With
regard
to
Stone
Court
,
since
Bulstrode
wished
to
retain
his
hold
on
the
stock
,
and
to
have
an
arrangement
by
which
he
himself
could
,
if
he
chose
,
resume
his
favorite
recreation
of
superintendence
,
Caleb
had
advised
him
not
to
trust
to
a
mere
bailiff
,
but
to
let
the
land
,
stock
,
and
implements
yearly
,
and
take
a
proportionate
share
of
the
proceeds
.
"
May
I
trust
to
you
to
find
me
a
tenant
on
these
terms
,
Mr
.
Garth
?
"
said
Bulstrode
.
"
And
will
you
mention
to
me
the
yearly
sum
which
would
repay
you
for
managing
these
affairs
which
we
have
discussed
together
?
"
"
I
’
ll
think
about
it
,
"
said
Caleb
,
in
his
blunt
way
.
"
I
’
ll
see
how
I
can
make
it
out
.
"
If
it
had
not
been
that
he
had
to
consider
Fred
Vincy
’
s
future
,
Mr
.
Garth
would
not
probably
have
been
glad
of
any
addition
to
his
work
,
of
which
his
wife
was
always
fearing
an
excess
for
him
as
he
grew
older
.
But
on
quitting
Bulstrode
after
that
conversation
,
a
very
alluring
idea
occurred
to
him
about
this
said
letting
of
Stone
Court
.
What
if
Bulstrode
would
agree
to
his
placing
Fred
Vincy
there
on
the
understanding
that
he
,
Caleb
Garth
,
should
be
responsible
for
the
management
?
It
would
be
an
excellent
schooling
for
Fred
;
he
might
make
a
modest
income
there
,
and
still
have
time
left
to
get
knowledge
by
helping
in
other
business
.
He
mentioned
his
notion
to
Mrs
.
Garth
with
such
evident
delight
that
she
could
not
bear
to
chill
his
pleasure
by
expressing
her
constant
fear
of
his
undertaking
too
much
.
"
The
lad
would
be
as
happy
as
two
,
"
he
said
,
throwing
himself
back
in
his
chair
,
and
looking
radiant
,
"
if
I
could
tell
him
it
was
all
settled
.
Think
;
Susan
!
His
mind
had
been
running
on
that
place
for
years
before
old
Featherstone
died
.
And
it
would
be
as
pretty
a
turn
of
things
as
could
be
that
he
should
hold
the
place
in
a
good
industrious
way
after
all
—
by
his
taking
to
business
.
For
it
’
s
likely
enough
Bulstrode
might
let
him
go
on
,
and
gradually
buy
the
stock
.
He
hasn
’
t
made
up
his
mind
,
I
can
see
,
whether
or
not
he
shall
settle
somewhere
else
as
a
lasting
thing
.
I
never
was
better
pleased
with
a
notion
in
my
life
.
And
then
the
children
might
be
married
by
-
and
-
by
,
Susan
.
"
"
You
will
not
give
any
hint
of
the
plan
to
Fred
,
until
you
are
sure
that
Bulstrode
would
agree
to
the
plan
?
"
said
Mrs
.
Garth
,
in
a
tone
of
gentle
caution
.
"
And
as
to
marriage
,
Caleb
,
we
old
people
need
not
help
to
hasten
it
.
"
"
Oh
,
I
don
’
t
know
,
"
said
Caleb
,
swinging
his
head
aside
.
"
Marriage
is
a
taming
thing
.
Fred
would
want
less
of
my
bit
and
bridle
.
However
,
I
shall
say
nothing
till
I
know
the
ground
I
’
m
treading
on
.
I
shall
speak
to
Bulstrode
again
.
"
He
took
his
earliest
opportunity
of
doing
so
.
Bulstrode
had
anything
but
a
warm
interest
in
his
nephew
Fred
Vincy
,
but
he
had
a
strong
wish
to
secure
Mr
.
Garth
’
s
services
on
many
scattered
points
of
business
at
which
he
was
sure
to
be
a
considerable
loser
,
if
they
were
under
less
conscientious
management
.
On
that
ground
he
made
no
objection
to
Mr
.
Garth
’
s
proposal
;
and
there
was
also
another
reason
why
he
was
not
sorry
to
give
a
consent
which
was
to
benefit
one
of
the
Vincy
family
.
It
was
that
Mrs
.
Bulstrode
,
having
heard
of
Lydgate
’
s
debts
,
had
been
anxious
to
know
whether
her
husband
could
not
do
something
for
poor
Rosamond
,
and
had
been
much
troubled
on
learning
from
him
that
Lydgate
’
s
affairs
were
not
easily
remediable
,
and
that
the
wisest
plan
was
to
let
them
"
take
their
course
.
"
Mrs
.
Bulstrode
had
then
said
for
the
first
time
,
"
I
think
you
are
always
a
little
hard
towards
my
family
,
Nicholas
.
And
I
am
sure
I
have
no
reason
to
deny
any
of
my
relatives
.
Too
worldly
they
may
be
,
but
no
one
ever
had
to
say
that
they
were
not
respectable
.
"
"
My
dear
Harriet
,
"
said
Mr
.
Bulstrode
,
wincing
under
his
wife
’
s
eyes
,
which
were
filling
with
tears
,
"
I
have
supplied
your
brother
with
a
great
deal
of
capital
.
I
cannot
be
expected
to
take
care
of
his
married
children
.
"
