Out they toddled from rugged -Avila, wide-eyed and helpless-looking as two fawns, but with human -hearts, already beating to a national idea; until domestic reality met -them in the shape of uncles, and turned them back from their great -resolve. That child-pilgrimage was a fit beginning. Theresas -passionate, ideal nature demanded an epic life: what were many-volumed -romances of chivalry and the social conquests of a brilliant girl to -her? Her flame quickly burned up that light fuel; and, fed from within, -soared after some illimitable satisfaction, some object which would -never justify weariness, which would reconcile self-despair with the -rapturous consciousness of life beyond self. She found her epos in the -reform of a religious order. - -That Spanish woman who lived three hundred years ago, was certainly not -the last of her kind. Many Theresas have been born who found for -themselves no epic life wherein there was a constant unfolding of -far-resonant action; perhaps only a life of mistakes, the offspring of -a certain spiritual grandeur ill-matched with the meanness of -opportunity; perhaps a tragic failure which found no sacred poet and -sank unwept into oblivion. With dim lights and tangled circumstance -they tried to shape their thought and deed in noble agreement; but -after all, to common eyes their struggles seemed mere inconsistency and -formlessness; for these later-born Theresas were helped by no coherent -social faith and order which could perform the function of knowledge -for the ardently willing soul. Their ardor alternated between a vague -ideal and the common yearning of womanhood; so that the one was -disapproved as extravagance, and the other condemned as a lapse. - -Some have felt that these blundering lives are due to the inconvenient -indefiniteness with which the Supreme Power has fashioned the natures -of women: if there were one level of feminine incompetence as strict as -the ability to count three and no more, the social lot of women might -be treated with scientific certitude. Meanwhile the indefiniteness -remains, and the limits of variation are really much wider than any one -would imagine from the sameness of womens coiffure and the favorite -love-stories in prose and verse. Here and there a cygnet is reared -uneasily among the ducklings in the brown pond, and never finds the -living stream in fellowship with its own oary-footed kind. Here and -there is born a Saint Theresa, foundress of nothing, whose loving -heart-beats and sobs after an unattained goodness tremble off and are -dispersed among hindrances, instead of centring in some -long-recognizable deed. - - - - -BOOK I. -MISS BROOKE. - - - - -CHAPTER I. - -Since I can do no good because a woman, -Reach constantly at something that is near it. - _The Maids Tragedy:_ BEAUMONT AND FLETCHER. - - -Miss Brooke had that kind of beauty which seems to be thrown into -relief by poor dress. Her hand and wrist were so finely formed that she -could wear sleeves not less bare of style than those in which the -Blessed Virgin appeared to Italian painters; and her profile as well as -her stature and bearing seemed to gain the more dignity from her plain -garments, which by the side of provincial fashion gave her the -impressiveness of a fine quotation from the Bible,or from one of our -elder poets,in a paragraph of to-days newspaper. She was usually -spoken of as being remarkably clever, but with the addition that her -sister Celia had more common-sense. Nevertheless, Celia wore scarcely -more trimmings; and it was only to close observers that her dress -differed from her sisters, and had a shade of coquetry in its -arrangements; for Miss Brookes plain dressing was due to mixed -conditions, in most of which her sister shared. The pride of being -ladies had something to do with it: the Brooke connections, though not -exactly aristocratic, were unquestionably good: if you inquired -backward for a generation or two, you would not find any yard-measuring -or parcel-tying forefathersanything lower than an admiral or a -clergyman; and there was even an ancestor discernible as a Puritan -gentleman who served under Cromwell, but afterwards conformed, and -managed to come out of all political troubles as the proprietor of a -respectable family estate. Young women of such birth, living in a quiet -country-house, and attending a village church hardly larger than a -parlor, naturally regarded frippery as the ambition of a hucksters -daughter. Then there was well-bred economy, which in those days made -show in dress the first item to be deducted from, when any margin was -required for expenses more distinctive of rank. Such reasons would have -been enough to account for plain dress, quite apart from religious -feeling; but in Miss Brookes case, religion alone would have -determined it; and Celia mildly acquiesced in all her sisters -sentiments, only infusing them with that common-sense which is able to -accept momentous doctrines without any eccentric agitation. Dorothea -knew many passages of Pascals Pensees and of Jeremy Taylor by heart; -and to her the destinies of mankind, seen by the light of Christianity, -made the solicitudes of feminine fashion appear an occupation for -Bedlam. She could not reconcile the anxieties of a spiritual life -involving eternal consequences, with a keen interest in gimp and -artificial protrusions of drapery. Her mind was theoretic, and yearned -by its nature after some lofty conception of the world which might -frankly include the parish of Tipton and her own rule of conduct there; -she was enamoured of intensity and greatness, and rash in embracing -whatever seemed to her to have those aspects; likely to seek martyrdom, -to make retractations, and then to incur martyrdom after all in a -quarter where she had not sought it. Certainly such elements in the -character of a marriageable girl tended to interfere with her lot, and -hinder it from being decided according to custom, by good looks, -vanity, and merely canine affection. With all this, she, the elder of -the sisters, was not yet twenty, and they had both been educated, since -they were about twelve years old and had lost their parents, on plans -at once narrow and promiscuous, first in an English family and -afterwards in a Swiss family at Lausanne, their bachelor uncle and -guardian trying in this way to remedy the disadvantages of their -orphaned condition. - -It was hardly a year since they had come to live at Tipton Grange with -their uncle, a man nearly sixty, of acquiescent temper, miscellaneous -opinions, and uncertain vote. He had travelled in his younger years, -and was held in this part of the county to have contracted a too -rambling habit of mind. Mr. Brookes conclusions were as difficult to -predict as the weather: it was only safe to say that he would act with -benevolent intentions, and that he would spend as little money as -possible in carrying them out. For the most glutinously indefinite -minds enclose some hard grains of habit; and a man has been seen lax -about all his own interests except the retention of his snuff-box, -concerning which he was watchful, suspicious, and greedy of clutch. - -In Mr. Brooke the hereditary strain of Puritan energy was clearly in -abeyance; but in his niece Dorothea it glowed alike through faults and -virtues, turning sometimes into impatience of her uncles talk or his -way of letting things be on his estate, and making her long all the -more for the time when she would be of age and have some command of -money for generous schemes. She was regarded as an heiress; for not -only had the sisters seven hundred a-year each from their parents, but -if Dorothea married and had a son, that son would inherit Mr. Brookes -estate, presumably worth about three thousand a-yeara rental which -seemed wealth to provincial families, still discussing Mr. Peels late -conduct on the Catholic question, innocent of future gold-fields, and -of that gorgeous plutocracy which has so nobly exalted the necessities -of genteel life. - -And how should Dorothea not marry?a girl so handsome and with such -prospects? Nothing could hinder it but her love of extremes, and her -insistence on regulating life according to notions which might cause a -wary man to hesitate before he made her an offer, or even might lead -her at last to refuse all offers. A young lady of some birth and -fortune, who knelt suddenly down on a brick floor by the side of a sick -laborer and prayed fervidly as if she thought herself living in the -time of the Apostleswho had strange whims of fasting like a Papist, -and of sitting up at night to read old theological books! Such a wife -might awaken you some fine morning with a new scheme for the -application of her income which would interfere with political economy -and the keeping of saddle-horses: a man would naturally think twice -before he risked himself in such fellowship. Women were expected to -have weak opinions; but the great safeguard of society and of domestic -life was, that opinions were not acted on. Sane people did what their -neighbors did, so that if any lunatics were at large, one might know -and avoid them. - -The rural opinion about the new young ladies, even among the cottagers, -was generally in favor of Celia, as being so amiable and -innocent-looking, while Miss Brookes large eyes seemed, like her -religion, too unusual and striking. Poor Dorothea! compared with her, -the innocent-looking Celia was knowing and worldly-wise; so much -subtler is a human mind than the outside tissues which make a sort of -blazonry or clock-face for it. - -Yet those who approached Dorothea, though prejudiced against her by -this alarming hearsay, found that she had a charm unaccountably -reconcilable with it. Most men thought her bewitching when she was on -horseback. She loved the fresh air and the various aspects of the -country, and when her eyes and cheeks glowed with mingled pleasure she -looked very little like a devotee. Riding was an indulgence which she -allowed herself in spite of conscientious qualms; she felt that she -enjoyed it in a pagan sensuous way, and always looked forward to -renouncing it. - -She was open, ardent, and not in the least self-admiring; indeed, it -was pretty to see how her imagination adorned her sister Celia with -attractions altogether superior to her own, and if any gentleman -appeared to come to the Grange from some other motive than that of -seeing Mr. Brooke, she concluded that he must be in love with Celia: -Sir James Chettam, for example, whom she constantly considered from -Celias point of view, inwardly debating whether it would be good for -Celia to accept him. That he should be regarded as a suitor to herself -would have seemed to her a ridiculous irrelevance. Dorothea, with all -her eagerness to know the truths of life, retained very childlike ideas -about marriage. She felt sure that she would have accepted the -judicious Hooker, if she had been born in time to save him from that -wretched mistake he made in matrimony; or John Milton when his -blindness had come on; or any of the other great men whose odd habits -it would have been glorious piety to endure; but an amiable handsome -baronet, who said Exactly to her remarks even when she expressed -uncertainty,how could he affect her as a lover? The really delightful -marriage must be that where your husband was a sort of father, and -could teach you even Hebrew, if you wished it. - -These peculiarities of Dorotheas character caused Mr. Brooke to be all -the more blamed in neighboring families for not securing some -middle-aged lady as guide and companion to his nieces. But he himself -dreaded so much the sort of superior woman likely to be available for -such a position, that he allowed himself to be dissuaded by Dorotheas -objections, and was in this case brave enough to defy the worldthat is -to say, Mrs. Cadwallader the Rectors wife, and the small group of -gentry with whom he visited in the northeast corner of Loamshire. So -Miss Brooke presided in her uncles household, and did not at all -dislike her new authority, with the homage that belonged to it. - -Sir James Chettam was going to dine at the Grange to-day with another -gentleman whom the girls had never seen, and about whom Dorothea felt -some venerating expectation. This was the Reverend Edward Casaubon, -noted in the county as a man of profound learning, understood for many -years to be engaged on a great work concerning religious history; also -as a man of wealth enough to give lustre to his piety, and having views -of his own which were to be more clearly ascertained on the publication -of his book. His very name carried an impressiveness hardly to be -measured without a precise chronology of scholarship. - -Early in the day Dorothea had returned from the infant school which she -had set going in the village, and was taking her usual place in the -pretty sitting-room which divided the bedrooms of the sisters, bent on -finishing a plan for some buildings (a kind of work which she delighted -in), when Celia, who had been watching her with a hesitating desire to -propose something, said - -Dorothea, dear, if you dont mindif you are not very busysuppose we -looked at mammas jewels to-day, and divided them? It is exactly six -months to-day since uncle gave them to you, and you have not looked at -them yet. - -Celias face had the shadow of a pouting expression in it, the full -presence of the pout being kept back by an habitual awe of Dorothea and -principle; two associated facts which might show a mysterious -electricity if you touched them incautiously. To her relief, Dorotheas -eyes were full of laughter as she looked up. - -What a wonderful little almanac you are, Celia! Is it six calendar or -six lunar months? - -It is the last day of September now, and it was the first of April -when uncle gave them to you. You know, he said that he had forgotten -them till then. I believe you have never thought of them since you -locked them up in the cabinet here. - -Well, dear, we should never wear them, you know. Dorothea spoke in a -full cordial tone, half caressing, half explanatory. She had her pencil -in her hand, and was making tiny side-plans on a margin. - -Celia colored, and looked very grave. I think, dear, we are wanting in -respect to mammas memory, to put them by and take no notice of them. -And, she added, after hesitating a little, with a rising sob of -mortification, necklaces are quite usual now; and Madame Poincon, who -was stricter in some things even than you are, used to wear ornaments. -And Christians generallysurely there are women in heaven now who wore -jewels. Celia was conscious of some mental strength when she really -applied herself to argument. - -You would like to wear them? exclaimed Dorothea, an air of astonished -discovery animating her whole person with a dramatic action which she -had caught from that very Madame Poincon who wore the ornaments. Of -course, then, let us have them out. Why did you not tell me before? But -the keys, the keys! She pressed her hands against the sides of her -head and seemed to despair of her memory. - -They are here, said Celia, with whom this explanation had been long -meditated and prearranged. - -Pray open the large drawer of the cabinet and get out the jewel-box. - -The casket was soon open before them, and the various jewels spread -out, making a bright parterre on the table. It was no great collection, -but a few of the ornaments were really of remarkable beauty, the finest -that was obvious at first being a necklace of purple amethysts set in -exquisite gold work, and a pearl cross with five brilliants in it. -Dorothea immediately took up the necklace and fastened it round her -sisters neck, where it fitted almost as closely as a bracelet; but the -circle suited the Henrietta-Maria style of Celias head and neck, and -she could see that it did, in the pier-glass opposite. - -There, Celia! you can wear that with your Indian muslin. But this -cross you must wear with your dark dresses. - -Celia was trying not to smile with pleasure. O Dodo, you must keep the -cross yourself. - -No, no, dear, no, said Dorothea, putting up her hand with careless -deprecation. - -Yes, indeed you must; it would suit youin your black dress, now, -said Celia, insistingly. You _might_ wear that. - -Not for the world, not for the world. A cross is the last thing I -would wear as a trinket. Dorothea shuddered slightly. - -Then you will think it wicked in me to wear it, said Celia, uneasily. - -No, dear, no, said Dorothea, stroking her sisters cheek. Souls have -complexions too: what will suit one will not suit another. - -But you might like to keep it for mammas sake. - -No, I have other things of mammasher sandal-wood box which I am so -fond ofplenty of things. In fact, they are all yours, dear. We need -discuss them no longer. Theretake away your property. - -Celia felt a little hurt. There was a strong assumption of superiority -in this Puritanic toleration, hardly less trying to the blond flesh of -an unenthusiastic sister than a Puritanic persecution. - -But how can I wear ornaments if you, who are the elder sister, will -never wear them? - -Nay, Celia, that is too much to ask, that I should wear trinkets to -keep you in countenance. If I were to put on such a necklace as that, I -should feel as if I had been pirouetting. The world would go round with -me, and I should not know how to walk. - -Celia had unclasped the necklace and drawn it off. It would be a -little tight for your neck; something to lie down and hang would suit -you better, she said, with some satisfaction. The complete unfitness -of the necklace from all points of view for Dorothea, made Celia -happier in taking it. She was opening some ring-boxes, which disclosed -a fine emerald with diamonds, and just then the sun passing beyond a -cloud sent a bright gleam over the table. - -How very beautiful these gems are! said Dorothea, under a new current -of feeling, as sudden as the gleam. It is strange how deeply colors -seem to penetrate one, like scent. I suppose that is the reason why -gems are used as spiritual emblems in the Revelation of St. John. They -look like fragments of heaven. I think that emerald is more beautiful -than any of them. - -And there is a bracelet to match it, said Celia. We did not notice -this at first. - -They are lovely, said Dorothea, slipping the ring and bracelet on her -finely turned finger and wrist, and holding them towards the window on -a level with her eyes. All the while her thought was trying to justify -her delight in the colors by merging them in her mystic religious joy. - -You _would_ like those, Dorothea, said Celia, rather falteringly, -beginning to think with wonder that her sister showed some weakness, -and also that emeralds would suit her own complexion even better than -purple amethysts. You must keep that ring and braceletif nothing -else. But see, these agates are very pretty and quiet. - -Yes! I will keep thesethis ring and bracelet, said Dorothea. Then, -letting her hand fall on the table, she said in another toneYet what -miserable men find such things, and work at them, and sell them! She -paused again, and Celia thought that her sister was going to renounce -the ornaments, as in consistency she ought to do. - -Yes, dear, I will keep these, said Dorothea, decidedly. But take all -the rest away, and the casket. - -She took up her pencil without removing the jewels, and still looking -at them. She thought of often having them by her, to feed her eye at -these little fountains of pure color. - -Shall you wear them in company? said Celia, who was watching her with -real curiosity as to what she would do. - -Dorothea glanced quickly at her sister. Across all her imaginative -adornment of those whom she loved, there darted now and then a keen -discernment, which was not without a scorching quality. If Miss Brooke -ever attained perfect meekness, it would not be for lack of inward -fire. - -Perhaps, she said, rather haughtily. I cannot tell to what level I -may sink. - -Celia blushed, and was unhappy: she saw that she had offended her -sister, and dared not say even anything pretty about the gift of the -ornaments which she put back into the box and carried away. Dorothea -too was unhappy, as she went on with her plan-drawing, questioning the -purity of her own feeling and speech in the scene which had ended with -that little explosion. - -Celias consciousness told her that she had not been at all in the -wrong: it was quite natural and justifiable that she should have asked -that question, and she repeated to herself that Dorothea was -inconsistent: either she should have taken her full share of the -jewels, or, after what she had said, she should have renounced them -altogether. - -I am sureat least, I trust, thought Celia, that the wearing of a -necklace will not interfere with my prayers. And I do not see that I -should be bound by Dorotheas opinions now we are going into society, -though of course she herself ought to be bound by them. But Dorothea is -not always consistent. - -Thus Celia, mutely bending over her tapestry, until she heard her -sister calling her. - -Here, Kitty, come and look at my plan; I shall think I am a great -architect, if I have not got incompatible stairs and fireplaces. - -As Celia bent over the paper, Dorothea put her cheek against her -sisters arm caressingly. Celia understood the action. Dorothea saw -that she had been in the wrong, and Celia pardoned her. Since they -could remember, there had been a mixture of criticism and awe in the -attitude of Celias mind towards her elder sister. The younger had -always worn a yoke; but is there any yoked creature without its private -opinions? - - - - -CHAPTER II. - -Dime; no ves aquel caballero que hacia nosotros viene sobre un -caballo rucio rodado que trae puesto en la cabeza un yelmo de oro? Lo -que veo y columbro, respondio Sancho, no es sino un hombre sobre un -as no pardo como el mio, que trae sobre la cabeza una cosa que -relumbra. Pues ese es el yelmo de Mambrino, dijo Don -Quijote.CERVANTES. - - -Seest thou not yon cavalier who cometh toward us on a dapple-gray -steed, and weareth a golden helmet? What I see, answered Sancho, is -nothing but a man on a gray ass like my own, who carries something -shiny on his head. Just so, answered Don Quixote: and that -resplendent object is the helmet of Mambrino. - - -Sir Humphry Davy? said Mr. Brooke, over the soup, in his easy smiling -way, taking up Sir James Chettams remark that he was studying Davys -Agricultural Chemistry. Well, now, Sir Humphry Davy; I dined with him -years ago at Cartwrights, and Wordsworth was there toothe poet -Wordsworth, you know. Now there was something singular. I was at -Cambridge when Wordsworth was there, and I never met himand I dined -with him twenty years afterwards at Cartwrights. Theres an oddity in -things, now. But Davy was there: he was a poet too. Or, as I may say, -Wordsworth was poet one, and Davy was poet two. That was true in every -sense, you know. - -Dorothea felt a little more uneasy than usual. In the beginning of -dinner, the party being small and the room still, these motes from the -mass of a magistrates mind fell too noticeably. She wondered how a man -like Mr. Casaubon would support such triviality. His manners, she -thought, were very dignified; the set of his iron-gray hair and his -deep eye-sockets made him resemble the portrait of Locke. He had the -spare form and the pale complexion which became a student; as different -as possible from the blooming Englishman of the red-whiskered type -represented by Sir James Chettam. - -I am reading the Agricultural Chemistry, said this excellent baronet, -because I am going to take one of the farms into my own hands, and see -if something cannot be done in setting a good pattern of farming among -my tenants. Do you approve of that, Miss Brooke? - -A great mistake, Chettam, interposed Mr. Brooke, going into -electrifying your land and that kind of thing, and making a parlor of -your cow-house. It wont do. I went into science a great deal myself at -one time; but I saw it would not do. It leads to everything; you can -let nothing alone. No, nosee that your tenants dont sell their straw, -and that kind of thing; and give them draining-tiles, you know. But -your fancy farming will not dothe most expensive sort of whistle you -can buy: you may as well keep a pack of hounds. - -Surely, said Dorothea, it is better to spend money in finding out -how men can make the most of the land which supports them all, than in -keeping dogs and horses only to gallop over it. It is not a sin to make -yourself poor in performing experiments for the good of all. - -She spoke with more energy than is expected of so young a lady, but Sir -James had appealed to her. He was accustomed to do so, and she had -often thought that she could urge him to many good actions when he was -her brother-in-law. - -Mr. Casaubon turned his eyes very markedly on Dorothea while she was -speaking, and seemed to observe her newly. - -Young ladies dont understand political economy, you know, said Mr. -Brooke, smiling towards Mr. Casaubon. I remember when we were all -reading Adam Smith. _There_ is a book, now. I took in all the new ideas -at one timehuman perfectibility, now. But some say, history moves in -circles; and that may be very well argued; I have argued it myself. The -fact is, human reason may carry you a little too farover the hedge, in -fact. It carried me a good way at one time; but I saw it would not do. -I pulled up; I pulled up in time. But not too hard. I have always been -in favor of a little theory: we must have Thought; else we shall be -landed back in the dark ages. But talking of books, there is Southeys -Peninsular War. I am reading that of a morning. You know Southey? - -No, said Mr. Casaubon, not keeping pace with Mr. Brookes impetuous -reason, and thinking of the book only. I have little leisure for such -literature just now. I have been using up my eyesight on old characters -lately; the fact is, I want a reader for my evenings; but I am -fastidious in voices, and I cannot endure listening to an imperfect -reader. It is a misfortune, in some senses: I feed too much on the -inward sources; I live too much with the dead. My mind is something -like the ghost of an ancient, wandering about the world and trying -mentally to construct it as it used to be, in spite of ruin and -confusing changes. But I find it necessary to use the utmost caution -about my eyesight. - -This was the first time that Mr. Casaubon had spoken at any length. He -delivered himself with precision, as if he had been called upon to make -a public statement; and the balanced sing-song neatness of his speech, -occasionally corresponded to by a movement of his head, was the more -conspicuous from its contrast with good Mr. Brookes scrappy -slovenliness. Dorothea said to herself that Mr. Casaubon was the most -interesting man she had ever seen, not excepting even Monsieur Liret, -the Vaudois clergyman who had given conferences on the history of the -Waldenses. To reconstruct a past world, doubtless with a view to the -highest purposes of truthwhat a work to be in any way present at, to -assist in, though only as a lamp-holder! This elevating thought lifted -her above her annoyance at being twitted with her ignorance of -political economy, that never-explained science which was thrust as an -extinguisher over all her lights. - -But you are fond of riding, Miss Brooke, Sir James presently took an -opportunity of saying. I should have thought you would enter a little -into the pleasures of hunting. I wish you would let me send over a -chestnut horse for you to try. It has been trained for a lady. I saw -you on Saturday cantering over the hill on a nag not worthy of you. My -groom shall bring Corydon for you every day, if you will only mention -the time. - -Thank you, you are very good. I mean to give up riding. I shall not -ride any more, said Dorothea, urged to this brusque resolution by a -little annoyance that Sir James would be soliciting her attention when -she wanted to give it all to Mr. Casaubon. - -No, that is too hard, said Sir James, in a tone of reproach that -showed strong interest. Your sister is given to self-mortification, is -she not? he continued, turning to Celia, who sat at his right hand. - -I think she is, said Celia, feeling afraid lest she should say -something that would not please her sister, and blushing as prettily as -possible above her necklace. She likes giving up. - -If that were true, Celia, my giving-up would be self-indulgence, not -self-mortification. But there may be good reasons for choosing not to -do what is very agreeable, said Dorothea. - -Mr. Brooke was speaking at the same time, but it was evident that Mr. -Casaubon was observing Dorothea, and she was aware of it. - -Exactly, said Sir James. You give up from some high, generous -motive. - -No, indeed, not exactly. I did not say that of myself, answered -Dorothea, reddening. Unlike Celia, she rarely blushed, and only from -high delight or anger. At this moment she felt angry with the perverse -Sir James. Why did he not pay attention to Celia, and leave her to -listen to Mr. Casaubon?if that learned man would only talk, instead of -allowing himself to be talked to by Mr. Brooke, who was just then -informing him that the Reformation either meant something or it did -not, that he himself was a Protestant to the core, but that Catholicism -was a fact; and as to refusing an acre of your ground for a Romanist -chapel, all men needed the bridle of religion, which, properly -speaking, was the dread of a Hereafter. - -I made a great study of theology at one time, said Mr. Brooke, as if -to explain the insight just manifested. I know something of all -schools. I knew Wilberforce in his best days. Do you know Wilberforce? - -Mr. Casaubon said, No. - -Well, Wilberforce was perhaps not enough of a thinker; but if I went -into Parliament, as I have been asked to do, I should sit on the -independent bench, as Wilberforce did, and work at philanthropy. - -Mr. Casaubon bowed, and observed that it was a wide field. - -Yes, said Mr. Brooke, with an easy smile, but I have documents. I -began a long while ago to collect documents. They want arranging, but -when a question has struck me, I have written to somebody and got an -answer. I have documents at my back. But now, how do you arrange your -documents? - -In pigeon-holes partly, said Mr. Casaubon, with rather a startled air -of effort. - -Ah, pigeon-holes will not do. I have tried pigeon-holes, but -everything gets mixed in pigeon-holes: I never know whether a paper is -in A or Z. - -I wish you would let me sort your papers for you, uncle, said -Dorothea. I would letter them all, and then make a list of subjects -under each letter. - -Mr. Casaubon gravely smiled approval, and said to Mr. Brooke, You have -an excellent secretary at hand, you perceive. - -No, no, said Mr. Brooke, shaking his head; I cannot let young ladies -meddle with my documents. Young ladies are too flighty. - -Dorothea felt hurt. Mr. Casaubon would think that her uncle had some -special reason for delivering this opinion, whereas the remark lay in -his mind as lightly as the broken wing of an insect among all the other -fragments there, and a chance current had sent it alighting on _her_. - -When the two girls were in the drawing-room alone, Celia said - -How very ugly Mr. Casaubon is! - -Celia! He is one of the most distinguished-looking men I ever saw. He -is remarkably like the portrait of Locke. He has the same deep -eye-sockets. - -Had Locke those two white moles with hairs on them? - -Oh, I dare say! when people of a certain sort looked at him, said -Dorothea, walking away a little. - -Mr. Casaubon is so sallow. - -All the better. I suppose you admire a man with the complexion of a -_cochon de lait_. - -Dodo! exclaimed Celia, looking after her in surprise. I never heard -you make such a comparison before. - -Why should I make it before the occasion came? It is a good -comparison: the match is perfect. - -Miss Brooke was clearly forgetting herself, and Celia thought so. - -I wonder you show temper, Dorothea. - -It is so painful in you, Celia, that you will look at human beings as -if they were merely animals with a toilet, and never see the great soul -in a mans face. - -Has Mr. Casaubon a great soul? Celia was not without a touch of naive -malice. - -Yes, I believe he has, said Dorothea, with the full voice of -decision. Everything I see in him corresponds to his pamphlet on -Biblical Cosmology. - -He talks very little, said Celia - -There is no one for him to talk to. - -Celia thought privately, Dorothea quite despises Sir James Chettam; I -believe she would not accept him. Celia felt that this was a pity. She -had never been deceived as to the object of the baronets interest. -Sometimes, indeed, she had reflected that Dodo would perhaps not make a -husband happy who had not her way of looking at things; and stifled in -the depths of her heart was the feeling that her sister was too -religious for family comfort. Notions and scruples were like spilt -needles, making one afraid of treading, or sitting down, or even -eating. +*** START OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK MOBY DICK; OR, THE WHALE *** -When Miss Brooke was at the tea-table, Sir James came to sit down by -her, not having felt her mode of answering him at all offensive. Why -should he? He thought it probable that Miss Brooke liked him, and -manners must be very marked indeed before they cease to be interpreted -by preconceptions either confident or distrustful. She was thoroughly -charming to him, but of course he theorized a little about his -attachment. He was made of excellent human dough, and had the rare -merit of knowing that his talents, even if let loose, would not set the -smallest stream in the county on fire: hence he liked the prospect of a -wife to whom he could say, What shall we do? about this or that; who -could help her husband out with reasons, and would also have the -property qualification for doing so. As to the excessive religiousness -alleged against Miss Brooke, he had a very indefinite notion of what it -consisted in, and thought that it would die out with marriage. In -short, he felt himself to be in love in the right place, and was ready -to endure a great deal of predominance, which, after all, a man could -always put down when he liked. Sir James had no idea that he should -ever like to put down the predominance of this handsome girl, in whose -cleverness he delighted. Why not? A mans mindwhat there is of ithas -always the advantage of being masculine,as the smallest birch-tree is -of a higher kind than the most soaring palm,and even his ignorance is -of a sounder quality. Sir James might not have originated this -estimate; but a kind Providence furnishes the limpest personality with -a little gum or starch in the form of tradition. - -Let me hope that you will rescind that resolution about the horse, -Miss Brooke, said the persevering admirer. I assure you, riding is -the most healthy of exercises. - -I am aware of it, said Dorothea, coldly. I think it would do Celia -goodif she would take to it. - -But you are such a perfect horsewoman. - -Excuse me; I have had very little practice, and I should be easily -thrown. - -Then that is a reason for more practice. Every lady ought to be a -perfect horsewoman, that she may accompany her husband. - -You see how widely we differ, Sir James. I have made up my mind that I -ought not to be a perfect horsewoman, and so I should never correspond -to your pattern of a lady. Dorothea looked straight before her, and -spoke with cold brusquerie, very much with the air of a handsome boy, -in amusing contrast with the solicitous amiability of her admirer. - -I should like to know your reasons for this cruel resolution. It is -not possible that you should think horsemanship wrong. - -It is quite possible that I should think it wrong for me. - -Oh, why? said Sir James, in a tender tone of remonstrance. - -Mr. Casaubon had come up to the table, teacup in hand, and was -listening. - -We must not inquire too curiously into motives, he interposed, in his -measured way. Miss Brooke knows that they are apt to become feeble in -the utterance: the aroma is mixed with the grosser air. We must keep -the germinating grain away from the light. - -Dorothea colored with pleasure, and looked up gratefully to the -speaker. Here was a man who could understand the higher inward life, -and with whom there could be some spiritual communion; nay, who could -illuminate principle with the widest knowledge: a man whose learning -almost amounted to a proof of whatever he believed! - -Dorotheas inferences may seem large; but really life could never have -gone on at any period but for this liberal allowance of conclusions, -which has facilitated marriage under the difficulties of civilization. -Has any one ever pinched into its pilulous smallness the cobweb of -pre-matrimonial acquaintanceship? - -Certainly, said good Sir James. Miss Brooke shall not be urged to -tell reasons she would rather be silent upon. I am sure her reasons -would do her honor. - -He was not in the least jealous of the interest with which Dorothea had -looked up at Mr. Casaubon: it never occurred to him that a girl to whom -he was meditating an offer of marriage could care for a dried bookworm -towards fifty, except, indeed, in a religious sort of way, as for a -clergyman of some distinction. - -However, since Miss Brooke had become engaged in a conversation with -Mr. Casaubon about the Vaudois clergy, Sir James betook himself to -Celia, and talked to her about her sister; spoke of a house in town, -and asked whether Miss Brooke disliked London. Away from her sister, -Celia talked quite easily, and Sir James said to himself that the -second Miss Brooke was certainly very agreeable as well as pretty, -though not, as some people pretended, more clever and sensible than the -elder sister. He felt that he had chosen the one who was in all -respects the superior; and a man naturally likes to look forward to -having the best. He would be the very Mawworm of bachelors who -pretended not to expect it. - - - - -CHAPTER III. - -Say, goddess, what ensued, when Raphael, -The affable archangel . . . - Eve -The story heard attentive, and was filled -With admiration, and deep muse, to hear -Of things so high and strange. -_Paradise Lost_, B. vii. - - -If it had really occurred to Mr. Casaubon to think of Miss Brooke as a -suitable wife for him, the reasons that might induce her to accept him -were already planted in her mind, and by the evening of the next day -the reasons had budded and bloomed. For they had had a long -conversation in the morning, while Celia, who did not like the company -of Mr. Casaubons moles and sallowness, had escaped to the vicarage to -play with the curates ill-shod but merry children. - -Dorothea by this time had looked deep into the ungauged reservoir of -Mr. Casaubons mind, seeing reflected there in vague labyrinthine -extension every quality she herself brought; had opened much of her own -experience to him, and had understood from him the scope of his great -work, also of attractively labyrinthine extent. For he had been as -instructive as Miltons affable archangel; and with something of the -archangelic manner he told her how he had undertaken to show (what -indeed had been attempted before, but not with that thoroughness, -justice of comparison, and effectiveness of arrangement at which Mr. -Casaubon aimed) that all the mythical systems or erratic mythical -fragments in the world were corruptions of a tradition originally -revealed. Having once mastered the true position and taken a firm -footing there, the vast field of mythical constructions became -intelligible, nay, luminous with the reflected light of -correspondences. But to gather in this great harvest of truth was no -light or speedy work. His notes already made a formidable range of -volumes, but the crowning task would be to condense these voluminous -still-accumulating results and bring them, like the earlier vintage of -Hippocratic books, to fit a little shelf. In explaining this to -Dorothea, Mr. Casaubon expressed himself nearly as he would have done -to a fellow-student, for he had not two styles of talking at command: -it is true that when he used a Greek or Latin phrase he always gave the -English with scrupulous care, but he would probably have done this in -any case. A learned provincial clergyman is accustomed to think of his -acquaintances as of lords, knyghtes, and other noble and worthi men, -that conne Latyn but lytille. - -Dorothea was altogether captivated by the wide embrace of this -conception. Here was something beyond the shallows of ladies school -literature: here was a living Bossuet, whose work would reconcile -complete knowledge with devoted piety; here was a modern Augustine who -united the glories of doctor and saint. - -The sanctity seemed no less clearly marked than the learning, for when -Dorothea was impelled to open her mind on certain themes which she -could speak of to no one whom she had before seen at Tipton, especially -on the secondary importance of ecclesiastical forms and articles of -belief compared with that spiritual religion, that submergence of self -in communion with Divine perfection which seemed to her to be expressed -in the best Christian books of widely distant ages, she found in Mr. -Casaubon a listener who understood her at once, who could assure her of -his own agreement with that view when duly tempered with wise -conformity, and could mention historical examples before unknown to -her. - -He thinks with me, said Dorothea to herself, or rather, he thinks a -whole world of which my thought is but a poor twopenny mirror. And his -feelings too, his whole experiencewhat a lake compared with my little -pool! - -Miss Brooke argued from words and dispositions not less unhesitatingly -than other young ladies of her age. Signs are small measurable things, -but interpretations are illimitable, and in girls of sweet, ardent -nature, every sign is apt to conjure up wonder, hope, belief, vast as a -sky, and colored by a diffused thimbleful of matter in the shape of -knowledge. They are not always too grossly deceived; for Sinbad himself -may have fallen by good-luck on a true description, and wrong reasoning -sometimes lands poor mortals in right conclusions: starting a long way -off the true point, and proceeding by loops and zigzags, we now and -then arrive just where we ought to be. Because Miss Brooke was hasty in -her trust, it is not therefore clear that Mr. Casaubon was unworthy of -it. - -He stayed a little longer than he had intended, on a slight pressure of -invitation from Mr. Brooke, who offered no bait except his own -documents on machine-breaking and rick-burning. Mr. Casaubon was called -into the library to look at these in a heap, while his host picked up -first one and then the other to read aloud from in a skipping and -uncertain way, passing from one unfinished passage to another with a -Yes, now, but here! and finally pushing them all aside to open the -journal of his youthful Continental travels. - -Look herehere is all about Greece. Rhamnus, the ruins of Rhamnusyou -are a great Grecian, now. I dont know whether you have given much -study to the topography. I spent no end of time in making out these -thingsHelicon, now. Here, now!We started the next morning for -Parnassus, the double-peaked Parnassus. All this volume is about -Greece, you know, Mr. Brooke wound up, rubbing his thumb transversely -along the edges of the leaves as he held the book forward. - -Mr. Casaubon made a dignified though somewhat sad audience; bowed in -the right place, and avoided looking at anything documentary as far as -possible, without showing disregard or impatience; mindful that this -desultoriness was associated with the institutions of the country, and -that the man who took him on this severe mental scamper was not only an -amiable host, but a landholder and custos rotulorum. Was his endurance -aided also by the reflection that Mr. Brooke was the uncle of Dorothea? - -Certainly he seemed more and more bent on making her talk to him, on -drawing her out, as Celia remarked to herself; and in looking at her -his face was often lit up by a smile like pale wintry sunshine. Before -he left the next morning, while taking a pleasant walk with Miss Brooke -along the gravelled terrace, he had mentioned to her that he felt the -disadvantage of loneliness, the need of that cheerful companionship -with which the presence of youth can lighten or vary the serious toils -of maturity. And he delivered this statement with as much careful -precision as if he had been a diplomatic envoy whose words would be -attended with results. Indeed, Mr. Casaubon was not used to expect that -he should have to repeat or revise his communications of a practical or -personal kind. The inclinations which he had deliberately stated on the -2d of October he would think it enough to refer to by the mention of -that date; judging by the standard of his own memory, which was a -volume where a vide supra could serve instead of repetitions, and not -the ordinary long-used blotting-book which only tells of forgotten -writing. But in this case Mr. Casaubons confidence was not likely to -be falsified, for Dorothea heard and retained what he said with the -eager interest of a fresh young nature to which every variety in -experience is an epoch. - -It was three oclock in the beautiful breezy autumn day when Mr. -Casaubon drove off to his Rectory at Lowick, only five miles from -Tipton; and Dorothea, who had on her bonnet and shawl, hurried along -the shrubbery and across the park that she might wander through the -bordering wood with no other visible companionship than that of Monk, -the Great St. Bernard dog, who always took care of the young ladies in -their walks. There had risen before her the girls vision of a possible -future for herself to which she looked forward with trembling hope, and -she wanted to wander on in that visionary future without interruption. -She walked briskly in the brisk air, the color rose in her cheeks, and -her straw bonnet (which our contemporaries might look at with -conjectural curiosity as at an obsolete form of basket) fell a little -backward. She would perhaps be hardly characterized enough if it were -omitted that she wore her brown hair flatly braided and coiled behind -so as to expose the outline of her head in a daring manner at a time -when public feeling required the meagreness of nature to be -dissimulated by tall barricades of frizzed curls and bows, never -surpassed by any great race except the Feejeean. This was a trait of -Miss Brookes asceticism. But there was nothing of an ascetics -expression in her bright full eyes, as she looked before her, not -consciously seeing, but absorbing into the intensity of her mood, the -solemn glory of the afternoon with its long swathes of light between -the far-off rows of limes, whose shadows touched each other. - -All people, young or old (that is, all people in those ante-reform -times), would have thought her an interesting object if they had -referred the glow in her eyes and cheeks to the newly awakened ordinary -images of young love: the illusions of Chloe about Strephon have been -sufficiently consecrated in poetry, as the pathetic loveliness of all -spontaneous trust ought to be. Miss Pippin adoring young Pumpkin, and -dreaming along endless vistas of unwearying companionship, was a little -drama which never tired our fathers and mothers, and had been put into -all costumes. Let but Pumpkin have a figure which would sustain the -disadvantages of the shortwaisted swallow-tail, and everybody felt it -not only natural but necessary to the perfection of womanhood, that a -sweet girl should be at once convinced of his virtue, his exceptional -ability, and above all, his perfect sincerity. But perhaps no persons -then livingcertainly none in the neighborhood of Tiptonwould have had -a sympathetic understanding for the dreams of a girl whose notions -about marriage took their color entirely from an exalted enthusiasm -about the ends of life, an enthusiasm which was lit chiefly by its own -fire, and included neither the niceties of the trousseau, the pattern -of plate, nor even the honors and sweet joys of the blooming matron. - -It had now entered Dorotheas mind that Mr. Casaubon might wish to make -her his wife, and the idea that he would do so touched her with a sort -of reverential gratitude. How good of himnay, it would be almost as if -a winged messenger had suddenly stood beside her path and held out his -hand towards her! For a long while she had been oppressed by the -indefiniteness which hung in her mind, like a thick summer haze, over -all her desire to make her life greatly effective. What could she do, -what ought she to do?she, hardly more than a budding woman, but yet -with an active conscience and a great mental need, not to be satisfied -by a girlish instruction comparable to the nibblings and judgments of a -discursive mouse. With some endowment of stupidity and conceit, she -might have thought that a Christian young lady of fortune should find -her ideal of life in village charities, patronage of the humbler -clergy, the perusal of Female Scripture Characters, unfolding the -private experience of Sara under the Old Dispensation, and Dorcas under -the New, and the care of her soul over her embroidery in her own -boudoirwith a background of prospective marriage to a man who, if less -strict than herself, as being involved in affairs religiously -inexplicable, might be prayed for and seasonably exhorted. From such -contentment poor Dorothea was shut out. The intensity of her religious -disposition, the coercion it exercised over her life, was but one -aspect of a nature altogether ardent, theoretic, and intellectually -consequent: and with such a nature struggling in the bands of a narrow -teaching, hemmed in by a social life which seemed nothing but a -labyrinth of petty courses, a walled-in maze of small paths that led no -whither, the outcome was sure to strike others as at once exaggeration -and inconsistency. The thing which seemed to her best, she wanted to -justify by the completest knowledge; and not to live in a pretended -admission of rules which were never acted on. Into this soul-hunger as -yet all her youthful passion was poured; the union which attracted her -was one that would deliver her from her girlish subjection to her own -ignorance, and give her the freedom of voluntary submission to a guide -who would take her along the grandest path. - -I should learn everything then, she said to herself, still walking -quickly along the bridle road through the wood. It would be my duty to -study that I might help him the better in his great works. There would -be nothing trivial about our lives. Every-day things with us would mean -the greatest things. It would be like marrying Pascal. I should learn -to see the truth by the same light as great men have seen it by. And -then I should know what to do, when I got older: I should see how it -was possible to lead a grand life herenowin England. I dont feel -sure about doing good in any way now: everything seems like going on a -mission to a people whose language I dont know;unless it were -building good cottagesthere can be no doubt about that. Oh, I hope I -should be able to get the people well housed in Lowick! I will draw -plenty of plans while I have time. - -Dorothea checked herself suddenly with self-rebuke for the presumptuous -way in which she was reckoning on uncertain events, but she was spared -any inward effort to change the direction of her thoughts by the -appearance of a cantering horseman round a turning of the road. The -well-groomed chestnut horse and two beautiful setters could leave no -doubt that the rider was Sir James Chettam. He discerned Dorothea, -jumped off his horse at once, and, having delivered it to his groom, -advanced towards her with something white on his arm, at which the two -setters were barking in an excited manner. - -How delightful to meet you, Miss Brooke, he said, raising his hat and -showing his sleekly waving blond hair. It has hastened the pleasure I -was looking forward to. - -Miss Brooke was annoyed at the interruption. This amiable baronet, -really a suitable husband for Celia, exaggerated the necessity of -making himself agreeable to the elder sister. Even a prospective -brother-in-law may be an oppression if he will always be presupposing -too good an understanding with you, and agreeing with you even when you -contradict him. The thought that he had made the mistake of paying his -addresses to herself could not take shape: all her mental activity was -used up in persuasions of another kind. But he was positively obtrusive -at this moment, and his dimpled hands were quite disagreeable. Her -roused temper made her color deeply, as she returned his greeting with -some haughtiness. - -Sir James interpreted the heightened color in the way most gratifying -to himself, and thought he never saw Miss Brooke looking so handsome. - -I have brought a little petitioner, he said, or rather, I have -brought him to see if he will be approved before his petition is -offered. He showed the white object under his arm, which was a tiny -Maltese puppy, one of natures most naive toys. - -It is painful to me to see these creatures that are bred merely as -pets, said Dorothea, whose opinion was forming itself that very moment -(as opinions will) under the heat of irritation. - -Oh, why? said Sir James, as they walked forward. - -I believe all the petting that is given them does not make them happy. -They are too helpless: their lives are too frail. A weasel or a mouse -that gets its own living is more interesting. I like to think that the -animals about us have souls something like our own, and either carry on -their own little affairs or can be companions to us, like Monk here. -Those creatures are parasitic. - -I am so glad I know that you do not like them, said good Sir James. -I should never keep them for myself, but ladies usually are fond of -these Maltese dogs. Here, John, take this dog, will you? - -The objectionable puppy, whose nose and eyes were equally black and -expressive, was thus got rid of, since Miss Brooke decided that it had -better not have been born. But she felt it necessary to explain. - -You must not judge of Celias feeling from mine. I think she likes -these small pets. She had a tiny terrier once, which she was very fond -of. It made me unhappy, because I was afraid of treading on it. I am -rather short-sighted. - -You have your own opinion about everything, Miss Brooke, and it is -always a good opinion. - -What answer was possible to such stupid complimenting? - -Do you know, I envy you that, Sir James said, as they continued -walking at the rather brisk pace set by Dorothea. - -I dont quite understand what you mean. - -Your power of forming an opinion. I can form an opinion of persons. I -know when I like people. But about other matters, do you know, I have -often a difficulty in deciding. One hears very sensible things said on -opposite sides. - -Or that seem sensible. Perhaps we dont always discriminate between -sense and nonsense. - -Dorothea felt that she was rather rude. - -Exactly, said Sir James. But you seem to have the power of -discrimination. - -On the contrary, I am often unable to decide. But that is from -ignorance. The right conclusion is there all the same, though I am -unable to see it. - -I think there are few who would see it more readily. Do you know, -Lovegood was telling me yesterday that you had the best notion in the -world of a plan for cottagesquite wonderful for a young lady, he -thought. You had a real _genus_, to use his expression. He said you -wanted Mr. Brooke to build a new set of cottages, but he seemed to -think it hardly probable that your uncle would consent. Do you know, -that is one of the things I wish to doI mean, on my own estate. I -should be so glad to carry out that plan of yours, if you would let me -see it. Of course, it is sinking money; that is why people object to -it. Laborers can never pay rent to make it answer. But, after all, it -is worth doing. - -Worth doing! yes, indeed, said Dorothea, energetically, forgetting -her previous small vexations. I think we deserve to be beaten out of -our beautiful houses with a scourge of small cordsall of us who let -tenants live in such sties as we see round us. Life in cottages might -be happier than ours, if they were real houses fit for human beings -from whom we expect duties and affections. - -Will you show me your plan? - -Yes, certainly. I dare say it is very faulty. But I have been -examining all the plans for cottages in Loudons book, and picked out -what seem the best things. Oh what a happiness it would be to set the -pattern about here! I think instead of Lazarus at the gate, we should -put the pigsty cottages outside the park-gate. - -Dorothea was in the best temper now. Sir James, as brother in-law, -building model cottages on his estate, and then, perhaps, others being -built at Lowick, and more and more elsewhere in imitationit would be -as if the spirit of Oberlin had passed over the parishes to make the -life of poverty beautiful! - -Sir James saw all the plans, and took one away to consult upon with -Lovegood. He also took away a complacent sense that he was making great -progress in Miss Brookes good opinion. The Maltese puppy was not -offered to Celia; an omission which Dorothea afterwards thought of with -surprise; but she blamed herself for it. She had been engrossing Sir -James. After all, it was a relief that there was no puppy to tread -upon. - -Celia was present while the plans were being examined, and observed Sir -Jamess illusion. He thinks that Dodo cares about him, and she only -cares about her plans. Yet I am not certain that she would refuse him -if she thought he would let her manage everything and carry out all her -notions. And how very uncomfortable Sir James would be! I cannot bear -notions. - -It was Celias private luxury to indulge in this dislike. She dared not -confess it to her sister in any direct statement, for that would be -laying herself open to a demonstration that she was somehow or other at -war with all goodness. But on safe opportunities, she had an indirect -mode of making her negative wisdom tell upon Dorothea, and calling her -down from her rhapsodic mood by reminding her that people were staring, -not listening. Celia was not impulsive: what she had to say could wait, -and came from her always with the same quiet staccato evenness. When -people talked with energy and emphasis she watched their faces and -features merely. She never could understand how well-bred persons -consented to sing and open their mouths in the ridiculous manner -requisite for that vocal exercise. - -It was not many days before Mr. Casaubon paid a morning visit, on which -he was invited again for the following week to dine and stay the night. -Thus Dorothea had three more conversations with him, and was convinced -that her first impressions had been just. He was all she had at first -imagined him to be: almost everything he had said seemed like a -specimen from a mine, or the inscription on the door of a museum which -might open on the treasures of past ages; and this trust in his mental -wealth was all the deeper and more effective on her inclination because -it was now obvious that his visits were made for her sake. This -accomplished man condescended to think of a young girl, and take the -pains to talk to her, not with absurd compliment, but with an appeal to -her understanding, and sometimes with instructive correction. What -delightful companionship! Mr. Casaubon seemed even unconscious that -trivialities existed, and never handed round that small-talk of heavy -men which is as acceptable as stale bride-cake brought forth with an -odor of cupboard. He talked of what he was interested in, or else he -was silent and bowed with sad civility. To Dorothea this was adorable -genuineness, and religious abstinence from that artificiality which -uses up the soul in the efforts of pretence. For she looked as -reverently at Mr. Casaubons religious elevation above herself as she -did at his intellect and learning. He assented to her expressions of -devout feeling, and usually with an appropriate quotation; he allowed -himself to say that he had gone through some spiritual conflicts in his -youth; in short, Dorothea saw that here she might reckon on -understanding, sympathy, and guidance. On oneonly oneof her favorite -themes she was disappointed. Mr. Casaubon apparently did not care about -building cottages, and diverted the talk to the extremely narrow -accommodation which was to be had in the dwellings of the ancient -Egyptians, as if to check a too high standard. After he was gone, -Dorothea dwelt with some agitation on this indifference of his; and her -mind was much exercised with arguments drawn from the varying -conditions of climate which modify human needs, and from the admitted -wickedness of pagan despots. Should she not urge these arguments on Mr. -Casaubon when he came again? But further reflection told her that she -was presumptuous in demanding his attention to such a subject; he would -not disapprove of her occupying herself with it in leisure moments, as -other women expected to occupy themselves with their dress and -embroiderywould not forbid it whenDorothea felt rather ashamed as she -detected herself in these speculations. But her uncle had been invited -to go to Lowick to stay a couple of days: was it reasonable to suppose -that Mr. Casaubon delighted in Mr. Brookes society for its own sake, -either with or without documents? - -Meanwhile that little disappointment made her delight the more in Sir -James Chettams readiness to set on foot the desired improvements. He -came much oftener than Mr. Casaubon, and Dorothea ceased to find him -disagreeable since he showed himself so entirely in earnest; for he had -already entered with much practical ability into Lovegoods estimates, -and was charmingly docile. She proposed to build a couple of cottages, -and transfer two families from their old cabins, which could then be -pulled down, so that new ones could be built on the old sites. Sir -James said Exactly, and she bore the word remarkably well. - -Certainly these men who had so few spontaneous ideas might be very -useful members of society under good feminine direction, if they were -fortunate in choosing their sisters-in-law! It is difficult to say -whether there was or was not a little wilfulness in her continuing -blind to the possibility that another sort of choice was in question in -relation to her. But her life was just now full of hope and action: she -was not only thinking of her plans, but getting down learned books from -the library and reading many things hastily (that she might be a little -less ignorant in talking to Mr. Casaubon), all the while being visited -with conscientious questionings whether she were not exalting these -poor doings above measure and contemplating them with that -self-satisfaction which was the last doom of ignorance and folly. - - - - -CHAPTER IV. - -1_st Gent_. Our deeds are fetters that we forge ourselves. - -2_d Gent._ Ay, truly: but I think it is the world -That brings the iron. - - -Sir James seems determined to do everything you wish, said Celia, as -they were driving home from an inspection of the new building-site. - -He is a good creature, and more sensible than any one would imagine, -said Dorothea, inconsiderately. - -You mean that he appears silly. - -No, no, said Dorothea, recollecting herself, and laying her hand on -her sisters a moment, but he does not talk equally well on all -subjects. - -I should think none but disagreeable people do, said Celia, in her -usual purring way. They must be very dreadful to live with. Only -think! at breakfast, and always. - -Dorothea laughed. O Kitty, you are a wonderful creature! She pinched -Celias chin, being in the mood now to think her very winning and -lovelyfit hereafter to be an eternal cherub, and if it were not -doctrinally wrong to say so, hardly more in need of salvation than a -squirrel. Of course people need not be always talking well. Only one -tells the quality of their minds when they try to talk well. - -You mean that Sir James tries and fails. - -I was speaking generally. Why do you catechise me about Sir James? It -is not the object of his life to please me. - -Now, Dodo, can you really believe that? - -Certainly. He thinks of me as a future sisterthat is all. Dorothea -had never hinted this before, waiting, from a certain shyness on such -subjects which was mutual between the sisters, until it should be -introduced by some decisive event. Celia blushed, but said at once - -Pray do not make that mistake any longer, Dodo. When Tantripp was -brushing my hair the other day, she said that Sir Jamess man knew from -Mrs. Cadwalladers maid that Sir James was to marry the eldest Miss -Brooke. - -How can you let Tantripp talk such gossip to you, Celia? said -Dorothea, indignantly, not the less angry because details asleep in her -memory were now awakened to confirm the unwelcome revelation. You must -have asked her questions. It is degrading. - -I see no harm at all in Tantripps talking to me. It is better to hear -what people say. You see what mistakes you make by taking up notions. I -am quite sure that Sir James means to make you an offer; and he -believes that you will accept him, especially since you have been so -pleased with him about the plans. And uncle tooI know he expects it. -Every one can see that Sir James is very much in love with you. - -The revulsion was so strong and painful in Dorotheas mind that the -tears welled up and flowed abundantly. All her dear plans were -embittered, and she thought with disgust of Sir Jamess conceiving that -she recognized him as her lover. There was vexation too on account of -Celia. - -How could he expect it? she burst forth in her most impetuous manner. -I have never agreed with him about anything but the cottages: I was -barely polite to him before. - -But you have been so pleased with him since then; he has begun to feel -quite sure that you are fond of him. - -Fond of him, Celia! How can you choose such odious expressions? said -Dorothea, passionately. - -Dear me, Dorothea, I suppose it would be right for you to be fond of a -man whom you accepted for a husband. - -It is offensive to me to say that Sir James could think I was fond of -him. Besides, it is not the right word for the feeling I must have -towards the man I would accept as a husband. - -Well, I am sorry for Sir James. I thought it right to tell you, -because you went on as you always do, never looking just where you are, -and treading in the wrong place. You always see what nobody else sees; -it is impossible to satisfy you; yet you never see what is quite plain. -Thats your way, Dodo. Something certainly gave Celia unusual courage; -and she was not sparing the sister of whom she was occasionally in awe. -Who can tell what just criticisms Murr the Cat may be passing on us -beings of wider speculation? - -It is very painful, said Dorothea, feeling scourged. I can have no -more to do with the cottages. I must be uncivil to him. I must tell him -I will have nothing to do with them. It is very painful. Her eyes -filled again with tears. - -Wait a little. Think about it. You know he is going away for a day or -two to see his sister. There will be nobody besides Lovegood. Celia -could not help relenting. Poor Dodo, she went on, in an amiable -staccato. It is very hard: it is your favorite _fad_ to draw plans. - -_Fad_ to draw plans! Do you think I only care about my -fellow-creatures houses in that childish way? I may well make -mistakes. How can one ever do anything nobly Christian, living among -people with such petty thoughts? - -No more was said; Dorothea was too much jarred to recover her temper -and behave so as to show that she admitted any error in herself. She -was disposed rather to accuse the intolerable narrowness and the -purblind conscience of the society around her: and Celia was no longer -the eternal cherub, but a thorn in her spirit, a pink-and-white -nullifidian, worse than any discouraging presence in the Pilgrims -Progress. The _fad_ of drawing plans! What was life worthwhat great -faith was possible when the whole effect of ones actions could be -withered up into such parched rubbish as that? When she got out of the -carriage, her cheeks were pale and her eyelids red. She was an image of -sorrow, and her uncle who met her in the hall would have been alarmed, -if Celia had not been close to her looking so pretty and composed, that -he at once concluded Dorotheas tears to have their origin in her -excessive religiousness. He had returned, during their absence, from a -journey to the county town, about a petition for the pardon of some -criminal. - -Well, my dears, he said, kindly, as they went up to kiss him, I hope -nothing disagreeable has happened while I have been away. - -No, uncle, said Celia, we have been to Freshitt to look at the -cottages. We thought you would have been at home to lunch. - -I came by Lowick to lunchyou didnt know I came by Lowick. And I have -brought a couple of pamphlets for you, Dorotheain the library, you -know; they lie on the table in the library. - -It seemed as if an electric stream went through Dorothea, thrilling her -from despair into expectation. They were pamphlets about the early -Church. The oppression of Celia, Tantripp, and Sir James was shaken -off, and she walked straight to the library. Celia went up-stairs. Mr. -Brooke was detained by a message, but when he re-entered the library, -he found Dorothea seated and already deep in one of the pamphlets which -had some marginal manuscript of Mr. Casaubons,taking it in as eagerly -as she might have taken in the scent of a fresh bouquet after a dry, -hot, dreary walk. - -She was getting away from Tipton and Freshitt, and her own sad -liability to tread in the wrong places on her way to the New Jerusalem. - -Mr. Brooke sat down in his arm-chair, stretched his legs towards the -wood-fire, which had fallen into a wondrous mass of glowing dice -between the dogs, and rubbed his hands gently, looking very mildly -towards Dorothea, but with a neutral leisurely air, as if he had -nothing particular to say. Dorothea closed her pamphlet, as soon as she -was aware of her uncles presence, and rose as if to go. Usually she -would have been interested about her uncles merciful errand on behalf -of the criminal, but her late agitation had made her absent-minded. - -I came back by Lowick, you know, said Mr. Brooke, not as if with any -intention to arrest her departure, but apparently from his usual -tendency to say what he had said before. This fundamental principle of -human speech was markedly exhibited in Mr. Brooke. I lunched there and -saw Casaubons library, and that kind of thing. Theres a sharp air, -driving. Wont you sit down, my dear? You look cold. - -Dorothea felt quite inclined to accept the invitation. Some times, when -her uncles easy way of taking things did not happen to be -exasperating, it was rather soothing. She threw off her mantle and -bonnet, and sat down opposite to him, enjoying the glow, but lifting up -her beautiful hands for a screen. They were not thin hands, or small -hands; but powerful, feminine, maternal hands. She seemed to be holding -them up in propitiation for her passionate desire to know and to think, -which in the unfriendly mediums of Tipton and Freshitt had issued in -crying and red eyelids. - -She bethought herself now of the condemned criminal. What news have -you brought about the sheep-stealer, uncle? - -What, poor Bunch?well, it seems we cant get him offhe is to be -hanged. - -Dorotheas brow took an expression of reprobation and pity. - -Hanged, you know, said Mr. Brooke, with a quiet nod. Poor Romilly! -he would have helped us. I knew Romilly. Casaubon didnt know Romilly. -He is a little buried in books, you know, Casaubon is. - -When a man has great studies and is writing a great work, he must of -course give up seeing much of the world. How can he go about making -acquaintances? - -Thats true. But a man mopes, you know. I have always been a bachelor -too, but I have that sort of disposition that I never moped; it was my -way to go about everywhere and take in everything. I never moped: but I -can see that Casaubon does, you know. He wants a companiona companion, -you know. - -It would be a great honor to any one to be his companion, said -Dorothea, energetically. - -You like him, eh? said Mr. Brooke, without showing any surprise, or -other emotion. Well, now, Ive known Casaubon ten years, ever since he -came to Lowick. But I never got anything out of himany ideas, you -know. However, he is a tiptop man and may be a bishopthat kind of -thing, you know, if Peel stays in. And he has a very high opinion of -you, my dear. - -Dorothea could not speak. - -The fact is, he has a very high opinion indeed of you. And he speaks -uncommonly welldoes Casaubon. He has deferred to me, you not being of -age. In short, I have promised to speak to you, though I told him I -thought there was not much chance. I was bound to tell him that. I -said, my niece is very young, and that kind of thing. But I didnt -think it necessary to go into everything. However, the long and the -short of it is, that he has asked my permission to make you an offer of -marriageof marriage, you know, said Mr. Brooke, with his explanatory -nod. I thought it better to tell you, my dear. - -No one could have detected any anxiety in Mr. Brookes manner, but he -did really wish to know something of his nieces mind, that, if there -were any need for advice, he might give it in time. What feeling he, as -a magistrate who had taken in so many ideas, could make room for, was -unmixedly kind. Since Dorothea did not speak immediately, he repeated, -I thought it better to tell you, my dear. - -Thank you, uncle, said Dorothea, in a clear unwavering tone. I am -very grateful to Mr. Casaubon. If he makes me an offer, I shall accept -him. I admire and honor him more than any man I ever saw. - -Mr. Brooke paused a little, and then said in a lingering low tone, Ah? - Well! He is a good match in some respects. But now, Chettam is a good -match. And our land lies together. I shall never interfere against your -wishes, my dear. People should have their own way in marriage, and that -sort of thingup to a certain point, you know. I have always said that, -up to a certain point. I wish you to marry well; and I have good reason -to believe that Chettam wishes to marry you. I mention it, you know. - -It is impossible that I should ever marry Sir James Chettam, said -Dorothea. If he thinks of marrying me, he has made a great mistake. - -That is it, you see. One never knows. I should have thought Chettam -was just the sort of man a woman would like, now. - -Pray do not mention him in that light again, uncle, said Dorothea, -feeling some of her late irritation revive. - -Mr. Brooke wondered, and felt that women were an inexhaustible subject -of study, since even he at his age was not in a perfect state of -scientific prediction about them. Here was a fellow like Chettam with -no chance at all. - -Well, but Casaubon, now. There is no hurryI mean for you. Its true, -every year will tell upon him. He is over five-and-forty, you know. I -should say a good seven-and-twenty years older than you. To be sure,if -you like learning and standing, and that sort of thing, we cant have -everything. And his income is goodhe has a handsome property -independent of the Churchhis income is good. Still he is not young, -and I must not conceal from you, my dear, that I think his health is -not over-strong. I know nothing else against him. - -I should not wish to have a husband very near my own age, said -Dorothea, with grave decision. I should wish to have a husband who was -above me in judgment and in all knowledge. - -Mr. Brooke repeated his subdued, Ah?I thought you had more of your -own opinion than most girls. I thought you liked your own opinionliked -it, you know. - -I cannot imagine myself living without some opinions, but I should -wish to have good reasons for them, and a wise man could help me to see -which opinions had the best foundation, and would help me to live -according to them. - -Very true. You couldnt put the thing bettercouldnt put it better, -beforehand, you know. But there are oddities in things, continued Mr. -Brooke, whose conscience was really roused to do the best he could for -his niece on this occasion. Life isnt cast in a mouldnot cut out by -rule and line, and that sort of thing. I never married myself, and it -will be the better for you and yours. The fact is, I never loved any -one well enough to put myself into a noose for them. It _is_ a noose, -you know. Temper, now. There is temper. And a husband likes to be -master. - -I know that I must expect trials, uncle. Marriage is a state of higher -duties. I never thought of it as mere personal ease, said poor -Dorothea. - -Well, you are not fond of show, a great establishment, balls, dinners, -that kind of thing. I can see that Casaubons ways might suit you -better than Chettams. And you shall do as you like, my dear. I would -not hinder Casaubon; I said so at once; for there is no knowing how -anything may turn out. You have not the same tastes as every young -lady; and a clergyman and scholarwho may be a bishopthat kind of -thingmay suit you better than Chettam. Chettam is a good fellow, a -good sound-hearted fellow, you know; but he doesnt go much into ideas. -I did, when I was his age. But Casaubons eyes, now. I think he has -hurt them a little with too much reading. - -I should be all the happier, uncle, the more room there was for me to -help him, said Dorothea, ardently. - -You have quite made up your mind, I see. Well, my dear, the fact is, I -have a letter for you in my pocket. Mr. Brooke handed the letter to -Dorothea, but as she rose to go away, he added, There is not too much -hurry, my dear. Think about it, you know. - -When Dorothea had left him, he reflected that he had certainly spoken -strongly: he had put the risks of marriage before her in a striking -manner. It was his duty to do so. But as to pretending to be wise for -young people,no uncle, however much he had travelled in his youth, -absorbed the new ideas, and dined with celebrities now deceased, could -pretend to judge what sort of marriage would turn out well for a young -girl who preferred Casaubon to Chettam. In short, woman was a problem -which, since Mr. Brookes mind felt blank before it, could be hardly -less complicated than the revolutions of an irregular solid. - - - - -CHAPTER V. - -Hard students are commonly troubled with gowts, catarrhs, rheums, -cachexia, bradypepsia, bad eyes, stone, and collick, crudities, -oppilations, vertigo, winds, consumptions, and all such diseases as -come by over-much sitting: they are most part lean, dry, ill-colored -and all through immoderate pains and extraordinary studies. If you will -not believe the truth of this, look upon great Tostatus and Thomas -Aquinas works; and tell me whether those men took pains.BURTONS -_Anatomy of Melancholy_, P. I, s. 2. - - -This was Mr. Casaubons letter. - -MY DEAR MISS BROOKE,I have your guardians permission to address you -on a subject than which I have none more at heart. I am not, I trust, -mistaken in the recognition of some deeper correspondence than that of -date in the fact that a consciousness of need in my own life had arisen -contemporaneously with the possibility of my becoming acquainted with -you. For in the first hour of meeting you, I had an impression of your -eminent and perhaps exclusive fitness to supply that need (connected, I -may say, with such activity of the affections as even the -preoccupations of a work too special to be abdicated could not -uninterruptedly dissimulate); and each succeeding opportunity for -observation has given the impression an added depth by convincing me -more emphatically of that fitness which I had preconceived, and thus -evoking more decisively those affections to which I have but now -referred. Our conversations have, I think, made sufficiently clear to -you the tenor of my life and purposes: a tenor unsuited, I am aware, to -the commoner order of minds. But I have discerned in you an elevation -of thought and a capability of devotedness, which I had hitherto not -conceived to be compatible either with the early bloom of youth or with -those graces of sex that may be said at once to win and to confer -distinction when combined, as they notably are in you, with the mental -qualities above indicated. It was, I confess, beyond my hope to meet -with this rare combination of elements both solid and attractive, -adapted to supply aid in graver labors and to cast a charm over vacant -hours; and but for the event of my introduction to you (which, let me -again say, I trust not to be superficially coincident with -foreshadowing needs, but providentially related thereto as stages -towards the completion of a lifes plan), I should presumably have gone -on to the last without any attempt to lighten my solitariness by a -matrimonial union. - Such, my dear Miss Brooke, is the accurate statement of my - feelings; and I rely on your kind indulgence in venturing now to - ask you how far your own are of a nature to confirm my happy - presentiment. To be accepted by you as your husband and the earthly - guardian of your welfare, I should regard as the highest of - providential gifts. In return I can at least offer you an affection - hitherto unwasted, and the faithful consecration of a life which, - however short in the sequel, has no backward pages whereon, if you - choose to turn them, you will find records such as might justly - cause you either bitterness or shame. I await the expression of - your sentiments with an anxiety which it would be the part of - wisdom (were it possible) to divert by a more arduous labor than - usual. But in this order of experience I am still young, and in - looking forward to an unfavorable possibility I cannot but feel - that resignation to solitude will be more difficult after the - temporary illumination of hope. - - -In any case, I shall remain, - Yours with sincere devotion, - EDWARD CASAUBON. - - -Dorothea trembled while she read this letter; then she fell on her -knees, buried her face, and sobbed. She could not pray: under the rush -of solemn emotion in which thoughts became vague and images floated -uncertainly, she could but cast herself, with a childlike sense of -reclining, in the lap of a divine consciousness which sustained her -own. She remained in that attitude till it was time to dress for -dinner. - -How could it occur to her to examine the letter, to look at it -critically as a profession of love? Her whole soul was possessed by the -fact that a fuller life was opening before her: she was a neophyte -about to enter on a higher grade of initiation. She was going to have -room for the energies which stirred uneasily under the dimness and -pressure of her own ignorance and the petty peremptoriness of the -worlds habits. - -Now she would be able to devote herself to large yet definite duties; -now she would be allowed to live continually in the light of a mind -that she could reverence. This hope was not unmixed with the glow of -proud delightthe joyous maiden surprise that she was chosen by the man -whom her admiration had chosen. All Dorotheas passion was transfused -through a mind struggling towards an ideal life; the radiance of her -transfigured girlhood fell on the first object that came within its -level. The impetus with which inclination became resolution was -heightened by those little events of the day which had roused her -discontent with the actual conditions of her life. - -After dinner, when Celia was playing an air, with variations, a small -kind of tinkling which symbolized the aesthetic part of the young -ladies education, Dorothea went up to her room to answer Mr. -Casaubons letter. Why should she defer the answer? She wrote it over -three times, not because she wished to change the wording, but because -her hand was unusually uncertain, and she could not bear that Mr. -Casaubon should think her handwriting bad and illegible. She piqued -herself on writing a hand in which each letter was distinguishable -without any large range of conjecture, and she meant to make much use -of this accomplishment, to save Mr. Casaubons eyes. Three times she -wrote. - -MY DEAR MR. CASAUBON,I am very grateful to you for loving me, and -thinking me worthy to be your wife. I can look forward to no better -happiness than that which would be one with yours. If I said more, it -would only be the same thing written out at greater length, for I -cannot now dwell on any other thought than that I may be through life - - -Yours devotedly, - DOROTHEA BROOKE. - - -Later in the evening she followed her uncle into the library to give -him the letter, that he might send it in the morning. He was surprised, -but his surprise only issued in a few moments silence, during which he -pushed about various objects on his writing-table, and finally stood -with his back to the fire, his glasses on his nose, looking at the -address of Dorotheas letter. - -Have you thought enough about this, my dear? he said at last. - -There was no need to think long, uncle. I know of nothing to make me -vacillate. If I changed my mind, it must be because of something -important and entirely new to me. - -Ah!then you have accepted him? Then Chettam has no chance? Has -Chettam offended youoffended you, you know? What is it you dont like -in Chettam? - -There is nothing that I like in him, said Dorothea, rather -impetuously. - -Mr. Brooke threw his head and shoulders backward as if some one had -thrown a light missile at him. Dorothea immediately felt some -self-rebuke, and said - -I mean in the light of a husband. He is very kind, I thinkreally very -good about the cottages. A well-meaning man. - -But you must have a scholar, and that sort of thing? Well, it lies a -little in our family. I had it myselfthat love of knowledge, and going -into everythinga little too muchit took me too far; though that sort -of thing doesnt often run in the female-line; or it runs underground -like the rivers in Greece, you knowit comes out in the sons. Clever -sons, clever mothers. I went a good deal into that, at one time. -However, my dear, I have always said that people should do as they like -in these things, up to a certain point. I couldnt, as your guardian, -have consented to a bad match. But Casaubon stands well: his position -is good. I am afraid Chettam will be hurt, though, and Mrs. Cadwallader -will blame me. - -That evening, of course, Celia knew nothing of what had happened. She -attributed Dorotheas abstracted manner, and the evidence of further -crying since they had got home, to the temper she had been in about Sir -James Chettam and the buildings, and was careful not to give further -offence: having once said what she wanted to say, Celia had no -disposition to recur to disagreeable subjects. It had been her nature -when a child never to quarrel with any oneonly to observe with wonder -that they quarrelled with her, and looked like turkey-cocks; whereupon -she was ready to play at cats cradle with them whenever they recovered -themselves. And as to Dorothea, it had always been her way to find -something wrong in her sisters words, though Celia inwardly protested -that she always said just how things were, and nothing else: she never -did and never could put words together out of her own head. But the -best of Dodo was, that she did not keep angry for long together. Now, -though they had hardly spoken to each other all the evening, yet when -Celia put by her work, intending to go to bed, a proceeding in which -she was always much the earlier, Dorothea, who was seated on a low -stool, unable to occupy herself except in meditation, said, with the -musical intonation which in moments of deep but quiet feeling made her -speech like a fine bit of recitative - -Celia, dear, come and kiss me, holding her arms open as she spoke. - -Celia knelt down to get the right level and gave her little butterfly -kiss, while Dorothea encircled her with gentle arms and pressed her -lips gravely on each cheek in turn. - -Dont sit up, Dodo, you are so pale to-night: go to bed soon, said -Celia, in a comfortable way, without any touch of pathos. - -No, dear, I am very, very happy, said Dorothea, fervently. - -So much the better, thought Celia. But how strangely Dodo goes from -one extreme to the other. - -The next day, at luncheon, the butler, handing something to Mr. Brooke, -said, Jonas is come back, sir, and has brought this letter. - -Mr. Brooke read the letter, and then, nodding toward Dorothea, said, -Casaubon, my dear: he will be here to dinner; he didnt wait to write -moredidnt wait, you know. - -It could not seem remarkable to Celia that a dinner guest should be -announced to her sister beforehand, but, her eyes following the same -direction as her uncles, she was struck with the peculiar effect of -the announcement on Dorothea. It seemed as if something like the -reflection of a white sunlit wing had passed across her features, -ending in one of her rare blushes. For the first time it entered into -Celias mind that there might be something more between Mr. Casaubon -and her sister than his delight in bookish talk and her delight in -listening. Hitherto she had classed the admiration for this ugly and -learned acquaintance with the admiration for Monsieur Liret at -Lausanne, also ugly and learned. Dorothea had never been tired of -listening to old Monsieur Liret when Celias feet were as cold as -possible, and when it had really become dreadful to see the skin of his -bald head moving about. Why then should her enthusiasm not extend to -Mr. Casaubon simply in the same way as to Monsieur Liret? And it seemed -probable that all learned men had a sort of schoolmasters view of -young people. - -But now Celia was really startled at the suspicion which had darted -into her mind. She was seldom taken by surprise in this way, her -marvellous quickness in observing a certain order of signs generally -preparing her to expect such outward events as she had an interest in. -Not that she now imagined Mr. Casaubon to be already an accepted lover: -she had only begun to feel disgust at the possibility that anything in -Dorotheas mind could tend towards such an issue. Here was something -really to vex her about Dodo: it was all very well not to accept Sir -James Chettam, but the idea of marrying Mr. Casaubon! Celia felt a sort -of shame mingled with a sense of the ludicrous. But perhaps Dodo, if -she were really bordering on such an extravagance, might be turned away -from it: experience had often shown that her impressibility might be -calculated on. The day was damp, and they were not going to walk out, -so they both went up to their sitting-room; and there Celia observed -that Dorothea, instead of settling down with her usual diligent -interest to some occupation, simply leaned her elbow on an open book -and looked out of the window at the great cedar silvered with the damp. -She herself had taken up the making of a toy for the curates children, -and was not going to enter on any subject too precipitately. - -Dorothea was in fact thinking that it was desirable for Celia to know -of the momentous change in Mr. Casaubons position since he had last -been in the house: it did not seem fair to leave her in ignorance of -what would necessarily affect her attitude towards him; but it was -impossible not to shrink from telling her. Dorothea accused herself of -some meanness in this timidity: it was always odious to her to have any -small fears or contrivances about her actions, but at this moment she -was seeking the highest aid possible that she might not dread the -corrosiveness of Celias pretty carnally minded prose. Her reverie was -broken, and the difficulty of decision banished, by Celias small and -rather guttural voice speaking in its usual tone, of a remark aside or -a by the bye. - -Is any one else coming to dine besides Mr. Casaubon? - -Not that I know of. - -I hope there is some one else. Then I shall not hear him eat his soup -so. - -What is there remarkable about his soup-eating? - -Really, Dodo, cant you hear how he scrapes his spoon? And he always -blinks before he speaks. I dont know whether Locke blinked, but Im -sure I am sorry for those who sat opposite to him if he did. - -Celia, said Dorothea, with emphatic gravity, pray dont make any -more observations of that kind. - -Why not? They are quite true, returned Celia, who had her reasons for -persevering, though she was beginning to be a little afraid. - -Many things are true which only the commonest minds observe. - -Then I think the commonest minds must be rather useful. I think it is -a pity Mr. Casaubons mother had not a commoner mind: she might have -taught him better. Celia was inwardly frightened, and ready to run -away, now she had hurled this light javelin. - -Dorotheas feelings had gathered to an avalanche, and there could be no -further preparation. - -It is right to tell you, Celia, that I am engaged to marry Mr. -Casaubon. - -Perhaps Celia had never turned so pale before. The paper man she was -making would have had his leg injured, but for her habitual care of -whatever she held in her hands. She laid the fragile figure down at -once, and sat perfectly still for a few moments. When she spoke there -was a tear gathering. - -Oh, Dodo, I hope you will be happy. Her sisterly tenderness could not -but surmount other feelings at this moment, and her fears were the -fears of affection. - -Dorothea was still hurt and agitated. - -It is quite decided, then? said Celia, in an awed under tone. And -uncle knows? - -I have accepted Mr. Casaubons offer. My uncle brought me the letter -that contained it; he knew about it beforehand. - -I beg your pardon, if I have said anything to hurt you, Dodo, said -Celia, with a slight sob. She never could have thought that she should -feel as she did. There was something funereal in the whole affair, and -Mr. Casaubon seemed to be the officiating clergyman, about whom it -would be indecent to make remarks. - -Never mind, Kitty, do not grieve. We should never admire the same -people. I often offend in something of the same way; I am apt to speak -too strongly of those who dont please me. - -In spite of this magnanimity Dorothea was still smarting: perhaps as -much from Celias subdued astonishment as from her small criticisms. Of -course all the world round Tipton would be out of sympathy with this -marriage. Dorothea knew of no one who thought as she did about life and -its best objects. - -Nevertheless before the evening was at an end she was very happy. In an -hours _tte--tte_ with Mr. Casaubon she talked to him with more -freedom than she had ever felt before, even pouring out her joy at the -thought of devoting herself to him, and of learning how she might best -share and further all his great ends. Mr. Casaubon was touched with an -unknown delight (what man would not have been?) at this childlike -unrestrained ardor: he was not surprised (what lover would have been?) -that he should be the object of it. - -My dear young ladyMiss BrookeDorothea! he said, pressing her hand -between his hands, this is a happiness greater than I had ever -imagined to be in reserve for me. That I should ever meet with a mind -and person so rich in the mingled graces which could render marriage -desirable, was far indeed from my conception. You have allnay, more -than allthose qualities which I have ever regarded as the -characteristic excellences of womanhood. The great charm of your sex is -its capability of an ardent self-sacrificing affection, and herein we -see its fitness to round and complete the existence of our own. -Hitherto I have known few pleasures save of the severer kind: my -satisfactions have been those of the solitary student. I have been -little disposed to gather flowers that would wither in my hand, but now -I shall pluck them with eagerness, to place them in your bosom. - -No speech could have been more thoroughly honest in its intention: the -frigid rhetoric at the end was as sincere as the bark of a dog, or the -cawing of an amorous rook. Would it not be rash to conclude that there -was no passion behind those sonnets to Delia which strike us as the -thin music of a mandolin? - -Dorotheas faith supplied all that Mr. Casaubons words seemed to leave -unsaid: what believer sees a disturbing omission or infelicity? The -text, whether of prophet or of poet, expands for whatever we can put -into it, and even his bad grammar is sublime. - -I am very ignorantyou will quite wonder at my ignorance, said -Dorothea. I have so many thoughts that may be quite mistaken; and now -I shall be able to tell them all to you, and ask you about them. But, -she added, with rapid imagination of Mr. Casaubons probable feeling, -I will not trouble you too much; only when you are inclined to listen -to me. You must often be weary with the pursuit of subjects in your own -track. I shall gain enough if you will take me with you there. - -How should I be able now to persevere in any path without your -companionship? said Mr. Casaubon, kissing her candid brow, and feeling -that heaven had vouchsafed him a blessing in every way suited to his -peculiar wants. He was being unconsciously wrought upon by the charms -of a nature which was entirely without hidden calculations either for -immediate effects or for remoter ends. It was this which made Dorothea -so childlike, and, according to some judges, so stupid, with all her -reputed cleverness; as, for example, in the present case of throwing -herself, metaphorically speaking, at Mr. Casaubons feet, and kissing -his unfashionable shoe-ties as if he were a Protestant Pope. She was -not in the least teaching Mr. Casaubon to ask if he were good enough -for her, but merely asking herself anxiously how she could be good -enough for Mr. Casaubon. Before he left the next day it had been -decided that the marriage should take place within six weeks. Why not? -Mr. Casaubons house was ready. It was not a parsonage, but a -considerable mansion, with much land attached to it. The parsonage was -inhabited by the curate, who did all the duty except preaching the -morning sermon. - - - - -CHAPTER VI. - -My ladys tongue is like the meadow blades, -That cut you stroking them with idle hand. -Nice cutting is her function: she divides -With spiritual edge the millet-seed, -And makes intangible savings. - - -As Mr. Casaubons carriage was passing out of the gateway, it arrested -the entrance of a pony phaeton driven by a lady with a servant seated -behind. It was doubtful whether the recognition had been mutual, for -Mr. Casaubon was looking absently before him; but the lady was -quick-eyed, and threw a nod and a How do you do? in the nick of time. -In spite of her shabby bonnet and very old Indian shawl, it was plain -that the lodge-keeper regarded her as an important personage, from the -low curtsy which was dropped on the entrance of the small phaeton. - -Well, Mrs. Fitchett, how are your fowls laying now? said the -high-colored, dark-eyed lady, with the clearest chiselled utterance. - -Pretty well for laying, madam, but theyve taen to eating their eggs: -Ive no peace o mind with em at all. - -Oh, the cannibals! Better sell them cheap at once. What will you sell -them a couple? One cant eat fowls of a bad character at a high price. - -Well, madam, half-a-crown: I couldnt let em go, not under. - -Half-a-crown, these times! Come nowfor the Rectors chicken-broth on -a Sunday. He has consumed all ours that I can spare. You are half paid -with the sermon, Mrs. Fitchett, remember that. Take a pair of -tumbler-pigeons for themlittle beauties. You must come and see them. -You have no tumblers among your pigeons. - -Well, madam, Master Fitchett shall go and see em after work. Hes -very hot on new sorts; to oblige you. - -Oblige me! It will be the best bargain he ever made. A pair of church -pigeons for a couple of wicked Spanish fowls that eat their own eggs! -Dont you and Fitchett boast too much, that is all! - -The phaeton was driven onwards with the last words, leaving Mrs. -Fitchett laughing and shaking her head slowly, with an interjectional -Sure_ly_, sure_ly_!from which it might be inferred that she would -have found the country-side somewhat duller if the Rectors lady had -been less free-spoken and less of a skinflint. Indeed, both the farmers -and laborers in the parishes of Freshitt and Tipton would have felt a -sad lack of conversation but for the stories about what Mrs. -Cadwallader said and did: a lady of immeasurably high birth, descended, -as it were, from unknown earls, dim as the crowd of heroic shadeswho -pleaded poverty, pared down prices, and cut jokes in the most -companionable manner, though with a turn of tongue that let you know -who she was. Such a lady gave a neighborliness to both rank and -religion, and mitigated the bitterness of uncommuted tithe. A much more -exemplary character with an infusion of sour dignity would not have -furthered their comprehension of the Thirty-nine Articles, and would -have been less socially uniting. - -Mr. Brooke, seeing Mrs. Cadwalladers merits from a different point of -view, winced a little when her name was announced in the library, where -he was sitting alone. - -I see you have had our Lowick Cicero here, she said, seating herself -comfortably, throwing back her wraps, and showing a thin but well-built -figure. I suspect you and he are brewing some bad polities, else you -would not be seeing so much of the lively man. I shall inform against -you: remember you are both suspicious characters since you took Peels -side about the Catholic Bill. I shall tell everybody that you are going -to put up for Middlemarch on the Whig side when old Pinkerton resigns, -and that Casaubon is going to help you in an underhand manner: going to -bribe the voters with pamphlets, and throw open the public-houses to -distribute them. Come, confess! - -Nothing of the sort, said Mr. Brooke, smiling and rubbing his -eye-glasses, but really blushing a little at the impeachment. Casaubon -and I dont talk politics much. He doesnt care much about the -philanthropic side of things; punishments, and that kind of thing. He -only cares about Church questions. That is not my line of action, you -know. - -Ra-a-ther too much, my friend. I have heard of your doings. Who was it -that sold his bit of land to the Papists at Middlemarch? I believe you -bought it on purpose. You are a perfect Guy Faux. See if you are not -burnt in effigy this 5th of November coming. Humphrey would not come to -quarrel with you about it, so I am come. - -Very good. I was prepared to be persecuted for not persecutingnot -persecuting, you know. - -There you go! That is a piece of clap-trap you have got ready for the -hustings. Now, _do not_ let them lure you to the hustings, my dear Mr. -Brooke. A man always makes a fool of himself, speechifying: theres no -excuse but being on the right side, so that you can ask a blessing on -your humming and hawing. You will lose yourself, I forewarn you. You -will make a Saturday pie of all parties opinions, and be pelted by -everybody. - -That is what I expect, you know, said Mr. Brooke, not wishing to -betray how little he enjoyed this prophetic sketchwhat I expect as an -independent man. As to the Whigs, a man who goes with the thinkers is -not likely to be hooked on by any party. He may go with them up to a -certain pointup to a certain point, you know. But that is what you -ladies never understand. - -Where your certain point is? No. I should like to be told how a man -can have any certain point when he belongs to no partyleading a roving -life, and never letting his friends know his address. Nobody knows -where Brooke will betheres no counting on Brookethat is what people -say of you, to be quite frank. Now, do turn respectable. How will you -like going to Sessions with everybody looking shy on you, and you with -a bad conscience and an empty pocket? - -I dont pretend to argue with a lady on politics, said Mr. Brooke, -with an air of smiling indifference, but feeling rather unpleasantly -conscious that this attack of Mrs. Cadwalladers had opened the -defensive campaign to which certain rash steps had exposed him. Your -sex are not thinkers, you know_varium et mutabile semper_that kind of -thing. You dont know Virgil. I knewMr. Brooke reflected in time that -he had not had the personal acquaintance of the Augustan poetI was -going to say, poor Stoddart, you know. That was what _he_ said. You -ladies are always against an independent attitudea mans caring for -nothing but truth, and that sort of thing. And there is no part of the -county where opinion is narrower than it is hereI dont mean to throw -stones, you know, but somebody is wanted to take the independent line; -and if I dont take it, who will? - -Who? Why, any upstart who has got neither blood nor position. People -of standing should consume their independent nonsense at home, not hawk -it about. And you! who are going to marry your niece, as good as your -daughter, to one of our best men. Sir James would be cruelly annoyed: -it will be too hard on him if you turn round now and make yourself a -Whig sign-board. - -Mr. Brooke again winced inwardly, for Dorotheas engagement had no -sooner been decided, than he had thought of Mrs. Cadwalladers -prospective taunts. It might have been easy for ignorant observers to -say, Quarrel with Mrs. Cadwallader; but where is a country gentleman -to go who quarrels with his oldest neighbors? Who could taste the fine -flavor in the name of Brooke if it were delivered casually, like wine -without a seal? Certainly a man can only be cosmopolitan up to a -certain point. - -I hope Chettam and I shall always be good friends; but I am sorry to -say there is no prospect of his marrying my niece, said Mr. Brooke, -much relieved to see through the window that Celia was coming in. - -Why not? said Mrs. Cadwallader, with a sharp note of surprise. It is -hardly a fortnight since you and I were talking about it. - -My niece has chosen another suitorhas chosen him, you know. I have -had nothing to do with it. I should have preferred Chettam; and I -should have said Chettam was the man any girl would have chosen. But -there is no accounting for these things. Your sex is capricious, you -know. - -Why, whom do you mean to say that you are going to let her marry? -Mrs. Cadwalladers mind was rapidly surveying the possibilities of -choice for Dorothea. - -But here Celia entered, blooming from a walk in the garden, and the -greeting with her delivered Mr. Brooke from the necessity of answering -immediately. He got up hastily, and saying, By the way, I must speak -to Wright about the horses, shuffled quickly out of the room. - -My dear child, what is this?this about your sisters engagement? -said Mrs. Cadwallader. - -She is engaged to marry Mr. Casaubon, said Celia, resorting, as -usual, to the simplest statement of fact, and enjoying this opportunity -of speaking to the Rectors wife alone. - -This is frightful. How long has it been going on? - -I only knew of it yesterday. They are to be married in six weeks. - -Well, my dear, I wish you joy of your brother-in-law. - -I am so sorry for Dorothea. - -Sorry! It is her doing, I suppose. - -Yes; she says Mr. Casaubon has a great soul. - -With all my heart. - -Oh, Mrs. Cadwallader, I dont think it can be nice to marry a man with -a great soul. - -Well, my dear, take warning. You know the look of one now; when the -next comes and wants to marry you, dont you accept him. - -Im sure I never should. - -No; one such in a family is enough. So your sister never cared about -Sir James Chettam? What would you have said to _him_ for a -brother-in-law? - -I should have liked that very much. I am sure he would have been a -good husband. Only, Celia added, with a slight blush (she sometimes -seemed to blush as she breathed), I dont think he would have suited -Dorothea. - -Not high-flown enough? - -Dodo is very strict. She thinks so much about everything, and is so -particular about what one says. Sir James never seemed to please her. - -She must have encouraged him, I am sure. That is not very creditable. - -Please dont be angry with Dodo; she does not see things. She thought -so much about the cottages, and she was rude to Sir James sometimes; -but he is so kind, he never noticed it. - -Well, said Mrs. Cadwallader, putting on her shawl, and rising, as if -in haste, I must go straight to Sir James and break this to him. He -will have brought his mother back by this time, and I must call. Your -uncle will never tell him. We are all disappointed, my dear. Young -people should think of their families in marrying. I set a bad -examplemarried a poor clergyman, and made myself a pitiable object -among the De Bracysobliged to get my coals by stratagem, and pray to -heaven for my salad oil. However, Casaubon has money enough; I must do -him that justice. As to his blood, I suppose the family quarterings are -three cuttle-fish sable, and a commentator rampant. By the bye, before -I go, my dear, I must speak to your Mrs. Carter about pastry. I want to -send my young cook to learn of her. Poor people with four children, -like us, you know, cant afford to keep a good cook. I have no doubt -Mrs. Carter will oblige me. Sir Jamess cook is a perfect dragon. -In less than an hour, Mrs. Cadwallader had circumvented Mrs. Carter and -driven to Freshitt Hall, which was not far from her own parsonage, her -husband being resident in Freshitt and keeping a curate in Tipton. -Sir James Chettam had returned from the short journey which had kept -him absent for a couple of days, and had changed his dress, intending -to ride over to Tipton Grange. His horse was standing at the door when -Mrs. Cadwallader drove up, and he immediately appeared there himself, -whip in hand. Lady Chettam had not yet returned, but Mrs. Cadwalladers -errand could not be despatched in the presence of grooms, so she asked -to be taken into the conservatory close by, to look at the new plants; -and on coming to a contemplative stand, she said -I have a great shock for you; I hope you are not so far gone in love -as you pretended to be. +MOBY-DICK; -It was of no use protesting against Mrs. Cadwalladers way of putting -things. But Sir Jamess countenance changed a little. He felt a vague -alarm. - -I do believe Brooke is going to expose himself after all. I accused -him of meaning to stand for Middlemarch on the Liberal side, and he -looked silly and never denied ittalked about the independent line, and -the usual nonsense. - -Is that all? said Sir James, much relieved. - -Why, rejoined Mrs. Cadwallader, with a sharper note, you dont mean -to say that you would like him to turn public man in that waymaking a -sort of political Cheap Jack of himself? - -He might be dissuaded, I should think. He would not like the expense. - -That is what I told him. He is vulnerable to reason therealways a few -grains of common-sense in an ounce of miserliness. Miserliness is a -capital quality to run in families; its the safe side for madness to -dip on. And there must be a little crack in the Brooke family, else we -should not see what we are to see. - -What? Brooke standing for Middlemarch? - -Worse than that. I really feel a little responsible. I always told you -Miss Brooke would be such a fine match. I knew there was a great deal -of nonsense in hera flighty sort of Methodistical stuff. But these -things wear out of girls. However, I am taken by surprise for once. - -What do you mean, Mrs. Cadwallader? said Sir James. His fear lest -Miss Brooke should have run away to join the Moravian Brethren, or some -preposterous sect unknown to good society, was a little allayed by the -knowledge that Mrs. Cadwallader always made the worst of things. What -has happened to Miss Brooke? Pray speak out. - -Very well. She is engaged to be married. Mrs. Cadwallader paused a -few moments, observing the deeply hurt expression in her friends face, -which he was trying to conceal by a nervous smile, while he whipped his -boot; but she soon added, Engaged to Casaubon. - -Sir James let his whip fall and stooped to pick it up. Perhaps his face -had never before gathered so much concentrated disgust as when he -turned to Mrs. Cadwallader and repeated, Casaubon? - -Even so. You know my errand now. - -Good God! It is horrible! He is no better than a mummy! (The point of -view has to be allowed for, as that of a blooming and disappointed -rival.) - -She says, he is a great soul.A great bladder for dried peas to rattle -in! said Mrs. Cadwallader. - -What business has an old bachelor like that to marry? said Sir James. -He has one foot in the grave. - -He means to draw it out again, I suppose. - -Brooke ought not to allow it: he should insist on its being put off -till she is of age. She would think better of it then. What is a -guardian for? - -As if you could ever squeeze a resolution out of Brooke! - -Cadwallader might talk to him. - -Not he! Humphrey finds everybody charming. I never can get him to -abuse Casaubon. He will even speak well of the bishop, though I tell -him it is unnatural in a beneficed clergyman; what can one do with a -husband who attends so little to the decencies? I hide it as well as I -can by abusing everybody myself. Come, come, cheer up! you are well rid -of Miss Brooke, a girl who would have been requiring you to see the -stars by daylight. Between ourselves, little Celia is worth two of her, -and likely after all to be the better match. For this marriage to -Casaubon is as good as going to a nunnery. - -Oh, on my own accountit is for Miss Brookes sake I think her friends -should try to use their influence. - -Well, Humphrey doesnt know yet. But when I tell him, you may depend -on it he will say, Why not? Casaubon is a good fellowand youngyoung -enough. These charitable people never know vinegar from wine till they -have swallowed it and got the colic. However, if I were a man I should -prefer Celia, especially when Dorothea was gone. The truth is, you have -been courting one and have won the other. I can see that she admires -you almost as much as a man expects to be admired. If it were any one -but me who said so, you might think it exaggeration. Good-by! - -Sir James handed Mrs. Cadwallader to the phaeton, and then jumped on -his horse. He was not going to renounce his ride because of his -friends unpleasant newsonly to ride the faster in some other -direction than that of Tipton Grange. - -Now, why on earth should Mrs. Cadwallader have been at all busy about -Miss Brookes marriage; and why, when one match that she liked to think -she had a hand in was frustrated, should she have straightway contrived -the preliminaries of another? Was there any ingenious plot, any -hide-and-seek course of action, which might be detected by a careful -telescopic watch? Not at all: a telescope might have swept the parishes -of Tipton and Freshitt, the whole area visited by Mrs. Cadwallader in -her phaeton, without witnessing any interview that could excite -suspicion, or any scene from which she did not return with the same -unperturbed keenness of eye and the same high natural color. In fact, -if that convenient vehicle had existed in the days of the Seven Sages, -one of them would doubtless have remarked, that you can know little of -women by following them about in their pony-phaetons. Even with a -microscope directed on a water-drop we find ourselves making -interpretations which turn out to be rather coarse; for whereas under a -weak lens you may seem to see a creature exhibiting an active voracity -into which other smaller creatures actively play as if they were so -many animated tax-pennies, a stronger lens reveals to you certain -tiniest hairlets which make vortices for these victims while the -swallower waits passively at his receipt of custom. In this way, -metaphorically speaking, a strong lens applied to Mrs. Cadwalladers -match-making will show a play of minute causes producing what may be -called thought and speech vortices to bring her the sort of food she -needed. Her life was rurally simple, quite free from secrets either -foul, dangerous, or otherwise important, and not consciously affected -by the great affairs of the world. All the more did the affairs of the -great world interest her, when communicated in the letters of high-born -relations: the way in which fascinating younger sons had gone to the -dogs by marrying their mistresses; the fine old-blooded idiocy of young -Lord Tapir, and the furious gouty humors of old Lord Megatherium; the -exact crossing of genealogies which had brought a coronet into a new -branch and widened the relations of scandal,these were topics of which -she retained details with the utmost accuracy, and reproduced them in -an excellent pickle of epigrams, which she herself enjoyed the more -because she believed as unquestionably in birth and no-birth as she did -in game and vermin. She would never have disowned any one on the ground -of poverty: a De Bracy reduced to take his dinner in a basin would have -seemed to her an example of pathos worth exaggerating, and I fear his -aristocratic vices would not have horrified her. But her feeling -towards the vulgar rich was a sort of religious hatred: they had -probably made all their money out of high retail prices, and Mrs. -Cadwallader detested high prices for everything that was not paid in -kind at the Rectory: such people were no part of Gods design in making -the world; and their accent was an affliction to the ears. A town where -such monsters abounded was hardly more than a sort of low comedy, which -could not be taken account of in a well-bred scheme of the universe. -Let any lady who is inclined to be hard on Mrs. Cadwallader inquire -into the comprehensiveness of her own beautiful views, and be quite -sure that they afford accommodation for all the lives which have the -honor to coexist with hers. - -With such a mind, active as phosphorus, biting everything that came -near into the form that suited it, how could Mrs. Cadwallader feel that -the Miss Brookes and their matrimonial prospects were alien to her? -especially as it had been the habit of years for her to scold Mr. -Brooke with the friendliest frankness, and let him know in confidence -that she thought him a poor creature. From the first arrival of the -young ladies in Tipton she had prearranged Dorotheas marriage with Sir -James, and if it had taken place would have been quite sure that it was -her doing: that it should not take place after she had preconceived it, -caused her an irritation which every thinker will sympathize with. She -was the diplomatist of Tipton and Freshitt, and for anything to happen -in spite of her was an offensive irregularity. As to freaks like this -of Miss Brookes, Mrs. Cadwallader had no patience with them, and now -saw that her opinion of this girl had been infected with some of her -husbands weak charitableness: those Methodistical whims, that air of -being more religious than the rector and curate together, came from a -deeper and more constitutional disease than she had been willing to -believe. - -However, said Mrs. Cadwallader, first to herself and afterwards to -her husband, I throw her over: there was a chance, if she had married -Sir James, of her becoming a sane, sensible woman. He would never have -contradicted her, and when a woman is not contradicted, she has no -motive for obstinacy in her absurdities. But now I wish her joy of her -hair shirt. - -It followed that Mrs. Cadwallader must decide on another match for Sir -James, and having made up her mind that it was to be the younger Miss -Brooke, there could not have been a more skilful move towards the -success of her plan than her hint to the baronet that he had made an -impression on Celias heart. For he was not one of those gentlemen who -languish after the unattainable Sapphos apple that laughs from the -topmost boughthe charms which - -Smile like the knot of cowslips on the cliff, -Not to be come at by the willing hand. - - -He had no sonnets to write, and it could not strike him agreeably that -he was not an object of preference to the woman whom he had preferred. -Already the knowledge that Dorothea had chosen Mr. Casaubon had bruised -his attachment and relaxed its hold. Although Sir James was a -sportsman, he had some other feelings towards women than towards grouse -and foxes, and did not regard his future wife in the light of prey, -valuable chiefly for the excitements of the chase. Neither was he so -well acquainted with the habits of primitive races as to feel that an -ideal combat for her, tomahawk in hand, so to speak, was necessary to -the historical continuity of the marriage-tie. On the contrary, having -the amiable vanity which knits us to those who are fond of us, and -disinclines us to those who are indifferent, and also a good grateful -nature, the mere idea that a woman had a kindness towards him spun -little threads of tenderness from out his heart towards hers. - -Thus it happened, that after Sir James had ridden rather fast for half -an hour in a direction away from Tipton Grange, he slackened his pace, -and at last turned into a road which would lead him back by a shorter -cut. Various feelings wrought in him the determination after all to go -to the Grange to-day as if nothing new had happened. He could not help -rejoicing that he had never made the offer and been rejected; mere -friendly politeness required that he should call to see Dorothea about -the cottages, and now happily Mrs. Cadwallader had prepared him to -offer his congratulations, if necessary, without showing too much -awkwardness. He really did not like it: giving up Dorothea was very -painful to him; but there was something in the resolve to make this -visit forthwith and conquer all show of feeling, which was a sort of -file-biting and counter-irritant. And without his distinctly -recognizing the impulse, there certainly was present in him the sense -that Celia would be there, and that he should pay her more attention -than he had done before. - -We mortals, men and women, devour many a disappointment between -breakfast and dinner-time; keep back the tears and look a little pale -about the lips, and in answer to inquiries say, Oh, nothing! Pride -helps us; and pride is not a bad thing when it only urges us to hide -our own hurtsnot to hurt others. - - - - -CHAPTER VII. - -Piacer e popone -Vuol la sua stagione. -_Italian Proverb_. - - -Mr. Casaubon, as might be expected, spent a great deal of his time at -the Grange in these weeks, and the hindrance which courtship occasioned -to the progress of his great workthe Key to all Mythologiesnaturally -made him look forward the more eagerly to the happy termination of -courtship. But he had deliberately incurred the hindrance, having made -up his mind that it was now time for him to adorn his life with the -graces of female companionship, to irradiate the gloom which fatigue -was apt to hang over the intervals of studious labor with the play of -female fancy, and to secure in this, his culminating age, the solace of -female tendance for his declining years. Hence he determined to abandon -himself to the stream of feeling, and perhaps was surprised to find -what an exceedingly shallow rill it was. As in droughty regions baptism -by immersion could only be performed symbolically, Mr. Casaubon found -that sprinkling was the utmost approach to a plunge which his stream -would afford him; and he concluded that the poets had much exaggerated -the force of masculine passion. Nevertheless, he observed with pleasure -that Miss Brooke showed an ardent submissive affection which promised -to fulfil his most agreeable previsions of marriage. It had once or -twice crossed his mind that possibly there was some deficiency in -Dorothea to account for the moderation of his abandonment; but he was -unable to discern the deficiency, or to figure to himself a woman who -would have pleased him better; so that there was clearly no reason to -fall back upon but the exaggerations of human tradition. - -Could I not be preparing myself now to be more useful? said Dorothea -to him, one morning, early in the time of courtship; could I not learn -to read Latin and Greek aloud to you, as Miltons daughters did to -their father, without understanding what they read? - -I fear that would be wearisome to you, said Mr. Casaubon, smiling; -and, indeed, if I remember rightly, the young women you have mentioned -regarded that exercise in unknown tongues as a ground for rebellion -against the poet. - -Yes; but in the first place they were very naughty girls, else they -would have been proud to minister to such a father; and in the second -place they might have studied privately and taught themselves to -understand what they read, and then it would have been interesting. I -hope you dont expect me to be naughty and stupid? - -I expect you to be all that an exquisite young lady can be in every -possible relation of life. Certainly it might be a great advantage if -you were able to copy the Greek character, and to that end it were well -to begin with a little reading. - -Dorothea seized this as a precious permission. She would not have asked -Mr. Casaubon at once