I
am
reading
the
Agricultural
Chemistry
,
"
said
this
excellent
baronet
,
"
because
I
am
going
to
take
one
of
the
farms
into
my
own
hands
,
and
see
if
something
cannot
be
done
in
setting
a
good
pattern
of
farming
among
my
tenants
.
Do
you
approve
of
that
,
Miss
Brooke
?
"
"
A
great
mistake
,
Chettam
,
"
interposed
Mr
.
Brooke
,
"
going
into
electrifying
your
land
and
that
kind
of
thing
,
and
making
a
parlor
of
your
cow
-
house
.
It
won
’
t
do
.
I
went
into
science
a
great
deal
myself
at
one
time
;
but
I
saw
it
would
not
do
.
It
leads
to
everything
;
you
can
let
nothing
alone
.
No
,
no
—
see
that
your
tenants
don
’
t
sell
their
straw
,
and
that
kind
of
thing
;
and
give
them
draining
-
tiles
,
you
know
.
But
your
fancy
farming
will
not
do
—
the
most
expensive
sort
of
whistle
you
can
buy
:
you
may
as
well
keep
a
pack
of
hounds
.
"
"
Surely
,
"
said
Dorothea
,
"
it
is
better
to
spend
money
in
finding
out
how
men
can
make
the
most
of
the
land
which
supports
them
all
,
than
in
keeping
dogs
and
horses
only
to
gallop
over
it
.
It
is
not
a
sin
to
make
yourself
poor
in
performing
experiments
for
the
good
of
all
.
"
She
spoke
with
more
energy
than
is
expected
of
so
young
a
lady
,
but
Sir
James
had
appealed
to
her
.
He
was
accustomed
to
do
so
,
and
she
had
often
thought
that
she
could
urge
him
to
many
good
actions
when
he
was
her
brother
-
in
-
law
.
Mr
.
Casaubon
turned
his
eyes
very
markedly
on
Dorothea
while
she
was
speaking
,
and
seemed
to
observe
her
newly
.
"
Young
ladies
don
’
t
understand
political
economy
,
you
know
,
"
said
Mr
.
Brooke
,
smiling
towards
Mr
.
Casaubon
.
"
I
remember
when
we
were
all
reading
Adam
Smith
.
THERE
is
a
book
,
now
.
I
took
in
all
the
new
ideas
at
one
time
—
human
perfectibility
,
now
.
But
some
say
,
history
moves
in
circles
;
and
that
may
be
very
well
argued
;
I
have
argued
it
myself
.
The
fact
is
,
human
reason
may
carry
you
a
little
too
far
—
over
the
hedge
,
in
fact
.
It
carried
me
a
good
way
at
one
time
;
but
I
saw
it
would
not
do
.
I
pulled
up
;
I
pulled
up
in
time
.
But
not
too
hard
.
I
have
always
been
in
favor
of
a
little
theory
:
we
must
have
Thought
;
else
we
shall
be
landed
back
in
the
dark
ages
.
But
talking
of
books
,
there
is
Southey
’
s
‘
Peninsular
War
.
’
I
am
reading
that
of
a
morning
.
You
know
Southey
?
"
"
No
"
said
Mr
.
Casaubon
,
not
keeping
pace
with
Mr
.
Brooke
’
s
impetuous
reason
,
and
thinking
of
the
book
only
.
"
I
have
little
leisure
for
such
literature
just
now
.
I
have
been
using
up
my
eyesight
on
old
characters
lately
;
the
fact
is
,
I
want
a
reader
for
my
evenings
;
but
I
am
fastidious
in
voices
,
and
I
cannot
endure
listening
to
an
imperfect
reader
.
It
is
a
misfortune
,
in
some
senses
:
I
feed
too
much
on
the
inward
sources
;
I
live
too
much
with
the
dead
.
My
mind
is
something
like
the
ghost
of
an
ancient
,
wandering
about
the
world
and
trying
mentally
to
construct
it
as
it
used
to
be
,
in
spite
of
ruin
and
confusing
changes
.
But
I
find
it
necessary
to
use
the
utmost
caution
about
my
eyesight
.
"
This
was
the
first
time
that
Mr
.
Casaubon
had
spoken
at
any
length
.
He
delivered
himself
with
precision
,
as
if
he
had
been
called
upon
to
make
a
public
statement
;
and
the
balanced
sing
-
song
neatness
of
his
speech
,
occasionally
corresponded
to
by
a
movement
of
his
head
,
was
the
more
conspicuous
from
its
contrast
with
good
Mr
.
Brooke
’
s
scrappy
slovenliness
.
Dorothea
said
to
herself
that
Mr
.
Casaubon
was
the
most
interesting
man
she
had
ever
seen
,
not
excepting
even
Monsieur
Liret
,
the
Vaudois
clergyman
who
had
given
conferences
on
the
history
of
the
Waldenses
.
