I
should
never
be
quite
happy
if
I
thought
he
was
unhappy
for
the
loss
of
me
.
It
has
taken
such
deep
root
in
me
—
my
gratitude
to
him
for
always
loving
me
best
,
and
minding
so
much
if
I
hurt
myself
,
from
the
time
when
we
were
very
little
.
I
cannot
imagine
any
new
feeling
coming
to
make
that
weaker
.
I
should
like
better
than
anything
to
see
him
worthy
of
every
one
’
s
respect
.
But
please
tell
him
I
will
not
promise
to
marry
him
till
then
:
I
should
shame
and
grieve
my
father
and
mother
.
He
is
free
to
choose
some
one
else
.
"
"
Then
I
have
fulfilled
my
commission
thoroughly
,
"
said
Mr
.
Farebrother
,
putting
out
his
hand
to
Mary
,
"
and
I
shall
ride
back
to
Middlemarch
forthwith
.
With
this
prospect
before
him
,
we
shall
get
Fred
into
the
right
niche
somehow
,
and
I
hope
I
shall
live
to
join
your
hands
.
God
bless
you
!
"
"
Oh
,
please
stay
,
and
let
me
give
you
some
tea
,
"
said
Mary
.
Her
eyes
filled
with
tears
,
for
something
indefinable
,
something
like
the
resolute
suppression
of
a
pain
in
Mr
.
Farebrother
’
s
manner
,
made
her
feel
suddenly
miserable
,
as
she
had
once
felt
when
she
saw
her
father
’
s
hands
trembling
in
a
moment
of
trouble
.
"
No
,
my
dear
,
no
.
I
must
get
back
.
"
In
three
minutes
the
Vicar
was
on
horseback
again
,
having
gone
magnanimously
through
a
duty
much
harder
than
the
renunciation
of
whist
,
or
even
than
the
writing
of
penitential
meditations
.
It
is
but
a
shallow
haste
which
concludeth
insincerity
from
what
outsiders
call
inconsistency
—
putting
a
dead
mechanism
of
"
ifs
"
and
"
therefores
"
for
the
living
myriad
of
hidden
suckers
whereby
the
belief
and
the
conduct
are
wrought
into
mutual
sustainment
.
Mr
.
Bulstrode
,
when
he
was
hoping
to
acquire
a
new
interest
in
Lowick
,
had
naturally
had
an
especial
wish
that
the
new
clergyman
should
be
one
whom
he
thoroughly
approved
;
and
he
believed
it
to
be
a
chastisement
and
admonition
directed
to
his
own
shortcomings
and
those
of
the
nation
at
large
,
that
just
about
the
time
when
he
came
in
possession
of
the
deeds
which
made
him
the
proprietor
of
Stone
Court
,
Mr
.
Farebrother
"
read
himself
"
into
the
quaint
little
church
and
preached
his
first
sermon
to
the
congregation
of
farmers
,
laborers
,
and
village
artisans
.
It
was
not
that
Mr
.
Bulstrode
intended
to
frequent
Lowick
Church
or
to
reside
at
Stone
Court
for
a
good
while
to
come
:
he
had
bought
the
excellent
farm
and
fine
homestead
simply
as
a
retreat
which
he
might
gradually
enlarge
as
to
the
land
and
beautify
as
to
the
dwelling
,
until
it
should
be
conducive
to
the
divine
glory
that
he
should
enter
on
it
as
a
residence
,
partially
withdrawing
from
his
present
exertions
in
the
administration
of
business
,
and
throwing
more
conspicuously
on
the
side
of
Gospel
truth
the
weight
of
local
landed
proprietorship
,
which
Providence
might
increase
by
unforeseen
occasions
of
purchase
.
A
strong
leading
in
this
direction
seemed
to
have
been
given
in
the
surprising
facility
of
getting
Stone
Court
,
when
every
one
had
expected
that
Mr
.
Rigg
Featherstone
would
have
clung
to
it
as
the
Garden
of
Eden
.
That
was
what
poor
old
Peter
himself
had
expected
;
having
often
,
in
imagination
,
looked
up
through
the
sods
above
him
,
and
,
unobstructed
by
.
perspective
,
seen
his
frog
-
faced
legatee
enjoying
the
fine
old
place
to
the
perpetual
surprise
and
disappointment
of
other
survivors
.
But
how
little
we
know
what
would
make
paradise
for
our
neighbors
!
We
judge
from
our
own
desires
,
and
our
neighbors
themselves
are
not
always
open
enough
even
to
throw
out
a
hint
of
theirs
.
The
cool
and
judicious
Joshua
Rigg
had
not
allowed
his
parent
to
perceive
that
Stone
Court
was
anything
less
than
the
chief
good
in
his
estimation
,
and
he
had
certainly
wished
to
call
it
his
own
.
But
as
Warren
Hastings
looked
at
gold
and
thought
of
buying
Daylesford
,
so
Joshua
Rigg
looked
at
Stone
Court
and
thought
of
buying
gold
.
He
had
a
very
distinct
and
intense
vision
of
his
chief
good
,
the
vigorous
greed
which
he
had
inherited
having
taken
a
special
form
by
dint
of
circumstance
:
and
his
chief
good
was
to
be
a
moneychanger
.
From
his
earliest
employment
as
an
errand
-
boy
in
a
seaport
,
he
had
looked
through
the
windows
of
the
moneychangers
as
other
boys
look
through
the
windows
of
the
pastry
-
cooks
;
the
fascination
had
wrought
itself
gradually
into
a
deep
special
passion
;
he
meant
,
when
he
had
property
,
to
do
many
things
,
one
of
them
being
to
marry
a
genteel
young
person
;
but
these
were
all
accidents
and
joys
that
imagination
could
dispense
with
.
The
one
joy
after
which
his
soul
thirsted
was
to
have
a
money
-
changer
’
s
shop
on
a
much
-
frequented
quay
,
to
have
locks
all
round
him
of
which
he
held
the
keys
,
and
to
look
sublimely
cool
as
he
handled
the
breeding
coins
of
all
nations
,
while
helpless
Cupidity
looked
at
him
enviously
from
the
other
side
of
an
iron
lattice
.
The
strength
of
that
passion
had
been
a
power
enabling
him
to
master
all
the
knowledge
necessary
to
gratify
it
.
And
when
others
were
thinking
that
he
had
settled
at
Stone
Court
for
life
,
Joshua
himself
was
thinking
that
the
moment
now
was
not
far
off
when
he
should
settle
on
the
North
Quay
with
the
best
appointments
in
safes
and
locks
.