to teach her the languages, dreading of all things -to be tiresome instead of helpful; but it was not entirely out of -devotion to her future husband that she wished to know Latin and Greek. -Those provinces of masculine knowledge seemed to her a standing-ground -from which all truth could be seen more truly. As it was, she -constantly doubted her own conclusions, because she felt her own -ignorance: how could she be confident that one-roomed cottages were not -for the glory of God, when men who knew the classics appeared to -conciliate indifference to the cottages with zeal for the glory? -Perhaps even Hebrew might be necessaryat least the alphabet and a few -rootsin order to arrive at the core of things, and judge soundly on -the social duties of the Christian. And she had not reached that point -of renunciation at which she would have been satisfied with having a -wise husband: she wished, poor child, to be wise herself. Miss Brooke -was certainly very naive with all her alleged cleverness. Celia, whose -mind had never been thought too powerful, saw the emptiness of other -peoples pretensions much more readily. To have in general but little -feeling, seems to be the only security against feeling too much on any -particular occasion. - -However, Mr. Casaubon consented to listen and teach for an hour -together, like a schoolmaster of little boys, or rather like a lover, -to whom a mistresss elementary ignorance and difficulties have a -touching fitness. Few scholars would have disliked teaching the -alphabet under such circumstances. But Dorothea herself was a little -shocked and discouraged at her own stupidity, and the answers she got -to some timid questions about the value of the Greek accents gave her a -painful suspicion that here indeed there might be secrets not capable -of explanation to a womans reason. - -Mr. Brooke had no doubt on that point, and expressed himself with his -usual strength upon it one day that he came into the library while the -reading was going forward. - -Well, but now, Casaubon, such deep studies, classics, mathematics, -that kind of thing, are too taxing for a womantoo taxing, you know. - -Dorothea is learning to read the characters simply, said Mr. -Casaubon, evading the question. She had the very considerate thought -of saving my eyes. - -Ah, well, without understanding, you knowthat may not be so bad. But -there is a lightness about the feminine minda touch and gomusic, the -fine arts, that kind of thingthey should study those up to a certain -point, women should; but in a light way, you know. A woman should be -able to sit down and play you or sing you a good old English tune. That -is what I like; though I have heard most thingsbeen at the opera in -Vienna: Gluck, Mozart, everything of that sort. But Im a conservative -in musicits not like ideas, you know. I stick to the good old tunes. - -Mr. Casaubon is not fond of the piano, and I am very glad he is not, -said Dorothea, whose slight regard for domestic music and feminine fine -art must be forgiven her, considering the small tinkling and smearing -in which they chiefly consisted at that dark period. She smiled and -looked up at her betrothed with grateful eyes. If he had always been -asking her to play the Last Rose of Summer, she would have required -much resignation. He says there is only an old harpsichord at Lowick, -and it is covered with books. - -Ah, there you are behind Celia, my dear. Celia, now, plays very -prettily, and is always ready to play. However, since Casaubon does not -like it, you are all right. But its a pity you should not have little -recreations of that sort, Casaubon: the bow always strungthat kind of -thing, you knowwill not do. - -I never could look on it in the light of a recreation to have my ears -teased with measured noises, said Mr. Casaubon. A tune much iterated -has the ridiculous effect of making the words in my mind perform a sort -of minuet to keep timean effect hardly tolerable, I imagine, after -boyhood. As to the grander forms of music, worthy to accompany solemn -celebrations, and even to serve as an educating influence according to -the ancient conception, I say nothing, for with these we are not -immediately concerned. - -No; but music of that sort I should enjoy, said Dorothea. When we -were coming home from Lausanne my uncle took us to hear the great organ -at Freiberg, and it made me sob. - -That kind of thing is not healthy, my dear, said Mr. Brooke. -Casaubon, she will be in your hands now: you must teach my niece to -take things more quietly, eh, Dorothea? - -He ended with a smile, not wishing to hurt his niece, but really -thinking that it was perhaps better for her to be early married to so -sober a fellow as Casaubon, since she would not hear of Chettam. - -It is wonderful, though, he said to himself as he shuffled out of the -roomit is wonderful that she should have liked him. However, the -match is good. I should have been travelling out of my brief to have -hindered it, let Mrs. Cadwallader say what she will. He is pretty -certain to be a bishop, is Casaubon. That was a very seasonable -pamphlet of his on the Catholic Question:a deanery at least. They owe -him a deanery. - -And here I must vindicate a claim to philosophical reflectiveness, by -remarking that Mr. Brooke on this occasion little thought of the -Radical speech which, at a later period, he was led to make on the -incomes of the bishops. What elegant historian would neglect a striking -opportunity for pointing out that his heroes did not foresee the -history of the world, or even their own actions?For example, that -Henry of Navarre, when a Protestant baby, little thought of being a -Catholic monarch; or that Alfred the Great, when he measured his -laborious nights with burning candles, had no idea of future gentlemen -measuring their idle days with watches. Here is a mine of truth, which, -however vigorously it may be worked, is likely to outlast our coal. - -But of Mr. Brooke I make a further remark perhaps less warranted by -precedentnamely, that if he had foreknown his speech, it might not -have made any great difference. To think with pleasure of his nieces -husband having a large ecclesiastical income was one thingto make a -Liberal speech was another thing; and it is a narrow mind which cannot -look at a subject from various points of view. - - - - -CHAPTER VIII. - -Oh, rescue her! I am her brother now, -And you her father. Every gentle maid -Should have a guardian in each gentleman. - - -It was wonderful to Sir James Chettam how well he continued to like -going to the Grange after he had once encountered the difficulty of -seeing Dorothea for the first time in the light of a woman who was -engaged to another man. Of course the forked lightning seemed to pass -through him when he first approached her, and he remained conscious -throughout the interview of hiding uneasiness; but, good as he was, it -must be owned that his uneasiness was less than it would have been if -he had thought his rival a brilliant and desirable match. He had no -sense of being eclipsed by Mr. Casaubon; he was only shocked that -Dorothea was under a melancholy illusion, and his mortification lost -some of its bitterness by being mingled with compassion. - -Nevertheless, while Sir James said to himself that he had completely -resigned her, since with the perversity of a Desdemona she had not -affected a proposed match that was clearly suitable and according to -nature; he could not yet be quite passive under the idea of her -engagement to Mr. Casaubon. On the day when he first saw them together -in the light of his present knowledge, it seemed to him that he had not -taken the affair seriously enough. Brooke was really culpable; he ought -to have hindered it. Who could speak to him? Something might be done -perhaps even now, at least to defer the marriage. On his way home he -turned into the Rectory and asked for Mr. Cadwallader. Happily, the -Rector was at home, and his visitor was shown into the study, where all -the fishing tackle hung. But he himself was in a little room adjoining, -at work with his turning apparatus, and he called to the baronet to -join him there. The two were better friends than any other landholder -and clergyman in the countya significant fact which was in agreement -with the amiable expression of their faces. - -Mr. Cadwallader was a large man, with full lips and a sweet smile; very -plain and rough in his exterior, but with that solid imperturbable ease -and good-humor which is infectious, and like great grassy hills in the -sunshine, quiets even an irritated egoism, and makes it rather ashamed -of itself. Well, how are you? he said, showing a hand not quite fit -to be grasped. Sorry I missed you before. Is there anything -particular? You look vexed. - -Sir Jamess brow had a little crease in it, a little depression of the -eyebrow, which he seemed purposely to exaggerate as he answered. - -It is only this conduct of Brookes. I really think somebody should -speak to him. - -What? meaning to stand? said Mr. Cadwallader, going on with the -arrangement of the reels which he had just been turning. I hardly -think he means it. But wheres the harm, if he likes it? Any one who -objects to Whiggery should be glad when the Whigs dont put up the -strongest fellow. They wont overturn the Constitution with our friend -Brookes head for a battering ram. - -Oh, I dont mean that, said Sir James, who, after putting down his -hat and throwing himself into a chair, had begun to nurse his leg and -examine the sole of his boot with much bitterness. I mean this -marriage. I mean his letting that blooming young girl marry Casaubon. - -What is the matter with Casaubon? I see no harm in himif the girl -likes him. - -She is too young to know what she likes. Her guardian ought to -interfere. He ought not to allow the thing to be done in this headlong -manner. I wonder a man like you, Cadwalladera man with daughters, can -look at the affair with indifference: and with such a heart as yours! -Do think seriously about it. - -I am not joking; I am as serious as possible, said the Rector, with a -provoking little inward laugh. You are as bad as Elinor. She has been -wanting me to go and lecture Brooke; and I have reminded her that her -friends had a very poor opinion of the match she made when she married -me. - -But look at Casaubon, said Sir James, indignantly. He must be fifty, -and I dont believe he could ever have been much more than the shadow -of a man. Look at his legs! - -Confound you handsome young fellows! you think of having it all your -own way in the world. You dont understand women. They dont admire you -half so much as you admire yourselves. Elinor used to tell her sisters -that she married me for my uglinessit was so various and amusing that -it had quite conquered her prudence. - -You! it was easy enough for a woman to love you. But this is no -question of beauty. I dont _like_ Casaubon. This was Sir Jamess -strongest way of implying that he thought ill of a mans character. - -Why? what do you know against him? said the Rector laying down his -reels, and putting his thumbs into his armholes with an air of -attention. - -Sir James paused. He did not usually find it easy to give his reasons: -it seemed to him strange that people should not know them without being -told, since he only felt what was reasonable. At last he said - -Now, Cadwallader, has he got any heart? - -Well, yes. I dont mean of the melting sort, but a sound kernel, -_that_ you may be sure of. He is very good to his poor relations: -pensions several of the women, and is educating a young fellow at a -good deal of expense. Casaubon acts up to his sense of justice. His -mothers sister made a bad matcha Pole, I thinklost herselfat any -rate was disowned by her family. If it had not been for that, Casaubon -would not have had so much money by half. I believe he went himself to -find out his cousins, and see what he could do for them. Every man -would not ring so well as that, if you tried his metal. _You_ would, -Chettam; but not every man. - -I dont know, said Sir James, coloring. I am not so sure of myself. -He paused a moment, and then added, That was a right thing for -Casaubon to do. But a man may wish to do what is right, and yet be a -sort of parchment code. A woman may not be happy with him. And I think -when a girl is so young as Miss Brooke is, her friends ought to -interfere a little to hinder her from doing anything foolish. You -laugh, because you fancy I have some feeling on my own account. But -upon my honor, it is not that. I should feel just the same if I were -Miss Brookes brother or uncle. - -Well, but what should you do? - -I should say that the marriage must not be decided on until she was of -age. And depend upon it, in that case, it would never come off. I wish -you saw it as I doI wish you would talk to Brooke about it. - -Sir James rose as he was finishing his sentence, for he saw Mrs. -Cadwallader entering from the study. She held by the hand her youngest -girl, about five years old, who immediately ran to papa, and was made -comfortable on his knee. - -I hear what you are talking about, said the wife. But you will make -no impression on Humphrey. As long as the fish rise to his bait, -everybody is what he ought to be. Bless you, Casaubon has got a -trout-stream, and does not care about fishing in it himself: could -there be a better fellow? - -Well, there is something in that, said the Rector, with his quiet, -inward laugh. It is a very good quality in a man to have a -trout-stream. - -But seriously, said Sir James, whose vexation had not yet spent -itself, dont you think the Rector might do some good by speaking? - -Oh, I told you beforehand what he would say, answered Mrs. -Cadwallader, lifting up her eyebrows. I have done what I could: I wash -my hands of the marriage. - -In the first place, said the Rector, looking rather grave, it would -be nonsensical to expect that I could convince Brooke, and make him act -accordingly. Brooke is a very good fellow, but pulpy; he will run into -any mould, but he wont keep shape. - -He might keep shape long enough to defer the marriage, said Sir -James. - -But, my dear Chettam, why should I use my influence to Casaubons -disadvantage, unless I were much surer than I am that I should be -acting for the advantage of Miss Brooke? I know no harm of Casaubon. I -dont care about his Xisuthrus and Fee-fo-fum and the rest; but then he -doesnt care about my fishing-tackle. As to the line he took on the -Catholic Question, that was unexpected; but he has always been civil to -me, and I dont see why I should spoil his sport. For anything I can -tell, Miss Brooke may be happier with him than she would be with any -other man. - -Humphrey! I have no patience with you. You know you would rather dine -under the hedge than with Casaubon alone. You have nothing to say to -each other. - -What has that to do with Miss Brookes marrying him? She does not do -it for my amusement. - -He has got no good red blood in his body, said Sir James. - -No. Somebody put a drop under a magnifying-glass and it was all -semicolons and parentheses, said Mrs. Cadwallader. - -Why does he not bring out his book, instead of marrying, said Sir -James, with a disgust which he held warranted by the sound feeling of -an English layman. - -Oh, he dreams footnotes, and they run away with all his brains. They -say, when he was a little boy, he made an abstract of Hop o my -Thumb, and he has been making abstracts ever since. Ugh! And that is -the man Humphrey goes on saying that a woman may be happy with. - -Well, he is what Miss Brooke likes, said the Rector. I dont profess -to understand every young ladys taste. - -But if she were your own daughter? said Sir James. - -That would be a different affair. She is _not_ my daughter, and I -dont feel called upon to interfere. Casaubon is as good as most of us. -He is a scholarly clergyman, and creditable to the cloth. Some Radical -fellow speechifying at Middlemarch said Casaubon was the learned -straw-chopping incumbent, and Freke was the brick-and-mortar incumbent, -and I was the angling incumbent. And upon my word, I dont see that one -is worse or better than the other. The Rector ended with his silent -laugh. He always saw the joke of any satire against himself. His -conscience was large and easy, like the rest of him: it did only what -it could do without any trouble. - -Clearly, there would be no interference with Miss Brookes marriage -through Mr. Cadwallader; and Sir James felt with some sadness that she -was to have perfect liberty of misjudgment. It was a sign of his good -disposition that he did not slacken at all in his intention of carrying -out Dorotheas design of the cottages. Doubtless this persistence was -the best course for his own dignity: but pride only helps us to be -generous; it never makes us so, any more than vanity makes us witty. -She was now enough aware of Sir Jamess position with regard to her, to -appreciate the rectitude of his perseverance in a landlords duty, to -which he had at first been urged by a lovers complaisance, and her -pleasure in it was great enough to count for something even in her -present happiness. Perhaps she gave to Sir James Chettams cottages all -the interest she could spare from Mr. Casaubon, or rather from the -symphony of hopeful dreams, admiring trust, and passionate self -devotion which that learned gentleman had set playing in her soul. -Hence it happened that in the good baronets succeeding visits, while -he was beginning to pay small attentions to Celia, he found himself -talking with more and more pleasure to Dorothea. She was perfectly -unconstrained and without irritation towards him now, and he was -gradually discovering the delight there is in frank kindness and -companionship between a man and a woman who have no passion to hide or -confess. - - - - -CHAPTER IX. - -1_st Gent_. An ancient land in ancient oracles - Is called law-thirsty: all the struggle there - Was after order and a perfect rule. - Pray, where lie such lands now? . . . - -2_d Gent_. Why, where they lay of oldin human souls. - - -Mr. Casaubons behavior about settlements was highly satisfactory to -Mr. Brooke, and the preliminaries of marriage rolled smoothly along, -shortening the weeks of courtship. The betrothed bride must see her -future home, and dictate any changes that she would like to have made -there. A woman dictates before marriage in order that she may have an -appetite for submission afterwards. And certainly, the mistakes that we -male and female mortals make when we have our own way might fairly -raise some wonder that we are so fond of it. - -On a gray but dry November morning Dorothea drove to Lowick in company -with her uncle and Celia. Mr. Casaubons home was the manor-house. -Close by, visible from some parts of the garden, was the little church, -with the old parsonage opposite. In the beginning of his career, Mr. -Casaubon had only held the living, but the death of his brother had put -him in possession of the manor also. It had a small park, with a fine -old oak here and there, and an avenue of limes towards the southwest -front, with a sunk fence between park and pleasure-ground, so that from -the drawing-room windows the glance swept uninterruptedly along a slope -of greensward till the limes ended in a level of corn and pastures, -which often seemed to melt into a lake under the setting sun. This was -the happy side of the house, for the south and east looked rather -melancholy even under the brightest morning. The grounds here were more -confined, the flower-beds showed no very careful tendance, and large -clumps of trees, chiefly of sombre yews, had risen high, not ten yards -from the windows. The building, of greenish stone, was in the old -English style, not ugly, but small-windowed and melancholy-looking: the -sort of house that must have children, many flowers, open windows, and -little vistas of bright things, to make it seem a joyous home. In this -latter end of autumn, with a sparse remnant of yellow leaves falling -slowly athwart the dark evergreens in a stillness without sunshine, the -house too had an air of autumnal decline, and Mr. Casaubon, when he -presented himself, had no bloom that could be thrown into relief by -that background. - -Oh dear! Celia said to herself, I am sure Freshitt Hall would have -been pleasanter than this. She thought of the white freestone, the -pillared portico, and the terrace full of flowers, Sir James smiling -above them like a prince issuing from his enchantment in a rose-bush, -with a handkerchief swiftly metamorphosed from the most delicately -odorous petalsSir James, who talked so agreeably, always about things -which had common-sense in them, and not about learning! Celia had those -light young feminine tastes which grave and weatherworn gentlemen -sometimes prefer in a wife; but happily Mr. Casaubons bias had been -different, for he would have had no chance with Celia. - -Dorothea, on the contrary, found the house and grounds all that she -could wish: the dark book-shelves in the long library, the carpets and -curtains with colors subdued by time, the curious old maps and -birds-eye views on the walls of the corridor, with here and there an -old vase below, had no oppression for her, and seemed more cheerful -than the casts and pictures at the Grange, which her uncle had long ago -brought home from his travelsthey being probably among the ideas he -had taken in at one time. To poor Dorothea these severe classical -nudities and smirking Renaissance-Correggiosities were painfully -inexplicable, staring into the midst of her Puritanic conceptions: she -had never been taught how she could bring them into any sort of -relevance with her life. But the owners of Lowick apparently had not -been travellers, and Mr. Casaubons studies of the past were not -carried on by means of such aids. - -Dorothea walked about the house with delightful emotion. Everything -seemed hallowed to her: this was to be the home of her wifehood, and -she looked up with eyes full of confidence to Mr. Casaubon when he drew -her attention specially to some actual arrangement and asked her if she -would like an alteration. All appeals to her taste she met gratefully, -but saw nothing to alter. His efforts at exact courtesy and formal -tenderness had no defect for her. She filled up all blanks with -unmanifested perfections, interpreting him as she interpreted the works -of Providence, and accounting for seeming discords by her own deafness -to the higher harmonies. And there are many blanks left in the weeks of -courtship which a loving faith fills with happy assurance. - -Now, my dear Dorothea, I wish you to favor me by pointing out which -room you would like to have as your boudoir, said Mr. Casaubon, -showing that his views of the womanly nature were sufficiently large to -include that requirement. - -It is very kind of you to think of that, said Dorothea, but I assure -you I would rather have all those matters decided for me. I shall be -much happier to take everything as it isjust as you have been used to -have it, or as you will yourself choose it to be. I have no motive for -wishing anything else. - -Oh, Dodo, said Celia, will you not have the bow-windowed room -up-stairs? - -Mr. Casaubon led the way thither. The bow-window looked down the avenue -of limes; the furniture was all of a faded blue, and there were -miniatures of ladies and gentlemen with powdered hair hanging in a -group. A piece of tapestry over a door also showed a blue-green world -with a pale stag in it. The chairs and tables were thin-legged and easy -to upset. It was a room where one might fancy the ghost of a -tight-laced lady revisiting the scene of her embroidery. A light -bookcase contained duodecimo volumes of polite literature in calf, -completing the furniture. - -Yes, said Mr. Brooke, this would be a pretty room with some new -hangings, sofas, and that sort of thing. A little bare now. - -No, uncle, said Dorothea, eagerly. Pray do not speak of altering -anything. There are so many other things in the world that want -alteringI like to take these things as they are. And you like them as -they are, dont you? she added, looking at Mr. Casaubon. Perhaps this -was your mothers room when she was young. - -It was, he said, with his slow bend of the head. - -This is your mother, said Dorothea, who had turned to examine the -group of miniatures. It is like the tiny one you brought me; only, I -should think, a better portrait. And this one opposite, who is this? - -Her elder sister. They were, like you and your sister, the only two -children of their parents, who hang above them, you see. - -The sister is pretty, said Celia, implying that she thought less -favorably of Mr. Casaubons mother. It was a new opening to Celias -imagination, that he came of a family who had all been young in their -timethe ladies wearing necklaces. - -It is a peculiar face, said Dorothea, looking closely. Those deep -gray eyes rather near togetherand the delicate irregular nose with a -sort of ripple in itand all the powdered curls hanging backward. -Altogether it seems to me peculiar rather than pretty. There is not -even a family likeness between her and your mother. - -No. And they were not alike in their lot. - -You did not mention her to me, said Dorothea. - -My aunt made an unfortunate marriage. I never saw her. - -Dorothea wondered a little, but felt that it would be indelicate just -then to ask for any information which Mr. Casaubon did not proffer, and -she turned to the window to admire the view. The sun had lately pierced -the gray, and the avenue of limes cast shadows. - -Shall we not walk in the garden now? said Dorothea. - -And you would like to see the church, you know, said Mr. Brooke. It -is a droll little church. And the village. It all lies in a nut-shell. -By the way, it will suit you, Dorothea; for the cottages are like a row -of alms-houseslittle gardens, gilly-flowers, that sort of thing. - -Yes, please, said Dorothea, looking at Mr. Casaubon, I should like -to see all that. She had got nothing from him more graphic about the -Lowick cottages than that they were not bad. - -They were soon on a gravel walk which led chiefly between grassy -borders and clumps of trees, this being the nearest way to the church, -Mr. Casaubon said. At the little gate leading into the churchyard there -was a pause while Mr. Casaubon went to the parsonage close by to fetch -a key. Celia, who had been hanging a little in the rear, came up -presently, when she saw that Mr. Casaubon was gone away, and said in -her easy staccato, which always seemed to contradict the suspicion of -any malicious intent - -Do you know, Dorothea, I saw some one quite young coming up one of the -walks. - -Is that astonishing, Celia? - -There may be a young gardener, you knowwhy not? said Mr. Brooke. I -told Casaubon he should change his gardener. - -No, not a gardener, said Celia; a gentleman with a sketch-book. He -had light-brown curls. I only saw his back. But he was quite young. - -The curates son, perhaps, said Mr. Brooke. Ah, there is Casaubon -again, and Tucker with him. He is going to introduce Tucker. You dont -know Tucker yet. - -Mr. Tucker was the middle-aged curate, one of the inferior clergy, -who are usually not wanting in sons. But after the introduction, the -conversation did not lead to any question about his family, and the -startling apparition of youthfulness was forgotten by every one but -Celia. She inwardly declined to believe that the light-brown curls and -slim figure could have any relationship to Mr. Tucker, who was just as -old and musty-looking as she would have expected Mr. Casaubons curate -to be; doubtless an excellent man who would go to heaven (for Celia -wished not to be unprincipled), but the corners of his mouth were so -unpleasant. Celia thought with some dismalness of the time she should -have to spend as bridesmaid at Lowick, while the curate had probably no -pretty little children whom she could like, irrespective of principle. - -Mr. Tucker was invaluable in their walk; and perhaps Mr. Casaubon had -not been without foresight on this head, the curate being able to -answer all Dorotheas questions about the villagers and the other -parishioners. Everybody, he assured her, was well off in Lowick: not a -cottager in those double cottages at a low rent but kept a pig, and the -strips of garden at the back were well tended. The small boys wore -excellent corduroy, the girls went out as tidy servants, or did a -little straw-plaiting at home: no looms here, no Dissent; and though -the public disposition was rather towards laying by money than towards -spirituality, there was not much vice. The speckled fowls were so -numerous that Mr. Brooke observed, Your farmers leave some barley for -the women to glean, I see. The poor folks here might have a fowl in -their pot, as the good French king used to wish for all his people. The -French eat a good many fowlsskinny fowls, you know. - -I think it was a very cheap wish of his, said Dorothea, indignantly. -Are kings such monsters that a wish like that must be reckoned a royal -virtue? - -And if he wished them a skinny fowl, said Celia, that would not be -nice. But perhaps he wished them to have fat fowls. - -Yes, but the word has dropped out of the text, or perhaps was -subauditum; that is, present in the kings mind, but not uttered, said -Mr. Casaubon, smiling and bending his head towards Celia, who -immediately dropped backward a little, because she could not bear Mr. -Casaubon to blink at her. - -Dorothea sank into silence on the way back to the house. She felt some -disappointment, of which she was yet ashamed, that there was nothing -for her to do in Lowick; and in the next few minutes her mind had -glanced over the possibility, which she would have preferred, of -finding that her home would be in a parish which had a larger share of -the worlds misery, so that she might have had more active duties in -it. Then, recurring to the future actually before her, she made a -picture of more complete devotion to Mr. Casaubons aims in which she -would await new duties. Many such might reveal themselves to the higher -knowledge gained by her in that companionship. - -Mr. Tucker soon left them, having some clerical work which would not -allow him to lunch at the Hall; and as they were re-entering the garden -through the little gate, Mr. Casaubon said - -You seem a little sad, Dorothea. I trust you are pleased with what you -have seen. - -I am feeling something which is perhaps foolish and wrong, answered -Dorothea, with her usual opennessalmost wishing that the people -wanted more to be done for them here. I have known so few ways of -making my life good for anything. Of course, my notions of usefulness -must be narrow. I must learn new ways of helping people. - -Doubtless, said Mr. Casaubon. Each position has its corresponding -duties. Yours, I trust, as the mistress of Lowick, will not leave any -yearning unfulfilled. - -Indeed, I believe that, said Dorothea, earnestly. Do not suppose -that I am sad. - -That is well. But, if you are not tired, we will take another way to -the house than that by which we came. - -Dorothea was not at all tired, and a little circuit was made towards a -fine yew-tree, the chief hereditary glory of the grounds on this side -of the house. As they approached it, a figure, conspicuous on a dark -background of evergreens, was seated on a bench, sketching the old -tree. Mr. Brooke, who was walking in front with Celia, turned his head, -and said - -Who is that youngster, Casaubon? - -They had come very near when Mr. Casaubon answered - -That is a young relative of mine, a second cousin: the grandson, in -fact, he added, looking at Dorothea, of the lady whose portrait you -have been noticing, my aunt Julia. - -The young man had laid down his sketch-book and risen. His bushy -light-brown curls, as well as his youthfulness, identified him at once -with Celias apparition. - -Dorothea, let me introduce to you my cousin, Mr. Ladislaw. Will, this -is Miss Brooke. - -The cousin was so close now, that, when he lifted his hat, Dorothea -could see a pair of gray eyes rather near together, a delicate -irregular nose with a little ripple in it, and hair falling backward; -but there was a mouth and chin of a more prominent, threatening aspect -than belonged to the type of the grandmothers miniature. Young -Ladislaw did not feel it necessary to smile, as if he were charmed with -this introduction to his future second cousin and her relatives; but -wore rather a pouting air of discontent. - -You are an artist, I see, said Mr. Brooke, taking up the sketch-book -and turning it over in his unceremonious fashion. - -No, I only sketch a little. There is nothing fit to be seen there, -said young Ladislaw, coloring, perhaps with temper rather than modesty. - -Oh, come, this is a nice bit, now. I did a little in this way myself -at one time, you know. Look here, now; this is what I call a nice -thing, done with what we used to call _brio_. Mr. Brooke held out -towards the two girls a large colored sketch of stony ground and trees, -with a pool. - -I am no judge of these things, said Dorothea, not coldly, but with an -eager deprecation of the appeal to her. You know, uncle, I never see -the beauty of those pictures which you say are so much praised. They -are a language I do not understand. I suppose there is some relation -between pictures and nature which I am too ignorant to feeljust as you -see what a Greek sentence stands for which means nothing to me. -Dorothea looked up at Mr. Casaubon, who bowed his head towards her, -while Mr. Brooke said, smiling nonchalantly - -Bless me, now, how different people are! But you had a bad style of -teaching, you knowelse this is just the thing for girlssketching, -fine art and so on. But you took to drawing plans; you dont understand -_morbidezza_, and that kind of thing. You will come to my house, I -hope, and I will show you what I did in this way, he continued, -turning to young Ladislaw, who had to be recalled from his -preoccupation in observing Dorothea. Ladislaw had made up his mind that -she must be an unpleasant girl, since she was going to marry Casaubon, -and what she said of her stupidity about pictures would have confirmed -that opinion even if he had believed her. As it was, he took her words -for a covert judgment, and was certain that she thought his sketch -detestable. There was too much cleverness in her apology: she was -laughing both at her uncle and himself. But what a voice! It was like -the voice of a soul that had once lived in an Aeolian harp. This must -be one of Natures inconsistencies. There could be no sort of passion -in a girl who would marry Casaubon. But he turned from her, and bowed -his thanks for Mr. Brookes invitation. - -We will turn over my Italian engravings together, continued that -good-natured man. I have no end of those things, that I have laid by -for years. One gets rusty in this part of the country, you know. Not -you, Casaubon; you stick to your studies; but my best ideas get -undermostout of use, you know. You clever young men must guard against -indolence. I was too indolent, you know: else I might have been -anywhere at one time. - -That is a seasonable admonition, said Mr. Casaubon; but now we will -pass on to the house, lest the young ladies should be tired of -standing. - -When their backs were turned, young Ladislaw sat down to go on with his -sketching, and as he did so his face broke into an expression of -amusement which increased as he went on drawing, till at last he threw -back his head and laughed aloud. Partly it was the reception of his own -artistic production that tickled him; partly the notion of his grave -cousin as the lover of that girl; and partly Mr. Brookes definition of -the place he might have held but for the impediment of indolence. Mr. -Will Ladislaws sense of the ludicrous lit up his features very -agreeably: it was the pure enjoyment of comicality, and had no mixture -of sneering and self-exaltation. - -What is your nephew going to do with himself, Casaubon? said Mr. -Brooke, as they went on. - -My cousin, you meannot my nephew. - -Yes, yes, cousin. But in the way of a career, you know. - -The answer to that question is painfully doubtful. On leaving Rugby he -declined to go to an English university, where I would gladly have -placed him, and chose what I must consider the anomalous course of -studying at Heidelberg. And now he wants to go abroad again, without -any special object, save the vague purpose of what he calls culture, -preparation for he knows not what. He declines to choose a profession. - -He has no means but what you furnish, I suppose. - -I have always given him and his friends reason to understand that I -would furnish in moderation what was necessary for providing him with a -scholarly education, and launching him respectably. I am therefore -bound to fulfil the expectation so raised, said Mr. Casaubon, putting -his conduct in the light of mere rectitude: a trait of delicacy which -Dorothea noticed with admiration. - -He has a thirst for travelling; perhaps he may turn out a Bruce or a -Mungo Park, said Mr. Brooke. I had a notion of that myself at one -time. - -No, he has no bent towards exploration, or the enlargement of our -geognosis: that would be a special purpose which I could recognize with -some approbation, though without felicitating him on a career which so -often ends in premature and violent death. But so far is he from having -any desire for a more accurate knowledge of the earths surface, that -he said he should prefer not to know the sources of the Nile, and that -there should be some unknown regions preserved as hunting grounds for -the poetic imagination. - -Well, there is something in that, you know, said Mr. Brooke, who had -certainly an impartial mind. - -It is, I fear, nothing more than a part of his general inaccuracy and -indisposition to thoroughness of all kinds, which would be a bad augury -for him in any profession, civil or sacred, even were he so far -submissive to ordinary rule as to choose one. - -Perhaps he has conscientious scruples founded on his own unfitness, -said Dorothea, who was interesting herself in finding a favorable -explanation. Because the law and medicine should be very serious -professions to undertake, should they not? Peoples lives and fortunes -depend on them. - -Doubtless; but I fear that my young relative Will Ladislaw is chiefly -determined in his aversion to these callings by a dislike to steady -application, and to that kind of acquirement which is needful -instrumentally, but is not charming or immediately inviting to -self-indulgent taste. I have insisted to him on what Aristotle has -stated with admirable brevity, that for the achievement of any work -regarded as an end there must be a prior exercise of many energies or -acquired facilities of a secondary order, demanding patience. I have -pointed to my own manuscript volumes, which represent the toil of years -preparatory to a work not yet accomplished. But in vain. To careful -reasoning of this kind he replies by calling himself Pegasus, and every -form of prescribed work harness. - -Celia laughed. She was surprised to find that Mr. Casaubon could say -something quite amusing. - -Well, you know, he may turn out a Byron, a Chatterton, a -Churchillthat sort of thingtheres no telling, said Mr. Brooke. -Shall you let him go to Italy, or wherever else he wants to go? - -Yes; I have agreed to furnish him with moderate supplies for a year or -so; he asks no more. I shall let him be tried by the test of freedom. - -That is very kind of you, said Dorothea, looking up at Mr. Casaubon -with delight. It is noble. After all, people may really have in them -some vocation which is not quite plain to themselves, may they not? -They may seem idle and weak because they are growing. We should be very -patient with each other, I think. - -I suppose it is being engaged to be married that has made you think -patience good, said Celia, as soon as she and Dorothea were alone -together, taking off their wrappings. - -You mean that I am very impatient, Celia. - -Yes; when people dont do and say just what you like. Celia had -become less afraid of saying things to Dorothea since this -engagement: cleverness seemed to her more pitiable than ever. - - - - -CHAPTER X. - -He had catched a great cold, had he had no other clothes to wear than -the skin of a bear not yet killed.FULLER. - - -Young Ladislaw did not pay that visit to which Mr. Brooke had invited -him, and only six days afterwards Mr. Casaubon mentioned that his young -relative had started for the Continent, seeming by this cold vagueness -to waive inquiry. Indeed, Will had declined to fix on any more precise -destination than the entire area of Europe. Genius, he held, is -necessarily intolerant of fetters: on the one hand it must have the -utmost play for its spontaneity; on the other, it may confidently await -those messages from the universe which summon it to its peculiar work, -only placing itself in an attitude of receptivity towards all sublime -chances. The attitudes of receptivity are various, and Will had -sincerely tried many of them. He was not excessively fond of wine, but -he had several times taken too much, simply as an experiment in that -form of ecstasy; he had fasted till he was faint, and then supped on -lobster; he had made himself ill with doses of opium. Nothing greatly -original had resulted from these measures; and the effects of the opium -had convinced him that there was an entire dissimilarity between his -constitution and De Quinceys. The superadded circumstance which would -evolve the genius had not yet come; the universe had not yet beckoned. -Even Caesars fortune at one time was but a grand presentiment. We know -what a masquerade all development is, and what effective shapes may be -disguised in helpless embryos. In fact, the world is full of hopeful -analogies and handsome dubious eggs called possibilities. Will saw -clearly enough the pitiable instances of long incubation producing no -chick, and but for gratitude would have laughed at Casaubon, whose -plodding application, rows of note-books, and small taper of learned -theory exploring the tossed ruins of the world, seemed to enforce a -moral entirely encouraging to Wills generous reliance on the -intentions of the universe with regard to himself. He held that -reliance to be a mark of genius; and certainly it is no mark to the -contrary; genius consisting neither in self-conceit nor in humility, -but in a power to make or do, not anything in general, but something in -particular. Let him start for the Continent, then, without our -pronouncing on his future. Among all forms of mistake, prophecy is the -most gratuitous. - -But at present this caution against a too hasty judgment interests me -more in relation to Mr. Casaubon than to his young cousin. If to -Dorothea Mr. Casaubon had been the mere occasion which had set alight -the fine inflammable material of her youthful illusions, does it follow -that he was fairly represented in the minds of those less impassioned -personages who have hitherto delivered their judgments concerning him? -I protest against any absolute conclusion, any prejudice derived from -Mrs. Cadwalladers contempt for a neighboring clergymans alleged -greatness of soul, or Sir James Chettams poor opinion of his rivals -legs,from Mr. Brookes failure to elicit a companions ideas, or from -Celias criticism of a middle-aged scholars personal appearance. I am -not sure that the greatest man of his age, if ever that solitary -superlative existed, could escape these unfavorable reflections of -himself in various small mirrors; and even Milton, looking for his -portrait in a spoon, must submit to have the facial angle of a bumpkin. -Moreover, if Mr. Casaubon, speaking for himself, has rather a chilling -rhetoric, it is not therefore certain that there is no good work or -fine feeling in him. Did not an immortal physicist and interpreter of -hieroglyphs write detestable verses? Has the theory of the solar system -been advanced by graceful manners and conversational tact? Suppose we -turn from outside estimates of a man, to wonder, with keener interest, -what is the report of his own consciousness about his doings or -capacity: with what hindrances he is carrying on his daily labors; what -fading of hopes, or what deeper fixity of self-delusion the years are -marking off within him; and with what spirit he wrestles against -universal pressure, which will one day be too heavy for him, and bring -his heart to its final pause. Doubtless his lot is important in his own -eyes; and the chief reason that we think he asks too large a place in -our consideration must be our want of room for him, since we refer him -to the Divine regard with perfect confidence; nay, it is even held -sublime for our neighbor to expect the utmost there, however little he -may have got from us. Mr. Casaubon, too, was the centre of his own -world; if he was liable to think that others were providentially made -for him, and especially to consider them in the light of their fitness -for the author of a Key to all Mythologies, this trait is not quite -alien to us, and, like the other mendicant hopes of mortals, claims -some of our pity. - -Certainly this affair of his marriage with Miss Brooke touched him more -nearly than it did any one of the persons who have hitherto shown their -disapproval of it, and in the present stage of things I feel more -tenderly towards his experience of success than towards the -disappointment of the amiable Sir James. For in truth, as the day fixed -for his marriage came nearer, Mr. Casaubon did not find his spirits -rising; nor did the contemplation of that matrimonial garden scene, -where, as all experience showed, the path was to be bordered with -flowers, prove persistently more enchanting to him than the accustomed -vaults where he walked taper in hand. He did not confess to himself, -still less could he have breathed to another, his surprise that though -he had won a lovely and noble-hearted girl he had not won -delight,which he had also regarded as an object to be found by search. -It is true that he knew all the classical passages implying the -contrary; but knowing classical passages, we find, is a mode of motion, -which explains why they leave so little extra force for their personal -application. - -Poor Mr. Casaubon had imagined that his long studious bachelorhood had -stored up for him a compound interest of enjoyment, and that large -drafts on his affections would not fail to be honored; for we all of -us, grave or light, get our thoughts entangled in metaphors, and act -fatally on the strength of them. And now he was in danger of being -saddened by the very conviction that his circumstances were unusually -happy: there was nothing external by which he could account for a -certain blankness of sensibility which came over him just when his -expectant gladness should have been most lively, just when he exchanged -the accustomed dulness of his Lowick library for his visits to the -Grange. Here was a weary experience in which he was as utterly -condemned to loneliness as in the despair which sometimes threatened -him while toiling in the morass of authorship without seeming nearer to -the goal. And his was that worst loneliness which would shrink from -sympathy. He could not but wish that Dorothea should think him not less -happy than the world would expect her successful suitor to be; and in -relation to his authorship he leaned on her young trust and veneration, -he liked to draw forth her fresh interest in listening, as a means of -encouragement to himself: in talking to her he presented all his -performance and intention with the reflected confidence of the -pedagogue, and rid himself for the time of that chilling ideal audience -which crowded his laborious uncreative hours with the vaporous pressure -of Tartarean shades. - -For to Dorothea, after that toy-box history of the world adapted to -young ladies which had made the chief part of her education, Mr. -Casaubons talk about his great book was full of new vistas; and this -sense of revelation, this surprise of a nearer introduction to Stoics -and Alexandrians, as people who had ideas not totally unlike her own, -kept in abeyance for the time her usual eagerness for a binding theory -which could bring her own life and doctrine into strict connection with -that amazing past, and give the remotest sources of knowledge some -bearing on her actions. That more complete teaching would comeMr. -Casaubon would tell her all that: she was looking forward to higher -initiation in ideas, as she was looking forward to marriage, and -blending her dim conceptions of both. It would be a great mistake to -suppose that Dorothea would have cared about any share in Mr. -Casaubons learning as mere accomplishment; for though opinion in the -neighborhood of Freshitt and Tipton had pronounced her clever, that -epithet would not have described her to circles in whose more precise -vocabulary cleverness implies mere aptitude for knowing and doing, -apart from character. All her eagerness for acquirement lay within that -full current of sympathetic motive in which her ideas and impulses were -habitually swept along. She did not want to deck herself with -knowledgeto wear it loose from the nerves and blood that fed her -action; and if she had written a book she must have done it as Saint -Theresa did, under the command of an authority that constrained her -conscience. But something she yearned for by which her life might be -filled with action at once rational and ardent; and since the time was -gone by for guiding visions and spiritual directors, since prayer -heightened yearning but not instruction, what lamp was there but -knowledge? Surely learned men kept the only oil; and who more learned -than Mr. Casaubon? - -Thus in these brief weeks Dorotheas joyous grateful expectation was -unbroken, and however her lover might occasionally be conscious of -flatness, he could never refer it to any slackening of her affectionate -interest. - -The season was mild enough to encourage the project of extending the -wedding journey as far as Rome, and Mr. Casaubon was anxious for this -because he wished to inspect some manuscripts in the Vatican. - -I still regret that your sister is not to accompany us, he said one -morning, some time after it had been ascertained that Celia objected to -go, and that Dorothea did not wish for her companionship. You will -have many lonely hours, Dorothea, for I shall be constrained to make -the utmost use of my time during our stay in Rome, and I should feel -more at liberty if you had a companion. - -The words I should feel more at liberty grated on Dorothea. For the -first time in speaking to Mr. Casaubon she colored from annoyance. - -You must have misunderstood me very much, she said, if you think I -should not enter into the value of your timeif you think that I should -not willingly give up whatever interfered with your using it to the -best purpose. - -That is very amiable in you, my dear Dorothea, said Mr. Casaubon, not -in the least noticing that she was hurt; but if you had a lady as your -companion, I could put you both under the care of a cicerone, and we -could thus achieve two purposes in the same space of time. - -I beg you will not refer to this again, said Dorothea, rather -haughtily. But immediately she feared that she was wrong, and turning -towards him she laid her hand on his, adding in a different tone, Pray -do not be anxious about me. I shall have so much to think of when I am -alone. And Tantripp will be a sufficient companion, just to take care -of me. I could not bear to have Celia: she would be miserable. - -It was time to dress. There was to be a dinner-party that day, the last -of the parties which were held at the Grange as proper preliminaries to -the wedding, and Dorothea was glad of a reason for moving away at once -on the sound of the bell, as if she needed more than her usual amount -of preparation. She was ashamed of being irritated from some cause she -could not define even to herself; for though she had no intention to be -untruthful, her reply had not touched the real hurt within her. Mr. -Casaubons words had been quite reasonable, yet they had brought a -vague instantaneous sense of aloofness on his part. - -Surely I am in a strangely selfish weak state of mind, she said to -herself. How can I have a husband who is so much above me without -knowing that he needs me less than I need him? - -Having convinced herself that Mr. Casaubon was altogether right, she -recovered her equanimity, and was an agreeable image of serene dignity -when she came into the drawing-room in her silver-gray dressthe simple -lines of her dark-brown hair parted over her brow and coiled massively -behind, in keeping with the entire absence from her manner and -expression of all search after mere effect. Sometimes when Dorothea was -in company, there seemed to be as complete an air of repose about her -as if she had been a picture of Santa Barbara looking out from her -tower into the clear air; but these intervals of quietude made the -energy of her speech and emotion the more remarked when some outward -appeal had touched her. - -She was naturally the subject of many observations this evening, for -the dinner-party was large and rather more miscellaneous as to the male -portion than any which had been held at the Grange since Mr. Brookes -nieces had resided with him, so that the talking was done in duos and -trios more or less inharmonious. There was the newly elected mayor of -Middlemarch, who happened to be a manufacturer; the philanthropic -banker his brother-in-law, who predominated so much in the town that -some called him a Methodist, others a hypocrite, according to the -resources of their vocabulary; and there were various professional men. -In fact, Mrs. Cadwallader said that Brooke was beginning to treat the -Middlemarchers, and that she preferred the farmers at the tithe-dinner, -who drank her health unpretentiously, and were not ashamed of their -grandfathers furniture. For in that part of the country, before reform -had done its notable part in developing the political consciousness, -there was a clearer distinction of ranks and a dimmer distinction of -parties; so that Mr. Brookes miscellaneous invitations seemed to -belong to that general laxity which came from his inordinate travel and -habit of taking too much in the form of ideas. - -Already, as Miss Brooke passed out of the dining-room, opportunity was -found for some interjectional asides. - -A fine woman, Miss Brooke! an uncommonly fine woman, by God! said Mr. -Standish, the old lawyer, who had been so long concerned with the -landed gentry that he had become landed himself, and used that oath in -a deep-mouthed manner as a sort of armorial bearings, stamping the -speech of a man who held a good position. - -Mr. Bulstrode, the banker, seemed to be addressed, but that gentleman -disliked coarseness and profanity, and merely bowed. The remark was -taken up by Mr. Chichely, a middle-aged bachelor and coursing -celebrity, who had a complexion something like an Easter egg, a few -hairs carefully arranged, and a carriage implying the consciousness of -a distinguished appearance. - -Yes, but not my style of woman: I like a woman who lays herself out a -little more to please us. There should be a little filigree about a -womansomething of the coquette. A man likes a sort of challenge. The -more of a dead set she makes at you the better. - -Theres some truth in that, said Mr. Standish, disposed to be genial. -And, by God, its usually the way with them. I suppose it answers some -wise ends: Providence made them so, eh, Bulstrode? - -I should be disposed to refer coquetry to another source, said Mr. -Bulstrode. I should rather refer it to the devil. - -Ay, to be sure, there should be a little devil in a woman, said Mr. -Chichely, whose study of the fair sex seemed to have been detrimental -to his theology. And I like them blond, with a certain gait, and a -swan neck. Between ourselves, the mayors daughter is more to my taste -than Miss Brooke or Miss Celia either. If I were a marrying man I -should choose Miss Vincy before either of them. - -Well, make up, make up, said Mr. Standish, jocosely; you see the -middle-aged fellows carry the day. - -Mr. Chichely shook his head with much meaning: he was not going to -incur the certainty of being accepted by the woman he would choose. - -The Miss Vincy who had the honor of being Mr. Chichelys ideal was of -course not present; for Mr. Brooke, always objecting to go too far, -would not have chosen that his nieces should meet the daughter of a -Middlemarch manufacturer, unless it were on a public occasion. The -feminine part of the company included none whom Lady Chettam or Mrs. -Cadwallader could object to; for Mrs. Renfrew, the colonels widow, was -not only unexceptionable in point of breeding, but also interesting on -the ground of her complaint, which puzzled the doctors, and seemed -clearly a case wherein the fulness of professional knowledge might need -the supplement of quackery. Lady Chettam, who attributed her own -remarkable health to home-made bitters united with constant medical -attendance, entered with much exercise of the imagination into Mrs. -Renfrews account of symptoms, and into the amazing futility in her -case of all strengthening medicines. - -Where can all the strength of those medicines go, my dear? said the -mild but stately dowager, turning to Mrs. Cadwallader reflectively, -when Mrs. Renfrews attention was called away. - -It strengthens the disease, said the Rectors wife, much too -well-born not to be an amateur in medicine. Everything depends on the -constitution: some people make fat, some blood, and some bilethats my -view of the matter; and whatever they take is a sort of grist to the -mill. - -Then she ought to take medicines that would reducereduce the disease, -you know, if you are right, my dear. And I think what you say is -reasonable. - -Certainly it is reasonable. You have two sorts of potatoes, fed on the -same soil. One of them grows more and more watery - -Ah! like this poor Mrs. Renfrewthat is what I think. Dropsy! There is -no swelling yetit is inward. I should say she ought to take drying -medicines, shouldnt you?or a dry hot-air bath. Many things might be -tried, of a drying nature. - -Let her try a certain persons pamphlets, said Mrs. Cadwallader in an -undertone, seeing the gentlemen enter. He does not want drying. - -Who, my dear? said Lady Chettam, a charming woman, not so quick as to -nullify the pleasure of explanation. - -The bridegroomCasaubon. He has certainly been drying up faster since -the engagement: the flame of passion, I suppose. - -I should think he is far from having a good constitution, said Lady -Chettam, with a still deeper undertone. And then his studiesso very -dry, as you say. - -Really, by the side of Sir James, he looks like a deaths head skinned -over for the occasion. Mark my words: in a year from this time that -girl will hate him. She looks up to him as an oracle now, and by-and-by -she will be at the other extreme. All flightiness! - -How very shocking! I fear she is headstrong. But tell meyou know all -about himis there anything very bad? What is the truth? - -The truth? he is as bad as the wrong physicnasty to take, and sure to -disagree. - -There could not be anything worse than that, said Lady Chettam, with -so vivid a conception of the physic that she seemed to have learned -something exact about Mr. Casaubons disadvantages. However, James -will hear nothing against Miss Brooke. He says she is the mirror of -women still. - -That is a generous make-believe of his. Depend upon it, he likes -little Celia better, and she appreciates him. I hope you like my little -Celia? - -Certainly; she is fonder of geraniums, and seems more docile, though -not so fine a figure. But we were talking of physic. Tell me about this -new young surgeon, Mr. Lydgate. I am told he is wonderfully clever: he -certainly looks ita fine brow indeed. - -He is a gentleman. I heard him talking to Humphrey. He talks well. - -Yes. Mr. Brooke says he is one of the Lydgates of Northumberland, -really well connected. One does not expect it in a practitioner of that -kind. For my own part, I like a medical man more on a footing with the -servants; they are often all the cleverer. I assure you I found poor -Hickss judgment unfailing; I never knew him wrong. He was coarse and -butcher-like, but he knew my constitution. It was a loss to me his -going off so suddenly. Dear me, what a very animated conversation Miss -Brooke seems to be having with this Mr. Lydgate! - -She is talking cottages and hospitals with him, said Mrs. -Cadwallader, whose ears and power of interpretation were quick. I -believe he is a sort of philanthropist, so Brooke is sure to take him -up. - -James, said Lady Chettam when her son came near, bring Mr. Lydgate -and introduce him to me. I want to test him. - -The affable dowager declared herself delighted with this opportunity of -making Mr. Lydgates acquaintance, having heard of his success in -treating fever on a new plan. - -Mr. Lydgate had the medical accomplishment of looking perfectly grave -whatever nonsense was talked to him, and his dark steady eyes gave him -impressiveness as a listener. He was as little as possible like the -lamented Hicks, especially in a certain careless refinement about his -toilet and utterance. Yet Lady Chettam gathered much confidence in him. -He confirmed her view of her own constitution as being peculiar, by -admitting that all constitutions might be called peculiar, and he did -not deny that hers might be more peculiar than others. He did not -approve of a too lowering system, including reckless cupping, nor, on -the other hand, of incessant port wine and bark. He said I think so -with an air of so much deference accompanying the insight of agreement, -that she formed the most cordial opinion of his talents. - -I am quite pleased with your protege, she said to Mr. Brooke before -going away. - -My protege?dear me!who is that? said Mr. Brooke. - -This young Lydgate, the new doctor. He seems to me to understand his -profession admirably. - -Oh, Lydgate! he is not my protege, you know; only I knew an uncle of -his who sent me a letter about him. However, I think he is likely to be -first-ratehas studied in Paris, knew Broussais; has ideas, you -knowwants to raise the profession. - -Lydgate has lots of ideas, quite new, about ventilation and diet, that -sort of thing, resumed Mr. Brooke, after he had handed out Lady -Chettam, and had returned to be civil to a group of Middlemarchers. - -Hang it, do you think that is quite sound?upsetting the old -treatment, which has made Englishmen what they are? said Mr. Standish. - -Medical knowledge is at a low ebb among us, said Mr. Bulstrode, who -spoke in a subdued tone, and had rather a sickly air. I, for my part, -hail the advent of Mr. Lydgate. I hope to find good reason for -confiding the new hospital to his management. - -That is all very fine, replied Mr. Standish, who was not fond of Mr. -Bulstrode; if you like him to try experiments on your hospital -patients, and kill a few people for charity I have no objection. But I -am not going to hand money out of my purse to have experiments tried on -me. I like treatment that has been tested a little. - -Well, you know, Standish, every dose you take is an experiment-an -experiment, you know, said Mr. Brooke, nodding towards the lawyer. - -Oh, if you talk in that sense! said Mr. Standish, with as much -disgust at such non-legal quibbling as a man can well betray towards a -valuable client. - -I should be glad of any treatment that would cure me without reducing -me to a skeleton, like poor Grainger, said Mr. Vincy, the mayor, a -florid man, who would have served for a study of flesh in striking -contrast with the Franciscan tints of Mr. Bulstrode. Its an -uncommonly dangerous thing to be left without any padding against the -shafts of disease, as somebody said,and I think it a very good -expression myself. - -Mr. Lydgate, of course, was out of hearing. He had quitted the party -early, and would have thought it altogether tedious but for the novelty -of certain introductions, especially the introduction to Miss Brooke, -whose youthful bloom, with her approaching marriage to that faded -scholar, and her interest in matters socially useful, gave her the -piquancy of an unusual combination. - -She is a good creaturethat fine girlbut a little too earnest, he -thought. It is troublesome to talk to such women. They are always -wanting reasons, yet they are too ignorant to understand the merits of -any question, and usually fall back on their moral sense to settle -things after their own taste. - -Evidently Miss Brooke was not Mr. Lydgates style of woman any more -than Mr. Chichelys. Considered, indeed, in relation to the latter, -whose mind was matured, she was altogether a mistake, and calculated to -shock his trust in final causes, including the adaptation of fine young -women to purplefaced bachelors. But Lydgate was less ripe, and might -possibly have experience before him which would modify his opinion as -to the most excellent things in woman. - -Miss Brooke, however, was not again seen by either of these gentlemen -under her maiden name. Not long after that dinner-party she had become -Mrs. Casaubon, and was on her way to Rome. - - - - -CHAPTER XI. - -But deeds and language such as men do use, -And persons such as comedy would choose, -When she would show an image of the times, -And sport with human follies, not with crimes. -BEN JONSON. - - -Lydgate, in fact, was already conscious of being fascinated by a woman -strikingly different from Miss Brooke: he did not in the least suppose -that he had lost his balance and fallen in love, but he had said of -that particular woman, She is grace itself; she is perfectly lovely -and accomplished. That is what a woman ought to be: she ought to -produce the effect of exquisite music. Plain women he regarded as he -did the other severe facts of life, to be faced with philosophy and -investigated by science. But Rosamond Vincy seemed to have the true -melodic charm; and when a man has seen the woman whom he would have -chosen if he had intended to marry speedily, his remaining a bachelor -will usually depend on her resolution rather than on his. Lydgate -believed that he should not marry for several years: not marry until he -had trodden out a good clear path for himself away from the broad road -which was quite ready made. He had seen Miss Vincy above his horizon -almost as long as it had taken Mr. Casaubon to become engaged and -married: but this learned gentleman was possessed of a fortune; he had -assembled his voluminous notes, and had made that sort of reputation -which precedes performance,often the larger part of a mans fame. He -took a wife, as we have seen, to adorn the remaining quadrant of his -course, and be a little moon that would cause hardly a calculable -perturbation. But Lydgate was young, poor, ambitious. He had his -half-century before him instead of behind him, and he had come to -Middlemarch bent on doing many things that were not directly fitted to -make his fortune or even secure him a good income. To a man under such -circumstances, taking a wife is something more than a question of -adornment, however highly he may rate this; and Lydgate was disposed to -give it the first place among wifely functions. To his taste, guided by -a single conversation, here was the point on which Miss Brooke would be -found wanting, notwithstanding her undeniable beauty. She did not look -at things from the proper feminine angle. The society of such women was -about as relaxing as going from your work to teach the second form, -instead of reclining in a paradise with sweet laughs for bird-notes, -and blue eyes for a heaven. - -Certainly nothing at present could seem much less important to Lydgate -than the turn of Miss Brookes mind, or to Miss Brooke than the -qualities of the woman who had attracted this young surgeon. But any -one watching keenly the stealthy convergence of human lots, sees a slow -preparation of effects from one life on another, which tells like a -calculated irony on the indifference or the frozen stare with which we -look at our unintroduced neighbor. Destiny stands by sarcastic with our -dramatis personae folded in her hand. - -Old provincial society had its share of this subtle movement: had not -only its striking downfalls, its brilliant young professional dandies -who ended by living up an entry with a drab and six children for their -establishment, but also those less marked vicissitudes which are -constantly shifting the boundaries of social intercourse, and begetting -new consciousness of interdependence. Some slipped a little downward, -some got higher footing: people denied aspirates, gained wealth, and -fastidious gentlemen stood for boroughs; some were caught in political -currents, some in ecclesiastical, and perhaps found themselves -surprisingly grouped in consequence; while a few personages or families -that stood with rocky firmness amid all this fluctuation, were slowly -presenting new aspects in spite of solidity, and altering with the -double change of self and beholder. Municipal town and rural parish -gradually made fresh threads of connectiongradually, as the old -stocking gave way to the savings-bank, and the worship of the solar -guinea became extinct; while squires and baronets, and even lords who -had once lived blamelessly afar from the civic mind, gathered the -faultiness of closer acquaintanceship. Settlers, too, came from distant -counties, some with an alarming novelty of skill, others with an -offensive advantage in cunning. In fact, much the same sort of movement -and mixture went on in old England as we find in older Herodotus, who -also, in telling what had been, thought it well to take a womans lot -for his starting-point; though Io, as a maiden apparently beguiled by -attractive merchandise, was the reverse of Miss Brooke, and in this -respect perhaps bore more resemblance to Rosamond Vincy, who had -excellent taste in costume, with that nymph-like figure and pure -blondness which give the largest range to choice in the flow and color -of drapery. But these things made only part of her charm. She was -admitted to be the flower of Mrs. Lemons school, the chief school in -the county, where the teaching included all that was demanded in the -accomplished femaleeven to extras, such as the getting in and out of a -carriage. Mrs. Lemon herself had always held up Miss Vincy as an -example: no pupil, she said, exceeded that young lady for mental -acquisition and propriety of speech, while her musical execution was -quite exceptional. We cannot help the way in which people speak of us, -and probably if Mrs. Lemon had undertaken to describe Juliet or Imogen, -these heroines would not have seemed poetical. The first vision of -Rosamond would have been enough with most judges to dispel any -prejudice excited by Mrs. Lemons praise. - -Lydgate could not be long in Middlemarch without having that agreeable -vision, or even without making the acquaintance of the Vincy family; -for though Mr. Peacock, whose practice he had paid something to enter -on, had not been their doctor (Mrs. Vincy not liking the lowering -system adopted by him), he had many patients among their connections -and acquaintances. For who of any consequence in Middlemarch was not -connected or at least acquainted with the Vincys? They were old -manufacturers, and had kept a good house for three generations, in -which there had naturally been much intermarrying with neighbors more -or less decidedly genteel. Mr. Vincys sister had made a wealthy match -in accepting Mr. Bulstrode, who, however, as a man not born in the -town, and altogether of dimly known origin, was considered to have done -well in uniting himself with a real Middlemarch family; on the other -hand, Mr. Vincy had descended a little, having taken an innkeepers -daughter. But on this side too there was a cheering sense of money; for -Mrs. Vincys sister had been second wife to rich old Mr. Featherstone, -and had died childless years ago, so that her nephews and nieces might -be supposed to touch the affections of the widower. And it happened -that Mr. Bulstrode and Mr. Featherstone, two of Peacocks most -important patients, had, from different causes, given an especially -good reception to his successor, who had raised some partisanship as -well as discussion. Mr. Wrench, medical attendant to the Vincy family, -very early had grounds for thinking lightly of Lydgates professional -discretion, and there was no report about him which was not retailed at -the Vincys, where visitors were frequent. Mr. Vincy was more inclined -to general good-fellowship than to taking sides, but there was no need -for him to be hasty in making any new man acquaintance. Rosamond -silently wished that her father would invite Mr. Lydgate. She was tired -of the faces and figures she had always been used tothe various -irregular profiles and gaits and turns of phrase distinguishing those -Middlemarch young men whom she had known as boys. She had been at -school with girls of higher position, whose brothers, she felt sure, it -would have been possible for her to be more interested in, than in -these inevitable Middlemarch companions. But she would not have chosen -to mention her wish to her father; and he, for his part, was in no -hurry on the subject. An alderman about to be mayor must by-and-by -enlarge his dinner-parties, but at present there were plenty of guests -at his well-spread table. - -That table often remained covered with the relics of the family -breakfast long after Mr. Vincy had gone with his second son to the -warehouse, and when Miss Morgan was already far on in morning lessons -with the younger girls in the schoolroom. It awaited the family -laggard, who found any sort of inconvenience (to others) less -disagreeable than getting up when he was called. This was the case one -morning of the October in which we have lately seen Mr. Casaubon -visiting the Grange; and though the room was a little overheated with -the fire, which had sent the spaniel panting to a remote corner, -Rosamond, for some reason, continued to sit at her embroidery longer -than usual, now and then giving herself a little shake, and laying her -work on her knee to contemplate it with an air of hesitating weariness. -Her mamma, who had returned from an excursion to the kitchen, sat on -the other side of the small work-table with an air of more entire -placidity, until, the clock again giving notice that it was going to -strike, she looked up from the lace-mending which was occupying her -plump fingers and rang the bell. - -Knock at Mr. Freds door again, Pritchard, and tell him it has struck -half-past ten. - -This was said without any change in the radiant good-humor of Mrs. -Vincys face, in which forty-five years had delved neither angles nor -parallels; and pushing back her pink capstrings, she let her work rest -on her lap, while she looked admiringly at her daughter. - -Mamma, said Rosamond, when Fred comes down I wish you would not let -him have red herrings. I cannot bear the smell of them all over the -house at this hour of the morning. - -Oh, my dear, you are so hard on your brothers! It is the only fault I -have to find with you. You are the sweetest temper in the world, but -you are so tetchy with your brothers. - -Not tetchy, mamma: you never hear me speak in an unladylike way. - -Well, but you want to deny them things. - -Brothers are so unpleasant. - -Oh, my dear, you must allow for young men. Be thankful if they have -good hearts. A woman must learn to put up with little things. You will -be married some day. - -Not to any one who is like Fred. - -Dont decry your own brother, my dear. Few young men have less against -them, although he couldnt take his degreeIm sure I cant understand -why, for he seems to me most clever. And you know yourself he was -thought equal to the best society at college. So particular as you are, -my dear, I wonder you are not glad to have such a gentlemanly young man -for a brother. You are always finding fault with Bob because he is not -Fred. - -Oh no, mamma, only because he is Bob. - -Well, my dear, you will not find any Middlemarch young man who has not -something against him. - -Buthere Rosamonds face broke into a smile which suddenly revealed -two dimples. She herself thought unfavorably of these dimples and -smiled little in general society. But I shall not marry any -Middlemarch young man. - -So it seems, my love, for you have as good as refused the pick of -them; and if theres better to be had, Im sure theres no girl better -deserves it. - -Excuse me, mammaI wish you would not say, the pick of them. - -Why, what else are they? +or, THE WHALE. -I mean, mamma, it is rather a vulgar expression. +By Herman Melville -Very likely, my dear; I never was a good speaker. What should I say? -The best of them. -Why, that seems just as plain and common. If I had had time to think, -I should have said, the most superior young men. But with your -education you must know. +CONTENTS -What must Rosy know, mother? said Mr. Fred, who had slid in -unobserved through the half-open door while the ladies were bending -over their work, and now going up to the fire stood with his back -towards it, warming the soles of his slippers. +ETYMOLOGY. -Whether its right to say superior young men, said Mrs. Vincy, -ringing the bell. +EXTRACTS (Supplied by a Sub-Sub-Librarian). -Oh, there are so many superior teas and sugars now. Superior is -getting to be shopkeepers slang. +CHAPTER 1. Loomings. -Are you beginning to dislike slang, then? said Rosamond, with mild -gravity. +CHAPTER 2. The Carpet-Bag. -Only the wrong sort. All choice of words is slang. It marks a class. +CHAPTER 3. The Spouter-Inn. -There is correct English: that is not slang. +CHAPTER 4. The Counterpane. -I beg your pardon: correct English is the slang of prigs who write -history and essays. And the strongest slang of all is the slang of -poets. +CHAPTER 5. Breakfast. -You will say anything, Fred, to gain your point. +CHAPTER 6. The Street. -Well, tell me whether it is slang or poetry to call an ox a -_leg-plaiter_. +CHAPTER 7. The Chapel. -Of course you can call it poetry if you like. +CHAPTER 8. The Pulpit. -Aha, Miss Rosy, you dont know Homer from slang. I shall invent a new -game; I shall write bits of slang and poetry on slips, and give them to -you to separate. +CHAPTER 9. The Sermon. -Dear me, how amusing it is to hear young people talk! said Mrs. -Vincy, with cheerful admiration. +CHAPTER 10. A Bosom Friend. -Have you got nothing else for my breakfast, Pritchard? said Fred, to -the servant who brought in coffee and buttered toast; while he walked -round the table surveying the ham, potted beef, and other cold -remnants, with an air of silent rejection, and polite forbearance from -signs of disgust. +CHAPTER 11. Nightgown. -Should you like eggs, sir? +CHAPTER 12. Biographical. -Eggs, no! Bring me a grilled bone. +CHAPTER 13. Wheelbarrow. -Really, Fred, said Rosamond, when the servant had left the room, if -you must have hot things for breakfast, I wish you would come down -earlier. You can get up at six oclock to go out hunting; I cannot -understand why you find it so difficult to get up on other mornings. +CHAPTER 14. Nantucket. -That is your want of understanding, Rosy. I can get up to go hunting -because I like it. +CHAPTER 15. Chowder. -What would you think of me if I came down two hours after every one -else and ordered grilled bone? +CHAPTER 16. The Ship. -I should think you were an uncommonly fast young lady, said Fred, -eating his toast with the utmost composure. +CHAPTER 17. The Ramadan. -I cannot see why brothers are to make themselves disagreeable, any -more than sisters. +CHAPTER 18. His Mark. -I dont make myself disagreeable; it is you who find me so. -Disagreeable is a word that describes your feelings and not my -actions. +CHAPTER 19. The Prophet. -I think it describes the smell of grilled bone. +CHAPTER 20. All Astir. -Not at all. It describes a sensation in your little nose associated -with certain finicking notions which are the classics of Mrs. Lemons -school. Look at my mother; you dont see her objecting to everything -except what she does herself. She is my notion of a pleasant woman. +CHAPTER 21. Going Aboard. -Bless you both, my dears, and dont quarrel, said Mrs. Vincy, with -motherly cordiality. Come, Fred, tell us all about the new doctor. How -is your uncle pleased with him? +CHAPTER 22. Merry Christmas. -Pretty well, I think. He asks Lydgate all sorts of questions and then -screws up his face while he hears the answers, as if they were pinching -his toes. Thats his way. Ah, here comes my grilled bone. +CHAPTER 23. The Lee Shore. -But how came you to stay out so late, my dear? You only said you were -going to your uncles. +CHAPTER 24. The Advocate. -Oh, I dined at Plymdales. We had whist. Lydgate was there too. +CHAPTER 25. Postscript. -And what do you think of him? He is very gentlemanly, I suppose. They -say he is of excellent familyhis relations quite county people. +CHAPTER 26. Knights and Squires. -Yes, said Fred. There was a Lydgate at Johns who spent no end of -money. I find this man is a second cousin of his. But rich men may have -very poor devils for second cousins. +CHAPTER 27. Knights and Squires. -It always makes a difference, though, to be of good family, said -Rosamond, with a tone of decision which showed that she had thought on -this subject. Rosamond felt that she might have been happier if she had -not been the daughter of a Middlemarch manufacturer. She disliked -anything which reminded her that her mothers father had been an -innkeeper. Certainly any one remembering the fact might think that Mrs. -Vincy had the air of a very handsome good-humored landlady, accustomed -to the most capricious orders of gentlemen. +CHAPTER 28. Ahab. -I thought it was odd his name was Tertius, said the bright-faced -matron, but of course its a name in the family. But now, tell us -exactly what sort of man he is. +CHAPTER 29. Enter Ahab; to Him, Stubb. -Oh, tallish, dark, clevertalks wellrather a prig, I think. +CHAPTER 30. The Pipe. -I never can make out what you mean by a prig, said Rosamond. +CHAPTER 31. Queen Mab. -A fellow who wants to show that he has opinions. +CHAPTER 32. Cetology. -Why, my dear, doctors must have opinions, said Mrs. Vincy. What are -they there for else? +CHAPTER 33. The Specksnyder. -Yes, mother, the opinions they are paid for. But a prig is a fellow -who is always making you a present of his opinions. +CHAPTER 34. The Cabin-Table. -I suppose Mary Garth admires Mr. Lydgate, said Rosamond, not without -a touch of innuendo. +CHAPTER 35. The Mast-Head. -Really, I cant say. said Fred, rather glumly, as he left the table, -and taking up a novel which he had brought down with him, threw himself -into an arm-chair. If you are jealous of her, go oftener to Stone -Court yourself and eclipse her. +CHAPTER 36. The Quarter-Deck. -I wish you would not be so vulgar, Fred. If you have finished, pray -ring the bell. +CHAPTER 37. Sunset. -It is true, thoughwhat your brother says, Rosamond, Mrs. Vincy -began, when the servant had cleared the table. It is a thousand pities -you havent patience to go and see your uncle more, so proud of you as -he is, and wanted you to live with him. Theres no knowing what he -might have done for you as well as for Fred. God knows, Im fond of -having you at home with me, but I can part with my children for their -good. And now it stands to reason that your uncle Featherstone will do -something for Mary Garth. +CHAPTER 38. Dusk. -Mary Garth can bear being at Stone Court, because she likes that -better than being a governess, said Rosamond, folding up her work. I -would rather not have anything left to me if I must earn it by enduring -much of my uncles cough and his ugly relations. +CHAPTER 39. First Night-Watch. -He cant be long for this world, my dear; I wouldnt hasten his end, -but what with asthma and that inward complaint, let us hope there is -something better for him in another. And I have no ill-will towards -Mary Garth, but theres justice to be thought of. And Mr. -Featherstones first wife brought him no money, as my sister did. Her -nieces and nephews cant have so much claim as my sisters. And I must -say I think Mary Garth a dreadful plain girlmore fit for a governess. +CHAPTER 40. Midnight, Forecastle. -Every one would not agree with you there, mother, said Fred, who -seemed to be able to read and listen too. +CHAPTER 41. Moby Dick. -Well, my dear, said Mrs. Vincy, wheeling skilfully, if she _had_ -some fortune left her,a man marries his wifes relations, and the -Garths are so poor, and live in such a small way. But I shall leave you -to your studies, my dear; for I must go and do some shopping. +CHAPTER 42. The Whiteness of the Whale. -Freds studies are not very deep, said Rosamond, rising with her -mamma, he is only reading a novel. +CHAPTER 43. Hark! -Well, well, by-and-by hell go to his Latin and things, said Mrs. -Vincy, soothingly, stroking her sons head. Theres a fire in the -smoking-room on purpose. Its your fathers wish, you knowFred, my -dearand I always tell him you will be good, and go to college again to -take your degree. +CHAPTER 44. The Chart. -Fred drew his mothers hand down to his lips, but said nothing. +CHAPTER 45. The Affidavit. -I suppose you are not going out riding to-day? said Rosamond, -lingering a little after her mamma was gone. +CHAPTER 46. Surmises. -No; why? +CHAPTER 47. The Mat-Maker. -Papa says I may have the chestnut to ride now. +CHAPTER 48. The First Lowering. -You can go with me to-morrow, if you like. Only I am going to Stone -Court, remember. +CHAPTER 49. The Hyena. -I want to ride so much, it is indifferent to me where we go. Rosamond -really wished to go to Stone Court, of all other places. +CHAPTER 50. Ahabs Boat and Crew. Fedallah. -Oh, I say, Rosy, said Fred, as she was passing out of the room, if -you are going to the piano, let me come and play some airs with you. +CHAPTER 51. The Spirit-Spout. -Pray do not ask me this morning. - -Why not this morning? - -Really, Fred, I wish you would leave off playing the flute. A man -looks very silly playing the flute. And you play so out of tune. - -When next any one makes love to you, Miss Rosamond, I will tell him -how obliging you are. - -Why should you expect me to oblige you by hearing you play the flute, -any more than I should expect you to oblige me by not playing it? - -And why should you expect me to take you out riding? +CHAPTER 52. The Albatross. -This question led to an adjustment, for Rosamond had set her mind on -that particular ride. - -So Fred was gratified with nearly an hours practice of Ar hyd y nos, -Ye banks and braes, and other favorite airs from his Instructor on -the Flute; a wheezy performance, into which he threw much ambition and -an irrepressible hopefulness. - - - - -CHAPTER XII. - -He had more tow on his distaffe -Than Gerveis knew. -CHAUCER. - - -The ride to Stone Court, which Fred and Rosamond took the next morning, -lay through a pretty bit of midland landscape, almost all meadows and -pastures, with hedgerows still allowed to grow in bushy beauty and to -spread out coral fruit for the birds. Little details gave each field a -particular physiognomy, dear to the eyes that have looked on them from -childhood: the pool in the corner where the grasses were dank and trees -leaned whisperingly; the great oak shadowing a bare place in -mid-pasture; the high bank where the ash-trees grew; the sudden slope -of the old marl-pit making a red background for the burdock; the -huddled roofs and ricks of the homestead without a traceable way of -approach; the gray gate and fences against the depths of the bordering -wood; and the stray hovel, its old, old thatch full of mossy hills and -valleys with wondrous modulations of light and shadow such as we travel -far to see in later life, and see larger, but not more beautiful. These -are the things that make the gamut of joy in landscape to midland-bred -soulsthe things they toddled among, or perhaps learned by heart -standing between their fathers knees while he drove leisurely. - -But the road, even the byroad, was excellent; for Lowick, as we have -seen, was not a parish of muddy lanes and poor tenants; and it was into -Lowick parish that Fred and Rosamond entered after a couple of miles -riding. Another mile would bring them to Stone Court, and at the end of -the first half, the house was already visible, looking as if it had -been arrested in its growth toward a stone mansion by an unexpected -budding of farm-buildings on its left flank, which had hindered it from -becoming anything more than the substantial dwelling of a gentleman -farmer. It was not the less agreeable an object in the distance for the -cluster of pinnacled corn-ricks which balanced the fine row of walnuts -on the right. - -Presently it was possible to discern something that might be a gig on -the circular drive before the front door. - -Dear me, said Rosamond, I hope none of my uncles horrible relations -are there. - -They are, though. That is Mrs. Waules gigthe last yellow gig left, I -should think. When I see Mrs. Waule in it, I understand how yellow can -have been worn for mourning. That gig seems to me more funereal than a -hearse. But then Mrs. Waule always has black crape on. How does she -manage it, Rosy? Her friends cant always be dying. - -I dont know at all. And she is not in the least evangelical, said -Rosamond, reflectively, as if that religious point of view would have -fully accounted for perpetual crape. And, not poor, she added, after -a moments pause. - -No, by George! They are as rich as Jews, those Waules and -Featherstones; I mean, for people like them, who dont want to spend -anything. And yet they hang about my uncle like vultures, and are -afraid of a farthing going away from their side of the family. But I -believe he hates them all. - -The Mrs. Waule who was so far from being admirable in the eyes of these -distant connections, had happened to say this very morning (not at all -with a defiant air, but in a low, muffled, neutral tone, as of a voice -heard through cotton wool) that she did not wish to enjoy their good -opinion. She was seated, as she observed, on her own brothers hearth, -and had been Jane Featherstone five-and-twenty years before she had -been Jane Waule, which entitled her to speak when her own brothers -name had been made free with by those who had no right to it. - -What are you driving at there? said Mr. Featherstone, holding his -stick between his knees and settling his wig, while he gave her a -momentary sharp glance, which seemed to react on him like a draught of -cold air and set him coughing. - -Mrs. Waule had to defer her answer till he was quiet again, till Mary -Garth had supplied him with fresh syrup, and he had begun to rub the -gold knob of his stick, looking bitterly at the fire. It was a bright -fire, but it made no difference to the chill-looking purplish tint of -Mrs. Waules face, which was as neutral as her voice; having mere -chinks for eyes, and lips that hardly moved in speaking. - -The doctors cant master that cough, brother. Its just like what I -have; for Im your own sister, constitution and everything. But, as I -was saying, its a pity Mrs. Vincys family cant be better conducted. - -Tchah! you said nothing o the sort. You said somebody had made free -with my name. - -And no more than can be proved, if what everybody says is true. My -brother Solomon tells me its the talk up and down in Middlemarch how -unsteady young Vincy is, and has been forever gambling at billiards -since home he came. - -Nonsense! Whats a game at billiards? Its a good gentlemanly game; -and young Vincy is not a clodhopper. If your son John took to -billiards, now, hed make a fool of himself. - -Your nephew John never took to billiards or any other game, brother, -and is far from losing hundreds of pounds, which, if what everybody -says is true, must be found somewhere else than out of Mr. Vincy the -fathers pocket. For they say hes been losing money for years, though -nobody would think so, to see him go coursing and keeping open house as -they do. And Ive heard say Mr. Bulstrode condemns Mrs. Vincy beyond -anything for her flightiness, and spoiling her children so. - -Whats Bulstrode to me? I dont bank with him. - -Well, Mrs. Bulstrode is Mr. Vincys own sister, and they do say that -Mr. Vincy mostly trades on the Bank money; and you may see yourself, -brother, when a woman past forty has pink strings always flying, and -that light way of laughing at everything, its very unbecoming. But -indulging your children is one thing, and finding money to pay their -debts is another. And its openly said that young Vincy has raised -money on his expectations. I dont say what expectations. Miss Garth -hears me, and is welcome to tell again. I know young people hang -together. - -No, thank you, Mrs. Waule, said Mary Garth. I dislike hearing -scandal too much to wish to repeat it. - -Mr. Featherstone rubbed the knob of his stick and made a brief -convulsive show of laughter, which had much the same genuineness as an -old whist-players chuckle over a bad hand. Still looking at the fire, -he said - -And who pretends to say Fred Vincy hasnt got expectations? Such a -fine, spirited fellow is like enough to have em. - -There was a slight pause before Mrs. Waule replied, and when she did -so, her voice seemed to be slightly moistened with tears, though her -face was still dry. - -Whether or no, brother, it is naturally painful to me and my brother -Solomon to hear your name made free with, and your complaint being such -as may carry you off sudden, and people who are no more Featherstones -than the Merry-Andrew at the fair, openly reckoning on your property -coming to _them_. And me your own sister, and Solomon your own brother! -And if thats to be it, what has it pleased the Almighty to make -families for? Here Mrs. Waules tears fell, but with moderation. - -Come, out with it, Jane! said Mr. Featherstone, looking at her. You -mean to say, Fred Vincy has been getting somebody to advance him money -on what he says he knows about my will, eh? - -I never said so, brother (Mrs. Waules voice had again become dry and -unshaken). It was told me by my brother Solomon last night when he -called coming from market to give me advice about the old wheat, me -being a widow, and my son John only three-and-twenty, though steady -beyond anything. And he had it from most undeniable authority, and not -one, but many. - -Stuff and nonsense! I dont believe a word of it. Its all a got-up -story. Go to the window, missy; I thought I heard a horse. See if the -doctors coming. - -Not got up by me, brother, nor yet by Solomon, who, whatever else he -may beand I dont deny he has odditieshas made his will and parted -his property equal between such kin as hes friends with; though, for -my part, I think there are times when some should be considered more -than others. But Solomon makes it no secret what he means to do. - -The more fool he! said Mr. Featherstone, with some difficulty; -breaking into a severe fit of coughing that required Mary Garth to -stand near him, so that she did not find out whose horses they were -which presently paused stamping on the gravel before the door. - -Before Mr. Featherstones cough was quiet, Rosamond entered, bearing up -her riding-habit with much grace. She bowed ceremoniously to Mrs. -Waule, who said stiffly, How do you do, miss? smiled and nodded -silently to Mary, and remained standing till the coughing should cease, -and allow her uncle to notice her. - -Heyday, miss! he said at last, you have a fine color. Wheres Fred? - -Seeing about the horses. He will be in presently. - -Sit down, sit down. Mrs. Waule, youd better go. - -Even those neighbors who had called Peter Featherstone an old fox, had -never accused him of being insincerely polite, and his sister was quite -used to the peculiar absence of ceremony with which he marked his sense -of blood-relationship. Indeed, she herself was accustomed to think that -entire freedom from the necessity of behaving agreeably was included in -the Almightys intentions about families. She rose slowly without any -sign of resentment, and said in her usual muffled monotone, Brother, I -hope the new doctor will be able to do something for you. Solomon says -theres great talk of his cleverness. Im sure its my wish you should -be spared. And theres none more ready to nurse you than your own -sister and your own nieces, if youd only say the word. Theres -Rebecca, and Joanna, and Elizabeth, you know. - -Ay, ay, I rememberyoull see Ive remembered em allall dark and -ugly. Theyd need have some money, eh? There never was any beauty in -the women of our family; but the Featherstones have always had some -money, and the Waules too. Waule had money too. A warm man was Waule. -Ay, ay; moneys a good egg; and if youve got money to leave behind -you, lay it in a warm nest. Good-by, Mrs. Waule. Here Mr. Featherstone -pulled at both sides of his wig as if he wanted to deafen himself, and -his sister went away ruminating on this oracular speech of his. -Notwithstanding her jealousy of the Vincys and of Mary Garth, there -remained as the nethermost sediment in her mental shallows a persuasion -that her brother Peter Featherstone could never leave his chief -property away from his blood-relations:else, why had the Almighty -carried off his two wives both childless, after he had gained so much -by manganese and things, turning up when nobody expected it?and why -was there a Lowick parish church, and the Waules and Powderells all -sitting in the same pew for generations, and the Featherstone pew next -to them, if, the Sunday after her brother Peters death, everybody was -to know that the property was gone out of the family? The human mind -has at no period accepted a moral chaos; and so preposterous a result -was not strictly conceivable. But we are frightened at much that is not -strictly conceivable. - -When Fred came in the old man eyed him with a peculiar twinkle, which -the younger had often had reason to interpret as pride in the -satisfactory details of his appearance. - -You two misses go away, said Mr. Featherstone. I want to speak to -Fred. - -Come into my room, Rosamond, you will not mind the cold for a little -while, said Mary. The two girls had not only known each other in -childhood, but had been at the same provincial school together (Mary as -an articled pupil), so that they had many memories in common, and liked -very well to talk in private. Indeed, this _tte--tte_ was one of -Rosamonds objects in coming to Stone Court. - -Old Featherstone would not begin the dialogue till the door had been -closed. He continued to look at Fred with the same twinkle and with one -of his habitual grimaces, alternately screwing and widening his mouth; -and when he spoke, it was in a low tone, which might be taken for that -of an informer ready to be bought off, rather than for the tone of an -offended senior. He was not a man to feel any strong moral indignation -even on account of trespasses against himself. It was natural that -others should want to get an advantage over him, but then, he was a -little too cunning for them. - -So, sir, youve been paying ten per cent for money which youve -promised to pay off by mortgaging my land when Im dead and gone, eh? -You put my life at a twelvemonth, say. But I can alter my will yet. - -Fred blushed. He had not borrowed money in that way, for excellent -reasons. But he was conscious of having spoken with some confidence -(perhaps with more than he exactly remembered) about his prospect of -getting Featherstones land as a future means of paying present debts. - -I dont know what you refer to, sir. I have certainly never borrowed -any money on such an insecurity. Please do explain. - -No, sir, its you must explain. I can alter my will yet, let me tell -you. Im of sound mindcan reckon compound interest in my head, and -remember every fools name as well as I could twenty years ago. What -the deuce? Im under eighty. I say, you must contradict this story. - -I have contradicted it, sir, Fred answered, with a touch of -impatience, not remembering that his uncle did not verbally -discriminate contradicting from disproving, though no one was further -from confounding the two ideas than old Featherstone, who often -wondered that so many fools took his own assertions for proofs. But I -contradict it again. The story is a silly lie. - -Nonsense! you must bring dockiments. It comes from authority. - -Name the authority, and make him name the man of whom I borrowed the -money, and then I can disprove the story. - -Its pretty good authority, I thinka man who knows most of what goes -on in Middlemarch. Its that fine, religious, charitable uncle o -yours. Come now! Here Mr. Featherstone had his peculiar inward shake -which signified merriment. - -Mr. Bulstrode? - -Who else, eh? - -Then the story has grown into this lie out of some sermonizing words -he may have let fall about me. Do they pretend that he named the man -who lent me the money? - -If there is such a man, depend upon it Bulstrode knows him. But, -supposing you only tried to get the money lent, and didnt get -itBulstrode ud know that too. You bring me a writing from Bulstrode -to say he doesnt believe youve ever promised to pay your debts out o -my land. Come now! - -Mr. Featherstones face required its whole scale of grimaces as a -muscular outlet to his silent triumph in the soundness of his -faculties. - -Fred felt himself to be in a disgusting dilemma. - -You must be joking, sir. Mr. Bulstrode, like other men, believes -scores of things that are not true, and he has a prejudice against me. -I could easily get him to write that he knew no facts in proof of the -report you speak of, though it might lead to unpleasantness. But I -could hardly ask him to write down what he believes or does not believe -about me. Fred paused an instant, and then added, in politic appeal to -his uncles vanity, That is hardly a thing for a gentleman to ask. -But he was disappointed in the result. - -Ay, I know what you mean. Youd sooner offend me than Bulstrode. And -whats he?hes got no land hereabout that ever I heard tell of. A -speckilating fellow! He may come down any day, when the devil leaves -off backing him. And thats what his religion means: he wants God -Amighty to come in. Thats nonsense! Theres one thing I made out -pretty clear when I used to go to churchand its this: God Amighty -sticks to the land. He promises land, and He gives land, and He makes -chaps rich with corn and cattle. But you take the other side. You like -Bulstrode and speckilation better than Featherstone and land. - -I beg your pardon, sir, said Fred, rising, standing with his back to -the fire and beating his boot with his whip. I like neither Bulstrode -nor speculation. He spoke rather sulkily, feeling himself stalemated. - -Well, well, you can do without me, thats pretty clear, said old -Featherstone, secretly disliking the possibility that Fred would show -himself at all independent. You neither want a bit of land to make a -squire of you instead of a starving parson, nor a lift of a hundred -pound by the way. Its all one to me. I can make five codicils if I -like, and I shall keep my bank-notes for a nest-egg. Its all one to -me. - -Fred colored again. Featherstone had rarely given him presents of -money, and at this moment it seemed almost harder to part with the -immediate prospect of bank-notes than with the more distant prospect of -the land. - -I am not ungrateful, sir. I never meant to show disregard for any kind -intentions you might have towards me. On the contrary. - -Very good. Then prove it. You bring me a letter from Bulstrode saying -he doesnt believe youve been cracking and promising to pay your debts -out o my land, and then, if theres any scrape youve got into, well -see if I cant back you a bit. Come now! Thats a bargain. Here, give -me your arm. Ill try and walk round the room. - -Fred, in spite of his irritation, had kindness enough in him to be a -little sorry for the unloved, unvenerated old man, who with his -dropsical legs looked more than usually pitiable in walking. While -giving his arm, he thought that he should not himself like to be an old -fellow with his constitution breaking up; and he waited -good-temperedly, first before the window to hear the wonted remarks -about the guinea-fowls and the weather-cock, and then before the scanty -book-shelves, of which the chief glories in dark calf were Josephus, -Culpepper, Klopstocks Messiah, and several volumes of the -Gentlemans Magazine. - -Read me the names o the books. Come now! youre a college man. - -Fred gave him the titles. - -What did missy want with more books? What must you be bringing her -more books for? - -They amuse her, sir. She is very fond of reading. - -A little too fond, said Mr. Featherstone, captiously. She was for -reading when she sat with me. But I put a stop to that. Shes got the -newspaper to read out loud. Thats enough for one day, I should think. -I cant abide to see her reading to herself. You mind and not bring her -any more books, do you hear? - -Yes, sir, I hear. Fred had received this order before, and had -secretly disobeyed it. He intended to disobey it again. - -Ring the bell, said Mr. Featherstone; I want missy to come down. - -Rosamond and Mary had been talking faster than their male friends. They -did not think of sitting down, but stood at the toilet-table near the -window while Rosamond took off her hat, adjusted her veil, and applied -little touches of her finger-tips to her hairhair of infantine -fairness, neither flaxen nor yellow. Mary Garth seemed all the plainer -standing at an angle between the two nymphsthe one in the glass, and -the one out of it, who looked at each other with eyes of heavenly blue, -deep enough to hold the most exquisite meanings an ingenious beholder -could put into them, and deep enough to hide the meanings of the owner -if these should happen to be less exquisite. Only a few children in -Middlemarch looked blond by the side of Rosamond, and the slim figure -displayed by her riding-habit had delicate undulations. In fact, most -men in Middlemarch, except her brothers, held that Miss Vincy was the -best girl in the world, and some called her an angel. Mary Garth, on -the contrary, had the aspect of an ordinary sinner: she was brown; her -curly dark hair was rough and stubborn; her stature was low; and it -would not be true to declare, in satisfactory antithesis, that she had -all the virtues. Plainness has its peculiar temptations and vices quite -as much as beauty; it is apt either to feign amiability, or, not -feigning it, to show all the repulsiveness of discontent: at any rate, -to be called an ugly thing in contrast with that lovely creature your -companion, is apt to produce some effect beyond a sense of fine -veracity and fitness in the phrase. At the age of two-and-twenty Mary -had certainly not attained that perfect good sense and good principle -which are usually recommended to the less fortunate girl, as if they -were to be obtained in quantities ready mixed, with a flavor of -resignation as required. Her shrewdness had a streak of satiric -bitterness continually renewed and never carried utterly out of sight, -except by a strong current of gratitude towards those who, instead of -telling her that she ought to be contented, did something to make her -so. Advancing womanhood had tempered her plainness, which was of a good -human sort, such as the mothers of our race have very commonly worn in -all latitudes under a more or less becoming headgear. Rembrandt would -have painted her with pleasure, and would have made her broad features -look out of the canvas with intelligent honesty. For honesty, -truth-telling fairness, was Marys reigning virtue: she neither tried -to create illusions, nor indulged in them for her own behoof, and when -she was in a good mood she had humor enough in her to laugh at herself. -When she and Rosamond happened both to be reflected in the glass, she -said, laughingly - -What a brown patch I am by the side of you, Rosy! You are the most -unbecoming companion. - -Oh no! No one thinks of your appearance, you are so sensible and -useful, Mary. Beauty is of very little consequence in reality, said -Rosamond, turning her head towards Mary, but with eyes swerving towards -the new view of her neck in the glass. - -You mean _my_ beauty, said Mary, rather sardonically. - -Rosamond thought, Poor Mary, she takes the kindest things ill. Aloud -she said, What have you been doing lately? - -I? Oh, minding the housepouring out syruppretending to be amiable -and contentedlearning to have a bad opinion of everybody. - -It is a wretched life for you. +CHAPTER 53. The Gam. -No, said Mary, curtly, with a little toss of her head. I think my -life is pleasanter than your Miss Morgans. +CHAPTER 54. The Town-Hos Story. -Yes; but Miss Morgan is so uninteresting, and not young. +CHAPTER 55. Of the Monstrous Pictures of Whales. -She is interesting to herself, I suppose; and I am not at all sure -that everything gets easier as one gets older. +CHAPTER 56. Of the Less Erroneous Pictures of Whales, and the True +Pictures of Whaling Scenes. -No, said Rosamond, reflectively; one wonders what such people do, -without any prospect. To be sure, there is religion as a support. But, -she added, dimpling, it is very different with you, Mary. You may have -an offer. +CHAPTER 57. Of Whales in Paint; in Teeth; in Wood; in Sheet-Iron; in +Stone; in Mountains; in Stars. -Has any one told you he means to make me one? +CHAPTER 58. Brit. -Of course not. I mean, there is a gentleman who may fall in love with -you, seeing you almost every day. +CHAPTER 59. Squid. -A certain change in Marys face was chiefly determined by the resolve -not to show any change. +CHAPTER 60. The Line. -Does that always make people fall in love? she answered, carelessly; -it seems to me quite as often a reason for detesting each other. +CHAPTER 61. Stubb Kills a Whale. -Not when they are interesting and agreeable. I hear that Mr. Lydgate -is both. +CHAPTER 62. The Dart. -Oh, Mr. Lydgate! said Mary, with an unmistakable lapse into -indifference. You want to know something about him, she added, not -choosing to indulge Rosamonds indirectness. +CHAPTER 63. The Crotch. -Merely, how you like him. +CHAPTER 64. Stubbs Supper. -There is no question of liking at present. My liking always wants some -little kindness to kindle it. I am not magnanimous enough to like -people who speak to me without seeming to see me. +CHAPTER 65. The Whale as a Dish. -Is he so haughty? said Rosamond, with heightened satisfaction. You -know that he is of good family? +CHAPTER 66. The Shark Massacre. -No; he did not give that as a reason. +CHAPTER 67. Cutting In. -Mary! you are the oddest girl. But what sort of looking man is he? -Describe him to me. +CHAPTER 68. The Blanket. -How can one describe a man? I can give you an inventory: heavy -eyebrows, dark eyes, a straight nose, thick dark hair, large solid -white handsandlet me seeoh, an exquisite cambric -pocket-handkerchief. But you will see him. You know this is about the -time of his visits. +CHAPTER 69. The Funeral. -Rosamond blushed a little, but said, meditatively, I rather like a -haughty manner. I cannot endure a rattling young man. +CHAPTER 70. The Sphynx. -I did not tell you that Mr. Lydgate was haughty; but _il y en a pour -tous les gots_, as little Mamselle used to say, and if any girl can -choose the particular sort of conceit she would like, I should think it -is you, Rosy. +CHAPTER 71. The Jeroboams Story. -Haughtiness is not conceit; I call Fred conceited. +CHAPTER 72. The Monkey-Rope. -I wish no one said any worse of him. He should be more careful. Mrs. -Waule has been telling uncle that Fred is very unsteady. Mary spoke -from a girlish impulse which got the better of her judgment. There was -a vague uneasiness associated with the word unsteady which she hoped -Rosamond might say something to dissipate. But she purposely abstained -from mentioning Mrs. Waules more special insinuation. +CHAPTER 73. Stubb and Flask kill a Right Whale; and Then Have a Talk +over Him. -Oh, Fred is horrid! said Rosamond. She would not have allowed herself -so unsuitable a word to any one but Mary. +CHAPTER 74. The Sperm Whales HeadContrasted View. -What do you mean by horrid? +CHAPTER 75. The Right Whales HeadContrasted View. -He is so idle, and makes papa so angry, and says he will not take -orders. +CHAPTER 76. The Battering-Ram. -I think Fred is quite right. +CHAPTER 77. The Great Heidelburgh Tun. -How can you say he is quite right, Mary? I thought you had more sense -of religion. +CHAPTER 78. Cistern and Buckets. -He is not fit to be a clergyman. +CHAPTER 79. The Prairie. -But he ought to be fit.Well, then, he is not what he ought to be. I -know some other people who are in the same case. +CHAPTER 80. The Nut. -But no one approves of them. I should not like to marry a clergyman; -but there must be clergymen. +CHAPTER 81. The Pequod Meets The Virgin. -It does not follow that Fred must be one. +CHAPTER 82. The Honor and Glory of Whaling. -But when papa has been at the expense of educating him for it! And -only suppose, if he should have no fortune left him? +CHAPTER 83. Jonah Historically Regarded. -I can suppose that very well, said Mary, dryly. +CHAPTER 84. Pitchpoling. -Then I wonder you can defend Fred, said Rosamond, inclined to push -this point. +CHAPTER 85. The Fountain. -I dont defend him, said Mary, laughing; I would defend any parish -from having him for a clergyman. +CHAPTER 86. The Tail. -But of course if he were a clergyman, he must be different. +CHAPTER 87. The Grand Armada. -Yes, he would be a great hypocrite; and he is not that yet. +CHAPTER 88. Schools and Schoolmasters. -It is of no use saying anything to you, Mary. You always take Freds -part. +CHAPTER 89. Fast-Fish and Loose-Fish. -Why should I not take his part? said Mary, lighting up. He would -take mine. He is the only person who takes the least trouble to oblige -me. +CHAPTER 90. Heads or Tails. -You make me feel very uncomfortable, Mary, said Rosamond, with her -gravest mildness; I would not tell mamma for the world. +CHAPTER 91. The Pequod Meets The Rose-Bud. -What would you not tell her? said Mary, angrily. +CHAPTER 92. Ambergris. -Pray do not go into a rage, Mary, said Rosamond, mildly as ever. +CHAPTER 93. The Castaway. -If your mamma is afraid that Fred will make me an offer, tell her that -I would not marry him if he asked me. But he is not going to do so, -that I am aware. He certainly never has asked me. +CHAPTER 94. A Squeeze of the Hand. -Mary, you are always so violent. +CHAPTER 95. The Cassock. -And you are always so exasperating. +CHAPTER 96. The Try-Works. -I? What can you blame me for? +CHAPTER 97. The Lamp. -Oh, blameless people are always the most exasperating. There is the -bellI think we must go down. +CHAPTER 98. Stowing Down and Clearing Up. -I did not mean to quarrel, said Rosamond, putting on her hat. - -Quarrel? Nonsense; we have not quarrelled. If one is not to get into a -rage sometimes, what is the good of being friends? - -Am I to repeat what you have said? - -Just as you please. I never say what I am afraid of having repeated. -But let us go down. - -Mr. Lydgate was rather late this morning, but the visitors stayed long -enough to see him; for Mr. Featherstone asked Rosamond to sing to him, -and she herself was so kind as to propose a second favorite song of -hisFlow on, thou shining riverafter she had sung Home, sweet home -(which she detested). This hard-headed old Overreach approved of the -sentimental song, as the suitable garnish for girls, and also as -fundamentally fine, sentiment being the right thing for a song. - -Mr. Featherstone was still applauding the last performance, and -assuring missy that her voice was as clear as a blackbirds, when Mr. -Lydgates horse passed the window. - -His dull expectation of the usual disagreeable routine with an aged -patientwho can hardly believe that medicine would not set him up if -the doctor were only clever enoughadded to his general disbelief in -Middlemarch charms, made a doubly effective background to this vision -of Rosamond, whom old Featherstone made haste ostentatiously to -introduce as his niece, though he had never thought it worth while to -speak of Mary Garth in that light. Nothing escaped Lydgate in -Rosamonds graceful behavior: how delicately she waived the notice -which the old mans want of taste had thrust upon her by a quiet -gravity, not showing her dimples on the wrong occasion, but showing -them afterwards in speaking to Mary, to whom she addressed herself with -so much good-natured interest, that Lydgate, after quickly examining -Mary more fully than he had done before, saw an adorable kindness in -Rosamonds eyes. But Mary from some cause looked rather out of temper. - -Miss Rosy has been singing me a songyouve nothing to say against -that, eh, doctor? said Mr. Featherstone. I like it better than your -physic. - -That has made me forget how the time was going, said Rosamond, rising -to reach her hat, which she had laid aside before singing, so that her -flower-like head on its white stem was seen in perfection above her -riding-habit. Fred, we must really go. - -Very good, said Fred, who had his own reasons for not being in the -best spirits, and wanted to get away. - -Miss Vincy is a musician? said Lydgate, following her with his eyes. -(Every nerve and muscle in Rosamond was adjusted to the consciousness -that she was being looked at. She was by nature an actress of parts -that entered into her _physique:_ she even acted her own character, and -so well, that she did not know it to be precisely her own.) - -The best in Middlemarch, Ill be bound, said Mr. Featherstone, let -the next be who she will. Eh, Fred? Speak up for your sister. - -Im afraid Im out of court, sir. My evidence would be good for -nothing. - -Middlemarch has not a very high standard, uncle, said Rosamond, with -a pretty lightness, going towards her whip, which lay at a distance. - -Lydgate was quick in anticipating her. He reached the whip before she -did, and turned to present it to her. She bowed and looked at him: he -of course was looking at her, and their eyes met with that peculiar -meeting which is never arrived at by effort, but seems like a sudden -divine clearance of haze. I think Lydgate turned a little paler than -usual, but Rosamond blushed deeply and felt a certain astonishment. -After that, she was really anxious to go, and did not know what sort of -stupidity her uncle was talking of when she went to shake hands with -him. - -Yet this result, which she took to be a mutual impression, called -falling in love, was just what Rosamond had contemplated beforehand. -Ever since that important new arrival in Middlemarch she had woven a -little future, of which something like this scene was the necessary -beginning. Strangers, whether wrecked and clinging to a raft, or duly -escorted and accompanied by portmanteaus, have always had a -circumstantial fascination for the virgin mind, against which native -merit has urged itself in vain. And a stranger was absolutely necessary -to Rosamonds social romance, which had always turned on a lover and -bridegroom who was not a Middlemarcher, and who had no connections at -all like her own: of late, indeed, the construction seemed to demand -that he should somehow be related to a baronet. Now that she and the -stranger had met, reality proved much more moving than anticipation, -and Rosamond could not doubt that this was the great epoch of her life. -She judged of her own symptoms as those of awakening love, and she held -it still more natural that Mr. Lydgate should have fallen in love at -first sight of her. These things happened so often at balls, and why -not by the morning light, when the complexion showed all the better for -it? Rosamond, though no older than Mary, was rather used to being -fallen in love with; but she, for her part, had remained indifferent -and fastidiously critical towards both fresh sprig and faded bachelor. -And here was Mr. Lydgate suddenly corresponding to her ideal, being -altogether foreign to Middlemarch, carrying a certain air of -distinction congruous with good family, and possessing connections -which offered vistas of that middle-class heaven, rank; a man of -talent, also, whom it would be especially delightful to enslave: in -fact, a man who had touched her nature quite newly, and brought a vivid -interest into her life which was better than any fancied might-be -such as she was in the habit of opposing to the actual. - -Thus, in riding home, both the brother and the sister were preoccupied -and inclined to be silent. Rosamond, whose basis for her structure had -the usual airy slightness, was of remarkably detailed and realistic -imagination when the foundation had been once presupposed; and before -they had ridden a mile she was far on in the costume and introductions -of her wedded life, having determined on her house in Middlemarch, and -foreseen the visits she would pay to her husbands high-bred relatives -at a distance, whose finished manners she could appropriate as -thoroughly as she had done her school accomplishments, preparing -herself thus for vaguer elevations which might ultimately come. There -was nothing financial, still less sordid, in her previsions: she cared -about what were considered refinements, and not about the money that -was to pay for them. - -Freds mind, on the other hand, was busy with an anxiety which even his -ready hopefulness could not immediately quell. He saw no way of eluding -Featherstones stupid demand without incurring consequences which he -liked less even than the task of fulfilling it. His father was already -out of humor with him, and would be still more so if he were the -occasion of any additional coolness between his own family and the -Bulstrodes. Then, he himself hated having to go and speak to his uncle -Bulstrode, and perhaps after drinking wine he had said many foolish -things about Featherstones property, and these had been magnified by -report. Fred felt that he made a wretched figure as a fellow who -bragged about expectations from a queer old miser like Featherstone, -and went to beg for certificates at his bidding. Butthose -expectations! He really had them, and he saw no agreeable alternative -if he gave them up; besides, he had lately made a debt which galled him -extremely, and old Featherstone had almost bargained to pay it off. The -whole affair was miserably small: his debts were small, even his -expectations were not anything so very magnificent. Fred had known men -to whom he would have been ashamed of confessing the smallness of his -scrapes. Such ruminations naturally produced a streak of misanthropic -bitterness. To be born the son of a Middlemarch manufacturer, and -inevitable heir to nothing in particular, while such men as Mainwaring -and Vyancertainly life was a poor business, when a spirited young -fellow, with a good appetite for the best of everything, had so poor an -outlook. - -It had not occurred to Fred that the introduction of Bulstrodes name -in the matter was a fiction of old Featherstones; nor could this have -made any difference to his position. He saw plainly enough that the old -man wanted to exercise his power by tormenting him a little, and also -probably to get some satisfaction out of seeing him on unpleasant terms -with Bulstrode. Fred fancied that he saw to the bottom of his uncle -Featherstones soul, though in reality half what he saw there was no -more than the reflex of his own inclinations. The difficult task of -knowing another soul is not for young gentlemen whose consciousness is -chiefly made up of their own wishes. - -Freds main point of debate with himself was, whether he should tell -his father, or try to get through the affair without his fathers -knowledge. It was probably Mrs. Waule who had been talking about him; -and if Mary Garth had repeated Mrs. Waules report to Rosamond, it -would be sure to reach his father, who would as surely question him -about it. He said to Rosamond, as they slackened their pace - -Rosy, did Mary tell you that Mrs. Waule had said anything about me? - -Yes, indeed, she did. - -What? - -That you were very unsteady. - -Was that all? - -I should think that was enough, Fred. - -You are sure she said no more? - -Mary mentioned nothing else. But really, Fred, I think you ought to be -ashamed. - -Oh, fudge! Dont lecture me. What did Mary say about it? - -I am not obliged to tell you. You care so very much what Mary says, -and you are too rude to allow me to speak. - -Of course I care what Mary says. She is the best girl I know. - -I should never have thought she was a girl to fall in love with. - -How do you know what men would fall in love with? Girls never know. - -At least, Fred, let me advise _you_ not to fall in love with her, for -she says she would not marry you if you asked her. - -She might have waited till I did ask her. - -I knew it would nettle you, Fred. - -Not at all. She would not have said so if you had not provoked her. -Before reaching home, Fred concluded that he would tell the whole -affair as simply as possible to his father, who might perhaps take on -himself the