Yes
,
yes
.
The
long
and
short
of
it
is
,
somebody
has
told
old
Featherstone
,
giving
you
as
the
authority
,
that
Fred
has
been
borrowing
or
trying
to
borrow
money
on
the
prospect
of
his
land
.
Of
course
you
never
said
any
such
nonsense
.
But
the
old
fellow
will
insist
on
it
that
Fred
should
bring
him
a
denial
in
your
handwriting
;
that
is
,
just
a
bit
of
a
note
saying
you
don
’
t
believe
a
word
of
such
stuff
,
either
of
his
having
borrowed
or
tried
to
borrow
in
such
a
fool
’
s
way
.
I
suppose
you
can
have
no
objection
to
do
that
.
"
"
Pardon
me
.
I
have
an
objection
.
I
am
by
no
means
sure
that
your
son
,
in
his
recklessness
and
ignorance
—
I
will
use
no
severer
word
—
has
not
tried
to
raise
money
by
holding
out
his
future
prospects
,
or
even
that
some
one
may
not
have
been
foolish
enough
to
supply
him
on
so
vague
a
presumption
:
there
is
plenty
of
such
lax
money
-
lending
as
of
other
folly
in
the
world
.
"
"
But
Fred
gives
me
his
honor
that
he
has
never
borrowed
money
on
the
pretence
of
any
understanding
about
his
uncle
’
s
land
.
He
is
not
a
liar
.
I
don
’
t
want
to
make
him
better
than
he
is
.
I
have
blown
him
up
well
—
nobody
can
say
I
wink
at
what
he
does
.
But
he
is
not
a
liar
.
And
I
should
have
thought
—
but
I
may
be
wrong
—
that
there
was
no
religion
to
hinder
a
man
from
believing
the
best
of
a
young
fellow
,
when
you
don
’
t
know
worse
.
It
seems
to
me
it
would
be
a
poor
sort
of
religion
to
put
a
spoke
in
his
wheel
by
refusing
to
say
you
don
’
t
believe
such
harm
of
him
as
you
’
ve
got
no
good
reason
to
believe
.
"
"
I
am
not
at
all
sure
that
I
should
be
befriending
your
son
by
smoothing
his
way
to
the
future
possession
of
Featherstone
’
s
property
.
I
cannot
regard
wealth
as
a
blessing
to
those
who
use
it
simply
as
a
harvest
for
this
world
.
You
do
not
like
to
hear
these
things
,
Vincy
,
but
on
this
occasion
I
feel
called
upon
to
tell
you
that
I
have
no
motive
for
furthering
such
a
disposition
of
property
as
that
which
you
refer
to
.
I
do
not
shrink
from
saying
that
it
will
not
tend
to
your
son
’
s
eternal
welfare
or
to
the
glory
of
God
.
Why
then
should
you
expect
me
to
pen
this
kind
of
affidavit
,
which
has
no
object
but
to
keep
up
a
foolish
partiality
and
secure
a
foolish
bequest
?
"
"
If
you
mean
to
hinder
everybody
from
having
money
but
saints
and
evangelists
,
you
must
give
up
some
profitable
partnerships
,
that
’
s
all
I
can
say
,
"
Mr
.
Vincy
burst
out
very
bluntly
.
"
It
may
be
for
the
glory
of
God
,
but
it
is
not
for
the
glory
of
the
Middlemarch
trade
,
that
Plymdale
’
s
house
uses
those
blue
and
green
dyes
it
gets
from
the
Brassing
manufactory
;
they
rot
the
silk
,
that
’
s
all
I
know
about
it
.
Perhaps
if
other
people
knew
so
much
of
the
profit
went
to
the
glory
of
God
,
they
might
like
it
better
.
But
I
don
’
t
mind
so
much
about
that
—
I
could
get
up
a
pretty
row
,
if
I
chose
.
"
Mr
.
Bulstrode
paused
a
little
before
he
answered
.
"
You
pain
me
very
much
by
speaking
in
this
way
,
Vincy
.
I
do
not
expect
you
to
understand
my
grounds
of
action
—
it
is
not
an
easy
thing
even
to
thread
a
path
for
principles
in
the
intricacies
of
the
world
—
still
less
to
make
the
thread
clear
for
the
careless
and
the
scoffing
.
You
must
remember
,
if
you
please
,
that
I
stretch
my
tolerance
towards
you
as
my
wife
’
s
brother
,
and
that
it
little
becomes
you
to
complain
of
me
as
withholding
material
help
towards
the
worldly
position
of
your
family
.
I
must
remind
you
that
it
is
not
your
own
prudence
or
judgment
that
has
enabled
you
to
keep
your
place
in
the
trade
.
"
"
Very
likely
not
;
but
you
have
been
no
loser
by
my
trade
yet
,
"
said
Mr
.
Vincy
,
thoroughly
nettled
(
a
result
which
was
seldom
much
retarded
by
previous
resolutions
)
.
"
And
when
you
married
Harriet
,
I
don
’
t
see
how
you
could
expect
that
our
families
should
not
hang
by
the
same
nail
.
If
you
’
ve
changed
your
mind
,
and
want
my
family
to
come
down
in
the
world
,
you
’
d
better
say
so
.
I
’
ve
never
changed
;
I
’
m
a
plain
Churchman
now
,
just
as
I
used
to
be
before
doctrines
came
up
.
I
take
the
world
as
I
find
it
,
in
trade
and
everything
else
.
I
’
m
contented
to
be
no
worse
than
my
neighbors
.
But
if
you
want
us
to
come
down
in
the
world
,
say
so
.
I
shall
know
better
what
to
do
then
.
