Opinions
may
be
divided
as
to
his
wisdom
in
making
this
present
:
some
may
think
that
it
was
a
graceful
attention
to
be
expected
from
a
man
like
Lydgate
,
and
that
the
fault
of
any
troublesome
consequences
lay
in
the
pinched
narrowness
of
provincial
life
at
that
time
,
which
offered
no
conveniences
for
professional
people
whose
fortune
was
not
proportioned
to
their
tastes
;
also
,
in
Lydgate
’
s
ridiculous
fastidiousness
about
asking
his
friends
for
money
.
However
,
it
had
seemed
a
question
of
no
moment
to
him
on
that
fine
morning
when
he
went
to
give
a
final
order
for
plate
:
in
the
presence
of
other
jewels
enormously
expensive
,
and
as
an
addition
to
orders
of
which
the
amount
had
not
been
exactly
calculated
,
thirty
pounds
for
ornaments
so
exquisitely
suited
to
Rosamond
’
s
neck
and
arms
could
hardly
appear
excessive
when
there
was
no
ready
cash
for
it
to
exceed
.
But
at
this
crisis
Lydgate
’
s
imagination
could
not
help
dwelling
on
the
possibility
of
letting
the
amethysts
take
their
place
again
among
Mr
.
Dover
’
s
stock
,
though
he
shrank
from
the
idea
of
proposing
this
to
Rosamond
.
Having
been
roused
to
discern
consequences
which
he
had
never
been
in
the
habit
of
tracing
,
he
was
preparing
to
act
on
this
discernment
with
some
of
the
rigor
(
by
no
means
all
)
that
he
would
have
applied
in
pursuing
experiment
.
He
was
nerving
himself
to
this
rigor
as
he
rode
from
Brassing
,
and
meditated
on
the
representations
he
must
make
to
Rosamond
.
It
was
evening
when
he
got
home
.
He
was
intensely
miserable
,
this
strong
man
of
nine
-
and
-
twenty
and
of
many
gifts
.
He
was
not
saying
angrily
within
himself
that
he
had
made
a
profound
mistake
;
but
the
mistake
was
at
work
in
him
like
a
recognized
chronic
disease
,
mingling
its
uneasy
importunities
with
every
prospect
,
and
enfeebling
every
thought
.
As
he
went
along
the
passage
to
the
drawing
-
room
,
he
heard
the
piano
and
singing
.
Of
course
,
Ladislaw
was
there
.
It
was
some
weeks
since
Will
had
parted
from
Dorothea
,
yet
he
was
still
at
the
old
post
in
Middlemarch
.
Lydgate
had
no
objection
in
general
to
Ladislaw
’
s
coming
,
but
just
now
he
was
annoyed
that
he
could
not
find
his
hearth
free
.
When
he
opened
the
door
the
two
singers
went
on
towards
the
key
-
note
,
raising
their
eyes
and
looking
at
him
indeed
,
but
not
regarding
his
entrance
as
an
interruption
.
To
a
man
galled
with
his
harness
as
poor
Lydgate
was
,
it
is
not
soothing
to
see
two
people
warbling
at
him
,
as
he
comes
in
with
the
sense
that
the
painful
day
has
still
pains
in
store
.
His
face
,
already
paler
than
usual
,
took
on
a
scowl
as
he
walked
across
the
room
and
flung
himself
into
a
chair
.
The
singers
feeling
themselves
excused
by
the
fact
that
they
had
only
three
bars
to
sing
,
now
turned
round
.
"
How
are
you
,
Lydgate
?
"
said
Will
,
coming
forward
to
shake
hands
.
Lydgate
took
his
hand
,
but
did
not
think
it
necessary
to
speak
.
"
Have
you
dined
,
Tertius
?
I
expected
you
much
earlier
,
"
said
Rosamond
,
who
had
already
seen
that
her
husband
was
in
a
"
horrible
humor
.
"
She
seated
herself
in
her
usual
place
as
she
spoke
.
"
I
have
dined
.
I
should
like
some
tea
,
please
,
"
said
Lydgate
,
curtly
,
still
scowling
and
looking
markedly
at
his
legs
stretched
out
before
him
.
Will
was
too
quick
to
need
more
.
"
I
shall
be
off
,
"
he
said
,
reaching
his
hat
.