unpleasant business of speaking to Bulstrode. - - - - -BOOK II. -OLD AND YOUNG. - - - - -CHAPTER XIII. - -1_st Gent_. How class your man?as better than the most, - Or, seeming better, worse beneath that cloak? - As saint or knave, pilgrim or hypocrite? - -2_d Gent_. Nay, tell me how you class your wealth of books - The drifted relics of all time. - As well sort them at once by size and livery: - Vellum, tall copies, and the common calf - Will hardly cover more diversity - Than all your labels cunningly devised - To class your unread authors. - - -In consequence of what he had heard from Fred, Mr. Vincy determined to -speak with Mr. Bulstrode in his private room at the Bank at half-past -one, when he was usually free from other callers. But a visitor had -come in at one oclock, and Mr. Bulstrode had so much to say to him, -that there was little chance of the interview being over in half an -hour. The bankers speech was fluent, but it was also copious, and he -used up an appreciable amount of time in brief meditative pauses. Do -not imagine his sickly aspect to have been of the yellow, black-haired -sort: he had a pale blond skin, thin gray-besprinkled brown hair, -light-gray eyes, and a large forehead. Loud men called his subdued tone -an undertone, and sometimes implied that it was inconsistent with -openness; though there seems to be no reason why a loud man should not -be given to concealment of anything except his own voice, unless it can -be shown that Holy Writ has placed the seat of candor in the lungs. Mr. -Bulstrode had also a deferential bending attitude in listening, and an -apparently fixed attentiveness in his eyes which made those persons who -thought themselves worth hearing infer that he was seeking the utmost -improvement from their discourse. Others, who expected to make no great -figure, disliked this kind of moral lantern turned on them. If you are -not proud of your cellar, there is no thrill of satisfaction in seeing -your guest hold up his wine-glass to the light and look judicial. Such -joys are reserved for conscious merit. Hence Mr. Bulstrodes close -attention was not agreeable to the publicans and sinners in -Middlemarch; it was attributed by some to his being a Pharisee, and by -others to his being Evangelical. Less superficial reasoners among them -wished to know who his father and grandfather were, observing that -five-and-twenty years ago nobody had ever heard of a Bulstrode in -Middlemarch. To his present visitor, Lydgate, the scrutinizing look was -a matter of indifference: he simply formed an unfavorable opinion of -the bankers constitution, and concluded that he had an eager inward -life with little enjoyment of tangible things. - -I shall be exceedingly obliged if you will look in on me here -occasionally, Mr. Lydgate, the banker observed, after a brief pause. -If, as I dare to hope, I have the privilege of finding you a valuable -coadjutor in the interesting matter of hospital management, there will -be many questions which we shall need to discuss in private. As to the -new hospital, which is nearly finished, I shall consider what you have -said about the advantages of the special destination for fevers. The -decision will rest with me, for though Lord Medlicote has given the -land and timber for the building, he is not disposed to give his -personal attention to the object. - -There are few things better worth the pains in a provincial town like -this, said Lydgate. A fine fever hospital in addition to the old -infirmary might be the nucleus of a medical school here, when once we -get our medical reforms; and what would do more for medical education -than the spread of such schools over the country? A born provincial man -who has a grain of public spirit as well as a few ideas, should do what -he can to resist the rush of everything that is a little better than -common towards London. Any valid professional aims may often find a -freer, if not a richer field, in the provinces. - -One of Lydgates gifts was a voice habitually deep and sonorous, yet -capable of becoming very low and gentle at the right moment. About his -ordinary bearing there was a certain fling, a fearless expectation of -success, a confidence in his own powers and integrity much fortified by -contempt for petty obstacles or seductions of which he had had no -experience. But this proud openness was made lovable by an expression -of unaffected good-will. Mr. Bulstrode perhaps liked him the better for -the difference between them in pitch and manners; he certainly liked -him the better, as Rosamond did, for being a stranger in Middlemarch. -One can begin so many things with a new person!even begin to be a -better man. - -I shall rejoice to furnish your zeal with fuller opportunities, Mr. -Bulstrode answered; I mean, by confiding to you the superintendence of -my new hospital, should a maturer knowledge favor that issue, for I am -determined that so great an object shall not be shackled by our two -physicians. Indeed, I am encouraged to consider your advent to this -town as a gracious indication that a more manifest blessing is now to -be awarded to my efforts, which have hitherto been much withstood. With -regard to the old infirmary, we have gained the initial pointI mean -your election. And now I hope you will not shrink from incurring a -certain amount of jealousy and dislike from your professional brethren -by presenting yourself as a reformer. - -I will not profess bravery, said Lydgate, smiling, but I acknowledge -a good deal of pleasure in fighting, and I should not care for my -profession, if I did not believe that better methods were to be found -and enforced there as well as everywhere else. - -The standard of that profession is low in Middlemarch, my dear sir, -said the banker. I mean in knowledge and skill; not in social status, -for our medical men are most of them connected with respectable -townspeople here. My own imperfect health has induced me to give some -attention to those palliative resources which the divine mercy has -placed within our reach. I have consulted eminent men in the -metropolis, and I am painfully aware of the backwardness under which -medical treatment labors in our provincial districts. - -Yes;with our present medical rules and education, one must be -satisfied now and then to meet with a fair practitioner. As to all the -higher questions which determine the starting-point of a diagnosisas -to the philosophy of medical evidenceany glimmering of these can only -come from a scientific culture of which country practitioners have -usually no more notion than the man in the moon. - -Mr. Bulstrode, bending and looking intently, found the form which -Lydgate had given to his agreement not quite suited to his -comprehension. Under such circumstances a judicious man changes the -topic and enters on ground where his own gifts may be more useful. - -I am aware, he said, that the peculiar bias of medical ability is -towards material means. Nevertheless, Mr. Lydgate, I hope we shall not -vary in sentiment as to a measure in which you are not likely to be -actively concerned, but in which your sympathetic concurrence may be an -aid to me. You recognize, I hope; the existence of spiritual interests -in your patients? - -Certainly I do. But those words are apt to cover different meanings to -different minds. - -Precisely. And on such subjects wrong teaching is as fatal as no -teaching. Now a point which I have much at heart to secure is a new -regulation as to clerical attendance at the old infirmary. The building -stands in Mr. Farebrothers parish. You know Mr. Farebrother? - -I have seen him. He gave me his vote. I must call to thank him. He -seems a very bright pleasant little fellow. And I understand he is a -naturalist. - -Mr. Farebrother, my dear sir, is a man deeply painful to contemplate. -I suppose there is not a clergyman in this country who has greater -talents. Mr. Bulstrode paused and looked meditative. - -I have not yet been pained by finding any excessive talent in -Middlemarch, said Lydgate, bluntly. - -What I desire, Mr. Bulstrode continued, looking still more serious, -is that Mr. Farebrothers attendance at the hospital should be -superseded by the appointment of a chaplainof Mr. Tyke, in factand -that no other spiritual aid should be called in. - -As a medical man I could have no opinion on such a point unless I knew -Mr. Tyke, and even then I should require to know the cases in which he -was applied. Lydgate smiled, but he was bent on being circumspect. - -Of course you cannot enter fully into the merits of this measure at -present. Buthere Mr. Bulstrode began to speak with a more chiselled -emphasisthe subject is likely to be referred to the medical board of -the infirmary, and what I trust I may ask of you is, that in virtue of -the cooperation between us which I now look forward to, you will not, -so far as you are concerned, be influenced by my opponents in this -matter. - -I hope I shall have nothing to do with clerical disputes, said -Lydgate. The path I have chosen is to work well in my own profession. - -My responsibility, Mr. Lydgate, is of a broader kind. With me, indeed, -this question is one of sacred accountableness; whereas with my -opponents, I have good reason to say that it is an occasion for -gratifying a spirit of worldly opposition. But I shall not therefore -drop one iota of my convictions, or cease to identify myself with that -truth which an evil generation hates. I have devoted myself to this -object of hospital-improvement, but I will boldly confess to you, Mr. -Lydgate, that I should have no interest in hospitals if I believed that -nothing more was concerned therein than the cure of mortal diseases. I -have another ground of action, and in the face of persecution I will -not conceal it. - -Mr. Bulstrodes voice had become a loud and agitated whisper as he said -the last words. - -There we certainly differ, said Lydgate. But he was not sorry that -the door was now opened, and Mr. Vincy was announced. That florid -sociable personage was become more interesting to him since he had seen -Rosamond. Not that, like her, he had been weaving any future in which -their lots were united; but a man naturally remembers a charming girl -with pleasure, and is willing to dine where he may see her again. -Before he took leave, Mr. Vincy had given that invitation which he had -been in no hurry about, for Rosamond at breakfast had mentioned that -she thought her uncle Featherstone had taken the new doctor into great -favor. - -Mr. Bulstrode, alone with his brother-in-law, poured himself out a -glass of water, and opened a sandwich-box. - -I cannot persuade you to adopt my regimen, Vincy? - -No, no; Ive no opinion of that system. Life wants padding, said Mr. -Vincy, unable to omit his portable theory. However, he went on, -accenting the word, as if to dismiss all irrelevance, what I came here -to talk about was a little affair of my young scapegrace, Freds. - -That is a subject on which you and I are likely to take quite as -different views as on diet, Vincy. - -I hope not this time. (Mr. Vincy was resolved to be good-humored.) -The fact is, its about a whim of old Featherstones. Somebody has -been cooking up a story out of spite, and telling it to the old man, to -try to set him against Fred. Hes very fond of Fred, and is likely to -do something handsome for him; indeed he has as good as told Fred that -he means to leave him his land, and that makes other people jealous. - -Vincy, I must repeat, that you will not get any concurrence from me as -to the course you have pursued with your eldest son. It was entirely -from worldly vanity that you destined him for the Church: with a family -of three sons and four daughters, you were not warranted in devoting -money to an expensive education which has succeeded in nothing but in -giving him extravagant idle habits. You are now reaping the -consequences. - -To point out other peoples errors was a duty that Mr. Bulstrode rarely -shrank from, but Mr. Vincy was not equally prepared to be patient. When -a man has the immediate prospect of being mayor, and is ready, in the -interests of commerce, to take up a firm attitude on politics -generally, he has naturally a sense of his importance to the framework -of things which seems to throw questions of private conduct into the -background. And this particular reproof irritated him more than any -other. It was eminently superfluous to him to be told that he was -reaping the consequences. But he felt his neck under Bulstrodes yoke; -and though he usually enjoyed kicking, he was anxious to refrain from -that relief. - -As to that, Bulstrode, its no use going back. Im not one of your -pattern men, and I dont pretend to be. I couldnt foresee everything -in the trade; there wasnt a finer business in Middlemarch than ours, -and the lad was clever. My poor brother was in the Church, and would -have done wellhad got preferment already, but that stomach fever took -him off: else he might have been a dean by this time. I think I was -justified in what I tried to do for Fred. If you come to religion, it -seems to me a man shouldnt want to carve out his meat to an ounce -beforehand:one must trust a little to Providence and be generous. Its -a good British feeling to try and raise your family a little: in my -opinion, its a fathers duty to give his sons a fine chance. - -I dont wish to act otherwise than as your best friend, Vincy, when I -say that what you have been uttering just now is one mass of -worldliness and inconsistent folly. - -Very well, said Mr. Vincy, kicking in spite of resolutions, I never -professed to be anything but worldly; and, whats more, I dont see -anybody else who is not worldly. I suppose you dont conduct business -on what you call unworldly principles. The only difference I see is -that one worldliness is a little bit honester than another. - -This kind of discussion is unfruitful, Vincy, said Mr. Bulstrode, -who, finishing his sandwich, had thrown himself back in his chair, and -shaded his eyes as if weary. You had some more particular business. - -Yes, yes. The long and short of it is, somebody has told old -Featherstone, giving you as the authority, that Fred has been borrowing -or trying to borrow money on the prospect of his land. Of course you -never said any such nonsense. But the old fellow will insist on it that -Fred should bring him a denial in your handwriting; that is, just a bit -of a note saying you dont believe a word of such stuff, either of his -having borrowed or tried to borrow in such a fools way. I suppose you -can have no objection to do that. - -Pardon me. I have an objection. I am by no means sure that your son, -in his recklessness and ignoranceI will use no severer wordhas not -tried to raise money by holding out his future prospects, or even that -some one may not have been foolish enough to supply him on so vague a -presumption: there is plenty of such lax money-lending as of other -folly in the world. - -But Fred gives me his honor that he has never borrowed money on the -pretence of any understanding about his uncles land. He is not a liar. -I dont want to make him better than he is. I have blown him up -wellnobody can say I wink at what he does. But he is not a liar. And I -should have thoughtbut I may be wrongthat there was no religion to -hinder a man from believing the best of a young fellow, when you dont -know worse. It seems to me it would be a poor sort of religion to put a -spoke in his wheel by refusing to say you dont believe such harm of -him as youve got no good reason to believe. - -I am not at all sure that I should be befriending your son by -smoothing his way to the future possession of Featherstones property. -I cannot regard wealth as a blessing to those who use it simply as a -harvest for this world. You do not like to hear these things, Vincy, -but on this occasion I feel called upon to tell you that I have no -motive for furthering such a disposition of property as that which you -refer to. I do not shrink from saying that it will not tend to your -sons eternal welfare or to the glory of God. Why then should you -expect me to pen this kind of affidavit, which has no object but to -keep up a foolish partiality and secure a foolish bequest? - -If you mean to hinder everybody from having money but saints and -evangelists, you must give up some profitable partnerships, thats all -I can say, Mr. Vincy burst out very bluntly. It may be for the glory -of God, but it is not for the glory of the Middlemarch trade, that -Plymdales house uses those blue and green dyes it gets from the -Brassing manufactory; they rot the silk, thats all I know about it. -Perhaps if other people knew so much of the profit went to the glory of -God, they might like it better. But I dont mind so much about thatI -could get up a pretty row, if I chose. - -Mr. Bulstrode paused a little before he answered. You pain me very -much by speaking in this way, Vincy. I do not expect you to understand -my grounds of actionit is not an easy thing even to thread a path for -principles in the intricacies of the worldstill less to make the -thread clear for the careless and the scoffing. You must remember, if -you please, that I stretch my tolerance towards you as my wifes -brother, and that it little becomes you to complain of me as -withholding material help towards the worldly position of your family. -I must remind you that it is not your own prudence or judgment that has -enabled you to keep your place in the trade. - -Very likely not; but you have been no loser by my trade yet, said Mr. -Vincy, thoroughly nettled (a result which was seldom much retarded by -previous resolutions). And when you married Harriet, I dont see how -you could expect that our families should not hang by the same nail. If -youve changed your mind, and want my family to come down in the world, -youd better say so. Ive never changed; Im a plain Churchman now, -just as I used to be before doctrines came up. I take the world as I -find it, in trade and everything else. Im contented to be no worse -than my neighbors. But if you want us to come down in the world, say -so. I shall know better what to do then. - -You talk unreasonably. Shall you come down in the world for want of -this letter about your son? - -Well, whether or not, I consider it very unhandsome of you to refuse -it. Such doings may be lined with religion, but outside they have a -nasty, dog-in-the-manger look. You might as well slander Fred: it comes -pretty near to it when you refuse to say you didnt set a slander -going. Its this sort of thingthis tyrannical spirit, wanting to play -bishop and banker everywhereits this sort of thing makes a mans name -stink. - -Vincy, if you insist on quarrelling with me, it will be exceedingly -painful to Harriet as well as myself, said Mr. Bulstrode, with a -trifle more eagerness and paleness than usual. - -I dont want to quarrel. Its for my interestand perhaps for yours -toothat we should be friends. I bear you no grudge; I think no worse -of you than I do of other people. A man who half starves himself, and -goes the length in family prayers, and so on, that you do, believes in -his religion whatever it may be: you could turn over your capital just -as fast with cursing and swearing:plenty of fellows do. You like to be -master, theres no denying that; you must be first chop in heaven, else -you wont like it much. But youre my sisters husband, and we ought to -stick together; and if I know Harriet, shell consider it your fault if -we quarrel because you strain at a gnat in this way, and refuse to do -Fred a good turn. And I dont mean to say I shall bear it well. I -consider it unhandsome. - -Mr. Vincy rose, began to button his great-coat, and looked steadily at -his brother-in-law, meaning to imply a demand for a decisive answer. - -This was not the first time that Mr. Bulstrode had begun by admonishing -Mr. Vincy, and had ended by seeing a very unsatisfactory reflection of -himself in the coarse unflattering mirror which that manufacturers -mind presented to the subtler lights and shadows of his fellow-men; and -perhaps his experience ought to have warned him how the scene would -end. But a full-fed fountain will be generous with its waters even in -the rain, when they are worse than useless; and a fine fount of -admonition is apt to be equally irrepressible. - -It was not in Mr. Bulstrodes nature to comply directly in consequence -of uncomfortable suggestions. Before changing his course, he always -needed to shape his motives and bring them into accordance with his -habitual standard. He said, at last - -I will reflect a little, Vincy. I will mention the subject to Harriet. -I shall probably send you a letter. - -Very well. As soon as you can, please. I hope it will all be settled -before I see you to-morrow. - - - - -CHAPTER XIV. - -Follows here the strict receipt -For that sauce to dainty meat, -Named Idleness, which many eat -By preference, and call it sweet: -_First watch for morsels, like a hound -Mix well with buffets, stir them round -With good thick oil of flatteries, And froth with mean self-lauding -lies. -Serve warm: the vessels you must choose -To keep it in are dead mens shoes._ - - -Mr. Bulstrodes consultation of Harriet seemed to have had the effect -desired by Mr. Vincy, for early the next morning a letter came which -Fred could carry to Mr. Featherstone as the required testimony. - -The old gentleman was staying in bed on account of the cold weather, -and as Mary Garth was not to be seen in the sitting-room, Fred went -up-stairs immediately and presented the letter to his uncle, who, -propped up comfortably on a bed-rest, was not less able than usual to -enjoy his consciousness of wisdom in distrusting and frustrating -mankind. He put on his spectacles to read the letter, pursing up his -lips and drawing down their corners. - -_Under the circumstances I will not decline to state my -conviction_tchah! what fine words the fellow puts! Hes as fine as an -auctioneer_that your son Frederic has not obtained any advance of -money on bequests promised by Mr. Featherstone_promised? who said I -had ever promised? I promise nothingI shall make codicils as long as I -like_and that considering the nature of such a proceeding, it is -unreasonable to presume that a young man of sense and character would -attempt it_ah, but the gentleman doesnt say you are a young man of -sense and character, mark you that, sir!_As to my own concern with any -report of such a nature, I distinctly affirm that I never made any -statement to the effect that your son had borrowed money on any -property that might accrue to him on Mr. Featherstones demise_bless -my heart! propertyaccruedemise! Lawyer Standish is nothing to him. -He couldnt speak finer if he wanted to borrow. Well, Mr. Featherstone -here looked over his spectacles at Fred, while he handed back the -letter to him with a contemptuous gesture, you dont suppose I believe -a thing because Bulstrode writes it out fine, eh? - -Fred colored. You wished to have the letter, sir. I should think it -very likely that Mr. Bulstrodes denial is as good as the authority -which told you what he denies. - -Every bit. I never said I believed either one or the other. And now -what d you expect? said Mr. Featherstone, curtly, keeping on his -spectacles, but withdrawing his hands under his wraps. - -I expect nothing, sir. Fred with difficulty restrained himself from -venting his irritation. I came to bring you the letter. If you like I -will bid you good morning. - -Not yet, not yet. Ring the bell; I want missy to come. - -It was a servant who came in answer to the bell. - -Tell missy to come! said Mr. Featherstone, impatiently. What -business had she to go away? He spoke in the same tone when Mary came. - -Why couldnt you sit still here till I told you to go? I want my -waistcoat now. I told you always to put it on the bed. - -Marys eyes looked rather red, as if she had been crying. It was clear -that Mr. Featherstone was in one of his most snappish humors this -morning, and though Fred had now the prospect of receiving the -much-needed present of money, he would have preferred being free to -turn round on the old tyrant and tell him that Mary Garth was too good -to be at his beck. Though Fred had risen as she entered the room, she -had barely noticed him, and looked as if her nerves were quivering with -the expectation that something would be thrown at her. But she never -had anything worse than words to dread. When she went to reach the -waistcoat from a peg, Fred went up to her and said, Allow me. - -Let it alone! You bring it, missy, and lay it down here, said Mr. -Featherstone. Now you go away again till I call you, he added, when -the waistcoat was laid down by him. It was usual with him to season his -pleasure in showing favor to one person by being especially -disagreeable to another, and Mary was always at hand to furnish the -condiment. When his own relatives came she was treated better. Slowly -he took out a bunch of keys from the waistcoat pocket, and slowly he -drew forth a tin box which was under the bed-clothes. - -You expect I am going to give you a little fortune, eh? he said, -looking above his spectacles and pausing in the act of opening the lid. - -Not at all, sir. You were good enough to speak of making me a present -the other day, else, of course, I should not have thought of the -matter. But Fred was of a hopeful disposition, and a vision had -presented itself of a sum just large enough to deliver him from a -certain anxiety. When Fred got into debt, it always seemed to him -highly probable that something or otherhe did not necessarily conceive -whatwould come to pass enabling him to pay in due time. And now that -the providential occurrence was apparently close at hand, it would have -been sheer absurdity to think that the supply would be short of the -need: as absurd as a faith that believed in half a miracle for want of -strength to believe in a whole one. - -The deep-veined hands fingered many bank-notes one after the other, -laying them down flat again, while Fred leaned back in his chair, -scorning to look eager. He held himself to be a gentleman at heart, and -did not like courting an old fellow for his money. At last, Mr. -Featherstone eyed him again over his spectacles and presented him with -a little sheaf of notes: Fred could see distinctly that there were but -five, as the less significant edges gaped towards him. But then, each -might mean fifty pounds. He took them, saying - -I am very much obliged to you, sir, and was going to roll them up -without seeming to think of their value. But this did not suit Mr. -Featherstone, who was eying him intently. - -Come, dont you think it worth your while to count em? You take money -like a lord; I suppose you lose it like one. - -I thought I was not to look a gift-horse in the mouth, sir. But I -shall be very happy to count them. - -Fred was not so happy, however, after he had counted them. For they -actually presented the absurdity of being less than his hopefulness had -decided that they must be. What can the fitness of things mean, if not -their fitness to a mans expectations? Failing this, absurdity and -atheism gape behind him. The collapse for Fred was severe when he found -that he held no more than five twenties, and his share in the higher -education of this country did not seem to help him. Nevertheless he -said, with rapid changes in his fair complexion - -It is very handsome of you, sir. - -I should think it is, said Mr. Featherstone, locking his box and -replacing it, then taking off his spectacles deliberately, and at -length, as if his inward meditation had more deeply convinced him, -repeating, I should think it handsome. - -I assure you, sir, I am very grateful, said Fred, who had had time to -recover his cheerful air. - -So you ought to be. You want to cut a figure in the world, and I -reckon Peter Featherstone is the only one youve got to trust to. Here -the old mans eyes gleamed with a curiously mingled satisfaction in the -consciousness that this smart young fellow relied upon him, and that -the smart young fellow was rather a fool for doing so. - -Yes, indeed: I was not born to very splendid chances. Few men have -been more cramped than I have been, said Fred, with some sense of -surprise at his own virtue, considering how hardly he was dealt with. -It really seems a little too bad to have to ride a broken-winded -hunter, and see men, who, are not half such good judges as yourself, -able to throw away any amount of money on buying bad bargains. - -Well, you can buy yourself a fine hunter now. Eighty pound is enough -for that, I reckonand youll have twenty pound over to get yourself -out of any little scrape, said Mr. Featherstone, chuckling slightly. - -You are very good, sir, said Fred, with a fine sense of contrast -between the words and his feeling. - -Ay, rather a better uncle than your fine uncle Bulstrode. You wont -get much out of his spekilations, I think. Hes got a pretty strong -string round your fathers leg, by what I hear, eh? - -My father never tells me anything about his affairs, sir. - -Well, he shows some sense there. But other people find em out without -his telling. _Hell_ never have much to leave you: hell most-like die -without a willhes the sort of man to do itlet em make him mayor of -Middlemarch as much as they like. But you wont get much by his dying -without a will, though you _are_ the eldest son. - -Fred thought that Mr. Featherstone had never been so disagreeable -before. True, he had never before given him quite so much money at -once. - -Shall I destroy this letter of Mr. Bulstrodes, sir? said Fred, -rising with the letter as if he would put it in the fire. - -Ay, ay, I dont want it. Its worth no money to me. - -Fred carried the letter to the fire, and thrust the poker through it -with much zest. He longed to get out of the room, but he was a little -ashamed before his inner self, as well as before his uncle, to run away -immediately after pocketing the money. Presently, the farm-bailiff came -up to give his master a report, and Fred, to his unspeakable relief, -was dismissed with the injunction to come again soon. - -He had longed not only to be set free from his uncle, but also to find -Mary Garth. She was now in her usual place by the fire, with sewing in -her hands and a book open on the little table by her side. Her eyelids -had lost some of their redness now, and she had her usual air of -self-command. - -Am I wanted up-stairs? she said, half rising as Fred entered. +CHAPTER 99. The Doubloon. -No; I am only dismissed, because Simmons is gone up. +CHAPTER 100. Leg and Arm. -Mary sat down again, and resumed her work. She was certainly treating -him with more indifference than usual: she did not know how -affectionately indignant he had felt on her behalf up-stairs. +CHAPTER 101. The Decanter. -May I stay here a little, Mary, or shall I bore you? - -Pray sit down, said Mary; you will not be so heavy a bore as Mr. -John Waule, who was here yesterday, and he sat down without asking my -leave. +CHAPTER 102. A Bower in the Arsacides. -Poor fellow! I think he is in love with you. +CHAPTER 103. Measurement of The Whales Skeleton. -I am not aware of it. And to me it is one of the most odious things in -a girls life, that there must always be some supposition of falling in -love coming between her and any man who is kind to her, and to whom she -is grateful. I should have thought that I, at least, might have been -safe from all that. I have no ground for the nonsensical vanity of -fancying everybody who comes near me is in love with me. - -Mary did not mean to betray any feeling, but in spite of herself she -ended in a tremulous tone of vexation. - -Confound John Waule! I did not mean to make you angry. I didnt know -you had any reason for being grateful to me. I forgot what a great -service you think it if any one snuffs a candle for you. Fred also had -his pride, and was not going to show that he knew what had called forth -this outburst of Marys. +CHAPTER 104. The Fossil Whale. -Oh, I am not angry, except with the ways of the world. I do like to be -spoken to as if I had common-sense. I really often feel as if I could -understand a little more than I ever hear even from young gentlemen who -have been to college. Mary had recovered, and she spoke with a -suppressed rippling under-current of laughter pleasant to hear. +CHAPTER 105. Does the Whales Magnitude Diminish?Will He Perish? -I dont care how merry you are at my expense this morning, said Fred, -I thought you looked so sad when you came up-stairs. It is a shame you -should stay here to be bullied in that way. +CHAPTER 106. Ahabs Leg. -Oh, I have an easy lifeby comparison. I have tried being a teacher, -and I am not fit for that: my mind is too fond of wandering on its own -way. I think any hardship is better than pretending to do what one is -paid for, and never really doing it. Everything here I can do as well -as any one else could; perhaps better than someRosy, for example. -Though she is just the sort of beautiful creature that is imprisoned -with ogres in fairy tales. +CHAPTER 107. The Carpenter. -_Rosy!_ cried Fred, in a tone of profound brotherly scepticism. +CHAPTER 108. Ahab and the Carpenter. -Come, Fred! said Mary, emphatically; you have no right to be so -critical. +CHAPTER 109. Ahab and Starbuck in the Cabin. -Do you mean anything particularjust now? +CHAPTER 110. Queequeg in His Coffin. -No, I mean something generalalways. +CHAPTER 111. The Pacific. -Oh, that I am idle and extravagant. Well, I am not fit to be a poor -man. I should not have made a bad fellow if I had been rich. +CHAPTER 112. The Blacksmith. -You would have done your duty in that state of life to which it has -not pleased God to call you, said Mary, laughing. +CHAPTER 113. The Forge. -Well, I couldnt do my duty as a clergyman, any more than you could do -yours as a governess. You ought to have a little fellow-feeling there, -Mary. +CHAPTER 114. The Gilder. -I never said you ought to be a clergyman. There are other sorts of -work. It seems to me very miserable not to resolve on some course and -act accordingly. +CHAPTER 115. The Pequod Meets The Bachelor. -So I could, if Fred broke off, and stood up, leaning against the -mantel-piece. +CHAPTER 116. The Dying Whale. -If you were sure you should not have a fortune? +CHAPTER 117. The Whale Watch. -I did not say that. You want to quarrel with me. It is too bad of you -to be guided by what other people say about me. +CHAPTER 118. The Quadrant. -How can I want to quarrel with you? I should be quarrelling with all -my new books, said Mary, lifting the volume on the table. However -naughty you may be to other people, you are good to me. +CHAPTER 119. The Candles. -Because I like you better than any one else. But I know you despise -me. +CHAPTER 120. The Deck Towards the End of the First Night Watch. -Yes, I doa little, said Mary, nodding, with a smile. +CHAPTER 121. Midnight.The Forecastle Bulwarks. -You would admire a stupendous fellow, who would have wise opinions -about everything. +CHAPTER 122. Midnight Aloft.Thunder and Lightning. -Yes, I should. Mary was sewing swiftly, and seemed provokingly -mistress of the situation. When a conversation has taken a wrong turn -for us, we only get farther and farther into the swamp of awkwardness. -This was what Fred Vincy felt. +CHAPTER 123. The Musket. -I suppose a woman is never in love with any one she has always -knownever since she can remember; as a man often is. It is always some -new fellow who strikes a girl. +CHAPTER 124. The Needle. -Let me see, said Mary, the corners of her mouth curling archly; I -must go back on my experience. There is Julietshe seems an example of -what you say. But then Ophelia had probably known Hamlet a long while; -and Brenda Troilshe had known Mordaunt Merton ever since they were -children; but then he seems to have been an estimable young man; and -Minna was still more deeply in love with Cleveland, who was a stranger. -Waverley was new to Flora MacIvor; but then she did not fall in love -with him. And there are Olivia and Sophia Primrose, and Corinnethey -may be said to have fallen in love with new men. Altogether, my -experience is rather mixed. +CHAPTER 125. The Log and Line. -Mary looked up with some roguishness at Fred, and that look of hers was -very dear to him, though the eyes were nothing more than clear windows -where observation sat laughingly. He was certainly an affectionate -fellow, and as he had grown from boy to man, he had grown in love with -his old playmate, notwithstanding that share in the higher education of -the country which had exalted his views of rank and income. +CHAPTER 126. The Life-Buoy. -When a man is not loved, it is no use for him to say that he could be -a better fellowcould do anythingI mean, if he were sure of being -loved in return. +CHAPTER 127. The Deck. -Not of the least use in the world for him to say he _could_ be better. -Might, could, wouldthey are contemptible auxiliaries. +CHAPTER 128. The Pequod Meets The Rachel. -I dont see how a man is to be good for much unless he has some one -woman to love him dearly. +CHAPTER 129. The Cabin. -I think the goodness should come before he expects that. +CHAPTER 130. The Hat. -You know better, Mary. Women dont love men for their goodness. +CHAPTER 131. The Pequod Meets The Delight. -Perhaps not. But if they love them, they never think them bad. +CHAPTER 132. The Symphony. -It is hardly fair to say I am bad. +CHAPTER 133.

The Chase.Third Day. -If I did love you, I would not marry you: I would certainly not -promise ever to marry you. +Epilogue -I think that is quite wicked, Mary. If you love me, you ought to -promise to marry me. -On the contrary, I think it would be wicked in me to marry you even if -I did love you. -You mean, just as I am, without any means of maintaining a wife. Of -course: I am but three-and-twenty. -In that last point you will alter. But I am not so sure of any other -alteration. My father says an idle man ought not to exist, much less, -be married. +Original Transcribers Notes: -Then I am to blow my brains out? -No; on the whole I should think you would do better to pass your -examination. I have heard Mr. Farebrother say it is disgracefully -easy. - -That is all very fine. Anything is easy to him. Not that cleverness -has anything to do with it. I am ten times cleverer than many men who -pass. - -Dear me! said Mary, unable to repress her sarcasm; that accounts for -the curates like Mr. Crowse. Divide your cleverness by ten, and the -quotientdear me!is able to take a degree. But that only shows you are -ten times more idle than the others. - -Well, if I did pass, you would not want me to go into the Church? - -That is not the questionwhat I want you to do. You have a conscience -of your own, I suppose. There! there is Mr. Lydgate. I must go and tell -my uncle. - -Mary, said Fred, seizing her hand as she rose; if you will not give -me some encouragement, I shall get worse instead of better. - -I will not give you any encouragement, said Mary, reddening. Your -friends would dislike it, and so would mine. My father would think it a -disgrace to me if I accepted a man who got into debt, and would not -work! - -Fred was stung, and released her hand. She walked to the door, but -there she turned and said: Fred, you have always been so good, so -generous to me. I am not ungrateful. But never speak to me in that way -again. - -Very well, said Fred, sulkily, taking up his hat and whip. His -complexion showed patches of pale pink and dead white. Like many a -plucked idle young gentleman, he was thoroughly in love, and with a -plain girl, who had no money! But having Mr. Featherstones land in the -background, and a persuasion that, let Mary say what she would, she -really did care for him, Fred was not utterly in despair. - -When he got home, he gave four of the twenties to his mother, asking -her to keep them for him. I dont want to spend that money, mother. I -want it to pay a debt with. So keep it safe away from my fingers. - -Bless you, my dear, said Mrs. Vincy. She doted on her eldest son and -her youngest girl (a child of six), whom others thought her two -naughtiest children. The mothers eyes are not always deceived in their -partiality: she at least can best judge who is the tender, -filial-hearted child. And Fred was certainly very fond of his mother. -Perhaps it was his fondness for another person also that made him -particularly anxious to take some security against his own liability to -spend the hundred pounds. For the creditor to whom he owed a hundred -and sixty held a firmer security in the shape of a bill signed by -Marys father. - - - - -CHAPTER XV. - -Black eyes you have left, you say, - Blue eyes fail to draw you; -Yet you seem more rapt to-day, - Than of old we saw you. - -Oh, I track the fairest fair - Through new haunts of pleasure; -Footprints here and echoes there - Guide me to my treasure: - -Lo! she turnsimmortal youth - Wrought to mortal stature, -Fresh as starlights aged truth - Many-namd Nature! - - -A great historian, as he insisted on calling himself, who had the -happiness to be dead a hundred and twenty years ago, and so to take his -place among the colossi whose huge legs our living pettiness is -observed to walk under, glories in his copious remarks and digressions -as the least imitable part of his work, and especially in those initial -chapters to the successive books of his history, where he seems to -bring his armchair to the proscenium and chat with us in all the lusty -ease of his fine English. But Fielding lived when the days were longer -(for time, like money, is measured by our needs), when summer -afternoons were spacious, and the clock ticked slowly in the winter -evenings. We belated historians must not linger after his example; and -if we did so, it is probable that our chat would be thin and eager, as -if delivered from a campstool in a parrot-house. I at least have so -much to do in unraveling certain human lots, and seeing how they were -woven and interwoven, that all the light I can command must be -concentrated on this particular web, and not dispersed over that -tempting range of relevancies called the universe. - -At present I have to make the new settler Lydgate better known to any -one interested in him than he could possibly be even to those who had -seen the most of him since his arrival in Middlemarch. For surely all -must admit that a man may be puffed and belauded, envied, ridiculed, -counted upon as a tool and fallen in love with, or at least selected as -a future husband, and yet remain virtually unknownknown merely as a -cluster of signs for his neighbors false suppositions. There was a -general impression, however, that Lydgate was not altogether a common -country doctor, and in Middlemarch at that time such an impression was -significant of great things being expected from him. For everybodys -family doctor was remarkably clever, and was understood to have -immeasurable skill in the management and training of the most skittish -or vicious diseases. The evidence of his cleverness was of the higher -intuitive order, lying in his lady-patients immovable conviction, and -was unassailable by any objection except that their intuitions were -opposed by others equally strong; each lady who saw medical truth in -Wrench and the strengthening treatment regarding Toller and the -lowering system as medical perdition. For the heroic times of copious -bleeding and blistering had not yet departed, still less the times of -thorough-going theory, when disease in general was called by some bad -name, and treated accordingly without shilly-shallyas if, for example, -it were to be called insurrection, which must not be fired on with -blank-cartridge, but have its blood drawn at once. The strengtheners -and the lowerers were all clever men in somebodys opinion, which is -really as much as can be said for any living talents. Nobodys -imagination had gone so far as to conjecture that Mr. Lydgate could -know as much as Dr. Sprague and Dr. Minchin, the two physicians, who -alone could offer any hope when danger was extreme, and when the -smallest hope was worth a guinea. Still, I repeat, there was a general -impression that Lydgate was something rather more uncommon than any -general practitioner in Middlemarch. And this was true. He was but -seven-and-twenty, an age at which many men are not quite commonat -which they are hopeful of achievement, resolute in avoidance, thinking -that Mammon shall never put a bit in their mouths and get astride their -backs, but rather that Mammon, if they have anything to do with him, -shall draw their chariot. - -He had been left an orphan when he was fresh from a public school. His -father, a military man, had made but little provision for three -children, and when the boy Tertius asked to have a medical education, -it seemed easier to his guardians to grant his request by apprenticing -him to a country practitioner than to make any objections on the score -of family dignity. He was one of the rarer lads who early get a decided -bent and make up their minds that there is something particular in life -which they would like to do for its own sake, and not because their -fathers did it. Most of us who turn to any subject with love remember -some morning or evening hour when we got on a high stool to reach down -an untried volume, or sat with parted lips listening to a new talker, -or for very lack of books began to listen to the voices within, as the -first traceable beginning of our love. Something of that sort happened -to Lydgate. He was a quick fellow, and when hot from play, would toss -himself in a corner, and in five minutes be deep in any sort of book -that he could lay his hands on: if it were Rasselas or Gulliver, so -much the better, but Baileys Dictionary would do, or the Bible with -the Apocrypha in it. Something he must read, when he was not riding the -pony, or running and hunting, or listening to the talk of men. All this -was true of him at ten years of age; he had then read through Chrysal, -or the Adventures of a Guinea, which was neither milk for babes, nor -any chalky mixture meant to pass for milk, and it had already occurred -to him that books were stuff, and that life was stupid. His school -studies had not much modified that opinion, for though he did his -classics and mathematics, he was not pre-eminent in them. It was said -of him, that Lydgate could do anything he liked, but he had certainly -not yet liked to do anything remarkable. He was a vigorous animal with -a ready understanding, but no spark had yet kindled in him an -intellectual passion; knowledge seemed to him a very superficial -affair, easily mastered: judging from the conversation of his elders, -he had apparently got already more than was necessary for mature life. -Probably this was not an exceptional result of expensive teaching at -that period of short-waisted coats, and other fashions which have not -yet recurred. But, one vacation, a wet day sent him to the small home -library to hunt once more for a book which might have some freshness -for him: in vain! unless, indeed, he took down a dusty row of volumes -with gray-paper backs and dingy labelsthe volumes of an old -Cyclopaedia which he had never disturbed. It would at least be a -novelty to disturb them. They were on the highest shelf, and he stood -on a chair to get them down. But he opened the volume which he first -took from the shelf: somehow, one is apt to read in a makeshift -attitude, just where it might seem inconvenient to do so. The page he -opened on was under the head of Anatomy, and the first passage that -drew his eyes was on the valves of the heart. He was not much -acquainted with valves of any sort, but he knew that valvae were -folding-doors, and through this crevice came a sudden light startling -him with his first vivid notion of finely adjusted mechanism in the -human frame. A liberal education had of course left him free to read -the indecent passages in the school classics, but beyond a general -sense of secrecy and obscenity in connection with his internal -structure, had left his imagination quite unbiassed, so that for -anything he knew his brains lay in small bags at his temples, and he -had no more thought of representing to himself how his blood circulated -than how paper served instead of gold. But the moment of vocation had -come, and before he got down from his chair, the world was made new to -him by a presentiment of endless processes filling the vast spaces -planked out of his sight by that wordy ignorance which he had supposed -to be knowledge. From that hour Lydgate felt the growth of an -intellectual passion. - -We are not afraid of telling over and over again how a man comes to -fall in love with a woman and be wedded to her, or else be fatally -parted from her. Is it due to excess of poetry or of stupidity that we -are never weary of describing what King James called a womans makdom -and her fairnesse, never weary of listening to the twanging of the old -Troubadour strings, and are comparatively uninterested in that other -kind of makdom and fairnesse which must be wooed with industrious -thought and patient renunciation of small desires? In the story of this -passion, too, the development varies: sometimes it is the glorious -marriage, sometimes frustration and final parting. And not seldom the -catastrophe is bound up with the other passion, sung by the -Troubadours. For in the multitude of middle-aged men who go about their -vocations in a daily course determined for them much in the same way as -the tie of their cravats, there is always a good number who once meant -to shape their own deeds and alter the world a little. The story of -their coming to be shapen after the average and fit to be packed by the -gross, is hardly ever told even in their consciousness; for perhaps -their ardor in generous unpaid toil cooled as imperceptibly as the -ardor of other youthful loves, till one day their earlier self walked -like a ghost in its old home and made the new furniture ghastly. -Nothing in the world more subtle than the process of their gradual -change! In the beginning they inhaled it unknowingly: you and I may -have sent some of our breath towards infecting them, when we uttered -our conforming falsities or drew our silly conclusions: or perhaps it -came with the vibrations from a womans glance. - -Lydgate did not mean to be one of those failures, and there was the -better hope of him because his scientific interest soon took the form -of a professional enthusiasm: he had a youthful belief in his -bread-winning work, not to be stifled by that initiation in makeshift -called his prentice days; and he carried to his studies in London, -Edinburgh, and Paris, the conviction that the medical profession as it -might be was the finest in the world; presenting the most perfect -interchange between science and art; offering the most direct alliance -between intellectual conquest and the social good. Lydgates nature -demanded this combination: he was an emotional creature, with a -flesh-and-blood sense of fellowship which withstood all the -abstractions of special study. He cared not only for cases, but for -John and Elizabeth, especially Elizabeth. - -There was another attraction in his profession: it wanted reform, and -gave a man an opportunity for some indignant resolve to reject its -venal decorations and other humbug, and to be the possessor of genuine -though undemanded qualifications. He went to study in Paris with the -determination that when he came home again he would settle in some -provincial town as a general practitioner, and resist the irrational -severance between medical and surgical knowledge in the interest of his -own scientific pursuits, as well as of the general advance: he would -keep away from the range of London intrigues, jealousies, and social -truckling, and win celebrity, however slowly, as Jenner had done, by -the independent value of his work. For it must be remembered that this -was a dark period; and in spite of venerable colleges which used great -efforts to secure purity of knowledge by making it scarce, and to -exclude error by a rigid exclusiveness in relation to fees and -appointments, it happened that very ignorant young gentlemen were -promoted in town, and many more got a legal right to practise over -large areas in the country. Also, the high standard held up to the -public mind by the College of Physicians, which gave its peculiar -sanction to the expensive and highly rarefied medical instruction -obtained by graduates of Oxford and Cambridge, did not hinder quackery -from having an excellent time of it; for since professional practice -chiefly consisted in giving a great many drugs, the public inferred -that it might be better off with more drugs still, if they could only -be got cheaply, and hence swallowed large cubic measures of physic -prescribed by unscrupulous ignorance which had taken no degrees. -Considering that statistics had not yet embraced a calculation as to -the number of ignorant or canting doctors which absolutely must exist -in the teeth of all changes, it seemed to Lydgate that a change in the -units was the most direct mode of changing the numbers. He meant to be -a unit who would make a certain amount of difference towards that -spreading change which would one day tell appreciably upon the -averages, and in the mean time have the pleasure of making an -advantageous difference to the viscera of his own patients. But he did -not simply aim at a more genuine kind of practice than was common. He -was ambitious of a wider effect: he was fired with the possibility that -he might work out the proof of an anatomical conception and make a link -in the chain of discovery. - -Does it seem incongruous to you that a Middlemarch surgeon should dream -of himself as a discoverer? Most of us, indeed, know little of the -great originators until they have been lifted up among the -constellations and already rule our fates. But that Herschel, for -example, who broke the barriers of the heavensdid he not once play a -provincial church-organ, and give music-lessons to stumbling pianists? -Each of those Shining Ones had to walk on the earth among neighbors who -perhaps thought much more of his gait and his garments than of anything -which was to give him a title to everlasting fame: each of them had his -little local personal history sprinkled with small temptations and -sordid cares, which made the retarding friction of his course towards -final companionship with the immortals. Lydgate was not blind to the -dangers of such friction, but he had plenty of confidence in his -resolution to avoid it as far as possible: being seven-and-twenty, he -felt himself experienced. And he was not going to have his vanities -provoked by contact with the showy worldly successes of the capital, -but to live among people who could hold no rivalry with that pursuit of -a great idea which was to be a twin object with the assiduous practice -of his profession. There was fascination in the hope that the two -purposes would illuminate each other: the careful observation and -inference which was his daily work, the use of the lens to further his -judgment in special cases, would further his thought as an instrument -of larger inquiry. Was not this the typical pre-eminence of his -profession? He would be a good Middlemarch doctor, and by that very -means keep himself in the track of far-reaching investigation. On one -point he may fairly claim approval at this particular stage of his -career: he did not mean to imitate those philanthropic models who make -a profit out of poisonous pickles to support themselves while they are -exposing adulteration, or hold shares in a gambling-hell that they may -have leisure to represent the cause of public morality. He intended to -begin in his own case some particular reforms which were quite -certainly within his reach, and much less of a problem than the -demonstrating of an anatomical conception. One of these reforms was to -act stoutly on the strength of a recent legal decision, and simply -prescribe, without dispensing drugs or taking percentage from -druggists. This was an innovation for one who had chosen to adopt the -style of general practitioner in a country town, and would be felt as -offensive criticism by his professional brethren. But Lydgate meant to -innovate in his treatment also, and he was wise enough to see that the -best security for his practising honestly according to his belief was -to get rid of systematic temptations to the contrary. - -Perhaps that was a more cheerful time for observers and theorizers than -the present; we are apt to think it the finest era of the world when -America was beginning to be discovered, when a bold sailor, even if he -were wrecked, might alight on a new kingdom; and about 1829 the dark -territories of Pathology were a fine America for a spirited young -adventurer. Lydgate was ambitious above all to contribute towards -enlarging the scientific, rational basis of his profession. The more he -became interested in special questions of disease, such as the nature -of fever or fevers, the more keenly he felt the need for that -fundamental knowledge of structure which just at the beginning of the -century had been illuminated by the brief and glorious career of -Bichat, who died when he was only one-and-thirty, but, like another -Alexander, left a realm large enough for many heirs. That great -Frenchman first carried out the conception that living bodies, -fundamentally considered, are not associations of organs which can be -understood by studying them first apart, and then as it were federally; -but must be regarded as consisting of certain primary webs or tissues, -out of which the various organsbrain, heart, lungs, and so onare -compacted, as the various accommodations of a house are built up in -various proportions of wood, iron, stone, brick, zinc, and the rest, -each material having its peculiar composition and proportions. No man, -one sees, can understand and estimate the entire structure or its -partswhat are its frailties and what its repairs, without knowing the -nature of the materials. And the conception wrought out by Bichat, with -his detailed study of the different tissues, acted necessarily on -medical questions as the turning of gas-light would act on a dim, -oil-lit street, showing new connections and hitherto hidden facts of -structure which must be taken into account in considering the symptoms -of maladies and the action of medicaments. But results which depend on -human conscience and intelligence work slowly, and now at the end of -1829, most medical practice was still strutting or shambling along the -old paths, and there was still scientific work to be done which might -have seemed to be a direct sequence of Bichats. This great seer did -not go beyond the consideration of the tissues as ultimate facts in the -living organism, marking the limit of anatomical analysis; but it was -open to another mind to say, have not these structures some common -basis from which they have all started, as your sarsnet, gauze, net, -satin, and velvet from the raw cocoon? Here would be another light, as -of oxy-hydrogen, showing the very grain of things, and revising all -former explanations. Of this sequence to Bichats work, already -vibrating along many currents of the European mind, Lydgate was -enamoured; he longed to demonstrate the more intimate relations of -living structure, and help to define mens thought more accurately -after the true order. The work had not yet been done, but only prepared -for those who knew how to use the preparation. What was the primitive -tissue? In that way Lydgate put the questionnot quite in the way -required by the awaiting answer; but such missing of the right word -befalls many seekers. And he counted on quiet intervals to be -watchfully seized, for taking up the threads of investigationon many -hints to be won from diligent application, not only of the scalpel, but -of the microscope, which research had begun to use again with new -enthusiasm of reliance. Such was Lydgates plan of his future: to do -good small work for Middlemarch, and great work for the world. - -He was certainly a happy fellow at this time: to be seven-and-twenty, -without any fixed vices, with a generous resolution that his action -should be beneficent, and with ideas in his brain that made life -interesting quite apart from the cultus of horseflesh and other mystic -rites of costly observance, which the eight hundred pounds left him -after buying his practice would certainly not have gone far in paying -for. He was at a starting-point which makes many a mans career a fine -subject for betting, if there were any gentlemen given to that -amusement who could appreciate the complicated probabilities of an -arduous purpose, with all the possible thwartings and furtherings of -circumstance, all the niceties of inward balance, by which a man swims -and makes his point or else is carried headlong. The risk would remain -even with close knowledge of Lydgates character; for character too is -a process and an unfolding. The man was still in the making, as much as -the Middlemarch doctor and immortal discoverer, and there were both -virtues and faults capable of shrinking or expanding. The faults will -not, I hope, be a reason for the withdrawal of your interest in him. -Among our valued friends is there not some one or other who is a little -too self-confident and disdainful; whose distinguished mind is a little -spotted with commonness; who is a little pinched here and protuberant -there with native prejudices; or whose better energies are liable to -lapse down the wrong channel under the influence of transient -solicitations? All these things might be alleged against Lydgate, but -then, they are the periphrases of a polite preacher, who talks of Adam, -and would not like to mention anything painful to the pew-renters. The -particular faults from which these delicate generalities are distilled -have distinguishable physiognomies, diction, accent, and grimaces; -filling up parts in very various dramas. Our vanities differ as our -noses do: all conceit is not the same conceit, but varies in -correspondence with the minutiae of mental make in which one of us -differs from another. Lydgates conceit was of the arrogant sort, never -simpering, never impertinent, but massive in its claims and -benevolently contemptuous. He would do a great deal for noodles, being -sorry for them, and feeling quite sure that they could have no power -over him: he had thought of joining the Saint Simonians when he was in -Paris, in order to turn them against some of their own doctrines. All -his faults were marked by kindred traits, and were those of a man who -had a fine baritone, whose clothes hung well upon him, and who even in -his ordinary gestures had an air of inbred distinction. Where then lay -the spots of commonness? says a young lady enamoured of that careless -grace. How could there be any commonness in a man so well-bred, so -ambitious of social distinction, so generous and unusual in his views -of social duty? As easily as there may be stupidity in a man of genius -if you take him unawares on the wrong subject, or as many a man who has -the best will to advance the social millennium might be ill-inspired in -imagining its lighter pleasures; unable to go beyond Offenbachs music, -or the brilliant punning in the last burlesque. Lydgates spots of -commonness lay in the complexion of his prejudices, which, in spite of -noble intention and sympathy, were half of them such as are found in -ordinary men of the world: that distinction of mind which belonged to -his intellectual ardor, did not penetrate his feeling and judgment -about furniture, or women, or the desirability of its being known -(without his telling) that he was better born than other country -surgeons. He did not mean to think of furniture at present; but -whenever he did so it was to be feared that neither biology nor schemes -of reform would lift him above the vulgarity of feeling that there -would be an incompatibility in his furniture not being of the best. - -As to women, he had once already been drawn headlong by impetuous -folly, which he meant to be final, since marriage at some distant -period would of course not be impetuous. For those who want to be -acquainted with Lydgate it will be good to know what was that case of -impetuous folly, for it may stand as an example of the fitful swerving -of passion to which he was prone, together with the chivalrous kindness -which helped to make him morally lovable. The story can be told without -many words. It happened when he was studying in Paris, and just at the -time when, over and above his other work, he was occupied with some -galvanic experiments. One evening, tired with his experimenting, and -not being able to elicit the facts he needed, he left his frogs and -rabbits to some repose under their trying and mysterious dispensation -of unexplained shocks, and went to finish his evening at the theatre of -the Porte Saint Martin, where there was a melodrama which he had -already seen several times; attracted, not by the ingenious work of the -collaborating authors, but by an actress whose part it was to stab her -lover, mistaking him for the evil-designing duke of the piece. Lydgate -was in love with this actress, as a man is in love with a woman whom he -never expects to speak to. She was a Provencale, with dark eyes, a -Greek profile, and rounded majestic form, having that sort of beauty -which carries a sweet matronliness even in youth, and her voice was a -soft cooing. She had but lately come to Paris, and bore a virtuous -reputation, her husband acting with her as the unfortunate lover. It -was her acting which was no better than it should be, but the public -was satisfied. Lydgates only relaxation now was to go and look at this -woman, just as he might have thrown himself under the breath of the -sweet south on a bank of violets for a while, without prejudice to his -galvanism, to which he would presently return. But this evening the old -drama had a new catastrophe. At the moment when the heroine was to act -the stabbing of her lover, and he was to fall gracefully, the wife -veritably stabbed her husband, who fell as death willed. A wild shriek -pierced the house, and the Provencale fell swooning: a shriek and a -swoon were demanded by the play, but the swooning too was real this -time. Lydgate leaped and climbed, he hardly knew how, on to the stage, -and was active in help, making the acquaintance of his heroine by -finding a contusion on her head and lifting her gently in his arms. -Paris rang with the story of this death:was it a murder? Some of the -actresss warmest admirers were inclined to believe in her guilt, and -liked her the better for it (such was the taste of those times); but -Lydgate was not one of these. He vehemently contended for her -innocence, and the remote impersonal passion for her beauty which he -had felt before, had passed now into personal devotion, and tender -thought of her lot. The notion of murder was absurd: no motive was -discoverable, the young couple being understood to dote on each other; -and it was not unprecedented that an accidental slip of the foot should -have brought these grave consequences. The legal investigation ended in -Madame Laures release. Lydgate by this time had had many interviews -with her, and found her more and more adorable. She talked little; but -that was an additional charm. She was melancholy, and seemed grateful; -her presence was enough, like that of the evening light. Lydgate was -madly anxious about her affection, and jealous lest any other man than -himself should win it and ask her to marry him. But instead of -reopening her engagement at the Porte Saint Martin, where she would -have been all the more popular for the fatal episode, she left Paris -without warning, forsaking her little court of admirers. Perhaps no one -carried inquiry far except Lydgate, who felt that all science had come -to a stand-still while he imagined the unhappy Laure, stricken by -ever-wandering sorrow, herself wandering, and finding no faithful -comforter. Hidden actresses, however, are not so difficult to find as -some other hidden facts, and it was not long before Lydgate gathered -indications that Laure had taken the route to Lyons. He found her at -last acting with great success at Avignon under the same name, looking -more majestic than ever as a forsaken wife carrying her child in her -arms. He spoke to her after the play, was received with the usual -quietude which seemed to him beautiful as clear depths of water, and -obtained leave to visit her the next day; when he was bent on telling -her that he adored her, and on asking her to marry him. He knew that -this was like the sudden impulse of a madmanincongruous even with his -habitual foibles. No matter! It was the one thing which he was resolved -to do. He had two selves within him apparently, and they must learn to -accommodate each other and bear reciprocal impediments. Strange, that -some of us, with quick alternate vision, see beyond our infatuations, -and even while we rave on the heights, behold the wide plain where our -persistent self pauses and awaits us. - -To have approached Laure with any suit that was not reverentially -tender would have been simply a contradiction of his whole feeling -towards her. - -You have come all the way from Paris to find me? she said to him the -next day, sitting before him with folded arms, and looking at him with -eyes that seemed to wonder as an untamed ruminating animal wonders. -Are all Englishmen like that? - -I came because I could not live without trying to see you. You are -lonely; I love you; I want you to consent to be my wife; I will wait, -but I want you to promise that you will marry meno one else. - -Laure looked at him in silence with a melancholy radiance from under -her grand eyelids, until he was full of rapturous certainty, and knelt -close to her knees. - -I will tell you something, she said, in her cooing way, keeping her -arms folded. My foot really slipped. - -I know, I know, said Lydgate, deprecatingly. It was a fatal -accidenta dreadful stroke of calamity that bound me to you the more. - -Again Laure paused a little and then said, slowly, _I meant to do -it._ - -Lydgate, strong man as he was, turned pale and trembled: moments seemed -to pass before he rose and stood at a distance from her. - -There was a secret, then, he said at last, even vehemently. He was -brutal to you: you hated him. - -No! he wearied me; he was too fond: he would live in Paris, and not in -my country; that was not agreeable to me. - -Great God! said Lydgate, in a groan of horror. And you planned to -murder him? - -I did not plan: it came to me in the play_I meant to do it._ - -Lydgate stood mute, and unconsciously pressed his hat on while he -looked at her. He saw this womanthe first to whom he had given his -young adorationamid the throng of stupid criminals. - -You are a good young man, she said. But I do not like husbands. I -will never have another. - -Three days afterwards Lydgate was at his galvanism again in his Paris -chambers, believing that illusions were at an end for him. He was saved -from hardening effects by the abundant kindness of his heart and his -belief that human life might be made better. But he had more reason -than ever for trusting his judgment, now that it was so experienced; -and henceforth he would take a strictly scientific view of woman, -entertaining no expectations but such as were justified beforehand. - -No one in Middlemarch was likely to have such a notion of Lydgates -past as has here been faintly shadowed, and indeed the respectable -townsfolk there were not more given than mortals generally to any eager -attempt at exactness in the representation to themselves of what did -not come under their own senses. Not only young virgins of that town, -but gray-bearded men also, were often in haste to conjecture how a new -acquaintance might be wrought into their purposes, contented with very -vague knowledge as to the way in which life had been shaping him for -that instrumentality. Middlemarch, in fact, counted on swallowing -Lydgate and assimilating him very comfortably. - - - - -CHAPTER XVI. - -All that in woman is adored - In thy fair self I find -For the whole sex can but afford - The handsome and the kind. -SIR CHARLES SEDLEY. - - -The question whether Mr. Tyke should be appointed as salaried chaplain -to the hospital was an exciting topic to the Middlemarchers; and -Lydgate heard it discussed in a way that threw much light on the power -exercised in the town by Mr. Bulstrode. The banker was evidently a -ruler, but there was an opposition party, and even among his supporters -there were some who allowed it to be seen that their support was a -compromise, and who frankly stated their impression that the general -scheme of things, and especially the casualties of trade, required you -to hold a candle to the devil. - -Mr. Bulstrodes power was not due simply to his being a country banker, -who knew the financial secrets of most traders in the town and could -touch the springs of their credit; it was fortified by a beneficence -that was at once ready and severeready to confer obligations, and -severe in watching the result. He had gathered, as an industrious man -always at his post, a chief share in administering the town charities, -and his private charities were both minute and abundant. He would take -a great deal of pains about apprenticing Tegg the shoemakers son, and -he would watch over Teggs church-going; he would defend Mrs. Strype -the washerwoman against Stubbss unjust exaction on the score of her -drying-ground, and he would himself scrutinize a calumny against Mrs. -Strype. His private minor loans were numerous, but he would inquire -strictly into the circumstances both before and after. In this way a -man gathers a domain in his neighbors hope and fear as well as -gratitude; and power, when once it has got into that subtle region, -propagates itself, spreading out of all proportion to its external -means. It was a principle with Mr. Bulstrode to gain as much power as -possible, that he might use it for the glory of God. He went through a -great deal of spiritual conflict and inward argument in order to adjust -his motives, and make clear to himself what Gods glory required. But, -as we have seen, his motives were not always rightly appreciated. There -were many crass minds in Middlemarch whose reflective scales could only -weigh things in the lump; and they had a strong suspicion that since -Mr. Bulstrode could not enjoy life in their fashion, eating and -drinking so little as he did, and worreting himself about everything, -he must have a sort of vampires feast in the sense of mastery. - -The subject of the chaplaincy came up at Mr. Vincys table when Lydgate -was dining there, and the family connection with Mr. Bulstrode did not, -he observed, prevent some freedom of remark even on the part of the -host himself, though his reasons against the proposed arrangement -turned entirely on his objection to Mr. Tykes sermons, which were all -doctrine, and his preference for Mr. Farebrother, whose sermons were -free from that taint. Mr. Vincy liked well enough the notion of the -chaplains having a salary, supposing it were given to Farebrother, who -was as good a little fellow as ever breathed, and the best preacher -anywhere, and companionable too. - -What line shall you take, then? said Mr. Chichely, the coroner, a -great coursing comrade of Mr. Vincys. - -Oh, Im precious glad Im not one of the Directors now. I shall vote -for referring the matter to the Directors and the Medical Board -together. I shall roll some of my responsibility on your shoulders, -Doctor, said Mr. Vincy, glancing first at Dr. Sprague, the senior -physician of the town, and then at Lydgate who sat opposite. You -medical gentlemen must consult which sort of black draught you will -prescribe, eh, Mr. Lydgate? - -I know little of either, said Lydgate; but in general, appointments -are apt to be made too much a question of personal liking. The fittest -man for a particular post is not always the best fellow or the most -agreeable. Sometimes, if you wanted to get a reform, your only way -would be to pension off the good fellows whom everybody is fond of, and -put them out of the question. - -Dr. Sprague, who was considered the physician of most weight, though -Dr. Minchin was usually said to have more penetration, divested his -large heavy face of all expression, and looked at his wine-glass while -Lydgate was speaking. Whatever was not problematical and suspected -about this young manfor example, a certain showiness as to foreign -ideas, and a disposition to unsettle what had been settled and -forgotten by his elderswas positively unwelcome to a physician whose -standing had been fixed thirty years before by a treatise on -Meningitis, of which at least one copy marked own was bound in calf. -For my part I have some fellow-feeling with Dr. Sprague: ones -self-satisfaction is an untaxed kind of property which it is very -unpleasant to find deprecated. - -Lydgates remark, however, did not meet the sense of the company. Mr. -Vincy said, that if he could have _his_ way, he would not put -disagreeable fellows anywhere. - -Hang your reforms! said Mr. Chichely. Theres no greater humbug in -the world. You never hear of a reform, but it means some trick to put -in new men. I hope you are not one of the Lancets men, Mr. -Lydgatewanting to take the coronership out of the hands of the legal -profession: your words appear to point that way. - -I disapprove of Wakley, interposed Dr. Sprague, no man more: he is -an ill-intentioned fellow, who would sacrifice the respectability of -the profession, which everybody knows depends on the London Colleges, -for the sake of getting some notoriety for himself. There are men who -dont mind about being kicked blue if they can only get talked about. -But Wakley is right sometimes, the Doctor added, judicially. I could -mention one or two points in which Wakley is in the right. - -Oh, well, said Mr. Chichely, I blame no man for standing up in favor -of his own cloth; but, coming to argument, I should like to know how a -coroner is to judge of evidence if he has not had a legal training? - -In my opinion, said Lydgate, legal training only makes a man more -incompetent in questions that require knowledge of another kind. People -talk about evidence as if it could really be weighed in scales by a -blind Justice. No man can judge what is good evidence on any particular -subject, unless he knows that subject well. A lawyer is no better than -an old woman at a post-mortem examination. How is he to know the action -of a poison? You might as well say that scanning verse will teach you -to scan the potato crops. - -You are aware, I suppose, that it is not the coroners business to -conduct the _post-mortem_, but only to take the evidence of the medical -witness? said Mr. Chichely, with some scorn. - -Who is often almost as ignorant as the coroner himself, said Lydgate. -Questions of medical jurisprudence ought not to be left to the chance -of decent knowledge in a medical witness, and the coroner ought not to -be a man who will believe that strychnine will destroy the coats of the -stomach if an ignorant practitioner happens to tell him so. - -Lydgate had really lost sight of the fact that Mr. Chichely was his -Majestys coroner, and ended innocently with the question, Dont you -agree with me, Dr. Sprague? - -To a certain extentwith regard to populous districts, and in the -metropolis, said the Doctor. But I hope it will be long before this -part of the country loses the services of my friend Chichely, even -though it might get the best man in our profession to succeed him. I am -sure Vincy will agree with me. - -Yes, yes, give me a coroner who is a good coursing man, said Mr. -Vincy, jovially. And in my opinion, youre safest with a lawyer. -Nobody can know everything. Most things are visitation of God. And as -to poisoning, why, what you want to know is the law. Come, shall we -join the ladies? - -Lydgates private opinion was that Mr. Chichely might be the very -coroner without bias as to the coats of the stomach, but he had not -meant to be personal. This was one of the difficulties of moving in -good Middlemarch society: it was dangerous to insist on knowledge as a -qualification for any salaried office. Fred Vincy had called Lydgate a -prig, and now Mr. Chichely was inclined to call him prick-eared; -especially when, in the drawing-room, he seemed to be making himself -eminently agreeable to Rosamond, whom he had easily monopolized in a -_tte--tte_, since Mrs. Vincy herself sat at the tea-table. She -resigned no domestic function to her daughter; and the matrons -blooming good-natured face, with the two volatile pink strings floating -from her fine throat, and her cheery manners to husband and children, -was certainly among the great attractions of the Vincy -houseattractions which made it all the easier to fall in love with the -daughter. The tinge of unpretentious, inoffensive vulgarity in Mrs. -Vincy gave more effect to Rosamonds refinement, which was beyond what -Lydgate had expected. - -Certainly, small feet and perfectly turned shoulders aid the impression -of refined manners, and the right thing said seems quite astonishingly -right when it is accompanied with exquisite curves of lip and eyelid. -And Rosamond could say the right thing; for she was clever with that -sort of cleverness which catches every tone except the humorous. -Happily she never attempted to joke, and this perhaps was the most -decisive mark of her cleverness. - -She and Lydgate readily got into conversation. He regretted that he had -not heard her sing the other day at Stone Court. The only pleasure he -allowed himself during the latter part of his stay in Paris was to go -and hear music. - -You have studied music, probably? said Rosamond. - -No, I know the notes of many birds, and I know many melodies by ear; -but the music that I dont know at all, and have no notion about, -delights meaffects me. How stupid the world is that it does not make -more use of such a pleasure within its reach! - -Yes, and you will find Middlemarch very tuneless. There are hardly any -good musicians. I only know two gentlemen who sing at all well. - -I suppose it is the fashion to sing comic songs in a rhythmic way, -leaving you to fancy the tunevery much as if it were tapped on a -drum? - -Ah, you have heard Mr. Bowyer, said Rosamond, with one of her rare -smiles. But we are speaking very ill of our neighbors. - -Lydgate was almost forgetting that he must carry on the conversation, -in thinking how lovely this creature was, her garment seeming to be -made out of the faintest blue sky, herself so immaculately blond, as if -the petals of some gigantic flower had just opened and disclosed her; -and yet with this infantine blondness showing so much ready, -self-possessed grace. Since he had had the memory of Laure, Lydgate had -lost all taste for large-eyed silence: the divine cow no longer -attracted him, and Rosamond was her very opposite. But he recalled -himself. - -You will let me hear some music to-night, I hope. - -I will let you hear my attempts, if you like, said Rosamond. Papa is -sure to insist on my singing. But I shall tremble before you, who have -heard the best singers in Paris. I have heard very little: I have only -once been to London. But our organist at St. Peters is a good -musician, and I go on studying with him. - -Tell me what you saw in London. - -Very little. (A more naive girl would have said, Oh, everything! -But Rosamond knew better.) A few of the ordinary sights, such as raw -country girls are always taken to. - -Do you call yourself a raw country girl? said Lydgate, looking at her -with an involuntary emphasis of admiration, which made Rosamond blush -with pleasure. But she remained simply serious, turned her long neck a -little, and put up her hand to touch her wondrous hair-plaitsan -habitual gesture with her as pretty as any movements of a kittens paw. -Not that Rosamond was in the least like a kitten: she was a sylph -caught young and educated at Mrs. Lemons. - -I assure you my mind is raw, she said immediately; I pass at -Middlemarch. I am not afraid of talking to our old neighbors. But I am -really afraid of you. - -An accomplished woman almost always knows more than we men, though her -knowledge is of a different sort. I am sure you could teach me a -thousand thingsas an exquisite bird could teach a bear if there were -any common language between them. Happily, there is a common language -between women and men, and so the bears can get taught. - -Ah, there is Fred beginning to strum! I must go and hinder him from -jarring all your nerves, said Rosamond, moving to the other side of -the room, where Fred having opened the piano, at his fathers desire, -that Rosamond might give them some music, was parenthetically -performing Cherry Ripe! with one hand. Able men who have passed their -examinations will do these things sometimes, not less than the plucked -Fred. - -Fred, pray defer your practising till to-morrow; you will make Mr. -Lydgate ill, said Rosamond. He has an ear. - -Fred laughed, and went on with his tune to the end. - -Rosamond turned to Lydgate, smiling gently, and said, You perceive, -the bears will not always be taught. - -Now then, Rosy! said Fred, springing from the stool and twisting it -upward for her, with a hearty expectation of enjoyment. Some good -rousing tunes first. - -Rosamond played admirably. Her master at Mrs. Lemons school (close to -a county town with a memorable history that had its relics in church -and castle) was one of those excellent musicians here and there to be -found in our provinces, worthy to compare with many a noted -Kapellmeister in a country which offers more plentiful conditions of -musical celebrity. Rosamond, with the executants instinct, had seized -his manner of playing, and gave forth his large rendering of noble -music with the precision of an echo. It was almost startling, heard for -the first time. A hidden soul seemed to be flowing forth from -Rosamonds fingers; and so indeed it was, since souls live on in -perpetual echoes, and to all fine expression there goes somewhere an -originating activity, if it be only that of an interpreter. Lydgate was -taken possession of, and began to believe in her as something -exceptional. After all, he thought, one need not be surprised to find -the rare conjunctions of nature under circumstances apparently -unfavorable: come where they may, they always depend on conditions that -are not obvious. He sat looking at her, and did not rise to pay her any -compliments, leaving that to others, now that his admiration was -deepened. - -Her singing was less remarkable, but also well trained, and sweet to -hear as a chime perfectly in tune. It is true she sang Meet me by -moonlight, and Ive been roaming; for mortals must share the -fashions of their time, and none but the ancients can be always -classical. But Rosamond could also sing Black-eyed Susan with effect, -or Haydns canzonets, or Voi, che sapete, or Batti, battishe only -wanted to know what her audience liked. - -Her father looked round at the company, delighting in their admiration. -Her mother sat, like a Niobe before her troubles, with her youngest -little girl on her lap, softly beating the childs hand up and down in -time to the music. And Fred, notwithstanding his general scepticism -about Rosy, listened to her music with perfect allegiance, wishing he -could do the same thing on his flute. It was the pleasantest family -party that Lydgate had seen since he came to Middlemarch. The Vincys -had the readiness to enjoy, the rejection of all anxiety, and the -belief in life as a merry lot, which made a house exceptional in most -county towns at that time, when Evangelicalism had cast a certain -suspicion as of plague-infection over the few amusements which survived -in the provinces. At the Vincys there was always whist, and the -card-tables stood ready now, making some of the company secretly -impatient of the music. Before it ceased Mr. Farebrother came ina -handsome, broad-chested but otherwise small man, about forty, whose -black was very threadbare: the brilliancy was all in his quick gray -eyes. He came like a pleasant change in the light, arresting little -Louisa with fatherly nonsense as she was being led out of the room by -Miss Morgan, greeting everybody with some special word, and seeming to -condense more talk into ten minutes than had been held all through the -evening. He claimed from Lydgate the fulfilment of a promise to come -and see him. I cant let you off, you know, because I have some -beetles to show you. We collectors feel an interest in every new man -till he has seen all we have to show him. - -But soon he swerved to the whist-table, rubbing his hands and saying, -Come now, let us be serious! Mr. Lydgate? not play? Ah! you are too -young and light for this kind of thing. - -Lydgate said to himself that the clergyman whose abilities were so -painful to Mr. Bulstrode, appeared to have found an agreeable resort in -this certainly not erudite household. He could half understand it: the -good-humor, the good looks of elder and younger, and the provision for -passing the time without any labor of intelligence, might make the -house beguiling to people who had no particular use for their odd -hours. - -Everything looked blooming and joyous except Miss Morgan, who was -brown, dull, and resigned, and altogether, as Mrs. Vincy often said, -just the sort of person for a governess. Lydgate did not mean to pay -many such visits himself. They were a wretched waste of the evenings; -and now, when he had talked a little more to Rosamond, he meant to -excuse himself and go. - -You will not like us at Middlemarch, I feel sure, she said, when the -whist-players were settled. We are very stupid, and you have been used -to something quite different. - -I suppose all country towns are pretty much alike, said Lydgate. But -I have noticed that one always believes ones own town to be more -stupid than any other. I have made up my mind to take Middlemarch as it -comes, and shall be much obliged if the town will take me in the same -way. I have certainly found some charms in it which are much greater -than I had expected. - -You mean the rides towards Tipton and Lowick; every one is pleased -with those, said Rosamond, with simplicity. - -No, I mean something much nearer to me. - -Rosamond rose and reached her netting, and then said, Do you care -about dancing at all? I am not quite sure whether clever men ever -dance. - -I would dance with you if you would allow me. - -Oh! said Rosamond, with a slight deprecatory laugh. I was only going -to say that we sometimes have dancing, and I wanted to know whether you -would feel insulted if you were asked to come. - -Not on the condition I mentioned. - -After this chat Lydgate thought that he was going, but on moving -towards the whist-tables, he got interested in watching Mr. -Farebrothers play, which was masterly, and also his face, which was a -striking mixture of the shrewd and the mild. At ten oclock supper was -brought in (such were the customs of Middlemarch) and there was -punch-drinking; but Mr. Farebrother had only a glass of water. He was -winning, but there seemed to be no reason why the renewal of rubbers -should end, and Lydgate at last took his leave. - -But as it was not eleven oclock, he chose to walk in the brisk air -towards the tower of St. Botolphs, Mr. Farebrothers church, which -stood out dark, square, and massive against the starlight. It was the -oldest church in Middlemarch; the living, however, was but a vicarage -worth barely four hundred a-year. Lydgate had heard that, and he -wondered now whether Mr. Farebrother cared about the money he won at -cards; thinking, He seems a very pleasant fellow, but Bulstrode may -have his good reasons. Many things would be easier to Lydgate if it -should turn out that Mr. Bulstrode was generally justifiable. What is -his religious doctrine to me, if he carries some good notions along -with it? One must use such brains as are to be found. - -These were actually Lydgates first meditations as he walked away from -Mr. Vincys, and on this ground I fear that many ladies will consider -him hardly worthy of their attention. He thought of Rosamond and her -music only in the second place; and though, when her turn came, he -dwelt on the image of her for the rest of his walk, he felt no -agitation, and had no sense that any new current had set into his life. -He could not marry yet; he wished not to marry for several years; and -therefore he was not ready to entertain the notion of being in love -with a girl whom he happened to admire. He did admire Rosamond -exceedingly; but that madness which had once beset him about Laure was -not, he thought, likely to recur in relation to any other woman. -Certainly, if falling in love had been at all in question, it would -have been quite safe with a creature like this Miss Vincy, who had just -the kind of intelligence one would desire in a womanpolished, refined, -docile, lending itself to finish in all the delicacies of life, and -enshrined in a body which expressed this with a force of demonstration -that excluded the need for other evidence. Lydgate felt sure that if -ever he married, his wife would have that feminine radiance, that -distinctive womanhood which must be classed with flowers and music, -that sort of beauty which by its very nature was virtuous, being -moulded only for pure and delicate joys. - -But since he did not mean to marry for the next five yearshis more -pressing business was to look into Louis new book on Fever, which he -was specially interested in, because he had known Louis in Paris, and -had followed many anatomical demonstrations in order to ascertain the -specific differences of typhus and typhoid. He went home and read far -into the smallest hour, bringing a much more testing vision of details -and relations into this pathological study than he had ever thought it -necessary to apply to the complexities of love and marriage, these -being subjects on which he felt himself amply informed by literature, -and that traditional wisdom which is handed down in the genial -conversation of men. Whereas Fever had obscure conditions, and gave him -that delightful labor of the imagination which is not mere -arbitrariness, but the exercise of disciplined powercombining and -constructing with the clearest eye for probabilities and the fullest -obedience to knowledge; and then, in yet more energetic alliance with -impartial Nature, standing aloof to invent tests by which to try its -own work. - -Many men have been praised as vividly imaginative on the strength of -their profuseness in indifferent drawing or cheap narration:reports of -very poor talk going on in distant orbs; or portraits of Lucifer coming -down on his bad errands as a large ugly man with bats wings and spurts -of phosphorescence; or exaggerations of wantonness that seem to reflect -life in a diseased dream. But these kinds of inspiration Lydgate -regarded as rather vulgar and vinous compared with the imagination that -reveals subtle actions inaccessible by any sort of lens, but tracked in -that outer darkness through long pathways of necessary sequence by the -inward light which is the last refinement of Energy, capable of bathing -even the ethereal atoms in its ideally illuminated space. He for his -part had tossed away all cheap inventions where ignorance finds itself -able and at ease: he was enamoured of that arduous invention which is -the very eye of research, provisionally framing its object and -correcting it to more and more exactness of relation; he wanted to -pierce the obscurity of those minute processes which prepare human -misery and joy, those invisible thoroughfares which are the first -lurking-places of anguish, mania, and crime, that delicate poise and -transition which determine the growth of happy or unhappy -consciousness. - -As he threw down his book, stretched his legs towards the embers in the -grate, and clasped his hands at the back of his head, in that agreeable -afterglow of excitement when thought lapses from examination of a -specific object into a suffusive sense of its connections with all the -rest of our existenceseems, as it were, to throw itself on its back -after vigorous swimming and float with the repose of unexhausted -strengthLydgate felt a triumphant delight in his studies, and -something like pity for those less lucky men who were not of his -profession. - -If I had not taken that turn when I was a lad, he thought, I might -have got into some stupid draught-horse work or other, and lived always -in blinkers. I should never have been happy in any profession that did -not call forth the highest intellectual strain, and yet keep me in good -warm contact with my neighbors. There is nothing like the medical -profession for that: one can have the exclusive scientific life that -touches the distance and befriend the old fogies in the parish too. It -is rather harder for a clergyman: Farebrother seems to be an anomaly. - -This last thought brought back the Vincys and all the pictures of the -evening. They floated in his mind agreeably enough, and as he took up -his bed-candle his lips were curled with that incipient smile which is -apt to accompany agreeable recollections. He was an ardent fellow, but -at present his ardor was absorbed in love of his work and in the -ambition of making his life recognized as a factor in the better life -of mankindlike other heroes of science who had nothing but an obscure -country practice to begin with. - -Poor Lydgate! or shall I say, Poor Rosamond! Each lived in a world of -which the other knew nothing. It had not occurred to Lydgate that he -had been a subject of eager meditation to Rosamond, who had neither any -reason for throwing her marriage into distant perspective, nor any -pathological studies to divert her mind from that ruminating habit, -that inward repetition of looks, words, and phrases, which makes a -large part in the lives of most girls. He had not meant to look at her -or speak to her with more than the inevitable amount of admiration and -compliment which a man must give to a beautiful girl; indeed, it seemed -to him that his enjoyment of her music had remained almost silent, for -he feared falling into the rudeness of telling her his great surprise -at her possession of such accomplishment. But Rosamond had registered -every look and word, and estimated them as the opening incidents of a -preconceived romanceincidents which gather value from the foreseen -development and climax. In Rosamonds romance it was not necessary to -imagine much about the inward life of the hero, or of his serious -business in the world: of course, he had a profession and was clever, -as well as sufficiently handsome; but the piquant fact about Lydgate -was his good birth, which distinguished him from all Middlemarch -admirers, and presented marriage as a prospect of rising in rank and -getting a little nearer to that celestial condition on earth in which -she would have nothing to do with vulgar people, and perhaps at last -associate with relatives quite equal to the county people who looked -down on the Middlemarchers. It was part of Rosamonds cleverness to -discern very subtly the faintest aroma of rank, and once when she had -seen the Miss Brookes accompanying their uncle at the county assizes, -and seated among the aristocracy, she had envied them, notwithstanding -their plain dress. - -If you think it incredible that to imagine Lydgate as a man of family -could cause thrills of satisfaction which had anything to do with the -sense that she was in love with him, I will ask you to use your power -of comparison a little more effectively, and consider whether red cloth -and epaulets have never had an influence of that sort. Our passions do -not live apart in locked chambers, but, dressed in their small wardrobe -of notions, bring their provisions to a common table and mess together, -feeding out of the common store according to their appetite. - -Rosamond, in fact, was entirely occupied not exactly with Tertius -Lydgate as he was in himself, but with his relation to her; and it was -excusable in a girl who was accustomed to hear that all young men -might, could, would be, or actually were in love with her, to believe -at once that Lydgate could be no exception. His looks and words meant -more to her than other mens, because she cared more for them: she -thought of them diligently, and diligently attended to that perfection -of appearance, behavior, sentiments, and all other elegancies, which -would find in Lydgate a more adequate admirer than she had yet been -conscious of. - -For Rosamond, though she would never do anything that was disagreeable -to her, was industrious; and now more than ever she was active in -sketching her landscapes and market-carts and portraits of friends, in -practising her music, and in being from morning till night her own -standard of a perfect lady, having always an audience in her own -consciousness, with sometimes the not unwelcome addition of a more -variable external audience in the numerous visitors of the house. She -found time also to read the best novels, and even the second best, and -she knew much poetry by heart. Her favorite poem was Lalla Rookh. - -The best girl in the world! He will be a happy fellow who gets her! -was the sentiment of the elderly gentlemen who visited the Vincys; and -the rejected young men thought of trying again, as is the fashion in -country towns where the horizon is not thick with coming rivals. But -Mrs. Plymdale thought that Rosamond had been educated to a ridiculous -pitch, for what was the use of accomplishments which would be all laid -aside as soon as she was married? While her aunt Bulstrode, who had a -sisterly faithfulness towards her brothers family, had two sincere -wishes for Rosamondthat she might show a more serious turn of mind, -and that she might meet with a husband whose wealth corresponded to her -habits. - - - - -CHAPTER XVII. - -The clerkly person smiled and said -Promise was a pretty maid, -But being poor she died unwed. - - -The Rev. Camden Farebrother, whom Lydgate went to see the next evening, -lived in an old parsonage, built of stone, venerable enough to match -the church which it looked out upon. All the furniture too in the house -was old, but with another grade of agethat of Mr. Farebrothers father -and grandfather. There were painted white chairs, with gilding and -wreaths on them, and some lingering red silk damask with slits in it. -There were engraved portraits of Lord Chancellors and other celebrated -lawyers of the last century; and there were old pier-glasses to reflect -them, as well as the little satin-wood tables and the sofas resembling -a prolongation of uneasy chairs, all standing in relief against the -dark wainscot. This was the physiognomy of the drawing-room into which -Lydgate was shown; and there were three ladies to receive him, who were -also old-fashioned, and of a faded but genuine respectability: Mrs. -Farebrother, the Vicars white-haired mother, befrilled and kerchiefed -with dainty cleanliness, upright, quick-eyed, and still under seventy; -Miss Noble, her sister, a tiny old lady of meeker aspect, with frills -and kerchief decidedly more worn and mended; and Miss Winifred -Farebrother, the Vicars elder sister, well-looking like himself, but -nipped and subdued as single women are apt to be who spend their lives -in uninterrupted subjection to their elders. Lydgate had not expected -to see so quaint a group: knowing simply that Mr. Farebrother was a -bachelor, he had thought of being ushered into a snuggery where the -chief furniture would probably be books and collections of natural -objects. The Vicar himself seemed to wear rather a changed aspect, as -most men do when acquaintances made elsewhere see them for the first -time in their own homes; some indeed showing like an actor of genial -parts disadvantageously cast for the curmudgeon in a new piece. This -was not the case with Mr. Farebrother: he seemed a trifle milder and -more silent, the chief talker being his mother, while he only put in a -good-humored moderating remark here and there. The old lady was -evidently accustomed to tell her company what they ought to think, and -to regard no subject as quite safe without her steering. She was -afforded leisure for this function by having all her little wants -attended to by Miss Winifred. Meanwhile tiny Miss Noble carried on her -arm a small basket, into which she diverted a bit of sugar, which she -had first dropped in her saucer as if by mistake; looking round -furtively afterwards, and reverting to her teacup with a small innocent -noise as of a tiny timid quadruped. Pray think no ill of Miss Noble. -That basket held small savings from her more portable food, destined -for the children of her poor friends among whom she trotted on fine -mornings; fostering and petting all needy creatures being so -spontaneous a delight to her, that she regarded it much as if it had -been a pleasant vice that she was addicted to. Perhaps she was -conscious of being tempted to steal from those who had much that she -might give to those who had nothing, and carried in her conscience the -guilt of that repressed desire. One must be poor to know the luxury of -giving! - -Mrs. Farebrother welcomed the guest with a lively formality and -precision. She presently informed him that they were not often in want -of medical aid in that house. She had brought up her children to wear -flannel and not to over-eat themselves, which last habit she considered -the chief reason why people needed doctors. Lydgate pleaded for those -whose fathers and mothers had over-eaten themselves, but Mrs. -Farebrother held that view of things dangerous: Nature was more just -than that; it would be easy for any felon to say that his ancestors -ought to have been hanged instead of him. If those who had bad fathers -and mothers were bad themselves, they were hanged for that. There was -no need to go back on what you couldnt see. - -My mother is like old George the Third, said the Vicar, she objects -to metaphysics. - -I object to what is wrong, Camden. I say, keep hold of a few plain -truths, and make everything square with them. When I was young, Mr. -Lydgate, there never was any question about right and wrong. We knew -our catechism, and that was enough; we learned our creed and our duty. -Every respectable Church person had the same opinions. But now, if you -speak out of the Prayer-book itself, you are liable to be -contradicted. - -That makes rather a pleasant time of it for those who like to maintain -their own point, said Lydgate. - -But my mother always gives way, said the Vicar, slyly. - -No, no, Camden, you must not lead Mr. Lydgate into a mistake about -_me_. I shall never show that disrespect to my parents, to give up what -they taught me. Any one may see what comes of turning. If you change -once, why not twenty times? - -A man might see good arguments for changing once, and not see them for -changing again, said Lydgate, amused with the decisive old lady. - -Excuse me there. If you go upon arguments, they are never wanting, -when a man has no constancy of mind. My father never changed, and he -preached plain moral sermons without arguments, and was a good manfew -better. When you get me a good man made out of arguments, I will get -you a good dinner with reading you the cookery-book. Thats my opinion, -and I think anybodys stomach will bear me out. - -About the dinner certainly, mother, said Mr. Farebrother. - -It is the same thing, the dinner or the man. I am nearly seventy, Mr. -Lydgate, and I go upon experience. I am not likely to follow new -lights, though there are plenty of them here as elsewhere. I say, they -came in with the mixed stuffs that will neither wash nor wear. It was -not so in my youth: a Churchman was a Churchman, and a clergyman, you -might be pretty sure, was a gentleman, if nothing else. But now he may -be no better than a Dissenter, and want to push aside my son on -pretence of doctrine. But whoever may wish to push him aside, I am -proud to say, Mr. Lydgate, that he will compare with any preacher in -this kingdom, not to speak of this town, which is but a low standard to -go by; at least, to my thinking, for I was born and bred at Exeter. - -A mother is never partial, said Mr. Farebrother, smiling. What do -you think Tykes mother says about him? - -Ah, poor creature! what indeed? said Mrs. Farebrother, her sharpness -blunted for the moment by her confidence in maternal judgments. She -says the truth to herself, depend upon it. - -And what is the truth? said Lydgate. I am curious to know. - -Oh, nothing bad at all, said Mr. Farebrother. He is a zealous -fellow: not very learned, and not very wise, I thinkbecause I dont -agree with him. - -Why, Camden! said Miss Winifred, Griffin and his wife told me only -to-day, that Mr. Tyke said they should have no more coals if they came -to hear you preach. - -Mrs. Farebrother laid down her knitting, which she had resumed after -her small allowance of tea and toast, and looked at her son as if to -say You hear that? Miss Noble said, Oh poor things! poor things! in -reference, probably, to the double loss of preaching and coal. But the -Vicar answered quietly - -That is because they are not my parishioners. And I dont think my -sermons are worth a load of coals to them. - -Mr. Lydgate, said Mrs. Farebrother, who could not let this pass, you -dont know my son: he always undervalues himself. I tell him he is -undervaluing the God who made him, and made him a most excellent -preacher. - -That must be a hint for me to take Mr. Lydgate away to my study, -mother, said the Vicar, laughing. I promised to show you my -collection, he added, turning to Lydgate; shall we go? - -All three ladies remonstrated. Mr. Lydgate ought not to be hurried away -without being allowed to accept another cup of tea: Miss Winifred had -abundance of good tea in the pot. Why was Camden in such haste to take -a visitor to his den? There was nothing but pickled vermin, and drawers -full of blue-bottles and moths, with no carpet on the floor. Mr. -Lydgate must excuse it. A game at cribbage would be far better. In -short, it was plain that a vicar might be adored by his womankind as -the king of men and preachers, and yet be held by them to stand in much -need of their direction. Lydgate, with the usual shallowness of a young -bachelor, wondered that Mr. Farebrother had not taught them better. - -My mother is not used to my having visitors who can take any interest -in my hobbies, said the Vicar, as he opened the door of his study, -which was indeed as bare of luxuries for the body as the ladies had -implied, unless a short porcelain pipe and a tobacco-box were to be -excepted. - -Men of your profession dont generally smoke, he said. Lydgate smiled -and shook his head. Nor of mine either, properly, I suppose. You will -hear that pipe alleged against me by Bulstrode and Company. They dont -know how pleased the devil would be if I gave it up. - -I understand. You are of an excitable temper and want a sedative. I am -heavier, and should get idle with it. I should rush into idleness, and -stagnate there with all my might. - -And you mean to give it all to your work. I am some ten or twelve -years older than you, and have come to a compromise. I feed a weakness -or two lest they should get clamorous. See, continued the Vicar, -opening several small drawers, I fancy I have made an exhaustive study -of the entomology of this district. I am going on both with the fauna -and flora; but I have at least done my insects well. We are singularly -rich in orthoptera: I dont know whetherAh! you have got hold of that -glass jaryou are looking into that instead of my drawers. You dont -really care about these things? - -Not by the side of this lovely anencephalous monster. I have never had -time to give myself much to natural history. I was early bitten with an -interest in structure, and it is what lies most directly in my -profession. I have no hobby besides. I have the sea to swim in there. - -Ah! you are a happy fellow, said Mr. Farebrother, turning on his heel -and beginning to fill his pipe. You dont know what it is to want -spiritual tobaccobad emendations of old texts, or small items about a -variety of Aphis Brassicae, with the well-known signature of -Philomicron, for the Twaddlers Magazine; or a learned treatise on -the entomology of the Pentateuch, including all the insects not -mentioned, but probably met with by the Israelites in their passage -through the desert; with a monograph on the Ant, as treated by Solomon, -showing the harmony of the Book of Proverbs with the results of modern -research. You dont mind my fumigating you? - -Lydgate was more surprised at the openness of this talk than at its -implied meaningthat the Vicar felt himself not altogether in the right -vocation. The neat fitting-up of drawers and shelves, and the bookcase -filled with expensive illustrated books on Natural History, made him -think again of the winnings at cards and their destination. But he was -beginning to wish that the very best construction of everything that -Mr. Farebrother did should be the true one. The Vicars frankness -seemed not of the repulsive sort that comes from an uneasy -consciousness seeking to forestall the judgment of others, but simply -the relief of a desire to do with as little pretence as possible. -Apparently he was not without a sense that his freedom of speech might -seem premature, for he presently said - -I have not yet told you that I have the advantage of you, Mr. Lydgate, -and know you better than you know me. You remember Trawley who shared -your apartment at Paris for some time? I was a correspondent of his, -and he told me a good deal about you. I was not quite sure when you -first came that you were the same man. I was very glad when I found -that you were. Only I dont forget that you have not had the like -prologue about me. - -Lydgate divined some delicacy of feeling here, but did not half -understand it. By the way, he said, what has become of Trawley? I -have quite lost sight of him. He was hot on the French social systems, -and talked of going to the Backwoods to found a sort of Pythagorean -community. Is he gone? - -Not at all. He is practising at a German bath, and has married a rich -patient. - -Then my notions wear the best, so far, said Lydgate, with a short -scornful laugh. He would have it, the medical profession was an -inevitable system of humbug. I said, the fault was in the menmen who -truckle to lies and folly. Instead of preaching against humbug outside -the walls, it might be better to set up a disinfecting apparatus -within. In shortI am reporting my own conversationyou may be sure I -had all the good sense on my side. - -Your scheme is a good deal more difficult to carry out than the -Pythagorean community, though. You have not only got the old Adam in -yourself against you, but you have got all those descendants of the -original Adam who form the society around you. You see, I have paid -twelve or thirteen years more than you for my knowledge of -difficulties. ButMr. Farebrother broke off a moment, and then added, -you are eying that glass vase again. Do you want to make an exchange? -You shall not have it without a fair barter. - -I have some sea-micefine specimensin spirits. And I will throw in -Robert Browns new thingMicroscopic Observations on the Pollen of -Plantsif you dont happen to have it already. - -Why, seeing how you long for the monster, I might ask a higher price. -Suppose I ask you to look through my drawers and agree with me about -all my new species? The Vicar, while he talked in this way, -alternately moved about with his pipe in his mouth, and returned to -hang rather fondly over his drawers. That would be good discipline, -you know, for a young doctor who has to please his patients in -Middlemarch. You must learn to be bored, remember. However, you shall -have the monster on your own terms. - -Dont you think men overrate the necessity for humoring everybodys -nonsense, till they get despised by the very fools they humor? said -Lydgate, moving to Mr. Farebrothers side, and looking rather absently -at the insects ranged in fine gradation, with names subscribed in -exquisite writing. The shortest way is to make your value felt, so -that people must put up with you whether you flatter them or not. - -With all my heart. But then you must be sure of having the value, and -you must keep yourself independent. Very few men can do that. Either -you slip out of service altogether, and become good for nothing, or you -wear the harness and draw a good deal where your yoke-fellows pull you. -But do look at these delicate orthoptera! - -Lydgate had after all to give some scrutiny to each drawer, the Vicar -laughing at himself, and yet persisting in the exhibition. - -Apropos of what you said about wearing harness, Lydgate began, after -they had sat down, I made up my mind some time ago to do with as -little of it as possible. That was why I determined not to try anything -in London, for a good many years at least. I didnt like what I saw -when I was studying thereso much empty bigwiggism, and obstructive -trickery. In the country, people have less pretension to knowledge, and -are less of companions, but for that reason they affect ones -amour-propre less: one makes less bad blood, and can follow ones own -course more quietly. - -Yeswellyou have got a good start; you are in the right profession, -the work you feel yourself most fit for. Some people miss that, and -repent too late. But you must not be too sure of keeping your -independence. - -You mean of family ties? said Lydgate, conceiving that these might -press rather tightly on Mr. Farebrother. - -Not altogether. Of course they make many things more difficult. But a -good wifea good unworldly womanmay really help a man, and keep him -more independent. Theres a parishioner of minea fine fellow, but who -would hardly have pulled through as he has done without his wife. Do -you know the Garths? I think they were not Peacocks patients. - -No; but there is a Miss Garth at old Featherstones, at Lowick. - -Their daughter: an excellent girl. - -She is very quietI have hardly noticed her. - -She has taken notice of you, though, depend upon it. - -I dont understand, said Lydgate; he could hardly say Of course. - -Oh, she gauges everybody. I prepared her for confirmationshe is a -favorite of mine. - -Mr. Farebrother puffed a few moments in silence, Lydgate not caring to -know more about the Garths. At last the Vicar laid down his pipe, -stretched out his legs, and turned his bright eyes with a smile towards -Lydgate, saying - -But we Middlemarchers are not so tame as you take us to be. We have -our intrigues and our parties. I am a party man, for example, and -Bulstrode is another. If you vote for me you will offend Bulstrode. - -What is there against Bulstrode? said Lydgate, emphatically. - -I did not say there was anything against him except that. If you vote -against him you will make him your enemy. - -I dont know that I need mind about that, said Lydgate, rather -proudly; but he seems to have good ideas about hospitals, and he -spends large sums on useful public objects. He might help me a good -deal in carrying out my ideas. As to his religious notionswhy, as -Voltaire said, incantations will destroy a flock of sheep if -administered with a certain quantity of arsenic. I look for the man who -will bring the arsenic, and dont mind about his incantations. - -Very good. But then you must not offend your arsenic-man. You will not -offend me, you know, said Mr. Farebrother, quite unaffectedly. I -dont translate my own convenience into other peoples duties. I am -opposed to Bulstrode in many ways. I dont like the set he belongs to: -they are a narrow ignorant set, and do more to make their neighbors -uncomfortable than to make them better. Their system is a sort of -worldly-spiritual cliqueism: they really look on the rest of mankind as -a doomed carcass which is to nourish them for heaven. But, he added, -smilingly, I dont say that Bulstrodes new hospital is a bad thing; -and as to his wanting to oust me from the old onewhy, if he thinks me -a mischievous fellow, he is only returning a compliment. And I am not a -model clergymanonly a decent makeshift. - -Lydgate was not at all sure that the Vicar maligned himself. A model -clergyman, like a model doctor, ought to think his own profession the -finest in the world, and take all knowledge as mere nourishment to his -moral pathology and therapeutics. He only said, What reason does -Bulstrode give for superseding you? - -That I dont teach his opinionswhich he calls spiritual religion; and -that I have no time to spare. Both statements are true. But then I -could make time, and I should be glad of the forty pounds. That is the -plain fact of the case. But let us dismiss it. I only wanted to tell -you that if you vote for your arsenic-man, you are not to cut me in -consequence. I cant spare you. You are a sort of circumnavigator come -to settle among us, and will keep up my belief in the antipodes. Now -tell me all about them in Paris. - - - - -CHAPTER XVIII. - -Oh, sir, the loftiest hopes on earth -Draw lots with meaner hopes: heroic breasts, -Breathing bad air, run risk of pestilence; -Or, lacking lime-juice when they cross the Line, -May languish with the scurvy. - - -Some weeks passed after this conversation before the question of the -chaplaincy gathered any practical import for Lydgate, and without -telling himself the reason, he deferred the predetermination on which -side he should give his vote. It would really have been a matter of -total indifference to himthat is to say, he would have taken the more -convenient side, and given his vote for the appointment of Tyke without -any hesitationif he had not cared personally for Mr. Farebrother. - -But his liking for the Vicar of St. Botolphs grew with growing -acquaintanceship. That, entering into Lydgates position as a new-comer -who had his own professional objects to secure, Mr. Farebrother should -have taken pains rather to warn off than to obtain his interest, showed -an unusual delicacy and generosity, which Lydgates nature was keenly -alive to. It went along with other points of conduct in Mr. Farebrother -which were exceptionally fine, and made his character resemble those -southern landscapes which seem divided between natural grandeur and -social slovenliness. Very few men could have been as filial and -chivalrous as he was to the mother, aunt, and sister, whose dependence -on him had in many ways shaped his life rather uneasily for himself; -few men who feel the pressure of small needs are so nobly resolute not -to dress up their inevitably self-interested desires in a pretext of -better motives. In these matters he was conscious that his life would -bear the closest scrutiny; and perhaps the consciousness encouraged a -little defiance towards the critical strictness of persons whose -celestial intimacies seemed not to improve their domestic manners, and -whose lofty aims were not needed to account for their actions. Then, -his preaching was ingenious and pithy, like the preaching of the -English Church in its robust age, and his sermons were delivered -without book. People outside his parish went to hear him; and, since to -fill the church was always the most difficult part of a clergymans -function, here was another ground for a careless sense of superiority. -Besides, he was a likable man: sweet-tempered, ready-witted, frank, -without grins of suppressed bitterness or other conversational flavors -which make half of us an affliction to our friends. Lydgate liked him -heartily, and wished for his friendship. - -With this feeling uppermost, he continued to waive the question of the -chaplaincy, and to persuade himself that it was not only no proper -business of his, but likely enough never to vex him with a demand for -his vote. Lydgate, at Mr. Bulstrodes request, was laying down plans -for the internal arrangements of the new hospital, and the two were -often in consultation. The banker was always presupposing that he could -count in general on Lydgate as a coadjutor, but made no special -recurrence to the coming decision between Tyke and Farebrother. When -the General Board of the Infirmary had met, however, and Lydgate had -notice that the question of the chaplaincy was thrown on a council of -the directors and medical men, to meet on the following Friday, he had -a vexed sense that he must make up his mind on this trivial Middlemarch -business. He could not help hearing within him the distinct declaration -that Bulstrode was prime minister, and that the Tyke affair was a -question of office or no office; and he could not help an equally -pronounced dislike to giving up the prospect of office. For his -observation was constantly confirming Mr. Farebrothers assurance that -the banker would not overlook opposition. Confound their petty -politics! was one of his thoughts for three mornings in the meditative -process of shaving, when he had begun to feel that he must really hold -a court of conscience on this matter. Certainly there were valid things -to be said against the election of Mr. Farebrother: he had too much on -his hands already, especially