DANIEL

That
change
of
plan
and
shifting
of
interest
which
Bulstrode
stated
or
betrayed
in
his
conversation
with
Lydgate
,
had
been
determined
in
him
by
some
severe
experience
which
he
had
gone
through
since
the
epoch
of
Mr
.
Larcher
’
s
sale
,
when
Raffles
had
recognized
Will
Ladislaw
,
and
when
the
banker
had
in
vain
attempted
an
act
of
restitution
which
might
move
Divine
Providence
to
arrest
painful
consequences
.
His
certainty
that
Raffles
,
unless
he
were
dead
,
would
return
to
Middlemarch
before
long
,
had
been
justified
.
On
Christmas
Eve
he
had
reappeared
at
The
Shrubs
.
Bulstrode
was
at
home
to
receive
him
,
and
hinder
his
communication
with
the
rest
of
the
family
,
but
he
could
not
altogether
hinder
the
circumstances
of
the
visit
from
compromising
himself
and
alarming
his
wife
.
Raffles
proved
more
unmanageable
than
he
had
shown
himself
to
be
in
his
former
appearances
,
his
chronic
state
of
mental
restlessness
,
the
growing
effect
of
habitual
intemperance
,
quickly
shaking
off
every
impression
from
what
was
said
to
him
.
He
insisted
on
staying
in
the
house
,
and
Bulstrode
,
weighing
two
sets
of
evils
,
felt
that
this
was
at
least
not
a
worse
alternative
than
his
going
into
the
town
.
He
kept
him
in
his
own
room
for
the
evening
and
saw
him
to
bed
,
Raffles
all
the
while
amusing
himself
with
the
annoyance
he
was
causing
this
decent
and
highly
prosperous
fellow
-
sinner
,
an
amusement
which
he
facetiously
expressed
as
sympathy
with
his
friend
’
s
pleasure
in
entertaining
a
man
who
had
been
serviceable
to
him
,
and
who
had
not
had
all
his
earnings
.
There
was
a
cunning
calculation
under
this
noisy
joking
—
a
cool
resolve
to
extract
something
the
handsomer
from
Bulstrode
as
payment
for
release
from
this
new
application
of
torture
.
But
his
cunning
had
a
little
overcast
its
mark
.
Bulstrode
was
indeed
more
tortured
than
the
coarse
fibre
of
Raffles
could
enable
him
to
imagine
.
He
had
told
his
wife
that
he
was
simply
taking
care
of
this
wretched
creature
,
the
victim
of
vice
,
who
might
otherwise
injure
himself
;
he
implied
,
without
the
direct
form
of
falsehood
,
that
there
was
a
family
tie
which
bound
him
to
this
care
,
and
that
there
were
signs
of
mental
alienation
in
Raffles
which
urged
caution
.
He
would
himself
drive
the
unfortunate
being
away
the
next
morning
.
In
these
hints
he
felt
that
he
was
supplying
Mrs
.
Bulstrode
with
precautionary
information
for
his
daughters
and
servants
,
and
accounting
for
his
allowing
no
one
but
himself
to
enter
the
room
even
with
food
and
drink
.
But
he
sat
in
an
agony
of
fear
lest
Raffles
should
be
overheard
in
his
loud
and
plain
references
to
past
facts
—
lest
Mrs
.
Bulstrode
should
be
even
tempted
to
listen
at
the
door
.
How
could
he
hinder
her
,
how
betray
his
terror
by
opening
the
door
to
detect
her
?
She
was
a
woman
of
honest
direct
habits
,
and
little
likely
to
take
so
low
a
course
in
order
to
arrive
at
painful
knowledge
;
but
fear
was
stronger
than
the
calculation
of
probabilities
.
In
this
way
Raffles
had
pushed
the
torture
too
far
,
and
produced
an
effect
which
had
not
been
in
his
plan
.
By
showing
himself
hopelessly
unmanageable
he
had
made
Bulstrode
feel
that
a
strong
defiance
was
the
only
resource
left
.
After
taking
Raffles
to
bed
that
night
the
banker
ordered
his
closed
carriage
to
be
ready
at
half
-
past
seven
the
next
morning
.
At
six
o
’
clock
he
had
already
been
long
dressed
,
and
had
spent
some
of
his
wretchedness
in
prayer
,
pleading
his
motives
for
averting
the
worst
evil
if
in
anything
he
had
used
falsity
and
spoken
what
was
not
true
before
God
.
For
Bulstrode
shrank
from
a
direct
lie
with
an
intensity
disproportionate
to
the
number
of
his
more
indirect
misdeeds
.
But
many
of
these
misdeeds
were
like
the
subtle
muscular
movements
which
are
not
taken
account
of
in
the
consciousness
,
though
they
bring
about
the
end
that
we
fix
our
mind
on
and
desire
.
And
it
is
only
what
we
are
vividly
conscious
of
that
we
can
vividly
imagine
to
be
seen
by
Omniscience
.
Bulstrode
carried
his
candle
to
the
bedside
of
Raffles
,
who
was
apparently
in
a
painful
dream
.
He
stood
silent
,
hoping
that
the
presence
of
the
light
would
serve
to
waken
the
sleeper
gradually
and
gently
,
for
he
feared
some
noise
as
the
consequence
of
a
too
sudden
awakening
.
He
had
watched
for
a
couple
of
minutes
or
more
the
shudderings
and
pantings
which
seemed
likely
to
end
in
waking
,
when
Raffles
,
with
a
long
half
-
stifled
moan
,
started
up
and
stared
round
him
in
terror
,
trembling
and
gasping
.
But
he
made
no
further
noise
,
and
Bulstrode
,
setting
down
the
candle
,
awaited
his
recovery
.
It
was
a
quarter
of
an
hour
later
before
Bulstrode
,
with
a
cold
peremptoriness
of
manner
which
he
had
not
before
shown
,
said
,
"
I
came
to
call
you
thus
early
,
Mr
.
Raffles
,
because
I
have
ordered
the
carriage
to
be
ready
at
half
-
past
seven
,
and
intend
myself
to
conduct
you
as
far
as
Ilsely
,
where
you
can
either
take
the
railway
or
await
a
coach
.
"
Raffles
was
about
to
speak
,
but
Bulstrode
anticipated
him
imperiously
with
the
words
,
"
Be
silent
,
sir
,
and
hear
what
I
have
to
say
.
I
shall
supply
you
with
money
now
,
and
I
will
furnish
you
with
a
reasonable
sum
from
time
to
time
,
on
your
application
to
me
by
letter
;
but
if
you
choose
to
present
yourself
here
again
,
if
you
return
to
Middlemarch
,
if
you
use
your
tongue
in
a
manner
injurious
to
me
,
you
will
have
to
live
on
such
fruits
as
your
malice
can
bring
you
,
without
help
from
me
.
