He
approached
her
to
shake
hands
quite
hurriedly
,
longing
but
not
daring
to
say
,
"
Don
’
t
mention
the
subject
to
Mr
.
Casaubon
.
"
No
,
he
dared
not
,
could
not
say
it
.
To
ask
her
to
be
less
simple
and
direct
would
be
like
breathing
on
the
crystal
that
you
want
to
see
the
light
through
.
And
there
was
always
the
other
great
dread
—
of
himself
becoming
dimmed
and
forever
ray
-
shorn
in
her
eyes
.
"
I
wish
you
could
have
stayed
,
"
said
Dorothea
,
with
a
touch
of
mournfulness
,
as
she
rose
and
put
out
her
hand
.
She
also
had
her
thought
which
she
did
not
like
to
express
:
—
Will
certainly
ought
to
lose
no
time
in
consulting
Mr
.
Casaubon
’
s
wishes
,
but
for
her
to
urge
this
might
seem
an
undue
dictation
.
So
they
only
said
"
Good
-
by
,
"
and
Will
quitted
the
house
,
striking
across
the
fields
so
as
not
to
run
any
risk
of
encountering
Mr
.
Casaubon
’
s
carriage
,
which
,
however
,
did
not
appear
at
the
gate
until
four
o
’
clock
.
That
was
an
unpropitious
hour
for
coming
home
:
it
was
too
early
to
gain
the
moral
support
under
ennui
of
dressing
his
person
for
dinner
,
and
too
late
to
undress
his
mind
of
the
day
’
s
frivolous
ceremony
and
affairs
,
so
as
to
be
prepared
for
a
good
plunge
into
the
serious
business
of
study
.
On
such
occasions
he
usually
threw
into
an
easy
-
chair
in
the
library
,
and
allowed
Dorothea
to
read
the
London
papers
to
him
,
closing
his
eyes
the
while
.
To
-
day
,
however
,
he
declined
that
relief
,
observing
that
he
had
already
had
too
many
public
details
urged
upon
him
;
but
he
spoke
more
cheerfully
than
usual
,
when
Dorothea
asked
about
his
fatigue
,
and
added
with
that
air
of
formal
effort
which
never
forsook
him
even
when
he
spoke
without
his
waistcoat
and
cravat
—
"
I
have
had
the
gratification
of
meeting
my
former
acquaintance
,
Dr
.
Spanning
,
to
-
day
,
and
of
being
praised
by
one
who
is
himself
a
worthy
recipient
of
praise
.
He
spoke
very
handsomely
of
my
late
tractate
on
the
Egyptian
Mysteries
—
using
,
in
fact
,
terms
which
it
would
not
become
me
to
repeat
.
"
In
uttering
the
last
clause
,
Mr
.
Casaubon
leaned
over
the
elbow
of
his
chair
,
and
swayed
his
head
up
and
down
,
apparently
as
a
muscular
outlet
instead
of
that
recapitulation
which
would
not
have
been
becoming
.
"
I
am
very
glad
you
have
had
that
pleasure
,
"
said
Dorothea
,
delighted
to
see
her
husband
less
weary
than
usual
at
this
hour
.
"
Before
you
came
I
had
been
regretting
that
you
happened
to
be
out
to
-
day
.
"
"
Why
so
,
my
dear
?
"
said
Mr
.
Casaubon
,
throwing
himself
backward
again
.
"
Because
Mr
.
Ladislaw
has
been
here
;
and
he
has
mentioned
a
proposal
of
my
uncle
’
s
which
I
should
like
to
know
your
opinion
of
.
"
Her
husband
she
felt
was
really
concerned
in
this
question
.
Even
with
her
ignorance
of
the
world
she
had
a
vague
impression
that
the
position
offered
to
Will
was
out
of
keeping
with
his
family
connections
,
and
certainly
Mr
.
Casaubon
had
a
claim
to
be
consulted
.
He
did
not
speak
,
but
merely
bowed
.
"
Dear
uncle
,
you
know
,
has
many
projects
.
It
appears
that
he
has
bought
one
of
the
Middlemarch
newspapers
,
and
he
has
asked
Mr
.
Ladislaw
to
stay
in
this
neighborhood
and
conduct
the
paper
for
him
,
besides
helping
him
in
other
ways
.
"
Dorothea
looked
at
her
husband
while
she
spoke
,
but
he
had
at
first
blinked
and
finally
closed
his
eyes
,
as
if
to
save
them
;
while
his
lips
became
more
tense
.
