Mr
.
Trumbull
was
in
the
back
-
room
of
his
office
,
and
received
Rosamond
with
his
finest
manners
,
not
only
because
he
had
much
sensibility
to
her
charms
,
but
because
the
good
-
natured
fibre
in
him
was
stirred
by
his
certainty
that
Lydgate
was
in
difficulties
,
and
that
this
uncommonly
pretty
woman
—
this
young
lady
with
the
highest
personal
attractions
—
was
likely
to
feel
the
pinch
of
trouble
—
to
find
herself
involved
in
circumstances
beyond
her
control
.
He
begged
her
to
do
him
the
honor
to
take
a
seat
,
and
stood
before
her
trimming
and
comporting
himself
with
an
eager
solicitude
,
which
was
chiefly
benevolent
.
Rosamond
’
s
first
question
was
,
whether
her
husband
had
called
on
Mr
.
Trumbull
that
morning
,
to
speak
about
disposing
of
their
house
.
"
Yes
,
ma
’
am
,
yes
,
he
did
;
he
did
so
,
"
said
the
good
auctioneer
,
trying
to
throw
something
soothing
into
his
iteration
.
"
I
was
about
to
fulfil
his
order
,
if
possible
,
this
afternoon
.
He
wished
me
not
to
procrastinate
.
"
"
I
called
to
tell
you
not
to
go
any
further
,
Mr
.
Trumbull
;
and
I
beg
of
you
not
to
mention
what
has
been
said
on
the
subject
.
Will
you
oblige
me
?
"
"
Certainly
I
will
,
Mrs
.
Lydgate
,
certainly
.
Confidence
is
sacred
with
me
on
business
or
any
other
topic
.
I
am
then
to
consider
the
commission
withdrawn
?
"
said
Mr
.
Trumbull
,
adjusting
the
long
ends
of
his
blue
cravat
with
both
hands
,
and
looking
at
Rosamond
deferentially
.
"
Yes
,
if
you
please
.
I
find
that
Mr
.
Ned
Plymdale
has
taken
a
house
—
the
one
in
St
.
Peter
’
s
Place
next
to
Mr
.
Hackbutt
’
s
.
Mr
.
Lydgate
would
be
annoyed
that
his
orders
should
be
fulfilled
uselessly
.
And
besides
that
,
there
are
other
circumstances
which
render
the
proposal
unnecessary
.
"
"
Very
good
,
Mrs
.
Lydgate
,
very
good
.
I
am
at
your
commands
,
whenever
you
require
any
service
of
me
,
"
said
Mr
.
Trumbull
,
who
felt
pleasure
in
conjecturing
that
some
new
resources
had
been
opened
.
"
Rely
on
me
,
I
beg
.
The
affair
shall
go
no
further
.
"
That
evening
Lydgate
was
a
little
comforted
by
observing
that
Rosamond
was
more
lively
than
she
had
usually
been
of
late
,
and
even
seemed
interested
in
doing
what
would
please
him
without
being
asked
.
He
thought
,
"
If
she
will
be
happy
and
I
can
rub
through
,
what
does
it
all
signify
?
It
is
only
a
narrow
swamp
that
we
have
to
pass
in
a
long
journey
.
If
I
can
get
my
mind
clear
again
,
I
shall
do
.
"
He
was
so
much
cheered
that
he
began
to
search
for
an
account
of
experiments
which
he
had
long
ago
meant
to
look
up
,
and
had
neglected
out
of
that
creeping
self
-
despair
which
comes
in
the
train
of
petty
anxieties
.
He
felt
again
some
of
the
old
delightful
absorption
in
a
far
-
reaching
inquiry
,
while
Rosamond
played
the
quiet
music
which
was
as
helpful
to
his
meditation
as
the
plash
of
an
oar
on
the
evening
lake
.
It
was
rather
late
;
he
had
pushed
away
all
the
books
,
and
was
looking
at
the
fire
with
his
hands
clasped
behind
his
head
in
forgetfulness
of
everything
except
the
construction
of
a
new
controlling
experiment
,
when
Rosamond
,
who
had
left
the
piano
and
was
leaning
back
in
her
chair
watching
him
,
said
—