considering how much time he spent on -non-clerical occupations. Then again it was a continually repeated -shock, disturbing Lydgates esteem, that the Vicar should obviously -play for the sake of money, liking the play indeed, but evidently -liking some end which it served. Mr. Farebrother contended on theory -for the desirability of all games, and said that Englishmens wit was -stagnant for want of them; but Lydgate felt certain that he would have -played very much less but for the money. There was a billiard-room at -the Green Dragon, which some anxious mothers and wives regarded as the -chief temptation in Middlemarch. The Vicar was a first-rate -billiard-player, and though he did not frequent the Green Dragon, there -were reports that he had sometimes been there in the daytime and had -won money. And as to the chaplaincy, he did not pretend that he cared -for it, except for the sake of the forty pounds. Lydgate was no -Puritan, but he did not care for play, and winning money at it had -always seemed a meanness to him; besides, he had an ideal of life which -made this subservience of conduct to the gaining of small sums -thoroughly hateful to him. Hitherto in his own life his wants had been -supplied without any trouble to himself, and his first impulse was -always to be liberal with half-crowns as matters of no importance to a -gentleman; it had never occurred to him to devise a plan for getting -half-crowns. He had always known in a general way that he was not rich, -but he had never felt poor, and he had no power of imagining the part -which the want of money plays in determining the actions of men. Money -had never been a motive to him. Hence he was not ready to frame excuses -for this deliberate pursuit of small gains. It was altogether repulsive -to him, and he never entered into any calculation of the ratio between -the Vicars income and his more or less necessary expenditure. It was -possible that he would not have made such a calculation in his own -case. - -And now, when the question of voting had come, this repulsive fact told -more strongly against Mr. Farebrother than it had done before. One -would know much better what to do if mens characters were more -consistent, and especially if ones friends were invariably fit for any -function they desired to undertake! Lydgate was convinced that if there -had been no valid objection to Mr. Farebrother, he would have voted for -him, whatever Bulstrode might have felt on the subject: he did not -intend to be a vassal of Bulstrodes. On the other hand, there was -Tyke, a man entirely given to his clerical office, who was simply -curate at a chapel of ease in St. Peters parish, and had time for -extra duty. Nobody had anything to say against Mr. Tyke, except that -they could not bear him, and suspected him of cant. Really, from his -point of view, Bulstrode was thoroughly justified. - -But whichever way Lydgate began to incline, there was something to make -him wince; and being a proud man, he was a little exasperated at being -obliged to wince. He did not like frustrating his own best purposes by -getting on bad terms with Bulstrode; he did not like voting against -Farebrother, and helping to deprive him of function and salary; and the -question occurred whether the additional forty pounds might not leave -the Vicar free from that ignoble care about winning at cards. Moreover, -Lydgate did not like the consciousness that in voting for Tyke he -should be voting on the side obviously convenient for himself. But -would the end really be his own convenience? Other people would say so, -and would allege that he was currying favor with Bulstrode for the sake -of making himself important and getting on in the world. What then? He -for his own part knew that if his personal prospects simply had been -concerned, he would not have cared a rotten nut for the bankers -friendship or enmity. What he really cared for was a medium for his -work, a vehicle for his ideas; and after all, was he not bound to -prefer the object of getting a good hospital, where he could -demonstrate the specific distinctions of fever and test therapeutic -results, before anything else connected with this chaplaincy? For the -first time Lydgate was feeling the hampering threadlike pressure of -small social conditions, and their frustrating complexity. At the end -of his inward debate, when he set out for the hospital, his hope was -really in the chance that discussion might somehow give a new aspect to -the question, and make the scale dip so as to exclude the necessity for -voting. I think he trusted a little also to the energy which is -begotten by circumstancessome feeling rushing warmly and making -resolve easy, while debate in cool blood had only made it more -difficult. However it was, he did not distinctly say to himself on -which side he would vote; and all the while he was inwardly resenting -the subjection which had been forced upon him. It would have seemed -beforehand like a ridiculous piece of bad logic that he, with his -unmixed resolutions of independence and his select purposes, would find -himself at the very outset in the grasp of petty alternatives, each of -which was repugnant to him. In his students chambers, he had -prearranged his social action quite differently. - -Lydgate was late in setting out, but Dr. Sprague, the two other -surgeons, and several of the directors had arrived early; Mr. -Bulstrode, treasurer and chairman, being among those who were still -absent. The conversation seemed to imply that the issue was -problematical, and that a majority for Tyke was not so certain as had -been generally supposed. The two physicians, for a wonder, turned out -to be unanimous, or rather, though of different minds, they concurred -in action. Dr. Sprague, the rugged and weighty, was, as every one had -foreseen, an adherent of Mr. Farebrother. The Doctor was more than -suspected of having no religion, but somehow Middlemarch tolerated this -deficiency in him as if he had been a Lord Chancellor; indeed it is -probable that his professional weight was the more believed in, the -world-old association of cleverness with the evil principle being still -potent in the minds even of lady-patients who had the strictest ideas -of frilling and sentiment. It was perhaps this negation in the Doctor -which made his neighbors call him hard-headed and dry-witted; -conditions of texture which were also held favorable to the storing of -judgments connected with drugs. At all events, it is certain that if -any medical man had come to Middlemarch with the reputation of having -very definite religious views, of being given to prayer, and of -otherwise showing an active piety, there would have been a general -presumption against his medical skill. - -On this ground it was (professionally speaking) fortunate for Dr. -Minchin that his religious sympathies were of a general kind, and such -as gave a distant medical sanction to all serious sentiment, whether of -Church or Dissent, rather than any adhesion to particular tenets. If -Mr. Bulstrode insisted, as he was apt to do, on the Lutheran doctrine -of justification, as that by which a Church must stand or fall, Dr. -Minchin in return was quite sure that man was not a mere machine or a -fortuitous conjunction of atoms; if Mrs. Wimple insisted on a -particular providence in relation to her stomach complaint, Dr. Minchin -for his part liked to keep the mental windows open and objected to -fixed limits; if the Unitarian brewer jested about the Athanasian -Creed, Dr. Minchin quoted Popes Essay on Man. He objected to the -rather free style of anecdote in which Dr. Sprague indulged, preferring -well-sanctioned quotations, and liking refinement of all kinds: it was -generally known that he had some kinship to a bishop, and sometimes -spent his holidays at the palace. - -Dr. Minchin was soft-handed, pale-complexioned, and of rounded outline, -not to be distinguished from a mild clergyman in appearance: whereas -Dr. Sprague was superfluously tall; his trousers got creased at the -knees, and showed an excess of boot at a time when straps seemed -necessary to any dignity of bearing; you heard him go in and out, and -up and down, as if he had come to see after the roofing. In short, he -had weight, and might be expected to grapple with a disease and throw -it; while Dr. Minchin might be better able to detect it lurking and to -circumvent it. They enjoyed about equally the mysterious privilege of -medical reputation, and concealed with much etiquette their contempt -for each others skill. Regarding themselves as Middlemarch -institutions, they were ready to combine against all innovators, and -against non-professionals given to interference. On this ground they -were both in their hearts equally averse to Mr. Bulstrode, though Dr. -Minchin had never been in open hostility with him, and never differed -from him without elaborate explanation to Mrs. Bulstrode, who had found -that Dr. Minchin alone understood her constitution. A layman who pried -into the professional conduct of medical men, and was always obtruding -his reforms,though he was less directly embarrassing to the two -physicians than to the surgeon-apothecaries who attended paupers by -contract, was nevertheless offensive to the professional nostril as -such; and Dr. Minchin shared fully in the new pique against Bulstrode, -excited by his apparent determination to patronize Lydgate. The -long-established practitioners, Mr. Wrench and Mr. Toller; were just -now standing apart and having a friendly colloquy, in which they agreed -that Lydgate was a jackanapes, just made to serve Bulstrodes purpose. -To non-medical friends they had already concurred in praising the other -young practitioner, who had come into the town on Mr. Peacocks -retirement without further recommendation than his own merits and such -argument for solid professional acquirement as might be gathered from -his having apparently wasted no time on other branches of knowledge. It -was clear that Lydgate, by not dispensing drugs, intended to cast -imputations on his equals, and also to obscure the limit between his -own rank as a general practitioner and that of the physicians, who, in -the interest of the profession, felt bound to maintain its various -grades,especially against a man who had not been to either of the -English universities and enjoyed the absence of anatomical and bedside -study there, but came with a libellous pretension to experience in -Edinburgh and Paris, where observation might be abundant indeed, but -hardly sound. - -Thus it happened that on this occasion Bulstrode became identified with -Lydgate, and Lydgate with Tyke; and owing to this variety of -interchangeable names for the chaplaincy question, diverse minds were -enabled to form the same judgment concerning it. - -Dr. Sprague said at once bluntly to the group assembled when he -entered, I go for Farebrother. A salary, with all my heart. But why -take it from the Vicar? He has none too muchhas to insure his life, -besides keeping house, and doing a vicars charities. Put forty pounds -in his pocket and youll do no harm. Hes a good fellow, is -Farebrother, with as little of the parson about him as will serve to -carry orders. - -Ho, ho! Doctor, said old Mr. Powderell, a retired iron-monger of some -standinghis interjection being something between a laugh and a -Parliamentary disapproval; we must let you have your say. But what we -have to consider is not anybodys incomeits the souls of the poor -sick peoplehere Mr. Powderells voice and face had a sincere pathos -in them. He is a real Gospel preacher, is Mr. Tyke. I should vote -against my conscience if I voted against Mr. TykeI should indeed. - -Mr. Tykes opponents have not asked any one to vote against his -conscience, I believe, said Mr. Hackbutt, a rich tanner of fluent -speech, whose glittering spectacles and erect hair were turned with -some severity towards innocent Mr. Powderell. But in my judgment it -behoves us, as Directors, to consider whether we will regard it as our -whole business to carry out propositions emanating from a single -quarter. Will any member of the committee aver that he would have -entertained the idea of displacing the gentleman who has always -discharged the function of chaplain here, if it had not been suggested -to him by parties whose disposition it is to regard every institution -of this town as a machinery for carrying out their own views? I tax no -mans motives: let them lie between himself and a higher Power; but I -do say, that there are influences at work here which are incompatible -with genuine independence, and that a crawling servility is usually -dictated by circumstances which gentlemen so conducting themselves -could not afford either morally or financially to avow. I myself am a -layman, but I have given no inconsiderable attention to the divisions -in the Church and - -Oh, damn the divisions! burst in Mr. Frank Hawley, lawyer and -town-clerk, who rarely presented himself at the board, but now looked -in hurriedly, whip in hand. We have nothing to do with them here. -Farebrother has been doing the workwhat there waswithout pay, and if -pay is to be given, it should be given to him. I call it a confounded -job to take the thing away from Farebrother. - -I think it would be as well for gentlemen not to give their remarks a -personal bearing, said Mr. Plymdale. I shall vote for the appointment -of Mr. Tyke, but I should not have known, if Mr. Hackbutt hadnt hinted -it, that I was a Servile Crawler. - -I disclaim any personalities. I expressly said, if I may be allowed to -repeat, or even to conclude what I was about to say - -Ah, heres Minchin! said Mr. Frank Hawley; at which everybody turned -away from Mr. Hackbutt, leaving him to feel the uselessness of superior -gifts in Middlemarch. Come, Doctor, I must have you on the right side, -eh? - -I hope so, said Dr. Minchin, nodding and shaking hands here and -there; at whatever cost to my feelings. - -If theres any feeling here, it should be feeling for the man who is -turned out, I think, said Mr. Frank Hawley. - -I confess I have feelings on the other side also. I have a divided -esteem, said Dr. Minchin, rubbing his hands. I consider Mr. Tyke an -exemplary mannone more soand I believe him to be proposed from -unimpeachable motives. I, for my part, wish that I could give him my -vote. But I am constrained to take a view of the case which gives the -preponderance to Mr. Farebrothers claims. He is an amiable man, an -able preacher, and has been longer among us. - -Old Mr. Powderell looked on, sad and silent. Mr. Plymdale settled his -cravat, uneasily. - -You dont set up Farebrother as a pattern of what a clergyman ought to -be, I hope, said Mr. Larcher, the eminent carrier, who had just come -in. I have no ill-will towards him, but I think we owe something to -the public, not to speak of anything higher, in these appointments. In -my opinion Farebrother is too lax for a clergyman. I dont wish to -bring up particulars against him; but he will make a little attendance -here go as far as he can. - -And a devilish deal better than too much, said Mr. Hawley, whose bad -language was notorious in that part of the county. Sick people cant -bear so much praying and preaching. And that methodistical sort of -religion is bad for the spiritsbad for the inside, eh? he added, -turning quickly round to the four medical men who were assembled. - -But any answer was dispensed with by the entrance of three gentlemen, -with whom there were greetings more or less cordial. These were the -Reverend Edward Thesiger, Rector of St. Peters, Mr. Bulstrode, and our -friend Mr. Brooke of Tipton, who had lately allowed himself to be put -on the board of directors in his turn, but had never before attended, -his attendance now being due to Mr. Bulstrodes exertions. Lydgate was -the only person still expected. - -Every one now sat down, Mr. Bulstrode presiding, pale and -self-restrained as usual. Mr. Thesiger, a moderate evangelical, wished -for the appointment of his friend Mr. Tyke, a zealous able man, who, -officiating at a chapel of ease, had not a cure of souls too extensive -to leave him ample time for the new duty. It was desirable that -chaplaincies of this kind should be entered on with a fervent -intention: they were peculiar opportunities for spiritual influence; -and while it was good that a salary should be allotted, there was the -more need for scrupulous watching lest the office should be perverted -into a mere question of salary. Mr. Thesigers manner had so much quiet -propriety that objectors could only simmer in silence. - -Mr. Brooke believed that everybody meant well in the matter. He had not -himself attended to the affairs of the Infirmary, though he had a -strong interest in whatever was for the benefit of Middlemarch, and was -most happy to meet the gentlemen present on any public questionany -public question, you know, Mr. Brooke repeated, with his nod of -perfect understanding. I am a good deal occupied as a magistrate, and -in the collection of documentary evidence, but I regard my time as -being at the disposal of the publicand, in short, my friends have -convinced me that a chaplain with a salarya salary, you knowis a very -good thing, and I am happy to be able to come here and vote for the -appointment of Mr. Tyke, who, I understand, is an unexceptionable man, -apostolic and eloquent and everything of that kindand I am the last -man to withhold my voteunder the circumstances, you know. - -It seems to me that you have been crammed with one side of the -question, Mr. Brooke, said Mr. Frank Hawley, who was afraid of nobody, -and was a Tory suspicious of electioneering intentions. You dont seem -to know that one of the worthiest men we have has been doing duty as -chaplain here for years without pay, and that Mr. Tyke is proposed to -supersede him. - -Excuse me, Mr. Hawley, said Mr. Bulstrode. Mr. Brooke has been fully -informed of Mr. Farebrothers character and position. - -By his enemies, flashed out Mr. Hawley. - -I trust there is no personal hostility concerned here, said Mr. -Thesiger. - -Ill swear there is, though, retorted Mr. Hawley. - -Gentlemen, said Mr. Bulstrode, in a subdued tone, the merits of the -question may be very briefly stated, and if any one present doubts that -every gentleman who is about to give his vote has not been fully -informed, I can now recapitulate the considerations that should weigh -on either side. - -I dont see the good of that, said Mr. Hawley. I suppose we all know -whom we mean to vote for. Any man who wants to do justice does not wait -till the last minute to hear both sides of the question. I have no time -to lose, and I propose that the matter be put to the vote at once. - -A brief but still hot discussion followed before each person wrote -Tyke or Farebrother on a piece of paper and slipped it into a glass -tumbler; and in the mean time Mr. Bulstrode saw Lydgate enter. - -I perceive that the votes are equally divided at present, said Mr. -Bulstrode, in a clear biting voice. Then, looking up at Lydgate - -There is a casting-vote still to be given. It is yours, Mr. Lydgate: -will you be good enough to write? - -The thing is settled now, said Mr. Wrench, rising. We all know how -Mr. Lydgate will vote. - -You seem to speak with some peculiar meaning, sir, said Lydgate, -rather defiantly, and keeping his pencil suspended. - -I merely mean that you are expected to vote with Mr. Bulstrode. Do you -regard that meaning as offensive? - -It may be offensive to others. But I shall not desist from voting with -him on that account. Lydgate immediately wrote down Tyke. - -So the Rev. Walter Tyke became chaplain to the Infirmary, and Lydgate -continued to work with Mr. Bulstrode. He was really uncertain whether -Tyke were not the more suitable candidate, and yet his consciousness -told him that if he had been quite free from indirect bias he should -have voted for Mr. Farebrother. The affair of the chaplaincy remained a -sore point in his memory as a case in which this petty medium of -Middlemarch had been too strong for him. How could a man be satisfied -with a decision between such alternatives and under such circumstances? -No more than he can be satisfied with his hat, which he has chosen from -among such shapes as the resources of the age offer him, wearing it at -best with a resignation which is chiefly supported by comparison. - -But Mr. Farebrother met him with the same friendliness as before. The -character of the publican and sinner is not always practically -incompatible with that of the modern Pharisee, for the majority of us -scarcely see more distinctly the faultiness of our own conduct than the -faultiness of our own arguments, or the dulness of our own jokes. But -the Vicar of St. Botolphs had certainly escaped the slightest tincture -of the Pharisee, and by dint of admitting to himself that he was too -much as other men were, he had become remarkably unlike them in -thisthat he could excuse others for thinking slightly of him, and -could judge impartially of their conduct even when it told against him. - -The world has been too strong for _me_, I know, he said one day to -Lydgate. But then I am not a mighty manI shall never be a man of -renown. The choice of Hercules is a pretty fable; but Prodicus makes it -easy work for the hero, as if the first resolves were enough. Another -story says that he came to hold the distaff, and at last wore the -Nessus shirt. I suppose one good resolve might keep a man right if -everybody elses resolve helped him. - -The Vicars talk was not always inspiriting: he had escaped being a -Pharisee, but he had not escaped that low estimate of possibilities -which we rather hastily arrive at as an inference from our own failure. -Lydgate thought that there was a pitiable infirmity of will in Mr. -Farebrother. - - - - -CHAPTER XIX. - -L altra vedete chha fatto alla guancia -Della sua palma, sospirando, letto. -_Purgatorio_, vii. - - -When George the Fourth was still reigning over the privacies of -Windsor, when the Duke of Wellington was Prime Minister, and Mr. Vincy -was mayor of the old corporation in Middlemarch, Mrs. Casaubon, born -Dorothea Brooke, had taken her wedding journey to Rome. In those days -the world in general was more ignorant of good and evil by forty years -than it is at present. Travellers did not often carry full information -on Christian art either in their heads or their pockets; and even the -most brilliant English critic of the day mistook the flower-flushed -tomb of the ascended Virgin for an ornamental vase due to the painters -fancy. Romanticism, which has helped to fill some dull blanks with love -and knowledge, had not yet penetrated the times with its leaven and -entered into everybodys food; it was fermenting still as a -distinguishable vigorous enthusiasm in certain long-haired German -artists at Rome, and the youth of other nations who worked or idled -near them were sometimes caught in the spreading movement. - -One fine morning a young man whose hair was not immoderately long, but -abundant and curly, and who was otherwise English in his equipment, had -just turned his back on the Belvedere Torso in the Vatican and was -looking out on the magnificent view of the mountains from the adjoining -round vestibule. He was sufficiently absorbed not to notice the -approach of a dark-eyed, animated German who came up to him and placing -a hand on his shoulder, said with a strong accent, Come here, quick! -else she will have changed her pose. - -Quickness was ready at the call, and the two figures passed lightly -along by the Meleager, towards the hall where the reclining Ariadne, -then called the Cleopatra, lies in the marble voluptuousness of her -beauty, the drapery folding around her with a petal-like ease and -tenderness. They were just in time to see another figure standing -against a pedestal near the reclining marble: a breathing blooming -girl, whose form, not shamed by the Ariadne, was clad in Quakerish gray -drapery; her long cloak, fastened at the neck, was thrown backward from -her arms, and one beautiful ungloved hand pillowed her cheek, pushing -somewhat backward the white beaver bonnet which made a sort of halo to -her face around the simply braided dark-brown hair. She was not looking -at the sculpture, probably not thinking of it: her large eyes were -fixed dreamily on a streak of sunlight which fell across the floor. But -she became conscious of the two strangers who suddenly paused as if to -contemplate the Cleopatra, and, without looking at them, immediately -turned away to join a maid-servant and courier who were loitering along -the hall at a little distance off. - -What do you think of that for a fine bit of antithesis? said the -German, searching in his friends face for responding admiration, but -going on volubly without waiting for any other answer. There lies -antique beauty, not corpse-like even in death, but arrested in the -complete contentment of its sensuous perfection: and here stands beauty -in its breathing life, with the consciousness of Christian centuries in -its bosom. But she should be dressed as a nun; I think she looks almost -what you call a Quaker; I would dress her as a nun in my picture. -However, she is married; I saw her wedding-ring on that wonderful left -hand, otherwise I should have thought the sallow _Geistlicher_ was her -father. I saw him parting from her a good while ago, and just now I -found her in that magnificent pose. Only think! he is perhaps rich, and -would like to have her portrait taken. Ah! it is no use looking after -herthere she goes! Let us follow her home! - -No, no, said his companion, with a little frown. - -You are singular, Ladislaw. You look struck together. Do you know -her? - -I know that she is married to my cousin, said Will Ladislaw, -sauntering down the hall with a preoccupied air, while his German -friend kept at his side and watched him eagerly. - -What! the _Geistlicher_? He looks more like an unclea more useful -sort of relation. - -He is not my uncle. I tell you he is my second cousin, said Ladislaw, -with some irritation. - -Schn, schn. Dont be snappish. You are not angry with me for -thinking Mrs. Second-Cousin the most perfect young Madonna I ever saw? - -Angry? nonsense. I have only seen her once before, for a couple of -minutes, when my cousin introduced her to me, just before I left -England. They were not married then. I didnt know they were coming to -Rome. - -But you will go to see them nowyou will find out what they have for -an addresssince you know the name. Shall we go to the post? And you -could speak about the portrait. - -Confound you, Naumann! I dont know what I shall do. I am not so -brazen as you. - -Bah! that is because you are dilettantish and amateurish. If you were -an artist, you would think of Mistress Second-Cousin as antique form -animated by Christian sentimenta sort of Christian Antigonesensuous -force controlled by spiritual passion. - -Yes, and that your painting her was the chief outcome of her -existencethe divinity passing into higher completeness and all but -exhausted in the act of covering your bit of canvas. I am amateurish if -you like: I do _not_ think that all the universe is straining towards -the obscure significance of your pictures. - -But it is, my dear!so far as it is straining through me, Adolf -Naumann: that stands firm, said the good-natured painter, putting a -hand on Ladislaws shoulder, and not in the least disturbed by the -unaccountable touch of ill-humor in his tone. See now! My existence -presupposes the existence of the whole universedoes it _not?_ and my -function is to paintand as a painter I have a conception which is -altogether _genialisch_, of your great-aunt or second grandmother as a -subject for a picture; therefore, the universe is straining towards -that picture through that particular hook or claw which it puts forth -in the shape of menot true? - -But how if another claw in the shape of me is straining to thwart -it?the case is a little less simple then. - -Not at all: the result of the struggle is the same thingpicture or no -picturelogically. - -Will could not resist this imperturbable temper, and the cloud in his -face broke into sunshiny laughter. - -Come now, my friendyou will help? said Naumann, in a hopeful tone. - -No; nonsense, Naumann! English ladies are not at everybodys service -as models. And you want to express too much with your painting. You -would only have made a better or worse portrait with a background which -every connoisseur would give a different reason for or against. And -what is a portrait of a woman? Your painting and Plastik are poor stuff -after all. They perturb and dull conceptions instead of raising them. -Language is a finer medium. - -Yes, for those who cant paint, said Naumann. There you have perfect -right. I did not recommend you to paint, my friend. - -The amiable artist carried his sting, but Ladislaw did not choose to -appear stung. He went on as if he had not heard. - -Language gives a fuller image, which is all the better for being -vague. After all, the true seeing is within; and painting stares at you -with an insistent imperfection. I feel that especially about -representations of women. As if a woman were a mere colored -superficies! You must wait for movement and tone. There is a difference -in their very breathing: they change from moment to moment.This woman -whom you have just seen, for example: how would you paint her voice, -pray? But her voice is much diviner than anything you have seen of -her. - -I see, I see. You are jealous. No man must presume to think that he -can paint your ideal. This is serious, my friend! Your great-aunt! Der -Neffe als Onkel in a tragic sense_ungeheuer!_ - -You and I shall quarrel, Naumann, if you call that lady my aunt -again. - -How is she to be called then? - -Mrs. Casaubon. - -Good. Suppose I get acquainted with her in spite of you, and find that -she very much wishes to be painted? - -Yes, suppose! said Will Ladislaw, in a contemptuous undertone, -intended to dismiss the subject. He was conscious of being irritated by -ridiculously small causes, which were half of his own creation. Why was -he making any fuss about Mrs. Casaubon? And yet he felt as if something -had happened to him with regard to her. There are characters which are -continually creating collisions and nodes for themselves in dramas -which nobody is prepared to act with them. Their susceptibilities will -clash against objects that remain innocently quiet. - - - - -CHAPTER XX. - -A child forsaken, waking suddenly, -Whose gaze afeard on all things round doth rove, -And seeth only that it cannot see - The meeting eyes of love. - - -Two hours later, Dorothea was seated in an inner room or boudoir of a -handsome apartment in the Via Sistina. - -I am sorry to add that she was sobbing bitterly, with such abandonment -to this relief of an oppressed heart as a woman habitually controlled -by pride on her own account and thoughtfulness for others will -sometimes allow herself when she feels securely alone. And Mr. Casaubon -was certain to remain away for some time at the Vatican. - -Yet Dorothea had no distinctly shapen grievance that she could state -even to herself; and in the midst of her confused thought and passion, -the mental act that was struggling forth into clearness was a -self-accusing cry that her feeling of desolation was the fault of her -own spiritual poverty. She had married the man of her choice, and with -the advantage over most girls that she had contemplated her marriage -chiefly as the beginning of new duties: from the very first she had -thought of Mr. Casaubon as having a mind so much above her own, that he -must often be claimed by studies which she could not entirely share; -moreover, after the brief narrow experience of her girlhood she was -beholding Rome, the city of visible history, where the past of a whole -hemisphere seems moving in funeral procession with strange ancestral -images and trophies gathered from afar. - -But this stupendous fragmentariness heightened the dreamlike -strangeness of her bridal life. Dorothea had now been five weeks in -Rome, and in the kindly mornings when autumn and winter seemed to go -hand in hand like a happy aged couple one of whom would presently -survive in chiller loneliness, she had driven about at first with Mr. -Casaubon, but of late chiefly with Tantripp and their experienced -courier. She had been led through the best galleries, had been taken to -the chief points of view, had been shown the grandest ruins and the -most glorious churches, and she had ended by oftenest choosing to drive -out to the Campagna where she could feel alone with the earth and sky, -away-from the oppressive masquerade of ages, in which her own life too -seemed to become a masque with enigmatical costumes. - -To those who have looked at Rome with the quickening power of a -knowledge which breathes a growing soul into all historic shapes, and -traces out the suppressed transitions which unite all contrasts, Rome -may still be the spiritual centre and interpreter of the world. But let -them conceive one more historical contrast: the gigantic broken -revelations of that Imperial and Papal city thrust abruptly on the -notions of a girl who had been brought up in English and Swiss -Puritanism, fed on meagre Protestant histories and on art chiefly of -the hand-screen sort; a girl whose ardent nature turned all her small -allowance of knowledge into principles, fusing her actions into their -mould, and whose quick emotions gave the most abstract things the -quality of a pleasure or a pain; a girl who had lately become a wife, -and from the enthusiastic acceptance of untried duty found herself -plunged in tumultuous preoccupation with her personal lot. The weight -of unintelligible Rome might lie easily on bright nymphs to whom it -formed a background for the brilliant picnic of Anglo-foreign society; -but Dorothea had no such defence against deep impressions. Ruins and -basilicas, palaces and colossi, set in the midst of a sordid present, -where all that was living and warm-blooded seemed sunk in the deep -degeneracy of a superstition divorced from reverence; the dimmer but -yet eager Titanic life gazing and struggling on walls and ceilings; the -long vistas of white forms whose marble eyes seemed to hold the -monotonous light of an alien world: all this vast wreck of ambitious -ideals, sensuous and spiritual, mixed confusedly with the signs of -breathing forgetfulness and degradation, at first jarred her as with an -electric shock, and then urged themselves on her with that ache -belonging to a glut of confused ideas which check the flow of emotion. -Forms both pale and glowing took possession of her young sense, and -fixed themselves in her memory even when she was not thinking of them, -preparing strange associations which remained through her after-years. -Our moods are apt to bring with them images which succeed each other -like the magic-lantern pictures of a doze; and in certain states of -dull forlornness Dorothea all her life continued to see the vastness of -St. Peters, the huge bronze canopy, the excited intention in the -attitudes and garments of the prophets and evangelists in the mosaics -above, and the red drapery which was being hung for Christmas spreading -itself everywhere like a disease of the retina. - -Not that this inward amazement of Dorotheas was anything very -exceptional: many souls in their young nudity are tumbled out among -incongruities and left to find their feet among them, while their -elders go about their business. Nor can I suppose that when Mrs. -Casaubon is discovered in a fit of weeping six weeks after her wedding, -the situation will be regarded as tragic. Some discouragement, some -faintness of heart at the new real future which replaces the imaginary, -is not unusual, and we do not expect people to be deeply moved by what -is not unusual. That element of tragedy which lies in the very fact of -frequency, has not yet wrought itself into the coarse emotion of -mankind; and perhaps our frames could hardly bear much of it. If we had -a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like -hearing the grass grow and the squirrels heart beat, and we should die -of that roar which lies on the other side of silence. As it is, the -quickest of us walk about well wadded with stupidity. - -However, Dorothea was crying, and if she had been required to state the -cause, she could only have done so in some such general words as I have -already used: to have been driven to be more particular would have been -like trying to give a history of the lights and shadows, for that new -real future which was replacing the imaginary drew its material from -the endless minutiae by which her view of Mr. Casaubon and her wifely -relation, now that she was married to him, was gradually changing with -the secret motion of a watch-hand from what it had been in her maiden -dream. It was too early yet for her fully to recognize or at least -admit the change, still more for her to have readjusted that -devotedness which was so necessary a part of her mental life that she -was almost sure sooner or later to recover it. Permanent rebellion, the -disorder of a life without some loving reverent resolve, was not -possible to her; but she was now in an interval when the very force of -her nature heightened its confusion. In this way, the early months of -marriage often are times of critical tumultwhether that of a -shrimp-pool or of deeper waterswhich afterwards subsides into cheerful -peace. - -But was not Mr. Casaubon just as learned as before? Had his forms of -expression changed, or his sentiments become less laudable? Oh -waywardness of womanhood! did his chronology fail him, or his ability -to state not only a theory but the names of those who held it; or his -provision for giving the heads of any subject on demand? And was not -Rome the place in all the world to give free play to such -accomplishments? Besides, had not Dorotheas enthusiasm especially -dwelt on the prospect of relieving the weight and perhaps the sadness -with which great tasks lie on him who has to achieve them? And that -such weight pressed on Mr. Casaubon was only plainer than before. - -All these are crushing questions; but whatever else remained the same, -the light had changed, and you cannot find the pearly dawn at noonday. -The fact is unalterable, that a fellow-mortal with whose nature you are -acquainted solely through the brief entrances and exits of a few -imaginative weeks called courtship, may, when seen in the continuity of -married companionship, be disclosed as something better or worse than -what you have preconceived, but will certainly not appear altogether -the same. And it would be astonishing to find how soon the change is -felt if we had no kindred changes to compare with it. To share lodgings -with a brilliant dinner-companion, or to see your favorite politician -in the Ministry, may bring about changes quite as rapid: in these cases -too we begin by knowing little and believing much, and we sometimes end -by inverting the quantities. - -Still, such comparisons might mislead, for no man was more incapable of -flashy make-believe than Mr. Casaubon: he was as genuine a character as -any ruminant animal, and he had not actively assisted in creating any -illusions about himself. How was it that in the weeks since her -marriage, Dorothea had not distinctly observed but felt with a stifling -depression, that the large vistas and wide fresh air which she had -dreamed of finding in her husbands mind were replaced by anterooms and -winding passages which seemed to lead nowhither? I suppose it was that -in courtship everything is regarded as provisional and preliminary, and -the smallest sample of virtue or accomplishment is taken to guarantee -delightful stores which the broad leisure of marriage will reveal. But -the door-sill of marriage once crossed, expectation is concentrated on -the present. Having once embarked on your marital voyage, it is -impossible not to be aware that you make no way and that the sea is not -within sightthat, in fact, you are exploring an enclosed basin. - -In their conversation before marriage, Mr. Casaubon had often dwelt on -some explanation or questionable detail of which Dorothea did not see -the bearing; but such imperfect coherence seemed due to the brokenness -of their intercourse, and, supported by her faith in their future, she -had listened with fervid patience to a recitation of possible arguments -to be brought against Mr. Casaubons entirely new view of the -Philistine god Dagon and other fish-deities, thinking that hereafter -she should see this subject which touched him so nearly from the same -high ground whence doubtless it had become so important to him. Again, -the matter-of-course statement and tone of dismissal with which he -treated what to her were the most stirring thoughts, was easily -accounted for as belonging to the sense of haste and preoccupation in -which she herself shared during their engagement. But now, since they -had been in Rome, with all the depths of her emotion roused to -tumultuous activity, and with life made a new problem by new elements, -she had been becoming more and more aware, with a certain terror, that -her mind was continually sliding into inward fits of anger and -repulsion, or else into forlorn weariness. How far the judicious Hooker -or any other hero of erudition would have been the same at Mr. -Casaubons time of life, she had no means of knowing, so that he could -not have the advantage of comparison; but her husbands way of -commenting on the strangely impressive objects around them had begun to -affect her with a sort of mental shiver: he had perhaps the best -intention of acquitting himself worthily, but only of acquitting -himself. What was fresh to her mind was worn out to his; and such -capacity of thought and feeling as had ever been stimulated in him by -the general life of mankind had long shrunk to a sort of dried -preparation, a lifeless embalmment of knowledge. - -When he said, Does this interest you, Dorothea? Shall we stay a little -longer? I am ready to stay if you wish it,it seemed to her as if -going or staying were alike dreary. Or, Should you like to go to the -Farnesina, Dorothea? It contains celebrated frescos designed or painted -by Raphael, which most persons think it worth while to visit. - -But do you care about them? was always Dorotheas question. - -They are, I believe, highly esteemed. Some of them represent the fable -of Cupid and Psyche, which is probably the romantic invention of a -literary period, and cannot, I think, be reckoned as a genuine mythical -product. But if you like these wall-paintings we can easily drive -thither; and you will then, I think, have seen the chief works of -Raphael, any of which it were a pity to omit in a visit to Rome. He is -the painter who has been held to combine the most complete grace of -form with sublimity of expression. Such at least I have gathered to be -the opinion of cognoscenti. - -This kind of answer given in a measured official tone, as of a -clergyman reading according to the rubric, did not help to justify the -glories of the Eternal City, or to give her the hope that if she knew -more about them the world would be joyously illuminated for her. There -is hardly any contact more depressing to a young ardent creature than -that of a mind in which years full of knowledge seem to have issued in -a blank absence of interest or sympathy. - -On other subjects indeed Mr. Casaubon showed a tenacity of occupation -and an eagerness which are usually regarded as the effect of -enthusiasm, and Dorothea was anxious to follow this spontaneous -direction of his thoughts, instead of being made to feel that she -dragged him away from it. But she was gradually ceasing to expect with -her former delightful confidence that she should see any wide opening -where she followed him. Poor Mr. Casaubon himself was lost among small -closets and winding stairs, and in an agitated dimness about the -Cabeiri, or in an exposure of other mythologists ill-considered -parallels, easily lost sight of any purpose which had prompted him to -these labors. With his taper stuck before him he forgot the absence of -windows, and in bitter manuscript remarks on other mens notions about -the solar deities, he had become indifferent to the sunlight. - -These characteristics, fixed and unchangeable as bone in Mr. Casaubon, -might have remained longer unfelt by Dorothea if she had been -encouraged to pour forth her girlish and womanly feelingif he would -have held her hands between his and listened with the delight of -tenderness and understanding to all the little histories which made up -her experience, and would have given her the same sort of intimacy in -return, so that the past life of each could be included in their mutual -knowledge and affectionor if she could have fed her affection with -those childlike caresses which are the bent of every sweet woman, who -has begun by showering kisses on the hard pate of her bald doll, -creating a happy soul within that woodenness from the wealth of her own -love. That was Dorotheas bent. With all her yearning to know what was -afar from her and to be widely benignant, she had ardor enough for what -was near, to have kissed Mr. Casaubons coat-sleeve, or to have -caressed his shoe-latchet, if he would have made any other sign of -acceptance than pronouncing her, with his unfailing propriety, to be of -a most affectionate and truly feminine nature, indicating at the same -time by politely reaching a chair for her that he regarded these -manifestations as rather crude and startling. Having made his clerical -toilet with due care in the morning, he was prepared only for those -amenities of life which were suited to the well-adjusted stiff cravat -of the period, and to a mind weighted with unpublished matter. - -And by a sad contradiction Dorotheas ideas and resolves seemed like -melting ice floating and lost in the warm flood of which they had been -but another form. She was humiliated to find herself a mere victim of -feeling, as if she could know nothing except through that medium: all -her strength was scattered in fits of agitation, of struggle, of -despondency, and then again in visions of more complete renunciation, -transforming all hard conditions into duty. Poor Dorothea! she was -certainly troublesometo herself chiefly; but this morning for the -first time she had been troublesome to Mr. Casaubon. - -She had begun, while they were taking coffee, with a determination to -shake off what she inwardly called her selfishness, and turned a face -all cheerful attention to her husband when he said, My dear Dorothea, -we must now think of all that is yet left undone, as a preliminary to -our departure. I would fain have returned home earlier that we might -have been at Lowick for the Christmas; but my inquiries here have been -protracted beyond their anticipated period. I trust, however, that the -time here has not been passed unpleasantly to you. Among the sights of -Europe, that of Rome has ever been held one of the most striking and in -some respects edifying. I well remember that I considered it an epoch -in my life when I visited it for the first time; after the fall of -Napoleon, an event which opened the Continent to travellers. Indeed I -think it is one among several cities to which an extreme hyperbole has -been appliedSee Rome and die: but in your case I would propose an -emendation and say, See Rome as a bride, and live henceforth as a happy -wife. - -Mr. Casaubon pronounced this little speech with the most conscientious -intention, blinking a little and swaying his head up and down, and -concluding with a smile. He had not found marriage a rapturous state, -but he had no idea of being anything else than an irreproachable -husband, who would make a charming young woman as happy as she deserved -to be. - -I hope you are thoroughly satisfied with our stayI mean, with the -result so far as your studies are concerned, said Dorothea, trying to -keep her mind fixed on what most affected her husband. - -Yes, said Mr. Casaubon, with that peculiar pitch of voice which makes -the word half a negative. I have been led farther than I had foreseen, -and various subjects for annotation have presented themselves which, -though I have no direct need of them, I could not pretermit. The task, -notwithstanding the assistance of my amanuensis, has been a somewhat -laborious one, but your society has happily prevented me from that too -continuous prosecution of thought beyond the hours of study which has -been the snare of my solitary life. - -I am very glad that my presence has made any difference to you, said -Dorothea, who had a vivid memory of evenings in which she had supposed -that Mr. Casaubons mind had gone too deep during the day to be able to -get to the surface again. I fear there was a little temper in her -reply. I hope when we get to Lowick, I shall be more useful to you, -and be able to enter a little more into what interests you. - -Doubtless, my dear, said Mr. Casaubon, with a slight bow. The notes -I have here made will want sifting, and you can, if you please, extract -them under my direction. - -And all your notes, said Dorothea, whose heart had already burned -within her on this subject, so that now she could not help speaking -with her tongue. All those rows of volumeswill you not now do what -you used to speak of?will you not make up your mind what part of them -you will use, and begin to write the book which will make your vast -knowledge useful to the world? I will write to your dictation, or I -will copy and extract what you tell me: I can be of no other use. -Dorothea, in a most unaccountable, darkly feminine manner, ended with a -slight sob and eyes full of tears. - -The excessive feeling manifested would alone have been highly -disturbing to Mr. Casaubon, but there were other reasons why Dorotheas -words were among the most cutting and irritating to him that she could -have been impelled to use. She was as blind to his inward troubles as -he to hers: she had not yet learned those hidden conflicts in her -husband which claim our pity. She had not yet listened patiently to his -heartbeats, but only felt that her own was beating violently. In Mr. -Casaubons ear, Dorotheas voice gave loud emphatic iteration to those -muffled suggestions of consciousness which it was possible to explain -as mere fancy, the illusion of exaggerated sensitiveness: always when -such suggestions are unmistakably repeated from without, they are -resisted as cruel and unjust. We are angered even by the full -acceptance of our humiliating confessionshow much more by hearing in -hard distinct syllables from the lips of a near observer, those -confused murmurs which we try to call morbid, and strive against as if -they were the oncoming of numbness! And this cruel outward accuser was -there in the shape of a wifenay, of a young bride, who, instead of -observing his abundant pen-scratches and amplitude of paper with the -uncritical awe of an elegant-minded canary-bird, seemed to present -herself as a spy watching everything with a malign power of inference. -Here, towards this particular point of the compass, Mr. Casaubon had a -sensitiveness to match Dorotheas, and an equal quickness to imagine -more than the fact. He had formerly observed with approbation her -capacity for worshipping the right object; he now foresaw with sudden -terror that this capacity might be replaced by presumption, this -worship by the most exasperating of all criticism,that which sees -vaguely a great many fine ends, and has not the least notion what it -costs to reach them. - -For the first time since Dorothea had known him, Mr. Casaubons face -had a quick angry flush upon it. - -My love, he said, with irritation reined in by propriety, you may -rely upon me for knowing the times and the seasons, adapted to the -different stages of a work which is not to be measured by the facile -conjectures of ignorant onlookers. It had been easy for me to gain a -temporary effect by a mirage of baseless opinion; but it is ever the -trial of the scrupulous explorer to be saluted with the impatient scorn -of chatterers who attempt only the smallest achievements, being indeed -equipped for no other. And it were well if all such could be admonished -to discriminate judgments of which the true subject-matter lies -entirely beyond their reach, from those of which the elements may be -compassed by a narrow and superficial survey. - -This speech was delivered with an energy and readiness quite unusual -with Mr. Casaubon. It was not indeed entirely an improvisation, but had -taken shape in inward colloquy, and rushed out like the round grains -from a fruit when sudden heat cracks it. Dorothea was not only his -wife: she was a personification of that shallow world which surrounds -the appreciated or desponding author. - -Dorothea was indignant in her turn. Had she not been repressing -everything in herself except the desire to enter into some fellowship -with her husbands chief interests? - -My judgment _was_ a very superficial onesuch as I am capable of -forming, she answered, with a prompt resentment, that needed no -rehearsal. You showed me the rows of notebooksyou have often spoken -of themyou have often said that they wanted digesting. But I never -heard you speak of the writing that is to be published. Those were very -simple facts, and my judgment went no farther. I only begged you to let -me be of some good to you. - -Dorothea rose to leave the table and Mr. Casaubon made no reply, taking -up a letter which lay beside him as if to reperuse it. Both were -shocked at their mutual situationthat each should have betrayed anger -towards the other. If they had been at home, settled at Lowick in -ordinary life among their neighbors, the clash would have been less -embarrassing: but on a wedding journey, the express object of which is -to isolate two people on the ground that they are all the world to each -other, the sense of disagreement is, to say the least, confounding and -stultifying. To have changed your longitude extensively and placed -yourselves in a moral solitude in order to have small explosions, to -find conversation difficult and to hand a glass of water without -looking, can hardly be regarded as satisfactory fulfilment even to the -toughest minds. To Dorotheas inexperienced sensitiveness, it seemed -like a catastrophe, changing all prospects; and to Mr. Casaubon it was -a new pain, he never having been on a wedding journey before, or found -himself in that close union which was more of a subjection than he had -been able to imagine, since this charming young bride not only obliged -him to much consideration on her behalf (which he had sedulously -given), but turned out to be capable of agitating him cruelly just -where he most needed soothing. Instead of getting a soft fence against -the cold, shadowy, unapplausive audience of his life, had he only given -it a more substantial presence? - -Neither of them felt it possible to speak again at present. To have -reversed a previous arrangement and declined to go out would have been -a show of persistent anger which Dorotheas conscience shrank from, -seeing that she already began to feel herself guilty. However just her -indignation might be, her ideal was not to claim justice, but to give -tenderness. So when the carriage came to the door, she drove with Mr. -Casaubon to the Vatican, walked with him through the stony avenue of -inscriptions, and when she parted with him at the entrance to the -Library, went on through the Museum out of mere listlessness as to what -was around her. She had not spirit to turn round and say that she would -drive anywhere. It was when Mr. Casaubon was quitting her that Naumann -had first seen her, and he had entered the long gallery of sculpture at -the same time with her; but here Naumann had to await Ladislaw with -whom he was to settle a bet of champagne about an enigmatical -mediaeval-looking figure there. After they had examined the figure, and -had walked on finishing their dispute, they had parted, Ladislaw -lingering behind while Naumann had gone into the Hall of Statues where -he again saw Dorothea, and saw her in that brooding abstraction which -made her pose remarkable. She did not really see the streak of sunlight -on the floor more than she saw the statues: she was inwardly seeing the -light of years to come in her own home and over the English fields and -elms and hedge-bordered highroads; and feeling that the way in which -they might be filled with joyful devotedness was not so clear to her as -it had been. But in Dorotheas mind there was a current into which all -thought and feeling were apt sooner or later to flowthe reaching -forward of the whole consciousness towards the fullest truth, the least -partial good. There was clearly something better than anger and -despondency. - - - - -CHAPTER XXI. - -Hire facounde eke full womanly and plain, -No contrefeted termes had she -To semen wise. -CHAUCER. - - -It was in that way Dorothea came to be sobbing as soon as she was -securely alone. But she was presently roused by a knock at the door, -which made her hastily dry her eyes before saying, Come in. Tantripp -had brought a card, and said that there was a gentleman waiting in the -lobby. The courier had told him that only Mrs. Casaubon was at home, -but he said he was a relation of Mr. Casaubons: would she see him? - -Yes, said Dorothea, without pause; show him into the salon. Her -chief impressions about young Ladislaw were that when she had seen him -at Lowick she had been made aware of Mr. Casaubons generosity towards -him, and also that she had been interested in his own hesitation about -his career. She was alive to anything that gave her an opportunity for -active sympathy, and at this moment it seemed as if the visit had come -to shake her out of her self-absorbed discontentto remind her of her -husbands goodness, and make her feel that she had now the right to be -his helpmate in all kind deeds. She waited a minute or two, but when -she passed into the next room there were just signs enough that she had -been crying to make her open face look more youthful and appealing than -usual. She met Ladislaw with that exquisite smile of good-will which is -unmixed with vanity, and held out her hand to him. He was the elder by -several years, but at that moment he looked much the younger, for his -transparent complexion flushed suddenly, and he spoke with a shyness -extremely unlike the ready indifference of his manner with his male -companion, while Dorothea became all the calmer with a wondering desire -to put him at ease. - -I was not aware that you and Mr. Casaubon were in Rome, until this -morning, when I saw you in the Vatican Museum, he said. I knew you at -oncebutI mean, that I concluded Mr. Casaubons address would be found -at the Poste Restante, and I was anxious to pay my respects to him and -you as early as possible. - -Pray sit down. He is not here now, but he will be glad to hear of you, -I am sure, said Dorothea, seating herself unthinkingly between the -fire and the light of the tall window, and pointing to a chair -opposite, with the quietude of a benignant matron. The signs of girlish -sorrow in her face were only the more striking. Mr. Casaubon is much -engaged; but you will leave your addresswill you not?and he will -write to you. - -You are very good, said Ladislaw, beginning to lose his diffidence in -the interest with which he was observing the signs of weeping which had -altered her face. My address is on my card. But if you will allow me I -will call again to-morrow at an hour when Mr. Casaubon is likely to be -at home. - -He goes to read in the Library of the Vatican every day, and you can -hardly see him except by an appointment. Especially now. We are about -to leave Rome, and he is very busy. He is usually away almost from -breakfast till dinner. But I am sure he will wish you to dine with us. - -Will Ladislaw was struck mute for a few moments. He had never been fond -of Mr. Casaubon, and if it had not been for the sense of obligation, -would have laughed at him as a Bat of erudition. But the idea of this -dried-up pedant, this elaborator of small explanations about as -important as the surplus stock of false antiquities kept in a vendors -back chamber, having first got this adorable young creature to marry -him, and then passing his honeymoon away from her, groping after his -mouldy futilities (Will was given to hyperbole)this sudden picture -stirred him with a sort of comic disgust: he was divided between the -impulse to laugh aloud and the equally unseasonable impulse to burst -into scornful invective. - -For an instant he felt that the struggle was causing a queer contortion -of his mobile features, but with a good effort he resolved it into -nothing more offensive than a merry smile. - -Dorothea wondered; but the smile was irresistible, and shone back from -her face too. Will Ladislaws smile was delightful, unless you were -angry with him beforehand: it was a gush of inward light illuminating -the transparent skin as well as the eyes, and playing about every curve -and line as if some Ariel were touching them with a new charm, and -banishing forever the traces of moodiness. The reflection of that smile -could not but have a little merriment in it too, even under dark -eyelashes still moist, as Dorothea said inquiringly, Something amuses -you? - -Yes, said Will, quick in finding resources. I am thinking of the -sort of figure I cut the first time I saw you, when you annihilated my -poor sketch with your criticism. - -My criticism? said Dorothea, wondering still more. Surely not. I -always feel particularly ignorant about painting. - -I suspected you of knowing so much, that you knew how to say just what -was most cutting. You saidI dare say you dont remember it as I -dothat the relation of my sketch to nature was quite hidden from you. -At least, you implied that. Will could laugh now as well as smile. - -That was really my ignorance, said Dorothea, admiring Wills -good-humor. I must have said so only because I never could see any -beauty in the pictures which my uncle told me all judges thought very -fine. And I have gone about with just the same ignorance in Rome. There -are comparatively few paintings that I can really enjoy. At first when -I enter a room where the walls are covered with frescos, or with rare -pictures, I feel a kind of awelike a child present at great ceremonies -where there are grand robes and processions; I feel myself in the -presence of some higher life than my own. But when I begin to examine -the pictures one by one the life goes out of them, or else is something -violent and strange to me. It must be my own dulness. I am seeing so -much all at once, and not understanding half of it. That always makes -one feel stupid. It is painful to be told that anything is very fine -and not be able to feel that it is finesomething like being blind, -while people talk of the sky. - -Oh, there is a great deal in the feeling for art which must be -acquired, said Will. (It was impossible now to doubt the directness of -Dorotheas confession.) Art is an old language with a great many -artificial affected styles, and sometimes the chief pleasure one gets -out of knowing them is the mere sense of knowing. I enjoy the art of -all sorts here immensely; but I suppose if I could pick my enjoyment to -pieces I should find it made up of many different threads. There is -something in daubing a little ones self, and having an idea of the -process. - -You mean perhaps to be a painter? said Dorothea, with a new direction -of interest. You mean to make painting your profession? Mr. Casaubon -will like to hear that you have chosen a profession. - -No, oh no, said Will, with some coldness. I have quite made up my -mind against it. It is too one-sided a life. I have been seeing a great -deal of the German artists here: I travelled from Frankfort with one of -them. Some are fine, even brilliant fellowsbut I should not like to -get into their way of looking at the world entirely from the studio -point of view. - -That I can understand, said Dorothea, cordially. And in Rome it -seems as if there were so many things which are more wanted in the -world than pictures. But if you have a genius for painting, would it -not be right to take that as a guide? Perhaps you might do better -things than theseor different, so that there might not be so many -pictures almost all alike in the same place. - -There was no mistaking this simplicity, and Will was won by it into -frankness. A man must have a very rare genius to make changes of that -sort. I am afraid mine would not carry me even to the pitch of doing -well what has been done already, at least not so well as to make it -worth while. And I should never succeed in anything by dint of -drudgery. If things dont come easily to me I never get them. - -I have heard Mr. Casaubon say that he regrets your want of patience, -said Dorothea, gently. She was rather shocked at this mode of taking -all life as a holiday. - -Yes, I know Mr. Casaubons opinion. He and I differ. - -The slight streak of contempt in this hasty reply offended Dorothea. -She was all the more susceptible about Mr. Casaubon because of her -mornings trouble. - -Certainly you differ, she said, rather proudly. I did not think of -comparing you: such power of persevering devoted labor as Mr. -Casaubons is not common. - -Will saw that she was offended, but this only gave an additional -impulse to the new irritation of his latent dislike towards Mr. -Casaubon. It was too intolerable that Dorothea should be worshipping -this husband: such weakness in a woman is pleasant to no man but the -husband in question. Mortals are easily tempted to pinch the life out -of their neighbors buzzing glory, and think that such killing is no -murder. - -No, indeed, he answered, promptly. And therefore it is a pity that -it should be thrown away, as so much English scholarship is, for want -of knowing what is being done by the rest of the world. If Mr. Casaubon -read German he would save himself a great deal of trouble. - -I do not understand you, said Dorothea, startled and anxious. - -I merely mean, said Will, in an offhand way, that the Germans have -taken the lead in historical inquiries, and they laugh at results which -are got by groping about in woods with a pocket-compass while they have -made good roads. When I was with Mr. Casaubon I saw that he deafened -himself in that direction: it was almost against his will that he read -a Latin treatise written by a German. I was very sorry. - -Will only thought of giving a good pinch that would annihilate that -vaunted laboriousness, and was unable to imagine the mode in which -Dorothea would be wounded. Young Mr. Ladislaw was not at all deep -himself in German writers; but very little achievement is required in -order to pity another mans shortcomings. - -Poor Dorothea felt a pang at the thought that the labor of her -husbands life might be void, which left her no energy to spare for the -question whether this young relative who was so much obliged to him -ought not to have repressed his observation. She did not even speak, -but sat looking at her hands, absorbed in the piteousness of that -thought. - -Will, however, having given that annihilating pinch, was rather -ashamed, imagining from Dorotheas silence that he had offended her -still more; and having also a conscience about plucking the -tail-feathers from a benefactor. - -I regretted it especially, he resumed, taking the usual course from -detraction to insincere eulogy, because of my gratitude and respect -towards my cousin. It would not signify so much in a man whose talents -and character were less distinguished. - -Dorothea raised her eyes, brighter than usual with excited feeling, and -said in her saddest recitative, How I wish I had learned German when I -was at Lausanne! There were plenty of German teachers. But now I can be -of no use. - -There was a new light, but still a mysterious light, for Will in -Dorotheas last words. The question how she had come to accept Mr. -Casaubonwhich he had dismissed when he first saw her by saying that -she must be disagreeable in spite of appearanceswas not now to be -answered on any such short and easy method. Whatever else she might be, -she was not disagreeable. She was not coldly clever and indirectly -satirical, but adorably simple and full of feeling. She was an angel -beguiled. It would be a unique delight to wait and watch for the -melodious fragments in which her heart and soul came forth so directly -and ingenuously. The Aeolian harp again came into his mind. - -She must have made some original romance for herself in this marriage. -And if Mr. Casaubon had been a dragon who had carried her off to his -lair with his talons simply and without legal forms, it would have been -an unavoidable feat of heroism to release her and fall at her feet. But -he was something more unmanageable than a dragon: he was a benefactor -with collective society at his back, and he was at that moment entering -the room in all the unimpeachable correctness of his demeanor, while -Dorothea was looking animated with a newly roused alarm and regret, and -Will was looking animated with his admiring speculation about her -feelings. - -Mr. Casaubon felt a surprise which was quite unmixed with pleasure, but -he did not swerve from his usual politeness of greeting, when Will rose -and explained his presence. Mr. Casaubon was less happy than usual, and -this perhaps made him look all the dimmer and more faded; else, the -effect might easily have been produced by the contrast of his young -cousins appearance. The first impression on seeing Will was one of -sunny brightness, which added to the uncertainty of his changing -expression. Surely, his very features changed their form, his jaw -looked sometimes large and sometimes small; and the little ripple in -his nose was a preparation for metamorphosis. When he turned his head -quickly his hair seemed to shake out light, and some persons thought -they saw decided genius in this coruscation. Mr. Casaubon, on the -contrary, stood rayless. - -As Dorotheas eyes were turned anxiously on her husband she was perhaps -not insensible to the contrast, but it was only mingled with other -causes in making her more conscious of that new alarm on his behalf -which was the first stirring of a pitying tenderness fed by the -realities of his lot and not by her own dreams. Yet it was a source of -greater freedom to her that Will was there; his young equality was -agreeable, and also perhaps his openness to conviction. She felt an -immense need of some one to speak to, and she had never before seen any -one who seemed so quick and pliable, so likely to understand -everything. - -Mr. Casaubon gravely hoped that Will was passing his time profitably as -well as pleasantly in Romehad thought his intention was to remain in -South Germanybut begged him to come and dine to-morrow, when he could -converse more at large: at present he was somewhat weary. Ladislaw -understood, and accepting the invitation immediately took his leave. - -Dorotheas eyes followed her husband anxiously, while he sank down -wearily at the end of a sofa, and resting his elbow supported his head -and looked on the floor. A little flushed, and with bright eyes, she -seated herself beside him, and said - -Forgive me for speaking so hastily to you this morning. I was wrong. I -fear I hurt you and made the day more burdensome. - -I am glad that you feel that, my dear, said Mr. Casaubon. He spoke -quietly and bowed his head a little, but there was still an uneasy -feeling in his eyes as he looked at her. - -But you do forgive me? said Dorothea, with a quick sob. In her need -for some manifestation of feeling she was ready to exaggerate her own -fault. Would not love see returning penitence afar off, and fall on its -neck and kiss it? - -My dear Dorotheawho with repentance is not satisfied, is not of -heaven nor earth:you do not think me worthy to be banished by that -severe sentence, said Mr. Casaubon, exerting himself to make a strong -statement, and also to smile faintly. - -Dorothea was silent, but a tear which had come up with the sob would -insist on falling. - -You are excited, my dear. And I also am feeling some unpleasant -consequences of too much mental disturbance, said Mr. Casaubon. In -fact, he had it in his thought to tell her that she ought not to have -received young Ladislaw in his absence: but he abstained, partly from -the sense that it would be ungracious to bring a new complaint in the -moment of her penitent acknowledgment, partly because he wanted to -avoid further agitation of himself by speech, and partly because he was -too proud to betray that jealousy of disposition which was not so -exhausted on his scholarly compeers that there was none to spare in -other directions. There is a sort of jealousy which needs very little -fire: it is hardly a passion, but a blight bred in the cloudy, damp -despondency of uneasy egoism. - -I think it is time for us to dress, he added, looking at his watch. -They both rose, and there was never any further allusion between them -to what had passed on this day. - -But Dorothea remembered it to the last with the vividness with which we -all remember epochs in our experience when some dear expectation dies, -or some new motive is born. Today she had begun to see that she had -been under a wild illusion in expecting a response to her feeling from -Mr. Casaubon, and she had felt the waking of a presentiment that there -might be a sad consciousness in his life which made as great a need on -his side as on her own. - -We are all of us born in moral stupidity, taking the world as an udder -to feed our supreme selves: Dorothea had early begun to emerge from -that stupidity, but yet it had been easier to her to imagine how she -would devote herself to Mr. Casaubon, and become wise and strong in his -strength and wisdom, than to conceive with that distinctness which is -no longer reflection but feelingan idea wrought back to the directness -of sense, like the solidity of objectsthat he had an equivalent centre -of self, whence the lights and shadows must always fall with a certain -difference. - - - - -CHAPTER XXII. - -Nous cusames longtemps; elle tait simple et bonne. -Ne sachant pas le mal, elle faisait le bien; -Des richesses du coeur elle me fit laumne, -Et tout en coutant comme le coeur se donne, -Sans oser y penser je lui donnai le mien; -Elle emporta ma vie, et nen sut jamais rien. -ALFRED DE MUSSET. - - -Will Ladislaw was delightfully agreeable at dinner the next day, and -gave no opportunity for Mr. Casaubon to show disapprobation. On the -contrary it seemed to Dorothea that Will had a happier way of drawing -her husband into conversation and of deferentially listening to him -than she had ever observed in any one before. To be sure, the listeners -about Tipton were not highly gifted! Will talked a good deal himself, -but what he said was thrown in with such rapidity, and with such an -unimportant air of saying something by the way, that it seemed a gay -little chime after the great bell. If Will was not always perfect, this -was certainly one of his good days. He described touches of incident -among the poor people in Rome, only to be seen by one who could move -about freely; he found himself in agreement with Mr. Casaubon as to the -unsound opinions of Middleton concerning the relations of Judaism and -Catholicism; and passed easily to a half-enthusiastic half-playful -picture of the enjoyment he got out of the very miscellaneousness of -Rome, which made the mind flexible with constant comparison, and saved -you from seeing the worlds ages as a set of box-like partitions -without vital connection. Mr. Casaubons studies, Will observed, had -always been of too broad a kind for that, and he had perhaps never felt -any such sudden effect, but for himself he confessed that Rome had -given him quite a new sense of history as a whole: the fragments -stimulated his imagination and made him constructive. Then -occasionally, but not too often, he appealed to Dorothea, and discussed -what she said, as if her sentiment were an item to be considered in the -final judgment even of the Madonna di Foligno or the Laocoon. A sense -of contributing to form the worlds opinion makes conversation -particularly cheerful; and Mr. Casaubon too was not without his pride -in his young wife, who spoke better than most women, as indeed he had -perceived in choosing her. - -Since things were going on so pleasantly, Mr. Casaubons statement that -his labors in the Library would be suspended for a couple of days, and -that after a brief renewal he should have no further reason for staying -in Rome, encouraged Will to urge that Mrs. Casaubon should not go away -without seeing a studio or two. Would not Mr. Casaubon take her? That -sort of thing ought not to be missed: it was quite special: it was a -form of life that grew like a small fresh vegetation with its -population of insects on huge fossils. Will would be happy to conduct -themnot to anything wearisome, only to a few examples. - -Mr. Casaubon, seeing Dorothea look earnestly towards him, could not but -ask her if she would be interested in such visits: he was now at her -service during the whole day; and it was agreed that Will should come -on the morrow and drive with them. - -Will could not omit Thorwaldsen, a living celebrity about whom even Mr. -Casaubon inquired, but before the day was far advanced he led the way -to the studio of his friend Adolf Naumann, whom he mentioned as one of -the chief renovators of Christian art, one of those who had not only -revived but expanded that grand conception of supreme events as -mysteries at which the successive ages were spectators, and in relation -to which the great souls of all periods became as it were -contemporaries. Will added that he had made himself Naumanns pupil for -the nonce. - -I have been making some oil-sketches under him, said Will. I hate -copying. I must put something of my own in. Naumann has been painting -the Saints drawing the Car of the Church, and I have been making a -sketch of Marlowes Tamburlaine Driving the Conquered Kings in his -Chariot. I am not so ecclesiastical as Naumann, and I sometimes twit -him with his excess of meaning. But this time I mean to outdo him in -breadth of intention. I take Tamburlaine in his chariot for the -tremendous course of the worlds physical history lashing on the -harnessed dynasties. In my opinion, that is a good mythical -interpretation. Will here looked at Mr. Casaubon, who received this -offhand treatment of symbolism very uneasily, and bowed with a neutral -air. - -The sketch must be very grand, if it conveys so much, said Dorothea. -I should need some explanation even of the meaning you give. Do you -intend Tamburlaine to represent earthquakes and volcanoes? - -Oh yes, said Will, laughing, and migrations of races and clearings -of forestsand America and the steam-engine. Everything you can -imagine! - -What a difficult kind of shorthand! said Dorothea, smiling towards -her husband. It would require all your knowledge to be able to read -it. - -Mr. Casaubon blinked furtively at Will. He had a suspicion that he was -being laughed at. But it was not possible to include Dorothea in the -suspicion. - -They found Naumann painting industriously, but no model was present; -his pictures were advantageously arranged, and his own plain vivacious -person set off by a dove-colored blouse and a maroon velvet cap, so -that everything was as fortunate as if he had expected the beautiful -young English lady exactly at that time. - -The painter in his confident English gave little dissertations on his -finished and unfinished subjects, seeming to observe Mr. Casaubon as -much as he did Dorothea. Will burst in here and there with ardent words -of praise, marking out particular merits in his friends work; and -Dorothea felt that she was getting quite new notions as to the -significance of Madonnas seated under inexplicable canopied thrones -with the simple country as a background, and of saints with -architectural models in their hands, or knives accidentally wedged in -their skulls. Some things which had seemed monstrous to her were -gathering intelligibility and even a natural meaning: but all this was -apparently a branch of knowledge in which Mr. Casaubon had not -interested himself. - -I think I would rather feel that painting is beautiful than have to -read it as an enigma; but I should learn to understand these pictures -sooner than yours with the very wide meaning, said Dorothea, speaking -to Will. - -Dont speak of my painting before Naumann, said Will. He will tell -you, it is all _pfuscherei_, which is his most opprobrious word! - -Is that true? said Dorothea, turning her sincere eyes on Naumann, who -made a slight grimace and said - -Oh, he does not mean it seriously with painting. His walk must be -_belles-lettres_. That is wi-ide. - -Naumanns pronunciation of the vowel seemed to stretch the word -satirically. Will did not half like it, but managed to laugh: and Mr. -Casaubon, while he felt some disgust at the artists German accent, -began to entertain a little respect for his judicious severity. - -The respect was not diminished when Naumann, after drawing Will aside -for a moment and looking, first at a large canvas, then at Mr. -Casaubon, came forward again and said - -My friend Ladislaw thinks you will pardon me, sir, if I say that a -sketch of your head would be invaluable to me for the St. Thomas -Aquinas in my picture there. It is too much to ask; but I so seldom see -just what I wantthe idealistic in the real. - -You astonish me greatly, sir, said Mr. Casaubon, his looks improved -with a glow of delight; but if my poor physiognomy, which I have been -accustomed to regard as of the commonest order, can be of any use to -you in furnishing some traits for the angelical doctor, I shall feel -honored. That is to say, if the operation will not be a lengthy one; -and if Mrs. Casaubon will not object to the delay. - -As for Dorothea, nothing could have pleased her more, unless it had -been a miraculous voice pronouncing Mr. Casaubon the wisest and -worthiest among the sons of men. In that case her tottering faith would -have become firm again. - -Naumanns apparatus was at hand in wonderful completeness, and the -sketch went on at once as well as the conversation. Dorothea sat down -and subsided into calm silence, feeling happier than she had done for a -long while before. Every one about her seemed good, and she said to -herself that Rome, if she had only been less ignorant, would have been -full of beauty: its sadness would have been winged with hope. No nature -could be less suspicious than hers: when she was a child she believed -in the gratitude of wasps and the honorable susceptibility of sparrows, -and was proportionately indignant when their baseness was made -manifest. - -The adroit artist was asking Mr. Casaubon questions about English -polities, which brought long answers, and, Will meanwhile had perched -himself on some steps in the background overlooking all. - -Presently Naumann saidNow if I could lay this by for half an hour and -take it up againcome and look, LadislawI think it is perfect so far. - -Will vented those adjuring interjections which imply that admiration is -too strong for syntax; and Naumann said in a tone of piteous regret - -Ahnowif I could but have had morebut you have other engagementsI -could not ask itor even to come again to-morrow. - -Oh, let us stay! said Dorothea. We have nothing to do to-day except -go about, have we? she added, looking entreatingly at Mr. Casaubon. -It would be a pity not to make the head as good as possible. - -I am at your service, sir, in the matter, said Mr. Casaubon, with -polite condescension. Having given up the interior of my head to -idleness, it is as well that the exterior should work in this way. - -You are unspeakably goodnow I am happy! said Naumann, and then went -on in German to Will, pointing here and there to the sketch as if he -were considering that. Putting it aside for a moment, he looked round -vaguely, as if seeking some occupation for his visitors, and afterwards -turning to Mr. Casaubon, said - -Perhaps the beautiful bride, the gracious lady, would not be unwilling -to let me fill up the time by trying to make a slight sketch of -hernot, of course, as you see, for that pictureonly as a single -study. - -Mr. Casaubon, bowing, doubted not that Mrs. Casaubon would oblige him, -and Dorothea said, at once, Where shall I put myself? - -Naumann was all apologies in asking her to stand, and allow him to -adjust her attitude, to which she submitted without any of the affected -airs and laughs frequently thought necessary on such occasions, when -the painter said, It is as Santa Clara that I want you to -standleaning so, with your cheek against your handsolooking at that -stool, please, so! - -Will was divided between the inclination to fall at the Saints feet -and kiss her robe, and the temptation to knock Naumann down while he -was adjusting her arm. All this was impudence and desecration, and he -repented that he had brought her. - -The artist was diligent, and Will recovering himself moved about and -occupied Mr. Casaubon as ingeniously as he could; but he did not in the -end prevent the time from seeming long to that gentleman, as was clear -from his expressing a fear that Mrs. Casaubon would be tired. Naumann -took the hint and said - -Now, sir, if you can oblige me again; I will release the lady-wife. - -So Mr. Casaubons patience held out further, and when after all it -turned out that the head of Saint Thomas Aquinas would be more perfect -if another sitting could be had, it was granted for the morrow. On the -morrow Santa Clara too was retouched more than once. The result of all -was so far from displeasing to Mr. Casaubon, that he arranged for the -purchase of the picture in which Saint Thomas Aquinas sat among the -doctors of the Church in a disputation too abstract to be represented, -but listened to with more or less attention by an audience above. The -Santa Clara, which was spoken of in the second place, Naumann declared -himself to be dissatisfied withhe could not, in conscience, engage to -make a worthy picture of it; so about the Santa Clara the arrangement -was conditional. - -I will not dwell on Naumanns jokes at the expense of Mr. Casaubon that -evening, or on his dithyrambs about Dorotheas charm, in all which Will -joined, but with a difference. No sooner did Naumann mention any detail -of Dorotheas beauty, than Will got exasperated at his presumption: -there was grossness in his choice of the most ordinary words, and what -business had he to talk of her lips? She was not a woman to be spoken -of as other women were. Will could not say just what he thought, but he -became irritable. And yet, when after some resistance he had consented -to take the Casaubons to his friends studio, he had been allured by -the gratification of his pride in being the person who could grant -Naumann such an opportunity of studying her lovelinessor rather her -divineness, for the ordinary phrases which might apply to mere bodily -prettiness were not applicable to her. (Certainly all Tipton and its -neighborhood, as well as Dorothea herself, would have been surprised at -her beauty being made so much of. In that part of the world Miss Brooke -had been only a fine young woman.) - -Oblige me by letting the subject drop, Naumann. Mrs. Casaubon is not -to be talked of as if she were a model, said Will. Naumann stared at -him. - -Schn! I will talk of my Aquinas. The head is not a bad type, after -all. I dare say the great scholastic himself would have been flattered -to have his portrait asked for. Nothing like these starchy doctors for -vanity! It was as I thought: he cared much less for her portrait than -his own. - -Hes a cursed white-blooded pedantic coxcomb, said Will, with -gnashing impetuosity. His obligations to Mr. Casaubon were not known to -his hearer, but Will himself was thinking of them, and wishing that he -could discharge them all by a check. - -Naumann gave a shrug and said, It is good they go away soon, my dear. -They are spoiling your fine temper. - -All Wills hope and contrivance were now concentrated on seeing -Dorothea when she was alone. He only wanted her to take more emphatic -notice of him; he only wanted to be something more special in her -remembrance than he could yet believe himself likely to be. He was -rather impatient under that open ardent good-will, which he saw was her -usual state of feeling. The remote worship of a woman throned out of -their reach plays a great part in mens lives, but in most cases the -worshipper longs for some queenly recognition, some approving sign by -which his souls sovereign may cheer him without descending from her -high place. That was precisely what Will wanted. But there were plenty -of contradictions in his imaginative demands. It was beautiful to see -how Dorotheas eyes turned with wifely anxiety and beseeching to Mr. -Casaubon: she would have lost some of her halo if she had been without -that duteous preoccupation; and yet at the next moment the husbands -sandy absorption of such nectar was too intolerable; and Wills longing -to say damaging things about him was perhaps not the less tormenting -because he felt the strongest reasons for restraining it. - -Will had not been invited to dine the next day. Hence he persuaded -himself that he was bound to call, and that the only eligible time was -the middle of the day, when Mr. Casaubon would not be at home. - -Dorothea, who had not been made aware that her former reception of Will -had displeased her husband, had no hesitation about seeing him, -especially as he might be come to pay a farewell visit. When he entered -she was looking at some cameos which she had been buying for Celia. She -greeted Will as if his visit were quite a matter of course, and said at -once, having a cameo bracelet in her hand - -I am so glad you are come. Perhaps you understand all about cameos, -and can tell me if these are really good. I wished to have you with us -in choosing them, but Mr. Casaubon objected: he thought there was not -time. He will finish his work to-morrow, and we shall go away in three -days. I have been uneasy about these cameos. Pray sit down and look at -them. - -I am not particularly knowing, but there can be no great mistake about -these little Homeric bits: they are exquisitely neat. And the color is -fine: it will just suit you. - -Oh, they are for my sister, who has quite a different complexion. You -saw her with me at Lowick: she is light-haired and very prettyat least -I think so. We were never so long away from each other in our lives -before. She is a great pet and never was naughty in her life. I found -out before I came away that she wanted me to buy her some cameos, and I -should be sorry for them not to be goodafter their kind. Dorothea -added the last words with a smile. - -You seem not to care about cameos, said Will, seating himself at some -distance from her, and observing her while she closed the cases. - -No, frankly, I dont think them a great object in life, said -Dorothea. - -I fear you are a heretic about art generally. How is that? I should -have expected you to be very sensitive to the beautiful everywhere. - -I suppose I am dull about many things, said Dorothea, simply. I -should like to make life beautifulI mean everybodys life. And then -all this immense expense of art, that seems somehow to lie outside life -and make it no better for the world, pains one. It spoils my enjoyment -of anything when I am made to think that most people are shut out from -it. - -I call that the fanaticism of sympathy, said Will, impetuously. You -might say the same of landscape, of poetry, of all refinement. If you -carried it out you ought to be miserable in your own goodness, and turn -evil that you might have no advantage over others. The best piety is to -enjoywhen you can. You are doing the most then to save the earths -character as an agreeable planet. And enjoyment radiates. It is of no -use to try and take care of all the world; that is being taken care of -when you feel delightin art or in anything else. Would you turn all -the youth of the world into a tragic chorus, wailing and moralizing -over misery? I suspect that you have some false belief in the virtues -of misery, and want to make your life a martyrdom. Will had gone -further than he intended, and checked himself. But Dorotheas thought -was not taking just the same direction as his own, and she answered -without any special emotion - -Indeed you mistake me. I am not a sad, melancholy creature. I am never -unhappy long together. I am angry and naughtynot like Celia: I have a -great outburst, and then all seems glorious again. I cannot help -believing in glorious things in a blind sort of way. I should be quite -willing to enjoy the art here, but there is so much that I dont know -the reason ofso much that seems to me a consecration of ugliness -rather than beauty. The painting and sculpture may be wonderful, but -the feeling is often low and brutal, and sometimes even ridiculous. -Here and there I see what takes me at once as noblesomething that I -might compare with the Alban Mountains or the sunset from the Pincian -Hill; but that makes it the greater pity that there is so little of the -best kind among all that mass of things over which men have toiled so. - -Of course there is always a great deal of poor work: the rarer things -want that soil to grow in. - -Oh dear, said Dorothea, taking up that thought into the chief current -of her anxiety; I see it must be very difficult to do anything good. I -have often felt since I have been in Rome that most of our lives would -look much uglier and more bungling than the pictures, if they could be -put on the wall. - -Dorothea parted her lips again as if she were going to say more, but -changed her mind and paused. - -You are too youngit is an anachronism for you to have such thoughts, -said Will, energetically, with a quick shake of the head habitual to -him. You talk as if you had never known any youth. It is monstrousas -if you had had a vision of Hades in your childhood, like the boy in the -legend. You have been brought up in some of those horrible notions that -choose the sweetest women to devourlike Minotaurs. And now you will go -and be shut up in that stone prison at Lowick: you will be buried -alive. It makes me savage to think of it! I would rather never have -seen you than think of you with such a prospect. - -Will again feared that he had gone too far; but the meaning we attach -to words depends on our feeling, and his tone of angry regret had so -much kindness in it for Dorotheas heart, which had always been giving -out ardor and had never been fed with much from the living beings -around her, that she felt a new sense of gratitude and answered with a -gentle smile - -It is very good of you to be anxious about me. It is because you did -not like Lowick yourself: you had set your heart on another kind of -life. But Lowick is my chosen home. - -The last sentence was spoken with an almost solemn cadence, and Will -did not know what to say, since it would not be useful for him to -embrace her slippers, and tell her that he would die for her: it was -clear that she required nothing of the sort; and they were both silent -for a moment or two, when Dorothea began again with an air of saying at -last what had been in her mind beforehand. - -I wanted to ask you again about something you said the other day. -Perhaps it was half of it your lively way of speaking: I notice that -you like to put things strongly; I myself often exaggerate when I speak -hastily. - -What was it? said Will, observing that she spoke with a timidity -quite new in her. I have a hyperbolical tongue: it catches fire as it -goes. I dare say I shall have to retract. - -I mean what you said about the necessity of knowing GermanI mean, for -the subjects that Mr. Casaubon is engaged in. I have been thinking -about it; and it seems to me that with Mr. Casaubons learning he must -have before him the same materials as German scholarshas he not? -Dorotheas timidity was due to an indistinct consciousness that she was -in the strange situation of consulting a third person about the -adequacy of Mr. Casaubons learning. - -Not exactly the same materials, said Will, thinking that he would be -duly reserved. He is not an Orientalist, you know. He does not profess -to have more than second-hand knowledge there. - -But there are very valuable books about antiquities which were written -a long while ago by scholars who knew nothing about these modern -things; and they are still used. Why should Mr. Casaubons not be -valuable, like theirs? said Dorothea, with more remonstrant energy. -She was impelled to have the argument aloud, which she had been having -in her own mind. - -That depends on the line of study taken, said Will, also getting a -tone of rejoinder. The subject Mr. Casaubon has chosen is as changing -as chemistry: new discoveries are constantly making new points of view. -Who wants a system on the basis of the four elements, or a book to -refute Paracelsus? Do you not see that it is no use now to be crawling -a little way after men of the last centurymen like Bryantand -correcting their mistakes?living in a lumber-room and furbishing up -broken-legged theories about Chus and Mizraim? - -How can you bear to speak so lightly? said Dorothea, with a look -between sorrow and anger. If it were as you say, what could be sadder -than so much ardent labor all in vain? I wonder it does not affect you -more painfully, if you really think that a man like Mr. Casaubon, of so -much goodness, power, and learning, should in any way fail in what has -been the labor of his best years. She was beginning to be shocked that -she had got to such a point of supposition, and indignant with Will for -having led her to it. - -You questioned me about the matter of fact, not of feeling, said -Will. But if you wish to punish me for the fact, I submit. I am not in -a position to express my feeling toward Mr. Casaubon: it would be at -best a pensioners eulogy. - -Pray excuse me, said Dorothea, coloring deeply. I am aware, as you -say, that I am in fault in having introduced the subject. Indeed, I am -wrong altogether. Failure after long perseverance is much grander than -never to have a striving good enough to be called a failure. - -I quite agree with you, said Will, determined to change the -situationso much so that I have made up my mind not to run that risk -of never attaining a failure. Mr. Casaubons generosity has perhaps -been dangerous to me, and I mean to renounce the liberty it has given -me. I mean to go back to England shortly and work my own waydepend on -nobody else than myself. - -That is fineI respect that feeling, said Dorothea, with returning -kindness. But Mr. Casaubon, I am sure, has never thought of anything -in the matter except what was most for your welfare. - -She has obstinacy and pride enough to serve instead of love, now she -has married him, said Will to himself. Aloud he said, rising - -I shall not see you again. - -Oh, stay till Mr. Casaubon comes, said Dorothea, earnestly. I am so -glad we met in Rome. I wanted to know you. - -And I have made you angry, said Will. I have made you think ill of -me. - -Oh no. My sister tells me I am always angry with people who do not say -just what I like. But I hope I am not given to think ill of them. In -the end I am usually obliged to think ill of myself for being so -impatient. - -Still, you dont like me; I have made myself an unpleasant thought to -you. - -Not at all, said Dorothea, with the most open kindness. I like you -very much. - -Will was not quite contented, thinking that he would apparently have -been of more importance if he had been disliked. He said nothing, but -looked dull, not to say sulky. - -And I am quite interested to see what you will do, Dorothea went on -cheerfully. I believe devoutly in a natural difference of vocation. If -it were not for that belief, I suppose I should be very narrowthere -are so many things, besides painting, that I am quite ignorant of. You -would hardly believe how little I have taken in of music and -literature, which you know so much of. I wonder what your vocation will -turn out to be: perhaps you will be a poet? - -That depends. To be a poet is to have a soul so quick to discern that -no shade of quality escapes it, and so quick to feel, that discernment -is but a hand playing with finely ordered variety on the chords of -emotiona soul in which knowledge passes instantaneously into feeling, -and feeling flashes back as a new organ of knowledge. One may have that -condition by fits only. - -But you leave out the poems, said Dorothea. I think they are wanted -to complete the poet. I understand what you mean about knowledge -passing into feeling, for that seems to be just what I experience. But -I am sure I could never produce a poem. - -You _are_ a poemand that is to be the best part of a poetwhat makes -up the poets consciousness in his best moods, said Will, showing such -originality as we all share with the morning and the spring-time and -other endless renewals. - -I am very glad to hear it, said Dorothea, laughing out her words in a -bird-like modulation, and looking at Will with playful gratitude in her -eyes. What very kind things you say to me! - -I wish I could ever do anything that would be what you call kindthat -I could ever be of the slightest service to you. I fear I shall never -have the opportunity. Will spoke with fervor. - -Oh yes, said Dorothea, cordially. It will come; and I shall remember -how well you wish me. I quite hoped that we should be friends when I -first saw youbecause of your relationship to Mr. Casaubon. There was -a certain liquid brightness in her eyes, and Will was conscious that -his own were obeying a law of nature and filling too. The allusion to -Mr. Casaubon would have spoiled all if anything at that moment could -have spoiled the subduing power, the sweet dignity, of her noble -unsuspicious inexperience. - -And there is one thing even now that you can do, said Dorothea, -rising and walking a little way under the strength of a recurring -impulse. Promise me that you will not again, to any one, speak of that -subjectI mean about Mr. Casaubons writingsI mean in that kind of -way. It was I who led to it. It was my fault. But promise me. - -She had returned from her brief pacing and stood opposite Will, looking -gravely at him. - -Certainly, I will promise you, said Will, reddening however. If he -never said a cutting word about Mr. Casaubon again and left off -receiving favors from him, it would clearly be permissible to hate him -the more. The poet must know how to hate, says Goethe; and Will was at -least ready with that accomplishment. He said that he must go now -without waiting for Mr. Casaubon, whom he would come to take leave of -at the last moment. Dorothea gave him her hand, and they exchanged a -simple Good-by. - -But going out of the _porte cochere_ he met Mr. Casaubon, and that -gentleman, expressing the best wishes for his cousin, politely waived -the pleasure of any further leave-taking on the morrow, which would be -sufficiently crowded with the preparations for departure. - -I have something to tell you about our cousin Mr. Ladislaw, which I -think will heighten your opinion of him, said Dorothea to her husband -in the course of the evening. She had mentioned immediately on his -entering that Will had just gone away, and would come again, but Mr. -Casaubon had said, I met him outside, and we made our final adieux, I -believe, saying this with the air and tone by which we imply that any -subject, whether private or public, does not interest us enough to wish -for a further remark upon it. So Dorothea had waited. - -What is that, my love? said Mr Casaubon (he always said my love -when his manner was the coldest). - -He has made up his mind to leave off wandering at once, and to give up -his dependence on your generosity. He means soon to go back to England, -and work his own way. I thought you would consider that a good sign, -said Dorothea, with an appealing look into her husbands neutral face. - -Did he mention the precise order of occupation to which he would -addict himself? - -No. But he said that he felt the danger which lay for him in your -generosity. Of course he will write to you about it. Do you not think -better of him for his resolve? - -I shall await his communication on the subject, said Mr. Casaubon. - -I told him I was sure that the thing you considered in all you did for -him was his own welfare. I remembered your goodness in what you said -about him when I first saw him at Lowick, said Dorothea, putting her -hand on her husbands. - -I had a duty towards him, said Mr. Casaubon, laying his other hand on -Dorotheas in conscientious acceptance of her caress, but with a glance -which he could not hinder from being uneasy. The young man, I confess, -is not otherwise an object of interest to me, nor need we, I think, -discuss his future course, which it is not ours to determine beyond the -limits which I have sufficiently indicated. Dorothea did not mention -Will again. - - - - -BOOK III. -WAITING FOR DEATH. - - - - -CHAPTER XXIII. - -Your horses of the Sun, he said, - And first-rate whip Apollo! -Whateer they be, Ill eat my head, - But I will beat them hollow. - - -Fred Vincy, we have seen, had a debt on his mind, and though no such -immaterial burthen could depress that buoyant-hearted young gentleman -for many hours together, there were circumstances connected with this -debt which made the thought of it unusually importunate. The creditor -was Mr. Bambridge, a horse-dealer of the neighborhood, whose company -was much sought in Middlemarch by young men understood to be addicted -to pleasure. During the vacations Fred had naturally required more -amusements than he had ready money for, and Mr. Bambridge had been -accommodating enough not only to trust him for the hire of horses and -the accidental expense of ruining a fine hunter, but also to make a -small advance by which he might be able to meet some losses at -billiards. The total debt was a hundred and sixty pounds. Bambridge was -in no alarm about his money, being sure that young Vincy had backers; -but he had required something to show for it, and Fred had at first -given a bill with his own signature. Three months later he had renewed -this bill with the signature of Caleb Garth. On both occasions Fred had -felt confident that he should meet the bill himself, having ample funds -at disposal in his own hopefulness. You will hardly demand that his -confidence should have a basis in external facts; such confidence, we -know, is something less coarse and materialistic: it is a comfortable -disposition leading us to expect that the wisdom of providence or the -folly of our friends, the mysteries of luck or the still greater -mystery of our high individual value in the universe, will bring about -agreeable issues, such as are consistent with our good taste in -costume, and our general preference for the best style of thing. Fred -felt sure that he should have a present from his uncle, that he should -have a run of luck, that by dint of swapping he should gradually -metamorphose a horse worth forty pounds into a horse that would fetch a -hundred at any momentjudgment being always equivalent to an -unspecified sum in hard cash. And in any case, even supposing negations -which only a morbid distrust could imagine, Fred had always (at that -time) his fathers pocket as a last resource, so that his assets of -hopefulness had a sort of gorgeous superfluity about them. Of what -might be the capacity of his fathers pocket, Fred had only a vague -notion: was not trade elastic? And would not the deficiencies of one -year be made up for by the surplus of another? The Vincys lived in an -easy profuse way, not with any new ostentation, but according to the -family habits and traditions, so that the children had no standard of -economy, and the elder ones retained some of their infantine notion -that their father might pay for anything if he would. Mr. Vincy himself -had expensive Middlemarch habitsspent money on coursing, on his -cellar, and on dinner-giving, while mamma had those running accounts -with tradespeople, which give a cheerful sense of getting everything -one wants without any question of payment. But it was in the nature of -fathers, Fred knew, to bully one about expenses: there was always a -little storm over his extravagance if he had to disclose a debt, and -Fred disliked bad weather within doors. He was too filial to be -disrespectful to his father, and he bore the thunder with the certainty -that it was transient; but in the mean time it was disagreeable to see -his mother cry, and also to be obliged to look sulky instead of having -fun; for Fred was so good-tempered that if he looked glum under -scolding, it was chiefly for proprietys sake. The easier course -plainly, was to renew the bill with a friends signature. Why not? With -the superfluous securities of hope at his command, there was no reason -why he should not have increased other peoples liabilities to any -extent, but for the fact that men whose names were good for anything -were usually pessimists, indisposed to believe that the universal order -of things would necessarily be agreeable to an agreeable young -gentleman. - -With a favor to ask we review our list of friends, do justice to their -more amiable qualities, forgive their little offenses, and concerning -each in turn, try to arrive at the conclusion that he will be eager to -oblige us, our own eagerness to be obliged being as communicable as -other warmth. Still there is always a certain number who are dismissed -as but moderately eager until the others have refused; and it happened -that Fred checked off all his friends but one, on the ground that -applying to them would be disagreeable; being implicitly convinced that -he at least (whatever might be maintained about mankind generally) had -a right to be free from anything disagreeable. That he should ever fall -into a thoroughly unpleasant positionwear trousers shrunk with -washing, eat cold mutton, have to walk for want of a horse, or to duck -under in any sort of waywas an absurdity irreconcilable with those -cheerful intuitions implanted in him by nature. And Fred winced under -the idea of being looked down upon as wanting funds for small debts. -Thus it came to pass that the friend whom he chose to apply to was at -once the poorest and the kindestnamely, Caleb Garth. - -The Garths were very fond of Fred, as he was of them; for when he and -Rosamond were little ones, and the Garths were better off, the slight -connection between the two families through Mr. Featherstones double -marriage (the first to Mr. Garths sister, and the second to Mrs. -Vincys) had led to an acquaintance which was carried on between the -children rather than the parents: the children drank tea together out -of their toy teacups, and spent whole days together in play. Mary was a -little hoyden, and Fred at six years old thought her the nicest girl in -the world, making her his wife with a brass ring which he had cut from -an umbrella. Through all the stages of his education he had kept his -affection for the Garths, and his habit of going to their house as a -second home, though any intercourse between them and the elders of his -family had long ceased. Even when Caleb Garth was prosperous, the -Vincys were on condescending terms with him and his wife, for there -were nice distinctions of rank in Middlemarch; and though old -manufacturers could not any more than dukes be connected with none but -equals, they were conscious of an inherent social superiority which was -defined with great nicety in practice, though hardly expressible -theoretically. Since then Mr. Garth had failed in the building -business, which he had unfortunately added to his other avocations of -surveyor, valuer, and agent, had conducted that business for a time -entirely for the benefit of his assignees, and had been living -narrowly, exerting himself to the utmost that he might after all pay -twenty shillings in the pound. He had now achieved this, and from all -who did not think it a bad precedent, his honorable exertions had won -him due esteem; but in no part of the world is genteel visiting founded -on esteem, in the absence of suitable furniture and complete -dinner-service. Mrs. Vincy had never been at her ease with Mrs. Garth, -and frequently spoke of her as a woman who had had to work for her -breadmeaning that Mrs. Garth had been a teacher before her marriage; -in which case an intimacy with Lindley Murray and Mangnalls Questions -was something like a drapers discrimination of calico trademarks, or a -couriers acquaintance with foreign countries: no woman who was better -off needed that sort of thing. And since Mary had been keeping Mr. -Featherstones house, Mrs. Vincys want of liking for the Garths had -been converted into something more positive, by alarm lest Fred should -engage himself to this plain girl, whose parents lived in such a small -way. Fred, being aware of this, never spoke at home of his visits to -Mrs. Garth, which had of late become more frequent, the increasing -ardor of his affection for Mary inclining him the more towards those -who belonged to her. - -Mr. Garth had a small office in the town, and to this Fred went with -his request. He obtained it without much difficulty, for a large amount -of painful experience had not sufficed to make Caleb Garth cautious -about his own affairs, or distrustful of his fellow-men when they had -not proved themselves untrustworthy; and he had the highest opinion of -Fred, was sure the lad would turn out wellan open affectionate -fellow, with a good bottom to his characteryou might trust him for -anything. Such was Calebs psychological argument. He was one of those -rare men who are rigid to themselves and indulgent to others. He had a -certain shame about his neighbors errors, and never spoke of them -willingly; hence he was not likely to divert his mind from the best -mode of hardening timber and other ingenious devices in order to -preconceive those errors. If he had to blame any one, it was necessary -for him to move all the papers within his reach, or describe various -diagrams with his stick, or make calculations with the odd money in his -pocket, before he could begin; and he would rather do other mens work -than find fault with their doing. I fear he was a bad disciplinarian. - -When Fred stated the circumstances of his debt, his wish to meet it -without troubling his father, and the certainty that the money would be -forthcoming so as to cause no one any inconvenience, Caleb pushed his -spectacles upward, listened, looked into his favorites clear young -eyes, and believed him, not distinguishing confidence about the future -from veracity about the past; but he felt that it was an occasion for a -friendly hint as to conduct, and that before giving his signature he -must give a rather strong admonition. Accordingly, he took the paper -and lowered his spectacles, measured the space at his command, reached -his pen and examined it, dipped it in the ink and examined it again, -then pushed the paper a little way from him, lifted up his spectacles -again, showed a deepened depression in the outer angle of his bushy -eyebrows, which gave his face a peculiar mildness (pardon these details -for onceyou would have learned to love them if you had known Caleb -Garth), and said in a comfortable tone, - -It was a misfortune, eh, that breaking the horses knees? And then, -these exchanges, they dont answer when you have cute jockeys to deal -with. Youll be wiser another time, my boy. - -Whereupon Caleb drew down his spectacles, and proceeded to write his -signature with the care which he always gave to that performance; for -whatever he did in the way of business he did well. He contemplated the -large well-proportioned letters and final flourish, with his head a -trifle on one side for an instant, then handed it to Fred, said -Good-by, and returned forthwith to his absorption in a plan for Sir -James Chettams new farm-buildings. - -Either because his interest in this work thrust the incident of the -signature from his memory, or for some reason of which Caleb was more -conscious, Mrs. Garth remained ignorant of the affair. - -Since it occurred, a change had come over Freds sky, which altered his -view of the distance, and was the reason why his uncle Featherstones -present of money was of importance enough to make his color come and -go, first with a too definite expectation, and afterwards with a -proportionate disappointment. His failure in passing his examination, -had made his accumulation of college debts the more unpardonable by his -father, and there had been an unprecedented storm at home. Mr. Vincy -had sworn that if he had anything more of that sort to put up with, -Fred should turn out and get his living how he could; and he had never -yet quite recovered his good-humored tone to his son, who had -especially enraged him by saying at this stage of things that he did -not want to be a clergyman, and would rather not go on with that. -Fred was conscious that he would have been yet more severely dealt with -if his family as well as himself had not secretly regarded him as Mr. -Featherstones heir; that old gentlemans pride in him, and apparent -fondness for him, serving in the stead of more exemplary conductjust -as when a youthful nobleman steals jewellery we call the act -kleptomania, speak of it with a philosophical smile, and never think of -his being sent to the house of correction as if he were a ragged boy -who had stolen turnips. In fact, tacit expectations of what would be -done for him by uncle Featherstone determined the angle at which most -people viewed Fred Vincy in Middlemarch; and in his own consciousness, -what uncle Featherstone would do for him in an emergency, or what he -would do simply as an incorporated luck, formed always an immeasurable -depth of aerial perspective. But that present of bank-notes, once made, -was measurable, and being applied to the amount of the debt, showed a -deficit which had still to be filled up either by Freds judgment or -by luck in some other shape. For that little episode of the alleged -borrowing, in which he had made his father the agent in getting the -Bulstrode certificate, was a new reason against going to his father for -money towards meeting his actual debt. Fred was keen enough to foresee -that anger would confuse distinctions, and that his denial of having -borrowed expressly on the strength of his uncles will would be taken -as a falsehood. He had gone to his father and told him one vexatious -affair, and he had left another untold: in such cases the complete -revelation always produces the impression of a previous duplicity. Now -Fred piqued himself on keeping clear of lies, and even fibs; he often -shrugged his shoulders and made a significant grimace at what he called -Rosamonds fibs (it is only brothers who can associate such ideas with -a lovely girl); and rather than incur the accusation of falsehood he -would even incur some trouble and self-restraint. It was under strong -inward pressure of this kind that Fred had taken the wise step of -depositing the eighty pounds with his mother. It was a pity that he had -not at once given them to Mr. Garth; but he meant to make the sum -complete with another sixty, and with a view to this, he had kept -twenty pounds in his own pocket as a sort of seed-corn, which, planted -by judgment, and watered by luck, might yield more than threefolda -very poor rate of multiplication when the field is a young gentlemans -infinite soul, with all the numerals at command. - -Fred was not a gambler: he had not that specific disease in which the -suspension of the whole nervous energy on a chance or risk becomes as -necessary as the dram to the drunkard; he had only the tendency to that -diffusive form of gambling which has no alcoholic intensity, but is -carried on with the healthiest chyle-fed blood, keeping up a joyous -imaginative activity which fashions events according to desire, and -having no fears about its own weather, only sees the advantage there -must be to others in going aboard with it. Hopefulness has a pleasure -in making a throw of any kind, because the prospect of success is -certain; and only a more generous pleasure in offering as many as -possible a share in the stake. Fred liked play, especially billiards, -as he liked hunting or riding a steeple-chase; and he only liked it the -better because he wanted money and hoped to win. But the twenty pounds -worth of seed-corn had been planted in vain in the seductive green -plotall of it at least which had not been dispersed by the -roadsideand Fred found himself close upon the term of payment with no -money at command beyond the eighty pounds which he had deposited with -his mother. The broken-winded horse which he rode represented a present -which had been made to him a long while ago by his uncle Featherstone: -his father always allowed him to keep a horse, Mr. Vincys own habits -making him regard this as a reasonable demand even for a son who was -rather exasperating. This horse, then, was Freds property, and in his -anxiety to meet the imminent bill he determined to sacrifice a -possession without which life would certainly be worth little. He made -the resolution with a sense of heroismheroism forced on him by the -dread of breaking his word to Mr. Garth, by his love for Mary and awe -of her opinion. He would start for Houndsley horse-fair which was to be -held the next morning, andsimply sell his horse, bringing back the -money by coach?Well, the horse would hardly fetch more than thirty -pounds, and there was no knowing what might happen; it would be folly -to balk himself of luck beforehand. It was a hundred to one that some -good chance would fall in his way; the longer he thought of it, the -less possible it seemed that he should not have a good chance, and the -less reasonable that he should not equip himself with the powder and -shot for bringing it down. He would ride to Houndsley with Bambridge -and with Horrock the vet, and without asking them anything expressly, -he should virtually get the benefit of their opinion. Before he set -out, Fred got the eighty pounds from his mother. - -Most of those who saw Fred riding out of Middlemarch in company with -Bambridge and Horrock, on his way of course to Houndsley horse-fair, -thought that young Vincy was pleasure-seeking as usual; and but for an -unwonted consciousness of grave matters on hand, he himself would have -had a sense of dissipation, and of doing what might be expected of a -gay young fellow. Considering that Fred was not at all coarse, that he -rather looked down on the manners and speech of young men who had not -been to the university, and that he had written stanzas as pastoral and -unvoluptuous as his flute-playing, his attraction towards Bambridge and -Horrock was an interesting fact which even the love of horse-flesh -would not wholly account for without that mysterious influence of -Naming which determinates so much of mortal choice. Under any other -name than pleasure the society of Messieurs Bambridge and Horrock -must certainly have been regarded as monotonous; and to arrive with -them at Houndsley on a drizzling afternoon, to get down at the Red Lion -in a street shaded with coal-dust, and dine in a room furnished with a -dirt-enamelled map of the county, a bad portrait of an anonymous horse -in a stable, His Majesty George the Fourth with legs and cravat, and -various leaden spittoons, might have seemed a hard business, but for -the sustaining power of nomenclature which determined that the pursuit -of these things was gay. - -In Mr. Horrock there was certainly an apparent unfathomableness which -offered play to the imagination. Costume, at a glance, gave him a -thrilling association with horses (enough to specify the hat-brim which -took the slightest upward angle just to escape the suspicion of bending -downwards), and nature had given him a face which by dint of Mongolian -eyes, and a nose, mouth, and chin seeming to follow his hat-brim in a -moderate inclination upwards, gave the effect of a subdued unchangeable -sceptical smile, of all expressions the most tyrannous over a -susceptible mind, and, when accompanied by adequate silence, likely to -create the reputation of an invincible understanding, an infinite fund -of humortoo dry to flow, and probably in a state of immovable -crust,and a critical judgment which, if you could ever be fortunate -enough to know it, would be _the_ thing and no other. It is a -physiognomy seen in all vocations, but perhaps it has never been more -powerful over the youth of England than in a judge of horses. - -Mr. Horrock, at a question from Fred about his horses fetlock, turned -sideways in his saddle, and watched the horses action for the space of -three minutes, then turned forward, twitched his own bridle, and -remained silent with a profile neither more nor less sceptical than it -had been. - -The part thus played in dialogue by Mr. Horrock was terribly effective. -A mixture of passions was excited in Freda mad desire to thrash -Horrocks opinion into utterance, restrained by anxiety