I
’
ll
tell
you
what
,
Wrench
,
this
is
beyond
a
joke
,
"
said
the
Mayor
,
who
of
late
had
had
to
rebuke
offenders
with
an
official
air
,
and
how
broadened
himself
by
putting
his
thumbs
in
his
armholes
.
—
"
To
let
fever
get
unawares
into
a
house
like
this
.
There
are
some
things
that
ought
to
be
actionable
,
and
are
not
so
—
that
’
s
my
opinion
.
"
But
irrational
reproaches
were
easier
to
bear
than
the
sense
of
being
instructed
,
or
rather
the
sense
that
a
younger
man
,
like
Lydgate
,
inwardly
considered
him
in
need
of
instruction
,
for
"
in
point
of
fact
,
"
Mr
.
Wrench
afterwards
said
,
Lydgate
paraded
flighty
,
foreign
notions
,
which
would
not
wear
.
He
swallowed
his
ire
for
the
moment
,
but
he
afterwards
wrote
to
decline
further
attendance
in
the
case
.
The
house
might
be
a
good
one
,
but
Mr
.
Wrench
was
not
going
to
truckle
to
anybody
on
a
professional
matter
.
He
reflected
,
with
much
probability
on
his
side
,
that
Lydgate
would
by
-
and
-
by
be
caught
tripping
too
,
and
that
his
ungentlemanly
attempts
to
discredit
the
sale
of
drugs
by
his
professional
brethren
,
would
by
-
and
-
by
recoil
on
himself
.
He
threw
out
biting
remarks
on
Lydgate
’
s
tricks
,
worthy
only
of
a
quack
,
to
get
himself
a
factitious
reputation
with
credulous
people
.
That
cant
about
cures
was
never
got
up
by
sound
practitioners
.
This
was
a
point
on
which
Lydgate
smarted
as
much
as
Wrench
could
desire
.
To
be
puffed
by
ignorance
was
not
only
humiliating
,
but
perilous
,
and
not
more
enviable
than
the
reputation
of
the
weather
-
prophet
.
He
was
impatient
of
the
foolish
expectations
amidst
which
all
work
must
be
carried
on
,
and
likely
enough
to
damage
himself
as
much
as
Mr
.
Wrench
could
wish
,
by
an
unprofessional
openness
.
However
,
Lydgate
was
installed
as
medical
attendant
on
the
Vincys
,
and
the
event
was
a
subject
of
general
conversation
in
Middlemarch
.
Some
said
,
that
the
Vincys
had
behaved
scandalously
,
that
Mr
.
Vincy
had
threatened
Wrench
,
and
that
Mrs
.
Vincy
had
accused
him
of
poisoning
her
son
.
Others
were
of
opinion
that
Mr
.
Lydgate
’
s
passing
by
was
providential
,
that
he
was
wonderfully
clever
in
fevers
,
and
that
Bulstrode
was
in
the
right
to
bring
him
forward
.
Many
people
believed
that
Lydgate
’
s
coming
to
the
town
at
all
was
really
due
to
Bulstrode
;
and
Mrs
.
Taft
,
who
was
always
counting
stitches
and
gathered
her
information
in
misleading
fragments
caught
between
the
rows
of
her
knitting
,
had
got
it
into
her
head
that
Mr
.
Lydgate
was
a
natural
son
of
Bulstrode
’
s
,
a
fact
which
seemed
to
justify
her
suspicions
of
evangelical
laymen
.
She
one
day
communicated
this
piece
of
knowledge
to
Mrs
.
Farebrother
,
who
did
not
fail
to
tell
her
son
of
it
,
observing
—
"
I
should
not
be
surprised
at
anything
in
Bulstrode
,
but
I
should
be
sorry
to
think
it
of
Mr
.
Lydgate
.
"
"
Why
,
mother
,
"
said
Mr
Farebrother
,
after
an
explosive
laugh
,
"
you
know
very
well
that
Lydgate
is
of
a
good
family
in
the
North
.
He
never
heard
of
Bulstrode
before
he
came
here
.
"
"
That
is
satisfactory
so
far
as
Mr
.
Lydgate
is
concerned
,
Camden
,
"
said
the
old
lady
,
with
an
air
of
precision
.
—
"
But
as
to
Bulstrode
—
the
report
may
be
true
of
some
other
son
.
"
Let
the
high
Muse
chant
loves
Olympian
:
We
are
but
mortals
,
and
must
sing
of
man
.
