"
Then
you
are
quite
confident
that
Mr
.
Lydgate
has
a
serious
attachment
to
you
?
"
Rosamond
’
s
cheeks
by
this
time
were
persistently
burning
,
and
she
felt
much
mortification
.
She
chose
to
be
silent
,
and
her
aunt
went
away
all
the
more
convinced
.
Mr
.
Bulstrode
in
things
worldly
and
indifferent
was
disposed
to
do
what
his
wife
bade
him
,
and
she
now
,
without
telling
her
reasons
,
desired
him
on
the
next
opportunity
to
find
out
in
conversation
with
Mr
.
Lydgate
whether
he
had
any
intention
of
marrying
soon
.
The
result
was
a
decided
negative
.
Mr
.
Bulstrode
,
on
being
cross
-
questioned
,
showed
that
Lydgate
had
spoken
as
no
man
would
who
had
any
attachment
that
could
issue
in
matrimony
.
Mrs
.
Bulstrode
now
felt
that
she
had
a
serious
duty
before
her
,
and
she
soon
managed
to
arrange
a
tete
-
a
-
tete
with
Lydgate
,
in
which
she
passed
from
inquiries
about
Fred
Vincy
’
s
health
,
and
expressions
of
her
sincere
anxiety
for
her
brother
’
s
large
family
,
to
general
remarks
on
the
dangers
which
lay
before
young
people
with
regard
to
their
settlement
in
life
.
Young
men
were
often
wild
and
disappointing
,
making
little
return
for
the
money
spent
on
them
,
and
a
girl
was
exposed
to
many
circumstances
which
might
interfere
with
her
prospects
.
"
Especially
when
she
has
great
attractions
,
and
her
parents
see
much
company
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Bulstrode
"
Gentlemen
pay
her
attention
,
and
engross
her
all
to
themselves
,
for
the
mere
pleasure
of
the
moment
,
and
that
drives
off
others
.
I
think
it
is
a
heavy
responsibility
,
Mr
.
Lydgate
,
to
interfere
with
the
prospects
of
any
girl
.
"
Here
Mrs
.
Bulstrode
fixed
her
eyes
on
him
,
with
an
unmistakable
purpose
of
warning
,
if
not
of
rebuke
.
"
Clearly
,
"
said
Lydgate
,
looking
at
her
—
perhaps
even
staring
a
little
in
return
.
"
On
the
other
hand
,
a
man
must
be
a
great
coxcomb
to
go
about
with
a
notion
that
he
must
not
pay
attention
to
a
young
lady
lest
she
should
fall
in
love
with
him
,
or
lest
others
should
think
she
must
.
"
"
Oh
,
Mr
.
Lydgate
,
you
know
well
what
your
advantages
are
.
You
know
that
our
young
men
here
cannot
cope
with
you
.
Where
you
frequent
a
house
it
may
militate
very
much
against
a
girl
’
s
making
a
desirable
settlement
in
life
,
and
prevent
her
from
accepting
offers
even
if
they
are
made
.
"
Lydgate
was
less
flattered
by
his
advantage
over
the
Middlemarch
Orlandos
than
he
was
annoyed
by
the
perception
of
Mrs
.
Bulstrode
’
s
meaning
.
She
felt
that
she
had
spoken
as
impressively
as
it
was
necessary
to
do
,
and
that
in
using
the
superior
word
"
militate
"
she
had
thrown
a
noble
drapery
over
a
mass
of
particulars
which
were
still
evident
enough
.
Lydgate
was
fuming
a
little
,
pushed
his
hair
back
with
one
hand
,
felt
curiously
in
his
waistcoat
-
pocket
with
the
other
,
and
then
stooped
to
beckon
the
tiny
black
spaniel
,
which
had
the
insight
to
decline
his
hollow
caresses
.
It
would
not
have
been
decent
to
go
away
,
because
he
had
been
dining
with
other
guests
,
and
had
just
taken
tea
.
But
Mrs
.
Bulstrode
,
having
no
doubt
that
she
had
been
understood
,
turned
the
conversation
.