to retain the -advantage of his friendship. There was always the chance that Horrock -might say something quite invaluable at the right moment. - -Mr. Bambridge had more open manners, and appeared to give forth his -ideas without economy. He was loud, robust, and was sometimes spoken of -as being given to indulgencechiefly in swearing, drinking, and -beating his wife. Some people who had lost by him called him a vicious -man; but he regarded horse-dealing as the finest of the arts, and might -have argued plausibly that it had nothing to do with morality. He was -undeniably a prosperous man, bore his drinking better than others bore -their moderation, and, on the whole, flourished like the green -bay-tree. But his range of conversation was limited, and like the fine -old tune, Drops of brandy, gave you after a while a sense of -returning upon itself in a way that might make weak heads dizzy. But a -slight infusion of Mr. Bambridge was felt to give tone and character to -several circles in Middlemarch; and he was a distinguished figure in -the bar and billiard-room at the Green Dragon. He knew some anecdotes -about the heroes of the turf, and various clever tricks of Marquesses -and Viscounts which seemed to prove that blood asserted its -pre-eminence even among black-legs; but the minute retentiveness of his -memory was chiefly shown about the horses he had himself bought and -sold; the number of miles they would trot you in no time without -turning a hair being, after the lapse of years, still a subject of -passionate asseveration, in which he would assist the imagination of -his hearers by solemnly swearing that they never saw anything like it. -In short, Mr. Bambridge was a man of pleasure and a gay companion. - -Fred was subtle, and did not tell his friends that he was going to -Houndsley bent on selling his horse: he wished to get indirectly at -their genuine opinion of its value, not being aware that a genuine -opinion was the last thing likely to be extracted from such eminent -critics. It was not Mr. Bambridges weakness to be a gratuitous -flatterer. He had never before been so much struck with the fact that -this unfortunate bay was a roarer to a degree which required the -roundest word for perdition to give you any idea of it. - -You made a bad hand at swapping when you went to anybody but me, -Vincy! Why, you never threw your leg across a finer horse than that -chestnut, and you gave him for this brute. If you set him cantering, he -goes on like twenty sawyers. I never heard but one worse roarer in my -life, and that was a roan: it belonged to Pegwell, the corn-factor; he -used to drive him in his gig seven years ago, and he wanted me to take -him, but I said, Thank you, Peg, I dont deal in wind-instruments. -That was what I said. It went the round of the country, that joke did. -But, what the hell! the horse was a penny trumpet to that roarer of -yours. - -Why, you said just now his was worse than mine, said Fred, more -irritable than usual. - -I said a lie, then, said Mr. Bambridge, emphatically. There wasnt a -penny to choose between em. - -Fred spurred his horse, and they trotted on a little way. When they -slackened again, Mr. Bambridge said - -Not but what the roan was a better trotter than yours. - -Im quite satisfied with his paces, I know, said Fred, who required -all the consciousness of being in gay company to support him; I say -his trot is an uncommonly clean one, eh, Horrock? - -Mr. Horrock looked before him with as complete a neutrality as if he -had been a portrait by a great master. - -Fred gave up the fallacious hope of getting a genuine opinion; but on -reflection he saw that Bambridges depreciation and Horrocks silence -were both virtually encouraging, and indicated that they thought better -of the horse than they chose to say. - -That very evening, indeed, before the fair had set in, Fred thought he -saw a favorable opening for disposing advantageously of his horse, but -an opening which made him congratulate himself on his foresight in -bringing with him his eighty pounds. A young farmer, acquainted with -Mr. Bambridge, came into the Red Lion, and entered into conversation -about parting with a hunter, which he introduced at once as Diamond, -implying that it was a public character. For himself he only wanted a -useful hack, which would draw upon occasion; being about to marry and -to give up hunting. The hunter was in a friends stable at some little -distance; there was still time for gentlemen to see it before dark. The -friends stable had to be reached through a back street where you might -as easily have been poisoned without expense of drugs as in any grim -street of that unsanitary period. Fred was not fortified against -disgust by brandy, as his companions were, but the hope of having at -last seen the horse that would enable him to make money was -exhilarating enough to lead him over the same ground again the first -thing in the morning. He felt sure that if he did not come to a bargain -with the farmer, Bambridge would; for the stress of circumstances, Fred -felt, was sharpening his acuteness and endowing him with all the -constructive power of suspicion. Bambridge had run down Diamond in a -way that he never would have done (the horse being a friends) if he -had not thought of buying it; every one who looked at the animaleven -Horrockwas evidently impressed with its merit. To get all the -advantage of being with men of this sort, you must know how to draw -your inferences, and not be a spoon who takes things literally. The -color of the horse was a dappled gray, and Fred happened to know that -Lord Medlicotes man was on the look-out for just such a horse. After -all his running down, Bambridge let it out in the course of the -evening, when the farmer was absent, that he had seen worse horses go -for eighty pounds. Of course he contradicted himself twenty times over, -but when you know what is likely to be true you can test a mans -admissions. And Fred could not but reckon his own judgment of a horse -as worth something. The farmer had paused over Freds respectable -though broken-winded steed long enough to show that he thought it worth -consideration, and it seemed probable that he would take it, with -five-and-twenty pounds in addition, as the equivalent of Diamond. In -that case Fred, when he had parted with his new horse for at least -eighty pounds, would be fifty-five pounds in pocket by the transaction, -and would have a hundred and thirty-five pounds towards meeting the -bill; so that the deficit temporarily thrown on Mr. Garth would at the -utmost be twenty-five pounds. By the time he was hurrying on his -clothes in the morning, he saw so clearly the importance of not losing -this rare chance, that if Bambridge and Horrock had both dissuaded him, -he would not have been deluded into a direct interpretation of their -purpose: he would have been aware that those deep hands held something -else than a young fellows interest. With regard to horses, distrust -was your only clew. But scepticism, as we know, can never be thoroughly -applied, else life would come to a standstill: something we must -believe in and do, and whatever that something may be called, it is -virtually our own judgment, even when it seems like the most slavish -reliance on another. Fred believed in the excellence of his bargain, -and even before the fair had well set in, had got possession of the -dappled gray, at the price of his old horse and thirty pounds in -additiononly five pounds more than he had expected to give. - -But he felt a little worried and wearied, perhaps with mental debate, -and without waiting for the further gayeties of the horse-fair, he set -out alone on his fourteen miles journey, meaning to take it very -quietly and keep his horse fresh. - - - - -CHAPTER XXIV. - -The offenders sorrow brings but small relief -To him who wears the strong offences cross. -SHAKESPEARE: _Sonnets_. - - -I am sorry to say that only the third day after the propitious events -at Houndsley Fred Vincy had fallen into worse spirits than he had known -in his life before. Not that he had been disappointed as to the -possible market for his horse, but that before the bargain could be -concluded with Lord Medlicotes man, this Diamond, in which hope to the -amount of eighty pounds had been invested, had without the slightest -warning exhibited in the stable a most vicious energy in kicking, had -just missed killing the groom, and had ended in laming himself severely -by catching his leg in a rope that overhung the stable-board. There was -no more redress for this than for the discovery of bad temper after -marriagewhich of course old companions were aware of before the -ceremony. For some reason or other, Fred had none of his usual -elasticity under this stroke of ill-fortune: he was simply aware that -he had only fifty pounds, that there was no chance of his getting any -more at present, and that the bill for a hundred and sixty would be -presented in five days. Even if he had applied to his father on the -plea that Mr. Garth should be saved from loss, Fred felt smartingly -that his father would angrily refuse to rescue Mr. Garth from the -consequence of what he would call encouraging extravagance and deceit. -He was so utterly downcast that he could frame no other project than to -go straight to Mr. Garth and tell him the sad truth, carrying with him -the fifty pounds, and getting that sum at least safely out of his own -hands. His father, being at the warehouse, did not yet know of the -accident: when he did, he would storm about the vicious brute being -brought into his stable; and before meeting that lesser annoyance Fred -wanted to get away with all his courage to face the greater. He took -his fathers nag, for he had made up his mind that when he had told Mr. -Garth, he would ride to Stone Court and confess all to Mary. In fact, -it is probable that but for Marys existence and Freds love for her, -his conscience would have been much less active both in previously -urging the debt on his thought and impelling him not to spare himself -after his usual fashion by deferring an unpleasant task, but to act as -directly and simply as he could. Even much stronger mortals than Fred -Vincy hold half their rectitude in the mind of the being they love -best. The theatre of all my actions is fallen, said an antique -personage when his chief friend was dead; and they are fortunate who -get a theatre where the audience demands their best. Certainly it would -have made a considerable difference to Fred at that time if Mary Garth -had had no decided notions as to what was admirable in character. - -Mr. Garth was not at the office, and Fred rode on to his house, which -was a little way outside the towna homely place with an orchard in -front of it, a rambling, old-fashioned, half-timbered building, which -before the town had spread had been a farm-house, but was now -surrounded with the private gardens of the townsmen. We get the fonder -of our houses if they have a physiognomy of their own, as our friends -have. The Garth family, which was rather a large one, for Mary had four -brothers and one sister, were very fond of their old house, from which -all the best furniture had long been sold. Fred liked it too, knowing -it by heart even to the attic which smelt deliciously of apples and -quinces, and until to-day he had never come to it without pleasant -expectations; but his heart beat uneasily now with the sense that he -should probably have to make his confession before Mrs. Garth, of whom -he was rather more in awe than of her husband. Not that she was -inclined to sarcasm and to impulsive sallies, as Mary was. In her -present matronly age at least, Mrs. Garth never committed herself by -over-hasty speech; having, as she said, borne the yoke in her youth, -and learned self-control. She had that rare sense which discerns what -is unalterable, and submits to it without murmuring. Adoring her -husbands virtues, she had very early made up her mind to his -incapacity of minding his own interests, and had met the consequences -cheerfully. She had been magnanimous enough to renounce all pride in -teapots or childrens frilling, and had never poured any pathetic -confidences into the ears of her feminine neighbors concerning Mr. -Garths want of prudence and the sums he might have had if he had been -like other men. Hence these fair neighbors thought her either proud or -eccentric, and sometimes spoke of her to their husbands as your fine -Mrs. Garth. She was not without her criticism of them in return, being -more accurately instructed than most matrons in Middlemarch, andwhere -is the blameless woman?apt to be a little severe towards her own sex, -which in her opinion was framed to be entirely subordinate. On the -other hand, she was disproportionately indulgent towards the failings -of men, and was often heard to say that these were natural. Also, it -must be admitted that Mrs. Garth was a trifle too emphatic in her -resistance to what she held to be follies: the passage from governess -into housewife had wrought itself a little too strongly into her -consciousness, and she rarely forgot that while her grammar and accent -were above the town standard, she wore a plain cap, cooked the family -dinner, and darned all the stockings. She had sometimes taken pupils in -a peripatetic fashion, making them follow her about in the kitchen with -their book or slate. She thought it good for them to see that she could -make an excellent lather while she corrected their blunders without -looking,that a woman with her sleeves tucked up above her elbows -might know all about the Subjunctive Mood or the Torrid Zonethat, in -short, she might possess education and other good things ending in -tion, and worthy to be pronounced emphatically, without being a -useless doll. When she made remarks to this edifying effect, she had a -firm little frown on her brow, which yet did not hinder her face from -looking benevolent, and her words which came forth like a procession -were uttered in a fervid agreeable contralto. Certainly, the exemplary -Mrs. Garth had her droll aspects, but her character sustained her -oddities, as a very fine wine sustains a flavor of skin. - -Towards Fred Vincy she had a motherly feeling, and had always been -disposed to excuse his errors, though she would probably not have -excused Mary for engaging herself to him, her daughter being included -in that more rigorous judgment which she applied to her own sex. But -this very fact of her exceptional indulgence towards him made it the -harder to Fred that he must now inevitably sink in her opinion. And the -circumstances of his visit turned out to be still more unpleasant than -he had expected; for Caleb Garth had gone out early to look at some -repairs not far off. Mrs. Garth at certain hours was always in the -kitchen, and this morning she was carrying on several occupations at -once theremaking her pies at the well-scoured deal table on one side -of that airy room, observing Sallys movements at the oven and -dough-tub through an open door, and giving lessons to her youngest boy -and girl, who were standing opposite to her at the table with their -books and slates before them. A tub and a clothes-horse at the other -end of the kitchen indicated an intermittent wash of small things also -going on. - -Mrs. Garth, with her sleeves turned above her elbows, deftly handling -her pastryapplying her rolling-pin and giving ornamental pinches, -while she expounded with grammatical fervor what were the right views -about the concord of verbs and pronouns with nouns of multitude or -signifying many, was a sight agreeably amusing. She was of the same -curly-haired, square-faced type as Mary, but handsomer, with more -delicacy of feature, a pale skin, a solid matronly figure, and a -remarkable firmness of glance. In her snowy-frilled cap she reminded -one of that delightful Frenchwoman whom we have all seen marketing, -basket on arm. Looking at the mother, you might hope that the daughter -would become like her, which is a prospective advantage equal to a -dowrythe mother too often standing behind the daughter like a -malignant prophecySuch as I am, she will shortly be. - -Now let us go through that once more, said Mrs. Garth, pinching an -apple-puff which seemed to distract Ben, an energetic young male with a -heavy brow, from due attention to the lesson. Not without regard to -the import of the word as conveying unity or plurality of ideatell me -again what that means, Ben. - -(Mrs. Garth, like more celebrated educators, had her favorite ancient -paths, and in a general wreck of society would have tried to hold her -Lindley Murray above the waves.) - -Ohit meansyou must think what you mean, said Ben, rather peevishly. -I hate grammar. Whats the use of it? - -To teach you to speak and write correctly, so that you can be -understood, said Mrs. Garth, with severe precision. Should you like -to speak as old Job does? - -Yes, said Ben, stoutly; its funnier. He says, Yo goothats just -as good as You go. - -But he says, A ships in the garden, instead of a sheep, said -Letty, with an air of superiority. You might think he meant a ship off -the sea. - -No, you mightnt, if you werent silly, said Ben. How could a ship -off the sea come there? - -These things belong only to pronunciation, which is the least part of -grammar, said Mrs. Garth. That apple-peel is to be eaten by the pigs, -Ben; if you eat it, I must give them your piece of pasty. Job has only -to speak about very plain things. How do you think you would write or -speak about anything more difficult, if you knew no more of grammar -than he does? You would use wrong words, and put words in the wrong -places, and instead of making people understand you, they would turn -away from you as a tiresome person. What would you do then? - -I shouldnt care, I should leave off, said Ben, with a sense that -this was an agreeable issue where grammar was concerned. - -I see you are getting tired and stupid, Ben, said Mrs. Garth, -accustomed to these obstructive arguments from her male offspring. -Having finished her pies, she moved towards the clothes-horse, and -said, Come here and tell me the story I told you on Wednesday, about -Cincinnatus. - -I know! he was a farmer, said Ben. - -Now, Ben, he was a Romanlet _me_ tell, said Letty, using her elbow -contentiously. - -You silly thing, he was a Roman farmer, and he was ploughing. - -Yes, but before thatthat didnt come firstpeople wanted him, said -Letty. - -Well, but you must say what sort of a man he was first, insisted Ben. -He was a wise man, like my father, and that made the people want his -advice. And he was a brave man, and could fight. And so could my -fathercouldnt he, mother? - -Now, Ben, let me tell the story straight on, as mother told it us, -said Letty, frowning. Please, mother, tell Ben not to speak. - -Letty, I am ashamed of you, said her mother, wringing out the caps -from the tub. When your brother began, you ought to have waited to see -if he could not tell the story. How rude you look, pushing and -frowning, as if you wanted to conquer with your elbows! Cincinnatus, I -am sure, would have been sorry to see his daughter behave so. (Mrs. -Garth delivered this awful sentence with much majesty of enunciation, -and Letty felt that between repressed volubility and general disesteem, -that of the Romans inclusive, life was already a painful affair.) Now, -Ben. - -Wellohwellwhy, there was a great deal of fighting, and they were -all blockheads, andI cant tell it just how you told itbut they -wanted a man to be captain and king and everything - -Dictator, now, said Letty, with injured looks, and not without a wish -to make her mother repent. - -Very well, dictator! said Ben, contemptuously. But that isnt a good -word: he didnt tell them to write on slates. - -Come, come, Ben, you are not so ignorant as that, said Mrs. Garth, -carefully serious. Hark, there is a knock at the door! Run, Letty, and -open it. - -The knock was Freds; and when Letty said that her father was not in -yet, but that her mother was in the kitchen, Fred had no alternative. -He could not depart from his usual practice of going to see Mrs. Garth -in the kitchen if she happened to be at work there. He put his arm -round Lettys neck silently, and led her into the kitchen without his -usual jokes and caresses. - -Mrs. Garth was surprised to see Fred at this hour, but surprise was not -a feeling that she was given to express, and she only said, quietly -continuing her work - -You, Fred, so early in the day? You look quite pale. Has anything -happened? - -I want to speak to Mr. Garth, said Fred, not yet ready to say -moreand to you also, he added, after a little pause, for he had no -doubt that Mrs. Garth knew everything about the bill, and he must in -the end speak of it before her, if not to her solely. - -Caleb will be in again in a few minutes, said Mrs. Garth, who -imagined some trouble between Fred and his father. He is sure not to -be long, because he has some work at his desk that must be done this -morning. Do you mind staying with me, while I finish my matters here? - -But we neednt go on about Cincinnatus, need we? said Ben, who had -taken Freds whip out of his hand, and was trying its efficiency on the -cat. - -No, go out now. But put that whip down. How very mean of you to whip -poor old Tortoise! Pray take the whip from him, Fred. - -Come, old boy, give it me, said Fred, putting out his hand. - -Will you let me ride on your horse to-day? said Ben, rendering up the -whip, with an air of not being obliged to do it. - -Not to-dayanother time. I am not riding my own horse. - -Shall you see Mary to-day? - -Yes, I think so, said Fred, with an unpleasant twinge. - -Tell her to come home soon, and play at forfeits, and make fun. - -Enough, enough, Ben! run away, said Mrs. Garth, seeing that Fred was -teased. - -Are Letty and Ben your only pupils now, Mrs. Garth? said Fred, when -the children were gone and it was needful to say something that would -pass the time. He was not yet sure whether he should wait for Mr. -Garth, or use any good opportunity in conversation to confess to Mrs. -Garth herself, give her the money and ride away. - -Oneonly one. Fanny Hackbutt comes at half past eleven. I am not -getting a great income now, said Mrs. Garth, smiling. I am at a low -ebb with pupils. But I have saved my little purse for Alfreds premium: -I have ninety-two pounds. He can go to Mr. Hanmers now; he is just at -the right age. - -This did not lead well towards the news that Mr. Garth was on the brink -of losing ninety-two pounds and more. Fred was silent. Young gentlemen -who go to college are rather more costly than that, Mrs. Garth -innocently continued, pulling out the edging on a cap-border. And -Caleb thinks that Alfred will turn out a distinguished engineer: he -wants to give the boy a good chance. There he is! I hear him coming in. -We will go to him in the parlor, shall we? - -When they entered the parlor Caleb had thrown down his hat and was -seated at his desk. - -What! Fred, my boy! he said, in a tone of mild surprise, holding his -pen still undipped; you are here betimes. But missing the usual -expression of cheerful greeting in Freds face, he immediately added, -Is there anything up at home?anything the matter? - -Yes, Mr. Garth, I am come to tell something that I am afraid will give -you a bad opinion of me. I am come to tell you and Mrs. Garth that I -cant keep my word. I cant find the money to meet the bill after all. -I have been unfortunate; I have only got these fifty pounds towards the -hundred and sixty. - -While Fred was speaking, he had taken out the notes and laid them on -the desk before Mr. Garth. He had burst forth at once with the plain -fact, feeling boyishly miserable and without verbal resources. Mrs. -Garth was mutely astonished, and looked at her husband for an -explanation. Caleb blushed, and after a little pause said - -Oh, I didnt tell you, Susan: I put my name to a bill for Fred; it was -for a hundred and sixty pounds. He made sure he could meet it himself. - -There was an evident change in Mrs. Garths face, but it was like a -change below the surface of water which remains smooth. She fixed her -eyes on Fred, saying - -I suppose you have asked your father for the rest of the money and he -has refused you. - -No, said Fred, biting his lip, and speaking with more difficulty; -but I know it will be of no use to ask him; and unless it were of use, -I should not like to mention Mr. Garths name in the matter. - -It has come at an unfortunate time, said Caleb, in his hesitating -way, looking down at the notes and nervously fingering the paper, -Christmas upon usIm rather hard up just now. You see, I have to cut -out everything like a tailor with short measure. What can we do, Susan? -I shall want every farthing we have in the bank. Its a hundred and ten -pounds, the deuce take it! - -I must give you the ninety-two pounds that I have put by for Alfreds -premium, said Mrs. Garth, gravely and decisively, though a nice ear -might have discerned a slight tremor in some of the words. And I have -no doubt that Mary has twenty pounds saved from her salary by this -time. She will advance it. - -Mrs. Garth had not again looked at Fred, and was not in the least -calculating what words she should use to cut him the most effectively. -Like the eccentric woman she was, she was at present absorbed in -considering what was to be done, and did not fancy that the end could -be better achieved by bitter remarks or explosions. But she had made -Fred feel for the first time something like the tooth of remorse. -Curiously enough, his pain in the affair beforehand had consisted -almost entirely in the sense that he must seem dishonorable, and sink -in the opinion of the Garths: he had not occupied himself with the -inconvenience and possible injury that his breach might occasion them, -for this exercise of the imagination on other peoples needs is not -common with hopeful young gentlemen. Indeed we are most of us brought -up in the notion that the highest motive for not doing a wrong is -something irrespective of the beings who would suffer the wrong. But at -this moment he suddenly saw himself as a pitiful rascal who was robbing -two women of their savings. - -I shall certainly pay it all, Mrs. Garthultimately, he stammered -out. - -Yes, ultimately, said Mrs. Garth, who having a special dislike to -fine words on ugly occasions, could not now repress an epigram. But -boys cannot well be apprenticed ultimately: they should be apprenticed -at fifteen. She had never been so little inclined to make excuses for -Fred. - -I was the most in the wrong, Susan, said Caleb. Fred made sure of -finding the money. But Id no business to be fingering bills. I suppose -you have looked all round and tried all honest means? he added, fixing -his merciful gray eyes on Fred. Caleb was too delicate to specify Mr. -Featherstone. - -Yes, I have tried everythingI really have. I should have had a -hundred and thirty pounds ready but for a misfortune with a horse which -I was about to sell. My uncle had given me eighty pounds, and I paid -away thirty with my old horse in order to get another which I was going -to sell for eighty or moreI meant to go without a horsebut now it has -turned out vicious and lamed itself. I wish I and the horses too had -been at the devil, before I had brought this on you. Theres no one -else I care so much for: you and Mrs. Garth have always been so kind to -me. However, its no use saying that. You will always think me a rascal -now. - -Fred turned round and hurried out of the room, conscious that he was -getting rather womanish, and feeling confusedly that his being sorry -was not of much use to the Garths. They could see him mount, and -quickly pass through the gate. - -I am disappointed in Fred Vincy, said Mrs. Garth. I would not have -believed beforehand that he would have drawn you into his debts. I knew -he was extravagant, but I did not think that he would be so mean as to -hang his risks on his oldest friend, who could the least afford to -lose. - -I was a fool, Susan. - -That you were, said the wife, nodding and smiling. But I should not -have gone to publish it in the market-place. Why should you keep such -things from me? It is just so with your buttons: you let them burst off -without telling me, and go out with your wristband hanging. If I had -only known I might have been ready with some better plan. - -You are sadly cut up, I know, Susan, said Caleb, looking feelingly at -her. I cant abide your losing the money youve scraped together for -Alfred. - -It is very well that I _had_ scraped it together; and it is you who -will have to suffer, for you must teach the boy yourself. You must give -up your bad habits. Some men take to drinking, and you have taken to -working without pay. You must indulge yourself a little less in that. -And you must ride over to Mary, and ask the child what money she has. - -Caleb had pushed his chair back, and was leaning forward, shaking his -head slowly, and fitting his finger-tips together with much nicety. - -Poor Mary! he said. Susan, he went on in a lowered tone, Im -afraid she may be fond of Fred. - -Oh no! She always laughs at him; and he is not likely to think of her -in any other than a brotherly way. - -Caleb made no rejoinder, but presently lowered his spectacles, drew up -his chair to the desk, and said, Deuce take the billI wish it was at -Hanover! These things are a sad interruption to business! - -The first part of this speech comprised his whole store of maledictory -expression, and was uttered with a slight snarl easy to imagine. But it -would be difficult to convey to those who never heard him utter the -word business, the peculiar tone of fervid veneration, of religious -regard, in which he wrapped it, as a consecrated symbol is wrapped in -its gold-fringed linen. - -Caleb Garth often shook his head in meditation on the value, the -indispensable might of that myriad-headed, myriad-handed labor by which -the social body is fed, clothed, and housed. It had laid hold of his -imagination in boyhood. The echoes of the great hammer where roof or -keel were a-making, the signal-shouts of the workmen, the roar of the -furnace, the thunder and plash of the engine, were a sublime music to -him; the felling and lading of timber, and the huge trunk vibrating -star-like in the distance along the highway, the crane at work on the -wharf, the piled-up produce in warehouses, the precision and variety of -muscular effort wherever exact work had to be turned out,all these -sights of his youth had acted on him as poetry without the aid of the -poets, had made a philosophy for him without the aid of philosophers, a -religion without the aid of theology. His early ambition had been to -have as effective a share as possible in this sublime labor, which was -peculiarly dignified by him with the name of business; and though he -had only been a short time under a surveyor, and had been chiefly his -own teacher, he knew more of land, building, and mining than most of -the special men in the county. - -His classification of human employments was rather crude, and, like the -categories of more celebrated men, would not be acceptable in these -advanced times. He divided them into business, politics, preaching, -learning, and amusement. He had nothing to say against the last four; -but he regarded them as a reverential pagan regarded other gods than -his own. In the same way, he thought very well of all ranks, but he -would not himself have liked to be of any rank in which he had not such -close contact with business as to get often honorably decorated with -marks of dust and mortar, the damp of the engine, or the sweet soil of -the woods and fields. Though he had never regarded himself as other -than an orthodox Christian, and would argue on prevenient grace if the -subject were proposed to him, I think his virtual divinities were good -practical schemes, accurate work, and the faithful completion of -undertakings: his prince of darkness was a slack workman. But there was -no spirit of denial in Caleb, and the world seemed so wondrous to him -that he was ready to accept any number of systems, like any number of -firmaments, if they did not obviously interfere with the best -land-drainage, solid building, correct measuring, and judicious boring -(for coal). In fact, he had a reverential soul with a strong practical -intelligence. But he could not manage finance: he knew values well, but -he had no keenness of imagination for monetary results in the shape of -profit and loss: and having ascertained this to his cost, he determined -to give up all forms of his beloved business which required that -talent. He gave himself up entirely to the many kinds of work which he -could do without handling capital, and was one of those precious men -within his own district whom everybody would choose to work for them, -because he did his work well, charged very little, and often declined -to charge at all. It is no wonder, then, that the Garths were poor, and -lived in a small way. However, they did not mind it. - - - - -CHAPTER XXV. - -Love seeketh not itself to please, - Nor for itself hath any care -But for another gives its ease - And builds a heaven in hells despair. -. . . . . . . -Love seeketh only self to please, - To bind another to its delight, -Joys in anothers loss of ease, - And builds a hell in heavens despite. -W. BLAKE: _Songs of Experience_. - - -Fred Vincy wanted to arrive at Stone Court when Mary could not expect -him, and when his uncle was not downstairs: in that case she might be -sitting alone in the wainscoted parlor. He left his horse in the yard -to avoid making a noise on the gravel in front, and entered the parlor -without other notice than the noise of the door-handle. Mary was in her -usual corner, laughing over Mrs. Piozzis recollections of Johnson, and -looked up with the fun still in her face. It gradually faded as she saw -Fred approach her without speaking, and stand before her with his elbow -on the mantel-piece, looking ill. She too was silent, only raising her -eyes to him inquiringly. - -Mary, he began, I am a good-for-nothing blackguard. - -I should think one of those epithets would do at a time, said Mary, -trying to smile, but feeling alarmed. - -I know you will never think well of me any more. You will think me a -liar. You will think me dishonest. You will think I didnt care for -you, or your father and mother. You always do make the worst of me, I -know. - -I cannot deny that I shall think all that of you, Fred, if you give me -good reasons. But please to tell me at once what you have done. I would -rather know the painful truth than imagine it. - -I owed moneya hundred and sixty pounds. I asked your father to put -his name to a bill. I thought it would not signify to him. I made sure -of paying the money myself, and I have tried as hard as I could. And -now, I have been so unluckya horse has turned out badlyI can only pay -fifty pounds. And I cant ask my father for the money: he would not -give me a farthing. And my uncle gave me a hundred a little while ago. -So what can I do? And now your father has no ready money to spare, and -your mother will have to pay away her ninety-two pounds that she has -saved, and she says your savings must go too. You see what a - -Oh, poor mother, poor father! said Mary, her eyes filling with tears, -and a little sob rising which she tried to repress. She looked straight -before her and took no notice of Fred, all the consequences at home -becoming present to her. He too remained silent for some moments, -feeling more miserable than ever. I wouldnt have hurt you for the -world, Mary, he said at last. You can never forgive me. - -What does it matter whether I forgive you? said Mary, passionately. -Would that make it any better for my mother to lose the money she has -been earning by lessons for four years, that she might send Alfred to -Mr. Hanmers? Should you think all that pleasant enough if I forgave -you? - -Say what you like, Mary. I deserve it all. - -I dont want to say anything, said Mary, more quietly, and my anger -is of no use. She dried her eyes, threw aside her book, rose and -fetched her sewing. - -Fred followed her with his eyes, hoping that they would meet hers, and -in that way find access for his imploring penitence. But no! Mary could -easily avoid looking upward. - -I do care about your mothers money going, he said, when she was -seated again and sewing quickly. I wanted to ask you, Marydont you -think that Mr. Featherstoneif you were to tell himtell him, I mean, -about apprenticing Alfredwould advance the money? - -My family is not fond of begging, Fred. We would rather work for our -money. Besides, you say that Mr. Featherstone has lately given you a -hundred pounds. He rarely makes presents; he has never made presents to -us. I am sure my father will not ask him for anything; and even if I -chose to beg of him, it would be of no use. - -I am so miserable, Maryif you knew how miserable I am, you would be -sorry for me. - -There are other things to be more sorry for than that. But selfish -people always think their own discomfort of more importance than -anything else in the world. I see enough of that every day. - -It is hardly fair to call me selfish. If you knew what things other -young men do, you would think me a good way off the worst. - -I know that people who spend a great deal of money on themselves -without knowing how they shall pay, must be selfish. They are always -thinking of what they can get for themselves, and not of what other -people may lose. - -Any man may be unfortunate, Mary, and find himself unable to pay when -he meant it. There is not a better man in the world than your father, -and yet he got into trouble. - -How dare you make any comparison between my father and you, Fred? -said Mary, in a deep tone of indignation. He never got into trouble by -thinking of his own idle pleasures, but because he was always thinking -of the work he was doing for other people. And he has fared hard, and -worked hard to make good everybodys loss. - -And you think that I shall never try to make good anything, Mary. It -is not generous to believe the worst of a man. When you have got any -power over him, I think you might try and use it to make him better; -but that is what you never do. However, Im going, Fred ended, -languidly. I shall never speak to you about anything again. Im very -sorry for all the trouble Ive causedthats all. - -Mary had dropped her work out of her hand and looked up. There is often -something maternal even in a girlish love, and Marys hard experience -had wrought her nature to an impressibility very different from that -hard slight thing which we call girlishness. At Freds last words she -felt an instantaneous pang, something like what a mother feels at the -imagined sobs or cries of her naughty truant child, which may lose -itself and get harm. And when, looking up, her eyes met his dull -despairing glance, her pity for him surmounted her anger and all her -other anxieties. - -Oh, Fred, how ill you look! Sit down a moment. Dont go yet. Let me -tell uncle that you are here. He has been wondering that he has not -seen you for a whole week. Mary spoke hurriedly, saying the words that -came first without knowing very well what they were, but saying them in -a half-soothing half-beseeching tone, and rising as if to go away to -Mr. Featherstone. Of course Fred felt as if the clouds had parted and a -gleam had come: he moved and stood in her way. - -Say one word, Mary, and I will do anything. Say you will not think the -worst of mewill not give me up altogether. - -As if it were any pleasure to me to think ill of you, said Mary, in a -mournful tone. As if it were not very painful to me to see you an idle -frivolous creature. How can you bear to be so contemptible, when others -are working and striving, and there are so many things to be donehow -can you bear to be fit for nothing in the world that is useful? And -with so much good in your disposition, Fred,you might be worth a great -deal. - -I will try to be anything you like, Mary, if you will say that you -love me. - -I should be ashamed to say that I loved a man who must always be -hanging on others, and reckoning on what they would do for him. What -will you be when you are forty? Like Mr. Bowyer, I supposejust as -idle, living in Mrs. Becks front parlorfat and shabby, hoping -somebody will invite you to dinnerspending your morning in learning a -comic songoh no! learning a tune on the flute. - -Marys lips had begun to curl with a smile as soon as she had asked -that question about Freds future (young souls are mobile), and before -she ended, her face had its full illumination of fun. To him it was -like the cessation of an ache that Mary could laugh at him, and with a -passive sort of smile he tried to reach her hand; but she slipped away -quickly towards the door and said, I shall tell uncle. You _must_ see -him for a moment or two. - -Fred secretly felt that his future was guaranteed against the -fulfilment of Marys sarcastic prophecies, apart from that anything -which he was ready to do if she would define it. He never dared in -Marys presence to approach the subject of his expectations from Mr. -Featherstone, and she always ignored them, as if everything depended on -himself. But if ever he actually came into the property, she must -recognize the change in his position. All this passed through his mind -somewhat languidly, before he went up to see his uncle. He stayed but a -little while, excusing himself on the ground that he had a cold; and -Mary did not reappear before he left the house. But as he rode home, he -began to be more conscious of being ill, than of being melancholy. - -When Caleb Garth arrived at Stone Court soon after dusk, Mary was not -surprised, although he seldom had leisure for paying her a visit, and -was not at all fond of having to talk with Mr. Featherstone. The old -man, on the other hand, felt himself ill at ease with a brother-in-law -whom he could not annoy, who did not mind about being considered poor, -had nothing to ask of him, and understood all kinds of farming and -mining business better than he did. But Mary had felt sure that her -parents would want to see her, and if her father had not come, she -would have obtained leave to go home for an hour or two the next day. -After discussing prices during tea with Mr. Featherstone, Caleb rose to -bid him good-by, and said, I want to speak to you, Mary. - -She took a candle into another large parlor, where there was no fire, -and setting down the feeble light on the dark mahogany table, turned -round to her father, and putting her arms round his neck kissed him -with childish kisses which he delighted in,the expression of his large -brows softening as the expression of a great beautiful dog softens when -it is caressed. Mary was his favorite child, and whatever Susan might -say, and right as she was on all other subjects, Caleb thought it -natural that Fred or any one else should think Mary more lovable than -other girls. - -Ive got something to tell you, my dear, said Caleb in his hesitating -way. No very good news; but then it might be worse. - -About money, father? I think I know what it is. - -Ay? how can that be? You see, Ive been a bit of a fool again, and put -my name to a bill, and now it comes to paying; and your mother has got -to part with her savings, thats the worst of it, and even they wont -quite make things even. We wanted a hundred and ten pounds: your mother -has ninety-two, and I have none to spare in the bank; and she thinks -that you have some savings. - -Oh yes; I have more than four-and-twenty pounds. I thought you would -come, father, so I put it in my bag. See! beautiful white notes and -gold. - -Mary took out the folded money from her reticule and put it into her -fathers hand. - -Well, but howwe only want eighteenhere, put the rest back, -child,but how did you know about it? said Caleb, who, in his -unconquerable indifference to money, was beginning to be chiefly -concerned about the relation the affair might have to Marys -affections. - -Fred told me this morning. - -Ah! Did he come on purpose? - -Yes, I think so. He was a good deal distressed. - -Im afraid Fred is not to be trusted, Mary, said the father, with -hesitating tenderness. He means better than he acts, perhaps. But I -should think it a pity for any bodys happiness to be wrapped up in -him, and so would your mother. - -And so should I, father, said Mary, not looking up, but putting the -back of her fathers hand against her cheek. - -I dont want to pry, my dear. But I was afraid there might be -something between you and Fred, and I wanted to caution you. You see, -Maryhere Calebs voice became more tender; he had been pushing his -hat about on the table and looking at it, but finally he turned his -eyes on his daughtera woman, let her be as good as she may, has got -to put up with the life her husband makes for her. Your mother has had -to put up with a good deal because of me. - -Mary turned the back of her fathers hand to her lips and smiled at -him. - -Well, well, nobodys perfect, buthere Mr. Garth shook his head to -help out the inadequacy of wordswhat I am thinking of iswhat it must -be for a wife when shes never sure of her husband, when he hasnt got -a principle in him to make him more afraid of doing the wrong thing by -others than of getting his own toes pinched. Thats the long and the -short of it, Mary. Young folks may get fond of each other before they -know what life is, and they may think it all holiday if they can only -get together; but it soon turns into working day, my dear. However, you -have more sense than most, and you havent been kept in cotton-wool: -there may be no occasion for me to say this, but a father trembles for -his daughter, and you are all by yourself here. - -Dont fear for me, father, said Mary, gravely meeting her fathers -eyes; Fred has always been very good to me; he is kind-hearted and -affectionate, and not false, I think, with all his self-indulgence. But -I will never engage myself to one who has no manly independence, and -who goes on loitering away his time on the chance that others will -provide for him. You and my mother have taught me too much pride for -that. - -Thats rightthats right. Then I am easy, said Mr. Garth, taking up -his hat. But its hard to run away with your earnings, eh child. - -Father! said Mary, in her deepest tone of remonstrance. Take -pocketfuls of love besides to them all at home, was her last word -before he closed the outer door on himself. - -I suppose your father wanted your earnings, said old Mr. -Featherstone, with his usual power of unpleasant surmise, when Mary -returned to him. He makes but a tight fit, I reckon. Youre of age -now; you ought to be saving for yourself. - -I consider my father and mother the best part of myself, sir, said -Mary, coldly. - -Mr. Featherstone grunted: he could not deny that an ordinary sort of -girl like her might be expected to be useful, so he thought of another -rejoinder, disagreeable enough to be always apropos. If Fred Vincy -comes to-morrow, now, dont you keep him chattering: let him come up to -me. - - - - -CHAPTER XXVI. - -He beats me and I rail at him: O worthy satisfaction! would it were -otherwisethat I could beat him while he railed at me._Troilus and -Cressida_. - - -But Fred did not go to Stone Court the next day, for reasons that were -quite peremptory. From those visits to unsanitary Houndsley streets in -search of Diamond, he had brought back not only a bad bargain in -horse-flesh, but the further misfortune of some ailment which for a day -or two had deemed mere depression and headache, but which got so much -worse when he returned from his visit to Stone Court that, going into -the dining-room, he threw himself on the sofa, and in answer to his -mothers anxious question, said, I feel very ill: I think you must -send for Wrench. - -Wrench came, but did not apprehend anything serious, spoke of a slight -derangement, and did not speak of coming again on the morrow. He had a -due value for the Vincys house, but the wariest men are apt to be -dulled by routine, and on worried mornings will sometimes go through -their business with the zest of the daily bell-ringer. Mr. Wrench was a -small, neat, bilious man, with a well-dressed wig: he had a laborious -practice, an irascible temper, a lymphatic wife and seven children; and -he was already rather late before setting out on a four-miles drive to -meet Dr. Minchin on the other side of Tipton, the decease of Hicks, a -rural practitioner, having increased Middlemarch practice in that -direction. Great statesmen err, and why not small medical men? Mr. -Wrench did not neglect sending the usual white parcels, which this time -had black and drastic contents. Their effect was not alleviating to -poor Fred, who, however, unwilling as he said to believe that he was -in for an illness, rose at his usual easy hour the next morning and -went down-stairs meaning to breakfast, but succeeded in nothing but in -sitting and shivering by the fire. Mr. Wrench was again sent for, but -was gone on his rounds, and Mrs. Vincy seeing her darlings changed -looks and general misery, began to cry and said she would send for Dr. -Sprague. - -Oh, nonsense, mother! Its nothing, said Fred, putting out his hot -dry hand to her, I shall soon be all right. I must have taken cold in -that nasty damp ride. - -Mamma! said Rosamond, who was seated near the window (the dining-room -windows looked on that highly respectable street called Lowick Gate), -there is Mr. Lydgate, stopping to speak to some one. If I were you I -would call him in. He has cured Ellen Bulstrode. They say he cures -every one. - -Mrs. Vincy sprang to the window and opened it in an instant, thinking -only of Fred and not of medical etiquette. Lydgate was only two yards -off on the other side of some iron palisading, and turned round at the -sudden sound of the sash, before she called to him. In two minutes he -was in the room, and Rosamond went out, after waiting just long enough -to show a pretty anxiety conflicting with her sense of what was -becoming. - -Lydgate had to hear a narrative in which Mrs. Vincys mind insisted -with remarkable instinct on every point of minor importance, especially -on what Mr. Wrench had said and had not said about coming again. That -there might be an awkward affair with Wrench, Lydgate saw at once; but -the case was serious enough to make him dismiss that consideration: he -was convinced that Fred was in the pink-skinned stage of typhoid fever, -and that he had taken just the wrong medicines. He must go to bed -immediately, must have a regular nurse, and various appliances and -precautions must be used, about which Lydgate was particular. Poor Mrs. -Vincys terror at these indications of danger found vent in such words -as came most easily. She thought it very ill usage on the part of Mr. -Wrench, who had attended their house so many years in preference to Mr. -Peacock, though Mr. Peacock was equally a friend. Why Mr. Wrench should -neglect her children more than others, she could not for the life of -her understand. He had not neglected Mrs. Larchers when they had the -measles, nor indeed would Mrs. Vincy have wished that he should. And if -anything should happen - -Here poor Mrs. Vincys spirit quite broke down, and her Niobe throat -and good-humored face were sadly convulsed. This was in the hall out of -Freds hearing, but Rosamond had opened the drawing-room door, and now -came forward anxiously. Lydgate apologized for Mr. Wrench, said that -the symptoms yesterday might have been disguising, and that this form -of fever was very equivocal in its beginnings: he would go immediately -to the druggists and have a prescription made up in order to lose no -time, but he would write to Mr. Wrench and tell him what had been done. - -But you must come againyou must go on attending Fred. I cant have my -boy left to anybody who may come or not. I bear nobody ill-will, thank -God, and Mr. Wrench saved me in the pleurisy, but hed better have let -me dieifif - -I will meet Mr. Wrench here, then, shall I? said Lydgate, really -believing that Wrench was not well prepared to deal wisely with a case -of this kind. - -Pray make that arrangement, Mr. Lydgate, said Rosamond, coming to her -mothers aid, and supporting her arm to lead her away. - -When Mr. Vincy came home he was very angry with Wrench, and did not -care if he never came into his house again. Lydgate should go on now, -whether Wrench liked it or not. It was no joke to have fever in the -house. Everybody must be sent to now, not to come to dinner on -Thursday. And Pritchard neednt get up any wine: brandy was the best -thing against infection. I shall drink brandy, added Mr. Vincy, -emphaticallyas much as to say, this was not an occasion for firing -with blank-cartridges. Hes an uncommonly unfortunate lad, is Fred. -Hed need have some luck by and by to make up for all thiselse I dont -know whod have an eldest son. - -Dont say so, Vincy, said the mother, with a quivering lip, if you -dont want him to be taken from me. - -It will worret you to death, Lucy; _that_ I can see, said Mr. Vincy, -more mildly. However, Wrench shall know what I think of the matter. -(What Mr. Vincy thought confusedly was, that the fever might somehow -have been hindered if Wrench had shown the proper solicitude about -histhe Mayorsfamily.) Im the last man to give in to the cry about -new doctors, or new parsons eitherwhether theyre Bulstrodes men or -not. But Wrench shall know what I think, take it as he will. - -Wrench did not take it at all well. Lydgate was as polite as he could -be in his offhand way, but politeness in a man who has placed you at a -disadvantage is only an additional exasperation, especially if he -happens to have been an object of dislike beforehand. Country -practitioners used to be an irritable species, susceptible on the point -of honor; and Mr. Wrench was one of the most irritable among them. He -did not refuse to meet Lydgate in the evening, but his temper was -somewhat tried on the occasion. He had to hear Mrs. Vincy say - -Oh, Mr. Wrench, what have I ever done that you should use me so? To -go away, and never to come again! And my boy might have been stretched -a corpse! - -Mr. Vincy, who had been keeping up a sharp fire on the enemy Infection, -and was a good deal heated in consequence, started up when he heard -Wrench come in, and went into the hall to let him know what he thought. - -Ill tell you what, Wrench, this is beyond a joke, said the Mayor, -who of late had had to rebuke offenders with an official air, and now -broadened himself by putting his thumbs in his armholes. To let fever -get unawares into a house like this. There are some things that ought -to be actionable, and are not so thats my opinion. - -But irrational reproaches were easier to bear than the sense of being -instructed, or rather the sense that a younger man, like Lydgate, -inwardly considered him in need of instruction, for in point of fact, -Mr. Wrench afterwards said, Lydgate paraded flighty, foreign notions, -which would not wear. He swallowed his ire for the moment, but he -afterwards wrote to decline further attendance in the case. The house -might be a good one, but Mr. Wrench was not going to truckle to anybody -on a professional matter. He reflected, with much probability on his -side, that Lydgate would by-and-by be caught tripping too, and that his -ungentlemanly attempts to discredit the sale of drugs by his -professional brethren, would by-and-by recoil on himself. He threw out -biting remarks on Lydgates tricks, worthy only of a quack, to get -himself a factitious reputation with credulous people. That cant about -cures was never got up by sound practitioners. - -This was a point on which Lydgate smarted as much as Wrench could -desire. To be puffed by ignorance was not only humiliating, but -perilous, and not more enviable than the reputation of the -weather-prophet. He was impatient of the foolish expectations amidst -which all work must be carried on, and likely enough to damage himself -as much as Mr. Wrench could wish, by an unprofessional openness. - -However, Lydgate was installed as medical attendant on the Vincys, and -the event was a subject of general conversation in Middlemarch. Some -said, that the Vincys had behaved scandalously, that Mr. Vincy had -threatened Wrench, and that Mrs. Vincy had accused him of poisoning her -son. Others were of opinion that Mr. Lydgates passing by was -providential, that he was wonderfully clever in fevers, and that -Bulstrode was in the right to bring him forward. Many people believed -that Lydgates coming to the town at all was really due to Bulstrode; -and Mrs. Taft, who was always counting stitches and gathered her -information in misleading fragments caught between the rows of her -knitting, had got it into her head that Mr. Lydgate was a natural son -of Bulstrodes, a fact which seemed to justify her suspicions of -evangelical laymen. - -She one day communicated this piece of knowledge to Mrs. Farebrother, -who did not fail to tell her son of it, observing - -I should not be surprised at anything in Bulstrode, but I should be -sorry to think it of Mr. Lydgate. - -Why, mother, said Mr. Farebrother, after an explosive laugh, you -know very well that Lydgate is of a good family in the North. He never -heard of Bulstrode before he came here. - -That is satisfactory so far as Mr. Lydgate is concerned, Camden, said -the old lady, with an air of precision.But as to Bulstrodethe report -may be true of some other son. - - - - -CHAPTER XXVII. - -Let the high Muse chant loves Olympian: -We are but mortals, and must sing of man. - - -An eminent philosopher among my friends, who can dignify even your ugly -furniture by lifting it into the serene light of science, has shown me -this pregnant little fact. Your pier-glass or extensive surface of -polished steel made to be rubbed by a housemaid, will be minutely and -multitudinously scratched in all directions; but place now against it a -lighted candle as a centre of illumination, and lo! the scratches will -seem to arrange themselves in a fine series of concentric circles round -that little sun. It is demonstrable that the scratches are going -everywhere impartially and it is only your candle which produces the -flattering illusion of a concentric arrangement, its light falling with -an exclusive optical selection. These things are a parable. The -scratches are events, and the candle is the egoism of any person now -absentof Miss Vincy, for example. Rosamond had a Providence of her own -who had kindly made her more charming than other girls, and who seemed -to have arranged Freds illness and Mr. Wrenchs mistake in order to -bring her and Lydgate within effective proximity. It would have been to -contravene these arrangements if Rosamond had consented to go away to -Stone Court or elsewhere, as her parents wished her to do, especially -since Mr. Lydgate thought the precaution needless. Therefore, while -Miss Morgan and the children were sent away to a farmhouse the morning -after Freds illness had declared itself, Rosamond refused to leave -papa and mamma. - -Poor mamma indeed was an object to touch any creature born of woman; -and Mr. Vincy, who doted on his wife, was more alarmed on her account -than on Freds. But for his insistence she would have taken no rest: -her brightness was all bedimmed; unconscious of her costume which had -always been so fresh and gay, she was like a sick bird with languid eye -and plumage ruffled, her senses dulled to the sights and sounds that -used most to interest her. Freds delirium, in which he seemed to be -wandering out of her reach, tore her heart. After her first outburst -against Mr. Wrench she went about very quietly: her one low cry was to -Lydgate. She would follow him out of the room and put her hand on his -arm moaning out, Save my boy. Once she pleaded, He has always been -good to me, Mr. Lydgate: he never had a hard word for his mother,as -if poor Freds suffering were an accusation against him. All the -deepest fibres of the mothers memory were stirred, and the young man -whose voice took a gentler tone when he spoke to her, was one with the -babe whom she had loved, with a love new to her, before he was born. - -I have good hope, Mrs. Vincy, Lydgate would say. Come down with me -and let us talk about the food. In that way he led her to the parlor -where Rosamond was, and made a change for her, surprising her into -taking some tea or broth which had been prepared for her. There was a -constant understanding between him and Rosamond on these matters. He -almost always saw her before going to the sickroom, and she appealed to -him as to what she could do for mamma. Her presence of mind and -adroitness in carrying out his hints were admirable, and it is not -wonderful that the idea of seeing Rosamond began to mingle itself with -his interest in the case. Especially when the critical stage was -passed, and he began to feel confident of Freds recovery. In the more -doubtful time, he had advised calling in Dr. Sprague (who, if he could, -would rather have remained neutral on Wrenchs account); but after two -consultations, the conduct of the case was left to Lydgate, and there -was every reason to make him assiduous. Morning and evening he was at -Mr. Vincys, and gradually the visits became cheerful as Fred became -simply feeble, and lay not only in need of the utmost petting but -conscious of it, so that Mrs. Vincy felt as if, after all, the illness -had made a festival for her tenderness. - -Both father and mother held it an added reason for good spirits, when -old Mr. Featherstone sent messages by Lydgate, saying that Fred must -make haste and get well, as he, Peter Featherstone, could not do -without him, and missed his visits sadly. The old man himself was -getting bedridden. Mrs. Vincy told these messages to Fred when he could -listen, and he turned towards her his delicate, pinched face, from -which all the thick blond hair had been cut away, and in which the eyes -seemed to have got larger, yearning for some word about Marywondering -what she felt about his illness. No word passed his lips; but to hear -with eyes belongs to loves rare wit, and the mother in the fulness of -her heart not only divined Freds longing, but felt ready for any -sacrifice in order to satisfy him. - -If I can only see my boy strong again, she said, in her loving folly; -and who knows?perhaps master of Stone Court! and he can marry anybody -he likes then. - -Not if they wont have me, mother, said Fred. The illness had made -him childish, and tears came as he spoke. - -Oh, take a bit of jelly, my dear, said Mrs. Vincy, secretly -incredulous of any such refusal. - -She never left Freds side when her husband was not in the house, and -thus Rosamond was in the unusual position of being much alone. Lydgate, -naturally, never thought of staying long with her, yet it seemed that -the brief impersonal conversations they had together were creating that -peculiar intimacy which consists in shyness. They were obliged to look -at each other in speaking, and somehow the looking could not be carried -through as the matter of course which it really was. Lydgate began to -feel this sort of consciousness unpleasant and one day looked down, or -anywhere, like an ill-worked puppet. But this turned out badly: the -next day, Rosamond looked down, and the consequence was that when their -eyes met again, both were more conscious than before. There was no help -for this in science, and as Lydgate did not want to flirt, there seemed -to be no help for it in folly. It was therefore a relief when neighbors -no longer considered the house in quarantine, and when the chances of -seeing Rosamond alone were very much reduced. - -But that intimacy of mutual embarrassment, in which each feels that the -other is feeling something, having once existed, its effect is not to -be done away with. Talk about the weather and other well-bred topics is -apt to seem a hollow device, and behavior can hardly become easy unless -it frankly recognizes a mutual fascinationwhich of course need not -mean anything deep or serious. This was the way in which Rosamond and -Lydgate slid gracefully into ease, and made their intercourse lively -again. Visitors came and went as usual, there was once more music in -the drawing-room, and all the extra hospitality of Mr. Vincys -mayoralty returned. Lydgate, whenever he could, took his seat by -Rosamonds side, and lingered to hear her music, calling himself her -captivemeaning, all the while, not to be her captive. The -preposterousness of the notion that he could at once set up a -satisfactory establishment as a married man was a sufficient guarantee -against danger. This play at being a little in love was agreeable, and -did not interfere with graver pursuits. Flirtation, after all, was not -necessarily a singeing process. Rosamond, for her part, had never -enjoyed the days so much in her life before: she was sure of being -admired by some one worth captivating, and she did not distinguish -flirtation from love, either in herself or in another. She seemed to be -sailing with a fair wind just whither she would go, and her thoughts -were much occupied with a handsome house in Lowick Gate which she hoped -would by-and-by be vacant. She was quite determined, when she was -married, to rid herself adroitly of all the visitors who were not -agreeable to her at her fathers; and she imagined the drawing-room in -her favorite house with various styles of furniture. - -Certainly her thoughts were much occupied with Lydgate himself; he -seemed to her almost perfect: if he had known his notes so that his -enchantment under her music had been less like an emotional elephants, -and if he had been able to discriminate better the refinements of her -taste in dress, she could hardly have mentioned a deficiency in him. -How different he was from young Plymdale or Mr. Caius Larcher! Those -young men had not a notion of French, and could speak on no subject -with striking knowledge, except perhaps the dyeing and carrying trades, -which of course they were ashamed to mention; they were Middlemarch -gentry, elated with their silver-headed whips and satin stocks, but -embarrassed in their manners, and timidly jocose: even Fred was above -them, having at least the accent and manner of a university man. -Whereas Lydgate was always listened to, bore himself with the careless -politeness of conscious superiority, and seemed to have the right -clothes on by a certain natural affinity, without ever having to think -about them. Rosamond was proud when he entered the room, and when he -approached her with a distinguishing smile, she had a delicious sense -that she was the object of enviable homage. If Lydgate had been aware -of all the pride he excited in that delicate bosom, he might have been -just as well pleased as any other man, even the most densely ignorant -of humoral pathology or fibrous tissue: he held it one of the prettiest -attitudes of the feminine mind to adore a mans pre-eminence without -too precise a knowledge of what it consisted in. But Rosamond was not -one of those helpless girls who betray themselves unawares, and whose -behavior is awkwardly driven by their impulses, instead of being -steered by wary grace and propriety. Do you imagine that her rapid -forecast and rumination concerning house-furniture and society were -ever discernible in her conversation, even with her mamma? On the -contrary, she would have expressed the prettiest surprise and -disapprobation if she had heard that another young lady had been -detected in that immodest prematurenessindeed, would probably have -disbelieved in its possibility. For Rosamond never showed any -unbecoming knowledge, and was always that combination of correct -sentiments, music, dancing, drawing, elegant note-writing, private -album for extracted verse, and perfect blond loveliness, which made the -irresistible woman for the doomed man of that date. Think no unfair -evil of her, pray: she had no wicked plots, nothing sordid or -mercenary; in fact, she never thought of money except as something -necessary which other people would always provide. She was not in the -habit of devising falsehoods, and if her statements were no direct clew -to fact, why, they were not intended in that lightthey were among her -elegant accomplishments, intended to please. Nature had inspired many -arts in finishing Mrs. Lemons favorite pupil, who by general consent -(Freds excepted) was a rare compound of beauty, cleverness, and -amiability. - -Lydgate found it more and more agreeable to be with her, and there was -no constraint now, there was a delightful interchange of influence in -their eyes, and what they said had that superfluity of meaning for -them, which is observable with some sense of flatness by a third -person; still they had no interviews or asides from which a third -person need have been excluded. In fact, they flirted; and Lydgate was -secure in the belief that they did nothing else. If a man could not -love and be wise, surely he could flirt and be wise at the same time? -Really, the men in Middlemarch, except Mr. Farebrother, were great -bores, and Lydgate did not care about commercial politics or cards: -what was he to do for relaxation? He was often invited to the -Bulstrodes; but the girls there were hardly out of the schoolroom; and -Mrs. Bulstrodes _naive_ way of conciliating piety and worldliness, the -nothingness of this life and the desirability of cut glass, the -consciousness at once of filthy rags and the best damask, was not a -sufficient relief from the weight of her husbands invariable -seriousness. The Vincys house, with all its faults, was the pleasanter -by contrast; besides, it nourished Rosamondsweet to look at as a -half-opened blush-rose, and adorned with accomplishments for the -refined amusement of man. - -But he made some enemies, other than medical, by his success with Miss -Vincy. One evening he came into the drawing-room rather late, when -several other visitors were there. The card-table had drawn off the -elders, and Mr. Ned Plymdale (one of the good matches in Middlemarch, -though not one of its leading minds) was in _tte--tte_ with -Rosamond. He had brought the last Keepsake, the gorgeous watered-silk -publication which marked modern progress at that time; and he -considered himself very fortunate that he could be the first to look -over it with her, dwelling on the ladies and gentlemen with shiny -copper-plate cheeks and copper-plate smiles, and pointing to comic -verses as capital and sentimental stories as interesting. Rosamond was -gracious, and Mr. Ned was satisfied that he had the very best thing in -art and literature as a medium for paying addressesthe very thing to -please a nice girl. He had also reasons, deep rather than ostensible, -for being satisfied with his own appearance. To superficial observers -his chin had too vanishing an aspect, looking as if it were being -gradually reabsorbed. And it did indeed cause him some difficulty about -the fit of his satin stocks, for which chins were at that time useful. - -I think the Honorable Mrs. S. is something like you, said Mr. Ned. He -kept the book open at the bewitching portrait, and looked at it rather -languishingly. - -Her back is very large; she seems to have sat for that, said -Rosamond, not meaning any satire, but thinking how red young Plymdales -hands were, and wondering why Lydgate did not come. She went on with -her tatting all the while. - -I did not say she was as beautiful as you are, said Mr. Ned, -venturing to look from the portrait to its rival. - -I suspect you of being an adroit flatterer, said Rosamond, feeling -sure that she should have to reject this young gentleman a second time. - -But now Lydgate came in; the book was closed before he reached -Rosamonds corner, and as he took his seat with easy confidence on the -other side of her, young Plymdales jaw fell like a barometer towards -the cheerless side of change. Rosamond enjoyed not only Lydgates -presence but its effect: she liked to excite jealousy. - -What a late comer you are! she said, as they shook hands. Mamma had -given you up a little while ago. How do you find Fred? - -As usual; going on well, but slowly. I want him to go awayto Stone -Court, for example. But your mamma seems to have some objection. - -Poor fellow! said Rosamond, prettily. You will see Fred so changed, -she added, turning to the other suitor; we have looked to Mr. Lydgate -as our guardian angel during this illness. - -Mr. Ned smiled nervously, while Lydgate, drawing the Keepsake towards -him and opening it, gave a short scornful laugh and tossed up his chin, -as if in wonderment at human folly. - -What are you laughing at so profanely? said Rosamond, with bland -neutrality. - -I wonder which would turn out to be the silliestthe engravings or the -writing here, said Lydgate, in his most convinced tone, while he -turned over the pages quickly, seeming to see all through the book in -no time, and showing his large white hands to much advantage, as -Rosamond thought. Do look at this bridegroom coming out of church: did -you ever see such a sugared inventionas the Elizabethans used to -say? Did any haberdasher ever look so smirking? Yet I will answer for -it the story makes him one of the first gentlemen in the land. - -You are so severe, I am frightened at you, said Rosamond, keeping her -amusement duly moderate. Poor young Plymdale had lingered with -admiration over this very engraving, and his spirit was stirred. - -There are a great many celebrated people writing in the Keepsake, at -all events, he said, in a tone at once piqued and timid. This is the -first time I have heard it called silly. - -I think I shall turn round on you and accuse you of being a Goth, -said Rosamond, looking at Lydgate with a smile. I suspect you know -nothing about Lady Blessington and L. E. L. Rosamond herself was not -without relish for these writers, but she did not readily commit -herself by admiration, and was alive to the slightest hint that -anything was not, according to Lydgate, in the very highest taste. - -But Sir Walter ScottI suppose Mr. Lydgate knows him, said young -Plymdale, a little cheered by this advantage. - -Oh, I read no literature now, said Lydgate, shutting the book, and -pushing it away. I read so much when I was a lad, that I suppose it -will last me all my life. I used to know Scotts poems by heart. - -I should like to know when you left off, said Rosamond, because then -I might be sure that I knew something which you did not know. - -Mr. Lydgate would say that was not worth knowing, said Mr. Ned, -purposely caustic. - -On the contrary, said Lydgate, showing no smart; but smiling with -exasperating confidence at Rosamond. It would be worth knowing by the -fact that Miss Vincy could tell it me. - -Young Plymdale soon went to look at the whist-playing, thinking that -Lydgate was one of the most conceited, unpleasant fellows it had ever -been his ill-fortune to meet. - -How rash you are! said Rosamond, inwardly delighted. Do you see that -you have given offence? - -What! is it Mr. Plymdales book? I am sorry. I didnt think about it. - -I shall begin to admit what you said of yourself when you first came -herethat you are a bear, and want teaching by the birds. - -Well, there is a bird who can teach me what she will. Dont I listen -to her willingly? - -To Rosamond it seemed as if she and Lydgate were as good as engaged. -That they were some time to be engaged had long been an idea in her -mind; and ideas, we know, tend to a more solid kind of existence, the -necessary materials being at hand. It is true, Lydgate had the -counter-idea of remaining unengaged; but this was a mere negative, a -shadow cast by other resolves which themselves were capable of -shrinking. Circumstance was almost sure to be on the side of Rosamonds -idea, which had a shaping activity and looked through watchful blue -eyes, whereas Lydgates lay blind and unconcerned as a jelly-fish which -gets melted without knowing it. - -That evening when he went home, he looked at his phials to see how a -process of maceration was going on, with undisturbed interest; and he -wrote out his daily notes with as much precision as usual. The reveries -from which it was difficult for him to detach himself were ideal -constructions of something else than Rosamonds virtues, and the -primitive tissue was still his fair unknown. Moreover, he was beginning -to feel some zest for the growing though half-suppressed feud between -him and the other medical men, which was likely to become more -manifest, now that Bulstrodes method of managing the new hospital was -about to be declared; and there were various inspiriting signs that his -non-acceptance by some of Peacocks patients might be counterbalanced -by the impression he had produced in other quarters. Only a few days -later, when he had happened to overtake Rosamond on the Lowick road and -had got down from his horse to walk by her side until he had quite -protected her from a passing drove, he had been stopped by a servant on -horseback with a message calling him in to a house of some importance -where Peacock had never attended; and it was the second instance of -this kind. The servant was Sir James Chettams, and the house was -Lowick Manor. - - - - -CHAPTER XXVIII. - -1_st Gent_. All times are good to seek your wedded home - Bringing a mutual delight. - -2_d Gent_. Why, true. - The calendar hath not an evil day - For souls made one by love, and even death - Were sweetness, if it came like rolling waves - While they two clasped each other, and foresaw - No life apart. - - -Mr. and Mrs. Casaubon, returning from their wedding journey, arrived at -Lowick Manor in the middle of January. A light snow was falling as they -descended at the door, and in the morning, when Dorothea passed from -her dressing-room into the blue-green boudoir that we know of, she saw -the long avenue of limes lifting their trunks from a white earth, and -spreading white branches against the dun and motionless sky. The -distant flat shrank in uniform whiteness and low-hanging uniformity of -cloud. The very furniture in the room seemed to have shrunk since she -saw it before: the stag in the tapestry looked more like a ghost in his -ghostly blue-green world; the volumes of polite literature in the -bookcase looked more like immovable imitations of books. The bright -fire of dry oak-boughs burning on the logs seemed an incongruous -renewal of life and glowlike the figure of Dorothea herself as she -entered carrying the red-leather cases containing the cameos for Celia. - -She was glowing from her morning toilet as only healthful youth can -glow: there was gem-like brightness on her coiled hair and in her hazel -eyes; there was warm red life in her lips; her throat had a breathing -whiteness above the differing white of the fur which itself seemed to -wind about her neck and cling down her blue-gray pelisse with a -tenderness gathered from her own, a sentient commingled innocence which -kept its loveliness against the crystalline purity of the outdoor snow. -As she laid the cameo-cases on the table in the bow-window, she -unconsciously kept her hands on them, immediately absorbed in looking -out on the still, white enclosure which made her visible world. - -Mr. Casaubon, who had risen early complaining of palpitation, was in -the library giving audience to his curate Mr. Tucker. By-and-by Celia -would come in her quality of bridesmaid as well as sister, and through -the next weeks there would be wedding visits received and given; all in -continuance of that transitional life understood to correspond with the -excitement of bridal felicity, and keeping up the sense of busy -ineffectiveness, as of a dream which the dreamer begins to suspect. The -duties of her married life, contemplated as so great beforehand, seemed -to be shrinking with the furniture and the white vapor-walled -landscape. The clear heights where she expected to walk in full -communion had become difficult to see even in her imagination; the -delicious repose of the soul on a complete superior had been shaken -into uneasy effort and alarmed with dim presentiment. When would the -days begin of that active wifely devotion which was to strengthen her -husbands life and exalt her own? Never perhaps, as she had -preconceived them; but somehowstill somehow. In this solemnly pledged -union of her life, duty would present itself in some new form of -inspiration and give a new meaning to wifely love. - -Meanwhile there was the snow and the low arch of dun vaporthere was -the stifling oppression of that gentlewomans world, where everything -was done for her and none asked for her aidwhere the sense of -connection with a manifold pregnant existence had to be kept up -painfully as an inward vision, instead of coming from without in claims -that would have shaped her energies. What shall I do? Whatever you -please, my dear: that had been her brief history since she had left -off learning morning lessons and practising silly rhythms on the hated -piano. Marriage, which was to bring guidance into worthy and imperative -occupation, had not yet freed her from the gentlewomans oppressive -liberty: it had not even filled her leisure with the ruminant joy of -unchecked tenderness. Her blooming full-pulsed youth stood there in a -moral imprisonment which made itself one with the chill, colorless, -narrowed landscape, with the shrunken furniture, the never-read books, -and the ghostly stag in a pale fantastic world that seemed to be -vanishing from the daylight. - -In the first minutes when Dorothea looked out she felt nothing but the -dreary oppression; then came a keen remembrance, and turning away from -the window she walked round the room. The ideas and hopes which were -living in her mind when she first saw this room nearly three months -before were present now only as memories: she judged them as we judge -transient and departed things. All existence seemed to beat with a -lower pulse than her own, and her religious faith was a solitary cry, -the struggle out of a nightmare in which every object was withering and -shrinking away from her. Each remembered thing in the room was -disenchanted, was deadened as an unlit transparency, till her wandering -gaze came to the group of miniatures, and there at last she saw -something which had gathered new breath and meaning: it was the -miniature of Mr. Casaubons aunt Julia, who had made the unfortunate -marriageof Will Ladislaws grandmother. Dorothea could fancy that it -was alive nowthe delicate womans face which yet had a headstrong -look, a peculiarity difficult to interpret. Was it only her friends who -thought her marriage unfortunate? or did she herself find it out to be -a mistake, and taste the salt bitterness of her tears in the merciful -silence of the night? What breadths of experience Dorothea seemed to -have passed over since she first looked at this miniature! She felt a -new companionship with it, as if it had an ear for her and could see -how she was looking at it. Here was a woman who had known some -difficulty about marriage. Nay, the colors deepened, the lips and chin -seemed to get larger, the hair and eyes seemed to be sending out light, -the face was masculine and beamed on her with that full gaze which -tells her on whom it falls that she is too interesting for the -slightest movement of her eyelid to pass unnoticed and uninterpreted. -The vivid presentation came like a pleasant glow to Dorothea: she felt -herself smiling, and turning from the miniature sat down and looked up -as if she were again talking to a figure in front of her. But the smile -disappeared as she went on meditating, and at last she said aloud - -Oh, it was cruel to speak so! How sadhow dreadful! - -She rose quickly and went out of the room, hurrying along the corridor, -with the irresistible impulse to go and see her husband and inquire if -she could do anything for him. Perhaps Mr. Tucker was gone and Mr. -Casaubon was alone in the library. She felt as if all her mornings -gloom would vanish if she could see her husband glad because of her -presence. - -But when she reached the head of the dark oak there was Celia coming -up, and below there was Mr. Brooke, exchanging welcomes and -congratulations with Mr. Casaubon. - -Dodo! said Celia, in her quiet staccato; then kissed her sister, -whose arms encircled her, and said no more. I think they both cried a -little in a furtive manner, while Dorothea ran down-stairs to greet her -uncle. - -I need not ask how you are, my dear, said Mr. Brooke, after kissing -her forehead. Rome has agreed with you, I seehappiness, frescos, the -antiquethat sort of thing. Well, its very pleasant to have you back -again, and you understand all about art now, eh? But Casaubon is a -little pale, I tell hima little pale, you know. Studying hard in his -holidays is carrying it rather too far. I overdid it at one timeMr. -Brooke still held Dorotheas hand, but had turned his face to Mr. -Casaubonabout topography, ruins, templesI thought I had a clew, but -I saw it would carry me too far, and nothing might come of it. You may -go any length in that sort of thing, and nothing may come of it, you -know. - -Dorotheas eyes also were turned up to her husbands face with some -anxiety at the idea that those who saw him afresh after absence might -be aware of signs which she had not noticed. - -Nothing to alarm you, my dear, said Mr. Brooke, observing her -expression. A little English beef and mutton will soon make a -difference. It was all very well to look pale, sitting for the portrait -of Aquinas, you knowwe got your letter just in time. But Aquinas, -nowhe was a little too subtle, wasnt he? Does anybody read Aquinas? - -He is not indeed an author adapted to superficial minds, said Mr. -Casaubon, meeting these timely questions with dignified patience. - -You would like coffee in your own room, uncle? said Dorothea, coming -to the rescue. - -Yes; and you must go to Celia: she has great news to tell you, you -know. I leave it all to her. - -The blue-green boudoir looked much more cheerful when Celia was seated -there in a pelisse exactly like her sisters, surveying the cameos with -a placid satisfaction, while the conversation passed on to other -topics. - -Do you think it nice to go to Rome on a wedding journey? said Celia, -with her ready delicate blush which Dorothea was used to on the -smallest occasions. - -It would not suit allnot you, dear, for example, said Dorothea, -quietly. No one would ever know what she thought of a wedding journey -to Rome. - -Mrs. Cadwallader says it is nonsense, people going a long journey when -they are married. She says they get tired to death of each other, and -cant quarrel comfortably, as they would at home. And Lady Chettam says -she went to Bath. Celias color changed again and againseemed - -To come and go with tidings from the heart, -As it a running messenger had been. - - -It must mean more than Celias blushing usually did. - -Celia! has something happened? said Dorothea, in a tone full of -sisterly feeling. Have you really any great news to tell me? - -It was because you went away, Dodo. Then there was nobody but me for -Sir James to talk to, said Celia, with a certain roguishness in her -eyes. - -I understand. It is as I used to hope and believe, said Dorothea, -taking her sisters face between her hands, and looking at her half -anxiously. Celias marriage seemed more serious than it used to do. - -It was only three days ago, said Celia. And Lady Chettam is very -kind. - -And you are very happy? - -Yes. We are not going to be married yet. Because every thing is to be -got ready. And I dont want to be married so very soon, because I think -it is nice to be engaged. And we shall be married all our lives after. - -I do believe you could not marry better, Kitty. Sir James is a good, -honorable man, said Dorothea, warmly. - -He has gone on with the cottages, Dodo. He will tell you about them -when he comes. Shall you be glad to see him? - -Of course I shall. How can you ask me? - -Only I was afraid you would be getting so learned, said Celia, -regarding Mr. Casaubons learning as a kind of damp which might in due -time saturate a neighboring body. - - - - -CHAPTER XXIX. - -I found that no genius in another could please me. My unfortunate -paradoxes had entirely dried up that source of comfort.GOLDSMITH. - - -One morning, some weeks after her arrival at Lowick, Dorotheabut why -always Dorothea? Was her point of view the only possible one with -regard to this marriage? I protest against all our interest, all our -effort at understanding being given to the young skins that look -blooming in spite of trouble; for these too will get faded, and will -know the older and more eating griefs which we are helping to neglect. -In spite of the blinking eyes and white moles objectionable to Celia, -and the want of muscular curve which was morally painful to Sir James, -Mr. Casaubon had an intense consciousness within him, and was -spiritually a-hungered like the rest of us. He had done nothing -exceptional in marryingnothing but what society sanctions, and -considers an occasion for wreaths and bouquets. It had occurred to him -that he must not any longer defer his intention of matrimony, and he -had reflected that in taking a wife, a man of good position should -expect and carefully choose a blooming young ladythe younger the -better, because more educable and submissiveof a rank equal to his -own, of religious principles, virtuous disposition, and good -understanding. On such a young lady he would make handsome settlements, -and he would neglect no arrangement for her happiness: in return, he -should receive family pleasures and leave behind him that copy of -himself which seemed so urgently required of a manto the sonneteers of -the sixteenth century. Times had altered since then, and no sonneteer -had insisted on Mr. Casaubons leaving a copy of himself; moreover, he -had not yet succeeded in issuing copies of his mythological key; but he -had always intended to acquit himself by marriage, and the sense that -he was fast leaving the years behind him, that the world was getting -dimmer and that he felt lonely, was a reason to him for losing no more -time in overtaking domestic delights before they too were left behind -by the years. - -And when he had seen Dorothea he believed that he had found even more -than he demanded: she might really be such a helpmate to him as would -enable him to dispense with a hired secretary, an aid which Mr. -Casaubon had never yet employed and had a suspicious dread of. (Mr. -Casaubon was nervously conscious that he was expected to manifest a -powerful mind.) Providence, in its kindness, had supplied him with the -wife he needed. A wife, a modest young lady, with the purely -appreciative, unambitious abilities of her sex, is sure to think her -husbands mind powerful. Whether Providence had taken equal care of -Miss Brooke in presenting her with Mr. Casaubon was an idea which could -hardly occur to him. Society never made the preposterous demand that a -man should think as much about his own qualifications for making a -charming girl happy as he thinks of hers for making himself happy. As -if a man could choose not only his wife but his wifes husband! Or as -if he were bound to provide charms for his posterity in his own -person! When Dorothea accepted him with effusion, that was only -natural; and Mr. Casaubon believed that his happiness was going to -begin. - -He had not had much foretaste of happiness in his previous life. To -know intense joy without a strong bodily frame, one must have an -enthusiastic soul. Mr. Casaubon had never had a strong bodily frame, -and his soul was sensitive without being enthusiastic: it was too -languid to thrill out of self-consciousness into passionate delight; it -went on fluttering in the swampy ground where it was hatched, thinking -of its wings and never flying. His experience was of that pitiable kind -which shrinks from pity, and fears most of all that it should be known: -it was that proud narrow sensitiveness which has not mass enough to -spare for transformation into sympathy, and quivers thread-like in -small currents of self-preoccupation or at best of an egoistic -scrupulosity. And Mr. Casaubon had many scruples: he was capable of a -severe self-restraint; he was resolute in being a man of honor -according to the code; he would be unimpeachable by any recognized -opinion. In conduct these ends had been attained; but the difficulty of -making his Key to all Mythologies unimpeachable weighed like lead upon -his mind; and the pamphletsor Parerga as he called themby which he -tested his public and deposited small monumental records of his march, -were far from having been seen in all their significance. He suspected -the Archdeacon of not having read them; he was in painful doubt as to -what was really thought of them by the leading minds of Brasenose, and -bitterly convinced that his old acquaintance Carp had been the writer -of that depreciatory recension which was kept locked in a small drawer -of Mr. Casaubons desk, and also in a dark closet of his verbal memory. -These were heavy impressions to struggle against, and brought that -melancholy embitterment which is the consequence of all excessive -claim: even his religious faith wavered with his wavering trust in his -own authorship, and the consolations of the Christian hope in -immortality seemed to lean on the immortality of the still unwritten -Key to all Mythologies. For my part I am very sorry for him. It is an -uneasy lot at best, to be what we call highly taught and yet not to -enjoy: to be present at this great spectacle of life and never to be -liberated from a small hungry shivering selfnever to be fully -possessed by the glory we behold, never to have our consciousness -rapturously transformed into the vividness of a thought, the ardor of a -passion, the energy of an action, but always to be scholarly and -uninspired, ambitious and timid, scrupulous and dim-sighted. Becoming a -dean or even a bishop would make little difference, I fear, to Mr. -Casaubons uneasiness. Doubtless some ancient Greek has observed that -behind the big mask and the speaking-trumpet, there must always be our -poor little eyes peeping as usual and our timorous lips more or less -under anxious control. - -To this mental estate mapped out a quarter of a century before, to -sensibilities thus fenced in, Mr. Casaubon had thought of annexing -happiness with a lovely young bride; but even before marriage, as we -have seen, he found himself under a new depression in the consciousness -that the new bliss was not blissful to him. Inclination yearned back to -its old, easier custom. And the deeper he went in domesticity the more -did the sense of acquitting himself and acting with propriety -predominate over any other satisfaction. Marriage, like religion and -erudition, nay, like authorship itself, was fated to become an outward -requirement, and Edward Casaubon was bent on fulfilling unimpeachably -all requirements. Even drawing Dorothea into use in his study, -according to his own intention before marriage, was an effort which he -was always tempted to defer, and but for her pleading insistence it -might never have begun. But she had succeeded in making it a matter of -course that she should take her place at an early hour in the library -and have work either of reading aloud or copying assigned her. The work -had been easier to define because Mr. Casaubon had adopted an immediate -intention: there was to be a new Parergon, a small monograph on some -lately traced indications concerning the Egyptian mysteries whereby -certain assertions of Warburtons could be corrected. References were -extensive even here, but not altogether shoreless; and sentences were -actually to be written in the shape wherein they would be scanned by -Brasenose and a less formidable posterity. These minor monumental -productions were always exciting to Mr. Casaubon; digestion was made -difficult by the interference of citations, or by the rivalry of -dialectical phrases ringing against each other in his brain. And from -the first there was to be a Latin dedication about which everything was -uncertain except that it was not to be addressed to Carp: it was a -poisonous regret to Mr. Casaubon that he had once addressed a -dedication to Carp in which he had numbered that member of the animal -kingdom among the _viros nullo vo perituros_, a mistake which would -infallibly lay the dedicator open to ridicule in the next age, and -might even be chuckled over by Pike and Tench in the present. - -Thus Mr. Casaubon was in one of his busiest epochs, and as I began to -say a little while ago, Dorothea joined him early in the library where -he had breakfasted alone. Celia at this time was on a second visit to -Lowick, probably the last before her marriage, and was in the -drawing-room expecting Sir James. - -Dorothea had learned to read the signs of her husbands mood, and she -saw that the morning had become more foggy there during the last hour. -She was going silently to her desk when he said, in that distant tone -which implied that he was discharging a disagreeable duty - -Dorothea, here is a letter for you, which was enclosed in one -addressed to me. - -It was a letter of two pages, and she immediately looked at the -signature. - -Mr. Ladislaw! What can he have to say to me? she exclaimed, in a tone -of pleased surprise. But, she added, looking at Mr. Casaubon, I can -imagine what he has written to you about. - -You can, if you please, read the letter, said Mr. Casaubon, severely -pointing to it with his pen, and not looking at her. But I may as well -say beforehand, that I must decline the proposal it contains to pay a -visit here. I trust I may be excused for desiring an interval of -complete freedom from such distractions as have been hitherto -inevitable, and especially from guests whose desultory vivacity makes -their presence a fatigue. - -There had been no clashing of temper between Dorothea and her husband -since that little explosion in Rome, which had left such strong traces -in her mind that it had been easier ever since to quell emotion than to -incur the consequence of venting it. But this ill-tempered anticipation -that she could desire visits which might be disagreeable to her -husband, this gratuitous defence of himself against selfish complaint -on her part, was too sharp a sting to be meditated on until after it -had been resented. Dorothea had thought that she could have been -patient with John Milton, but she had never imagined him behaving in -this way; and for a moment Mr. Casaubon seemed to be stupidly -undiscerning and odiously unjust. Pity, that new-born babe which was -by-and-by to rule many a storm within her, did not stride the blast -on this occasion. With her first words, uttered in a tone that shook -him, she startled Mr. Casaubon into looking at her, and meeting the -flash of her eyes. - -Why do you attribute to me a wish for anything that would annoy you? -You speak to me as if I were something you had to contend against. Wait -at least till I appear to consult my own pleasure apart from yours. - -Dorothea, you are hasty, answered Mr. Casaubon, nervously. - -Decidedly, this woman was too young to be on the formidable level of -wifehoodunless she had been pale and featureless and taken everything -for granted. - -I think it was you who were first hasty in your false suppositions -about my feeling, said Dorothea, in the same tone. The fire was not -dissipated yet, and she thought it was ignoble in her husband not to -apologize to her. - -We will, if you please, say no more on this subject, Dorothea. I have -neither leisure nor energy for this kind of debate. - -Here Mr. Casaubon dipped his pen and made as if he would return to his -writing, though his hand trembled so much that the words seemed to be -written in an unknown character. There are answers which, in turning -away wrath, only send it to the other end of the room, and to have a -discussion coolly waived when you feel that justice is all on your own -side is even more exasperating in marriage than in philosophy. - -Dorothea left Ladislaws two letters unread on her husbands -writing-table and went to her own place, the scorn and indignation -within her rejecting the reading of these letters, just as we hurl away -any trash towards which we seem to have been suspected of mean -cupidity. She did not in the least divine the subtle sources of her -husbands bad temper about these letters: she only knew that they had -caused him to offend her. She began to work at once, and her hand did -not tremble; on the contrary, in writing out the quotations which had -been given to her the day before, she felt that she was forming her -letters beautifully, and it seemed to her that she saw the construction -of the Latin she was copying, and which she was beginning to -understand, more clearly than usual. In her indignation there was a -sense of superiority, but it went out for the present in firmness of -stroke, and did not compress itself into an inward articulate voice -pronouncing the once affable archangel a poor creature. - -There had been this apparent quiet for half an hour, and Dorothea had -not looked away from her own table, when she heard the loud bang of a -book on the floor, and turning quickly saw Mr. Casaubon on the library -steps clinging forward as if he were in some bodily distress. She -started up and bounded towards him in an instant: he was evidently in -great straits for breath. Jumping on a stool she got close to his elbow -and said with her whole soul melted into tender alarm - -Can you lean on me, dear? - -He was still for two or three minutes, which seemed endless to her, -unable to speak or move, gasping for breath. When at last he descended -the three steps and fell backward in the large chair which Dorothea had -drawn close to the foot of the ladder, he no longer gasped but seemed -helpless and about to faint. Dorothea rang the bell violently, and -presently Mr. Casaubon was helped to the couch: he did not faint, and -was gradually reviving, when Sir James Chettam came in, having been met -in the hall with the news that Mr. Casaubon had had a fit in the -library. - -Good God! this is just what might have been expected, was his -immediate thought. If his prophetic soul had been urged to -particularize, it seemed to him that fits would have been the -definite expression alighted upon. He asked his informant, the butler, -whether the doctor had been sent for. The butler never knew his master -to want the doctor before; but would it not be right to send for a -physician? - -When Sir James entered the library, however, Mr. Casaubon could make -some signs of his usual politeness, and Dorothea, who in the reaction -from her first terror had been kneeling and sobbing by his side now -rose and herself proposed that some one should ride off for a medical -man. - -I recommend you to send for Lydgate, said Sir James. My mother has -called him in, and she has found him uncommonly clever. She has had a -poor opinion of the physicians since my fathers death. - -Dorothea appealed to her husband, and he made a silent sign of -approval. So Mr. Lydgate was sent for and he came wonderfully soon, for -the messenger, who was Sir James Chettams man and knew Mr. Lydgate, -met him leading his horse along the Lowick road and giving his arm to -Miss Vincy. - -Celia, in the drawing-room, had known nothing of the trouble till Sir -James told her of it. After Dorotheas account, he no longer considered -the illness a fit, but still something of that nature. - -Poor dear Dodohow dreadful! said Celia, feeling as much grieved as -her own perfect happiness would allow. Her little hands were clasped, -and enclosed by Sir Jamess as a bud is enfolded by a liberal calyx. -It is very shocking that Mr. Casaubon should be ill; but I never did -like him. And I think he is not half fond enough of Dorothea; and he -ought to be, for I am sure no one else would have had himdo you think -they would? - -I always thought it a horrible sacrifice of your sister, said Sir -James. - -Yes. But poor Dodo never did do what other people do, and I think she -never will. - -She is a noble creature, said the loyal-hearted Sir James. He had -just had a fresh impression of this kind, as he had seen Dorothea -stretching her tender arm under her husbands neck and looking at him -with unspeakable sorrow. He did not know how much penitence there was -in the sorrow. - -Yes, said Celia, thinking it was very well for Sir James to say so, -but _he_ would not have been comfortable with Dodo. Shall I go to her? -Could I help her, do you think? - -I think it would be well for you just to go and see her before Lydgate -comes, said Sir James, magnanimously. Only dont stay long. - -While Celia was gone he walked up and down remembering what he had -originally felt about Dorotheas engagement, and feeling a revival of -his disgust at Mr. Brookes indifference. If Cadwalladerif every one -else had regarded the affair as he, Sir James, had done, the marriage -might have been hindered. It was wicked to let a young girl blindly -decide her fate in that way, without any effort to save her. Sir James -had long ceased to have any regrets on his own account: his heart was -satisfied with his engagement to Celia. But he had a chivalrous nature -(was not the disinterested service of woman among the ideal glories of -old chivalry?): his disregarded love had not turned to bitterness; its -death had made sweet odorsfloating memories that clung with a -consecrating effect to Dorothea. He could remain her brotherly friend, -interpreting her actions with generous trustfulness. - - - - -CHAPTER XXX. - -Qui veut dlasser hors de propos, lasse.PASCAL. - - -Mr. Casaubon had no second attack of equal severity with the first, and -in a few days began to recover his usual condition. But Lydgate seemed -to think the case worth a great deal of attention. He not only used his -stethoscope (which had not become a matter of course in practice at -that time), but sat quietly by his patient and watched him. To Mr. -Casaubons questions about himself, he replied that the source of the -illness was the common error of intellectual mena too eager and -monotonous application: the remedy was, to be satisfied with moderate -work, and to seek variety of relaxation. Mr. Brooke, who sat by on one -occasion, suggested that Mr. Casaubon should go fishing, as Cadwallader -did, and have a turning-room, make toys, table-legs, and that kind of -thing. - -In short, you recommend me to anticipate the arrival of my second -childhood, said poor Mr. Casaubon, with some bitterness. These -things, he added, looking at Lydgate, would be to me such relaxation -as tow-picking is to prisoners in a house of correction. - -I confess, said Lydgate, smiling, amusement is rather an -unsatisfactory prescription. It is something like telling people to -keep up their spirits. Perhaps I had better say, that you must submit -to be mildly bored rather than to go on working. - -Yes, yes, said Mr. Brooke. Get Dorothea to play backgammon with you -in the evenings. And shuttlecock, nowI dont know a finer game than -shuttlecock for the daytime. I remember it all the fashion. To be sure, -your eyes might not stand that, Casaubon. But you must unbend, you -know. Why, you might take to some light study: conchology, now: I -always think that must be a light study. Or get Dorothea to read you -light things, SmollettRoderick Random, Humphrey Clinker: they are -a little broad, but she may read anything now shes married, you know. -I remember they made me laugh uncommonlytheres a droll bit about a -postilions breeches. We have no such humor now. I have gone through -all these things, but they might be rather new to you. - -As new as eating thistles, would have been an answer to represent Mr. -Casaubons feelings. But he only bowed resignedly, with due respect to -his wifes uncle, and observed that doubtless the works he mentioned -had served as a resource to a certain order of minds. - -You see, said the able magistrate to Lydgate, when they were outside -the door, Casaubon has been a little narrow: it leaves him rather at a -loss when you forbid him his particular work, which I believe is -something very deep indeedin the line of research, you know. I would -never give way to that; I was always versatile. But a clergyman is tied -a little tight. If they would make him a bishop, now!he did a very -good pamphlet for Peel. He would have more movement then, more show; he -might get a little flesh. But I recommend you to talk to Mrs. Casaubon. -She is clever enough for anything, is my niece. Tell her, her husband -wants liveliness, diversion: put her on amusing tactics. - -Without Mr. Brookes advice, Lydgate had determined on speaking to -Dorothea. She had not been present while her uncle was throwing out his -pleasant suggestions as to the mode in which life at Lowick might be -enlivened, but she was usually by her husbands side, and the -unaffected signs of intense anxiety in her face and voice about -whatever touched his mind or health, made a drama which Lydgate was -inclined to watch. He said to himself that he was only doing right in -telling her the truth about her husbands probable future, but he -certainly thought also that it would be interesting to talk -confidentially with her. A medical man likes to make psychological -observations, and sometimes in the pursuit of such studies is too -easily tempted into momentous prophecy which life and death easily set -at nought. Lydgate had often been satirical on this gratuitous -prediction, and he meant now to be guarded. - -He asked for Mrs. Casaubon, but being told that she was out walking, he -was going away, when Dorothea and Celia appeared, both glowing from -their struggle with the March wind. When Lydgate begged to speak with -her alone, Dorothea opened the library door which happened to be the -nearest, thinking of nothing at the moment but what he might have to -say about Mr. Casaubon. It was the first time she had entered this room -since her husband had been taken ill, and the servant had chosen not to -open the shutters. But there was light enough to read by from the -narrow upper panes of the windows. - -You will not mind this sombre light, said Dorothea, standing in the -middle of the room. Since you forbade books, the library has been out -of the question. But Mr. Casaubon will soon be here again, I hope. Is -he not making progress? - -Yes, much more rapid progress than I at first expected. Indeed, he is -already nearly in his usual state of health. - -You do not fear that the illness will return? said Dorothea, whose -quick ear had detected some significance in Lydgates tone. - -Such cases are peculiarly difficult to pronounce upon, said Lydgate. -The only point on which I can be confident is that it will be -desirable to be very watchful on Mr. Casaubons account, lest he should -in any way strain his nervous power. - -I beseech you to speak quite plainly, said Dorothea, in an imploring -tone. I cannot bear to think that there might be something which I did -not know, and which, if I had known it, would have made me act -differently. The words came out like a cry: it was evident that they -were the voice of some mental experience which lay not very far off. - -Sit down, she added, placing herself on the nearest chair, and -throwing off her bonnet and gloves, with an instinctive discarding of -formality where a great question of destiny was concerned. - -What you say now justifies my own view, said Lydgate. I think it is -ones function as a medical man to hinder regrets of that sort as far -as possible. But I beg you to observe that Mr. Casaubons case is -precisely of the kind in which the issue is most difficult to pronounce -upon. He may possibly live for fifteen years or more, without much -worse health than he has had hitherto. - -Dorothea had turned very pale, and when Lydgate paused she said in a -low voice, You mean if we are very careful. - -Yescareful against mental agitation of all kinds, and against -excessive application. - -He would be miserable, if he had to give up his work, said Dorothea, -with a quick prevision of that wretchedness. - -I am aware of that. The only course is to try by all means, direct and -indirect, to moderate and vary his occupations. With a happy -concurrence of circumstances, there is, as I said, no immediate danger -from that affection of the heart, which I believe to have been the -cause of his late attack. On the other hand, it is possible that the -disease may develop itself more rapidly: it is one of those cases in -which death is sometimes sudden. Nothing should be neglected which -might be affected by such an issue. - -There was silence for a few moments, while Dorothea sat as if she had -been turned to marble, though the life within her was so intense that -her mind had never before swept in brief time over an equal range of -scenes and motives. - -Help me, pray, she said, at last, in the same low voice as before. -Tell me what I can do. - -What do you think of foreign travel? You have been lately in Rome, I -think. - -The memories which made this resource utterly hopeless were a new -current that shook Dorothea out of her pallid immobility. - -Oh, that would not dothat would be worse than anything, she said -with a more childlike despondency, while the tears rolled down. -Nothing will be of any use that he does not enjoy. - -I wish that I could have spared you this pain, said Lydgate, deeply -touched, yet wondering about her marriage. Women just like Dorothea had -not entered into his traditions. - -It was right of you to tell me. I thank you for telling me the truth. - -I wish you to understand that I shall not say anything to enlighten -Mr. Casaubon himself. I think it desirable for him to know nothing more -than that he must not overwork himself, and must observe certain rules. -Anxiety of any kind would be precisely the most unfavorable condition -for him. - -Lydgate rose, and Dorothea mechanically rose at the same time, -unclasping her cloak and throwing it off as if it stifled her. He was -bowing and quitting her, when an impulse which if she had been alone -would have turned into a prayer, made her say with a sob in her voice - -Oh, you are a wise man, are you not? You know all about life and -death. Advise me. Think what I can do. He has been laboring all his -life and looking forward. He minds about nothing else. And I mind -about nothing else - -For years after Lydgate remembered the impression produced in him by -this involuntary appealthis cry from soul to soul, without other -consciousness than their moving with kindred natures in the same -embroiled medium, the same troublous fitfully illuminated life. But -what could he say now except that he should see Mr. Casaubon again -to-morrow? - -When he was gone, Dorotheas tears gushed forth, and relieved her -stifling oppression. Then she dried her eyes, reminded that her -distress must not be betrayed to her husband; and looked round the room -thinking that she must order the servant to attend to it as usual, -since Mr. Casaubon might now at any moment wish to enter. On his -writing-table there were letters which had lain untouched since the -morning when he was taken ill, and among them, as Dorothea well -remembered, there were young Ladislaws letters, the one addressed to -her still unopened. The associations of these letters had been made the -more painful by that sudden attack of illness which she felt that the -agitation caused by her anger might have helped to bring on: it would -be time enough to read them when they were again thrust upon her, and -she had had no inclination to fetch them from the library. But now it -occurred to her that they should be put out of her husbands sight: -whatever might have been the sources of his annoyance about them, he -must, if possible, not be annoyed again; and she ran her eyes first -over the letter addressed to him to assure herself whether or not it -would be necessary to write in order to hinder the offensive visit. - -Will wrote from Rome, and began by saying that his obligations to Mr. -Casaubon were too deep for all thanks not to seem impertinent. It was -plain that if he were not grateful, he must be the poorest-spirited -rascal who had ever found a generous friend. To expand in wordy thanks -would be like saying, I am honest. But Will had come to perceive that -his defectsdefects which Mr. Casaubon had himself often pointed -toneeded for their correction that more strenuous position which his -relatives generosity had hitherto prevented from being inevitable. He -trusted that he should make the best return, if return were possible, -by showing the effectiveness of the education for which he was -indebted, and by ceasing in future to need any diversion towards -himself of funds on which others might have a better claim. He was -coming to England, to try his fortune, as many other young men were -obliged to do whose only capital was in their brains. His friend -Naumann had desired him to take charge of the Disputethe picture -painted for Mr. Casaubon, with whose permission, and Mrs. Casaubons, -Will would convey it to Lowick in person. A letter addressed to the -Poste Restante in Paris within the fortnight would hinder him, if -necessary, from arriving at an inconvenient moment. He enclosed a -letter to Mrs. Casaubon in which he continued a discussion about art, -begun with her in Rome. - -Opening her own letter Dorothea saw that it was a lively continuation -of his remonstrance with her fanatical sympathy and her want of sturdy -neutral delight in things as they werean outpouring of his young -vivacity which it was impossible to read just now. She had immediately -to consider what was to be done about the other letter: there was still -time perhaps to prevent Will from coming to Lowick. Dorothea ended by -giving the letter to her uncle, who was still in the house, and begging -him to let Will know that Mr. Casaubon had been ill, and that his -health would not allow the reception of any visitors. - -No one more ready than Mr. Brooke to write a letter: his only -difficulty was to write a short one, and his ideas in this case -expanded over the three large pages and the inward foldings. He had -simply said to Dorothea - -To be sure, I will write, my dear. Hes a very clever young -fellowthis young LadislawI dare say will be a rising young man. Its -a good lettermarks his sense of things, you know. However, I will tell -him about Casaubon. - -But the end of Mr. Brookes pen was a thinking organ, evolving -sentences, especially of a benevolent kind, before the rest of his mind -could well overtake them. It expressed regrets and proposed remedies, -which, when Mr. Brooke read them, seemed felicitously -wordedsurprisingly the right thing, and determined a sequel which he -had never before thought of. In this case, his pen found it such a pity -young Ladislaw should not have come into the neighborhood just at that -time, in order that Mr. Brooke might make his acquaintance more fully, -and that they might go over the long-neglected Italian drawings -togetherit also felt such an interest in a young man who was starting -in life with a stock of ideasthat by the end of the second page it had -persuaded Mr. Brooke to invite young Ladislaw, since he could not be -received at Lowick, to come to Tipton Grange. Why not? They could find -a great many things to do together, and this was a period of peculiar -growththe political horizon was expanding, andin short, Mr. Brookes -pen went off into a little speech which it had lately reported for that -imperfectly edited organ the Middlemarch Pioneer. While Mr. Brooke -was sealing this letter, he felt elated with an influx of dim -projects:a young man capable of putting ideas into form, the Pioneer -purchased to clear the pathway for a new candidate, documents -utilizedwho knew what might come of it all? Since Celia was going to -marry immediately, it would be very pleasant to have a young fellow at -table with him, at least for a time. - -But he went away without telling Dorothea what he had put into the -letter, for she was engaged with her husband, andin fact, these things -were of no importance to her. - - - - -CHAPTER XXXI. - -How will you know the pitch of that great bell -Too large for you to stir? Let but a flute -Play neath the fine-mixed metal: listen close -Till the right note flows forth, a silvery rill: -Then shall the huge bell tremblethen the mass -With myriad waves concurrent shall respond -In low soft unison. - - -Lydgate that evening spoke to Miss Vincy of Mrs. Casaubon, and laid -some emphasis on the strong feeling she appeared to have for that -formal studious man thirty years older than herself. - -Of course she is devoted to her husband, said Rosamond, implying a -notion of necessary sequence which the scientific man regarded as the -prettiest possible for a woman; but she was thinking at the same time -that it was not so very melancholy to be mistress of Lowick Manor with -a husband likely to die soon. Do you think her very handsome? - -She certainly is handsome, but I have not thought about it, said -Lydgate. - -I suppose it would be unprofessional, said Rosamond, dimpling. But -how your practice is spreading! You were called in before to the -Chettams, I think; and now, the Casaubons. - -Yes, said Lydgate, in a tone of compulsory admission. But I dont -really like attending such people so well as the poor. The cases are -more monotonous, and one has to go through more fuss and listen more -deferentially to nonsense. - -Not more than in Middlemarch, said Rosamond. And at least you go -through wide corridors and have the scent of rose-leaves everywhere. - -That is true, Mademoiselle de Montmorenci, said Lydgate, just bending -his head to the table and lifting with his fourth finger her delicate -handkerchief which lay at the mouth of her reticule, as if to enjoy its -scent, while he looked at her with a smile. - -But this agreeable holiday freedom with which Lydgate hovered about the -flower of Middlemarch, could not continue indefinitely. It was not more -possible to find social isolation in that town than elsewhere, and two -people persistently flirting could by no means escape from the various -entanglements, weights, blows, clashings, motions, by which things -severally go on. Whatever Miss Vincy did must be remarked, and she was -perhaps the more conspicuous to admirers and critics because just now -Mrs. Vincy, after some struggle, had gone with Fred to stay a little -while at Stone Court, there being no other way of at once gratifying -old Featherstone and keeping watch against Mary Garth, who appeared a -less tolerable daughter-in-law in proportion as Freds illness -disappeared. - -Aunt Bulstrode, for example, came a little oftener into Lowick Gate to -see Rosamond, now she was alone. For Mrs. Bulstrode had a true sisterly -feeling for her brother; always thinking that he might have married -better, but wishing well to the children. Now Mrs. Bulstrode had a -long-standing intimacy with Mrs. Plymdale. They had nearly the same -preferences in silks, patterns for underclothing, china-ware, and -clergymen; they confided their little troubles of health and household -management to each other, and various little points of superiority on -Mrs. Bulstrodes side, namely, more decided seriousness, more -admiration for mind, and a house outside the town, sometimes served to -give color to their conversation without dividing themwell-meaning -women both, knowing very little of their own motives. - -Mrs. Bulstrode, paying a morning visit to Mrs. Plymdale, happened to -say that she could not stay longer, because she was going to see poor -Rosamond. - -Why do you say poor Rosamond? said Mrs. Plymdale, a round-eyed -sharp little woman, like a tamed falcon. - -She is so pretty, and has been brought up in such thoughtlessness. The -mother, you know, had always that levity about her, which makes me -anxious for the children. - -Well, Harriet, if I am to speak my mind, said Mrs. Plymdale, with -emphasis, I must say, anybody would suppose you and Mr. Bulstrode -would be delighted with what has happened, for you have done everything -to put Mr. Lydgate forward. - -Selina, what do you mean? said Mrs. Bulstrode, in genuine surprise. - -Not but what I am truly thankful for Neds sake, said Mrs. Plymdale. -He could certainly better afford to keep such a wife than some people -can; but I should wish him to look elsewhere. Still a mother has -anxieties, and some young men would take to a bad life in consequence. -Besides, if I was obliged to speak, I should say I was not fond of -strangers coming into a town. - -I dont know, Selina, said Mrs. Bulstrode, with a little emphasis in -her turn. Mr. Bulstrode was a stranger here at one time. Abraham and -Moses were strangers in the land, and we are told to entertain -strangers. And especially, she added, after a slight pause, when they -are unexceptionable. - -I was not speaking in a religious sense, Harriet. I spoke as a -mother. - -Selina, I am sure you have never heard me say anything against a niece -of mine marrying your son. - -Oh, it is pride in Miss VincyI am sure it is nothing else, said Mrs. -Plymdale, who had never before given all her confidence to Harriet on -this subject. No young man in Middlemarch was good enough for her: I -have heard her mother say as much. That is not a Christian spirit, I -think. But now, from all I hear, she has found a man as proud as -herself. - -You dont mean that there is anything between Rosamond and Mr. -Lydgate? said Mrs. Bulstrode, rather mortified at finding out her own -ignorance. - -Is it possible you dont know, Harriet? - -Oh, I go about so little; and I am not fond of gossip; I really never -hear any. You see so many people that I dont see. Your circle is -rather different from ours. - -Well, but your own niece and Mr. Bulstrodes great favoriteand yours -too, I am sure, Harriet! I thought, at one time, you meant him for -Kate, when she is a little older. - -I dont believe there can be anything serious at present, said Mrs. -Bulstrode. My brother would certainly have told me. - -Well, people have different ways, but I understand that nobody can see -Miss Vincy and Mr. Lydgate together without taking them to be engaged. -However, it is not my business. Shall I put up the pattern of mittens? - -After this Mrs. Bulstrode drove to her niece with a mind newly -weighted. She was herself handsomely dressed, but she noticed with a -little more regret than usual that Rosamond, who was just come in and -met her in walking-dress, was almost as expensively equipped. Mrs. -Bulstrode was a feminine smaller edition of her brother, and had none -of her husbands low-toned pallor. She had a good honest glance and -used no circumlocution. - -You are alone, I see, my dear, she said, as they entered the -drawing-room together, looking round gravely. Rosamond felt sure that -her aunt had something particular to say, and they sat down near each -other. Nevertheless, the quilling inside Rosamonds bonnet was so -charming that it was impossible not to desire the same kind of thing -for Kate, and Mrs. Bulstrodes eyes, which were rather fine, rolled -round that ample quilled circuit, while she spoke. - -I have just heard something about you that has surprised me very much, -Rosamond. - -What is that, aunt? Rosamonds eyes also were roaming over her aunts -large embroidered collar. - -I can hardly believe itthat you should be engaged without my knowing -itwithout your fathers telling me. Here Mrs. Bulstrodes eyes -finally rested on Rosamonds, who blushed deeply, and said - -I am not engaged, aunt. - -How is it that every one says so, thenthat it is the towns talk? - -The towns talk is of very little consequence, I think, said -Rosamond, inwardly gratified. - -Oh, my dear, be more thoughtful; dont despise your neighbors so. -Remember you are turned twenty-two now, and you will have no fortune: -your father, I am sure, will not be able to spare you anything. Mr. -Lydgate is very intellectual and clever; I know there is an attraction -in that. I like talking to such men myself; and your uncle finds him -very useful. But the profession is a poor one here. To be sure, this -life is not everything; but it is seldom a medical man has true -religious viewsthere is too much pride of intellect. And you are not -fit to marry a poor man. - -Mr. Lydgate is not a poor man, aunt. He has very high connections. - -He told me himself he was poor. - -That is because he is used to people who have a high style of living. - -My dear Rosamond, _you_ must not think of living in high style. - -Rosamond looked down and played with her reticule. She was not a fiery -young lady and had no sharp answers, but she meant to live as she -pleased. - -Then it is really true? said Mrs. Bulstrode, looking very earnestly -at her niece. You are thinking of Mr. Lydgatethere is some -understanding between you, though your father doesnt know. Be open, my -dear Rosamond: Mr. Lydgate has really made you an offer? - -Poor Rosamonds feelings were very unpleasant. She had been quite easy -as to Lydgates feeling and intention, but now when her aunt put this -question she did not like being unable to say Yes. Her pride was hurt, -but her habitual control of manner helped her. - -Pray excuse me, aunt. I would rather not speak on the subject. - -You would not give your heart to a man without a decided prospect, I -trust, my dear. And think of the two excellent offers I know of that -you have refused!and one still within your reach, if you will not -throw it away. I knew a very great beauty who married badly at last, by -doing so. Mr. Ned Plymdale is a nice young mansome might think -good-looking; and an only son; and a large business of that kind is -better than a profession. Not that marrying is everything. I would have -you seek first the kingdom of God. But a girl should keep her heart -within her own power. - -I should never give it to Mr. Ned Plymdale, if it were. I have already -refused him. If I loved, I should love at once and without change, -said Rosamond, with a great sense of being a romantic heroine, and -playing the part prettily. - -I see how it is, my dear, said Mrs. Bulstrode, in a melancholy voice, -rising to go. You have allowed your affections to be engaged without -return. - -No, indeed, aunt, said Rosamond, with emphasis. - -Then you are quite confident that Mr. Lydgate has a serious attachment -to you? - -Rosamonds 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 _tte--tte_ with -Lydgate, in which she passed from inquiries about Fred Vincys health, -and expressions of her sincere anxiety for her brothers 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 herperhaps 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 girls 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. Bulstrodes -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. - -Solomons Proverbs, I think, have omitted to say, that as the sore -palate findeth grit, so an uneasy consciousness heareth innuendoes. The -next day Mr. Farebrother, parting from Lydgate in the street, supposed -that they should meet at Vincys in the evening. Lydgate answered -curtly, nohe had work to dohe must give up going out in the evening. - -What! you are going to get lashed to the mast, eh, and are stopping -your ears? said the Vicar. Well, if you dont mean to be won by the -sirens, you are right to take precautions in time. - -A few days before, Lydgate would have taken no notice of these words as -anything more than the Vicars usual way of putting things. They seemed -now to convey an innuendo which confirmed the impression that he had -been making a fool of himself and behaving so as to be misunderstood: -not, he believed, by Rosamond herself; she, he felt sure, took -everything as lightly as he intended it. She had an exquisite tact and -insight in relation to all points of manners; but the people she lived -among were blunderers and busybodies. However, the mistake should go no -farther. He resolvedand kept his resolutionthat he would not go to -Mr. Vincys except on business. - -Rosamond became very unhappy. The uneasiness first stirred by her -aunts questions grew and grew till at the end of ten days that she had -not seen Lydgate, it grew into terror at the blank that might possibly -comeinto foreboding of that ready, fatal sponge which so cheaply wipes -out the hopes of mortals. The world would have a new dreariness for -her, as a wilderness that a magicians spells had turned for a little -while into a garden. She felt that she was beginning to know the pang -of disappointed love, and that no other man could be the occasion of -such delightful aerial building as she had been enjoying for the last -six months. Poor Rosamond lost her appetite and felt as forlorn as -Ariadneas a charming stage Ariadne left behind with all her boxes full -of costumes and no hope of a coach. - -There are many wonderful mixtures in the world which are all alike -called love, and claim the privileges of a sublime rage which is an -apology for everything (in literature and the drama). Happily Rosamond -did not think of committing any desperate act: she plaited her fair -hair as beautifully as usual, and kept herself proudly calm. Her most -cheerful supposition was that her aunt Bulstrode had interfered in some -way to hinder Lydgates visits: everything was better than a -spontaneous indifference in him. Any one who imagines ten days too -short a timenot for falling into leanness, lightness, or other -measurable effects of passion, butfor the whole spiritual circuit of -alarmed conjecture and disappointment, is ignorant of what can go on in -the elegant leisure of a young ladys mind. - -On the eleventh day, however, Lydgate when leaving Stone Court was -requested by Mrs. Vincy to let her husband know that there was a marked -change in Mr. Featherstones health, and that she wished him to come to -Stone Court on that day. Now Lydgate might have called at the -warehouse, or might have written a message on a leaf of his pocket-book -and left it at the door. Yet these simple devices apparently did not -occur to him, from which we may conclude that he had no strong -objection to calling at the house at an hour when Mr. Vincy was not at -home, and leaving the message with Miss Vincy. A man may, from various -motives, decline to give his company, but perhaps not even a sage would -be gratified that nobody missed him. It would be a graceful, easy way -of piecing on the new habits to the old, to have a few playful words -with Rosamond about his resistance to dissipation, and his firm resolve -to take long fasts even from sweet sounds. It must be confessed, also, -that momentary speculations as to all the possible grounds for Mrs. -Bulstrodes hints had managed to get woven like slight clinging hairs -into the more substantial web of his thoughts. - -Miss Vincy was alone, and blushed so deeply when Lydgate came in that -he felt a corresponding embarrassment, and instead of any playfulness, -he began at once to speak of his reason for calling, and to beg her, -almost formally, to deliver the message to her father. Rosamond, who at -the first moment felt as if her happiness were returning, was keenly -hurt by Lydgates manner; her blush had departed, and she assented -coldly, without adding an unnecessary word, some trivial chain-work -which she had in her hands enabling her to avoid looking at Lydgate -higher than his chin. In all failures, the beginning is certainly the -half of the whole. After sitting two long moments while he moved his -whip and could say nothing, Lydgate rose to go, and Rosamond, made -nervous by her struggle between mortification and the wish not to -betray it, dropped her chain as if startled, and rose too, -mechanically. Lydgate instantaneously stooped to pick up the chain. -When he rose he was very near to a lovely little face set on a fair -long neck which he had been used to see turning about under the most -perfect management of self-contented grace. But as he raised his eyes -now he saw a certain helpless quivering which touched him quite newly, -and made him look at Rosamond with a questioning flash. At this moment -she was as natural as she had ever been when she was five years old: -she felt that her tears had risen, and it was no use to try to do -anything else than let them stay like water on a blue flower or let -them fall over her cheeks, even as they would. - -That moment of naturalness was the crystallizing feather-touch: it -shook flirtation into love. Remember that the ambitious man who was -looking at those Forget-me-nots under the water was very warm-hearted -and rash. He did not know where the chain went; an idea had thrilled -through the recesses within him which had a miraculous effect in -raising the power of passionate love lying buried there in no sealed -sepulchre, but under the lightest, easily pierced mould. His words were -quite abrupt and awkward; but the tone made them sound like an ardent, -appealing avowal. - -What is the matter? you are distressed. Tell me, pray. - -Rosamond had never been spoken to in such tones before. I am not sure -that she knew what the words were: but she looked at Lydgate and the -tears fell over her cheeks. There could have been no more complete -answer than that silence, and Lydgate, forgetting everything else, -completely mastered by the outrush of tenderness at the sudden belief -that this sweet young creature depended on him for her joy, actually -put his arms round her, folding her gently and protectinglyhe was used -to being gentle with the weak and sufferingand kissed each of the two -large tears. This was a strange way of arriving at an understanding, -but it was a short way. Rosamond was not angry, but she moved backward -a little in timid happiness, and Lydgate could now sit near her and -speak less incompletely. Rosamond had to make her little confession, -and he poured out words of gratitude and tenderness with impulsive -lavishment. In half an hour he left the house an engaged man, whose -soul was not his own, but the womans to whom he had bound himself. - -He came again in the evening to speak with Mr. Vincy, who, just -returned from Stone Court, was feeling sure that it would not be long -before he heard of Mr. Featherstones demise. The felicitous word -demise, which had seasonably occurred to him, had raised his spirits -even above their usual evening pitch. The right word is always a power, -and communicates its definiteness to our action. Considered as a -demise, old Featherstones death assumed a merely legal aspect, so that -Mr. Vincy could tap his snuff-box over it and be jovial, without even -an intermittent affectation of solemnity; and Mr. Vincy hated both -solemnity and affectation. Who was ever awe struck about a testator, or -sang a hymn on the title to real property? Mr. Vincy was inclined to -take a jovial view of all things that evening: he even observed to -Lydgate that Fred had got the family constitution after all, and would -soon be as fine a fellow as ever again; and when his approbation of -Rosamonds engagement was asked for, he gave it with astonishing -facility, passing at once to general remarks on the desirableness of -matrimony for young men and maidens, and apparently deducing from the -whole the appropriateness of a little more punch. - - - - -CHAPTER XXXII. - -Theyll take suggestion as a cat laps milk. -SHAKESPEARE: _Tempest_. - - -The triumphant confidence of the Mayor founded on Mr. Featherstones -insistent demand that Fred and his mother should not leave him, was a -feeble emotion compared with all that was agitating the breasts of the -old mans blood-relations, who naturally manifested more their sense of -the family tie and were more visibly numerous now that he had become -bedridden. Naturally: for when poor Peter had occupied his arm-chair -in the wainscoted parlor, no assiduous beetles for whom the cook -prepares boiling water could have been less welcome on a hearth which -they had reasons for preferring, than those persons whose Featherstone -blood was ill-nourished, not from penuriousness on their part, but from -poverty. Brother Solomon and Sister Jane were rich, and the family -candor and total abstinence from false politeness with which they were -always received seemed to them no argument that their brother in the -solemn act of making his will would overlook the superior claims of -wealth. Themselves at least he had never been unnatural enough to -banish from his house, and it seemed hardly eccentric that he should -have kept away Brother Jonah, Sister Martha, and the rest, who had no -shadow of such claims. They knew Peters maxim, that money was a good -egg, and should be laid in a warm nest. - -But Brother Jonah, Sister Martha, and all the needy exiles, held a -different point of view. Probabilities are as various as the faces to -be seen at will in fretwork or paper-hangings: every form is there, -from Jupiter to Judy, if you only look with creative inclination. To -the poorer and least favored it seemed likely that since Peter had done -nothing for them in his life, he would remember them at the last. Jonah -argued that men liked to make a surprise of their wills, while Martha -said that nobody need be surprised if he left the best part of his -money to those who least expected it. Also it was not to be thought but -that an own brother lying there with dropsy in his legs must come to -feel that blood was thicker than water, and if he didnt alter his -will, he might have money by him. At any rate some blood-relations -should be on the premises and on the watch against those who were -hardly relations at all. Such things had been known as forged wills and -disputed wills, which seemed to have the golden-hazy advantage of -somehow enabling non-legatees to live out of them. Again, those who -were no blood-relations might be caught making away with thingsand -poor Peter lying there helpless! Somebody should be on the watch. But -in this conclusion they were at one with Solomon and Jane; also, some -nephews, nieces, and cousins, arguing with still greater subtilty as to -what might be done by a man able to will away his property and give -himself large treats of oddity, felt in a handsome sort of way that -there was a family interest to be attended to, and thought of Stone -Court as a place which it would be nothing but right for them to visit. -Sister Martha, otherwise Mrs. Cranch, living with some wheeziness in -the Chalky Flats, could not undertake the journey; but her son, as -being poor Peters own nephew, could represent her advantageously, and -watch lest his uncle Jonah should make an unfair use of the improbable -things which seemed likely to happen. In fact there was a general sense -running in the Featherstone blood that everybody must watch everybody -else, and that it would be well for everybody else to reflect that the -Almighty was watching him. - -Thus Stone Court continually saw one or other blood-relation alighting -or departing, and Mary Garth had the unpleasant task of carrying their -messages to Mr. Featherstone, who would see none of them, and sent her -down with the still more unpleasant task of telling them so. As manager -of the household she felt bound to ask them in good provincial fashion -to stay and eat; but she chose to consult Mrs. Vincy on the point of -extra down-stairs consumption now that Mr. Featherstone was laid up. - -Oh, my dear, you must do things handsomely where theres last illness -and a property. God knows, I dont grudge them every ham in the -houseonly, save the best for the funeral. Have some stuffed veal -always, and a fine cheese in cut. You must expect to keep open house in -these last illnesses, said liberal Mrs. Vincy, once more of cheerful -note and bright plumage. - -But some of the visitors alighted and did not depart after the handsome -treating to veal and ham. Brother Jonah, for example (there are such -unpleasant people in most families; perhaps even in the highest -aristocracy there are Brobdingnag specimens, gigantically in debt and -bloated at greater expense)Brother Jonah, I say, having come down in -the world, was mainly supported by a calling which he was modest enough -not to boast of, though it was much better than swindling either on -exchange or turf, but which did not require his presence at Brassing so -long as he had a good corner to sit in and a supply of food. He chose -the kitchen-corner, partly because he liked it best, and partly because -he did not want to sit with Solomon, concerning whom he had a strong -brotherly opinion. Seated in a famous arm-chair and in his best suit, -constantly within sight of good cheer, he had a comfortable -consciousness of being on the premises, mingled with fleeting -suggestions of Sunday and the bar at the Green Man; and he informed -Mary Garth that he should not go out of reach of his brother Peter -while that poor fellow was above ground. The troublesome ones in a -family are usually either the wits or the idiots. Jonah was the wit -among the Featherstones, and joked with the maid-servants when they -came about the hearth, but seemed to consider Miss Garth a suspicious -character, and followed her with cold eyes. - -Mary would have borne this one pair of eyes with comparative ease, but -unfortunately there was young Cranch, who, having come all the way from -the Chalky Flats to represent his mother and watch his uncle Jonah, -also felt it his duty to stay and to sit chiefly in the kitchen to give -his uncle company. Young Cranch was not exactly the balancing point -between the wit and the idiot,verging slightly towards the latter -type, and squinting so as to leave everything in doubt about his -sentiments except that they were not of a forcible character. When Mary -Garth entered the kitchen and Mr. Jonah Featherstone began to follow -her with his cold detective eyes, young Cranch turning his head in the -same direction seemed to insist on it that she should remark how he was -squinting, as if he did it with design, like the gypsies when Borrow -read the New Testament to them. This was rather too much for poor Mary; -sometimes it made her bilious, sometimes it upset her gravity. One day -that she had an opportunity she could not resist describing the kitchen -scene to Fred, who would not be hindered from immediately going to see -it, affecting simply to pass through. But no sooner did he face the -four eyes than he had to rush through the nearest door which happened -to lead to the dairy, and there under the high roof and among the pans -he gave way to laughter which made a hollow resonance perfectly audible -in the kitchen. He fled by another doorway, but Mr. Jonah, who had not -before seen Freds white complexion, long legs, and pinched delicacy of -face, prepared many sarcasms in which these points of appearance were -wittily combined with the lowest moral attributes. - -Why, Tom, _you_ dont wear such gentlemanly trousersyou havent got -half such fine long legs, said Jonah to his nephew, winking at the -same time, to imply that there was something more in these statements -than their undeniableness. Tom looked at his legs, but left it -uncertain whether he preferred his moral advantages to a more vicious -length of limb and reprehensible gentility of trouser. - -In the large wainscoted parlor too there were constantly pairs of eyes -on the watch, and own relatives eager to be sitters-up. Many came, -lunched, and departed, but Brother Solomon and the lady who had been -Jane Featherstone for twenty-five years before she was Mrs. Waule found -it good to be there every day for hours, without other calculable -occupation than that of observing the cunning Mary Garth (who was so -deep that she could be found out in nothing) and giving occasional dry -wrinkly indications of cryingas if capable of torrents in a wetter -seasonat the thought that they were not allowed to go into Mr. -Featherstones room. For the old mans dislike of his own family seemed -to get stronger as he got less able to amuse himself by saying biting -things to them. Too languid to sting, he had the more venom refluent in -his blood. - -Not fully believing the message sent through Mary Garth, they had -presented themselves together within the door of the bedroom, both in -blackMrs. Waule having a white handkerchief partially unfolded in her -handand both with faces in a sort of half-mourning purple; while Mrs. -Vincy with her pink cheeks and pink ribbons flying was actually -administering a cordial to their own brother, and the -light-complexioned Fred, his short hair curling as might be expected in -a gamblers, was lolling at his ease in a large chair. - -Old Featherstone no sooner caught sight of these funereal figures -appearing in spite of his orders than rage came to strengthen him more -successfully than the cordial. He was propped up on a bed-rest, and -always had his gold-headed stick lying by him. He seized it now and -swept it backwards and forwards in as large an area as he could, -apparently to ban these ugly spectres, crying in a hoarse sort of -screech - -Back, back, Mrs. Waule! Back, Solomon! - -Oh, Brother. Peter, Mrs. Waule beganbut Solomon put his hand before -her repressingly. He was a large-cheeked man, nearly seventy, with -small furtive eyes, and was not only of much blander temper but thought -himself much deeper than his brother Peter; indeed not likely to be -deceived in any of his fellow-men, inasmuch as they could not well be -more greedy and deceitful than he suspected them of being. Even the -invisible powers, he thought, were likely to be soothed by a bland -parenthesis here and therecoming from a man of property, who might -have been as impious as others. - -Brother Peter, he said, in a wheedling yet gravely official tone, -Its nothing but right I should speak to you about the Three Crofts -and the Manganese. The Almighty knows what Ive got on my mind - -Then he knows more than I want to know, said Peter, laying down his -stick with a show of truce which had a threat in it too, for he -reversed the stick so as to make the gold handle a club in case of -closer fighting, and looked hard at Solomons bald head. - -Theres things you might repent of, Brother, for want of speaking to -me, said Solomon, not advancing, however. I could sit up with you -to-night, and Jane with me, willingly, and you might take your own time -to speak, or let me speak. - -Yes, I shall take my own timeyou neednt offer me yours, said Peter. - -But you cant take your own time to die in, Brother, began Mrs. -Waule, with her usual woolly tone. And when you lie speechless you may -be tired of having strangers about you, and you may think of me and my -childrenbut here her voice broke under the touching thought which she -was attributing to her speechless brother; the mention of ourselves -being naturally affecting. - -No, I shant, said old Featherstone, contradictiously. I shant -think of any of you. Ive made my will, I tell you, Ive made my will. -Here he turned his head towards Mrs. Vincy, and swallowed some more of -his cordial. - -Some people would be ashamed to fill up a place belonging by rights to -others, said Mrs. Waule, turning her narrow eyes in the same -direction. - -Oh, sister, said Solomon, with ironical softness, you and me are not -fine, and handsome, and clever enough: we must be humble and let smart -people push themselves before us. - -Freds spirit could not bear this: rising and looking at Mr. -Featherstone, he said, Shall my mother and I leave the room, sir, that -you may be alone with your friends? - -Sit down, I tell you, said old Featherstone, snappishly. Stop where -you are. Good-by, Solomon, he added, trying to wield his stick again, -but failing now that he had reversed the handle. Good-by, Mrs. Waule. -Dont you come again. - -I shall be down-stairs, Brother, whether or no, said Solomon. I -shall do my duty, and it remains to be seen what the Almighty will -allow. - -Yes, in property going out of families, said Mrs. Waule, in -continuation,and where theres steady young men to carry on. But I -pity them who are not such, and I pity their mothers. Good-by, Brother -Peter. - -Remember, Im the eldest after you, Brother, and prospered from the -first, just as you did, and have got land already by the name of -Featherstone, said Solomon, relying much on that reflection, as one -which might be suggested in the watches of the night. But I bid you -good-by for the present. - -Their exit was hastened by their seeing old Mr. Featherstone pull his -wig on each side and shut his eyes with his mouth-widening grimace, as -if he were determined to be deaf and blind. - -None the less they came to Stone Court daily and sat below at the post -of duty, sometimes carrying on a slow dialogue in an undertone in which -the observation and response were so far apart, that any one hearing -them might have imagined himself listening to speaking automata, in -some doubt whether the ingenious mechanism would really work, or wind -itself up for a long time in order to stick and be silent. Solomon and -Jane would have been sorry to be quick: what that led to might be seen -on the other side of the wall in the person of Brother Jonah. - -But their watch in the wainscoted parlor was sometimes varied by the -presence of other guests from far or near. Now that Peter Featherstone -was up-stairs, his property could be discussed with all that local -enlightenment to be found on the spot: some rural and Middlemarch -neighbors expressed much agreement with the family and sympathy with -their interest against the Vincys, and feminine visitors were even -moved to tears, in conversation with Mrs. Waule, when they recalled the -fact that they themselves had been disappointed in times past by -codicils and marriages for spite on the part of ungrateful elderly -gentlemen, who, it might have been supposed, had been spared for -something better. Such conversation paused suddenly, like an organ when -the bellows are let drop, if Mary Garth came into the room; and all -eyes were turned on her as a possible legatee, or one who might get -access to iron chests. - -But the younger men who were relatives or connections of the family, -were disposed to admire her in this problematic light, as a girl who -showed much conduct, and who among all the chances that were flying -might turn out to be at least a moderate prize. Hence she had her share -of compliments and polite attentions. - -Especially from Mr. Borthrop Trumbull, a distinguished bachelor and -auctioneer of those parts, much concerned in the sale of land and -cattle: a public character, indeed, whose name was seen on widely -distributed placards, and who might reasonably be sorry for those who -did not know of him. He was second cousin to Peter Featherstone, and -had been treated by him with more amenity than any other relative, -being useful in matters of business; and in that programme of his -funeral which the old man had himself dictated, he had been named as a -Bearer. There was no odious cupidity in Mr. Borthrop Trumbullnothing -more than a sincere sense of his own merit, which, he was aware, in -case of rivalry might tell against competitors; so that if Peter -Featherstone, who so far as he, Trumbull, was concerned, had behaved -like as good a soul as ever breathed, should have done anything -handsome by him, all he could say was, that he had never fished and -fawned, but had advised him to the best of his experience, which now -extended over twenty years from the time of his apprenticeship at -fifteen, and was likely to yield a knowledge of no surreptitious kind. -His admiration was far from being confined to himself, but was -accustomed professionally as well as privately to delight in estimating -things at a high rate. He was an amateur of superior phrases, and never -used poor language without immediately correcting himselfwhich was -fortunate, as he was rather loud, and given to predominate, standing or -walking about frequently, pulling down his waistcoat with the air of a -man who is very much of his own opinion, trimming himself rapidly with -his fore-finger, and marking each new series in these movements by a -busy play with his large seals. There was occasionally a little -fierceness in his demeanor, but it was directed chiefly against false -opinion, of which there is so much to correct in the world that a man -of some reading and experience necessarily has his patience tried. He -felt that the Featherstone family generally was of limited -understanding, but being a man of the world and a public character, -took everything as a matter of course, and even went to converse with -Mr. Jonah and young Cranch in the kitchen, not doubting that he had -impressed the latter greatly by his leading questions concerning the -Chalky Flats. If anybody had observed that Mr. Borthrop Trumbull, being -an auctioneer, was bound to know the nature of everything, he would -have smiled and trimmed himself silently with the sense that he came -pretty near that. On the whole, in an auctioneering way, he was an -honorable man, not ashamed of his business, and feeling that the -celebrated Peel, now Sir Robert, if introduced to him, would not fail -to recognize his importance. - -I dont mind if I have a slice of that ham, and a glass of that ale, -Miss Garth, if you will allow me, he said, coming into the parlor at -half-past eleven, after having had the exceptional privilege of seeing -old Featherstone, and standing with his back to the fire between Mrs. -Waule and Solomon. - -Its not necessary for you to go out;let me ring the bell. - -Thank you, said Mary, I have an errand. - -Well, Mr. Trumbull, youre highly favored, said Mrs. Waule. - -What! seeing the old man? said the auctioneer, playing with his seals -dispassionately. Ah, you see he has relied on me considerably. Here -he pressed his lips together, and frowned meditatively. - -Might anybody ask what their brother has been saying? said Solomon, -in a soft tone of humility, in which he had a sense of luxurious -cunning, he being a rich man and not in need of it. - -Oh yes, anybody may ask, said Mr. Trumbull, with loud and -good-humored though cutting sarcasm. Anybody may interrogate. Any one -may give their remarks an interrogative turn, he continued, his -sonorousness rising with his style. This is constantly done by good -speakers, even when they anticipate no answer. It is what we call a -figure of speechspeech at a high figure, as one may say. The eloquent -auctioneer smiled at his own ingenuity. - -I shouldnt be sorry to hear hed remembered you, Mr. Trumbull, said -Solomon. I never was against the deserving. Its the undeserving Im -against. - -Ah, there it is, you see, there it is, said Mr. Trumbull, -significantly. It cant be denied that undeserving people have been -legatees, and even residuary legatees. It is so, with testamentary -dispositions. Again he pursed up his lips and frowned a little. - -Do you mean to say for certain, Mr. Trumbull, that my brother has left -his land away from our family? said Mrs. Waule, on whom, as an -unhopeful woman, those long words had a depressing effect. - -A man might as well turn his land into charity land at once as leave -it to some people, observed Solomon, his sisters question having -drawn no answer. - -What, Blue-Coat land? said Mrs. Waule, again. Oh, Mr. Trumbull, you -never can mean to say that. It would be flying in the face of the -Almighty thats prospered him. - -While Mrs. Waule was speaking, Mr. Borthrop Trumbull walked away from -the fireplace towards the window, patrolling with his fore-finger round -the inside of his stock, then along his whiskers and the curves of his -hair. He now walked to Miss Garths work-table, opened a book which lay -there and read the title aloud with pompous emphasis as if he were -offering it for sale: - -Anne of Geierstein (pronounced Jeersteen) or the Maiden of the -Mist, by the author of Waverley. Then turning the page, he began -sonorouslyThe course of four centuries has well-nigh elapsed since -the series of events which are related in the following chapters took -place on the Continent. He pronounced the last truly admirable word -with the accent on the last syllable, not as unaware of vulgar usage, -but feeling that this novel delivery enhanced the sonorous beauty which -his reading had given to the whole. - -And now the servant came in with the tray, so that the moments for -answering Mrs. Waules question had gone by safely, while she and -Solomon, watching Mr. Trumbulls movements, were thinking that high -learning interfered sadly with serious affairs. Mr. Borthrop Trumbull -really knew nothing about old Featherstones will; but he could hardly -have been brought to declare any ignorance unless he had been arrested -for misprision of treason. - -I shall take a mere mouthful of ham and a glass of ale, he said, -reassuringly. As a man with public business, I take a snack when I -can. I will back this ham, he added, after swallowing some morsels -with alarming haste, against any ham in the three kingdoms. In my -opinion it is better than the hams at Freshitt Halland I think I am a -tolerable judge. - -Some dont like so much sugar in their hams, said Mrs. Waule. But my -poor brother would always have sugar. - -If any person demands better, he is at liberty to do so; but, God -bless me, what an aroma! I should be glad to buy in that quality, I -know. There is some gratification to a gentlemanhere Mr. Trumbulls -voice conveyed an emotional remonstrancein having this kind of ham -set on his table. - -He pushed aside his plate, poured out his glass of ale and drew his -chair a little forward, profiting by the occasion to look at the inner -side of his legs, which he stroked approvinglyMr. Trumbull having all -those less frivolous airs and gestures which distinguish the -predominant races of the north. - -You have an interesting work there, I see, Miss Garth, he observed, -when Mary re-entered. It is by the author of Waverley: that is Sir -Walter Scott. I have bought one of his works myselfa very nice thing, -a very superior publication, entitled Ivanhoe. You will not get any -writer to beat him in a hurry, I thinkhe will not, in my opinion, be -speedily surpassed. I have just been reading a portion at the -commencement of Anne of Jeersteen. It commences well. (Things never -began with Mr. Borthrop Trumbull: they always commenced, both in -private life and on his handbills.) You are a reader, I see. Do you -subscribe to our Middlemarch library? - -No, said Mary. Mr. Fred Vincy brought this book. - -I am a great bookman myself, returned Mr. Trumbull. I have no less -than two hundred volumes in calf, and I flatter myself they are well -selected. Also pictures by Murillo, Rubens, Teniers, Titian, Vandyck, -and others. I shall be happy to lend you any work you like to mention, -Miss Garth. - -I am much obliged, said Mary, hastening away again, but I have -little time for reading. - -I should say my brother has done something for _her_ in his will, -said Mr. Solomon, in a very low undertone, when she had shut the door -behind her, pointing with his head towards the absent Mary. - -His first wife was a poor match for him, though, said Mrs. Waule. -She brought him nothing: and this young woman is only her niece,and -very proud. And my brother has always paid her wage. - -A sensible girl though, in my opinion, said Mr. Trumbull, finishing -his ale and starting up with an emphatic adjustment of his waistcoat. -I have observed her when she has been mixing medicine in drops. She -minds what she is doing, sir. That is a great point in a woman, and a -great point for our friend up-stairs, poor dear old soul. A man whose -life is of any value should think of his wife as a nurse: that is what -I should do, if I married; and I believe I have lived single long -enough not to make a mistake in that line. Some men must marry to -elevate themselves a little, but when I am in need of that, I hope some -one will tell me soI hope some individual will apprise me of the fact. -I wish you good morning, Mrs. Waule. Good morning, Mr. Solomon. I trust -we shall meet under less melancholy auspices. - -When Mr. Trumbull had departed with a fine bow, Solomon, leaning -forward, observed to his sister, You may depend, Jane, my brother has -left that girl a lumping sum. - -Anybody would think so, from the way Mr. Trumbull talks, said Jane. -Then, after a pause, He talks as if my daughters wasnt to be trusted -to give drops. - -Auctioneers talk wild, said Solomon. Not but what Trumbull has made -money. - - - - -CHAPTER XXXIII. - -Close up his eyes and draw the curtain close; -And let us all to meditation. -2 _Henry VI_. - - -That night after twelve oclock Mary Garth relieved the watch in Mr. -Featherstones room, and sat there alone through the small hours. She -often chose this task, in which she found some pleasure, -notwithstanding the old mans testiness whenever he demanded her -attentions. There were intervals in which she could sit perfectly -still, enjoying the outer stillness and the subdued light. The red fire -with its gently audible movement seemed like a solemn existence calmly -independent of the petty passions, the imbecile desires, the straining -after worthless uncertainties, which were daily moving her contempt. -Mary was fond of her own thoughts, and could amuse herself well sitting -in twilight with her hands in her lap; for, having early had strong -reason to believe that things were not likely to be arranged for her -peculiar satisfaction, she wasted no time in astonishment and annoyance -at that fact. And she had already come to take life very much as a -comedy in which she had a proud, nay, a generous resolution not to act -the mean or treacherous part. Mary might have become cynical if she had -not had parents whom she honored, and a well of affectionate gratitude -within her, which was all the fuller because she had learned to make no -unreasonable claims. - -She sat to-night revolving, as she was wont, the scenes of the day, her -lips often curling with amusement at the oddities to which her fancy -added fresh drollery: people were so ridiculous with their illusions, -carrying their fools caps unawares, thinking their own lies opaque -while everybody elses were transparent, making themselves exceptions -to everything, as if when all the world looked yellow under a lamp they -alone were rosy. Yet there were some illusions under Marys eyes which -were not quite comic to her. She was secretly convinced, though she had -no other grounds than her close observation of old Featherstones -nature, that in spite of his fondness for having the Vincys about him, -they were as likely to be disappointed as any of the relations whom he -kept at a distance. She had a good deal of disdain for Mrs. Vincys -evident alarm lest she and Fred should be alone together, but it did -not hinder her from thinking anxiously of the way in which Fred would -be affected, if it should turn out that his uncle had left him as poor -as ever. She could make a butt of Fred when he was present, but she did -not enjoy his follies when he was absent. - -Yet she liked her thoughts: a vigorous young mind not overbalanced by -passion, finds a good in making acquaintance with life, and watches its -own powers with interest. Mary had plenty of merriment within. - -Her thought was not veined by any solemnity or pathos about the old man -on the bed: such sentiments are easier to affect than to feel about an -aged creature whose life is not visibly anything but a remnant of -vices. She had always seen the most disagreeable side of Mr. -Featherstone: he was not proud of her, and she was only useful to him. -To be anxious about a soul that is always snapping at you must be left -to the saints of the earth; and Mary was not one of them. She had never -returned him a harsh word, and had waited on him faithfully: that was -her utmost. Old Featherstone himself was not in the least anxious about -his soul, and had declined to see Mr. Tucker on the subject. - -To-night he had not snapped, and for the first hour or two he lay -remarkably still, until at last Mary heard him rattling his bunch of -keys against the tin box which he always kept in the bed beside him. -About three oclock he said, with remarkable distinctness, Missy, come -here! - -Mary obeyed, and found that he had already drawn the tin box from under -the clothes, though he usually asked to have this done for him; and he -had selected the key. He now unlocked the box, and, drawing from it -another key, looked straight at her with eyes that seemed to have -recovered all their sharpness and said, How many of em are in the -house? - -You mean of your own relations, sir, said Mary, well used to the old -mans way of speech. He nodded slightly and she went on. - -Mr. Jonah Featherstone and young Cranch are sleeping here. - -Oh ay, they stick, do they? and the restthey come every day, Ill -warrantSolomon and Jane, and all the young uns? They come peeping, and -counting and casting up? - -Not all of them every day. Mr. Solomon and Mrs. Waule are here every -day, and the others come often. - -The old man listened with a grimace while she spoke, and then said, -relaxing his face, The more fools they. You hearken, missy. Its three -oclock in the morning, and Ive got all my faculties as well as ever I -had in my life. I know all my property, and where the moneys put out, -and everything. And Ive made everything ready to change my mind, and -do as I like at the last. Do you hear, missy? Ive got my faculties. - -Well, sir? said Mary, quietly. - -He now lowered his tone with an air of deeper cunning. Ive made two -wills, and Im going to burn one. Now you do as I tell you. This is the -key of my iron chest, in the closet there. You push well at the side of -the brass plate at the top, till it goes like a bolt: then you can put -the key in the front lock and turn it. See and do that; and take out -the topmost paperLast Will and Testamentbig printed. - -No, sir, said Mary, in a firm voice, I cannot do that. - -Not do it? I tell you, you must, said the old man, his voice -beginning to shake under the shock of this resistance. - -I cannot touch your iron chest or your will. I must refuse to do -anything that might lay me open to suspicion. - -I tell you, Im in my right mind. Shant I do as I like at the last? I -made two wills on purpose. Take the key, I say. - -No, sir, I will not, said Mary, more resolutely still. Her repulsion -was getting stronger. - -I tell you, theres no time to lose. - -I cannot help that, sir. I will not let the close of your life soil -the beginning of mine. I will not touch your iron chest or your will. -She moved to a little distance from the bedside. - -The old man paused with a blank stare for a little while, holding the -one key erect on the ring; then with an agitated jerk he began to work -with his bony left hand at emptying the tin box before him. - -Missy, he began to say, hurriedly, look here! take the moneythe -notes and goldlook heretake ityou shall have it alldo as I tell -you. - -He made an effort to stretch out the key towards her as far as -possible, and Mary again retreated. - -I will not touch your key or your money, sir. Pray dont ask me to do -it again. If you do, I must go and call your brother. - -He let his hand fall, and for the first time in her life Mary saw old -Peter Featherstone begin to cry childishly. She said, in as gentle a -tone as she could command, Pray put up your money, sir; and then went -away to her seat by the fire, hoping this would help to convince him -that it was useless to say more. Presently he rallied and said eagerly - -Look here, then. Call the young chap. Call Fred Vincy. - -Marys heart began to beat more quickly. Various ideas rushed through -her mind as to what the burning of a second will might imply. She had -to make a difficult decision in a hurry. - -I will call him, if you will let me call Mr. Jonah and others with -him. - -Nobody else, I say. The young chap. I shall do as I like. -Wait till broad daylight, sir, when every one is stirring. Or let me -call Simmons now, to go and fetch the lawyer? He can be here in less -than two hours. -Lawyer? What do I want with the lawyer? Nobody shall knowI say, -nobody shall know. I shall do as I like. -Let me call some one else, sir, said Mary, persuasively. She did not -like her positionalone with the old man, who seemed to show a strange -flaring of nervous energy which enabled him to speak again and again -without falling into his usual cough; yet she desired not to push -unnecessarily the contradiction which agitated him. Let me, pray, call -some one else. - -You let me alone, I say. Look here, missy. Take the money. Youll -never have the chance again. Its pretty nigh two hundredtheres more -in the box, and nobody knows how much there was. Take it and do as I -tell you. - -Mary, standing by the fire, saw its red light falling on the old man, -propped up on his pillows and bed-rest, with his bony hand holding out -the key, and the money lying on the quilt before him. She never forgot -that vision of a man wanting to do as he liked at the last. But the way -in which he had put the offer of the money urged her to speak with -harder resolution than ever. - -It is of no use, sir. I will not do it. Put up your money. I will not -touch your money. I will do anything else I can to comfort you; but I -will not touch your keys or your money. - -Anything elseanything else! said old Featherstone, with hoarse rage, -which, as if in a nightmare, tried to be loud, and yet was only just -audible. I want nothing else. You come hereyou come here. - -Mary approached him cautiously, knowing him too well. She saw him -dropping his keys and trying to grasp his stick, while he looked at her -like an aged hyena, the muscles of his face getting distorted with the -effort of his hand. She paused at a safe distance. - -Let me give you some cordial, she said, quietly, and try to compose -yourself. You will perhaps go to sleep. And to-morrow by daylight you -can do as you like. - -He lifted the stick, in spite of her being beyond his reach, and threw -it with a hard effort which was but impotence. It fell, slipping over -the foot of the bed. Mary let it lie, and retreated to her chair by the -fire. By-and-by she would go to him with the cordial. Fatigue would -make him passive. It was getting towards the chillest moment of the -morning, the fire had got low, and she could see through the chink -between the moreen window-curtains the light whitened by the blind. -Having put some wood on the fire and thrown a shawl over her, she sat -down, hoping that Mr. Featherstone might now fall asleep. If she went -near him the irritation might be kept up. He had said nothing after -throwing the stick, but she had seen him taking his keys again and -laying his right hand on the money. He did not put it up, however, and -she thought that he was dropping off to sleep. - -But Mary herself began to be more agitated by the remembrance of what -she had gone through, than she had been by the realityquestioning -those acts of hers which had come imperatively and excluded all -question in the critical moment. - -Presently the dry wood sent out a flame which illuminated every -crevice, and Mary saw that the old man was lying quietly with his head -turned a little on one side. She went towards him with inaudible steps, -and thought that his face looked strangely motionless; but the next -moment the movement of the flame communicating itself to all objects -made her uncertain. The violent beating of her heart rendered her -perceptions so doubtful that even when she touched him and listened for -his breathing, she could not trust her conclusions. She went to the -window and gently propped aside the curtain and blind, so that the -still light of the sky fell on the bed. - -The next moment she ran to the bell and rang it energetically. In a -very little while there was no longer any doubt that Peter Featherstone -was dead, with his right hand clasping the keys, and his left hand -lying on the heap of notes and gold. - - - - -BOOK IV. -THREE LOVE PROBLEMS. - - - - -CHAPTER XXXIV. - -1_st Gent_. Such men as this are feathers, chips, and straws, - Carry no weight, no force. - -2_d Gent_. But levity - Is causal too, and makes the sum of weight. - For power finds its place in lack of power; - Advance is cession, and the driven ship - May run aground because the helmsmans thought - Lacked force to balance opposites. - - -It was on a morning of May that Peter Featherstone was buried. In the -prosaic neighborhood of Middlemarch, May was not always warm and sunny, -and on this particular morning a chill wind was blowing the blossoms -from the surrounding gardens on to the green mounds of Lowick -churchyard. Swiftly moving clouds only now and then allowed a gleam to -light up any object, whether ugly or beautiful, that happened to stand -within its golden shower. In the churchyard the objects were remarkably -various, for there was a little country crowd waiting to see the -funeral. The news had spread that it was to be a big burying; the old -gentleman had left written directions about everything and meant to -have a funeral beyond his betters. This was true; for old -Featherstone had not been a Harpagon whose passions had all been -devoured by the ever-lean and ever-hungry passion of saving, and who -would drive a bargain with his undertaker beforehand. He loved money, -but he also loved to spend it in gratifying his peculiar tastes, and -perhaps he loved it best of all as a means of making others feel his -power more or less uncomfortably. If any one will here contend that -there must have been traits of goodness in old Featherstone, I will not -presume to deny this; but I must observe that goodness is of a modest -nature, easily discouraged, and when much privacy, elbowed in early -life by unabashed vices, is apt to retire into extreme privacy, so that -it is more easily believed in by those who construct a selfish old -gentleman theoretically, than by those who form the narrower judgments -based on his personal acquaintance. In any case, he had been bent on -having a handsome funeral, and on having persons bid to it who would -rather have stayed at home. He had even desired that female relatives -should follow him to the grave, and poor sister Martha had taken a -difficult journey for this purpose from the Chalky Flats. She and Jane -would have been altogether cheered (in a tearful manner) by this sign -that a brother who disliked seeing them while he was living had been -prospectively fond of their presence when he should have become a -testator, if the sign had not been made equivocal by being extended to -Mrs. Vincy, whose expense in handsome crape seemed to imply the most -presumptuous hopes, aggravated by a bloom of complexion which told -pretty plainly that she was not a blood-relation, but of that generally -objectionable class called wifes kin. - -We are all of us imaginative in some form or other, for images are the -brood of desire; and poor old Featherstone, who laughed much at the way -in which others cajoled themselves, did not escape the fellowship of -illusion. In writing the programme for his burial he certainly did not -make clear to himself that his pleasure in the little drama of which it -formed a part was confined to anticipation. In chuckling over the -vexations he could inflict by the rigid clutch of his dead hand, he -inevitably mingled his consciousness with that livid stagnant presence, -and so far as he was preoccupied with a future life, it was with one of -gratification inside his coffin. Thus old Featherstone was imaginative, -after his fashion. - -However, the three mourning-coaches were filled according to the -written orders of the deceased. There were pall-bearers on horseback, -with the richest scarfs and hatbands, and even the under-bearers had -trappings of woe which were of a good well-priced quality. The black -procession, when dismounted, looked the larger for the smallness of the -churchyard; the heavy human faces and the black draperies shivering in -the wind seemed to tell of a world strangely incongruous with the -lightly dropping blossoms and the gleams of sunshine on the daisies. -The clergyman who met the procession was Mr. Cadwalladeralso according -to the request of Peter Featherstone, prompted as usual by peculiar -reasons. Having a contempt for curates, whom he always called -understrappers, he was resolved to be buried by a beneficed clergyman. -Mr. Casaubon was out of the question, not merely because he declined -duty of this sort, but because Featherstone had an especial dislike to -him as the rector of his own parish, who had a lien on the land in the -shape of tithe, also as the deliverer of morning sermons, which the old -man, being in his pew and not at all sleepy, had been obliged to sit -through with an inward snarl. He had an objection to a parson stuck up -above his head preaching to him. But his relations with Mr. Cadwallader -had been of a different kind: the trout-stream which ran through Mr. -Casaubons land took its course through Featherstones also, so that -Mr. Cadwallader was a parson who had had to ask a favor instead of -preaching. Moreover, he was one of the high gentry living four miles -away from Lowick, and was thus exalted to an equal sky with the sheriff -of the county and other dignities vaguely regarded as necessary to the -system of things. There would be a satisfaction in being buried by Mr. -Cadwallader, whose very name offered a fine opportunity for pronouncing -wrongly if you liked. - -This distinction conferred on the Rector of Tipton and Freshitt was the -reason why Mrs. Cadwallader made one of the group that watched old -Featherstones funeral from an upper window of the manor. She was not -fond of visiting that house, but she liked, as she said, to see -collections of strange animals such as there would be at this funeral; -and she had persuaded Sir James and the young Lady Chettam to drive the -Rector and herself to Lowick in order that the visit might be -altogether pleasant. - -I will go anywhere with you, Mrs. Cadwallader, Celia had said; but I -dont like funerals. - -Oh, my dear, when you have a clergyman in your family you must -accommodate your tastes: I did that very early. When I married Humphrey -I made up my mind to like sermons, and I set out by liking the end very -much. That soon spread to the middle and the beginning, because I -couldnt have the end without them. - -No, to be sure not, said the Dowager Lady Chettam, with stately -emphasis. - -The upper window from which the funeral could be well seen was in the -room occupied by Mr. Casaubon when he had been forbidden to work; but -he had resumed nearly his habitual style of life now in spite of -warnings and prescriptions, and after politely welcoming Mrs. -Cadwallader had slipped again into the library to chew a cud of erudite -mistake about Cush and Mizraim. - -But for her visitors Dorothea too might have been shut up in the -library, and would not have witnessed this scene of old Featherstones -funeral, which, aloof as it seemed to be from the tenor of her life, -always afterwards came back to her at the touch of certain sensitive -points in memory, just as the vision of St. Peters at Rome was inwoven -with moods of despondency. Scenes which make vital changes in our -neighbors lot are but the background of our own, yet, like a -particular aspect of the fields and trees, they become associated for -us with the epochs of our own history, and make a part of that unity -which lies in the selection of our keenest consciousness. - -The dream-like association of something alien and ill-understood with -the deepest secrets of her experience seemed to mirror that sense of -loneliness which was due to the very ardor of Dorotheas nature. The -country gentry of old time lived in a rarefied social air: dotted apart -on their stations up the mountain they looked down with imperfect -discrimination on the belts of thicker life below. And Dorothea was not -at ease in the perspective and chilliness of that height. - -I shall not look any more, said Celia, after the train had entered -the church, placing herself a little behind her husbands elbow so that -she could slyly touch his coat with her cheek. I dare say Dodo likes -it: she is fond of melancholy things and ugly people. - -I am fond of knowing something about the people I live among, said -Dorothea, who had been watching everything with the interest of a monk -on his holiday tour. It seems to me we know nothing of our neighbors, -unless they are cottagers. One is constantly wondering what sort of -lives other people lead, and how they take things. I am quite obliged -to Mrs. Cadwallader for coming and calling me out of the library. - -Quite right to feel obliged to me, said Mrs. Cadwallader. Your rich -Lowick farmers are as curious as any buffaloes or bisons, and I dare -say you dont half see them at church. They are quite different from -your uncles tenants or Sir Jamessmonstersfarmers without -landlordsone cant tell how to class them. - -Most of these followers are not Lowick people, said Sir James; I -suppose they are legatees from a distance, or from Middlemarch. -Lovegood tells me the old fellow has left a good deal of money as well -as land. - -Think of that now! when so many younger sons cant dine at their own -expense, said Mrs. Cadwallader. Ah, turning round at the sound of -the opening door, here is Mr. Brooke. I felt that we were incomplete -before, and here is the explanation. You are come to see this odd -funeral, of course? - -No, I came to look after Casaubonto see how he goes on, you know. And -to bring a little newsa little news, my dear, said Mr. Brooke, -nodding at Dorothea as she came towards him. I looked into the -library, and I saw Casaubon over his books. I told him it wouldnt do: -I said, This will never do, you know: think of your wife, Casaubon. -And he promised me to come up. I didnt tell him my news: I said, he -must come up. - -Ah, now they are coming out of church, Mrs. Cadwallader exclaimed. -Dear me, what a wonderfully mixed set! Mr. Lydgate as doctor, I -suppose. But that is really a good looking woman, and the fair young -man must be her son. Who are they, Sir James, do you know? - -I see Vincy, the Mayor of Middlemarch; they are probably his wife and -son, said Sir James, looking interrogatively at Mr. Brooke, who nodded -and said - -Yes, a very decent familya very good fellow is Vincy; a credit to the -manufacturing interest. You have seen him at my house, you know. - -Ah, yes: one of your secret committee, said Mrs. Cadwallader, -provokingly. - -A coursing fellow, though, said Sir James, with a fox-hunters -disgust. - -And one of those who suck the life out of the wretched handloom -weavers in Tipton and Freshitt. That is how his family look so fair and -sleek, said Mrs. Cadwallader. Those dark, purple-faced people are an -excellent foil. Dear me, they are like a set of jugs! Do look at -Humphrey: one might fancy him an ugly archangel towering above them in -his white surplice. - -Its a solemn thing, though, a funeral, said Mr. Brooke, if you take -it in that light, you know. - -But I am not taking it in that light. I cant wear my solemnity too -often, else it will go to rags. It was time the old man died, and none -of these people are sorry. - -How piteous! said Dorothea. This funeral seems to me the most dismal -thing I ever saw. It is a blot on the morning. I cannot bear to think -that any one should die and leave no love behind. - -She was going to say more, but she saw her husband enter and seat -himself a little in the background. The difference his presence made to -her was not always a happy one: she felt that he often inwardly -objected to her speech. - -Positively, exclaimed Mrs. Cadwallader, there is a new face come out -from behind that broad man queerer than any of them: a little round -head with bulging eyesa sort of frog-facedo look. He must be of -another blood, I think. - -Let me see! said Celia, with awakened curiosity, standing behind Mrs. -Cadwallader and leaning forward over her head. Oh, what an odd face! -Then with a quick change to another sort of surprised expression, she -added, Why, Dodo, you never told me that Mr. Ladislaw was come again! - -Dorothea felt a shock of alarm: every one noticed her sudden paleness -as she looked up immediately at her uncle, while Mr. Casaubon looked at -her. - -He came with me, you know; he is my guestputs up with me at the -Grange, said Mr. Brooke, in his easiest tone, nodding at Dorothea, as -if the announcement were just what she might have expected. And we -have brought the picture at the top of the carriage. I knew you would -be pleased with the surprise, Casaubon. There you are to the very -lifeas Aquinas, you know. Quite the right sort of thing. And you will -hear young Ladislaw talk about it. He talks uncommonly wellpoints out -this, that, and the otherknows art and everything of that -kindcompanionable, you knowis up with you in any trackwhat Ive been -wanting a long while. - -Mr. Casaubon bowed with cold politeness, mastering his irritation, but -only so far as to be silent. He remembered Wills letter quite as well -as Dorothea did; he had noticed that it was not among the letters which -had been reserved for him on his recovery, and secretly concluding that -Dorothea had sent word to Will not to come to Lowick, he had shrunk -with proud sensitiveness from ever recurring to the subject. He now -inferred that she had asked her uncle to invite Will to the Grange; and -she felt it impossible at that moment to enter into any explanation. - -Mrs. Cadwalladers eyes, diverted from the churchyard, saw a good deal -of dumb show which was not so intelligible to her as she could have -desired, and could not repress the question, Who is Mr. Ladislaw? - -A young relative of Mr. Casaubons, said Sir James, promptly. His -good-nature often made him quick and clear-seeing in personal matters, -and he had divined from Dorotheas glance at her husband that there was -some alarm in her mind. - -A very nice young fellowCasaubon has done everything for him, -explained Mr. Brooke. He repays your expense in him, Casaubon, he -went on, nodding encouragingly. I hope he will stay with me a long -while and we shall make something of my documents. I have plenty of -ideas and facts, you know, and I can see he is just the man to put them -into shaperemembers what the right quotations are, _omne tulit -punctum_, and that sort of thinggives subjects a kind of turn. I -invited him some time ago when you were ill, Casaubon; Dorothea said -you couldnt have anybody in the house, you know, and she asked me to -write. - -Poor Dorothea felt that every word of her uncles was about as pleasant -as a grain of sand in the eye to Mr. Casaubon. It would be altogether -unfitting now to explain that she had not wished her uncle to invite -Will Ladislaw. She could not in the least make clear to herself the -reasons for her husbands dislike to his presencea dislike painfully -impressed on her by the scene in the library; but she felt the -unbecomingness of saying anything that might convey a notion of it to -others. Mr. Casaubon, indeed, had not thoroughly represented those -mixed reasons to himself; irritated feeling with him, as with all of -us, seeking rather for justification than for self-knowledge. But he -wished to repress outward signs, and only Dorothea could discern the -changes in her husbands face before he observed with more of dignified -bending and sing-song than usual - -You are exceedingly hospitable, my dear sir; and I owe you -acknowledgments for exercising your hospitality towards a relative of -mine. - -The funeral was ended now, and the churchyard was being cleared. - -Now you can see him, Mrs. Cadwallader, said Celia. He is just like a -miniature of Mr. Casaubons aunt that hangs in Dorotheas boudoirquite -nice-looking. - -A very pretty sprig, said Mrs. Cadwallader, dryly. What is your -nephew to be, Mr. Casaubon? - -Pardon me, he is not my nephew. He is my cousin. - -Well, you know, interposed Mr. Brooke, he is trying his wings. He is -just the sort of young fellow to rise. I should be glad to give him an -opportunity. He would make a good secretary, now, like Hobbes, Milton, -Swiftthat sort of man. - -I understand, said Mrs. Cadwallader. One who can write speeches. - -Ill fetch him in now, eh, Casaubon? said Mr. Brooke. He wouldnt -come in till I had announced him, you know. And well go down and look -at the picture. There you are to the life: a deep subtle sort of -thinker with his fore-finger on the page, while Saint Bonaventure or -somebody else, rather fat and florid, is looking up at the Trinity. -Everything is symbolical, you knowthe higher style of art: I like that -up to a certain point, but not too farits rather straining to keep up -with, you know. But you are at home in that, Casaubon. And your -painters flesh is goodsolidity, transparency, everything of that -sort. I went into that a great deal at one time. However, Ill go and -fetch Ladislaw. - - - - -CHAPTER XXXV. - -Non, je ne comprends pas de plus charmant plaisir -Que de voir dhritiers une troupe afflige -Le maintien interdit, et la mine allonge, -Lire un long testament o pales, tonns -On leur laisse un bonsoir avec un pied de nez. -Pour voir au naturel leur tristesse profonde -Je reviendrais, je crois, exprs de lautre monde. -REGNARD: _Le Lgataire Universel_. - - -When the animals entered the Ark in pairs, one may imagine that allied -species made much private remark on each other, and were tempted to -think that so many forms feeding on the same store of fodder were -eminently superfluous, as tending to diminish the rations. (I fear the -part played by the vultures on that occasion would be too painful for -art to represent, those birds being disadvantageously naked about the -gullet, and apparently without rites and ceremonies.) - -The same sort of temptation befell the Christian Carnivora who formed -Peter Featherstones funeral procession; most of them having their -minds bent on a limited store which each would have liked to get the -most of. The long-recognized blood-relations and connections by -marriage made already a goodly number, which, multiplied by -possibilities, presented a fine range for jealous conjecture and -pathetic hopefulness. Jealousy of the Vincys had created a fellowship -in hostility among all persons of the Featherstone blood, so that in -the absence of any decided indication that one of themselves was to -have more than the rest, the dread lest that long-legged Fred Vincy -should have the land was necessarily dominant, though it left abundant -feeling and leisure for vaguer jealousies, such as were entertained -towards Mary Garth. Solomon found time to reflect that Jonah was -undeserving, and Jonah to abuse Solomon as greedy; Jane, the elder -sister, held that Marthas children ought not to expect so much as the -young Waules; and Martha, more lax on the subject of primogeniture, was -sorry to think that Jane was so having. These nearest of kin were -naturally impressed with the unreasonableness of expectations in -cousins and second cousins, and used their arithmetic in reckoning the -large sums that small legacies might mount to, if there were too many -of them. Two cousins were present to hear the will, and a second cousin -besides Mr. Trumbull. This second cousin was a Middlemarch mercer of -polite manners and superfluous aspirates. The two cousins were elderly -men from Brassing, one of them conscious of claims on the score of -inconvenient expense sustained by him in presents of oysters and other -eatables to his rich cousin Peter; the other entirely saturnine, -leaning his hands and chin on a stick, and conscious of claims based on -no narrow performance but on merit generally: both blameless citizens -of Brassing, who wished that Jonah Featherstone did not live there. The -wit of a family is usually best received among strangers. - -Why, Trumbull himself is pretty sure of five hundred_that_ you may -depend,I shouldnt wonder if my brother promised him, said Solomon, -musing aloud with his sisters, the evening before the funeral. - -Dear, dear! said poor sister Martha, whose imagination of hundreds -had been habitually narrowed to the amount of her unpaid rent. - -But in the morning all the ordinary currents of conjecture were -disturbed by the presence of a strange mourner who had plashed among -them as if from the moon. This was the stranger described by Mrs. -Cadwallader as frog-faced: a man perhaps about two or three and thirty, -whose prominent eyes, thin-lipped, downward-curved mouth, and hair -sleekly brushed away from a forehead that sank suddenly above the ridge -of the eyebrows, certainly gave his face a batrachian unchangeableness -of expression. Here, clearly, was a new legatee; else why was he bidden -as a mourner? Here were new possibilities, raising a new uncertainty, -which almost checked remark in the mourning-coaches. We are all -humiliated by the sudden discovery of a fact which has existed very -comfortably and perhaps been staring at us in private while we have -been making up our world entirely without it. No one had seen this -questionable stranger before except Mary Garth, and she knew nothing -more of him than that he had twice been to Stone Court when Mr. -Featherstone was down-stairs, and had sat alone with him for several -hours. She had found an opportunity of mentioning this to her father, -and perhaps Calebs were the only eyes, except the lawyers, which -examined the stranger with more of inquiry than of disgust or -suspicion. Caleb Garth, having little expectation and less cupidity, -was interested in the verification of his own guesses, and the calmness -with which he half smilingly rubbed his chin and shot intelligent -glances much as if he were valuing a tree, made a fine contrast with -the alarm or scorn visible in other faces when the unknown mourner, -whose name was understood to be Rigg, entered the wainscoted parlor and -took his seat near the door to make part of the audience when the will -should be read. Just then Mr. Solomon and Mr. Jonah were gone up-stairs -with the lawyer to search for the will; and Mrs. Waule, seeing two -vacant seats between herself and Mr. Borthrop Trumbull, had the spirit -to move next to that great authority, who was handling his watch-seals -and trimming his outlines with a determination not to show anything so -compromising to a man of ability as wonder or surprise. - -I suppose you know everything about what my poor brothers done, Mr. -Trumbull, said Mrs. Waule, in the lowest of her woolly tones, while -she turned her crape-shadowed bonnet towards Mr. Trumbulls ear. - -My good lady, whatever was told me was told in confidence, said the -auctioneer, putting his hand up to screen that secret. - -Them whove made sure of their good-luck may be disappointed yet, -Mrs. Waule continued, finding some relief in this communication. - -Hopes are often delusive, said Mr. Trumbull, still in confidence. - -Ah! said Mrs. Waule, looking across at the Vincys, and then moving -back to the side of her sister Martha. - -Its wonderful how close poor Peter was, she said, in the same -undertones. We none of us know what he might have had on his mind. I -only hope and trust he wasnt a worse liver than we think of, Martha. - -Poor Mrs. Cranch was bulky, and, breathing asthmatically, had the -additional motive for making her remarks unexceptionable and giving -them a general bearing, that even her whispers were loud and liable to -sudden bursts like those of a deranged barrel-organ. - -I never _was_ covetous, Jane, she replied; but I have six children -and have buried three, and I didnt marry into money. The eldest, that -sits there, is but nineteenso I leave you to guess. And stock always -short, and land most awkward. But if ever Ive begged and prayed; its -been to God above; though where theres one brother a bachelor and the -other childless after twice marryinganybody might think! - -Meanwhile, Mr. Vincy had glanced at the passive face of Mr. Rigg, and -had taken out his snuff-box and tapped it, but had put it again -unopened as an indulgence which, however clarifying to the judgment, -was unsuited to the occasion. I shouldnt wonder if Featherstone had -better feelings than any of us gave him credit for, he observed, in -the ear of his wife. This funeral shows a thought about everybody: it -looks well when a man wants to be followed by his friends, and if they -are humble, not to be ashamed of them. I should be all the better -pleased if hed left lots of small legacies. They may be uncommonly -useful to fellows in a small way. - -Everything is as handsome as could be, crape and silk and everything, -said Mrs. Vincy, contentedly. - -But I am sorry to say that Fred was under some difficulty in repressing -a laugh, which would have been more unsuitable than his fathers -snuff-box. Fred had overheard Mr. Jonah suggesting something about a -love-child, and with this thought in his mind, the strangers face, -which happened to be opposite him, affected him too ludicrously. Mary -Garth, discerning his distress in the twitchings of his mouth, and his -recourse to a cough, came cleverly to his rescue by asking him to -change seats with her, so that he got into a shadowy corner. Fred was -feeling as good-naturedly as possible towards everybody, including -Rigg; and having some relenting towards all these people who were less -lucky than he was aware of being himself, he would not for the world -have behaved amiss; still, it was particularly easy to laugh. - -But the entrance of the lawyer and the two brothers drew every ones -attention. The lawyer was Mr. Standish, and he had come to Stone Court -this morning believing that he knew thoroughly well who would be -pleased and who disappointed before the day was over. The will he -expected to read was the last of three which he had drawn up for Mr. -Featherstone. Mr. Standish was not a man who varied his manners: he -behaved with the same deep-voiced, off-hand civility to everybody, as -if he saw no difference in them, and talked chiefly of the hay-crop, -which would be very fine, by God! of the last bulletins concerning -the King, and of the Duke of Clarence, who was a sailor every inch of -him, and just the man to rule over an island like Britain. - -Old Featherstone had often reflected as he sat looking at the fire that -Standish would be surprised some day: it is true that if he had done as -he liked at the last, and burnt the will drawn up by another lawyer, he -would not have secured that minor end; still he had had his pleasure in -ruminating on it. And certainly Mr. Standish was surprised, but not at -all sorry; on the contrary, he rather enjoyed the zest of a little -curiosity in his own mind, which the discovery of a second will added -to the prospective amazement on the part of the Featherstone family. - -As to the sentiments of Solomon and Jonah, they were held in utter -suspense: it seemed to them that the old will would have a certain -validity, and that there might be such an interlacement of poor Peters -former and latter intentions as to create endless lawing before -anybody came by their ownan inconvenience which would have at least -the advantage of going all round. Hence the brothers showed a -thoroughly neutral gravity as they re-entered with Mr. Standish; but -Solomon took out his white handkerchief again with a sense that in any -case there would be affecting passages, and crying at funerals, however -dry, was customarily served up in lawn. - -Perhaps the person who felt the most throbbing excitement at this -moment was Mary Garth, in the consciousness that it was she who had -virtually determined the production of this second will, which might -have momentous effects on the lot of some persons present. No soul -except herself knew what had passed on that final night. - -The will I hold in my hand, said Mr. Standish, who, seated at the -table in the middle of the room, took his time about everything, -including the coughs with which he showed a disposition to clear his -voice, was drawn up by myself and executed by our deceased friend on -the 9th of August, 1825. But I find that there is a subsequent -instrument hitherto unknown to me, bearing date the 20th of July, 1826, -hardly a year later than the previous one. And there is farther, I -seeMr. Standish was cautiously travelling over the document with his -spectaclesa codicil to this latter will, bearing date March 1, 1828. - -Dear, dear! said sister Martha, not meaning to be audible, but driven -to some articulation under this pressure of dates. - -I shall begin by reading the earlier will, continued Mr. Standish, -since such, as appears by his not having destroyed the document, was -the intention of the deceased. - -The preamble was felt to be rather long, and several besides Solomon -shook their heads pathetically, looking on the ground: all eyes avoided -meeting other eyes, and were chiefly fixed either on the spots in the -table-cloth or on Mr. Standishs bald head; excepting Mary Garths. -When all the rest were trying to look nowhere in particular, it was -safe for her to look at them. And at the sound of the first give and -bequeath she could see all complexions changing subtly, as if some -faint vibration were passing through them, save that of Mr. Rigg. He -sat in unaltered calm, and, in fact, the company, preoccupied with more -important problems, and with the complication of listening to bequests -which might or might not be revoked, had ceased to think of him. Fred -blushed, and Mr. Vincy found it impossible to do without his snuff-box -in his hand, though he kept it closed. - -The small bequests came first, and even the recollection that there was -another will and that poor Peter might have thought better of it, could -not quell the rising disgust and indignation. One likes to be done well -by in every tense, past, present, and future. And here was Peter -capable five years ago of leaving only two hundred apiece to his own -brothers and sisters, and only a hundred apiece to his own nephews and -nieces: the Garths were not mentioned, but Mrs. Vincy and Rosamond were -each to have a hundred. Mr. Trumbull was to have the gold-headed cane -and fifty pounds; the other second cousins and the cousins present were -each to have the like handsome sum, which, as the saturnine cousin -observed, was a sort of legacy that left a man nowhere; and there was -much more of such offensive dribbling in favor of persons not -presentproblematical, and, it was to be feared, low connections. -Altogether, reckoning hastily, here were about three thousand disposed -of. Where then had Peter meant the rest of the money to goand where -the land? and what was revoked and what not revokedand was the -revocation for better or for worse? All emotion must be conditional, -and might turn out to be the wrong thing. The men were strong enough to -bear up and keep quiet under this confused suspense; some letting their -lower lip fall, others pursing it up, according to the habit of their -muscles. But Jane and Martha sank under the rush of questions, and -began to cry; poor Mrs. Cranch being half moved with the consolation of -getting any hundreds at all without working for them, and half aware -that her share was scanty; whereas Mrs. Waules mind was entirely -flooded with the sense of being an own sister and getting little, while -somebody else was to have much. The general expectation now was that -the much would fall to Fred Vincy, but the Vincys themselves were -surprised when ten thousand pounds in specified investments were -declared to be bequeathed to him:was the land coming too? Fred bit his -lips: it was difficult to help smiling, and Mrs. Vincy felt herself the -happiest of womenpossible revocation shrinking out of sight in this -dazzling vision. - -There was still a residue of personal property as well as the land, but -the whole was left to one person, and that person wasO possibilities! -O expectations founded on the favor of close old gentlemen! O endless -vocatives that would still leave expression slipping helpless from the -measurement of mortal folly!that residuary legatee was Joshua Rigg, -who was also sole executor, and who was to take thenceforth the name of -Featherstone. - -There was a rustling which seemed like a shudder running round the -room. Every one stared afresh at Mr. Rigg, who apparently experienced -no surprise. - -A most singular testamentary disposition! exclaimed Mr. Trumbull, -preferring for once that he should be considered ignorant in the past. -But there is a second willthere is a further document. We have not -yet heard the final wishes of the deceased. - -Mary Garth was feeling that what they had yet to hear were not the -final wishes. The second will revoked everything except the legacies to -the low persons before mentioned (some alterations in these being the -occasion of the codicil), and the bequest of all the land lying in -Lowick parish with all the stock and household furniture, to Joshua -Rigg. The residue of the property was to be devoted to the erection and -endowment of almshouses for old men, to be called Featherstones -Alms-Houses, and to be built on a piece of land near Middlemarch -already bought for the purpose by the testator, he wishingso the -document declaredto please God Almighty. Nobody present had a -farthing; but Mr. Trumbull had the gold-headed cane. It took some time -for the company to recover the power of expression. Mary dared not look -at Fred. - -Mr. Vincy was the first to speakafter using his snuff-box -energeticallyand he spoke with loud indignation. The most -unaccountable will I ever heard! I should say he was not in his right -mind when he made it. I should say this last will was void, added Mr. -Vincy, feeling that this expression put the thing in the true light. -Eh Standish? - -Our deceased friend always knew what he was about, I think, said Mr. -Standish. Everything is quite regular. Here is a letter from Clemmens -of Brassing tied with the will. He drew it up. A very respectable -solicitor. - -I never noticed any alienation of mindany aberration of intellect in -the late Mr. Featherstone, said Borthrop Trumbull, but I call this -will eccentric. I was always willingly of service to the old soul; and -he intimated pretty plainly a sense of obligation which would show -itself in his will. The gold-headed cane is farcical considered as an -acknowledgment to me; but happily I am above mercenary considerations. - -Theres nothing very surprising in the matter that I can see, said -Caleb Garth. Anybody might have had more reason for wondering if the -will had been what you might expect from an open-minded straightforward -man. For my part, I wish there was no such thing as a will. - -Thats a strange sentiment to come from a Christian man, by God! said -the lawyer. I should like to know how you will back that up, Garth! - -Oh, said Caleb, leaning forward, adjusting his finger-tips with -nicety and looking meditatively on the ground. It always seemed to him -that words were the hardest part of business. - -But here Mr. Jonah Featherstone made himself heard. Well, he always -was a fine hypocrite, was my brother Peter. But this will cuts out -everything. If Id known, a wagon and six horses shouldnt have drawn -me from Brassing. Ill put a white hat and drab coat on to-morrow. - -Dear, dear, wept Mrs. Cranch, and weve been at the expense of -travelling, and that poor lad sitting idle here so long! Its the first -time I ever heard my brother Peter was so wishful to please God -Almighty; but if I was to be struck helpless I must say its hardI can -think no other. - -Itll do him no good where hes gone, thats my belief, said Solomon, -with a bitterness which was remarkably genuine, though his tone could -not help being sly. Peter was a bad liver, and almshouses wont cover -it, when hes had the impudence to show it at the last. - -And all the while had got his own lawful familybrothers and sisters -and nephews and niecesand has sat in church with em whenever he -thought well to come, said Mrs. Waule. And might have left his -property so respectable, to them thats never been used to extravagance -or unsteadiness in no manner of wayand not so poor but what they could -have saved every penny and made more of it. And methe trouble Ive -been at, times and times, to come here and be sisterlyand him with -things on his mind all the while that might make anybodys flesh creep. -But if the Almightys allowed it, he means to punish him for it. -Brother Solomon, I shall be going, if youll drive me. - -Ive no desire to put my foot on the premises again, said Solomon. -Ive got land of my own and property of my own to will away. - -Its a poor tale how luck goes in the world, said Jonah. It never -answers to have a bit of spirit in you. Youd better be a dog in the -manger. But those above ground might learn a lesson. One fools will is -enough in a family. - -Theres more ways than one of being a fool, said Solomon. I shant -leave my money to be poured down the sink, and I shant leave it to -foundlings from Africay. I like Featherstones that were brewed such, -and not turned Featherstones with sticking the name on em. - -Solomon addressed these remarks in a loud aside to Mrs. Waule as he -rose to accompany her. Brother Jonah felt himself capable of much more -stinging wit than this, but he reflected that there was no use in -offending the new proprietor of Stone Court, until you were certain -that he was quite without intentions of hospitality towards witty men -whose name he was about to bear. - -Mr. Joshua Rigg, in fact, appeared to trouble himself little about any -innuendoes, but showed a notable change of manner, walking coolly up to -Mr. Standish and putting business questions with much coolness. He had -a high chirping voice and a vile accent. Fred, whom he no longer moved -to laughter, thought him the lowest monster he had ever seen. But Fred -was feeling rather sick. The Middlemarch mercer waited for an -opportunity of engaging Mr. Rigg in conversation: there was no knowing -how many pairs of legs the new proprietor might require hose for, and -profits were more to be relied on than legacies. Also, the mercer, as a -second cousin, was dispassionate enough to feel curiosity. - -Mr. Vincy, after his one outburst, had remained proudly silent, though -too much preoccupied with unpleasant feelings to think of moving, till -he observed that his wife had gone to Freds side and was crying -silently while she held her darlings hand. He rose immediately, and -turning his back on the company while he said to her in an -undertone,Dont give way, Lucy; dont make a fool of yourself, my -dear, before these people, he added in his usual loud voiceGo and -order the phaeton, Fred; I have no time to waste. - -Mary Garth had before this been getting ready to go home with her -father. She met Fred in the hall, and now for the first time had the -courage to look at him. He had that withered sort of paleness which -will sometimes come on young faces, and his hand was very cold when she -shook it. Mary too was agitated; she was conscious that fatally, -without will of her own, she had perhaps made a great difference to -Freds lot. - -Good-by, she said, with affectionate sadness. Be brave, Fred. I do -believe you are better without the money. What was the good of it to -Mr. Featherstone? - -Thats all very fine, said Fred, pettishly. What is a fellow to do? -I must go into the Church now. (He knew that this would vex Mary: very -well; then she must tell him what else he could do.) And I thought I -should be able to pay your father at once and make everything right. -And you have not even a hundred pounds left you. What shall you do now, -Mary? - -Take another situation, of course, as soon as I can get one. My father -has enough to do to keep the rest, without me. Good-by. - -In a very short time Stone Court was cleared of well-brewed -Featherstones and other long-accustomed visitors. Another stranger had -been brought to settle in the neighborhood of Middlemarch, but in the -case of Mr. Rigg Featherstone there was more discontent with immediate -visible consequences than speculation as to the effect which his -presence might have in the future. No soul was prophetic enough to have -any foreboding as to what might appear on the trial of Joshua Rigg. - -And here I am naturally led to reflect on the means of elevating a low -subject. Historical parallels are remarkably efficient in this way. The -chief objection to them is, that the diligent narrator may lack space, -or (what is often the same thing) may not be able to think of them with -any degree of particularity, though he may have a philosophical -confidence that if known they would be illustrative. It seems an easier -and shorter way to dignity, to observe thatsince there never was a -true story which could not be told in parables, where you might put a -monkey for a margrave, and vice versawhatever has been or is to be -narrated by me about low people, may be ennobled by being considered a -parable; so that if any bad habits and ugly consequences are brought -into view, the reader may have the relief of regarding them as not more -than figuratively ungenteel, and may feel himself virtually in company -with persons of some style. Thus while I tell the truth about loobies, -my readers imagination need not be entirely excluded from an -occupation with lords; and the petty sums which any bankrupt of high -standing would be sorry to retire upon, may be lifted to the level of -high commercial transactions by the inexpensive addition of -proportional ciphers. - -As to any provincial history in which the agents are all of high moral -rank, that must be of a date long posterior to the first Reform Bill, -and Peter Featherstone, you perceive, was dead and buried some months -before Lord Grey came into office. - - - - -CHAPTER XXXVI. - -T is strange to see the humors of these men, -These great aspiring spirits, that should be wise: -. . . . . . . . -For being the nature of great spirits to love -To be where they may be most eminent; -They, rating of themselves so farre above -Us in conceit, with whom they do frequent, -Imagine how we wonder and esteeme -All that they do or say; which makes them strive -To make our admiration more extreme, -Which they suppose they cannot, less they give -Notice of their extreme and highest thoughts. -DANIEL: _Tragedy of Philotas_. - - -Mr. Vincy went home from the reading of the will with his point of view -considerably changed in relation to many subjects. He was an -open-minded man, but given to indirect modes of expressing himself: -when he was disappointed in a market for his silk braids, he swore at -the groom; when his brother-in-law Bulstrode had vexed him, he made -cutting remarks on Methodism; and it was now apparent that he regarded -Freds idleness with a sudden increase of severity, by his throwing an -embroidered cap out of the smoking-room on to the hall-floor. - -Well, sir, he observed, when that young gentleman was moving off to -bed, I hope youve made up your mind now to go up next term and pass -your examination. Ive taken my resolution, so I advise you to lose no -time in taking yours. - -Fred made no answer: he was too utterly depressed. Twenty-four hours -ago he had thought that instead of needing to know what he should do, -he should by this time know that he needed to do nothing: that he -should hunt in pink, have a first-rate hunter, ride to cover on a fine -hack, and be generally respected for doing so; moreover, that he should -be able at once to pay Mr. Garth, and that Mary could no longer have -any reason for not marrying him. And all this was to have come without -study or other inconvenience, purely by the favor of providence in the -shape of an old gentlemans caprice. But now, at the end of the -twenty-four hours, all those firm expectations were upset. It was -rather hard lines that while he was smarting under this -disappointment he should be treated as if he could have helped it. But -he went away silently and his mother pleaded for him. - -Dont be hard on the poor boy, Vincy. Hell turn out well yet, though -that wicked man has deceived him. I feel as sure as I sit here, Fred -will turn out wellelse why was he brought back from the brink of the -grave? And I call it a robbery: it was like giving him the land, to -promise it; and what is promising, if making everybody believe is not -promising? And you see he did leave him ten thousand pounds, and then -took it away again. - -Took it away again! said Mr. Vincy, pettishly. I tell you the lads -an unlucky lad, Lucy. And youve always spoiled him. - -Well, Vincy, he was my first, and you made a fine fuss with him when -he came. You were as proud as proud, said Mrs. Vincy, easily -recovering her cheerful smile. - -Who knows what babies will turn to? I was fool enough, I dare say, -said the husbandmore mildly, however. - -But who has handsomer, better children than ours? Fred is far beyond -other peoples sons: you may hear it in his speech, that he has kept -college company. And Rosamondwhere is there a girl like her? She might -stand beside any lady in the land, and only look the better for it. You -seeMr. Lydgate has kept the highest company and been everywhere, and -he fell in love with her at once. Not but what I could have wished -Rosamond had not engaged herself. She might have met somebody on a -visit who would have been a far better match; I mean at her -schoolfellow Miss Willoughbys. There are relations in that family -quite as high as Mr. Lydgates. - -Damn relations! said Mr. Vincy; Ive had enough of them. I dont -want a son-in-law who has got nothing but his relations to recommend -him. - -Why, my dear, said Mrs. Vincy, you seemed as pleased as could be -about it. Its true, I wasnt at home; but Rosamond told me you hadnt -a word to say against the engagement. And she has begun to buy in the -best linen and cambric for her underclothing. - -Not by my will, said Mr. Vincy. I shall have enough to do this year, -with an idle scamp of a son, without paying for wedding-clothes. The -times are as tight as can be; everybody is being ruined; and I dont -believe Lydgate has got a farthing. I shant give my consent to their -marrying. Let em wait, as their elders have done before em. - -Rosamond will take it hard, Vincy, and you know you never could bear -to cross her. - -Yes, I could. The sooner the engagements off, the better. I dont -believe hell ever make an income, the way he goes on. He makes -enemies; thats all I hear of his making. - -But he stands very high with Mr. Bulstrode, my dear. The marriage -would please _him_, I should think. - -Please the deuce! said Mr. Vincy. Bulstrode wont pay for their -keep. And if Lydgate thinks Im going to give money for them to set up -housekeeping, hes mistaken, thats all. I expect I shall have to put -down my horses soon. Youd better tell Rosy what I say. - -This was a not infrequent procedure with Mr. Vincyto be rash in jovial -assent, and on becoming subsequently conscious that he had been rash, -to employ others in making the offensive retractation. However, Mrs. -Vincy, who never willingly opposed her husband, lost no time the next -morning in letting Rosamond know what he had said. Rosamond, examining -some muslin-work, listened in silence, and at the end gave a certain -turn of her graceful neck, of which only long experience could teach -you that it meant perfect obstinacy. - -What do you say, my dear? said her mother, with affectionate -deference. - -Papa does not mean anything of the kind, said Rosamond, quite calmly. -He has always said that he wished me to marry the man I loved. And I -shall marry Mr. Lydgate. It is seven weeks now since papa gave his -consent. And I hope we shall have Mrs. Brettons house. - -Well, my dear, I shall leave you to manage your papa. You always do -manage everybody. But if we ever do go and get damask, Sadlers is the -placefar better than Hopkinss. Mrs. Brettons is very large, though: -I should love you to have such a house; but it will take a great deal -of furniturecarpeting and everything, besides plate and glass. And you -hear, your papa says he will give no money. Do you think Mr. Lydgate -expects it? - -You cannot imagine that I should ask him, mamma. Of course he -understands his own affairs. - -But he may have been looking for money, my dear, and we all thought of -your having a pretty legacy as well as Fred;and now everything is so -dreadfultheres no pleasure in thinking of anything, with that poor -boy disappointed as he is. - -That has nothing to do with my marriage, mamma. Fred must leave off -being idle. I am going up-stairs to take this work to Miss Morgan: she -does the open hemming very well. Mary Garth might do some work for me -now, I should think. Her sewing is exquisite; it is the nicest thing I -know about Mary. I should so like to have all my cambric frilling -double-hemmed. And it takes a long time. - -Mrs. Vincys belief that Rosamond could manage her papa was well -founded. Apart from his dinners and his coursing, Mr. Vincy, blustering -as he was, had as little of his own way as if he had been a prime -minister: the force of circumstances was easily too much for him, as it -is for most pleasure-loving florid men; and the circumstance called -Rosamond was particularly forcible by means of that mild persistence -which, as we know, enables a white soft living substance to make its -way in spite of opposing rock. Papa was not a rock: he had no other -fixity than that fixity of alternating impulses sometimes called habit, -and this was altogether unfavorable to his taking the only decisive -line of conduct in relation to his daughters engagementnamely, to -inquire thoroughly into Lydgates circumstances, declare his own -inability to furnish money, and forbid alike either a speedy marriage -or an engagement which must be too lengthy. That seems very simple and -easy in the statement; but a disagreeable resolve formed in the chill -hours of the morning had as many conditions against it as the early -frost, and rarely persisted under the warming influences of the day. -The indirect though emphatic expression of opinion to which Mr. Vincy -was prone suffered much restraint in this case: Lydgate was a proud man -towards whom innuendoes were obviously unsafe, and throwing his hat on -the floor was out of the question. Mr. Vincy was a little in awe of -him, a little vain that he wanted to marry Rosamond, a little -indisposed to raise a question of money in which his own position was -not advantageous, a little afraid of being worsted in dialogue with a -man better educated and more highly bred than himself, and a little -afraid of doing what his daughter would not like. The part Mr. Vincy -preferred playing was that of the generous host whom nobody criticises. -In the earlier half of the day there was business to hinder any formal -communication of an adverse resolve; in the later there was dinner, -wine, whist, and general satisfaction. And in the mean while the hours -were each leaving their little deposit and gradually forming the final -reason for inaction, namely, that action was too late. The accepted -lover spent most of his evenings in Lowick Gate, and a love-making not -at all dependent on money-advances from fathers-in-law, or prospective -income from a profession, went on flourishingly under Mr. Vincys own -eyes. Young love-makingthat gossamer web! Even the points it clings -tothe things whence its subtle interlacings are swungare scarcely -perceptible: momentary touches of fingertips, meetings of rays from -blue and dark orbs, unfinished phrases, lightest changes of cheek and -lip, faintest tremors. The web itself is made of spontaneous beliefs -and indefinable joys, yearnings of one life towards another, visions of -completeness, indefinite trust. And Lydgate fell to spinning that web -from his inward self with wonderful rapidity, in spite of experience -supposed to be finished off with the drama of Laurein spite too of -medicine and biology; for the inspection of macerated muscle or of eyes -presented in a dish (like Santa Lucias), and other incidents of -scientific inquiry, are observed to be less incompatible with poetic -love than a native dulness or a lively addiction to the lowest prose. -As for Rosamond, she was in the water-lilys expanding wonderment at -its own fuller life, and she too was spinning industriously at the -mutual web. All this went on in the corner of the drawing-room where -the piano stood, and subtle as it was, the light made it a sort of -rainbow visible to many observers besides Mr. Farebrother. The -certainty that Miss Vincy and Mr. Lydgate were engaged became general -in Middlemarch without the aid of formal announcement. - -Aunt Bulstrode was again stirred to anxiety; but this time she -addressed herself to her brother, going to the warehouse expressly to -avoid Mrs. Vincys volatility. His replies were not satisfactory. - -Walter, you never mean to tell me that you have allowed all this to go -on without inquiry into Mr. Lydgates prospects? said Mrs. Bulstrode, -opening her eyes with wider gravity at her brother, who was in his -peevish warehouse humor. Think of this girl brought up in luxuryin -too worldly a way, I am sorry to saywhat will she do on a small -income? - -Oh, confound it, Harriet! What can I do when men come into the town -without any asking of mine? Did you shut your house up against Lydgate? -Bulstrode has pushed him forward more than anybody. I never made any -fuss about the young fellow. You should go and talk to your husband -about it, not me. - -Well, really, Walter, how can Mr. Bulstrode be to blame? I am sure he -did not wish for the engagement. - -Oh, if Bulstrode had not taken him by the hand, I should never have -invited him. - -But you called him in to attend on Fred, and I am sure that was a -mercy, said Mrs. Bulstrode, losing her clew in the intricacies of the -subject. - -I dont know about mercy, said Mr. Vincy, testily. I know I am -worried more than I like with my family. I was a good brother to you, -Harriet, before you married Bulstrode, and I must say he doesnt always -show that friendly spirit towards your family that might have been -expected of him. Mr. Vincy was very little like a Jesuit, but no -accomplished Jesuit could have turned a question more adroitly. Harriet -had to defend her husband instead of blaming her brother, and the -conversation ended at a point as far from the beginning as some recent -sparring between the brothers-in-law at a vestry meeting. - -Mrs. Bulstrode did not repeat her brothers complaints to her husband, -but in the evening she spoke to him of Lydgate and Rosamond. He did not -share her warm interest, however; and only spoke with resignation of -the risks attendant on the beginning of medical practice and the -desirability of prudence. - -I am sure we are bound to pray for that thoughtless girlbrought up as -she has been, said Mrs. Bulstrode, wishing to rouse her husbands -feelings. - -Truly, my dear, said Mr. Bulstrode, assentingly. Those who are not -of this world can do little else to arrest the errors of the -obstinately worldly. That is what we must accustom ourselves to -recognize with regard to your brothers family. I could have wished -that Mr. Lydgate had not entered into such a union; but my relations -with him are limited to that use of his gifts for Gods purposes which -is taught us by the divine government under each dispensation. - -Mrs. Bulstrode said no more, attributing some dissatisfaction which she -felt to her own want of spirituality. She believed that her husband was -one of those men whose memoirs should be written when they died. - -As to Lydgate himself, having been accepted, he was prepared to accept -all the consequences which he believed himself to foresee with perfect -clearness. Of course he must be married in a yearperhaps even in half -a year. This was not what he had intended; but other schemes would not -be hindered: they would simply adjust themselves anew. Marriage, of -course, must be prepared for in the usual way. A house must be taken -instead of the rooms he at present occupied; and Lydgate, having heard -Rosamond speak with admiration of old Mrs. Brettons house (situated in -Lowick Gate), took notice when it fell vacant after the old ladys -death, and immediately entered into treaty for it. - -He did this in an episodic way, very much as he gave orders to his -tailor for every requisite of perfect dress, without any notion of -being extravagant. On the contrary, he would have despised any -ostentation of expense; his profession had familiarized him with all -grades of poverty, and he cared much for those who suffered hardships. -He would have behaved perfectly at a table where the sauce was served -in a jug with the handle off, and he would have remembered nothing -about a grand dinner except that a man was there who talked well. But -it had never occurred to him that he should live in any other than what -he would have called an ordinary way, with green glasses for hock, and -excellent waiting at table. In warming himself at French social -theories he had brought away no smell of scorching. We may handle even -extreme opinions with impunity while our furniture, our dinner-giving, -and preference for armorial bearings in our own case, link us -indissolubly with the established order. And Lydgates tendency was not -towards extreme opinions: he would have liked no barefooted doctrines, -being particular about his boots: he was no radical in relation to -anything but medical reform and the prosecution of discovery. In the -rest of practical life he walked by hereditary habit; half from that -personal pride and unreflecting egoism which I have already called -commonness, and half from that naivete which belonged to preoccupation -with favorite ideas. - -Any inward debate Lydgate had as to the consequences of this engagement -which had stolen upon him, turned on the paucity of time rather than of -money. Certainly, being in love and being expected continually by some -one who always turned out to be prettier than memory could represent -her to be, did interfere with the diligent use of spare hours which -might serve some plodding fellow of a German to make the great, -imminent discovery. This was really an argument for not deferring the -marriage too long, as he implied to Mr. Farebrother, one day that the -Vicar came to his room with some pond-products which he wanted to -examine under a better microscope than his own, and, finding Lydgates -tableful of apparatus and specimens in confusion, said sarcastically - -Eros has degenerated; he began by introducing order and harmony, and -now he brings back chaos. - -Yes, at some stages, said Lydgate, lifting his brows and smiling, -while he began to arrange his microscope. But a better order will -begin after. - -Soon? said the Vicar. - -I hope so, really. This unsettled state of affairs uses up the time, -and when one has notions in science, every moment is an opportunity. I -feel sure that marriage must be the best thing for a man who wants to -work steadily. He has everything at home thenno teasing with personal -speculationshe can get calmness and freedom. - -You are an enviable dog, said the Vicar, to have such a -prospectRosamond, calmness and freedom, all to your share. Here am I -with nothing but my pipe and pond-animalcules. Now, are you ready? - -Lydgate did not mention to the Vicar another reason he had for wishing -to shorten the period of courtship. It was rather irritating to him, -even with the wine of love in his veins, to be obliged to mingle so -often with the family party at the Vincys, and to enter so much into -Middlemarch gossip, protracted good cheer, whist-playing, and general -futility. He had to be deferential when Mr. Vincy decided questions -with trenchant ignorance, especially as to those liquors which were the -best inward pickle, preserving you from the effects of bad air. Mrs. -Vincys openness and simplicity were quite unstreaked with suspicion as -to the subtle offence she might give to the taste of her intended -son-in-law; and altogether Lydgate had to confess to himself that he -was descending a little in relation to Rosamonds family. But that -exquisite creature herself suffered in the same sort of way:it was at -least one delightful thought that in marrying her, he could give her a -much-needed transplantation. - -Dear! he said to her one evening, in his gentlest tone, as he sat -down by her and looked closely at her face - -But I must first say that he had found her alone in the drawing-room, -where the great old-fashioned window, almost as large as the side of -the room, was opened to the summer scents of the garden at the back of -the house. Her father and mother were gone to a party, and the rest -were all out with the butterflies. - -Dear! your eyelids are red. - -Are they? said Rosamond. I wonder why. It was not in her nature to -pour forth wishes or grievances. They only came forth gracefully on -solicitation. - -As if you could hide it from me! said Lydgate, laying his hand -tenderly on both of hers. Dont I see a tiny drop on one of the -lashes? Things trouble you, and you dont tell me. That is unloving. - -Why should I tell you what you cannot alter? They are every-day -things:perhaps they have been a little worse lately. - -Family annoyances. Dont fear speaking. I guess them. - -Papa has been more irritable lately. Fred makes him angry, and this -morning there was a fresh quarrel because Fred threatens to throw his -whole education away, and do something quite beneath him. And besides - -Rosamond hesitated, and her cheeks were gathering a slight flush. -Lydgate had never seen her in trouble since the morning of their -engagement, and he had never felt so passionately towards her as at -this moment. He kissed the hesitating lips gently, as if to encourage -them. - -I feel that papa is not quite pleased about our engagement, Rosamond -continued, almost in a whisper; and he said last night that he should -certainly speak to you and say it must be given up. - -Will you give it up? said Lydgate, with quick energyalmost angrily. - -I never give up anything that I choose to do, said Rosamond, -recovering her calmness at the touching of this chord. - -God bless you! said Lydgate, kissing her again. This constancy of -purpose in the right place was adorable. He went on: - -It is too late now for your father to say that our engagement must be -given up. You are of age, and I claim you as mine. If anything is done -to make you unhappy,that is a reason for hastening our marriage. - -An unmistakable delight shone forth from the blue eyes that met his, -and the radiance seemed to light up all his future with mild sunshine. -Ideal happiness (of the kind known in the Arabian Nights, in which you -are invited to step from the labor and discord of the street into a -paradise where everything is given to you and nothing claimed) seemed -to be an affair of a few weeks waiting, more or less. - -Why should we defer it? he said, with ardent insistence. I have -taken the house now: everything else can soon be got readycan it not? -You will not mind about new clothes. Those can be bought afterwards. - -What original notions you clever men have! said Rosamond, dimpling -with more thorough laughter than usual at this humorous incongruity. -This is the first time I ever heard of wedding-clothes being bought -after marriage. - -But you dont mean to say you would insist on my waiting months for -the sake of clothes? said Lydgate, half thinking that Rosamond was -tormenting him prettily, and half fearing that she really shrank from -speedy marriage. Remember, we are looking forward to a better sort of -happiness even than thisbeing continually together, independent of -others, and ordering our lives as we will. Come, dear, tell me how soon -you can be altogether mine. - -There was a serious pleading in Lydgates tone, as if he felt that she -would be injuring him by any fantastic delays. Rosamond became serious -too, and slightly meditative; in fact, she was going through many -intricacies of lace-edging and hosiery and petticoat-tucking, in order -to give an answer that would at least be approximative. - -Six weeks would be amplesay so, Rosamond, insisted Lydgate, -releasing her hands to put his arm gently round her. - -One little hand immediately went to pat her hair, while she gave her -neck a meditative turn, and then said seriously - -There would be the house-linen and the furniture to be prepared. -Still, mamma could see to those while we were away. - -Yes, to be sure. We must be away a week or so. - -Oh, more than that! said Rosamond, earnestly. She was thinking of her -evening dresses for the visit to Sir Godwin Lydgates, which she had -long been secretly hoping for as a delightful employment of at least -one quarter of the honeymoon, even if she deferred her introduction to -the uncle who was a doctor of divinity (also a pleasing though sober -kind of rank, when sustained by blood). She looked at her lover with -some wondering remonstrance as she spoke, and he readily understood -that she might wish to lengthen the sweet time of double solitude. - -Whatever you wish, my darling, when the day is fixed. But let us take -a decided course, and put an end to any discomfort you may be -suffering. Six weeks!I am sure they would be ample. - -I could certainly hasten the work, said Rosamond. Will you, then, -mention it to papa?I think it would be better to write to him. She -blushed and looked at him as the garden flowers look at us when we walk -forth happily among them in the transcendent evening light: is there -not a soul beyond utterance, half nymph, half child, in those delicate -petals which glow and breathe about the centres of deep color? - -He touched her ear and a little bit of neck under it with his lips, and -they sat quite still for many minutes which flowed by them like a small -gurgling brook with the kisses of the sun upon it. Rosamond thought -that no one could be more in love than she was; and Lydgate thought -that after all his wild mistakes and absurd credulity, he had found -perfect womanhoodfelt as if already breathed upon by exquisite wedded -affection such as would be bestowed by an accomplished creature who -venerated his high musings and momentous labors and would never -interfere with them; who would create order in the home and accounts -with still magic, yet keep her fingers ready to touch the lute and -transform life into romance at any moment; who was instructed to the -true womanly limit and not a hairs-breadth beyonddocile, therefore, -and ready to carry out behests which came from that limit. It was -plainer now than ever that his notion of remaining much longer a -bachelor had been a mistake: marriage would not be an obstruction but a -furtherance. And happening the next day to accompany a patient to -Brassing, he saw a dinner-service there which struck him as so exactly -the right thing that he bought it at once. It saved time to do these -things just when you thought of them, and Lydgate hated ugly crockery. -The dinner-service in question was expensive, but that might be in the -nature of dinner-services. Furnishing was necessarily expensive; but -then it had to be done only once. - -It must be lovely, said Mrs. Vincy, when Lydgate mentioned his -purchase with some descriptive touches. Just what Rosy ought to have. -I trust in heaven it wont be broken! - -One must hire servants who will not break things, said Lydgate. -(Certainly, this was reasoning with an imperfect vision of sequences. -But at that period there was no sort of reasoning which was not more or -less sanctioned by men of science.) - -Of course it was unnecessary to defer the mention of anything to mamma, -who did not readily take views that were not cheerful, and being a -happy wife herself, had hardly any feeling but pride in her daughters -marriage. But Rosamond had good reasons for suggesting to Lydgate that -papa should be appealed to in writing. She prepared for the arrival of -the letter by walking with her papa to the warehouse the next morning, -and telling him on the way that Mr. Lydgate wished to be married soon. - -Nonsense, my dear! said Mr. Vincy. What has he got to marry on? -Youd much better give up the engagement. Ive told you so pretty -plainly before this. What have you had such an education for, if you -are to go and marry a poor man? Its a cruel thing for a father to -see. - -Mr. Lydgate is not poor, papa. He bought Mr. Peacocks practice, -which, they say, is worth eight or nine hundred a-year. - -Stuff and nonsense! Whats buying a practice? He might as well buy -next years swallows. Itll all slip through his fingers. - -On the contrary, papa, he will increase the practice. See how he has -been called in by the Chettams and Casaubons. - -I hope he knows I shant give anythingwith this disappointment about -Fred, and Parliament going to be dissolved, and machine-breaking -everywhere, and an election coming on - -Dear papa! what can that have to do with my marriage? - -A pretty deal to do with it! We may all be ruined for what I knowthe -countrys in that state! Some say its the end of the world, and be -hanged if I dont think it looks like it! Anyhow, its not a time for -me to be drawing money out of my business, and I should wish Lydgate to -know that. - -I am sure he expects nothing, papa. And he has such very high -connections: he is sure to rise in one way or another. He is engaged in -making scientific discoveries. - -Mr. Vincy was silent. - -I cannot give up my only prospect of happiness, papa. Mr. Lydgate is a -gentleman. I could never love any one who was not a perfect gentleman. -You would not like me to go into a consumption, as Arabella Hawley did. -And you know that I never change my mind. - -Again papa was silent. - -Promise me, papa, that you will consent to what we wish. We shall -never give each other up; and you know that you have always objected to -long courtships and late marriages. - -There was a little more urgency of this kind, till Mr. Vincy said, -Well, well, child, he must write to me first before I can answer -him,and Rosamond was certain that she had gained her point. - -Mr. Vincys answer consisted chiefly in a demand that Lydgate should -insure his lifea demand immediately conceded. This was a delightfully -reassuring idea supposing that Lydgate died, but in the mean time not a -self-supporting idea. However, it seemed to make everything comfortable -about Rosamonds marriage; and the necessary purchases went on with -much spirit. Not without prudential considerations, however. A bride -(who is going to visit at a baronets) must have a few first-rate -pocket-handkerchiefs; but beyond the absolutely necessary half-dozen, -Rosamond contented herself without the very highest style of embroidery -and Valenciennes. Lydgate also, finding that his sum of eight hundred -pounds had been considerably reduced since he had come to Middlemarch, -restrained his inclination for some plate of an old pattern which was -shown to him when he went into Kibbles establishment at Brassing to -buy forks and spoons. He was too proud to act as if he presupposed that -Mr. Vincy would advance money to provide furniture; and though, since -it would not be necessary to pay for everything at once, some bills -would be left standing over, he did not waste time in conjecturing how -much his father-in-law would give in the form of dowry, to make payment -easy. He was not going to do anything extravagant, but the requisite -things must be bought, and it would be bad economy to buy them of a -poor quality. All these matters were by the bye. Lydgate foresaw that -science and his profession were the objects he should alone pursue -enthusiastically; but he could not imagine himself pursuing them in -such a home as Wrench hadthe doors all open, the oil-cloth worn, the -children in soiled pinafores, and lunch lingering in the form of bones, -black-handled knives, and willow-pattern. But Wrench had a wretched -lymphatic wife who made a mummy of herself indoors in a large shawl; -and he must have altogether begun with an ill-chosen domestic -apparatus. - -Rosamond, however, was on her side much occupied with conjectures, -though her quick imitative perception warned her against betraying them -too crudely. - -I shall like so much to know your family, she said one day, when the -wedding journey was being discussed. We might perhaps take a direction -that would allow us to see them as we returned. Which of your uncles do -you like best? - -Oh,my uncle Godwin, I think. He is a good-natured old fellow. - -You were constantly at his house at Quallingham, when you were a boy, -were you not? I should so like to see the old spot and everything you -were used to. Does he know you are going to be married? - -No, said Lydgate, carelessly, turning in his chair and rubbing his -hair up. - -Do send him word of it, you naughty undutiful nephew. He will perhaps -ask you to take me to Quallingham; and then you could show me about the -grounds, and I could imagine you there when you were a boy. Remember, -you see me in my home, just as it has been since I was a child. It is -not fair that I should be so ignorant of yours. But perhaps you would -be a little ashamed of me. I forgot that. - -Lydgate smiled at her tenderly, and really accepted the suggestion that -the proud pleasure of showing so charming a bride was worth some -trouble. And now he came to think of it, he would like to see the old -spots with Rosamond. - -I will write to him, then. But my cousins are bores. - -It seemed magnificent to Rosamond to be able to speak so slightingly of -a baronets family, and she felt much contentment in the prospect of -being able to estimate them contemptuously on her own account. - -But mamma was near spoiling all, a day or two later, by saying - -I hope your uncle Sir Godwin will not look down on Rosy, Mr. Lydgate. -I should think he would do something handsome. A thousand or two can be -nothing to a baronet. - -Mamma! said Rosamond, blushing deeply; and Lydgate pitied her so much -that he remained silent and went to the other end of the room to -examine a print curiously, as if he had been absent-minded. Mamma had a -little filial lecture afterwards, and was docile as usual. But Rosamond -reflected that if any of those high-bred cousins who were bores, should -be induced to visit Middlemarch, they would see many things in her own -family which might shock them. Hence it seemed desirable that Lydgate -should by-and-by get some first-rate position elsewhere than in -Middlemarch; and this could hardly be difficult in the case of a man -who had a titled uncle and could make discoveries. Lydgate, you -perceive, had talked fervidly to Rosamond of his hopes as to the -highest uses of his life, and had found it delightful to be listened to -by a creature who