"
Mind
you
don
’
t
,
though
,
"
said
his
wife
,
lifting
up
her
finger
.
"
No
,
no
;
but
it
’
s
a
fine
thing
to
come
to
a
man
when
he
’
s
seen
into
the
nature
of
business
:
to
have
the
chance
of
getting
a
bit
of
the
country
into
good
fettle
,
as
they
say
,
and
putting
men
into
the
right
way
with
their
farming
,
and
getting
a
bit
of
good
contriving
and
solid
building
done
—
that
those
who
are
living
and
those
who
come
after
will
be
the
better
for
.
I
’
d
sooner
have
it
than
a
fortune
.
I
hold
it
the
most
honorable
work
that
is
.
"
Here
Caleb
laid
down
his
letters
,
thrust
his
fingers
between
the
buttons
of
his
waistcoat
,
and
sat
upright
,
but
presently
proceeded
with
some
awe
in
his
voice
and
moving
his
head
slowly
aside
—
"
It
’
s
a
great
gift
of
God
,
Susan
.
"
"
That
it
is
,
Caleb
,
"
said
his
wife
,
with
answering
fervor
.
"
And
it
will
be
a
blessing
to
your
children
to
have
had
a
father
who
did
such
work
:
a
father
whose
good
work
remains
though
his
name
may
be
forgotten
.
"
She
could
not
say
any
more
to
him
then
about
the
pay
.
In
the
evening
,
when
Caleb
,
rather
tired
with
his
day
’
s
work
,
was
seated
in
silence
with
his
pocket
-
book
open
on
his
knee
,
while
Mrs
.
Garth
and
Mary
were
at
their
sewing
,
and
Letty
in
a
corner
was
whispering
a
dialogue
with
her
doll
,
Mr
.
Farebrother
came
up
the
orchard
walk
,
dividing
the
bright
August
lights
and
shadows
with
the
tufted
grass
and
the
apple
-
tree
boughs
.
We
know
that
he
was
fond
of
his
parishioners
the
Garths
,
and
had
thought
Mary
worth
mentioning
to
Lydgate
.
He
used
to
the
full
the
clergyman
’
s
privilege
of
disregarding
the
Middlemarch
discrimination
of
ranks
,
and
always
told
his
mother
that
Mrs
.
Garth
was
more
of
a
lady
than
any
matron
in
the
town
.
Still
,
you
see
,
he
spent
his
evenings
at
the
Vincys
’
,
where
the
matron
,
though
less
of
a
lady
,
presided
over
a
well
-
lit
drawing
-
room
and
whist
.
In
those
days
human
intercourse
was
not
determined
solely
by
respect
.
But
the
Vicar
did
heartily
respect
the
Garths
,
and
a
visit
from
him
was
no
surprise
to
that
family
.
Nevertheless
he
accounted
for
it
even
while
he
was
shaking
hands
,
by
saying
,
"
I
come
as
an
envoy
,
Mrs
.
Garth
:
I
have
something
to
say
to
you
and
Garth
on
behalf
of
Fred
Vincy
.
The
fact
is
,
poor
fellow
,
"
he
continued
,
as
he
seated
himself
and
looked
round
with
his
bright
glance
at
the
three
who
were
listening
to
him
,
"
he
has
taken
me
into
his
confidence
.
"
Mary
’
s
heart
beat
rather
quickly
:
she
wondered
how
far
Fred
’
s
confidence
had
gone
.
"
We
haven
’
t
seen
the
lad
for
months
,
"
said
Caleb
.
"
I
couldn
’
t
think
what
was
become
of
him
.
"
"
He
has
been
away
on
a
visit
,
"
said
the
Vicar
,
"
because
home
was
a
little
too
hot
for
him
,
and
Lydgate
told
his
mother
that
the
poor
fellow
must
not
begin
to
study
yet
.
But
yesterday
he
came
and
poured
himself
out
to
me
.
I
am
very
glad
he
did
,
because
I
have
seen
him
grow
up
from
a
youngster
of
fourteen
,
and
I
am
so
much
at
home
in
the
house
that
the
children
are
like
nephews
and
nieces
to
me
.
But
it
is
a
difficult
case
to
advise
upon
.
However
,
he
has
asked
me
to
come
and
tell
you
that
he
is
going
away
,
and
that
he
is
so
miserable
about
his
debt
to
you
,
and
his
inability
to
pay
,
that
he
can
’
t
bear
to
come
himself
even
to
bid
you
good
by
.
"
"
Tell
him
it
doesn
’
t
signify
a
farthing
,
"
said
Caleb
,
waving
his
hand
.
"
We
’
ve
had
the
pinch
and
have
got
over
it
.
And
now
I
’
m
going
to
be
as
rich
as
a
Jew
.
"
