When
their
backs
were
turned
,
young
Ladislaw
sat
down
to
go
on
with
his
sketching
,
and
as
he
did
so
his
face
broke
into
an
expression
of
amusement
which
increased
as
he
went
on
drawing
,
till
at
last
he
threw
back
his
head
and
laughed
aloud
.
Partly
it
was
the
reception
of
his
own
artistic
production
that
tickled
him
;
partly
the
notion
of
his
grave
cousin
as
the
lover
of
that
girl
;
and
partly
Mr
.
Brooke
’
s
definition
of
the
place
he
might
have
held
but
for
the
impediment
of
indolence
.
Mr
.
Will
Ladislaw
’
s
sense
of
the
ludicrous
lit
up
his
features
very
agreeably
:
it
was
the
pure
enjoyment
of
comicality
,
and
had
no
mixture
of
sneering
and
self
-
exaltation
.
"
What
is
your
nephew
going
to
do
with
himself
,
Casaubon
?
"
said
Mr
.
Brooke
,
as
they
went
on
.
"
My
cousin
,
you
mean
—
not
my
nephew
.
"
"
Yes
,
yes
,
cousin
.
But
in
the
way
of
a
career
,
you
know
.
"
"
The
answer
to
that
question
is
painfully
doubtful
.
On
leaving
Rugby
he
declined
to
go
to
an
English
university
,
where
I
would
gladly
have
placed
him
,
and
chose
what
I
must
consider
the
anomalous
course
of
studying
at
Heidelberg
.
And
now
he
wants
to
go
abroad
again
,
without
any
special
object
,
save
the
vague
purpose
of
what
he
calls
culture
,
preparation
for
he
knows
not
what
.
He
declines
to
choose
a
profession
.
"
"
He
has
no
means
but
what
you
furnish
,
I
suppose
.
"
"
I
have
always
given
him
and
his
friends
reason
to
understand
that
I
would
furnish
in
moderation
what
was
necessary
for
providing
him
with
a
scholarly
education
,
and
launching
him
respectably
.
I
am
-
therefore
bound
to
fulfil
the
expectation
so
raised
,
"
said
Mr
.
Casaubon
,
putting
his
conduct
in
the
light
of
mere
rectitude
:
a
trait
of
delicacy
which
Dorothea
noticed
with
admiration
.
"
He
has
a
thirst
for
travelling
;
perhaps
he
may
turn
out
a
Bruce
or
a
Mungo
Park
,
"
said
Mr
.
Brooke
.
"
I
had
a
notion
of
that
myself
at
one
time
.
"
"
No
,
he
has
no
bent
towards
exploration
,
or
the
enlargement
of
our
geognosis
:
that
would
be
a
special
purpose
which
I
could
recognize
with
some
approbation
,
though
without
felicitating
him
on
a
career
which
so
often
ends
in
premature
and
violent
death
.
But
so
far
is
he
from
having
any
desire
for
a
more
accurate
knowledge
of
the
earth
’
s
surface
,
that
he
said
he
should
prefer
not
to
know
the
sources
of
the
Nile
,
and
that
there
should
be
some
unknown
regions
preserved
as
hunting
grounds
for
the
poetic
imagination
.