would bring him the sweet furtherance of satisfying -affectionbeautyreposesuch help as our thoughts get from the summer -sky and the flower-fringed meadows. - -Lydgate relied much on the psychological difference between what for -the sake of variety I will call goose and gander: especially on the -innate submissiveness of the goose as beautifully corresponding to the -strength of the gander. - - - - -CHAPTER XXXVII. - -Thrice happy she that is so well assured -Unto herself and settled so in heart -That neither will for better be allured -Ne fears to worse with any chance to start, -But like a steddy ship doth strongly part -The raging waves and keeps her course aright; -Ne aught for tempest doth from it depart, -Ne aught for fairer weathers false delight. -Such self-assurance need not fear the spight -Of grudging foes; ne favour seek of friends; -But in the stay of her own stedfast might -Neither to one herself nor other bends. - Most happy she that most assured doth rest, - But he most happy who such one loves best. -SPENSER. - - -The doubt hinted by Mr. Vincy whether it were only the general election -or the end of the world that was coming on, now that George the Fourth -was dead, Parliament dissolved, Wellington and Peel generally -depreciated and the new King apologetic, was a feeble type of the -uncertainties in provincial opinion at that time. With the glow-worm -lights of country places, how could men see which were their own -thoughts in the confusion of a Tory Ministry passing Liberal measures, -of Tory nobles and electors being anxious to return Liberals rather -than friends of the recreant Ministers, and of outcries for remedies -which seemed to have a mysteriously remote bearing on private interest, -and were made suspicious by the advocacy of disagreeable neighbors? -Buyers of the Middlemarch newspapers found themselves in an anomalous -position: during the agitation on the Catholic Question many had given -up the Pioneerwhich had a motto from Charles James Fox and was in -the van of progressbecause it had taken Peels side about the Papists, -and had thus blotted its Liberalism with a toleration of Jesuitry and -Baal; but they were ill-satisfied with the Trumpet, whichsince its -blasts against Rome, and in the general flaccidity of the public mind -(nobody knowing who would support whom)had become feeble in its -blowing. - -It was a time, according to a noticeable article in the Pioneer, when -the crying needs of the country might well counteract a reluctance to -public action on the part of men whose minds had from long experience -acquired breadth as well as concentration, decision of judgment as well -as tolerance, dispassionateness as well as energyin fact, all those -qualities which in the melancholy experience of mankind have been the -least disposed to share lodgings. - -Mr. Hackbutt, whose fluent speech was at that time floating more widely -than usual, and leaving much uncertainty as to its ultimate channel, -was heard to say in Mr. Hawleys office that the article in question -emanated from Brooke of Tipton, and that Brooke had secretly bought -the Pioneer some months ago. - -That means mischief, eh? said Mr. Hawley. Hes got the freak of -being a popular man now, after dangling about like a stray tortoise. So -much the worse for him. Ive had my eye on him for some time. He shall -be prettily pumped upon. Hes a damned bad landlord. What business has -an old county man to come currying favor with a low set of dark-blue -freemen? As to his paper, I only hope he may do the writing himself. It -would be worth our paying for. - -I understand he has got a very brilliant young fellow to edit it, who -can write the highest style of leading article, quite equal to anything -in the London papers. And he means to take very high ground on Reform. - -Let Brooke reform his rent-roll. Hes a cursed old screw, and the -buildings all over his estate are going to rack. I suppose this young -fellow is some loose fish from London. - -His name is Ladislaw. He is said to be of foreign extraction. - -I know the sort, said Mr. Hawley; some emissary. Hell begin with -flourishing about the Rights of Man and end with murdering a wench. -Thats the style. - -You must concede that there are abuses, Hawley, said Mr. Hackbutt, -foreseeing some political disagreement with his family lawyer. I -myself should never favor immoderate viewsin fact I take my stand with -Huskissonbut I cannot blind myself to the consideration that the -non-representation of large towns - -Large towns be damned! said Mr. Hawley, impatient of exposition. I -know a little too much about Middlemarch elections. Let em quash every -pocket borough to-morrow, and bring in every mushroom town in the -kingdomtheyll only increase the expense of getting into Parliament. I -go upon facts. - -Mr. Hawleys disgust at the notion of the Pioneer being edited by an -emissary, and of Brooke becoming actively politicalas if a tortoise of -desultory pursuits should protrude its small head ambitiously and -become rampantwas hardly equal to the annoyance felt by some members -of Mr. Brookes own family. The result had oozed forth gradually, like -the discovery that your neighbor has set up an unpleasant kind of -manufacture which will be permanently under your nostrils without legal -remedy. The Pioneer had been secretly bought even before Will -Ladislaws arrival, the expected opportunity having offered itself in -the readiness of the proprietor to part with a valuable property which -did not pay; and in the interval since Mr. Brooke had written his -invitation, those germinal ideas of making his mind tell upon the world -at large which had been present in him from his younger years, but had -hitherto lain in some obstruction, had been sprouting under cover. - -The development was much furthered by a delight in his guest which -proved greater even than he had anticipated. For it seemed that Will -was not only at home in all those artistic and literary subjects which -Mr. Brooke had gone into at one time, but that he was strikingly ready -at seizing the points of the political situation, and dealing with them -in that large spirit which, aided by adequate memory, lends itself to -quotation and general effectiveness of treatment. - -He seems to me a kind of Shelley, you know, Mr. Brooke took an -opportunity of saying, for the gratification of Mr. Casaubon. I dont -mean as to anything objectionablelaxities or atheism, or anything of -that kind, you knowLadislaws sentiments in every way I am sure are -goodindeed, we were talking a great deal together last night. But he -has the same sort of enthusiasm for liberty, freedom, emancipationa -fine thing under guidanceunder guidance, you know. I think I shall be -able to put him on the right tack; and I am the more pleased because he -is a relation of yours, Casaubon. - -If the right tack implied anything more precise than the rest of Mr. -Brookes speech, Mr. Casaubon silently hoped that it referred to some -occupation at a great distance from Lowick. He had disliked Will while -he helped him, but he had begun to dislike him still more now that Will -had declined his help. That is the way with us when we have any uneasy -jealousy in our disposition: if our talents are chiefly of the -burrowing kind, our honey-sipping cousin (whom we have grave reasons -for objecting to) is likely to have a secret contempt for us, and any -one who admires him passes an oblique criticism on ourselves. Having -the scruples of rectitude in our souls, we are above the meanness of -injuring himrather we meet all his claims on us by active benefits; -and the drawing of cheques for him, being a superiority which he must -recognize, gives our bitterness a milder infusion. Now Mr. Casaubon had -been deprived of that superiority (as anything more than a remembrance) -in a sudden, capricious manner. His antipathy to Will did not spring -from the common jealousy of a winter-worn husband: it was something -deeper, bred by his lifelong claims and discontents; but Dorothea, now -that she was presentDorothea, as a young wife who herself had shown an -offensive capability of criticism, necessarily gave concentration to -the uneasiness which had before been vague. - -Will Ladislaw on his side felt that his dislike was flourishing at the -expense of his gratitude, and spent much inward discourse in justifying -the dislike. Casaubon hated himhe knew that very well; on his first -entrance he could discern a bitterness in the mouth and a venom in the -glance which would almost justify declaring war in spite of past -benefits. He was much obliged to Casaubon in the past, but really the -act of marrying this wife was a set-off against the obligation. It was -a question whether gratitude which refers to what is done for ones -self ought not to give way to indignation at what is done against -another. And Casaubon had done a wrong to Dorothea in marrying her. A -man was bound to know himself better than that, and if he chose to grow -gray crunching bones in a cavern, he had no business to be luring a -girl into his companionship. It is the most horrible of -virgin-sacrifices, said Will; and he painted to himself what were -Dorotheas inward sorrows as if he had been writing a choric wail. But -he would never lose sight of her: he would watch over herif he gave up -everything else in life he would watch over her, and she should know -that she had one slave in the world. Will hadto use Sir Thomas -Brownes phrasea passionate prodigality of statement both to himself -and others. The simple truth was that nothing then invited him so -strongly as the presence of Dorothea. - -Invitations of the formal kind had been wanting, however, for Will had -never been asked to go to Lowick. Mr. Brooke, indeed, confident of -doing everything agreeable which Casaubon, poor fellow, was too much -absorbed to think of, had arranged to bring Ladislaw to Lowick several -times (not neglecting meanwhile to introduce him elsewhere on every -opportunity as a young relative of Casaubons). And though Will had -not seen Dorothea alone, their interviews had been enough to restore -her former sense of young companionship with one who was cleverer than -herself, yet seemed ready to be swayed by her. Poor Dorothea before her -marriage had never found much room in other minds for what she cared -most to say; and she had not, as we know, enjoyed her husbands -superior instruction so much as she had expected. If she spoke with any -keenness of interest to Mr. Casaubon, he heard her with an air of -patience as if she had given a quotation from the Delectus familiar to -him from his tender years, and sometimes mentioned curtly what ancient -sects or personages had held similar ideas, as if there were too much -of that sort in stock already; at other times he would inform her that -she was mistaken, and reassert what her remark had questioned. - -But Will Ladislaw always seemed to see more in what she said than she -herself saw. Dorothea had little vanity, but she had the ardent womans -need to rule beneficently by making the joy of another soul. Hence the -mere chance of seeing Will occasionally was like a lunette opened in -the wall of her prison, giving her a glimpse of the sunny air; and this -pleasure began to nullify her original alarm at what her husband might -think about the introduction of Will as her uncles guest. On this -subject Mr. Casaubon had remained dumb. - -But Will wanted to talk with Dorothea alone, and was impatient of slow -circumstance. However slight the terrestrial intercourse between Dante -and Beatrice or Petrarch and Laura, time changes the proportion of -things, and in later days it is preferable to have fewer sonnets and -more conversation. Necessity excused stratagem, but stratagem was -limited by the dread of offending Dorothea. He found out at last that -he wanted to take a particular sketch at Lowick; and one morning when -Mr. Brooke had to drive along the Lowick road on his way to the county -town, Will asked to be set down with his sketch-book and camp-stool at -Lowick, and without announcing himself at the Manor settled himself to -sketch in a position where he must see Dorothea if she came out to -walkand he knew that she usually walked an hour in the morning. - -But the stratagem was defeated by the weather. Clouds gathered with -treacherous quickness, the rain came down, and Will was obliged to take -shelter in the house. He intended, on the strength of relationship, to -go into the drawing-room and wait there without being announced; and -seeing his old acquaintance the butler in the hall, he said, Dont -mention that I am here, Pratt; I will wait till luncheon; I know Mr. -Casaubon does not like to be disturbed when he is in the library. - -Master is out, sir; theres only Mrs. Casaubon in the library. Id -better tell her youre here, sir, said Pratt, a red-cheeked man given -to lively converse with Tantripp, and often agreeing with her that it -must be dull for Madam. - -Oh, very well; this confounded rain has hindered me from sketching, -said Will, feeling so happy that he affected indifference with -delightful ease. - -In another minute he was in the library, and Dorothea was meeting him -with her sweet unconstrained smile. - -Mr. Casaubon has gone to the Archdeacons, she said, at once. I -dont know whether he will be at home again long before dinner. He was -uncertain how long he should be. Did you want to say anything -particular to him? - -No; I came to sketch, but the rain drove me in. Else I would not have -disturbed you yet. I supposed that Mr. Casaubon was here, and I know he -dislikes interruption at this hour. - -I am indebted to the rain, then. I am so glad to see you. Dorothea -uttered these common words with the simple sincerity of an unhappy -child, visited at school. - -I really came for the chance of seeing you alone, said Will, -mysteriously forced to be just as simple as she was. He could not stay -to ask himself, why not? I wanted to talk about things, as we did in -Rome. It always makes a difference when other people are present. - -Yes, said Dorothea, in her clear full tone of assent. Sit down. She -seated herself on a dark ottoman with the brown books behind her, -looking in her plain dress of some thin woollen-white material, without -a single ornament on her besides her wedding-ring, as if she were under -a vow to be different from all other women; and Will sat down opposite -her at two yards distance, the light falling on his bright curls and -delicate but rather petulant profile, with its defiant curves of lip -and chin. Each looked at the other as if they had been two flowers -which had opened then and there. Dorothea for the moment forgot her -husbands mysterious irritation against Will: it seemed fresh water at -her thirsty lips to speak without fear to the one person whom she had -found receptive; for in looking backward through sadness she -exaggerated a past solace. - -I have often thought that I should like to talk to you again, she -said, immediately. It seems strange to me how many things I said to -you. - -I remember them all, said Will, with the unspeakable content in his -soul of feeling that he was in the presence of a creature worthy to be -perfectly loved. I think his own feelings at that moment were perfect, -for we mortals have our divine moments, when love is satisfied in the -completeness of the beloved object. - -I have tried to learn a great deal since we were in Rome, said -Dorothea. I can read Latin a little, and I am beginning to understand -just a little Greek. I can help Mr. Casaubon better now. I can find out -references for him and save his eyes in many ways. But it is very -difficult to be learned; it seems as if people were worn out on the way -to great thoughts, and can never enjoy them because they are too -tired. - -If a man has a capacity for great thoughts, he is likely to overtake -them before he is decrepit, said Will, with irrepressible quickness. -But through certain sensibilities Dorothea was as quick as he, and -seeing her face change, he added, immediately, But it is quite true -that the best minds have been sometimes overstrained in working out -their ideas. - -You correct me, said Dorothea. I expressed myself ill. I should have -said that those who have great thoughts get too much worn in working -them out. I used to feel about that, even when I was a little girl; and -it always seemed to me that the use I should like to make of my life -would be to help some one who did great works, so that his burthen -might be lighter. - -Dorothea was led on to this bit of autobiography without any sense of -making a revelation. But she had never before said anything to Will -which threw so strong a light on her marriage. He did not shrug his -shoulders; and for want of that muscular outlet he thought the more -irritably of beautiful lips kissing holy skulls and other emptinesses -ecclesiastically enshrined. Also he had to take care that his speech -should not betray that thought. - -But you may easily carry the help too far, he said, and get -over-wrought yourself. Are you not too much shut up? You already look -paler. It would be better for Mr. Casaubon to have a secretary; he -could easily get a man who would do half his work for him. It would -save him more effectually, and you need only help him in lighter ways. - -How can you think of that? said Dorothea, in a tone of earnest -remonstrance. I should have no happiness if I did not help him in his -work. What could I do? There is no good to be done in Lowick. The only -thing I desire is to help him more. And he objects to a secretary: -please not to mention that again. - -Certainly not, now I know your feeling. But I have heard both Mr. -Brooke and Sir James Chettam express the same wish. - -Yes, said Dorothea, but they dont understandthey want me to be a -great deal on horseback, and have the garden altered and new -conservatories, to fill up my days. I thought you could understand that -ones mind has other wants, she added, rather impatientlybesides, -Mr. Casaubon cannot bear to hear of a secretary. - -My mistake is excusable, said Will. In old days I used to hear Mr. -Casaubon speak as if he looked forward to having a secretary. Indeed he -held out the prospect of that office to me. But I turned out to benot -good enough for it. - -Dorothea was trying to extract out of this an excuse for her husbands -evident repulsion, as she said, with a playful smile, You were not a -steady worker enough. - -No, said Will, shaking his head backward somewhat after the manner of -a spirited horse. And then, the old irritable demon prompting him to -give another good pinch at the moth-wings of poor Mr. Casaubons glory, -he went on, And I have seen since that Mr. Casaubon does not like any -one to overlook his work and know thoroughly what he is doing. He is -too doubtfultoo uncertain of himself. I may not be good for much, but -he dislikes me because I disagree with him. - -Will was not without his intentions to be always generous, but our -tongues are little triggers which have usually been pulled before -general intentions can be brought to bear. And it was too intolerable -that Casaubons dislike of him should not be fairly accounted for to -Dorothea. Yet when he had spoken he was rather uneasy as to the effect -on her. - -But Dorothea was strangely quietnot immediately indignant, as she had -been on a like occasion in Rome. And the cause lay deep. She was no -longer struggling against the perception of facts, but adjusting -herself to their clearest perception; and now when she looked steadily -at her husbands failure, still more at his possible consciousness of -failure, she seemed to be looking along the one track where duty became -tenderness. Wills want of reticence might have been met with more -severity, if he had not already been recommended to her mercy by her -husbands dislike, which must seem hard to her till she saw better -reason for it. - -She did not answer at once, but after looking down ruminatingly she -said, with some earnestness, Mr. Casaubon must have overcome his -dislike of you so far as his actions were concerned: and that is -admirable. - -Yes; he has shown a sense of justice in family matters. It was an -abominable thing that my grandmother should have been disinherited -because she made what they called a _mesalliance_, though there was -nothing to be said against her husband except that he was a Polish -refugee who gave lessons for his bread. - -I wish I knew all about her! said Dorothea. I wonder how she bore -the change from wealth to poverty: I wonder whether she was happy with -her husband! Do you know much about them? - -No; only that my grandfather was a patriota bright fellowcould speak -many languagesmusicalgot his bread by teaching all sorts of things. -They both died rather early. And I never knew much of my father, beyond -what my mother told me; but he inherited the musical talents. I -remember his slow walk and his long thin hands; and one day remains -with me when he was lying ill, and I was very hungry, and had only a -little bit of bread. - -Ah, what a different life from mine! said Dorothea, with keen -interest, clasping her hands on her lap. I have always had too much of -everything. But tell me how it wasMr. Casaubon could not have known -about you then. - -No; but my father had made himself known to Mr. Casaubon, and that was -my last hungry day. My father died soon after, and my mother and I were -well taken care of. Mr. Casaubon always expressly recognized it as his -duty to take care of us because of the harsh injustice which had been -shown to his mothers sister. But now I am telling you what is not new -to you. - -In his inmost soul Will was conscious of wishing to tell Dorothea what -was rather new even in his own construction of thingsnamely, that Mr. -Casaubon had never done more than pay a debt towards him. Will was much -too good a fellow to be easy under the sense of being ungrateful. And -when gratitude has become a matter of reasoning there are many ways of -escaping from its bonds. - -No, answered Dorothea; Mr. Casaubon has always avoided dwelling on -his own honorable actions. She did not feel that her husbands conduct -was depreciated; but this notion of what justice had required in his -relations with Will Ladislaw took strong hold on her mind. After a -moments pause, she added, He had never told me that he supported your -mother. Is she still living? - -No; she died by an accidenta fallfour years ago. It is curious that -my mother, too, ran away from her family, but not for the sake of her -husband. She never would tell me anything about her family, except that -she forsook them to get her own livingwent on the stage, in fact. She -was a dark-eyed creature, with crisp ringlets, and never seemed to be -getting old. You see I come of rebellious blood on both sides, Will -ended, smiling brightly at Dorothea, while she was still looking with -serious intentness before her, like a child seeing a drama for the -first time. - -But her face, too, broke into a smile as she said, That is your -apology, I suppose, for having yourself been rather rebellious; I mean, -to Mr. Casaubons wishes. You must remember that you have not done what -he thought best for you. And if he dislikes youyou were speaking of -dislike a little while agobut I should rather say, if he has shown any -painful feelings towards you, you must consider how sensitive he has -become from the wearing effect of study. Perhaps, she continued, -getting into a pleading tone, my uncle has not told you how serious -Mr. Casaubons illness was. It would be very petty of us who are well -and can bear things, to think much of small offences from those who -carry a weight of trial. - -You teach me better, said Will. I will never grumble on that subject -again. There was a gentleness in his tone which came from the -unutterable contentment of perceivingwhat Dorothea was hardly -conscious ofthat she was travelling into the remoteness of pure pity -and loyalty towards her husband. Will was ready to adore her pity and -loyalty, if she would associate himself with her in manifesting them. -I have really sometimes been a perverse fellow, he went on, but I -will never again, if I can help it, do or say what you would -disapprove. - -That is very good of you, said Dorothea, with another open smile. I -shall have a little kingdom then, where I shall give laws. But you will -soon go away, out of my rule, I imagine. You will soon be tired of -staying at the Grange. - -That is a point I wanted to mention to youone of the reasons why I -wished to speak to you alone. Mr. Brooke proposes that I should stay in -this neighborhood. He has bought one of the Middlemarch newspapers, and -he wishes me to conduct that, and also to help him in other ways. - -Would not that be a sacrifice of higher prospects for you? said -Dorothea. - -Perhaps; but I have always been blamed for thinking of prospects, and -not settling to anything. And here is something offered to me. If you -would not like me to accept it, I will give it up. Otherwise I would -rather stay in this part of the country than go away. I belong to -nobody anywhere else. - -I should like you to stay very much, said Dorothea, at once, as -simply and readily as she had spoken at Rome. There was not the shadow -of a reason in her mind at the moment why she should not say so. - -Then I _will_ stay, said Ladislaw, shaking his head backward, rising -and going towards the window, as if to see whether the rain had ceased. - -But the next moment, Dorothea, according to a habit which was getting -continually stronger, began to reflect that her husband felt -differently from herself, and she colored deeply under the double -embarrassment of having expressed what might be in opposition to her -husbands feeling, and of having to suggest this opposition to Will. -His face was not turned towards her, and this made it easier to say - -But my opinion is of little consequence on such a subject. I think you -should be guided by Mr. Casaubon. I spoke without thinking of anything -else than my own feeling, which has nothing to do with the real -question. But it now occurs to meperhaps Mr. Casaubon might see that -the proposal was not wise. Can you not wait now and mention it to him? - -I cant wait to-day, said Will, inwardly seared by the possibility -that Mr. Casaubon would enter. The rain is quite over now. I told Mr. -Brooke not to call for me: I would rather walk the five miles. I shall -strike across Halsell Common, and see the gleams on the wet grass. I -like that. - -He approached her to shake hands quite hurriedly, longing but not -daring to say, Dont 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 dreadof 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. Casaubons 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. -Casaubons carriage, which, however, did not appear at the gate until -four oclock. 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 days 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 uncles 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. What is your opinion? she added, rather timidly, -after a slight pause. - -Did Mr. Ladislaw come on purpose to ask my opinion? said Mr. -Casaubon, opening his eyes narrowly with a knife-edged look at -Dorothea. She was really uncomfortable on the point he inquired about, -but she only became a little more serious, and her eyes did not swerve. - -No, she answered immediately, he did not say that he came to ask -your opinion. But when he mentioned the proposal, he of course expected -me to tell you of it. - -Mr. Casaubon was silent. - -I feared that you might feel some objection. But certainly a young man -with so much talent might be very useful to my unclemight help him to -do good in a better way. And Mr. Ladislaw wishes to have some fixed -occupation. He has been blamed, he says, for not seeking something of -that kind, and he would like to stay in this neighborhood because no -one cares for him elsewhere. - -Dorothea felt that this was a consideration to soften her husband. -However, he did not speak, and she presently recurred to Dr. Spanning -and the Archdeacons breakfast. But there was no longer sunshine on -these subjects. - -The next morning, without Dorotheas knowledge, Mr. Casaubon despatched -the following letter, beginning Dear Mr. Ladislaw (he had always -before addressed him as Will): - -Mrs. Casaubon informs me that a proposal has been made to you, and -(according to an inference by no means stretched) has on your part been -in some degree entertained, which involves your residence in this -neighborhood in a capacity which I am justified in saying touches my -own position in such a way as renders it not only natural and -warrantable in me when that effect is viewed under the influence of -legitimate feeling, but incumbent on me when the same effect is -considered in the light of my responsibilities, to state at once that -your acceptance of the proposal above indicated would be highly -offensive to me. That I have some claim to the exercise of a veto here, -would not, I believe, be denied by any reasonable person cognizant of -the relations between us: relations which, though thrown into the past -by your recent procedure, are not thereby annulled in their character -of determining antecedents. I will not here make reflections on any -persons judgment. It is enough for me to point out to yourself that -there are certain social fitnesses and proprieties which should hinder -a somewhat near relative of mine from becoming any wise conspicuous in -this vicinity in a status not only much beneath my own, but associated -at best with the sciolism of literary or political adventurers. At any -rate, the contrary issue must exclude you from further reception at my -house. - - -Yours faithfully, -EDWARD CASAUBON. - - -Meanwhile Dorotheas mind was innocently at work towards the further -embitterment of her husband; dwelling, with a sympathy that grew to -agitation, on what Will had told her about his parents and -grandparents. Any private hours in her day were usually spent in her -blue-green boudoir, and she had come to be very fond of its pallid -quaintness. Nothing had been outwardly altered there; but while the -summer had gradually advanced over the western fields beyond the avenue -of elms, the bare room had gathered within it those memories of an -inward life which fill the air as with a cloud of good or bad angels, -the invisible yet active forms of our spiritual triumphs or our -spiritual falls. She had been so used to struggle for and to find -resolve in looking along the avenue towards the arch of western light -that the vision itself had gained a communicating power. Even the pale -stag seemed to have reminding glances and to mean mutely, Yes, we -know. And the group of delicately touched miniatures had made an -audience as of beings no longer disturbed about their own earthly lot, -but still humanly interested. Especially the mysterious Aunt Julia -about whom Dorothea had never found it easy to question her husband. - -And now, since her conversation with Will, many fresh images had -gathered round that Aunt Julia who was Wills grandmother; the presence -of that delicate miniature, so like a living face that she knew, -helping to concentrate her feelings. What a wrong, to cut off the girl -from the family protection and inheritance only because she had chosen -a man who was poor! Dorothea, early troubling her elders with questions -about the facts around her, had wrought herself into some independent -clearness as to the historical, political reasons why eldest sons had -superior rights, and why land should be entailed: those reasons, -impressing her with a certain awe, might be weightier than she knew, -but here was a question of ties which left them uninfringed. Here was a -daughter whose childeven according to the ordinary aping of -aristocratic institutions by people who are no more aristocratic than -retired grocers, and who have no more land to keep together than a -lawn and a paddockwould have a prior claim. Was inheritance a question -of liking or of responsibility? All the energy of Dorotheas nature -went on the side of responsibilitythe fulfilment of claims founded on -our own deeds, such as marriage and parentage. - -It was true, she said to herself, that Mr. Casaubon had a debt to the -Ladislawsthat he had to pay back what the Ladislaws had been wronged -of. And now she began to think of her husbands will, which had been -made at the time of their marriage, leaving the bulk of his property to -her, with proviso in case of her having children. That ought to be -altered; and no time ought to be lost. This very question which had -just arisen about Will Ladislaws occupation, was the occasion for -placing things on a new, right footing. Her husband, she felt sure, -according to all his previous conduct, would be ready to take the just -view, if she proposed itshe, in whose interest an unfair concentration -of the property had been urged. His sense of right had surmounted and -would continue to surmount anything that might be called antipathy. She -suspected that her uncles scheme was disapproved by Mr. Casaubon, and -this made it seem all the more opportune that a fresh understanding -should be begun, so that instead of Wills starting penniless and -accepting the first function that offered itself, he should find -himself in possession of a rightful income which should be paid by her -husband during his life, and, by an immediate alteration of the will, -should be secured at his death. The vision of all this as what ought to -be done seemed to Dorothea like a sudden letting in of daylight, waking -her from her previous stupidity and incurious self-absorbed ignorance -about her husbands relation to others. Will Ladislaw had refused Mr. -Casaubons future aid on a ground that no longer appeared right to her; -and Mr. Casaubon had never himself seen fully what was the claim upon -him. But he will! said Dorothea. The great strength of his character -lies here. And what are we doing with our money? We make no use of half -of our income. My own money buys me nothing but an uneasy conscience. - -There was a peculiar fascination for Dorothea in this division of -property intended for herself, and always regarded by her as excessive. -She was blind, you see, to many things obvious to otherslikely to -tread in the wrong places, as Celia had warned her; yet her blindness -to whatever did not lie in her own pure purpose carried her safely by -the side of precipices where vision would have been perilous with fear. - -The thoughts which had gathered vividness in the solitude of her -boudoir occupied her incessantly through the day on which Mr. Casaubon -had sent his letter to Will. Everything seemed hindrance to her till -she could find an opportunity of opening her heart to her husband. To -his preoccupied mind all subjects were to be approached gently, and she -had never since his illness lost from her consciousness the dread of -agitating him. But when young ardor is set brooding over the conception -of a prompt deed, the deed itself seems to start forth with independent -life, mastering ideal obstacles. The day passed in a sombre fashion, -not unusual, though Mr. Casaubon was perhaps unusually silent; but -there were hours of the night which might be counted on as -opportunities of conversation; for Dorothea, when aware of her -husbands sleeplessness, had established a habit of rising, lighting a -candle, and reading him to sleep again. And this night she was from the -beginning sleepless, excited by resolves. He slept as usual for a few -hours, but she had risen softly and had sat in the darkness for nearly -an hour before he said - -Dorothea, since you are up, will you light a candle? - -Do you feel ill, dear? was her first question, as she obeyed him. - -No, not at all; but I shall be obliged, since you are up, if you will -read me a few pages of Lowth. - -May I talk to you a little instead? said Dorothea. - -Certainly. - -I have been thinking about money all daythat I have always had too -much, and especially the prospect of too much. - -These, my dear Dorothea, are providential arrangements. - -But if one has too much in consequence of others being wronged, it -seems to me that the divine voice which tells us to set that wrong -right must be obeyed. - -What, my love, is the bearing of your remark? - -That you have been too liberal in arrangements for meI mean, with -regard to property; and that makes me unhappy. - -How so? I have none but comparatively distant connections. - -I have been led to think about your aunt Julia, and how she was left -in poverty only because she married a poor man, an act which was not -disgraceful, since he was not unworthy. It was on that ground, I know, -that you educated Mr. Ladislaw and provided for his mother. - -Dorothea waited a few moments for some answer that would help her -onward. None came, and her next words seemed the more forcible to her, -falling clear upon the dark silence. - -But surely we should regard his claim as a much greater one, even to -the half of that property which I know that you have destined for me. -And I think he ought at once to be provided for on that understanding. -It is not right that he should be in the dependence of poverty while we -are rich. And if there is any objection to the proposal he mentioned, -the giving him his true place and his true share would set aside any -motive for his accepting it. - -Mr. Ladislaw has probably been speaking to you on this subject? said -Mr. Casaubon, with a certain biting quickness not habitual to him. - -Indeed, no! said Dorothea, earnestly. How can you imagine it, since -he has so lately declined everything from you? I fear you think too -hardly of him, dear. He only told me a little about his parents and -grandparents, and almost all in answer to my questions. You are so -good, so justyou have done everything you thought to be right. But it -seems to me clear that more than that is right; and I must speak about -it, since I am the person who would get what is called benefit by that -more not being done. - -There was a perceptible pause before Mr. Casaubon replied, not quickly -as before, but with a still more biting emphasis. - -Dorothea, my love, this is not the first occasion, but it were well -that it should be the last, on which you have assumed a judgment on -subjects beyond your scope. Into the question how far conduct, -especially in the matter of alliances, constitutes a forfeiture of -family claims, I do not now enter. Suffice it, that you are not here -qualified to discriminate. What I now wish you to understand is, that I -accept no revision, still less dictation within that range of affairs -which I have deliberated upon as distinctly and properly mine. It is -not for you to interfere between me and Mr. Ladislaw, and still less to -encourage communications from him to you which constitute a criticism -on my procedure. - -Poor Dorothea, shrouded in the darkness, was in a tumult of conflicting -emotions. Alarm at the possible effect on himself of her husbands -strongly manifested anger, would have checked any expression of her own -resentment, even if she had been quite free from doubt and compunction -under the consciousness that there might be some justice in his last -insinuation. Hearing him breathe quickly after he had spoken, she sat -listening, frightened, wretchedwith a dumb inward cry for help to bear -this nightmare of a life in which every energy was arrested by dread. -But nothing else happened, except that they both remained a long while -sleepless, without speaking again. - -The next day, Mr. Casaubon received the following answer from Will -Ladislaw: - -DEAR MR. CASAUBON,I have given all due consideration to your letter -of yesterday, but I am unable to take precisely your view of our mutual -position. With the fullest acknowledgment of your generous conduct to -me in the past, I must still maintain that an obligation of this kind -cannot fairly fetter me as you appear to expect that it should. Granted -that a benefactors wishes may constitute a claim; there must always be -a reservation as to the quality of those wishes. They may possibly -clash with more imperative considerations. Or a benefactors veto might -impose such a negation on a mans life that the consequent blank might -be more cruel than the benefaction was generous. I am merely using -strong illustrations. In the present case I am unable to take your view -of the bearing which my acceptance of occupationnot enriching -certainly, but not dishonorablewill have on your own position which -seems to me too substantial to be affected in that shadowy manner. And -though I do not believe that any change in our relations will occur -(certainly none has yet occurred) which can nullify the obligations -imposed on me by the past, pardon me for not seeing that those -obligations should restrain me from using the ordinary freedom of -living where I choose, and maintaining myself by any lawful occupation -I may choose. Regretting that there exists this difference between us -as to a relation in which the conferring of benefits has been entirely -on your side - - -I remain, yours with persistent obligation, -WILL LADISLAW. - - -Poor Mr. Casaubon felt (and must not we, being impartial, feel with him -a little?) that no man had juster cause for disgust and suspicion than -he. Young Ladislaw, he was sure, meant to defy and annoy him, meant to -win Dorotheas confidence and sow her mind with disrespect, and perhaps -aversion, towards her husband. Some motive beneath the surface had been -needed to account for Wills sudden change of course in rejecting Mr. -Casaubons aid and quitting his travels; and this defiant determination -to fix himself in the neighborhood by taking up something so much at -variance with his former choice as Mr. Brookes Middlemarch projects, -revealed clearly enough that the undeclared motive had relation to -Dorothea. Not for one moment did Mr. Casaubon suspect Dorothea of any -doubleness: he had no suspicions of her, but he had (what was little -less uncomfortable) the positive knowledge that her tendency to form -opinions about her husbands conduct was accompanied with a disposition -to regard Will Ladislaw favorably and be influenced by what he said. -His own proud reticence had prevented him from ever being undeceived in -the supposition that Dorothea had originally asked her uncle to invite -Will to his house. - -And now, on receiving Wills letter, Mr. Casaubon had to consider his -duty. He would never have been easy to call his action anything else -than duty; but in this case, contending motives thrust him back into -negations. - -Should he apply directly to Mr. Brooke, and demand of that troublesome -gentleman to revoke his proposal? Or should he consult Sir James -Chettam, and get him to concur in remonstrance against a step which -touched the whole family? In either case Mr. Casaubon was aware that -failure was just as probable as success. It was impossible for him to -mention Dorotheas name in the matter, and without some alarming -urgency Mr. Brooke was as likely as not, after meeting all -representations with apparent assent, to wind up by saying, Never -fear, Casaubon! Depend upon it, young Ladislaw will do you credit. -Depend upon it, I have put my finger on the right thing. And Mr. -Casaubon shrank nervously from communicating on the subject with Sir -James Chettam, between whom and himself there had never been any -cordiality, and who would immediately think of Dorothea without any -mention of her. - -Poor Mr. Casaubon was distrustful of everybodys feeling towards him, -especially as a husband. To let any one suppose that he was jealous -would be to admit their (suspected) view of his disadvantages: to let -them know that he did not find marriage particularly blissful would -imply his conversion to their (probably) earlier disapproval. It would -be as bad as letting Carp, and Brasenose generally, know how backward -he was in organizing the matter for his Key to all Mythologies. All -through his life Mr. Casaubon had been trying not to admit even to -himself the inward sores of self-doubt and jealousy. And on the most -delicate of all personal subjects, the habit of proud suspicious -reticence told doubly. - -Thus Mr. Casaubon remained proudly, bitterly silent. But he had -forbidden Will to come to Lowick Manor, and he was mentally preparing -other measures of frustration. - - - - -CHAPTER XXXVIII. - -Cest beaucoup que le jugement des hommes sur les actions humaines; -tt ou tard il devient efficace.GUIZOT. - - -Sir James Chettam could not look with any satisfaction on Mr. Brookes -new courses; but it was easier to object than to hinder. Sir James -accounted for his having come in alone one day to lunch with the -Cadwalladers by saying - -I cant talk to you as I want, before Celia: it might hurt her. -Indeed, it would not be right. - -I know what you meanthe Pioneer at the Grange! darted in Mrs. -Cadwallader, almost before the last word was off her friends tongue. -It is frightfulthis taking to buying whistles and blowing them in -everybodys hearing. Lying in bed all day and playing at dominoes, like -poor Lord Plessy, would be more private and bearable. - -I see they are beginning to attack our friend Brooke in the -Trumpet, said the Rector, lounging back and smiling easily, as he -would have done if he had been attacked himself. There are tremendous -sarcasms against a landlord not a hundred miles from Middlemarch, who -receives his own rents, and makes no returns. - -I do wish Brooke would leave that off, said Sir James, with his -little frown of annoyance. - -Is he really going to be put in nomination, though? said Mr. -Cadwallader. I saw Farebrother yesterdayhes Whiggish himself, hoists -Brougham and Useful Knowledge; thats the worst I know of him;and he -says that Brooke is getting up a pretty strong party. Bulstrode, the -banker, is his foremost man. But he thinks Brooke would come off badly -at a nomination. - -Exactly, said Sir James, with earnestness. I have been inquiring -into the thing, for Ive never known anything about Middlemarch -politics beforethe county being my business. What Brooke trusts to, is -that they are going to turn out Oliver because he is a Peelite. But -Hawley tells me that if they send up a Whig at all it is sure to be -Bagster, one of those candidates who come from heaven knows where, but -dead against Ministers, and an experienced Parliamentary man. Hawleys -rather rough: he forgot that he was speaking to me. He said if Brooke -wanted a pelting, he could get it cheaper than by going to the -hustings. - -I warned you all of it, said Mrs. Cadwallader, waving her hands -outward. I said to Humphrey long ago, Mr. Brooke is going to make a -splash in the mud. And now he has done it. - -Well, he might have taken it into his head to marry, said the Rector. -That would have been a graver mess than a little flirtation with -politics. - -He may do that afterwards, said Mrs. Cadwalladerwhen he has come -out on the other side of the mud with an ague. - -What I care for most is his own dignity, said Sir James. Of course I -care the more because of the family. But hes getting on in life now, -and I dont like to think of his exposing himself. They will be raking -up everything against him. - -I suppose its no use trying any persuasion, said the Rector. -Theres such an odd mixture of obstinacy and changeableness in Brooke. -Have you tried him on the subject? - -Well, no, said Sir James; I feel a delicacy in appearing to dictate. -But I have been talking to this young Ladislaw that Brooke is making a -factotum of. Ladislaw seems clever enough for anything. I thought it as -well to hear what he had to say; and he is against Brookes standing -this time. I think hell turn him round: I think the nomination may be -staved off. - -I know, said Mrs. Cadwallader, nodding. The independent member -hasnt got his speeches well enough by heart. - -But this Ladislawthere again is a vexatious business, said Sir -James. We have had him two or three times to dine at the Hall (you -have met him, by the bye) as Brookes guest and a relation of -Casaubons, thinking he was only on a flying visit. And now I find hes -in everybodys mouth in Middlemarch as the editor of the Pioneer. -There are stories going about him as a quill-driving alien, a foreign -emissary, and what not. - -Casaubon wont like that, said the Rector. - -There _is_ some foreign blood in Ladislaw, returned Sir James. I -hope he wont go into extreme opinions and carry Brooke on. - -Oh, hes a dangerous young sprig, that Mr. Ladislaw, said Mrs. -Cadwallader, with his opera songs and his ready tongue. A sort of -Byronic heroan amorous conspirator, it strikes me. And Thomas Aquinas -is not fond of him. I could see that, the day the picture was brought. - -I dont like to begin on the subject with Casaubon, said Sir James. -He has more right to interfere than I. But its a disagreeable affair -all round. What a character for anybody with decent connections to show -himself in!one of those newspaper fellows! You have only to look at -Keck, who manages the Trumpet. I saw him the other day with Hawley. -His writing is sound enough, I believe, but hes such a low fellow, -that I wished he had been on the wrong side. - -What can you expect with these peddling Middlemarch papers? said the -Rector. I dont suppose you could get a high style of man anywhere to -be writing up interests he doesnt really care about, and for pay that -hardly keeps him in at elbows. - -Exactly: that makes it so annoying that Brooke should have put a man -who has a sort of connection with the family in a position of that -kind. For my part, I think Ladislaw is rather a fool for accepting. - -It is Aquinass fault, said Mrs. Cadwallader. Why didnt he use his -interest to get Ladislaw made an _attache_ or sent to India? That is -how families get rid of troublesome sprigs. - -There is no knowing to what lengths the mischief may go, said Sir -James, anxiously. But if Casaubon says nothing, what can I do? - -Oh my dear Sir James, said the Rector, dont let us make too much of -all this. It is likely enough to end in mere smoke. After a month or -two Brooke and this Master Ladislaw will get tired of each other; -Ladislaw will take wing; Brooke will sell the Pioneer, and everything -will settle down again as usual. - -There is one good chancethat he will not like to feel his money -oozing away, said Mrs. Cadwallader. If I knew the items of election -expenses I could scare him. Its no use plying him with wide words like -Expenditure: I wouldnt talk of phlebotomy, I would empty a pot of -leeches upon him. What we good stingy people dont like, is having our -sixpences sucked away from us. - -And he will not like having things raked up against him, said Sir -James. There is the management of his estate. They have begun upon -that already. And it really is painful for me to see. It is a nuisance -under ones very nose. I do think one is bound to do the best for ones -land and tenants, especially in these hard times. - -Perhaps the Trumpet may rouse him to make a change, and some good -may come of it all, said the Rector. I know I should be glad. I -should hear less grumbling when my tithe is paid. I dont know what I -should do if there were not a modus in Tipton. - -I want him to have a proper man to look after thingsI want him to -take on Garth again, said Sir James. He got rid of Garth twelve years -ago, and everything has been going wrong since. I think of getting -Garth to manage for mehe has made such a capital plan for my -buildings; and Lovegood is hardly up to the mark. But Garth would not -undertake the Tipton estate again unless Brooke left it entirely to -him. - -In the right of it too, said the Rector. Garth is an independent -fellow: an original, simple-minded fellow. One day, when he was doing -some valuation for me, he told me point-blank that clergymen seldom -understood anything about business, and did mischief when they meddled; -but he said it as quietly and respectfully as if he had been talking to -me about sailors. He would make a different parish of Tipton, if Brooke -would let him manage. I wish, by the help of the Trumpet, you could -bring that round. - -If Dorothea had kept near her uncle, there would have been some -chance, said Sir James. She might have got some power over him in -time, and she was always uneasy about the estate. She had wonderfully -good notions about such things. But now Casaubon takes her up entirely. -Celia complains a good deal. We can hardly get her to dine with us, -since he had that fit. Sir James ended with a look of pitying disgust, -and Mrs. Cadwallader shrugged her shoulders as much as to say that -_she_ was not likely to see anything new in that direction. - -Poor Casaubon! the Rector said. That was a nasty attack. I thought -he looked shattered the other day at the Archdeacons. - -In point of fact, resumed Sir James, not choosing to dwell on fits, -Brooke doesnt mean badly by his tenants or any one else, but he has -got that way of paring and clipping at expenses. - -Come, thats a blessing, said Mrs. Cadwallader. That helps him to -find himself in a morning. He may not know his own opinions, but he -does know his own pocket. - -I dont believe a man is in pocket by stinginess on his land, said -Sir James. - -Oh, stinginess may be abused like other virtues: it will not do to -keep ones own pigs lean, said Mrs. Cadwallader, who had risen to look -out of the window. But talk of an independent politician and he will -appear. - -What! Brooke? said her husband. - -Yes. Now, you ply him with the Trumpet, Humphrey; and I will put the -leeches on him. What will you do, Sir James? - -The fact is, I dont like to begin about it with Brooke, in our mutual -position; the whole thing is so unpleasant. I do wish people would -behave like gentlemen, said the good baronet, feeling that this was a -simple and comprehensive programme for social well-being. - -Here you all are, eh? said Mr. Brooke, shuffling round and shaking -hands. I was going up to the Hall by-and-by, Chettam. But its -pleasant to find everybody, you know. Well, what do you think of -things?going on a little fast! It was true enough, what Lafitte -saidSince yesterday, a century has passed away:theyre in the next -century, you know, on the other side of the water. Going on faster than -we are. - -Why, yes, said the Rector, taking up the newspaper. Here is the -Trumpet accusing you of lagging behinddid you see? - -Eh? no, said Mr. Brooke, dropping his gloves into his hat and hastily -adjusting his eye-glass. But Mr. Cadwallader kept the paper in his -hand, saying, with a smile in his eyes - -Look here! all this is about a landlord not a hundred miles from -Middlemarch, who receives his own rents. They say he is the most -retrogressive man in the county. I think you must have taught them that -word in the Pioneer. - -Oh, that is Keckan illiterate fellow, you know. Retrogressive, now! -Come, thats capital. He thinks it means destructive: they want to make -me out a destructive, you know, said Mr. Brooke, with that -cheerfulness which is usually sustained by an adversarys ignorance. - -I think he knows the meaning of the word. Here is a sharp stroke or -two. _If we had to describe a man who is retrogressive in the most evil -sense of the wordwe should say, he is one who would dub himself a -reformer of our constitution, while every interest for which he is -immediately responsible is going to decay: a philanthropist who cannot -bear one rogue to be hanged, but does not mind five honest tenants -being half-starved: a man who shrieks at corruption, and keeps his -farms at rack-rent: who roars himself red at rotten boroughs, and does -not mind if every field on his farms has a rotten gate: a man very -open-hearted to Leeds and Manchester, no doubt; he would give any -number of representatives who will pay for their seats out of their own -pockets: what he objects to giving, is a little return on rent-days to -help a tenant to buy stock, or an outlay on repairs to keep the weather -out at a tenants barn-door or make his house look a little less like -an Irish cottiers. But we all know the wags definition of a -philanthropist: a man whose charity increases directly as the square of -the distance._ And so on. All the rest is to show what sort of -legislator a philanthropist is likely to make, ended the Rector, -throwing down the paper, and clasping his hands at the back of his -head, while he looked at Mr. Brooke with an air of amused neutrality. - -Come, thats rather good, you know, said Mr. Brooke, taking up the -paper and trying to bear the attack as easily as his neighbor did, but -coloring and smiling rather nervously; that about roaring himself red -at rotten boroughsI never made a speech about rotten boroughs in my -life. And as to roaring myself red and that kind of thingthese men -never understand what is good satire. Satire, you know, should be true -up to a certain point. I recollect they said that in The Edinburgh -somewhereit must be true up to a certain point. - -Well, that is really a hit about the gates, said Sir James, anxious -to tread carefully. Dagley complained to me the other day that he -hadnt got a decent gate on his farm. Garth has invented a new pattern -of gateI wish you would try it. One ought to use some of ones timber -in that way. - -You go in for fancy farming, you know, Chettam, said Mr. Brooke, -appearing to glance over the columns of the Trumpet. Thats your -hobby, and you dont mind the expense. - -I thought the most expensive hobby in the world was standing for -Parliament, said Mrs. Cadwallader. They said the last unsuccessful -candidate at MiddlemarchGiles, wasnt his name?spent ten thousand -pounds and failed because he did not bribe enough. What a bitter -reflection for a man! - -Somebody was saying, said the Rector, laughingly, that East Retford -was nothing to Middlemarch, for bribery. - -Nothing of the kind, said Mr. Brooke. The Tories bribe, you know: -Hawley and his set bribe with treating, hot codlings, and that sort of -thing; and they bring the voters drunk to the poll. But they are not -going to have it their own way in futurenot in future, you know. -Middlemarch is a little backward, I admitthe freemen are a little -backward. But we shall educate themwe shall bring them on, you know. -The best people there are on our side. - -Hawley says you have men on your side who will do you harm, remarked -Sir James. He says Bulstrode the banker will do you harm. - -And that if you got pelted, interposed Mrs. Cadwallader, half the -rotten eggs would mean hatred of your committee-man. Good heavens! -Think what it must be to be pelted for wrong opinions. And I seem to -remember a story of a man they pretended to chair and let him fall into -a dust-heap on purpose! - -Pelting is nothing to their finding holes in ones coat, said the -Rector. I confess thats what I should be afraid of, if we parsons had -to stand at the hustings for preferment. I should be afraid of their -reckoning up all my fishing days. Upon my word, I think the truth is -the hardest missile one can be pelted with. - -The fact is, said Sir James, if a man goes into public life he must -be prepared for the consequences. He must make himself proof against -calumny. - -My dear Chettam, that is all very fine, you know, said Mr. Brooke. -But how will you make yourself proof against calumny? You should read -historylook at ostracism, persecution, martyrdom, and that kind of -thing. They always happen to the best men, you know. But what is that -in Horace?_fiat justitia, ruat_ something or other. - -Exactly, said Sir James, with a little more heat than usual. What I -mean by being proof against calumny is being able to point to the fact -as a contradiction. - -And it is not martyrdom to pay bills that one has run into ones -self, said Mrs. Cadwallader. - -But it was Sir Jamess evident annoyance that most stirred Mr. Brooke. -Well, you know, Chettam, he said, rising, taking up his hat and -leaning on his stick, you and I have a different system. You are all -for outlay with your farms. I dont want to make out that my system is -good under all circumstancesunder all circumstances, you know. - -There ought to be a new valuation made from time to time, said Sir -James. Returns are very well occasionally, but I like a fair -valuation. What do you say, Cadwallader? - -I agree with you. If I were Brooke, I would choke the Trumpet at -once by getting Garth to make a new valuation of the farms, and giving -him _carte blanche_ about gates and repairs: thats my view of the -political situation, said the Rector, broadening himself by sticking -his thumbs in his armholes, and laughing towards Mr. Brooke. - -Thats a showy sort of thing to do, you know, said Mr. Brooke. But I -should like you to tell me of another landlord who has distressed his -tenants for arrears as little as I have. I let the old tenants stay on. -Im uncommonly easy, let me tell you, uncommonly easy. I have my own -ideas, and I take my stand on them, you know. A man who does that is -always charged with eccentricity, inconsistency, and that kind of -thing. When I change my line of action, I shall follow my own ideas. - -After that, Mr. Brooke remembered that there was a packet which he had -omitted to send off from the Grange, and he bade everybody hurriedly -good-by. - -I didnt want to take a liberty with Brooke, said Sir James; I see -he is nettled. But as to what he says about old tenants, in point of -fact no new tenant would take the farms on the present terms. - -I have a notion that he will be brought round in time, said the -Rector. But you were pulling one way, Elinor, and we were pulling -another. You wanted to frighten him away from expense, and we want to -frighten him into it. Better let him try to be popular and see that his -character as a landlord stands in his way. I dont think it signifies -two straws about the Pioneer, or Ladislaw, or Brookes speechifying -to the Middlemarchers. But it does signify about the parishioners in -Tipton being comfortable. - -Excuse me, it is you two who are on the wrong tack, said Mrs. -Cadwallader. You should have proved to him that he loses money by bad -management, and then we should all have pulled together. If you put him -a-horseback on politics, I warn you of the consequences. It was all -very well to ride on sticks at home and call them ideas. - - - - -CHAPTER XXXIX. - -If, as I have, you also doe, - Vertue attired in woman see, -And dare love that, and say so too, - And forget the He and She; - -And if this love, though placed so, - From prophane men you hide, -Which will no faith on this bestow, - Or, if they doe, deride: - -Then you have done a braver thing - Than all the Worthies did, -And a braver thence will spring, - Which is, to keep that hid. -DR. DONNE. - - -Sir James Chettams mind was not fruitful in devices, but his growing -anxiety to act on Brooke, once brought close to his constant belief -in Dorotheas capacity for influence, became formative, and issued in a -little plan; namely, to plead Celias indisposition as a reason for -fetching Dorothea by herself to the Hall, and to leave her at the -Grange with the carriage on the way, after making her fully aware of -the situation concerning the management of the estate. - -In this way it happened that one day near four oclock, when Mr. Brooke -and Ladislaw were seated in the library, the door opened and Mrs. -Casaubon was announced. - -Will, the moment before, had been low in the depths of boredom, and, -obliged to help Mr. Brooke in arranging documents about hanging -sheep-stealers, was exemplifying the power our minds have of riding -several horses at once by inwardly arranging measures towards getting a -lodging for himself in Middlemarch and cutting short his constant -residence at the Grange; while there flitted through all these steadier -images a tickling vision of a sheep-stealing epic written with Homeric -particularity. When Mrs. Casaubon was announced he started up as from -an electric shock, and felt a tingling at his finger-ends. Any one -observing him would have seen a change in his complexion, in the -adjustment of his facial muscles, in the vividness of his glance, which -might have made them imagine that every molecule in his body had passed -the message of a magic touch. And so it had. For effective magic is -transcendent nature; and who shall measure the subtlety of those -touches which convey the quality of soul as well as body, and make a -mans passion for one woman differ from his passion for another as joy -in the morning light over valley and river and white mountain-top -differs from joy among Chinese lanterns and glass panels? Will, too, -was made of very impressible stuff. The bow of a violin drawn near him -cleverly, would at one stroke change the aspect of the world for him, -and his point of view shifted as easily as his mood. Dorotheas -entrance was the freshness of morning. - -Well, my dear, this is pleasant, now, said Mr. Brooke, meeting and -kissing her. You have left Casaubon with his books, I suppose. Thats -right. We must not have you getting too learned for a woman, you know. - -There is no fear of that, uncle, said Dorothea, turning to Will and -shaking hands with open cheerfulness, while she made no other form of -greeting, but went on answering her uncle. I am very slow. When I want -to be busy with books, I am often playing truant among my thoughts. I -find it is not so easy to be learned as to plan cottages. - -She seated herself beside her uncle opposite to Will, and was evidently -preoccupied with something that made her almost unmindful of him. He -was ridiculously disappointed, as if he had imagined that her coming -had anything to do with him. - -Why, yes, my dear, it was quite your hobby to draw plans. But it was -good to break that off a little. Hobbies are apt to run away with us, -you know; it doesnt do to be run away with. We must keep the reins. I -have never let myself be run away with; I always pulled up. That is -what I tell Ladislaw. He and I are alike, you know: he likes to go into -everything. We are working at capital punishment. We shall do a great -deal together, Ladislaw and I. - -Yes, said Dorothea, with characteristic directness, Sir James has -been telling me that he is in hope of seeing a great change made soon -in your management of the estatethat you are thinking of having the -farms valued, and repairs made, and the cottages improved, so that -Tipton may look quite another place. Oh, how happy!she went on, -clasping her hands, with a return to that more childlike impetuous -manner, which had been subdued since her marriage. If I were at home -still, I should take to riding again, that I might go about with you -and see all that! And you are going to engage Mr. Garth, who praised my -cottages, Sir James says. - -Chettam is a little hasty, my dear, said Mr. Brooke, coloring -slightly; a little hasty, you know. I never said I should do anything -of the kind. I never said I should _not_ do it, you know. - -He only feels confident that you will do it, said Dorothea, in a -voice as clear and unhesitating as that of a young chorister chanting a -credo, because you mean to enter Parliament as a member who cares for -the improvement of the people, and one of the first things to be made -better is the state of the land and the laborers. Think of Kit Downes, -uncle, who lives with his wife and seven children in a house with one -sitting room and one bedroom hardly larger than this table!and those -poor Dagleys, in their tumble-down farmhouse, where they live in the -back kitchen and leave the other rooms to the rats! That is one reason -why I did not like the pictures here, dear unclewhich you think me -stupid about. I used to come from the village with all that dirt and -coarse ugliness like a pain within me, and the simpering pictures in -the drawing-room seemed to me like a wicked attempt to find delight in -what is false, while we dont mind how hard the truth is for the -neighbors outside our walls. I think we have no right to come forward -and urge wider changes for good, until we have tried to alter the evils -which lie under our own hands. - -Dorothea had gathered emotion as she went on, and had forgotten -everything except the relief of pouring forth her feelings, unchecked: -an experience once habitual with her, but hardly ever present since her -marriage, which had been a perpetual struggle of energy with fear. For -the moment, Wills admiration was accompanied with a chilling sense of -remoteness. A man is seldom ashamed of feeling that he cannot love a -woman so well when he sees a certain greatness in her: nature having -intended greatness for men. But nature has sometimes made sad -oversights in carrying out her intention; as in the case of good Mr. -Brooke, whose masculine consciousness was at this moment in rather a -stammering condition under the eloquence of his niece. He could not -immediately find any other mode of expressing himself than that of -rising, fixing his eye-glass, and fingering the papers before him. At -last he said - -There is something in what you say, my dear, something in what you -saybut not everythingeh, Ladislaw? You and I dont like our pictures -and statues being found fault with. Young ladies are a little ardent, -you knowa little one-sided, my dear. Fine art, poetry, that kind of -thing, elevates a nation_emollit mores_you understand a little Latin -now. Buteh? what? - -These interrogatives were addressed to the footman who had come in to -say that the keeper had found one of Dagleys boys with a leveret in -his hand just killed. - -Ill come, Ill come. I shall let him off easily, you know, said Mr. -Brooke aside to Dorothea, shuffling away very cheerfully. - -I hope you feel how right this change is that Ithat Sir James wishes -for, said Dorothea to Will, as soon as her uncle was gone. - -I do, now I have heard you speak about it. I shall not forget what you -have said. But can you think of something else at this moment? I may -not have another opportunity of speaking to you about what has -occurred, said Will, rising with a movement of impatience, and holding -the back of his chair with both hands. - -Pray tell me what it is, said Dorothea, anxiously, also rising and -going to the open window, where Monk was looking in, panting and -wagging his tail. She leaned her back against the window-frame, and -laid her hand on the dogs head; for though, as we know, she was not -fond of pets that must be held in the hands or trodden on, she was -always attentive to the feelings of dogs, and very polite if she had to -decline their advances. - -Will followed her only with his eyes and said, I presume you know that -Mr. Casaubon has forbidden me to go to his house. - -No, I did not, said Dorothea, after a moments pause. She was -evidently much moved. I am very, very sorry, she added, mournfully. -She was thinking of what Will had no knowledge ofthe conversation -between her and her husband in the darkness; and she was anew smitten -with hopelessness that she could influence Mr. Casaubons action. But -the marked expression of her sorrow convinced Will that it was not all -given to him personally, and that Dorothea had not been visited by the -idea that Mr. Casaubons dislike and jealousy of him turned upon -herself. He felt an odd mixture of delight and vexation: of delight -that he could dwell and be cherished in her thought as in a pure home, -without suspicion and without stintof vexation because he was of too -little account with her, was not formidable enough, was treated with an -unhesitating benevolence which did not flatter him. But his dread of -any change in Dorothea was stronger than his discontent, and he began -to speak again in a tone of mere explanation. - -Mr. Casaubons reason is, his displeasure at my taking a position here -which he considers unsuited to my rank as his cousin. I have told him -that I cannot give way on this point. It is a little too hard on me to -expect that my course in life is to be hampered by prejudices which I -think ridiculous. Obligation may be stretched till it is no better than -a brand of slavery stamped on us when we were too young to know its -meaning. I would not have accepted the position if I had not meant to -make it useful and honorable. I am not bound to regard family dignity -in any other light. - -Dorothea felt wretched. She thought her husband altogether in the -wrong, on more grounds than Will had mentioned. - -It is better for us not to speak on the subject, she said, with a -tremulousness not common in her voice, since you and Mr. Casaubon -disagree. You intend to remain? She was looking out on the lawn, with -melancholy meditation. - -Yes; but I shall hardly ever see you now, said Will, in a tone of -almost boyish complaint. - -No, said Dorothea, turning her eyes full upon him, hardly ever. But -I shall hear of you. I shall know what you are doing for my uncle. - -I shall know hardly anything about you, said Will. No one will tell -me anything. - -Oh, my life is very simple, said Dorothea, her lips curling with an -exquisite smile, which irradiated her melancholy. I am always at -Lowick. - -That is a dreadful imprisonment, said Will, impetuously. - -No, dont think that, said Dorothea. I have no longings. - -He did not speak, but she replied to some change in his expression. I -mean, for myself. Except that I should like not to have so much more -than my share without doing anything for others. But I have a belief of -my own, and it comforts me. - -What is that? said Will, rather jealous of the belief. - -That by desiring what is perfectly good, even when we dont quite know -what it is and cannot do what we would, we are part of the divine power -against evilwidening the skirts of light and making the struggle with -darkness narrower. - -That is a beautiful mysticismit is a - -Please not to call it by any name, said Dorothea, putting out her -hands entreatingly. You will say it is Persian, or something else -geographical. It is my life. I have found it out, and cannot part with -it. I have always been finding out my religion since I was a little -girl. I used to pray so muchnow I hardly ever pray. I try not to have -desires merely for myself, because they may not be good for others, and -I have too much already. I only told you, that you might know quite -well how my days go at Lowick. - -God bless you for telling me! said Will, ardently, and rather -wondering at himself. They were looking at each other like two fond -children who were talking confidentially of birds. - -What is _your_ religion? said Dorothea. I meannot what you know -about religion, but the belief that helps you most? - -To love what is good and beautiful when I see it, said Will. But I -am a rebel: I dont feel bound, as you do, to submit to what I dont -like. - -But if you like what is good, that comes to the same thing, said -Dorothea, smiling. - -Now you are subtle, said Will. - -Yes; Mr. Casaubon often says I am too subtle. I dont feel as if I -were subtle, said Dorothea, playfully. But how long my uncle is! I -must go and look for him. I must really go on to the Hall. Celia is -expecting me. - -Will offered to tell Mr. Brooke, who presently came and said that he -would step into the carriage and go with Dorothea as far as Dagleys, -to speak about the small delinquent who had been caught with the -leveret. Dorothea renewed the subject of the estate as they drove -along, but Mr. Brooke, not being taken unawares, got the talk under his -own control. - -Chettam, now, he replied; he finds fault with me, my dear; but I -should not preserve my game if it were not for Chettam, and he cant -say that that expense is for the sake of the tenants, you know. Its a -little against my feeling:poaching, now, if you come to look into itI -have often thought of getting up the subject. Not long ago, Flavell, -the Methodist preacher, was brought up for knocking down a hare that -came across his path when he and his wife were walking out together. He -was pretty quick, and knocked it on the neck. - -That was very brutal, I think, said Dorothea. - -Well, now, it seemed rather black to me, I confess, in a Methodist -preacher, you know. And Johnson said, You may judge what a hypo_crite_ -he is. And upon my word, I thought Flavell looked very little like -the highest style of manas somebody calls the ChristianYoung, the -poet Young, I thinkyou know Young? Well, now, Flavell in his shabby -black gaiters, pleading that he thought the Lord had sent him and his -wife a good dinner, and he had a right to knock it down, though not a -mighty hunter before the Lord, as Nimrod wasI assure you it was rather -comic: Fielding would have made something of itor Scott, nowScott -might have worked it up. But really, when I came to think of it, I -couldnt help liking that the fellow should have a bit of hare to say -grace over. Its all a matter of prejudiceprejudice with the law on -its side, you knowabout the stick and the gaiters, and so on. However, -it doesnt do to reason about things; and law is law. But I got Johnson -to be quiet, and I hushed the matter up. I doubt whether Chettam would -not have been more severe, and yet he comes down on me as if I were the -hardest man in the county. But here we are at Dagleys. - -Mr. Brooke got down at a farmyard-gate, and Dorothea drove on. It is -wonderful how much uglier things will look when we only suspect that we -are blamed for them. Even our own persons in the glass are apt to -change their aspect for us after we have heard some frank remark on -their less admirable points; and on the other hand it is astonishing -how pleasantly conscience takes our encroachments on those who never -complain or have nobody to complain for them. Dagleys homestead never -before looked so dismal to Mr. Brooke as it did today, with his mind -thus sore about the fault-finding of the Trumpet, echoed by Sir -James. - -It is true that an observer, under that softening influence of the fine -arts which makes other peoples hardships picturesque, might have been -delighted with this homestead called Freemans End: the old house had -dormer-windows in the dark red roof, two of the chimneys were choked -with ivy, the large porch was blocked up with bundles of sticks, and -half the windows were closed with gray worm-eaten shutters about which -the jasmine-boughs grew in wild luxuriance; the mouldering garden wall -with hollyhocks peeping over it was a perfect study of highly mingled -subdued color, and there was an aged goat (kept doubtless on -interesting superstitious grounds) lying against the open back-kitchen -door. The mossy thatch of the cow-shed, the broken gray barn-doors, the -pauper laborers in ragged breeches who had nearly finished unloading a -wagon of corn into the barn ready for early thrashing; the scanty dairy -of cows being tethered for milking and leaving one half of the shed in -brown emptiness; the very pigs and white ducks seeming to wander about -the uneven neglected yard as if in low spirits from feeding on a too -meagre quality of rinsings,all these objects under the quiet light of -a sky marbled with high clouds would have made a sort of picture which -we have all paused over as a charming bit, touching other -sensibilities than those which are stirred by the depression of the -agricultural interest, with the sad lack of farming capital, as seen -constantly in the newspapers of that time. But these troublesome -associations were just now strongly present to Mr. Brooke, and spoiled -the scene for him. Mr. Dagley himself made a figure in the landscape, -carrying a pitchfork and wearing his milking-hata very old beaver -flattened in front. His coat and breeches were the best he had, and he -would not have been wearing them on this weekday occasion if he had not -been to market and returned later than usual, having given himself the -rare treat of dining at the public table of the Blue Bull. How he came -to fall into this extravagance would perhaps be matter of wonderment to -himself on the morrow; but before dinner something in the state of the -country, a slight pause in the harvest before the Far Dips were cut, -the stories about the new King and the numerous handbills on the walls, -had seemed to warrant a little recklessness. It was a maxim about -Middlemarch, and regarded as self-evident, that good meat should have -good drink, which last Dagley interpreted as plenty of table ale well -followed up by rum-and-water. These liquors have so far truth in them -that they were not false enough to make poor Dagley seem merry: they -only made his discontent less tongue-tied than usual. He had also taken -too much in the shape of muddy political talk, a stimulant dangerously -disturbing to his farming conservatism, which consisted in holding that -whatever is, is bad, and any change is likely to be worse. He was -flushed, and his eyes had a decidedly quarrelsome stare as he stood -still grasping his pitchfork, while the landlord approached with his -easy shuffling walk, one hand in his trouser-pocket and the other -swinging round a thin walking-stick. - -Dagley, my good fellow, began Mr. Brooke, conscious that he was going -to be very friendly about the boy. - -Oh, ay, Im a good feller, am I? Thank ye, sir, thank ye, said -Dagley, with a loud snarling irony which made Fag the sheep-dog stir -from his seat and prick his ears; but seeing Monk enter the yard after -some outside loitering, Fag seated himself again in an attitude of -observation. Im glad to hear Im a good feller. - -Mr. Brooke reflected that it was market-day, and that his worthy tenant -had probably been dining, but saw no reason why he should not go on, -since he could take the precaution of repeating what he had to say to -Mrs. Dagley. - -Your little lad Jacob has been caught killing a leveret, Dagley: I -have told Johnson to lock him up in the empty stable an hour or two, -just to frighten him, you know. But he will be brought home by-and-by, -before night: and youll just look after him, will you, and give him a -reprimand, you know? - -No, I woont: Ill be deed if Ill leather my boy to please you or -anybody else, not if you was twenty landlords istid o one, and that a -bad un. - -Dagleys words were loud enough to summon his wife to the back-kitchen -doorthe only entrance ever used, and one always open except in bad -weatherand Mr. Brooke, saying soothingly, Well, well, Ill speak to -your wifeI didnt mean beating, you know, turned to walk to the -house. But Dagley, only the more inclined to have his say with a -gentleman who walked away from him, followed at once, with Fag -slouching at his heels and sullenly evading some small and probably -charitable advances on the part of Monk. - -How do you do, Mrs. Dagley? said Mr. Brooke, making some haste. I -came to tell you about your boy: I dont want you to give him the -stick, you know. He was careful to speak quite plainly this time. - -Overworked Mrs. Dagleya thin, worn woman, from whose life pleasure had -so entirely vanished that she had not even any Sunday clothes which -could give her satisfaction in preparing for churchhad already had a -misunderstanding with her husband since he had come home, and was in -low spirits, expecting the worst. But her husband was beforehand in -answering. - -No, nor he woont hev the stick, whether you want it or no, pursued -Dagley, throwing out his voice, as if he wanted it to hit hard. Youve -got no call to come an talk about sticks o these primises, as you -woont give a stick towrt mending. Go to Middlemarch to ax for _your_ -charrickter. - -Youd far better hold your tongue, Dagley, said the wife, and not -kick your own trough over. When a man as is father of a family has been -an spent money at market and made himself the worse for liquor, hes -done enough mischief for one day. But I should like to know what my -boys done, sir. - -Niver do you mind what hes done, said Dagley, more fiercely, its -my business to speak, an not yourn. An I wull speak, too. Ill hev my -saysupper or no. An what I say is, as Ive lived upo your ground -from my father and grandfather afore me, an hev dropped our money -intot, an me an my children might lie an rot on the ground for -top-dressin as we cant find the money to buy, if the King wasnt to -put a stop. - -My good fellow, youre drunk, you know, said Mr. Brooke, -confidentially but not judiciously. Another day, another day, he -added, turning as if to go. - -But Dagley immediately fronted him, and Fag at his heels growled low, -as his masters voice grew louder and more insulting, while Monk also -drew close in silent dignified watch. The laborers on the wagon were -pausing to listen, and it seemed wiser to be quite passive than to -attempt a ridiculous flight pursued by a bawling man. - -Im no more drunk nor you are, nor so much, said Dagley. I can carry -my liquor, an I know what I meean. An I meean as the King ull put a -stop to t, for them say it as knows it, as theres to be a Rinform, -and them landlords as never done the right thing by their tenants ull -be treated i that way as theyll hev to scuttle off. An theres them -i Middlemarch knows what the Rinform isan as knows wholl hev to -scuttle. Says they, I know who _your_ landlord is. An says I, I -hope youre the better for knowin him, I arnt. Says they, Hes a -close-fisted un. Ay ay, says I. Hes a man for the Rinform, says -they. Thats what they says. An I made out what the Rinform werean -it were to send you an your likes a-scuttlin an wi pretty -strong-smellin things too. An you may do as you like now, for Im -none afeard on you. An youd better let my boy aloan, an look to -yoursen, afore the Rinform has got upo your back. Thats what In got -to say, concluded Mr. Dagley, striking his fork into the ground with a -firmness which proved inconvenient as he tried to draw it up again. - -At this last action Monk began to bark loudly, and it was a moment for -Mr. Brooke to escape. He walked out of the yard as quickly as he could, -in some amazement at the novelty of his situation. He had never been -insulted on his own land before, and had been inclined to regard -himself as a general favorite (we are all apt to do so, when we think -of our own amiability more than of what other people are likely to want -of us). When he had quarrelled with Caleb Garth twelve years before he -had thought that the tenants would be pleased at the landlords taking -everything into his own hands. - -Some who follow the narrative of his experience may wonder at the -midnight darkness of Mr. Dagley; but nothing was easier in those times -than for an hereditary farmer of his grade to be ignorant, in spite -somehow of having a rector in the twin parish who was a gentleman to -the backbone, a curate nearer at hand who preached more learnedly than -the rector, a landlord who had gone into everything, especially fine -art and social improvement, and all the lights of Middlemarch only -three miles off. As to the facility with which mortals escape -knowledge, try an average acquaintance in the intellectual blaze of -London, and consider what that eligible person for a dinner-party would -have been if he had learned scant skill in summing from the -parish-clerk of Tipton, and read a chapter in the Bible with immense -difficulty, because such names as Isaiah or Apollos remained -unmanageable after twice spelling. Poor Dagley read a few verses -sometimes on a Sunday evening, and the world was at least not darker to -him than it had been before. Some things he knew thoroughly, namely, -the slovenly habits of farming, and the awkwardness of weather, stock -and crops, at Freemans Endso called apparently by way of sarcasm, to -imply that a man was free to quit it if he chose, but that there was no -earthly beyond open to him. - - - - -CHAPTER XL. - -Wise in his daily work was he: - To fruits of diligence, -And not to faiths or polity, - He plied his utmost sense. -These perfect in their little parts, - Whose work is all their prize -Without them how could laws, or arts, - Or towered cities rise? - - -In watching effects, if only of an electric battery, it is often -necessary to change our place and examine a particular mixture or group -at some distance from the point where the movement we are interested in -was set up. The group I am moving towards is at Caleb Garths -breakfast-table in the large parlor where the maps and desk were: -father, mother, and five of the children. Mary was just now at home -waiting for a situation, while Christy, the boy next to her, was -getting cheap learning and cheap fare in Scotland, having to his -fathers disappointment taken to books instead of that sacred calling -business. - -The letters had comenine costly letters, for which the postman had -been paid three and twopence, and Mr. Garth was forgetting his tea and -toast while he read his letters and laid them open one above the other, -sometimes swaying his head slowly, sometimes screwing up his mouth in -inward debate, but not forgetting to cut off a large red seal unbroken, -which Letty snatched up like an eager terrier. - -The talk among the rest went on unrestrainedly, for nothing disturbed -Calebs absorption except shaking the table when he was writing. - -Two letters of the nine had been for Mary. After reading them, she had -passed them to her mother, and sat playing with her tea-spoon absently, -till with a sudden recollection she returned to her sewing, which she -had kept on her lap during breakfast. - -Oh, dont sew, Mary! said Ben, pulling her arm down. Make me a -peacock with this bread-crumb. He had been kneading a small mass for -the purpose. - -No, no, Mischief! said Mary, good-humoredly, while she pricked his -hand lightly with her needle. Try and mould it yourself: you have seen -me do it often enough. I must get this sewing done. It is for Rosamond -Vincy: she is to be married next week, and she cant be married without -this handkerchief. Mary ended merrily, amused with the last notion. - -Why cant she, Mary? said Letty, seriously interested in this -mystery, and pushing her head so close to her sister that Mary now -turned the threatening needle towards Lettys nose. - -Because this is one of a dozen, and without it there would only be -eleven, said Mary, with a grave air of explanation, so that Letty sank -back with a sense of knowledge. - -Have you made up your mind, my dear? said Mrs. Garth, laying the -letters down. - -I shall go to the school at York, said Mary. I am less unfit to -teach in a school than in a family. I like to teach classes best. And, -you see, I must teach: there is nothing else to be done. - -Teaching seems to me the most delightful work in the world, said Mrs. -Garth, with a touch of rebuke in her tone. I could understand your -objection to it if you had not knowledge enough, Mary, or if you -disliked children. - -I suppose we never quite understand why another dislikes what we like, -mother, said Mary, rather curtly. I am not fond of a schoolroom: I -like the outside world better. It is a very inconvenient fault of -mine. - -It must be very stupid to be always in a girls school, said Alfred. -Such a set of nincompoops, like Mrs. Ballards pupils walking two and -two. - -And they have no games worth playing at, said Jim. They can neither -throw nor leap. I dont wonder at Marys not liking it. - -What is that Mary doesnt like, eh? said the father, looking over his -spectacles and pausing before he opened his next letter. - -Being among a lot of nincompoop girls, said Alfred. - -Is it the situation you had heard of, Mary? said Caleb, gently, -looking at his daughter. - -Yes, father: the school at York. I have determined to take it. It is -quite the best. Thirty-five pounds a-year, and extra pay for teaching -the smallest strummers at the piano. - -Poor child! I wish she could stay at home with us, Susan, said Caleb, -looking plaintively at his wife. - -Mary would not be happy without doing her duty, said Mrs. Garth, -magisterially, conscious of having done her own. - -It wouldnt make me happy to do such a nasty duty as that, said -Alfredat which Mary and her father laughed silently, but Mrs. Garth -said, gravely - -Do find a fitter word than nasty, my dear Alfred, for everything that -you think disagreeable. And suppose that Mary could help you to go to -Mr. Hanmers with the money she gets? - -That seems to me a great shame. But shes an old brick, said Alfred, -rising from his chair, and pulling Marys head backward to kiss her. - -Mary colored and laughed, but could not conceal that the tears were -coming. Caleb, looking on over his spectacles, with the angles of his -eyebrows falling, had an expression of mingled delight and sorrow as he -returned to the opening of his letter; and even Mrs. Garth, her lips -curling with a calm contentment, allowed that inappropriate language to -pass without correction, although Ben immediately took it up, and sang, -Shes an old brick, old brick, old brick! to a cantering measure, -which he beat out with his fist on Marys arm. - -But Mrs. Garths eyes were now drawn towards her husband, who was -already deep in the letter he was reading. His face had an expression -of grave surprise, which alarmed her a little, but he did not like to -be questioned while he was reading, and she remained anxiously watching -till she saw him suddenly shaken by a little joyous laugh as he turned -back to the beginning of the letter, and looking at her above his -spectacles, said, in a low tone, What do you think, Susan? - -She went and stood behind him, putting her hand on his shoulder, while -they read the letter together. It was from Sir James Chettam, offering -to Mr. Garth the management of the family estates at Freshitt and -elsewhere, and adding that Sir James had been requested by Mr. Brooke -of Tipton to ascertain whether Mr. Garth would be disposed at the same -time to resume the agency of the Tipton property. The Baronet added in -very obliging words that he himself was particularly desirous of seeing -the Freshitt and Tipton estates under the same management, and he hoped -to be able to show that the double agency might be held on terms -agreeable to Mr. Garth, whom he would be glad to see at the Hall at -twelve oclock on the following day. - -He writes handsomely, doesnt he, Susan? said Caleb, turning his eyes -upward to his wife, who raised her hand from his shoulder to his ear, -while she rested her chin on his head. Brooke didnt like to ask me -himself, I can see, he continued, laughing silently. - -Here is an honor to your father, children, said Mrs. Garth, looking -round at the five pair of eyes, all fixed on the parents. He is asked -to take a post again by those who dismissed him long ago. That shows -that he did his work well, so that they feel the want of him. - -Like Cincinnatushooray! said Ben, riding on his chair, with a -pleasant confidence that discipline was relaxed. - -Will they come to fetch him, mother? said Letty, thinking of the -Mayor and Corporation in their robes. - -Mrs. Garth patted Lettys head and smiled, but seeing that her husband -was gathering up his letters and likely soon to be out of reach in that -sanctuary business, she pressed his shoulder and said emphatically - -Now, mind you ask fair pay, Caleb. - -Oh yes, said Caleb, in a deep voice of assent, as if it would be -unreasonable to suppose anything else of him. Itll come to between -four and five hundred, the two together. Then with a little start of -remembrance he said, Mary, write and give up that school. Stay and -help your mother. Im as pleased as Punch, now Ive thought of that. - -No manner could have been less like that of Punch triumphant than -Calebs, but his talents did not lie in finding phrases, though he was -very particular about his letter-writing, and regarded his wife as a -treasury of correct language. - -There was almost an uproar among the children now, and Mary held up the -cambric embroidery towards her mother entreatingly, that it might be -put out of reach while the boys dragged her into a dance. Mrs. Garth, -in placid joy, began to put the cups and plates together, while Caleb -pushing his chair from the table, as if he were going to move to the -desk, still sat holding his letters in his hand and looking on the -ground meditatively, stretching out the fingers of his left hand, -according to a mute language of his own. At last he said - -Its a thousand pities Christy didnt take to business, Susan. I shall -want help by-and-by. And Alfred must go off to the engineeringIve -made up my mind to that. He fell into meditation and finger-rhetoric -again for a little while, and then continued: I shall make Brooke have -new agreements with the tenants, and I shall draw up a rotation of -crops. And Ill lay a wager we can get fine bricks out of the clay at -Botts corner. I must look into that: it would cheapen the repairs. -Its a fine bit of work, Susan! A man without a family would be glad to -do it for nothing. - -Mind you dont, though, said his wife, lifting up her finger. - -No, no; but its a fine thing to come to a man when hes 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 -donethat those who are living and those who come after will be the -better for. Id 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 asideIts 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 days 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 clergymans 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. - -Marys heart beat rather quickly: she wondered how far Freds -confidence had gone. - -We havent seen the lad for months, said Caleb. I couldnt 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 cant bear to come -himself even to bid you good by. - -Tell him it doesnt signify a farthing, said Caleb, waving his hand. -Weve had the pinch and have got over it. And now Im going to be as -rich as a Jew. - -Which means, said Mrs. Garth, smiling at the Vicar, that we are -going to have enough to bring up the boys well and to keep Mary at -home. - -What is the treasure-trove? said Mr. Farebrother. - -Im going to be agent for two estates, Freshitt and Tipton; and -perhaps for a pretty little bit of land in Lowick besides: its all the -same family connection, and employment spreads like water if its once -set going. It makes me very happy, Mr. Farebrotherhere Caleb threw -back his head a little, and spread his arms on the elbows of his -chairthat Ive got an opportunity again with the letting of the land, -and carrying out a notion or two with improvements. Its a most -uncommonly cramping thing, as Ive often told Susan, to sit on -horseback and look over the hedges at the wrong thing, and not be able -to put your hand to it to make it right. What people do who go into -politics I cant think: it drives me almost mad to see mismanagement -over only a few hundred acres. - -It was seldom that Caleb volunteered so long a speech, but his -happiness had the effect of mountain air: his eyes were bright, and the -words came without effort. - -I congratulate you heartily, Garth, said the Vicar. This is the best -sort of news I could have had to carry to Fred Vincy, for he dwelt a -good deal on the injury he had done you in causing you to part with -moneyrobbing you of it, he saidwhich you wanted for other purposes. I -wish Fred were not such an idle dog; he has some very good points, and -his father is a little hard upon him. - -Where is he going? said Mrs. Garth, rather coldly. - -He means to try again for his degree, and he is going up to study -before term. I have advised him to do that. I dont urge him to enter -the Churchon the contrary. But if he will go and work so as to pass, -that will be some guarantee that he has energy and a will; and he is -quite at sea; he doesnt know what else to do. So far he will please -his father, and I have promised in the mean time to try and reconcile -Vincy to his sons adopting some other line of life. Fred says frankly -he is not fit for a clergyman, and I would do anything I could to -hinder a man from the fatal step of choosing the wrong profession. He -quoted to me what you said, Miss Garthdo you remember it? (Mr. -Farebrother used to say Mary instead of Miss Garth, but it was part -of his delicacy to treat her with the more deference because, according -to Mrs. Vincys phrase, she worked for her bread.) - -Mary felt uncomfortable, but, determined to take the matter lightly, -answered at once, I have said so many impertinent things to Fredwe -are such old playfellows. - -You said, according to him, that he would be one of those ridiculous -clergymen who help to make the whole clergy ridiculous. Really, that -was so cutting that I felt a little cut myself. - -Caleb laughed. She gets her tongue from you, Susan, he said, with -some enjoyment. - -Not its flippancy, father, said Mary, quickly, fearing that her -mother would be displeased. It is rather too bad of Fred to repeat my -flippant speeches to Mr. Farebrother. - -It was certainly a hasty speech, my dear, said Mrs. Garth, with whom -speaking evil of dignities was a high misdemeanor. We should not value -our Vicar the less because there was a ridiculous curate in the next -parish. - -Theres something in what she says, though, said Caleb, not disposed -to have Marys sharpness undervalued. A bad workman of any sort makes -his fellows mistrusted. Things hang together, he added, looking on the -floor and moving his feet uneasily with a sense that words were -scantier than thoughts. - -Clearly, said the Vicar, amused. By being contemptible we set mens -minds to the tune of contempt. I certainly agree with Miss Garths view -of the matter, whether I am condemned by it or not. But as to Fred -Vincy, it is only fair he should be excused a little: old -Featherstones delusive behavior did help to spoil him. There was -something quite diabolical in not leaving him a farthing after all. But -Fred has the good taste not to dwell on that. And what he cares most -about is having offended you, Mrs. Garth; he supposes you will never -think well of him again. - -I have been disappointed in Fred, said Mrs. Garth, with decision. -But I shall be ready to think well of him again when he gives me good -reason to do so. - -At this point Mary went out of the room, taking Letty with her. - -Oh, we must forgive young people when theyre sorry, said Caleb, -watching Mary close the door. And as you say, Mr. Farebrother, there -was the very devil in that old man. Now Marys gone out, I must tell -you a thingits only known to Susan and me, and youll not tell it -again. The old scoundrel wanted Mary to burn one of the wills the very -night he died, when she was sitting up with him by herself, and he -offered her a sum of money that he had in the box by him if she would -do it. But Mary, you understand, could do no such thingwould not be -handling his iron chest, and so on. Now, you see, the will he wanted -burnt was this last, so that if Mary had done what he wanted, Fred -Vincy would have had ten thousand pounds. The old man did turn to him -at the last. That touches poor Mary close; she couldnt help itshe was -in the right to do what she did, but she feels, as she says, much as if -she had knocked down somebodys property and broken it against her -will, when she was rightfully defending herself. I feel with her, -somehow, and if I could make any amends to the poor lad, instead of -bearing him a grudge for the harm he did us, I should be glad to do it. -Now, what is your opinion, sir? Susan doesnt agree with me; she -saystell what you say, Susan. - -Mary could not have acted otherwise, even if she had known what would -be the effect on Fred, said Mrs. Garth, pausing from her work, and -looking at Mr. Farebrother. - -And she was quite ignorant of it. It seems to me, a loss which falls -on another because we have done right is not to lie upon our -conscience. - -The Vicar did not answer immediately, and Caleb said, Its the -feeling. The child feels in that way, and I feel with her. You dont -mean your horse to tread on a dog when youre backing out of the way; -but it goes through you, when its done. - -I am sure Mrs. Garth would agree with you there, said Mr. -Farebrother, who for some reason seemed more inclined to ruminate than -to speak. One could hardly say that the feeling you mention about Fred -is wrongor rather, mistakenthough no man ought to make a claim on -such feeling. - -Well, well, said Caleb, its a secret. You will not tell Fred. - -Certainly not. But I shall carry the other good newsthat you can -afford the loss he caused you. - -Mr. Farebrother left the house soon after, and seeing Mary in the -orchard with Letty, went to say good-by to her. They made a pretty -picture in the western light which brought out the brightness of the -apples on the old scant-leaved boughsMary in her lavender gingham and -black ribbons holding a basket, while Letty in her well-worn nankin -picked up the fallen apples. If you want to know more particularly how -Mary looked, ten to one you will see a face like hers in the crowded -street to-morrow, if you are there on the watch: she will not be among -those daughters of Zion who are haughty, and walk with stretched-out -necks and wanton eyes, mincing as they go: let all those pass, and fix -your eyes on some small plump brownish person of firm but quiet -carriage, who looks about her, but does not suppose that anybody is -looking at her. If she has a broad face and square brow, well-marked -eyebrows and curly dark hair, a certain expression of amusement in her -glance which her mouth keeps the secret of, and for the rest features -entirely insignificanttake that ordinary but not disagreeable person -for a portrait of Mary Garth. If you made her smile, she would show you -perfect little teeth; if you made her angry, she would not raise her -voice, but would probably say one of the bitterest things you have ever -tasted the flavor of; if you did her a kindness, she would never forget -it. Mary admired the keen-faced handsome little Vicar in his -well-brushed threadbare clothes more than any man she had had the -opportunity of knowing. She had never heard him say a foolish thing, -though she knew that he did unwise ones; and perhaps foolish sayings -were more objectionable to her than any of Mr. Farebrothers unwise -doings. At least, it was remarkable that the actual imperfections of -the Vicars clerical character never seemed to call forth the same -scorn and dislike which she showed beforehand for the predicted -imperfections of the clerical character sustained by Fred Vincy. These -irregularities of judgment, I imagine, are found even in riper minds -than Mary Garths: our impartiality is kept for abstract merit and -demerit, which none of us ever saw. Will any one guess towards which of -those widely different men Mary had the peculiar womans -tenderness?the one she was most inclined to be severe on, or the -contrary? - -Have you any message for your old playfellow, Miss Garth? said the -Vicar, as he took a fragrant apple from the basket which she held -towards him, and put it in his pocket. Something to soften down that -harsh judgment? I am going straight to see him. - -No, said Mary, shaking her head, and smiling. If I were to say that -he would not be ridiculous as a clergyman, I must say that he would be -something worse than ridiculous. But I am very glad to hear that he is -going away to work. - -On the other hand, I am very glad to hear that _you_ are not going -away to work. My mother, I am sure, will be all the happier if you will -come to see her at the vicarage: you know she is fond of having young -people to talk to, and she has a great deal to tell about old times. -You will really be doing a kindness. - -I should like it very much, if I may, said Mary. Everything seems -too happy for me all at once. I thought it would always be part of my -life to long for home, and losing that grievance makes me feel rather -empty: I suppose it served instead of sense to fill up my mind? - -May I go with you, Mary? whispered Lettya most inconvenient child, -who listened to everything. But she was made exultant by having her -chin pinched and her cheek kissed by Mr. Farebrotheran incident which -she narrated to her mother and father. - -As the Vicar walked to Lowick, any one watching him closely might have -seen him twice shrug his shoulders. I think that the rare Englishmen -who have this gesture are never of the heavy typefor fear of any -lumbering instance to the contrary, I will say, hardly ever; they have -usually a fine temperament and much tolerance towards the smaller -errors of men (themselves inclusive). The Vicar was holding an inward -dialogue in which he told himself that there was probably something -more between Fred and Mary Garth than the regard of old playfellows, -and replied with a question whether that bit of womanhood were not a -great deal too choice for that crude young gentleman. The rejoinder to -this was the first shrug. Then he laughed at himself for being likely -to have felt jealous, as if he had been a man able to marry, which, -added he, it is as clear as any balance-sheet that I am not. Whereupon -followed the second shrug. - -What could two men, so different from each other, see in this brown -patch, as Mary called herself? It was certainly not her plainness that -attracted them (and let all plain young ladies be warned against the -dangerous encouragement given them by Society to confide in their want -of beauty). A human being in this aged nation of ours is a very -wonderful whole, the slow creation of long interchanging influences: -and charm is a result of two such wholes, the one loving and the one -loved. - -When Mr. and Mrs. Garth were sitting alone, Caleb said, Susan, guess -what Im thinking of. - -The rotation of crops, said Mrs. Garth, smiling at him, above her -knitting, or else the back-doors of the Tipton cottages. - -No, said Caleb, gravely; I am thinking that I could do a great turn -for Fred Vincy. Christys gone, Alfred will be gone soon, and it will -be five years before Jim is ready to take to business. I shall want -help, and Fred might come in and learn the nature of things and act -under me, and it might be the making of him into a useful man, if he -gives up being a parson. What do you think? - -I think, there is hardly anything honest that his family would object -to more, said Mrs. Garth, decidedly. - -What care I about their objecting? said Caleb, with a sturdiness -which he was apt to show when he had an opinion. The lad is of age and -must get his bread. He has sense enough and quickness enough; he likes -being on the land, and its my belief that he could learn business well -if he gave his mind to it. - -But would he? His father and mother wanted him to be a fine gentleman, -and I think he has the same sort of feeling himself. They all think us -beneath them. And if the proposal came from you, I am sure Mrs. Vincy -would say that we wanted Fred for Mary. - -Life is a poor tale, if it is to be settled by nonsense of that sort, -said Caleb, with disgust. - -Yes, but there is a certain pride which is proper, Caleb. - -I call it improper pride to let fools notions hinder you from doing a -good action. Theres no sort of work, said Caleb, with fervor, putting -out his hand and moving it up and down to mark his emphasis, that -could ever be done well, if you minded what fools say. You must have it -inside you that your plan is right, and that plan you must follow. - -I will not oppose any plan you have set your mind on, Caleb, said -Mrs. Garth, who was a firm woman, but knew that there were some points -on which her mild husband was yet firmer. Still, it seems to be fixed -that Fred is to go back to college: will it not be better to wait and -see what he will choose to do after that? It is not easy to keep people -against their will. And you are not yet quite sure enough of your own -position, or what you will want. - -Well, it may be better to wait a bit. But as to my getting plenty of -work for two, Im pretty sure of that. Ive always had my hands full -with scattered things, and theres always something fresh turning up. -Why, only yesterdaybless me, I dont think I told you!it was rather -odd that two men should have been at me on different sides to do the -same bit of valuing. And who do you think they were? said Caleb, -taking a pinch of snuff and holding it up between his fingers, as if it -were a part of his exposition. He was fond of a pinch when it occurred -to him, but he usually forgot that this indulgence was at his command. - -His wife held down her knitting and looked attentive. - -Why, that Rigg, or Rigg Featherstone, was one. But Bulstrode was -before him, so Im going to do it for Bulstrode. Whether its mortgage -or purchase theyre going for, I cant tell yet. - -Can that man be going to sell the land just left himwhich he has -taken the name for? said Mrs. Garth. - -Deuce knows, said Caleb, who never referred the knowledge of -discreditable doings to any higher power than the deuce. But Bulstrode -has long been wanting to get a handsome bit of land under his -fingersthat I know. And its a difficult matter to get, in this part -of the country. - -Caleb scattered his snuff carefully instead of taking it, and then -added, The ins and outs of things are curious. Here is the land -theyve been all along expecting for Fred, which it seems the old man -never meant to leave him a foot of, but left it to this side-slip of a -son that he kept in the dark, and thought of his sticking there and -vexing everybody as well as he could have vexed em himself if he could -have kept alive. I say, it would be curious if it got into Bulstrodes -hands after all. The old man hated him, and never would bank with him. - -What reason could the miserable creature have for hating a man whom he -had nothing to do with? said Mrs. Garth. - -Pooh! wheres the use of asking for such fellows reasons? The soul of -man, said Caleb, with the deep tone and grave shake of the head which -always came when he used this phraseThe soul of man, when it gets -fairly rotten, will bear you all sorts of poisonous toad-stools, and no -eye can see whence came the seed thereof. - -It was one of Calebs quaintnesses, that in his difficulty of finding -speech for his thought, he caught, as it were, snatches of diction -which he associated with various points of view or states of mind; and -whenever he had a feeling of awe, he was haunted by a sense of Biblical -phraseology, though he could hardly have given a strict quotation. - - - - -CHAPTER XLI. - -By swaggering could I never thrive, -For the rain it raineth every day. -_Twelfth Night_. - - -The transactions referred to by Caleb Garth as having gone forward -between Mr. Bulstrode and Mr. Joshua Rigg Featherstone concerning the -land attached to Stone Court, had occasioned the interchange of a -letter or two between these personages. - -Who shall tell what may be the effect of writing? If it happens to have -been cut in stone, though it lie face down-most for ages on a forsaken -beach, or rest quietly under the drums and tramplings of many -conquests, it may end by letting us into the secret of usurpations and -other scandals gossiped about long empires ago:this world being -apparently a huge whispering-gallery. Such conditions are often -minutely represented in our petty lifetimes. As the stone which has -been kicked by generations of clowns may come by curious little links -of effect under the eyes of a scholar, through whose labors it may at -last fix the date of invasions and unlock religions, so a bit of ink -and paper which has long been an innocent wrapping or stop-gap may at -last be laid open under the one pair of eyes which have knowledge -enough to turn it into the opening of a catastrophe. To Uriel watching -the progress of planetary history from the sun, the one result would be -just as much of a coincidence as the other. - -Having made this rather lofty comparison I am less uneasy in calling -attention to the existence of low people by whose interference, however -little we may like it, the course of the world is very much determined. -It would be well, certainly, if we could help to reduce their number, -and something might perhaps be done by not lightly giving occasion to -their existence. Socially speaking, Joshua Rigg would have been -generally pronounced a superfluity. But those who like Peter -Featherstone never had a copy of themselves demanded, are the very last -to wait for such a request either in prose or verse. The copy in this -case bore more of outside resemblance to the mother, in whose sex -frog-features, accompanied with fresh-colored cheeks and a well-rounded -figure, are compatible with much charm for a certain order of admirers. -The result is sometimes a frog-faced male, desirable, surely, to no -order of intelligent beings. Especially when he is suddenly brought -into evidence to frustrate other peoples expectationsthe very lowest -aspect in which a social superfluity can present himself. - -But Mr. Rigg Featherstones low characteristics were all of the sober, -water-drinking kind. From the earliest to the latest hour of the day he -was always as sleek, neat, and cool as the frog he resembled, and old -Peter had secretly chuckled over an offshoot almost more calculating, -and far more imperturbable, than himself. I will add that his -finger-nails were scrupulously attended to, and that he meant to marry -a well-educated young lady (as yet unspecified) whose person was good, -and whose connections, in a solid middle-class way, were undeniable. -Thus his nails and modesty were comparable to those of most gentlemen; -though his ambition had been educated only by the opportunities of a -clerk and accountant in the smaller commercial houses of a seaport. He -thought the rural Featherstones very simple absurd people, and they in -their turn regarded his bringing up in a seaport town as an -exaggeration of the monstrosity that their brother Peter, and still -more Peters property, should have had such belongings. - -The garden and gravel approach, as seen from the two windows of the -wainscoted parlor at Stone Court, were never in better trim than now, -when Mr. Rigg Featherstone stood, with his hands behind him, looking -out on these grounds as their master. But it seemed doubtful whether he -looked out for the sake of contemplation or of turning his back to a -person who stood in the middle of the room, with his legs considerably -apart and his hands in his trouser-pockets: a person in all respects a -contrast to the sleek and cool Rigg. He was a man obviously on the way -towards sixty, very florid and hairy, with much gray in his bushy -whiskers and thick curly hair, a stoutish body which showed to -disadvantage the somewhat worn joinings of his clothes, and the air of -a swaggerer, who would aim at being noticeable even at a show of -fireworks, regarding his own remarks on any other persons performance -as likely to be more interesting than the performance itself. - -His name was John Raffles, and he sometimes wrote jocosely W.A.G. after -his signature, observing when he did so, that he was once taught by -Leonard Lamb of Finsbury who wrote B.A. after his name, and that he, -Raffles, originated the witticism of calling that celebrated principal -Ba-Lamb. Such were the appearance and mental flavor of Mr. Raffles, -both of which seemed to have a stale odor of travellers rooms in the -commercial hotels of that period. - -Come, now, Josh, he was saying, in a full rumbling tone, look at it -in this light: here is your poor mother going into the vale of years, -and you could afford something handsome now to make her comfortable. - -Not while you live. Nothing would make her comfortable while you -live, returned Rigg, in his cool high voice. What I give her, youll -take. - -You bear me a grudge, Josh, that I know. But come, nowas between man -and manwithout humbuga little capital might enable me to make a -first-rate thing of the shop. The tobacco trade is growing. I should -cut my own nose off in not doing the best I could at it. I should stick -to it like a flea to a fleece for my own sake. I should always be on -the spot. And nothing would make your poor mother so happy. Ive pretty -well done with my wild oatsturned fifty-five. I want to settle down in -my chimney-corner. And if I once buckled to the tobacco trade, I could -bring an amount of brains and experience to bear on it that would not -be found elsewhere in a hurry. I dont want to be bothering you one -time after another, but to get things once for all into the right -channel. Consider that, Joshas between man and manand with your poor -mother to be made easy for her life. I was always fond of the old -woman, by Jove! - -Have you done? said Mr. Rigg, quietly, without looking away from the -window. - -Yes, _I_ve done, said Raffles, taking hold of his hat which stood -before him on the table, and giving it a sort of oratorical push. - -Then just listen to me. The more you say anything, the less I shall -believe it. The more you want me to do a thing, the more reason I shall -have for never doing it. Do you think I mean to forget your kicking me -when I was a lad, and eating all the best victual away from me and my -mother? Do you think I forget your always coming home to sell and -pocket everything, and going off again leaving us in the lurch? I -should be glad to see you whipped at the cart-tail. My mother was a -fool to you: shed no right to give me a father-in-law, and shes been -punished for it. She shall have her weekly allowance paid and no more: -and that shall be stopped if you dare to come on to these premises -again, or to come into this country after me again. The next time you -show yourself inside the gates here, you shall be driven off with the -dogs and the wagoners whip. - -As Rigg pronounced the last words he turned round and looked at Raffles -with his prominent frozen eyes. The contrast was as striking as it -could have been eighteen years before, when Rigg was a most unengaging -kickable boy, and Raffles was the rather thick-set Adonis of bar-rooms -and back-parlors. But the advantage now was on the side of Rigg, and -auditors of this conversation might probably have expected that Raffles -would retire with the air of a defeated dog. Not at all. He made a -grimace which was habitual with him whenever he was out in a game; -then subsided into a laugh, and drew a brandy-flask from his pocket. - -Come, Josh, he said, in a cajoling tone, give us a spoonful of -brandy, and a sovereign to pay the way back, and Ill go. Honor bright! -Ill go like a bullet, _by_ Jove! - -Mind, said Rigg, drawing out a bunch of keys, if I ever see you -again, I shant speak to you. I dont own you any more than if I saw a -crow; and if you want to own me youll get nothing by it but a -character for being what you area spiteful, brassy, bullying rogue. - -Thats a pity, now, Josh, said Raffles, affecting to scratch his head -and wrinkle his brows upward as if he were nonplussed. Im very fond -of you; _by_ Jove, I am! Theres nothing I like better than plaguing -youyoure so like your mother, and I must do without it. But the -brandy and the sovereigns a bargain. - -He jerked forward the flask and Rigg went to a fine old oaken bureau -with his keys. But Raffles had reminded himself by his movement with -the flask that it had become dangerously loose from its leather -covering, and catching sight of a folded paper which had fallen within -the fender, he took it up and shoved it under the leather so as to make -the glass firm. - -By that time Rigg came forward with a brandy-bottle, filled the flask, -and handed Raffles a sovereign, neither looking at him nor speaking to -him. After locking up the bureau again, he walked to the window and -gazed out as impassibly as he had done at the beginning of the -interview, while Raffles took a small allowance from the flask, screwed -it up, and deposited it in his side-pocket, with provoking slowness, -making a grimace at his stepsons back. - -Farewell, Joshand if forever! said Raffles, turning back his head as -he opened the door. - -Rigg saw him leave the grounds and enter the lane. The gray day had -turned to a light drizzling rain, which freshened the hedgerows and the -grassy borders of the by-roads, and hastened the laborers who were -loading the last shocks of corn. Raffles, walking with the uneasy gait -of a town loiterer obliged to do a bit of country journeying on foot, -looked as incongruous amid this moist rural quiet and industry as if he -had been a baboon escaped from a menagerie. But there were none to -stare at him except the long-weaned calves, and none to show dislike of -his appearance except the little water-rats which rustled away at his -approach. - -He was fortunate enough when he got on to the highroad to be overtaken -by the stage-coach, which carried him to Brassing; and there he took -the new-made railway, observing to his fellow-passengers that he -considered it pretty well seasoned now it had done for Huskisson. Mr. -Raffles on most occasions kept up the sense of having been educated at -an academy, and being able, if he chose, to pass well everywhere; -indeed, there was not one of his fellow-men whom he did not feel -himself in a position to ridicule and torment, confident of the -entertainment which he thus gave to all the rest of the company. - -He played this part now with as much spirit as if his journey had been -entirely successful, resorting at frequent intervals to his flask. The -paper with which he had wedged it was a letter signed _Nicholas -Bulstrode_, but Raffles was not likely to disturb it from its present -useful