So
Mr
.
Casaubon
’
s
patience
held
out
further
,
and
when
after
all
it
turned
out
that
the
head
of
Saint
Thomas
Aquinas
would
be
more
perfect
if
another
sitting
could
be
had
,
it
was
granted
for
the
morrow
.
On
the
morrow
Santa
Clara
too
was
retouched
more
than
once
.
The
result
of
all
was
so
far
from
displeasing
to
Mr
.
Casaubon
,
that
he
arranged
for
the
purchase
of
the
picture
in
which
Saint
Thomas
Aquinas
sat
among
the
doctors
of
the
Church
in
a
disputation
too
abstract
to
be
represented
,
but
listened
to
with
more
or
less
attention
by
an
audience
above
.
The
Santa
Clara
,
which
was
spoken
of
in
the
second
place
,
Naumann
declared
himself
to
be
dissatisfied
with
—
he
could
not
,
in
conscience
,
engage
to
make
a
worthy
picture
of
it
;
so
about
the
Santa
Clara
the
arrangement
was
conditional
.
I
will
not
dwell
on
Naumann
’
s
jokes
at
the
expense
of
Mr
.
Casaubon
that
evening
,
or
on
his
dithyrambs
about
Dorothea
’
s
charm
,
in
all
which
Will
joined
,
but
with
a
difference
.
No
sooner
did
Naumann
mention
any
detail
of
Dorothea
’
s
beauty
,
than
Will
got
exasperated
at
his
presumption
:
there
was
grossness
in
his
choice
of
the
most
ordinary
words
,
and
what
business
had
he
to
talk
of
her
lips
?
She
was
not
a
woman
to
be
spoken
of
as
other
women
were
.
Will
could
not
say
just
what
he
thought
,
but
he
became
irritable
.
And
yet
,
when
after
some
resistance
he
had
consented
to
take
the
Casaubons
to
his
friend
’
s
studio
,
he
had
been
allured
by
the
gratification
of
his
pride
in
being
the
person
who
could
grant
Naumann
such
an
opportunity
of
studying
her
loveliness
—
or
rather
her
divineness
,
for
the
ordinary
phrases
which
might
apply
to
mere
bodily
prettiness
were
not
applicable
to
her
.
(
Certainly
all
Tipton
and
its
neighborhood
,
as
well
as
Dorothea
herself
,
would
have
been
surprised
at
her
beauty
being
made
so
much
of
.
In
that
part
of
the
world
Miss
Brooke
had
been
only
a
"
fine
young
woman
.
"
)
"
Oblige
me
by
letting
the
subject
drop
,
Naumann
.
Mrs
.
Casaubon
is
not
to
be
talked
of
as
if
she
were
a
model
,
"
said
Will
.
Naumann
stared
at
him
.
"
Schon
!
I
will
talk
of
my
Aquinas
.
The
head
is
not
a
bad
type
,
after
all
.
I
dare
say
the
great
scholastic
himself
would
have
been
flattered
to
have
his
portrait
asked
for
.
Nothing
like
these
starchy
doctors
for
vanity
!
It
was
as
I
thought
:
he
cared
much
less
for
her
portrait
than
his
own
.
"
"
He
’
s
a
cursed
white
-
blooded
pedantic
coxcomb
,
"
said
Will
,
with
gnashing
impetuosity
.
His
obligations
to
Mr
.
Casaubon
were
not
known
to
his
hearer
,
but
Will
himself
was
thinking
of
them
,
and
wishing
that
he
could
discharge
them
all
by
a
check
.
Naumann
gave
a
shrug
and
said
,
"
It
is
good
they
go
away
soon
,
my
dear
.
They
are
spoiling
your
fine
temper
.
"
All
Will
’
s
hope
and
contrivance
were
now
concentrated
on
seeing
Dorothea
when
she
was
alone
.
He
only
wanted
her
to
take
more
emphatic
notice
of
him
;
he
only
wanted
to
be
something
more
special
in
her
remembrance
than
he
could
yet
believe
himself
likely
to
be
.
He
was
rather
impatient
under
that
open
ardent
good
-
will
,
reach
he
saw
was
her
usual
state
of
feeling
.
The
remote
worship
of
a
woman
throned
out
of
their
reach
plays
a
great
part
in
men
’
s
lives
,
but
in
most
cases
the
worshipper
longs
for
some
queenly
recognition
,
some
approving
sign
by
which
his
soul
’
s
sovereign
may
cheer
him
without
descending
from
her
high
place
.
That
was
precisely
what
Will
wanted
.
But
there
were
plenty
of
contradictions
in
his
imaginative
demands
.
It
was
beautiful
to
see
how
Dorothea
’
s
eyes
turned
with
wifely
anxiety
and
beseeching
to
Mr
.
Casaubon
:
she
would
have
lost
some
of
her
halo
if
she
had
been
without
that
duteous
preoccupation
;
and
yet
at
the
next
moment
the
husband
’
s
sandy
absorption
of
such
nectar
was
too
intolerable
;
and
Will
’
s
longing
to
say
damaging
things
about
him
was
perhaps
not
the
less
tormenting
because
he
felt
the
strongest
reasons
for
restraining
it
.
Will
had
not
been
invited
to
dine
the
next
day
.
Hence
he
persuaded
himself
that
he
was
bound
to
call
,
and
that
the
only
eligible
time
was
the
middle
of
the
day
,
when
Mr
.
Casaubon
would
not
be
at
home
.
