;
but
the
sense
of
a
stupendous
self
and
an
insignificant
world
may
have
its
consolations
.
Lydgate
’
s
discontent
was
much
harder
to
bear
:
it
was
the
sense
that
there
was
a
grand
existence
in
thought
and
effective
action
lying
around
him
,
while
his
self
was
being
narrowed
into
the
miserable
isolation
of
egoistic
fears
,
and
vulgar
anxieties
for
events
that
might
allay
such
fears
.
His
troubles
will
perhaps
appear
miserably
sordid
,
and
beneath
the
attention
of
lofty
persons
who
can
know
nothing
of
debt
except
on
a
magnificent
scale
.
Doubtless
they
were
sordid
;
and
for
the
majority
,
who
are
not
lofty
,
there
is
no
escape
from
sordidness
but
by
being
free
from
money
-
craving
,
with
all
its
base
hopes
and
temptations
,
its
watching
for
death
,
its
hinted
requests
.
its
horse
-
dealer
’
s
desire
to
make
bad
work
pass
for
good
,
its
seeking
for
function
which
ought
to
be
another
’
s
,
its
compulsion
often
to
long
for
Luck
in
the
shape
of
a
wide
calamity
.
It
was
because
Lydgate
writhed
under
the
idea
of
getting
his
neck
beneath
this
vile
yoke
that
he
had
fallen
into
a
bitter
moody
state
which
was
continually
widening
Rosamond
’
s
alienation
from
him
.
After
the
first
disclosure
about
the
bill
of
sale
,
he
had
made
many
efforts
to
draw
her
into
sympathy
with
him
about
possible
measures
for
narrowing
their
expenses
,
and
with
the
threatening
approach
of
Christmas
his
propositions
grew
more
and
more
definite
.
"
We
two
can
do
with
only
one
servant
,
and
live
on
very
little
,
"
he
said
,
"
and
I
shall
manage
with
one
horse
.
"
For
Lydgate
,
as
we
have
seen
,
had
begun
to
reason
,
with
a
more
distinct
vision
,
about
the
expenses
of
living
,
and
any
share
of
pride
he
had
given
to
appearances
of
that
sort
was
meagre
compared
with
the
pride
which
made
him
revolt
from
exposure
as
a
debtor
,
or
from
asking
men
to
help
him
with
their
money
.
"
Of
course
you
can
dismiss
the
other
two
servants
,
if
you
like
,
"
said
Rosamond
;
"
but
I
should
have
thought
it
would
be
very
injurious
to
your
position
for
us
to
live
in
a
poor
way
.
You
must
expect
your
practice
to
be
lowered
.
"
"
My
dear
Rosamond
,
it
is
not
a
question
of
choice
.
We
have
begun
too
expensively
.
Peacock
,
you
know
,
lived
in
a
much
smaller
house
than
this
.
It
is
my
fault
:
I
ought
to
have
known
better
,
and
I
deserve
a
thrashing
—
if
there
were
anybody
who
had
a
right
to
give
it
me
—
for
bringing
you
into
the
necessity
of
living
in
a
poorer
way
than
you
have
been
used
to
.
But
we
married
because
we
loved
each
other
,
I
suppose
.
And
that
may
help
us
to
pull
along
till
things
get
better
.
Come
,
dear
,
put
down
that
work
and
come
to
me
.
"
He
was
really
in
chill
gloom
about
her
at
that
moment
,
but
he
dreaded
a
future
without
affection
,
and
was
determined
to
resist
the
oncoming
of
division
between
them
.
Rosamond
obeyed
him
,
and
he
took
her
on
his
knee
,
but
in
her
secret
soul
she
was
utterly
aloof
from
him
.
The
poor
thing
saw
only
that
the
world
was
not
ordered
to
her
liking
,
and
Lydgate
was
part
of
that
world
.
But
he
held
her
waist
with
one
hand
and
laid
the
other
gently
on
both
of
hers
;
for
this
rather
abrupt
man
had
much
tenderness
in
his
manners
towards
women
,
seeming
to
have
always
present
in
his
imagination
the
weakness
of
their
frames
and
the
delicate
poise
of
their
health
both
in
body
and
mind
.
And
he
began
again
to
speak
persuasively
.
"
I
find
,
now
I
look
into
things
a
little
,
Rosy
,
that
it
is
wonderful
what
an
amount
of
money
slips
away
in
our
housekeeping
.
I
suppose
the
servants
are
careless
,
and
we
have
had
a
great
many
people
coming
.
But
there
must
be
many
in
our
rank
who
manage
with
much
less
:
they
must
do
with
commoner
things
,
I
suppose
,
and
look
after
the
scraps
.
It
seems
,
money
goes
but
a
little
way
in
these
matters
,
for
Wrench
has
everything
as
plain
as
possible
,
and
he
has
a
very
large
practice
.
