When
we
were
coming
home
from
Lausanne
my
uncle
took
us
to
hear
the
great
organ
at
Freiberg
,
and
it
made
me
sob
.
"
"
That
kind
of
thing
is
not
healthy
,
my
dear
,
"
said
Mr
.
Brooke
.
"
Casaubon
,
she
will
be
in
your
hands
now
:
you
must
teach
my
niece
to
take
things
more
quietly
,
eh
,
Dorothea
?
"
He
ended
with
a
smile
,
not
wishing
to
hurt
his
niece
,
but
really
thinking
that
it
was
perhaps
better
for
her
to
be
early
married
to
so
sober
a
fellow
as
Casaubon
,
since
she
would
not
hear
of
Chettam
.
"
It
is
wonderful
,
though
,
"
he
said
to
himself
as
he
shuffled
out
of
the
room
—
"
it
is
wonderful
that
she
should
have
liked
him
.
However
,
the
match
is
good
.
I
should
have
been
travelling
out
of
my
brief
to
have
hindered
it
,
let
Mrs
.
Cadwallader
say
what
she
will
.
He
is
pretty
certain
to
be
a
bishop
,
is
Casaubon
.
That
was
a
very
seasonable
pamphlet
of
his
on
the
Catholic
Question
:
—
a
deanery
at
least
.
They
owe
him
a
deanery
.
"
And
here
I
must
vindicate
a
claim
to
philosophical
reflectiveness
,
by
remarking
that
Mr
.
Brooke
on
this
occasion
little
thought
of
the
Radical
speech
which
,
at
a
later
period
,
he
was
led
to
make
on
the
incomes
of
the
bishops
What
elegant
historian
would
neglect
a
striking
opportunity
for
pointing
out
that
his
heroes
did
not
foresee
the
history
of
the
world
,
or
even
their
own
actions
?
—
For
example
,
that
Henry
of
Navarre
,
when
a
Protestant
baby
,
little
thought
of
being
a
Catholic
monarch
;
or
that
Alfred
the
Great
,
when
he
measured
his
laborious
nights
with
burning
candles
,
had
no
idea
of
future
gentlemen
measuring
their
idle
days
with
watches
.
Here
is
a
mine
of
truth
,
which
,
however
vigorously
it
may
be
worked
,
is
likely
to
outlast
our
coal
.
But
of
Mr
.
Brooke
I
make
a
further
remark
perhaps
less
warranted
by
precedent
—
namely
,
that
if
he
had
foreknown
his
speech
,
it
might
not
have
made
any
great
difference
.
To
think
with
pleasure
of
his
niece
’
s
husband
having
a
large
ecclesiastical
income
was
one
thing
—
to
make
a
Liberal
speech
was
another
thing
;
and
it
is
a
narrow
mind
which
cannot
look
at
a
subject
from
various
points
of
view
.
"
Oh
,
rescue
her
!
I
am
her
brother
now
,
And
you
her
father
.
Every
gentle
maidShould
have
a
guardian
in
each
gentleman
.
"
It
was
wonderful
to
Sir
James
Chettam
how
well
he
continued
to
like
going
to
the
Grange
after
he
had
once
encountered
the
difficulty
of
seeing
Dorothea
for
the
first
time
in
the
light
of
a
woman
who
was
engaged
to
another
man
.
Of
course
the
forked
lightning
seemed
to
pass
through
him
when
he
first
approached
her
,
and
he
remained
conscious
throughout
the
interview
of
hiding
uneasiness
;
but
,
good
as
he
was
,
it
must
be
owned
that
his
uneasiness
was
less
than
it
would
have
been
if
he
had
thought
his
rival
a
brilliant
and
desirable
match
.
He
had
no
sense
of
being
eclipsed
by
Mr
.
Casaubon
;
he
was
only
shocked
that
Dorothea
was
under
a
melancholy
illusion
,
and
his
mortification
lost
some
of
its
bitterness
by
being
mingled
with
compassion
.
Nevertheless
,
while
Sir
James
said
to
himself
that
he
had
completely
resigned
her
,
since
with
the
perversity
of
a
Desdemona
she
had
not
affected
a
proposed
match
that
was
clearly
suitable
and
according
to
nature
;
he
could
not
yet
be
quite
passive
under
the
idea
of
her
engagement
to
Mr
.
Casaubon
.
On
the
day
when
he
first
saw
them
together
in
the
light
of
his
present
knowledge
,
it
seemed
to
him
that
he
had
not
taken
the
affair
seriously
enough
.
Brooke
was
really
culpable
;
he
ought
to
have
hindered
it
.
Who
could
speak
to
him
?
Something
might
be
done
perhaps
even
now
,
at
least
to
defer
the
marriage
.
On
his
way
home
he
turned
into
the
Rectory
and
asked
for
Mr
.
Cadwallader
.
