Miss
Brooke
,
however
,
was
not
again
seen
by
either
of
these
gentlemen
under
her
maiden
name
.
Not
long
after
that
dinner
-
party
she
had
become
Mrs
.
Casaubon
,
and
was
on
her
way
to
Rome
.
"
But
deeds
and
language
such
as
men
do
use
,
And
persons
such
as
comedy
would
choose
,
When
she
would
show
an
image
of
the
times
,
And
sport
with
human
follies
,
not
with
crimes
.
"
—
BEN
JONSON
.
Lydgate
,
in
fact
,
was
already
conscious
of
being
fascinated
by
a
woman
strikingly
different
from
Miss
Brooke
:
he
did
not
in
the
least
suppose
that
he
had
lost
his
balance
and
fallen
in
love
,
but
he
had
said
of
that
particular
woman
,
"
She
is
grace
itself
;
she
is
perfectly
lovely
and
accomplished
.
That
is
what
a
woman
ought
to
be
:
she
ought
to
produce
the
effect
of
exquisite
music
.
"
Plain
women
he
regarded
as
he
did
the
other
severe
facts
of
life
,
to
be
faced
with
philosophy
and
investigated
by
science
.
But
Rosamond
Vincy
seemed
to
have
the
true
melodic
charm
;
and
when
a
man
has
seen
the
woman
whom
he
would
have
chosen
if
he
had
intended
to
marry
speedily
,
his
remaining
a
bachelor
will
usually
depend
on
her
resolution
rather
than
on
his
.
Lydgate
believed
that
he
should
not
marry
for
several
years
:
not
marry
until
he
had
trodden
out
a
good
clear
path
for
himself
away
from
the
broad
road
which
was
quite
ready
made
.
He
had
seen
Miss
Vincy
above
his
horizon
almost
as
long
as
it
had
taken
Mr
.
Casaubon
to
become
engaged
and
married
:
but
this
learned
gentleman
was
possessed
of
a
fortune
;
he
had
assembled
his
voluminous
notes
,
and
had
made
that
sort
of
reputation
which
precedes
performance
—
often
the
larger
part
of
a
man
’
s
fame
.
He
took
a
wife
,
as
we
have
seen
,
to
adorn
the
remaining
quadrant
of
his
course
,
and
be
a
little
moon
that
would
cause
hardly
a
calculable
perturbation
.
But
Lydgate
was
young
,
poor
,
ambitious
.
He
had
his
half
-
century
before
him
instead
of
behind
him
,
and
he
had
come
to
Middlemarch
bent
on
doing
many
things
that
were
not
directly
fitted
to
make
his
fortune
or
even
secure
him
a
good
income
.
To
a
man
under
such
circumstances
,
taking
a
wife
is
something
more
than
a
question
of
adornment
,
however
highly
he
may
rate
this
;
and
Lydgate
was
disposed
to
give
it
the
first
place
among
wifely
functions
.
To
his
taste
,
guided
by
a
single
conversation
,
here
was
the
point
on
which
Miss
Brooke
would
be
found
wanting
,
notwithstanding
her
undeniable
beauty
.
She
did
not
look
at
things
from
the
proper
feminine
angle
.
The
society
of
such
women
was
about
as
relaxing
as
going
from
your
work
to
teach
the
second
form
,
instead
of
reclining
in
a
paradise
with
sweet
laughs
for
bird
-
notes
,
and
blue
eyes
for
a
heaven
.
Certainly
nothing
at
present
could
seem
much
less
important
to
Lydgate
than
the
turn
of
Miss
Brooke
’
s
mind
,
or
to
Miss
Brooke
than
the
qualities
of
the
woman
who
had
attracted
this
young
surgeon
.
But
any
one
watching
keenly
the
stealthy
convergence
of
human
lots
,
sees
a
slow
preparation
of
effects
from
one
life
on
another
,
which
tells
like
a
calculated
irony
on
the
indifference
or
the
frozen
stare
with
which
we
look
at
our
unintroduced
neighbor
.
Destiny
stands
by
sarcastic
with
our
dramatis
personae
folded
in
her
hand
.
Old
provincial
society
had
its
share
of
this
subtle
movement
:
had
not
only
its
striking
downfalls
,
its
brilliant
young
professional
dandies
who
ended
by
living
up
an
entry
with
a
drab
and
six
children
for
their
establishment
,
but
also
those
less
marked
vicissitudes
which
are
constantly
shifting
the
boundaries
of
social
intercourse
,
and
begetting
new
consciousness
of
interdependence
.
Some
slipped
a
little
downward
,
some
got
higher
footing
:
people
denied
aspirates
,
gained
wealth
,
and
fastidious
gentlemen
stood
for
boroughs
;
some
were
caught
in
political
currents
,
some
in
ecclesiastical
,
and
perhaps
found
themselves
surprisingly
grouped
in
consequence
;
while
a
few
personages
or
families
that
stood
with
rocky
firmness
amid
all
this
fluctuation
,
were
slowly
presenting
new
aspects
in
spite
of
solidity
,
and
altering
with
the
double
change
of
self
and
beholder
.
Municipal
town
and
rural
parish
gradually
made
fresh
threads
of
connection
—
gradually
,
as
the
old
stocking
gave
way
to
the
savings
-
bank
,
and
the
worship
of
the
solar
guinea
became
extinct
;
while
squires
and
baronets
,
and
even
lords
who
had
once
lived
blamelessly
afar
from
the
civic
mind
,
gathered
the
faultiness
of
closer
acquaintanceship
.
Settlers
,
too
,
came
from
distant
counties
,
some
with
an
alarming
novelty
of
skill
,
others
with
an
offensive
advantage
in
cunning
.
In
fact
,
much
the
same
sort
of
movement
and
mixture
went
on
in
old
England
as
we
find
in
older
Herodotus
,
who
also
,
in
telling
what
had
been
,
thought
it
well
to
take
a
woman
’
s
lot
for
his
starting
-
point
;
though
Io
,
as
a
maiden
apparently
beguiled
by
attractive
merchandise
,
was
the
reverse
of
Miss
Brooke
,
and
in
this
respect
perhaps
bore
more
resemblance
to
Rosamond
Vincy
,
who
had
excellent
taste
in
costume
,
with
that
nymph
-
like
figure
and
pure
blindness
which
give
the
largest
range
to
choice
in
the
flow
and
color
of
drapery
.
But
these
things
made
only
part
of
her
charm
.
She
was
admitted
to
be
the
flower
of
Mrs
.
Lemon
’
s
school
,
the
chief
school
in
the
county
,
where
the
teaching
included
all
that
was
demanded
in
the
accomplished
female
—
even
to
extras
,
such
as
the
getting
in
and
out
of
a
carriage
.
Mrs
.
Lemon
herself
had
always
held
up
Miss
Vincy
as
an
example
:
no
pupil
,
she
said
,
exceeded
that
young
lady
for
mental
acquisition
and
propriety
of
speech
,
while
her
musical
execution
was
quite
exceptional
.
We
cannot
help
the
way
in
which
people
speak
of
us
,
and
probably
if
Mrs
.
Lemon
had
undertaken
to
describe
Juliet
or
Imogen
,
these
heroines
would
not
have
seemed
poetical
.
The
first
vision
of
Rosamond
would
have
been
enough
with
most
judges
to
dispel
any
prejudice
excited
by
Mrs
.
Lemon
’
s
praise
.
Lydgate
could
not
be
long
in
Middlemarch
without
having
that
agreeable
vision
,
or
even
without
making
the
acquaintance
of
the
Vincy
family
;
for
though
Mr
.
Peacock
,
whose
practice
he
had
paid
something
to
enter
on
,
had
not
been
their
doctor
(
Mrs
.
Vincy
not
liking
the
lowering
system
adopted
by
him
)
,
he
had
many
patients
among
their
connections
and
acquaintances
.
For
who
of
any
consequence
in
Middlemarch
was
not
connected
or
at
least
acquainted
with
the
Vincys
?
They
were
old
manufacturers
,
and
had
kept
a
good
house
for
three
generations
,
in
which
there
had
naturally
been
much
intermarrying
with
neighbors
more
or
less
decidedly
genteel
.
Mr
.
Vincy
’
s
sister
had
made
a
wealthy
match
in
accepting
Mr
.
Bulstrode
,
who
,
however
,
as
a
man
not
born
in
the
town
,
and
altogether
of
dimly
known
origin
,
was
considered
to
have
done
well
in
uniting
himself
with
a
real
Middlemarch
family
;
on
the
other
hand
,
Mr
.
Vincy
had
descended
a
little
,
having
taken
an
innkeeper
’
s
daughter
.
But
on
this
side
too
there
was
a
cheering
sense
of
money
;
for
Mrs
.
Vincy
’
s
sister
had
been
second
wife
to
rich
old
Mr
.
Featherstone
,
and
had
died
childless
years
ago
,
so
that
her
nephews
and
nieces
might
be
supposed
to
touch
the
affections
of
the
widower
.
And
it
happened
that
Mr
.
Bulstrode
and
Mr
.
Featherstone
,
two
of
Peacock
’
s
most
important
patients
,
had
,
from
different
causes
,
given
an
especially
good
reception
to
his
successor
,
who
had
raised
some
partisanship
as
well
as
discussion
.
Mr
.
Wrench
,
medical
attendant
to
the
Vincy
family
,
very
early
had
grounds
for
thinking
lightly
of
Lydgate
’
s
professional
discretion
,
and
there
was
no
report
about
him
which
was
not
retailed
at
the
Vincys
’
,
where
visitors
were
frequent
.
Mr
.
Vincy
was
more
inclined
to
general
good
-
fellowship
than
to
taking
sides
,
but
there
was
no
need
for
him
to
be
hasty
in
making
any
new
man
acquaintance
.
Rosamond
silently
wished
that
her
father
would
invite
Mr
.
Lydgate
.
She
was
tired
of
the
faces
and
figures
she
had
always
been
used
to
—
the
various
irregular
profiles
and
gaits
and
turns
of
phrase
distinguishing
those
Middlemarch
young
men
whom
she
had
known
as
boys
.
She
had
been
at
school
with
girls
of
higher
position
,
whose
brothers
,
she
felt
sure
,
it
would
have
been
possible
for
her
to
be
more
interested
in
,
than
in
these
inevitable
Middlemarch
companions
.
But
she
would
not
have
chosen
to
mention
her
wish
to
her
father
;
and
he
,
for
his
part
,
was
in
no
hurry
on
the
subject
.
An
alderman
about
to
be
mayor
must
by
-
and
-
by
enlarge
his
dinner
-
parties
,
but
at
present
there
were
plenty
of
guests
at
his
well
-
spread
table
.