position. - - - - -CHAPTER XLII. - -How much, methinks, I could despise this man -Were I not bound in charity against it! -SHAKESPEARE: _Henry VIII_. - - -One of the professional calls made by Lydgate soon after his return -from his wedding-journey was to Lowick Manor, in consequence of a -letter which had requested him to fix a time for his visit. - -Mr. Casaubon had never put any question concerning the nature of his -illness to Lydgate, nor had he even to Dorothea betrayed any anxiety as -to how far it might be likely to cut short his labors or his life. On -this point, as on all others, he shrank from pity; and if the suspicion -of being pitied for anything in his lot surmised or known in spite of -himself was embittering, the idea of calling forth a show of compassion -by frankly admitting an alarm or a sorrow was necessarily intolerable -to him. Every proud mind knows something of this experience, and -perhaps it is only to be overcome by a sense of fellowship deep enough -to make all efforts at isolation seem mean and petty instead of -exalting. - -But Mr. Casaubon was now brooding over something through which the -question of his health and life haunted his silence with a more -harassing importunity even than through the autumnal unripeness of his -authorship. It is true that this last might be called his central -ambition; but there are some kinds of authorship in which by far the -largest result is the uneasy susceptibility accumulated in the -consciousness of the authorone knows of the river by a few streaks -amid a long-gathered deposit of uncomfortable mud. That was the way -with Mr. Casaubons hard intellectual labors. Their most characteristic -result was not the Key to all Mythologies, but a morbid consciousness -that others did not give him the place which he had not demonstrably -meriteda perpetual suspicious conjecture that the views entertained of -him were not to his advantagea melancholy absence of passion in his -efforts at achievement, and a passionate resistance to the confession -that he had achieved nothing. - -Thus his intellectual ambition which seemed to others to have absorbed -and dried him, was really no security against wounds, least of all -against those which came from Dorothea. And he had begun now to frame -possibilities for the future which were somehow more embittering to him -than anything his mind had dwelt on before. - -Against certain facts he was helpless: against Will Ladislaws -existence, his defiant stay in the neighborhood of Lowick, and his -flippant state of mind with regard to the possessors of authentic, -well-stamped erudition: against Dorotheas nature, always taking on -some new shape of ardent activity, and even in submission and silence -covering fervid reasons which it was an irritation to think of: against -certain notions and likings which had taken possession of her mind in -relation to subjects that he could not possibly discuss with her. There -was no denying that Dorothea was as virtuous and lovely a young lady as -he could have obtained for a wife; but a young lady turned out to be -something more troublesome than he had conceived. She nursed him, she -read to him, she anticipated his wants, and was solicitous about his -feelings; but there had entered into the husbands mind the certainty -that she judged him, and that her wifely devotedness was like a -penitential expiation of unbelieving thoughtswas accompanied with a -power of comparison by which himself and his doings were seen too -luminously as a part of things in general. His discontent passed -vapor-like through all her gentle loving manifestations, and clung to -that inappreciative world which she had only brought nearer to him. - -Poor Mr. Casaubon! This suffering was the harder to bear because it -seemed like a betrayal: the young creature who had worshipped him with -perfect trust had quickly turned into the critical wife; and early -instances of criticism and resentment had made an impression which no -tenderness and submission afterwards could remove. To his suspicious -interpretation Dorotheas silence now was a suppressed rebellion; a -remark from her which he had not in any way anticipated was an -assertion of conscious superiority; her gentle answers had an -irritating cautiousness in them; and when she acquiesced it was a -self-approved effort of forbearance. The tenacity with which he strove -to hide this inward drama made it the more vivid for him; as we hear -with the more keenness what we wish others not to hear. - -Instead of wondering at this result of misery in Mr. Casaubon, I think -it quite ordinary. Will not a tiny speck very close to our vision blot -out the glory of the world, and leave only a margin by which we see the -blot? I know no speck so troublesome as self. And who, if Mr. Casaubon -had chosen to expound his discontentshis suspicions that he was not -any longer adored without criticismcould have denied that they were -founded on good reasons? On the contrary, there was a strong reason to -be added, which he had not himself taken explicitly into -accountnamely, that he was not unmixedly adorable. He suspected this, -however, as he suspected other things, without confessing it, and like -the rest of us, felt how soothing it would have been to have a -companion who would never find it out. - -This sore susceptibility in relation to Dorothea was thoroughly -prepared before Will Ladislaw had returned to Lowick, and what had -occurred since then had brought Mr. Casaubons power of suspicious -construction into exasperated activity. To all the facts which he knew, -he added imaginary facts both present and future which became more real -to him than those because they called up a stronger dislike, a more -predominating bitterness. Suspicion and jealousy of Will Ladislaws -intentions, suspicion and jealousy of Dorotheas impressions, were -constantly at their weaving work. It would be quite unjust to him to -suppose that he could have entered into any coarse misinterpretation of -Dorothea: his own habits of mind and conduct, quite as much as the open -elevation of her nature, saved him from any such mistake. What he was -jealous of was her opinion, the sway that might be given to her ardent -mind in its judgments, and the future possibilities to which these -might lead her. As to Will, though until his last defiant letter he had -nothing definite which he would choose formally to allege against him, -he felt himself warranted in believing that he was capable of any -design which could fascinate a rebellious temper and an undisciplined -impulsiveness. He was quite sure that Dorothea was the cause of Wills -return from Rome, and his determination to settle in the neighborhood; -and he was penetrating enough to imagine that Dorothea had innocently -encouraged this course. It was as clear as possible that she was ready -to be attached to Will and to be pliant to his suggestions: they had -never had a _tte--tte_ without her bringing away from it some new -troublesome impression, and the last interview that Mr. Casaubon was -aware of (Dorothea, on returning from Freshitt Hall, had for the first -time been silent about having seen Will) had led to a scene which -roused an angrier feeling against them both than he had ever known -before. Dorotheas outpouring of her notions about money, in the -darkness of the night, had done nothing but bring a mixture of more -odious foreboding into her husbands mind. - -And there was the shock lately given to his health always sadly present -with him. He was certainly much revived; he had recovered all his usual -power of work: the illness might have been mere fatigue, and there -might still be twenty years of achievement before him, which would -justify the thirty years of preparation. That prospect was made the -sweeter by a flavor of vengeance against the hasty sneers of Carp & -Company; for even when Mr. Casaubon was carrying his taper among the -tombs of the past, those modern figures came athwart the dim light, and -interrupted his diligent exploration. To convince Carp of his mistake, -so that he would have to eat his own words with a good deal of -indigestion, would be an agreeable accident of triumphant authorship, -which the prospect of living to future ages on earth and to all -eternity in heaven could not exclude from contemplation. Since, thus, -the prevision of his own unending bliss could not nullify the bitter -savors of irritated jealousy and vindictiveness, it is the less -surprising that the probability of a transient earthly bliss for other -persons, when he himself should have entered into glory, had not a -potently sweetening effect. If the truth should be that some -undermining disease was at work within him, there might be large -opportunity for some people to be the happier when he was gone; and if -one of those people should be Will Ladislaw, Mr. Casaubon objected so -strongly that it seemed as if the annoyance would make part of his -disembodied existence. - -This is a very bare and therefore a very incomplete way of putting the -case. The human soul moves in many channels, and Mr. Casaubon, we know, -had a sense of rectitude and an honorable pride in satisfying the -requirements of honor, which compelled him to find other reasons for -his conduct than those of jealousy and vindictiveness. The way in which -Mr. Casaubon put the case was this:In marrying Dorothea Brooke I had -to care for her well-being in case of my death. But well-being is not -to be secured by ample, independent possession of property; on the -contrary, occasions might arise in which such possession might expose -her to the more danger. She is ready prey to any man who knows how to -play adroitly either on her affectionate ardor or her Quixotic -enthusiasm; and a man stands by with that very intention in his minda -man with no other principle than transient caprice, and who has a -personal animosity towards meI am sure of itan animosity which is fed -by the consciousness of his ingratitude, and which he has constantly -vented in ridicule of which I am as well assured as if I had heard it. -Even if I live I shall not be without uneasiness as to what he may -attempt through indirect influence. This man has gained Dorotheas ear: -he has fascinated her attention; he has evidently tried to impress her -mind with the notion that he has claims beyond anything I have done for -him. If I dieand he is waiting here on the watch for thathe will -persuade her to marry him. That would be calamity for her and success -for him. _She_ would not think it calamity: he would make her believe -anything; she has a tendency to immoderate attachment which she -inwardly reproaches me for not responding to, and already her mind is -occupied with his fortunes. He thinks of an easy conquest and of -entering into my nest. That I will hinder! Such a marriage would be -fatal to Dorothea. Has he ever persisted in anything except from -contradiction? In knowledge he has always tried to be showy at small -cost. In religion he could be, as long as it suited him, the facile -echo of Dorotheas vagaries. When was sciolism ever dissociated from -laxity? I utterly distrust his morals, and it is my duty to hinder to -the utmost the fulfilment of his designs. - -The arrangements made by Mr. Casaubon on his marriage left strong -measures open to him, but in ruminating on them his mind inevitably -dwelt so much on the probabilities of his own life that the longing to -get the nearest possible calculation had at last overcome his proud -reticence, and had determined him to ask Lydgates opinion as to the -nature of his illness. - -He had mentioned to Dorothea that Lydgate was coming by appointment at -half-past three, and in answer to her anxious question, whether he had -felt ill, replied,No, I merely wish to have his opinion concerning -some habitual symptoms. You need not see him, my dear. I shall give -orders that he may be sent to me in the Yew-tree Walk, where I shall be -taking my usual exercise. - -When Lydgate entered the Yew-tree Walk he saw Mr. Casaubon slowly -receding with his hands behind him according to his habit, and his head -bent forward. It was a lovely afternoon; the leaves from the lofty -limes were falling silently across the sombre evergreens, while the -lights and shadows slept side by side: there was no sound but the -cawing of the rooks, which to the accustomed ear is a lullaby, or that -last solemn lullaby, a dirge. Lydgate, conscious of an energetic frame -in its prime, felt some compassion when the figure which he was likely -soon to overtake turned round, and in advancing towards him showed more -markedly than ever the signs of premature agethe students bent -shoulders, the emaciated limbs, and the melancholy lines of the mouth. -Poor fellow, he thought, some men with his years are like lions; one -can tell nothing of their age except that they are full grown. - -Mr. Lydgate, said Mr. Casaubon, with his invariably polite air, I am -exceedingly obliged to you for your punctuality. We will, if you -please, carry on our conversation in walking to and fro. - -I hope your wish to see me is not due to the return of unpleasant -symptoms, said Lydgate, filling up a pause. - -Not immediatelyno. In order to account for that wish I must -mentionwhat it were otherwise needless to refer tothat my life, on -all collateral accounts insignificant, derives a possible importance -from the incompleteness of labors which have extended through all its -best years. In short, I have long had on hand a work which I would fain -leave behind me in such a state, at least, that it might be committed -to the press byothers. Were I assured that this is the utmost I can -reasonably expect, that assurance would be a useful circumscription of -my attempts, and a guide in both the positive and negative -determination of my course. - -Here Mr. Casaubon paused, removed one hand from his back and thrust it -between the buttons of his single-breasted coat. To a mind largely -instructed in the human destiny hardly anything could be more -interesting than the inward conflict implied in his formal measured -address, delivered with the usual sing-song and motion of the head. -Nay, are there many situations more sublimely tragic than the struggle -of the soul with the demand to renounce a work which has been all the -significance of its lifea significance which is to vanish as the -waters which come and go where no man has need of them? But there was -nothing to strike others as sublime about Mr. Casaubon, and Lydgate, -who had some contempt at hand for futile scholarship, felt a little -amusement mingling with his pity. He was at present too ill acquainted -with disaster to enter into the pathos of a lot where everything is -below the level of tragedy except the passionate egoism of the -sufferer. - -You refer to the possible hindrances from want of health? he said, -wishing to help forward Mr. Casaubons purpose, which seemed to be -clogged by some hesitation. - -I do. You have not implied to me that the symptoms whichI am bound to -testifyyou watched with scrupulous care, were those of a fatal -disease. But were it so, Mr. Lydgate, I should desire to know the truth -without reservation, and I appeal to you for an exact statement of your -conclusions: I request it as a friendly service. If you can tell me -that my life is not threatened by anything else than ordinary -casualties, I shall rejoice, on grounds which I have already indicated. -If not, knowledge of the truth is even more important to me. - -Then I can no longer hesitate as to my course, said Lydgate; but the -first thing I must impress on you is that my conclusions are doubly -uncertainuncertain not only because of my fallibility, but because -diseases of the heart are eminently difficult to found predictions on. -In any case, one can hardly increase appreciably the tremendous -uncertainty of life. - -Mr. Casaubon winced perceptibly, but bowed. - -I believe that you are suffering from what is called fatty -degeneration of the heart, a disease which was first divined and -explored by Laennec, the man who gave us the stethoscope, not so very -many years ago. A good deal of experiencea more lengthened -observationis wanting on the subject. But after what you have said, it -is my duty to tell you that death from this disease is often sudden. At -the same time, no such result can be predicted. Your condition may be -consistent with a tolerably comfortable life for another fifteen years, -or even more. I could add no information to this beyond anatomical or -medical details, which would leave expectation at precisely the same -point. Lydgates instinct was fine enough to tell him that plain -speech, quite free from ostentatious caution, would be felt by Mr. -Casaubon as a tribute of respect. - -I thank you, Mr. Lydgate, said Mr. Casaubon, after a moments pause. -One thing more I have still to ask: did you communicate what you have -now told me to Mrs. Casaubon? - -PartlyI mean, as to the possible issues. Lydgate was going to -explain why he had told Dorothea, but Mr. Casaubon, with an -unmistakable desire to end the conversation, waved his hand slightly, -and said again, I thank you, proceeding to remark on the rare beauty -of the day. - -Lydgate, certain that his patient wished to be alone, soon left him; -and the black figure with hands behind and head bent forward continued -to pace the walk where the dark yew-trees gave him a mute companionship -in melancholy, and the little shadows of bird or leaf that fleeted -across the isles of sunlight, stole along in silence as in the presence -of a sorrow. Here was a man who now for the first time found himself -looking into the eyes of deathwho was passing through one of those -rare moments of experience when we feel the truth of a commonplace, -which is as different from what we call knowing it, as the vision of -waters upon the earth is different from the delirious vision of the -water which cannot be had to cool the burning tongue. When the -commonplace We must all die transforms itself suddenly into the acute -consciousness I must dieand soon, then death grapples us, and his -fingers are cruel; afterwards, he may come to fold us in his arms as -our mother did, and our last moment of dim earthly discerning may be -like the first. To Mr. Casaubon now, it was as if he suddenly found -himself on the dark river-brink and heard the plash of the oncoming -oar, not discerning the forms, but expecting the summons. In such an -hour the mind does not change its lifelong bias, but carries it onward -in imagination to the other side of death, gazing backwardperhaps with -the divine calm of beneficence, perhaps with the petty anxieties of -self-assertion. What was Mr. Casaubons bias his acts will give us a -clew to. He held himself to be, with some private scholarly -reservations, a believing Christian, as to estimates of the present and -hopes of the future. But what we strive to gratify, though we may call -it a distant hope, is an immediate desire: the future estate for which -men drudge up city alleys exists already in their imagination and love. -And Mr. Casaubons immediate desire was not for divine communion and -light divested of earthly conditions; his passionate longings, poor -man, clung low and mist-like in very shady places. - -Dorothea had been aware when Lydgate had ridden away, and she had -stepped into the garden, with the impulse to go at once to her husband. -But she hesitated, fearing to offend him by obtruding herself; for her -ardor, continually repulsed, served, with her intense memory, to -heighten her dread, as thwarted energy subsides into a shudder; and she -wandered slowly round the nearer clumps of trees until she saw him -advancing. Then she went towards him, and might have represented a -heaven-sent angel coming with a promise that the short hours remaining -should yet be filled with that faithful love which clings the closer to -a comprehended grief. His glance in reply to hers was so chill that she -felt her timidity increased; yet she turned and passed her hand through -his arm. - -Mr. Casaubon kept his hands behind him and allowed her pliant arm to -cling with difficulty against his rigid arm. - -There was something horrible to Dorothea in the sensation which this -unresponsive hardness inflicted on her. That is a strong word, but not -too strong: it is in these acts called trivialities that the seeds of -joy are forever wasted, until men and women look round with haggard -faces at the devastation their own waste has made, and say, the earth -bears no harvest of sweetnesscalling their denial knowledge. You may -ask why, in the name of manliness, Mr. Casaubon should have behaved in -that way. Consider that his was a mind which shrank from pity: have you -ever watched in such a mind the effect of a suspicion that what is -pressing it as a grief may be really a source of contentment, either -actual or future, to the being who already offends by pitying? Besides, -he knew little of Dorotheas sensations, and had not reflected that on -such an occasion as the present they were comparable in strength to his -own sensibilities about Carps criticisms. - -Dorothea did not withdraw her arm, but she could not venture to speak. -Mr. Casaubon did not say, I wish to be alone, but he directed his -steps in silence towards the house, and as they entered by the glass -door on this eastern side, Dorothea withdrew her arm and lingered on -the matting, that she might leave her husband quite free. He entered -the library and shut himself in, alone with his sorrow. - -She went up to her boudoir. The open bow-window let in the serene glory -of the afternoon lying in the avenue, where the lime-trees cast long -shadows. But Dorothea knew nothing of the scene. She threw herself on a -chair, not heeding that she was in the dazzling sun-rays: if there were -discomfort in that, how could she tell that it was not part of her -inward misery? - -She was in the reaction of a rebellious anger stronger than any she had -felt since her marriage. Instead of tears there came words: - -What have I donewhat am Ithat he should treat me so? He never knows -what is in my mindhe never cares. What is the use of anything I do? He -wishes he had never married me. - -She began to hear herself, and was checked into stillness. Like one who -has lost his way and is weary, she sat and saw as in one glance all the -paths of her young hope which she should never find again. And just as -clearly in the miserable light she saw her own and her husbands -solitudehow they walked apart so that she was obliged to survey him. -If he had drawn her towards him, she would never have surveyed -himnever have said, Is he worth living for? but would have felt him -simply a part of her own life. Now she said bitterly, It is his fault, -not mine. In the jar of her whole being, Pity was overthrown. Was it -her fault that she had believed in himhad believed in his -worthiness?And what, exactly, was he? She was able enough to estimate -himshe who waited on his glances with trembling, and shut her best -soul in prison, paying it only hidden visits, that she might be petty -enough to please him. In such a crisis as this, some women begin to -hate. - -The sun was low when Dorothea was thinking that she would not go down -again, but would send a message to her husband saying that she was not -well and preferred remaining up-stairs. She had never deliberately -allowed her resentment to govern her in this way before, but she -believed now that she could not see him again without telling him the -truth about her feeling, and she must wait till she could do it without -interruption. He might wonder and be hurt at her message. It was good -that he should wonder and be hurt. Her anger said, as anger is apt to -say, that God was with herthat all heaven, though it were crowded with -spirits watching them, must be on her side. She had determined to ring -her bell, when there came a rap at the door. - -Mr. Casaubon had sent to say that he would have his dinner in the -library. He wished to be quite alone this evening, being much occupied. - -I shall not dine, then, Tantripp. - -Oh, madam, let me bring you a little something? - -No; I am not well. Get everything ready in my dressing room, but pray -do not disturb me again. - -Dorothea sat almost motionless in her meditative struggle, while the -evening slowly deepened into night. But the struggle changed -continually, as that of a man who begins with a movement towards -striking and ends with conquering his desire to strike. The energy that -would animate a crime is not more than is wanted to inspire a resolved -submission, when the noble habit of the soul reasserts itself. That -thought with which Dorothea had gone out to meet her husbandher -conviction that he had been asking about the possible arrest of all his -work, and that the answer must have wrung his heart, could not be long -without rising beside the image of him, like a shadowy monitor looking -at her anger with sad remonstrance. It cost her a litany of pictured -sorrows and of silent cries that she might be the mercy for those -sorrowsbut the resolved submission did come; and when the house was -still, and she knew that it was near the time when Mr. Casaubon -habitually went to rest, she opened her door gently and stood outside -in the darkness waiting for his coming up-stairs with a light in his -hand. If he did not come soon she thought that she would go down and -even risk incurring another pang. She would never again expect anything -else. But she did hear the library door open, and slowly the light -advanced up the staircase without noise from the footsteps on the -carpet. When her husband stood opposite to her, she saw that his face -was more haggard. He started slightly on seeing her, and she looked up -at him beseechingly, without speaking. - -Dorothea! he said, with a gentle surprise in his tone. Were you -waiting for me? - -Yes, I did not like to disturb you. - -Come, my dear, come. You are young, and need not to extend your life -by watching. - -When the kind quiet melancholy of that speech fell on Dorotheas ears, -she felt something like the thankfulness that might well up in us if we -had narrowly escaped hurting a lamed creature. She put her hand into -her husbands, and they went along the broad corridor together. - - - - -BOOK V. -THE DEAD HAND. - - - - -CHAPTER XLIII. - -This figure hath high price: t was wrought with love -Ages ago in finest ivory; -Nought modish in it, pure and noble lines -Of generous womanhood that fits all time -That too is costly ware; majolica -Of deft design, to please a lordly eye: -The smile, you see, is perfectwonderful -As mere Faience! a table ornament -To suit the richest mounting. - - -Dorothea seldom left home without her husband, but she did occasionally -drive into Middlemarch alone, on little errands of shopping or charity -such as occur to every lady of any wealth when she lives within three -miles of a town. Two days after that scene in the Yew-tree Walk, she -determined to use such an opportunity in order if possible to see -Lydgate, and learn from him whether her husband had really felt any -depressing change of symptoms which he was concealing from her, and -whether he had insisted on knowing the utmost about himself. She felt -almost guilty in asking for knowledge about him from another, but the -dread of being without itthe dread of that ignorance which would make -her unjust or hardovercame every scruple. That there had been some -crisis in her husbands mind she was certain: he had the very next day -begun a new method of arranging his notes, and had associated her quite -newly in carrying out his plan. Poor Dorothea needed to lay up stores -of patience. - -It was about four oclock when she drove to Lydgates house in Lowick -Gate, wishing, in her immediate doubt of finding him at home, that she -had written beforehand. And he was not at home. - -Is Mrs. Lydgate at home? said Dorothea, who had never, that she knew -of, seen Rosamond, but now remembered the fact of the marriage. Yes, -Mrs. Lydgate was at home. - -I will go in and speak to her, if she will allow me. Will you ask her -if she can see mesee Mrs. Casaubon, for a few minutes? - -When the servant had gone to deliver that message, Dorothea could hear -sounds of music through an open windowa few notes from a mans voice -and then a piano bursting into roulades. But the roulades broke off -suddenly, and then the servant came back saying that Mrs. Lydgate would -be happy to see Mrs. Casaubon. - -When the drawing-room door opened and Dorothea entered, there was a -sort of contrast not infrequent in country life when the habits of the -different ranks were less blent than now. Let those who know, tell us -exactly what stuff it was that Dorothea wore in those days of mild -autumnthat thin white woollen stuff soft to the touch and soft to the -eye. It always seemed to have been lately washed, and to smell of the -sweet hedgeswas always in the shape of a pelisse with sleeves hanging -all out of the fashion. Yet if she had entered before a still audience -as Imogene or Catos daughter, the dress might have seemed right -enough: the grace and dignity were in her limbs and neck; and about her -simply parted hair and candid eyes the large round poke which was then -in the fate of women, seemed no more odd as a head-dress than the gold -trencher we call a halo. By the present audience of two persons, no -dramatic heroine could have been expected with more interest than Mrs. -Casaubon. To Rosamond she was one of those county divinities not mixing -with Middlemarch mortality, whose slightest marks of manner or -appearance were worthy of her study; moreover, Rosamond was not without -satisfaction that Mrs. Casaubon should have an opportunity of studying -_her_. What is the use of being exquisite if you are not seen by the -best judges? and since Rosamond had received the highest compliments at -Sir Godwin Lydgates, she felt quite confident of the impression she -must make on people of good birth. Dorothea put out her hand with her -usual simple kindness, and looked admiringly at Lydgates lovely -brideaware that there was a gentleman standing at a distance, but -seeing him merely as a coated figure at a wide angle. The gentleman was -too much occupied with the presence of the one woman to reflect on the -contrast between the twoa contrast that would certainly have been -striking to a calm observer. They were both tall, and their eyes were -on a level; but imagine Rosamonds infantine blondness and wondrous -crown of hair-plaits, with her pale-blue dress of a fit and fashion so -perfect that no dressmaker could look at it without emotion, a large -embroidered collar which it was to be hoped all beholders would know -the price of, her small hands duly set off with rings, and that -controlled self-consciousness of manner which is the expensive -substitute for simplicity. - -Thank you very much for allowing me to interrupt you, said Dorothea, -immediately. I am anxious to see Mr. Lydgate, if possible, before I go -home, and I hoped that you might possibly tell me where I could find -him, or even allow me to wait for him, if you expect him soon. - -He is at the New Hospital, said Rosamond; I am not sure how soon he -will come home. But I can send for him. - -Will you let me go and fetch him? said Will Ladislaw, coming forward. -He had already taken up his hat before Dorothea entered. She colored -with surprise, but put out her hand with a smile of unmistakable -pleasure, saying - -I did not know it was you: I had no thought of seeing you here. - -May I go to the Hospital and tell Mr. Lydgate that you wish to see -him? said Will. - -It would be quicker to send the carriage for him, said Dorothea, if -you will be kind enough to give the message to the coachman. - -Will was moving to the door when Dorothea, whose mind had flashed in an -instant over many connected memories, turned quickly and said, I will -go myself, thank you. I wish to lose no time before getting home again. -I will drive to the Hospital and see Mr. Lydgate there. Pray excuse me, -Mrs. Lydgate. I am very much obliged to you. - -Her mind was evidently arrested by some sudden thought, and she left -the room hardly conscious of what was immediately around herhardly -conscious that Will opened the door for her and offered her his arm to -lead her to the carriage. She took the arm but said nothing. Will was -feeling rather vexed and miserable, and found nothing to say on his -side. He handed her into the carriage in silence, they said good-by, -and Dorothea drove away. - -In the five minutes drive to the Hospital she had time for some -reflections that were quite new to her. Her decision to go, and her -preoccupation in leaving the room, had come from the sudden sense that -there would be a sort of deception in her voluntarily allowing any -further intercourse between herself and Will which she was unable to -mention to her husband, and already her errand in seeking Lydgate was a -matter of concealment. That was all that had been explicitly in her -mind; but she had been urged also by a vague discomfort. Now that she -was alone in her drive, she heard the notes of the mans voice and the -accompanying piano, which she had not noted much at the time, returning -on her inward sense; and she found herself thinking with some wonder -that Will Ladislaw was passing his time with Mrs. Lydgate in her -husbands absence. And then she could not help remembering that he had -passed some time with her under like circumstances, so why should there -be any unfitness in the fact? But Will was Mr. Casaubons relative, and -one towards whom she was bound to show kindness. Still there had been -signs which perhaps she ought to have understood as implying that Mr. -Casaubon did not like his cousins visits during his own absence. -Perhaps I have been mistaken in many things, said poor Dorothea to -herself, while the tears came rolling and she had to dry them quickly. -She felt confusedly unhappy, and the image of Will which had been so -clear to her before was mysteriously spoiled. But the carriage stopped -at the gate of the Hospital. She was soon walking round the grass plots -with Lydgate, and her feelings recovered the strong bent which had made -her seek for this interview. - -Will Ladislaw, meanwhile, was mortified, and knew the reason of it -clearly enough. His chances of meeting Dorothea were rare; and here for -the first time there had come a chance which had set him at a -disadvantage. It was not only, as it had been hitherto, that she was -not supremely occupied with him, but that she had seen him under -circumstances in which he might appear not to be supremely occupied -with her. He felt thrust to a new distance from her, amongst the -circles of Middlemarchers who made no part of her life. But that was -not his fault: of course, since he had taken his lodgings in the town, -he had been making as many acquaintances as he could, his position -requiring that he should know everybody and everything. Lydgate was -really better worth knowing than any one else in the neighborhood, and -he happened to have a wife who was musical and altogether worth calling -upon. Here was the whole history of the situation in which Diana had -descended too unexpectedly on her worshipper. It was mortifying. Will -was conscious that he should not have been at Middlemarch but for -Dorothea; and yet his position there was threatening to divide him from -her with those barriers of habitual sentiment which are more fatal to -the persistence of mutual interest than all the distance between Rome -and Britain. Prejudices about rank and status were easy enough to defy -in the form of a tyrannical letter from Mr. Casaubon; but prejudices, -like odorous bodies, have a double existence both solid and -subtlesolid as the pyramids, subtle as the twentieth echo of an echo, -or as the memory of hyacinths which once scented the darkness. And Will -was of a temperament to feel keenly the presence of subtleties: a man -of clumsier perceptions would not have felt, as he did, that for the -first time some sense of unfitness in perfect freedom with him had -sprung up in Dorotheas mind, and that their silence, as he conducted -her to the carriage, had had a chill in it. Perhaps Casaubon, in his -hatred and jealousy, had been insisting to Dorothea that Will had slid -below her socially. Confound Casaubon! - -Will re-entered the drawing-room, took up his hat, and looking -irritated as he advanced towards Mrs. Lydgate, who had seated herself -at her work-table, said - -It is always fatal to have music or poetry interrupted. May I come -another day and just finish about the rendering of Lungi dal caro -bene? - -I shall be happy to be taught, said Rosamond. But I am sure you -admit that the interruption was a very beautiful one. I quite envy your -acquaintance with Mrs. Casaubon. Is she very clever? She looks as if -she were. - -Really, I never thought about it, said Will, sulkily. - -That is just the answer Tertius gave me, when I first asked him if she -were handsome. What is it that you gentlemen are thinking of when you -are with Mrs. Casaubon? - -Herself, said Will, not indisposed to provoke the charming Mrs. -Lydgate. When one sees a perfect woman, one never thinks of her -attributesone is conscious of her presence. - -I shall be jealous when Tertius goes to Lowick, said Rosamond, -dimpling, and speaking with aery lightness. He will come back and -think nothing of me. - -That does not seem to have been the effect on Lydgate hitherto. Mrs. -Casaubon is too unlike other women for them to be compared with her. - -You are a devout worshipper, I perceive. You often see her, I -suppose. - -No, said Will, almost pettishly. Worship is usually a matter of -theory rather than of practice. But I am practising it to excess just -at this momentI must really tear myself away. - -Pray come again some evening: Mr. Lydgate will like to hear the music, -and I cannot enjoy it so well without him. - -When her husband was at home again, Rosamond said, standing in front of -him and holding his coat-collar with both her hands, Mr. Ladislaw was -here singing with me when Mrs. Casaubon came in. He seemed vexed. Do -you think he disliked her seeing him at our house? Surely your position -is more than equal to hiswhatever may be his relation to the -Casaubons. - -No, no; it must be something else if he were really vexed. Ladislaw is -a sort of gypsy; he thinks nothing of leather and prunella. - -Music apart, he is not always very agreeable. Do you like him? - -Yes: I think he is a good fellow: rather miscellaneous and -bric-a-brac, but likable. - -Do you know, I think he adores Mrs. Casaubon. - -Poor devil! said Lydgate, smiling and pinching his wifes ears. - -Rosamond felt herself beginning to know a great deal of the world, -especially in discovering what when she was in her unmarried girlhood -had been inconceivable to her except as a dim tragedy in by-gone -costumesthat women, even after marriage, might make conquests and -enslave men. At that time young ladies in the country, even when -educated at Mrs. Lemons, read little French literature later than -Racine, and public prints had not cast their present magnificent -illumination over the scandals of life. Still, vanity, with a womans -whole mind and day to work in, can construct abundantly on slight -hints, especially on such a hint as the possibility of indefinite -conquests. How delightful to make captives from the throne of marriage -with a husband as crown-prince by your sidehimself in fact a -subjectwhile the captives look up forever hopeless, losing their rest -probably, and if their appetite too, so much the better! But Rosamonds -romance turned at present chiefly on her crown-prince, and it was -enough to enjoy his assured subjection. When he said, Poor devil! she -asked, with playful curiosity - -Why so? - -Why, what can a man do when he takes to adoring one of you mermaids? -He only neglects his work and runs up bills. - -I am sure you do not neglect your work. You are always at the -Hospital, or seeing poor patients, or thinking about some doctors -quarrel; and then at home you always want to pore over your microscope -and phials. Confess you like those things better than me. - -Havent you ambition enough to wish that your husband should be -something better than a Middlemarch doctor? said Lydgate, letting his -hands fall on to his wifes shoulders, and looking at her with -affectionate gravity. I shall make you learn my favorite bit from an -old poet - -Why should our pride make such a stir to be -And be forgot? What good is like to this, -To do worthy the writing, and to write -Worthy the reading and the worlds delight? - - -What I want, Rosy, is to do worthy the writing,and to write out myself -what I have done. A man must work, to do that, my pet. - -Of course, I wish you to make discoveries: no one could more wish you -to attain a high position in some better place than Middlemarch. You -cannot say that I have ever tried to hinder you from working. But we -cannot live like hermits. You are not discontented with me, Tertius? - -No, dear, no. I am too entirely contented. - -But what did Mrs. Casaubon want to say to you? - -Merely to ask about her husbands health. But I think she is going to -be splendid to our New Hospital: I think she will give us two hundred -a-year. - - - - -CHAPTER XLIV. - -I would not creep along the coast but steer -Out in mid-sea, by guidance of the stars. - - -When Dorothea, walking round the laurel-planted plots of the New -Hospital with Lydgate, had learned from him that there were no signs of -change in Mr. Casaubons bodily condition beyond the mental sign of -anxiety to know the truth about his illness, she was silent for a few -moments, wondering whether she had said or done anything to rouse this -new anxiety. Lydgate, not willing to let slip an opportunity of -furthering a favorite purpose, ventured to say - -I dont know whether your or Mr. Casaubons attention has been drawn -to the needs of our New Hospital. Circumstances have made it seem -rather egotistic in me to urge the subject; but that is not my fault: -it is because there is a fight being made against it by the other -medical men. I think you are generally interested in such things, for I -remember that when I first had the pleasure of seeing you at Tipton -Grange before your marriage, you were asking me some questions about -the way in which the health of the poor was affected by their miserable -housing. - -Yes, indeed, said Dorothea, brightening. I shall be quite grateful -to you if you will tell me how I can help to make things a little -better. Everything of that sort has slipped away from me since I have -been married. I mean, she said, after a moments hesitation, that the -people in our village are tolerably comfortable, and my mind has been -too much taken up for me to inquire further. But herein such a place -as Middlemarchthere must be a great deal to be done. - -There is everything to be done, said Lydgate, with abrupt energy. -And this Hospital is a capital piece of work, due entirely to Mr. -Bulstrodes exertions, and in a great degree to his money. But one man -cant do everything in a scheme of this sort. Of course he looked -forward to help. And now theres a mean, petty feud set up against the -thing in the town, by certain persons who want to make it a failure. - -What can be their reasons? said Dorothea, with naive surprise. - -Chiefly Mr. Bulstrodes unpopularity, to begin with. Half the town -would almost take trouble for the sake of thwarting him. In this stupid -world most people never consider that a thing is good to be done unless -it is done by their own set. I had no connection with Bulstrode before -I came here. I look at him quite impartially, and I see that he has -some notionsthat he has set things on footwhich I can turn to good -public purpose. If a fair number of the better educated men went to -work with the belief that their observations might contribute to the -reform of medical doctrine and practice, we should soon see a change -for the better. Thats my point of view. I hold that by refusing to -work with Mr. Bulstrode I should be turning my back on an opportunity -of making my profession more generally serviceable. - -I quite agree with you, said Dorothea, at once fascinated by the -situation sketched in Lydgates words. But what is there against Mr. -Bulstrode? I know that my uncle is friendly with him. - -People dont like his religious tone, said Lydgate, breaking off -there. - -That is all the stronger reason for despising such an opposition, -said Dorothea, looking at the affairs of Middlemarch by the light of -the great persecutions. - -To put the matter quite fairly, they have other objections to him:he -is masterful and rather unsociable, and he is concerned with trade, -which has complaints of its own that I know nothing about. But what has -that to do with the question whether it would not be a fine thing to -establish here a more valuable hospital than any they have in the -county? The immediate motive to the opposition, however, is the fact -that Bulstrode has put the medical direction into my hands. Of course I -am glad of that. It gives me an opportunity of doing some good -work,and I am aware that I have to justify his choice of me. But the -consequence is, that the whole profession in Middlemarch have set -themselves tooth and nail against the Hospital, and not only refuse to -cooperate themselves, but try to blacken the whole affair and hinder -subscriptions. - -How very petty! exclaimed Dorothea, indignantly. - -I suppose one must expect to fight ones way: there is hardly anything -to be done without it. And the ignorance of people about here is -stupendous. I dont lay claim to anything else than having used some -opportunities which have not come within everybodys reach; but there -is no stifling the offence of being young, and a new-comer, and -happening to know something more than the old inhabitants. Still, if I -believe that I can set going a better method of treatmentif I believe -that I can pursue certain observations and inquiries which may be a -lasting benefit to medical practice, I should be a base truckler if I -allowed any consideration of personal comfort to hinder me. And the -course is all the clearer from there being no salary in question to put -my persistence in an equivocal light. - -I am glad you have told me this, Mr. Lydgate, said Dorothea, -cordially. I feel sure I can help a little. I have some money, and -dont know what to do with itthat is often an uncomfortable thought to -me. I am sure I can spare two hundred a-year for a grand purpose like -this. How happy you must be, to know things that you feel sure will do -great good! I wish I could awake with that knowledge every morning. -There seems to be so much trouble taken that one can hardly see the -good of! - -There was a melancholy cadence in Dorotheas voice as she spoke these -last words. But she presently added, more cheerfully, Pray come to -Lowick and tell us more of this. I will mention the subject to Mr. -Casaubon. I must hasten home now. - -She did mention it that evening, and said that she should like to -subscribe two hundred a-yearshe had seven hundred a-year as the -equivalent of her own fortune, settled on her at her marriage. Mr. -Casaubon made no objection beyond a passing remark that the sum might -be disproportionate in relation to other good objects, but when -Dorothea in her ignorance resisted that suggestion, he acquiesced. He -did not care himself about spending money, and was not reluctant to -give it. If he ever felt keenly any question of money it was through -the medium of another passion than the love of material property. - -Dorothea told him that she had seen Lydgate, and recited the gist of -her conversation with him about the Hospital. Mr. Casaubon did not -question her further, but he felt sure that she had wished to know what -had passed between Lydgate and himself. She knows that I know, said -the ever-restless voice within; but that increase of tacit knowledge -only thrust further off any confidence between them. He distrusted her -affection; and what loneliness is more lonely than distrust? - - - - -CHAPTER XLV. - -It is the humor of many heads to extol the days of their forefathers, -and declaim against the wickedness of times present. Which -notwithstanding they cannot handsomely do, without the borrowed help -and satire of times past; condemning the vices of their own times, by -the expressions of vices in times which they commend, which cannot but -argue the community of vice in both. Horace, therefore, Juvenal, and -Persius, were no prophets, although their lines did seem to indigitate -and point at our times.SIR THOMAS BROWNE: _Pseudodoxia Epidemica_. - - -That opposition to the New Fever Hospital which Lydgate had sketched to -Dorothea was, like other oppositions, to be viewed in many different -lights. He regarded it as a mixture of jealousy and dunderheaded -prejudice. Mr. Bulstrode saw in it not only medical jealousy but a -determination to thwart himself, prompted mainly by a hatred of that -vital religion of which he had striven to be an effectual lay -representativea hatred which certainly found pretexts apart from -religion such as were only too easy to find in the entanglements of -human action. These might be called the ministerial views. But -oppositions have the illimitable range of objections at command, which -need never stop short at the boundary of knowledge, but can draw -forever on the vasts of ignorance. What the opposition in Middlemarch -said about the New Hospital and its administration had certainly a -great deal of echo in it, for heaven has taken care that everybody -shall not be an originator; but there were differences which -represented every social shade between the polished moderation of Dr. -Minchin and the trenchant assertion of Mrs. Dollop, the landlady of the -Tankard in Slaughter Lane. - -Mrs. Dollop became more and more convinced by her own asseveration, -that Dr. Lydgate meant to let the people die in the Hospital, if not to -poison them, for the sake of cutting them up without saying by your -leave or with your leave; for it was a known fac that he had wanted -to cut up Mrs. Goby, as respectable a woman as any in Parley Street, -who had money in trust before her marriagea poor tale for a doctor, -who if he was good for anything should know what was the matter with -you before you died, and not want to pry into your inside after you -were gone. If that was not reason, Mrs. Dollop wished to know what was; -but there was a prevalent feeling in her audience that her opinion was -a bulwark, and that if it were overthrown there would be no limits to -the cutting-up of bodies, as had been well seen in Burke and Hare with -their pitch-plaisterssuch a hanging business as that was not wanted in -Middlemarch! - -And let it not be supposed that opinion at the Tankard in Slaughter -Lane was unimportant to the medical profession: that old authentic -public-housethe original Tankard, known by the name of Dollopswas -the resort of a great Benefit Club, which had some months before put to -the vote whether its long-standing medical man, Doctor Gambit, should -not be cashiered in favor of this Doctor Lydgate, who was capable of -performing the most astonishing cures, and rescuing people altogether -given up by other practitioners. But the balance had been turned -against Lydgate by two members, who for some private reasons held that -this power of resuscitating persons as good as dead was an equivocal -recommendation, and might interfere with providential favors. In the -course of the year, however, there had been a change in the public -sentiment, of which the unanimity at Dollops was an index. - -A good deal more than a year ago, before anything was known of -Lydgates skill, the judgments on it had naturally been divided, -depending on a sense of likelihood, situated perhaps in the pit of the -stomach or in the pineal gland, and differing in its verdicts, but not -the less valuable as a guide in the total deficit of evidence. Patients -who had chronic diseases or whose lives had long been worn threadbare, -like old Featherstones, had been at once inclined to try him; also, -many who did not like paying their doctors bills, thought agreeably of -opening an account with a new doctor and sending for him without stint -if the childrens temper wanted a dose, occasions when the old -practitioners were often crusty; and all persons thus inclined to -employ Lydgate held it likely that he was clever. Some considered that -he might do more than others where there was liver;at least there -would be no harm in getting a few bottles of stuff from him, since if -these proved useless it would still be possible to return to the -Purifying Pills, which kept you alive if they did not remove the -yellowness. But these were people of minor importance. Good Middlemarch -families were of course not going to change their doctor without reason -shown; and everybody who had employed Mr. Peacock did not feel obliged -to accept a new man merely in the character of his successor, objecting -that he was not likely to be equal to Peacock. - -But Lydgate had not been long in the town before there were particulars -enough reported of him to breed much more specific expectations and to -intensify differences into partisanship; some of the particulars being -of that impressive order of which the significance is entirely hidden, -like a statistical amount without a standard of comparison, but with a -note of exclamation at the end. The cubic feet of oxygen yearly -swallowed by a full-grown manwhat a shudder they might have created in -some Middlemarch circles! Oxygen! nobody knows what that may beis it -any wonder the cholera has got to Dantzic? And yet there are people who -say quarantine is no good! - -One of the facts quickly rumored was that Lydgate did not dispense -drugs. This was offensive both to the physicians whose exclusive -distinction seemed infringed on, and to the surgeon-apothecaries with -whom he ranged himself; and only a little while before, they might have -counted on having the law on their side against a man who without -calling himself a London-made M.D. dared to ask for pay except as a -charge on drugs. But Lydgate had not been experienced enough to foresee -that his new course would be even more offensive to the laity; and to -Mr. Mawmsey, an important grocer in the Top Market, who, though not one -of his patients, questioned him in an affable manner on the subject, he -was injudicious enough to give a hasty popular explanation of his -reasons, pointing out to Mr. Mawmsey that it must lower the character -of practitioners, and be a constant injury to the public, if their only -mode of getting paid for their work was by their making out long bills -for draughts, boluses, and mixtures. - -It is in that way that hard-working medical men may come to be almost -as mischievous as quacks, said Lydgate, rather thoughtlessly. To get -their own bread they must overdose the kings lieges; and thats a bad -sort of treason, Mr. Mawmseyundermines the constitution in a fatal -way. - -Mr. Mawmsey was not only an overseer (it was about a question of -outdoor pay that he was having an interview with Lydgate), he was also -asthmatic and had an increasing family: thus, from a medical point of -view, as well as from his own, he was an important man; indeed, an -exceptional grocer, whose hair was arranged in a flame-like pyramid, -and whose retail deference was of the cordial, encouraging -kindjocosely complimentary, and with a certain considerate abstinence -from letting out the full force of his mind. It was Mr. Mawmseys -friendly jocoseness in questioning him which had set the tone of -Lydgates reply. But let the wise be warned against too great readiness -at explanation: it multiplies the sources of mistake, lengthening the -sum for reckoners sure to go wrong. - -Lydgate smiled as he ended his speech, putting his foot into the -stirrup, and Mr. Mawmsey laughed more than he would have done if he had -known who the kings lieges were, giving his Good morning, sir, -good-morning, sir, with the air of one who saw everything clearly -enough. But in truth his views were perturbed. For years he had been -paying bills with strictly made items, so that for every half-crown and -eighteen-pence he was certain something measurable had been delivered. -He had done this with satisfaction, including it among his -responsibilities as a husband and father, and regarding a longer bill -than usual as a dignity worth mentioning. Moreover, in addition to the -massive benefit of the drugs to self and family, he had enjoyed the -pleasure of forming an acute judgment as to their immediate effects, so -as to give an intelligent statement for the guidance of Mr. Gambita -practitioner just a little lower in status than Wrench or Toller, and -especially esteemed as an accoucheur, of whose ability Mr. Mawmsey had -the poorest opinion on all other points, but in doctoring, he was wont -to say in an undertone, he placed Gambit above any of them. - -Here were deeper reasons than the superficial talk of a new man, which -appeared still flimsier in the drawing-room over the shop, when they -were recited to Mrs. Mawmsey, a woman accustomed to be made much of as -a fertile mother,generally under attendance more or less frequent from -Mr. Gambit, and occasionally having attacks which required Dr. Minchin. - -Does this Mr. Lydgate mean to say there is no use in taking medicine? -said Mrs. Mawmsey, who was slightly given to drawling. I should like -him to tell me how I could bear up at Fair time, if I didnt take -strengthening medicine for a month beforehand. Think of what I have to -provide for calling customers, my dear!here Mrs. Mawmsey turned to an -intimate female friend who sat bya large veal piea stuffed filleta -round of beefham, tongue, et cetera, et cetera! But what keeps me up -best is the pink mixture, not the brown. I wonder, Mr. Mawmsey, with -_your_ experience, you could have patience to listen. I should have -told him at once that I knew a little better than that. - -No, no, no, said Mr. Mawmsey; I was not going to tell him my -opinion. Hear everything and judge for yourself is my motto. But he -didnt know who he was talking to. I was not to be turned on _his_ -finger. People often pretend to tell me things, when they might as well -say, Mawmsey, youre a fool. But I smile at it: I humor everybodys -weak place. If physic had done harm to self and family, I should have -found it out by this time. - -The next day Mr. Gambit was told that Lydgate went about saying physic -was of no use. - -Indeed! said he, lifting his eyebrows with cautious surprise. (He was -a stout husky man with a large ring on his fourth finger.) How will he -cure his patients, then? - -That is what I say, returned Mrs. Mawmsey, who habitually gave weight -to her speech by loading her pronouns. Does _he_ suppose that people -will pay him only to come and sit with them and go away again? - -Mrs. Mawmsey had had a great deal of sitting from Mr. Gambit, including -very full accounts of his own habits of body and other affairs; but of -course he knew there was no innuendo in her remark, since his spare -time and personal narrative had never been charged for. So he replied, -humorously - -Well, Lydgate is a good-looking young fellow, you know. - -Not one that _I_ would employ, said Mrs. Mawmsey. _Others_ may do as -they please. - -Hence Mr. Gambit could go away from the chief grocers without fear of -rivalry, but not without a sense that Lydgate was one of those -hypocrites who try to discredit others by advertising their own -honesty, and that it might be worth some peoples while to show him up. -Mr. Gambit, however, had a satisfactory practice, much pervaded by the -smells of retail trading which suggested the reduction of cash payments -to a balance. And he did not think it worth his while to show Lydgate -up until he knew how. He had not indeed great resources of education, -and had had to work his own way against a good deal of professional -contempt; but he made none the worse accoucheur for calling the -breathing apparatus longs. - -Other medical men felt themselves more capable. Mr. Toller shared the -highest practice in the town and belonged to an old Middlemarch family: -there were Tollers in the law and everything else above the line of -retail trade. Unlike our irascible friend Wrench, he had the easiest -way in the world of taking things which might be supposed to annoy him, -being a well-bred, quietly facetious man, who kept a good house, was -very fond of a little sporting when he could get it, very friendly with -Mr. Hawley, and hostile to Mr. Bulstrode. It may seem odd that with -such pleasant habits he should have been given to the heroic treatment, -bleeding and blistering and starving his patients, with a dispassionate -disregard to his personal example; but the incongruity favored the -opinion of his ability among his patients, who commonly observed that -Mr. Toller had lazy manners, but his treatment was as active as you -could desire: no man, said they, carried more seriousness into his -profession: he was a little slow in coming, but when he came, he _did_ -something. He was a great favorite in his own circle, and whatever he -implied to any ones disadvantage told doubly from his careless -ironical tone. - -He naturally got tired of smiling and saying, Ah! when he was told -that Mr. Peacocks successor did not mean to dispense medicines; and -Mr. Hackbutt one day mentioning it over the wine at a dinner-party, Mr. -Toller said, laughingly, Dibbitts will get rid of his stale drugs, -then. Im fond of little DibbittsIm glad hes in luck. - -I see your meaning, Toller, said Mr. Hackbutt, and I am entirely of -your opinion. I shall take an opportunity of expressing myself to that -effect. A medical man should be responsible for the quality of the -drugs consumed by his patients. That is the rationale of the system of -charging which has hitherto obtained; and nothing is more offensive -than this ostentation of reform, where there is no real amelioration. - -Ostentation, Hackbutt? said Mr. Toller, ironically. I dont see -that. A man cant very well be ostentatious of what nobody believes in. -Theres no reform in the matter: the question is, whether the profit on -the drugs is paid to the medical man by the druggist or by the patient, -and whether there shall be extra pay under the name of attendance. - -Ah, to be sure; one of your damned new versions of old humbug, said -Mr. Hawley, passing the decanter to Mr. Wrench. - -Mr. Wrench, generally abstemious, often drank wine rather freely at a -party, getting the more irritable in consequence. - -As to humbug, Hawley, he said, thats a word easy to fling about. -But what I contend against is the way medical men are fouling their own -nest, and setting up a cry about the country as if a general -practitioner who dispenses drugs couldnt be a gentleman. I throw back -the imputation with scorn. I say, the most ungentlemanly trick a man -can be guilty of is to come among the members of his profession with -innovations which are a libel on their time-honored procedure. That is -my opinion, and I am ready to maintain it against any one who -contradicts me. Mr. Wrenchs voice had become exceedingly sharp. - -I cant oblige you there, Wrench, said Mr. Hawley, thrusting his -hands into his trouser-pockets. - -My dear fellow, said Mr. Toller, striking in pacifically, and looking -at Mr. Wrench, the physicians have their toes trodden on more than we -have. If you come to dignity it is a question for Minchin and Sprague. - -Does medical jurisprudence provide nothing against these -infringements? said Mr. Hackbutt, with a disinterested desire to offer -his lights. How does the law stand, eh, Hawley? - -Nothing to be done there, said Mr. Hawley. I looked into it for -Sprague. Youd only break your nose against a damned judges decision. - -Pooh! no need of law, said Mr. Toller. So far as practice is -concerned the attempt is an absurdity. No patient will like -itcertainly not Peacocks, who have been used to depletion. Pass the -wine. - -Mr. Tollers prediction was partly verified. If Mr. and Mrs. Mawmsey, -who had no idea of employing Lydgate, were made uneasy by his supposed -declaration against drugs, it was inevitable that those who called him -in should watch a little anxiously to see whether he did use all the -means he might use in the case. Even good Mr. Powderell, who in his -constant charity of interpretation was inclined to esteem Lydgate the -more for what seemed a conscientious pursuit of a better plan, had his -mind disturbed with doubts during his wifes attack of erysipelas, and -could not abstain from mentioning to Lydgate that Mr. Peacock on a -similar occasion had administered a series of boluses which were not -otherwise definable than by their remarkable effect in bringing Mrs. -Powderell round before Michaelmas from an illness which had begun in a -remarkably hot August. At last, indeed, in the conflict between his -desire not to hurt Lydgate and his anxiety that no means should be -lacking, he induced his wife privately to take Widgeons Purifying -Pills, an esteemed Middlemarch medicine, which arrested every disease -at the fountain by setting to work at once upon the blood. This -co-operative measure was not to be mentioned to Lydgate, and Mr. -Powderell himself had no certain reliance on it, only hoping that it -might be attended with a blessing. - -But in this doubtful stage of Lydgates introduction he was helped by -what we mortals rashly call good fortune. I suppose no doctor ever came -newly to a place without making cures that surprised somebodycures -which may be called fortunes testimonials, and deserve as much credit -as the written or printed kind. Various patients got well while Lydgate -was attending them, some even of dangerous illnesses; and it was -remarked that the new doctor with his new ways had at least the merit -of bringing people back from the brink of death. The trash talked on -such occasions was the more vexatious to Lydgate, because it gave -precisely the sort of prestige which an incompetent and unscrupulous -man would desire, and was sure to be imputed to him by the simmering -dislike of the other medical men as an encouragement on his own part of -ignorant puffing. But even his proud outspokenness was checked by the -discernment that it was as useless to fight against the interpretations -of ignorance as to whip the fog; and good fortune insisted on using -those interpretations. - -Mrs. Larcher having just become charitably concerned about alarming -symptoms in her charwoman, when Dr. Minchin called, asked him to see -her then and there, and to give her a certificate for the Infirmary; -whereupon after examination he wrote a statement of the case as one of -tumor, and recommended the bearer Nancy Nash as an out-patient. Nancy, -calling at home on her way to the Infirmary, allowed the stay maker and -his wife, in whose attic she lodged, to read Dr. Minchins paper, and -by this means became a subject of compassionate conversation in the -neighboring shops of Churchyard Lane as being afflicted with a tumor at -first declared to be as large and hard as a ducks egg, but later in -the day to be about the size of your fist. Most hearers agreed that -it would have to be cut out, but one had known of oil and another of -squitchineal as adequate to soften and reduce any lump in the body -when taken enough of into the insidethe oil by gradually soopling, -the squitchineal by eating away. - -Meanwhile when Nancy presented herself at the Infirmary, it happened to -be one of Lydgates days there. After questioning and examining her, -Lydgate said to the house-surgeon in an undertone, Its not tumor: -its cramp. He ordered her a blister and some steel mixture, and told -her to go home and rest, giving her at the same time a note to Mrs. -Larcher, who, she said, was her best employer, to testify that she was -in need of good food. - -But by-and-by Nancy, in her attic, became portentously worse, the -supposed tumor having indeed given way to the blister, but only -wandered to another region with angrier pain. The staymakers wife went -to fetch Lydgate, and he continued for a fortnight to attend Nancy in -her own home, until under his treatment she got quite well and went to -work again. But the case continued to be described as one of tumor in -Churchyard Lane and other streetsnay, by Mrs. Larcher also; for when -Lydgates remarkable cure was mentioned to Dr. Minchin, he naturally -did not like to say, The case was not one of tumor, and I was mistaken -in describing it as such, but answered, Indeed! ah! I saw it was a -surgical case, not of a fatal kind. He had been inwardly annoyed, -however, when he had asked at the Infirmary about the woman he had -recommended two days before, to hear from the house-surgeon, a -youngster who was not sorry to vex Minchin with impunity, exactly what -had occurred: he privately pronounced that it was indecent in a general -practitioner to contradict a physicians diagnosis in that open manner, -and afterwards agreed with Wrench that Lydgate was disagreeably -inattentive to etiquette. Lydgate did not make the affair a ground for -valuing himself or (very particularly) despising Minchin, such -rectification of misjudgments often happening among men of equal -qualifications. But report took up this amazing case of tumor, not -clearly distinguished from cancer, and considered the more awful for -being of the wandering sort; till much prejudice against Lydgates -method as to drugs was overcome by the proof of his marvellous skill in -the speedy restoration of Nancy Nash after she had been rolling and -rolling in agonies from the presence of a tumor both hard and -obstinate, but nevertheless compelled to yield. - -How could Lydgate help himself? It is offensive to tell a lady when she -is expressing her amazement at your skill, that she is altogether -mistaken and rather foolish in her amazement. And to have entered into -the nature of diseases would only have added to his breaches of medical -propriety. Thus he had to wince under a promise of success given by -that ignorant praise which misses every valid quality. - -In the case of a more conspicuous patient, Mr. Borthrop Trumbull, -Lydgate was conscious of having shown himself something better than an -every-day doctor, though here too it was an equivocal advantage that he -won. The eloquent auctioneer was seized with pneumonia, and having been -a patient of Mr. Peacocks, sent for Lydgate, whom he had expressed his -intention to patronize. Mr Trumbull was a robust man, a good subject -for trying the expectant theory uponwatching the course of an -interesting disease when left as much as possible to itself, so that -the stages might be noted for future guidance; and from the air with -which he described his sensations Lydgate surmised that he would like -to be taken into his medical mans confidence, and be represented as a -partner in his own cure. The auctioneer heard, without much surprise, -that his was a constitution which (always with due watching) might be -left to itself, so as to offer a beautiful example of a disease with -all its phases seen in clear delineation, and that he probably had the -rare strength of mind voluntarily to become the test of a rational -procedure, and thus make the disorder of his pulmonary functions a -general benefit to society. - -Mr. Trumbull acquiesced at once, and entered strongly into the view -that an illness of his was no ordinary occasion for medical science. - -Never fear, sir; you are not speaking to one who is altogether -ignorant of the _vis medicatrix_, said he, with his usual superiority -of expression, made rather pathetic by difficulty of breathing. And he -went without shrinking through his abstinence from drugs, much -sustained by application of the thermometer which implied the -importance of his temperature, by the sense that he furnished objects -for the microscope, and by learning many new words which seemed suited -to the dignity of his secretions. For Lydgate was acute enough to -indulge him with a little technical talk. - -It may be imagined that Mr. Trumbull rose from his couch with a -disposition to speak of an illness in which he had manifested the -strength of his mind as well as constitution; and he was not backward -in awarding credit to the medical man who had discerned the quality of -patient he had to deal with. The auctioneer was not an ungenerous man, -and liked to give others their due, feeling that he could afford it. He -had caught the words expectant method, and rang chimes on this and -other learned phrases to accompany the assurance that Lydgate knew a -thing or two more than the rest of the doctorswas far better versed in -the secrets of his profession than the majority of his compeers. - -This had happened before the affair of Fred Vincys illness had given -to Mr. Wrenchs enmity towards Lydgate more definite personal ground. -The new-comer already threatened to be a nuisance in the shape of -rivalry, and was certainly a nuisance in the shape of practical -criticism or reflections on his hard-driven elders, who had had -something else to do than to busy themselves with untried notions. His -practice had spread in one or two quarters, and from the first the -report of his high family had led to his being pretty generally -invited, so that the other medical men had to meet him at dinner in the -best houses; and having to meet a man whom you dislike is not observed -always to end in a mutual attachment. There was hardly ever so much -unanimity among them as in the opinion that Lydgate was an arrogant -young fellow, and yet ready for the sake of ultimately predominating to -show a crawling subservience to Bulstrode. That Mr. Farebrother, whose -name was a chief flag of the anti-Bulstrode party, always defended -Lydgate and made a friend of him, was referred to Farebrothers -unaccountable way of fighting on both sides. - -Here was plenty of preparation for the outburst of professional disgust -at the announcement of the laws Mr. Bulstrode was laying down for the -direction of the New Hospital, which were the more exasperating because -there was no present possibility of interfering with his will and -pleasure, everybody except Lord Medlicote having refused help towards -the building, on the ground that they preferred giving to the Old -Infirmary. Mr. Bulstrode met all the expenses, and had ceased to be -sorry that he was purchasing the right to carry out his notions of -improvement without hindrance from prejudiced coadjutors; but he had -had to spend large sums, and the building had lingered. Caleb Garth had -undertaken it, had failed during its progress, and before the interior -fittings were begun had retired from the management of the business; -and when referring to the Hospital he often said that however Bulstrode -might ring if you tried him, he liked good solid carpentry and masonry, -and had a notion both of drains and chimneys. In fact, the Hospital had -become an object of intense interest to Bulstrode, and he would -willingly have continued to spare a large yearly sum that he might rule -it dictatorially without any Board; but he had another favorite object -which also required money for its accomplishment: he wished to buy some -land in the neighborhood of Middlemarch, and therefore he wished to get -considerable contributions towards maintaining the Hospital. Meanwhile -he framed his plan of management. The Hospital was to be reserved for -fever in all its forms; Lydgate was to be chief medical superintendent, -that he might have free authority to pursue all comparative -investigations which his studies, particularly in Paris, had shown him -the importance of, the other medical visitors having a consultative -influence, but no power to contravene Lydgates ultimate decisions; and -the general management was to be lodged exclusively in the hands of -five directors associated with Mr. Bulstrode, who were to have votes in -the ratio of their contributions, the Board itself filling up any -vacancy in its numbers, and no mob of small contributors being admitted -to a share of government. - -There was an immediate refusal on the part of every medical man in the -town to become a visitor at the Fever Hospital. - -Very well, said Lydgate to Mr. Bulstrode, we have a capital -house-surgeon and dispenser, a clear-headed, neat-handed fellow; well -get Webbe from Crabsley, as good a country practitioner as any of them, -to come over twice a-week, and in case of any exceptional operation, -Protheroe will come from Brassing. I must work the harder, thats all, -and I have given up my post at the Infirmary. The plan will flourish in -spite of them, and then theyll be glad to come in. Things cant last -as they are: there must be all sorts of reform soon, and then young -fellows may be glad to come and study here. Lydgate was in high -spirits. - -I shall not flinch, you may depend upon it, Mr. Lydgate, said Mr. -Bulstrode. While I see you carrying out high intentions with vigor, -you shall have my unfailing support. And I have humble confidence that -the blessing which has hitherto attended my efforts against the spirit -of evil in this town will not be withdrawn. Suitable directors to -assist me I have no doubt of securing. Mr. Brooke of Tipton has already -given me his concurrence, and a pledge to contribute yearly: he has not -specified the sumprobably not a great one. But he will be a useful -member of the board. - -A useful member was perhaps to be defined as one who would originate -nothing, and always vote with Mr. Bulstrode. - -The medical aversion to Lydgate was hardly disguised now. Neither Dr. -Sprague nor Dr. Minchin said that he disliked Lydgates knowledge, or -his disposition to improve treatment: what they disliked was his -arrogance, which nobody felt to be altogether deniable. They implied -that he was insolent, pretentious, and given to that reckless -innovation for the sake of noise and show which was the essence of the -charlatan. - -The word charlatan once thrown on the air could not be let drop. In -those days the world was agitated about the wondrous doings of Mr. St. -John Long, noblemen and gentlemen attesting his extraction of a fluid -like mercury from the temples of a patient. - -Mr. Toller remarked one day, smilingly, to Mrs. Taft, that Bulstrode -had found a man to suit him in Lydgate; a charlatan in religion is sure -to like other sorts of charlatans. - -Yes, indeed, I can imagine, said Mrs. Taft, keeping the number of -thirty stitches carefully in her mind all the while; there are so many -of that sort. I remember Mr. Cheshire, with his irons, trying to make -people straight when the Almighty had made them crooked. - -No, no, said Mr. Toller, Cheshire was all rightall fair and above -board. But theres St. John Longthats the kind of fellow we call a -charlatan, advertising cures in ways nobody knows anything about: a -fellow who wants to make a noise by pretending to go deeper than other -people. The other day he was pretending to tap a mans brain and get -quicksilver out of it. - -Good gracious! what dreadful trifling with peoples constitutions! -said Mrs. Taft. - -After this, it came to be held in various quarters that Lydgate played -even with respectable constitutions for his own purposes, and how much -more likely that in his flighty experimenting he should make sixes and -sevens of hospital patients. Especially it was to be expected, as the -landlady of the Tankard had said, that he would recklessly cut up their -dead bodies. For Lydgate having attended Mrs. Goby, who died apparently -of a heart-disease not very clearly expressed in the symptoms, too -daringly asked leave of her relatives to open the body, and thus gave -an offence quickly spreading beyond Parley Street, where that lady had -long resided on an income such as made this association of her body -with the victims of Burke and Hare a flagrant insult to her memory. - -Affairs were in this stage when Lydgate opened the subject of the -Hospital to Dorothea. We see that he was bearing enmity and silly -misconception with much spirit, aware that they were partly created by -his good share of success. - -They will not drive me away, he said, talking confidentially in Mr. -Farebrothers study. I have got a good opportunity here, for the ends -I care most about; and I am pretty sure to get income enough for our -wants. By-and-by I shall go on as quietly as possible: I have no -seductions now away from home and work. And I am more and more -convinced that it will be possible to demonstrate the homogeneous -origin of all the tissues. Raspail and others are on the same track, -and I have been losing time. - -I have no power of prophecy there, said Mr. Farebrother, who had been -puffing at his pipe thoughtfully while Lydgate talked; but as to the -hostility in the town, youll weather it if you are prudent. - -How am I to be prudent? said Lydgate, I just do what comes before me -to do. I cant help peoples ignorance and spite, any more than -Vesalius could. It isnt possible to square ones conduct to silly -conclusions which nobody can foresee. - -Quite true; I didnt mean that. I meant only two things. One is, keep -yourself as separable from Bulstrode as you can: of course, you can go -on doing good work of your own by his help; but dont get tied. Perhaps -it seems like personal feeling in me to say soand theres a good deal -of that, I ownbut personal feeling is not always in the wrong if you -boil it down to the impressions which make it simply an opinion. - -Bulstrode is nothing to me, said Lydgate, carelessly, except on -public grounds. As to getting very closely united to him, I am not fond -enough of him for that. But what was the other thing you meant? said -Lydgate, who was nursing his leg as comfortably as possible, and -feeling in no great need of advice. - -Why, this. Take care_experto crede_take care not to get hampered -about money matters. I know, by a word you let fall one day, that you -dont like my playing at cards so much for money. You are right enough -there. But try and keep clear of wanting small sums that you havent -got. I am perhaps talking rather superfluously; but a man likes to -assume superiority over himself, by holding up his bad example and -sermonizing on it. - -Lydgate took Mr. Farebrothers hints very cordially, though he would -hardly have borne them from another man. He could not help remembering -that he had lately made some debts, but these had seemed inevitable, -and he had no intention now to do more than keep house in a simple way. -The furniture for which he owed would not want renewing; nor even the -stock of wine for a long while. - -Many thoughts cheered him at that timeand justly. A man conscious of -enthusiasm for worthy aims is sustained under petty hostilities by the -memory of great workers who had to fight their way not without wounds, -and who hover in his mind as patron saints, invisibly helping. At home, -that same evening when he had been chatting with Mr. Farebrother, he -had his long legs stretched on the sofa, his head thrown back, and his -hands clasped behind it according to his favorite ruminating attitude, -while Rosamond sat at the piano, and played one tune after another, of -which her husband only knew (like the emotional elephant he was!) that -they fell in with his mood as if they had been melodious sea-breezes. - -There was something very fine in Lydgates look just then, and any one -might have been encouraged to bet on his achievement. In his dark eyes -and on his mouth and brow there was that placidity which comes from the -fulness of contemplative thoughtthe mind not searching, but beholding, -and the glance seeming to be filled with what is behind it. - -Presently Rosamond left the piano and seated herself on a chair close -to the sofa and opposite her husbands face. - -Is that enough music for you, my lord? she said, folding her hands -before her and putting on a little air of meekness. - -Yes, dear, if you are tired, said Lydgate, gently, turning his eyes -and resting them on her, but not otherwise moving. Rosamonds presence -at that moment was perhaps no more than a spoonful brought to the lake, -and her womans instinct in this matter was not dull. - -What is absorbing you? she said, leaning forward and bringing her -face nearer to his. - -He moved his hands and placed them gently behind her shoulders. - -I am thinking of a great fellow, who was about as old as I am three -hundred years ago, and had already begun a new era in anatomy. - -I cant guess, said Rosamond, shaking her head. We used to play at -guessing historical characters at Mrs. Lemons, but not anatomists. - -Ill tell you. His name was Vesalius. And the only way he could get to -know anatomy as he did, was by going to snatch bodies at night, from -graveyards and places of execution. - -Oh! said Rosamond, with a look of disgust on her pretty face, I am -very glad you are not Vesalius. I should have thought he might find -some less horrible way than that. - -No, he couldnt, said Lydgate, going on too earnestly to take much -notice of her answer. He could only get a complete skeleton by -snatching the whitened bones of a criminal from the gallows, and -burying them, and fetching them away by bits secretly, in the dead of -night. - -I hope he is not one of your great heroes, said Rosamond, half -playfully, half anxiously, else I shall have you getting up in the -night to go to St. Peters churchyard. You know how angry you told me -the people were about Mrs. Goby. You have enemies enough already. - -So had Vesalius, Rosy. No wonder the medical fogies in Middlemarch are -jealous, when some of the greatest doctors living were fierce upon -Vesalius because they had believed in Galen, and he showed that Galen -was wrong. They called him a liar and a poisonous monster. But the -facts of the human frame were on his side; and so he got the better of -them. - -And what happened to him afterwards? said Rosamond, with some -interest. - -Oh, he had a good deal of fighting to the last. And they did -exasperate him enough at one time to make him burn a good deal of his -work. Then he got shipwrecked just as he was coming from Jerusalem to -take a great chair at Padua. He died rather miserably. - -There was a moments pause before Rosamond said, Do you know, Tertius, -I often wish you had not been a medical man. - -Nay, Rosy, dont say that, said Lydgate, drawing her closer to him. -That is like saying you wish you had married another man. - -Not at all; you are clever enough for anything: you might easily have -been something else. And your cousins at Quallingham all think that you -have sunk below them in your choice of a profession. - -The cousins at Quallingham may go to the devil! said Lydgate, with -scorn. It was like their impudence if they said anything of the sort -to you. - -Still, said Rosamond, I do _not_ think it is a nice profession, -dear. We know that she had much quiet perseverance in her opinion. - -It is the grandest profession in the world, Rosamond, said Lydgate, -gravely. And to say that you love me without loving the medical man in -me, is the same sort of thing as to say that you like eating a peach -but dont like its flavor. Dont say that again, dear, it pains me. - -Very well, Doctor Grave-face, said Rosy, dimpling, I will declare in -future that I dote on skeletons, and body-snatchers, and bits of things -in phials, and quarrels with everybody, that end in your dying -miserably. - -No, no, not so bad as that, said Lydgate, giving up remonstrance and -petting her resignedly. - - - - -CHAPTER XLVI. - -Pues no podemos haber aquello que queremos, queramos aquello que -podremos. - -Since we cannot get what we like, let us like what we can get._Spanish -Proverb_. - - -While Lydgate, safely married and with the Hospital under his command, -felt himself struggling for Medical Reform against Middlemarch, -Middlemarch was becoming more and more conscious of the national -struggle for another kind of Reform. - -By the time that Lord John Russells measure was being debated in the -House of Commons, there was a new political animation in Middlemarch, -and a new definition of parties which might show a decided change of -balance if a new election came. And there were some who already -predicted this event, declaring that a Reform Bill would never be -carried by the actual Parliament. This was what Will Ladislaw dwelt on -to Mr. Brooke as a reason for congratulation that he had not yet tried -his strength at the hustings. - -Things will grow and ripen as if it were a comet year, said Will. -The public temper will soon get to a cometary heat, now the question -of Reform has set in. There is likely to be another election before -long, and by that time Middlemarch will have got more ideas into its -head. What we have to work at now is the Pioneer and political -meetings. - -Quite right, Ladislaw; we shall make a new thing of opinion here, -said Mr. Brooke. Only I want to keep myself independent about Reform, -you know; I dont want to go too far. I want to take up Wilberforces -and Romillys line, you know, and work at Negro Emancipation, Criminal -Lawthat kind of thing. But of course I should support Grey. - -If you go in for the principle of Reform, you must be prepared to take -what the situation offers, said Will. If everybody pulled for his own -bit against everybody else, the whole question would go to tatters. - -Yes, yes, I agree with youI quite take that point of view. I should -put it in that light. I should support Grey, you know. But I dont want -to change the balance of the constitution, and I dont think Grey -would. - -But that is what the country wants, said Will. Else there would be -no meaning in political unions or any other movement that knows what -its about. It wants to have a House of Commons which is not weighted -with nominees of the landed class, but with representatives of the -other interests. And as to contending for a reform short of that, it is -like asking for a bit of an avalanche which has already begun to -thunder. - -That is fine, Ladislaw: that is the way to put it. Write that down, -now. We must begin to get documents about the feeling of the country, -as well as the machine-breaking and general distress. - -As to documents, said Will, a two-inch card will hold plenty. A few -rows of figures are enough to deduce misery from, and a few more will -show the rate at which the political determination of the people is -growing. - -Good: draw that out a little more at length, Ladislaw. That is an -idea, now: write it out in the Pioneer. Put the figures and deduce -the misery, you know; and put the other figures and deduceand so on. -You have a way of putting things. Burke, now:when I think of Burke, I -cant help wishing somebody had a pocket-borough to give you, Ladislaw. -Youd never get elected, you know. And we shall always want talent in -the House: reform as we will, we shall always want talent. That -avalanche and the thunder, now, was really a little like Burke. I want -that sort of thingnot ideas, you know, but a way of putting them. - -Pocket-boroughs would be a fine thing, said Ladislaw, if they were -always in the right pocket, and there were always a Burke at hand. - -Will was not displeased with that complimentary comparison, even from -Mr. Brooke; for it is a little too trying to human flesh to be -conscious of expressing ones self better than others and never to have -it noticed, and in the general dearth of admiration for the right -thing, even a chance bray of applause falling exactly in time is rather -fortifying. Will felt that his literary refinements were usually beyond -the limits of Middlemarch perception; nevertheless, he was beginning -thoroughly to like the work of which when he began he had said to -himself rather languidly, Why not?and he studied the political -situation with as ardent an interest as he had ever given to poetic -metres or mediaevalism. It is undeniable that but for the desire to be -where Dorothea was, and perhaps the want of knowing what else to do, -Will would not at this time have been meditating on the needs of the -English people or criticising English statesmanship: he would probably -have been rambling in Italy sketching plans for several dramas, trying -prose and finding it too jejune, trying verse and finding it too -artificial, beginning to copy bits from old pictures, leaving off -because they were no good, and observing that, after all, -self-culture was the principal point; while in politics he would have -been sympathizing warmly with liberty and progress in general. Our -sense of duty must often wait for some work which shall take the place -of dilettanteism and make us feel that the quality of our action is not -a matter of indifference. - -Ladislaw had now accepted his bit of work, though it was not that -indeterminate loftiest thing which he had once dreamed of as alone -worthy of continuous effort. His nature warmed easily in the presence -of subjects which were visibly mixed with life and action, and the -easily stirred rebellion in him helped the glow of public spirit. In -spite of Mr. Casaubon and the banishment from Lowick, he was rather -happy; getting a great deal of fresh knowledge in a vivid way and for -practical purposes, and making the Pioneer celebrated as far as -Brassing (never mind the smallness of the area; the writing was not -worse than much that reaches the four corners of the earth). - -Mr. Brooke was occasionally irritating; but Wills impatience was -relieved by the division of his time between visits to the Grange and -retreats to his Middlemarch lodgings, which gave variety to his life. - -Shift the pegs a little, he said to himself, and Mr. Brooke might be -in the Cabinet, while I was Under-Secretary. That is the common order -of things: the little waves make the large ones and are of the same -pattern. I am better here than in the sort of life Mr. Casaubon would -have trained me for, where the doing would be all laid down by a -precedent too rigid for me to react upon. I dont care for prestige or -high pay. - -As Lydgate had said of him, he was a sort of gypsy, rather enjoying the -sense of belonging to no class; he had a feeling of romance in his -position, and a pleasant consciousness of creating a little surprise -wherever he went. That sort of enjoyment had been disturbed when he had -felt some new distance between himself and Dorothea in their accidental -meeting at Lydgates, and his irritation had gone out towards Mr. -Casaubon, who had declared beforehand that Will would lose caste. I -never had any caste, he would have said, if that prophecy had been -uttered to him, and the quick blood would have come and gone like -breath in his transparent skin. But it is one thing to like defiance, -and another thing to like its consequences. - -Meanwhile, the town opinion about the new editor of the Pioneer was -tending to confirm Mr. Casaubons view. Wills relationship in that -distinguished quarter did not, like Lydgates high connections, serve -as an advantageous introduction: if it was rumored that young Ladislaw -was Mr. Casaubons nephew or cousin, it was also rumored that Mr. -Casaubon would have nothing to do with him. - -Brooke has taken him up, said Mr. Hawley, because that is what no -man in his senses could have expected. Casaubon has devilish good -reasons, you may be sure, for turning the cold shoulder on a young -fellow whose bringing-up he paid for. Just like Brookeone of those -fellows who would praise a cat to sell a horse. - -And some oddities of Wills, more or less poetical, appeared to support -Mr. Keck, the editor of the Trumpet, in asserting that Ladislaw, if -the truth were known, was not only a Polish emissary but crack-brained, -which accounted for the preternatural quickness and glibness of his -speech when he got on to a platformas he did whenever he had an -opportunity, speaking with a facility which cast reflections on solid -Englishmen generally. It was disgusting to Keck to see a strip of a -fellow, with light curls round his head, get up and speechify by the -hour against institutions which had existed when he was in his -cradle. And in a leading article of the Trumpet, Keck characterized -Ladislaws speech at a Reform meeting as the violence of an -energumena miserable effort to shroud in the brilliancy of fireworks -the daring of irresponsible statements and the poverty of a knowledge -which was of the cheapest and most recent description. - -That was a rattling article yesterday, Keck, said Dr. Sprague, with -sarcastic intentions. But what is an energumen? - -Oh, a term that came up in the French Revolution, said Keck. - -This dangerous aspect of Ladislaw was strangely contrasted with other -habits which became matter of remark. He had a fondness, half artistic, -half affectionate, for little childrenthe smaller they were on -tolerably active legs, and the funnier their clothing, the better Will -liked to surprise and please them. We know that in Rome he was given to -ramble about among the poor people, and the taste did not quit him in -Middlemarch. - -He had somehow picked up a troop of droll children, little hatless boys -with their galligaskins much worn and scant shirting to hang out, -little girls who tossed their hair out of their eyes to look at him, -and guardian brothers at the mature age of seven. This troop he had led -out on gypsy excursions to Halsell Wood at nutting-time, and since the -cold weather had set in he had taken them on a clear day to gather -sticks for a bonfire in the hollow of a hillside, where he drew out a -small feast of gingerbread for them, and improvised a Punch-and-Judy -drama with some private home-made puppets. Here was one oddity. Another -was, that in houses where he got friendly, he was given to stretch -himself at full length on the rug while he talked, and was apt to be -discovered in this attitude by occasional callers for whom such an -irregularity was likely to confirm the notions of his dangerously mixed -blood and general laxity. - -But Wills articles and speeches naturally recommended him in families -which the new strictness of party division had marked off on the side -of Reform. He was invited to Mr. Bulstrodes; but here he could not lie -down on the rug, and Mrs. Bulstrode felt that his mode of talking about -Catholic countries, as if there were any truce with Antichrist, -illustrated the usual tendency to unsoundness in intellectual men. - -At Mr. Farebrothers, however, whom the irony of events had brought on -the same side with Bulstrode in the national movement, Will became a -favorite with the ladies; especially with little Miss Noble, whom it -was one of his oddities to escort when he met her in the street with -her little basket, giving her his arm in the eyes of the town, and -insisting on going with her to pay some call where she distributed her -small filchings from her own share of sweet things. - -But the house where he visited oftenest and lay most on the rug was -Lydgates. The two men were not at all alike, but they agreed none the -worse. Lydgate was abrupt but not irritable, taking little notice of -megrims in healthy people; and Ladislaw did not usually throw away his -susceptibilities on those who took no notice of them. With Rosamond, on -the other hand, he pouted and was waywardnay, often uncomplimentary, -much to her inward surprise; nevertheless he was gradually becoming -necessary to her entertainment by his companionship in her music, his -varied talk, and his freedom from the grave preoccupation which, with -all her husbands tenderness and indulgence, often made his manners -unsatisfactory to her, and confirmed her dislike of the medical -profession. - -Lydgate, inclined to be sarcastic on the superstitious faith of the -people in the efficacy of the bill, while nobody cared about the low -state of pathology, sometimes assailed Will with troublesome questions. -One evening in March, Rosamond in her cherry-colored dress with -swansdown trimming about the throat sat at the tea-table; Lydgate, -lately come in tired from his outdoor work, was seated sideways on an -easy-chair by the fire with one leg over the elbow, his brow looking a -little troubled as his eyes rambled over the columns of the Pioneer, -while Rosamond, having noticed that he was perturbed, avoided looking -at him, and inwardly thanked heaven that she herself had not a moody -disposition. Will Ladislaw was stretched on the rug contemplating the -curtain-pole abstractedly, and humming very low the notes of When -first I saw thy face; while the house spaniel, also stretched out with -small choice of room, looked from between his paws at the usurper of -the rug with silent but strong objection. - -Rosamond bringing Lydgate his cup of tea, he threw down the paper, and -said to Will, who had started up and gone to the table - -Its no use your puffing Brooke as a reforming landlord, Ladislaw: -they only pick the more holes in his coat in the Trumpet. - -No matter; those who read the Pioneer dont read the Trumpet, -said Will, swallowing his tea and walking about. Do you suppose the -public reads with a view to its own conversion? We should have a -witches brewing with a vengeance thenMingle, mingle, mingle, mingle, -You that mingle mayand nobody would know which side he was going to -take. - -Farebrother says, he doesnt believe Brooke would get elected if the -opportunity came: the very men who profess to be for him would bring -another member out of the bag at the right moment. - -Theres no harm in trying. Its good to have resident members. - -Why? said Lydgate, who was much given to use that inconvenient word -in a curt tone. - -They represent the local stupidity better, said Will, laughing, and -shaking his curls; and they are kept on their best behavior in the -neighborhood. Brooke is not a bad fellow, but he has done some good -things on his estate that he never would have done but for this -Parliamentary bite. - -Hes not fitted to be a public man, said Lydgate, with contemptuous -decision. He would disappoint everybody who counted on him: I can see -that at the Hospital. Only, there Bulstrode holds the reins and drives -him. - -That depends on how you fix your standard of public men, said Will. -Hes good enough for the occasion: when the people have made up their -mind as they are making it up now, they dont want a manthey only want -a vote. - -That is the way with you political writers, Ladislawcrying up a -measure as if it were a universal cure, and crying up men who are a -part of the very disease that wants curing. - -Why not? Men may help to cure themselves off the face of the land -without knowing it, said Will, who could find reasons impromptu, when -he had not thought of a question beforehand. - -That is no excuse for encouraging the superstitious exaggeration of -hopes about this particular measure, helping the cry to swallow it -whole and to send up voting popinjays who are good for nothing but to -carry it. You go against rottenness, and there is nothing more -thoroughly rotten than making people believe that society can be cured -by a political hocus-pocus. - -Thats very fine, my dear fellow. But your cure must begin somewhere, -and put it that a thousand things which debase a population can never -be reformed without this particular reform to begin with. Look what -Stanley said the other daythat the House had been tinkering long -enough at small questions of bribery, inquiring whether this or that -voter has had a guinea when everybody knows that the seats have been -sold wholesale. Wait for wisdom and conscience in public -agentsfiddlestick! The only conscience we can trust to is the massive -sense of wrong in a class, and the best wisdom that will work is the -wisdom of balancing claims. Thats my textwhich side is injured? I -support the man who supports their claims; not the virtuous upholder of -the wrong. - -That general talk about a particular case is mere question begging, -Ladislaw. When I say, I go in for the dose that cures, it doesnt -follow that I go in for opium in a given case of gout. - -I am not begging the question we are uponwhether we are to try for -nothing till we find immaculate men to work with. Should you go on that -plan? If there were one man who would carry you a medical reform and -another who would oppose it, should you inquire which had the better -motives or even the better brains? - -Oh, of course, said Lydgate, seeing himself checkmated by a move -which he had often used himself, if one did not work with such men as -are at hand, things must come to a dead-lock. Suppose the worst opinion -in the town about Bulstrode were a true one, that would not make it -less true that he has the sense and the resolution to do what I think -ought to be done in the matters I know and care most about; but that is -the only ground on which I go with him, Lydgate added rather proudly, -bearing in mind Mr. Farebrothers remarks. He is nothing to me -otherwise; I would not cry him up on any personal groundI would keep -clear of that. - -Do you mean that I cry up Brooke on any personal ground? said Will -Ladislaw, nettled, and turning sharp round. For the first time he felt -offended with Lydgate; not the less so, perhaps, because he would have -declined any close inquiry into the growth of his relation to Mr. -Brooke. - -Not at all, said Lydgate, I was simply explaining my own action. I -meant that a man may work for a special end with others whose motives -and general course are equivocal, if he is quite sure of his personal -independence, and that he is not working for his private -interesteither place or money. - -Then, why dont you extend your liberality to others? said Will, -still nettled. My personal independence is as important to me as yours -is to you. You have no more reason to imagine that I have personal -expectations from Brooke, than I have to imagine that you have personal -expectations from Bulstrode. Motives are points of honor, I -supposenobody can prove them. But as to money and place in the world, -Will ended, tossing back his head, I think it is pretty clear that I -am not determined by considerations of that sort. - -You quite mistake me, Ladislaw, said Lydgate, surprised. He had been -preoccupied with his own vindication, and had been blind to what -Ladislaw might infer on his own account. I beg your pardon for -unintentionally annoying you. In fact, I should rather attribute to you -a romantic disregard of your own worldly interests. On the political -question, I referred simply to intellectual bias. - -How very unpleasant you both are this evening! said Rosamond. I -cannot conceive why money should have been referred to. Politics and -Medicine are sufficiently disagreeable to quarrel upon. You can both of -you go on quarrelling with all the world and with each other on those -two topics. - -Rosamond looked mildly neutral as she said this, rising to ring the -bell, and then crossing to her work-table. - -Poor Rosy! said Lydgate, putting out his hand to her as she was -passing him. Disputation is not amusing to cherubs. Have some music. -Ask Ladislaw to sing with you. - -When Will was gone Rosamond said to her husband, What put you out of -temper this evening, Tertius? - -Me? It was Ladislaw who was out of temper. He is like a bit of -tinder. - -But I mean, before that. Something had vexed you before you came in, -you looked cross. And that made you begin to dispute with Mr. Ladislaw. -You hurt me very much when you look so, Tertius. - -Do I? Then I am a brute, said Lydgate, caressing her penitently. - -What vexed you? - -Oh, outdoor thingsbusiness. It was really a letter insisting on the -payment of a bill for furniture. But Rosamond was expecting to have a -baby, and Lydgate wished to save her from any perturbation. - - - - -CHAPTER XLVII. - -Was never true love loved in vain, -For truest love is highest gain. -No art can make it: it must spring -Where elements are fostering. -So in heavens spot and hour -Springs the little native flower, -Downward root and upward eye, -Shapen by the earth and sky. - - -It happened to be on a Saturday evening that Will Ladislaw had that -little discussion with Lydgate. Its effect when he went to his own -rooms was to make him sit up half the night, thinking over again, under -a new irritation, all that he had before thought of his having settled -in Middlemarch and harnessed himself with Mr. Brooke. Hesitations -before he had taken the step had since turned into susceptibility to -every hint that he would have been wiser not to take it; and hence came -his heat towards Lydgatea heat which still kept him restless. Was he -not making a fool of himself?and at a time when he was more than ever -conscious of being something better than a fool? And for what end? - -Well, for no definite end. True, he had dreamy visions of -possibilities: there is no human being who having both passions and -thoughts does not think in consequence of his passionsdoes not find -images rising in his mind which soothe the passion with hope or sting -it with dread. But this, which happens to us all, happens to some with -a wide difference; and Will was not one of those whose wit keeps the -roadway: he had his bypaths where there were little joys of his own -choosing, such as gentlemen cantering on the highroad might have -thought rather idiotic. The way in which he made a sort of happiness -for himself out of his feeling for Dorothea was an example of this. It -may seem strange, but it is the fact, that the ordinary vulgar vision -of which Mr. Casaubon suspected himnamely, that Dorothea might become -a widow, and that the interest he had established in her mind might -turn into acceptance of him as a husbandhad no tempting, arresting -power over him; he did not live in the scenery of such an event, and -follow it out, as we all do with that imagined otherwise which is our -practical heaven. It was not only that he was unwilling to entertain -thoughts which could be accused of baseness, and was already uneasy in -the sense that he had to justify himself from the charge of -ingratitudethe latent consciousness of many other barriers between -himself and Dorothea besides the existence of her husband, had helped -to turn away his imagination from speculating on what might befall Mr. -Casaubon. And there were yet other reasons. Will, we know, could not -bear the thought of any flaw appearing in his crystal: he was at once -exasperated and delighted by the calm freedom with which Dorothea -looked at him and spoke to him, and there was something so exquisite in -thinking of her just as she was, that he could not long for a change -which must somehow change her. Do we not shun the street version of a -fine melody?or shrink from the news that the raritysome bit of -chiselling or engraving perhapswhich we have dwelt on even with -exultation in the trouble it has cost us to snatch glimpses of it, is -really not an uncommon thing, and may be obtained as an every-day -possession? Our good depends on the quality and breadth of our emotion; -and to Will, a creature who cared little for what are called the solid -things of life and greatly for its subtler influences, to have within -him such a feeling as he had towards Dorothea, was like the inheritance -of a fortune. What others might have called the futility of his -passion, made an additional delight for his imagination: he was -conscious of a generous movement, and of verifying in his own -experience that higher love-poetry which had charmed his fancy. -Dorothea, he said to himself, was forever enthroned in his soul: no -other woman could sit higher than her footstool; and if he could have -written out in immortal syllables the effect she wrought within him, he -might have boasted after the example of old Drayton, that, - -Queens hereafter might be glad to live -Upon the alms of her superfluous praise. - - -But this result was questionable. And what else could he do for -Dorothea? What was his devotion worth to her? It was impossible to -tell. He would not go out of her reach. He saw no creature among her -friends to whom he could believe that she spoke with the same simple -confidence as to him. She had once said that she would like him to -stay; and stay he would, whatever fire-breathing dragons might hiss -around her. - -This had always been the conclusion of Wills hesitations. But he was -not without contradictoriness and rebellion even towards his own -resolve. He had often got irritated, as he was on this particular -night, by some outside demonstration that his public exertions with Mr. -Brooke as a chief could not seem as heroic as he would like them to be, -and this was always associated with the other ground of irritationthat -notwithstanding his sacrifice of dignity for Dorotheas sake, he could -hardly ever see her. Whereupon, not being able to contradict these -unpleasant facts, he contradicted his own strongest bias and said, I -am a fool. - -Nevertheless, since the inward debate necessarily turned on Dorothea, -he ended, as he had done before, only by getting a livelier sense of -what her presence would be to him; and suddenly reflecting that the -morrow would be Sunday, he determined to go to Lowick Church and see -her. He slept upon that idea, but when he was dressing in the rational -morning light, Objection said - -That will be a virtual defiance of Mr. Casaubons prohibition to visit -Lowick, and Dorothea will be displeased. - -Nonsense! argued Inclination, it would be too monstrous for him to -hinder me from going out to a pretty country church on a spring -morning. And Dorothea will be glad. - -It will be clear to Mr. Casaubon that you have come either to annoy -him or to see Dorothea. - -It is not true that I go to annoy him, and why should I not go to see -Dorothea? Is he to have everything to himself and be always -comfortable? Let him smart a little, as other people are obliged to do. -I have always liked the quaintness of the church and congregation; -besides, I know the Tuckers: I shall go into their pew. - -Having silenced Objection by force of unreason, Will walked to Lowick -as if he had been on the way to Paradise, crossing Halsell Common and -skirting the wood, where the sunlight fell broadly under the budding -boughs, bringing out the beauties of moss and lichen, and fresh green -growths piercing the brown. Everything seemed to know that it was -Sunday, and to approve of his going to Lowick Church. Will easily felt -happy when nothing crossed his humor, and by this time the thought of -vexing Mr. Casaubon had become rather amusing to him, making his face -break into its merry smile, pleasant to see as the breaking of sunshine -on the waterthough the occasion was not exemplary. But most of us are -apt to settle within ourselves that the man who blocks our way is -odious, and not to mind causing him a little of the disgust which his -personality excites in ourselves. Will went along with a small book -under his arm and a hand in each side-pocket, never reading, but -chanting a little, as he made scenes of what would happen in church and -coming out. He was experimenting in tunes to suit some words of his -own, sometimes trying a ready-made melody, sometimes improvising. The -words were not exactly a hymn, but they certainly fitted his Sunday -experience: - -O me, O me, what frugal cheer - My love doth feed upon! -A touch, a ray, that is not here, - A shadow that is gone: - -A dream of breath that might be near, - An inly-echoed tone, -The thought that one may think me dear, - The place where one was known, - -The tremor of a banished fear, - An ill that was not done -O me, O me, what frugal cheer - My love doth feed upon! - - -Sometimes, when he took off his hat, shaking his head backward, and -showing his delicate throat as he sang, he looked like an incarnation -of the spring whose spirit filled the aira bright creature, abundant -in uncertain promises. - -The bells were still ringing when he got to Lowick, and he went into -the curates pew before any one else arrived there. But he was still -left alone in it when the congregation had assembled. The curates pew -was opposite the rectors at the entrance of the small chancel, and -Will had time to fear that Dorothea might not come while he looked -round at the group of rural faces which made the congregation from year -to year within the white-washed walls and dark old pews, hardly with -more change than we see in the boughs of a tree which breaks here and -there with age, but yet has young shoots. Mr. Riggs frog-face was -something alien and unaccountable, but notwithstanding this shock to -the order of things, there were still the Waules and the rural stock of -the Powderells in their pews side by side; brother Samuels cheek had -the same purple round as ever, and the three generations of decent -cottagers came as of old with a sense of duty to their betters -generallythe smaller children regarding Mr. Casaubon, who wore the -black gown and mounted to the highest box, as probably the chief of all -betters, and the one most awful if offended. Even in 1831 Lowick was at -peace, not more agitated by Reform than by the solemn tenor of the -Sunday sermon. The congregation had been used to seeing Will at church -in former days, and no one took much note of him except the choir, who -expected him to make a figure in the singing. - -Dorothea did at last appear on this quaint background, walking up the -short aisle in her white beaver bonnet and gray cloakthe same she had -worn in the Vatican. Her face being, from her entrance, towards the -chancel, even her shortsighted eyes soon discerned Will, but there was -no outward show of her feeling except a slight paleness and a grave bow -as she passed him. To his own surprise Will felt suddenly -uncomfortable, and dared not look at her after they had bowed to each -other. Two minutes later, when Mr. Casaubon came out of the vestry, -and, entering the pew, seated himself in face of Dorothea, Will felt -his paralysis more complete. He could look nowhere except at the choir -in the little gallery over the vestry-door: Dorothea was perhaps -pained, and he had made a wretched blunder. It was no longer amusing to -vex Mr. Casaubon, who had the advantage probably of watching him and -seeing that he dared not turn his head. Why had he not imagined this -beforehand?but he could not expect that he should sit in that square -pew alone, unrelieved by any Tuckers, who had apparently departed from -Lowick altogether, for a new clergyman was in the desk. Still he called -himself stupid now for not foreseeing that it would be impossible for -him to look towards Dorotheanay, that she might feel his coming an -impertinence. There was no delivering himself from his cage, however; -and Will found his places and looked at his book as if he had been a -school-mistress, feeling that the morning service had never been so -immeasurably long before, that he was utterly ridiculous, out of -temper, and miserable. This was what a man got by worshipping the sight -of a woman! The clerk observed with surprise that Mr. Ladislaw did not -join in the tune of Hanover, and reflected that he might have a cold. - -Mr. Casaubon did not preach that morning, and there was no change in -Wills situation until the blessing had been pronounced and every one -rose. It was the fashion at Lowick for the betters to go out first. -With a sudden determination to break the spell that was upon him, Will -looked straight at Mr. Casaubon. But that gentlemans eyes were on the -button of the pew-door, which he opened, allowing Dorothea to pass, and -following her immediately without raising his eyelids. Wills glance -had caught Dorotheas as she turned out of the pew, and again she -bowed, but this time with a look of agitation, as if she were -repressing tears. Will walked out after them, but they went on towards -the little gate leading out of the churchyard into the shrubbery, never -looking round. - -It was impossible for him to follow them, and he could only walk back -sadly at mid-day along the same road which he had trodden hopefully in -the morning. The lights were all changed for him both without and -within. - - - - -CHAPTER XLVIII. - -Surely the golden hours are turning gray -And dance no more, and vainly strive to run: -I see their white locks streaming in the wind -Each face is haggard as it looks at me, -Slow turning in the constant clasping round -Storm-driven. - - -Dorotheas distress when she was leaving the church came chiefly from -the perception that Mr. Casaubon was determined not to speak to his -cousin, and that Wills presence at church had served to mark more -strongly the alienation between them. Wills coming seemed to her quite -excusable, nay, she thought it an amiable movement in him towards a -reconciliation which she herself had been constantly wishing for. He -had probably imagined, as she had, that if Mr. Casaubon and he could -meet easily, they would shake hands and friendly intercourse might -return. But now Dorothea felt quite robbed of that hope. Will was -banished further than ever, for Mr. Casaubon must have been newly -embittered by this thrusting upon him of a presence which he refused to -recognize. - -He had not been very well that morning, suffering from some difficulty -in breathing, and had not preached in consequence; she was not -surprised, therefore, that he was nearly silent at luncheon, still less -that he made no allusion to Will Ladislaw. For her own part she felt -that she could never again introduce that subject. They usually spent -apart the hours between luncheon and dinner on a Sunday; Mr. Casaubon -in the library dozing chiefly, and Dorothea in her boudoir, where she -was wont to occupy herself with some of her favorite books. There was a -little heap of them on the table in the bow-windowof various sorts, -from Herodotus, which she was learning to read with Mr. Casaubon, to -her old companion Pascal, and Kebles Christian Year. But to-day she -opened one after another, and could read none of them. Everything -seemed dreary: the portents before the birth of CyrusJewish -antiquitiesoh dear!devout epigramsthe sacred chime of favorite -hymnsall alike were as flat as tunes beaten on wood: even the spring -flowers and the grass had a dull shiver in them under the afternoon -clouds that hid the sun fitfully; even the sustaining thoughts which -had become habits seemed to have in them the weariness of long future -days in which she would still live with them for her sole companions. -It was another or rather a fuller sort of companionship that poor -Dorothea was hungering for, and the hunger had grown from the perpetual -effort demanded by her married life. She was always trying to be what -her husband wished, and never able to repose on his delight in what she -was. The thing that she liked, that she spontaneously cared to have, -seemed to be always excluded from her life; for if it was only granted -and not shared by her husband it might as well have been denied. About -Will Ladislaw there had been a difference between them from the first, -and it had ended, since Mr. Casaubon had so severely repulsed -Dorotheas strong feeling about his claims on the family property, by -her being convinced that she was in the right and her husband in the -wrong, but that she was helpless. This afternoon the helplessness was -more wretchedly benumbing than ever: she longed for objects who could -be dear to her, and to whom she could be dear. She longed for work -which would be directly beneficent like the sunshine and the rain, and -now it appeared that she was to live more and more in a virtual tomb, -where there was the apparatus of a ghastly labor producing what would -never see the light. Today she had stood at the door of the tomb and -seen Will Ladislaw receding into the distant world of warm activity and -fellowshipturning his face towards her as he went. - -Books were of no use. Thinking was of no use. It was Sunday, and she -could not have the carriage to go to Celia, who had lately had a baby. -There was no refuge now from spiritual emptiness and discontent, and -Dorothea had to bear her bad mood, as she would have borne a headache. - -After dinner, at the hour when she usually began to read aloud, Mr. -Casaubon proposed that they should go into the library, where, he said, -he had ordered a fire and lights. He seemed to have revived, and to be -thinking intently. - -In the library Dorothea observed that he had newly arranged a row of -his note-books on a table, and now he took up and put into her hand a -well-known volume, which was a table of contents to all the others. - -You will oblige me, my dear, he said, seating himself, if instead of -other reading this evening, you will go through this aloud, pencil in -hand, and at each point where I say mark, will make a cross with your -pencil. This is the first step in a sifting process which I have long -had in view, and as we go on I shall be able to indicate to you certain -principles of selection whereby you will, I trust, have an intelligent -participation in my purpose. - -This proposal was only one more sign added to many since his memorable -interview with Lydgate, that Mr. Casaubons original reluctance to let -Dorothea work with him had given place to the contrary disposition, -namely, to demand much interest and labor from her. - -After she had read and marked for two hours, he said, We will take the -volume up-stairsand the pencil, if you pleaseand in case of reading -in the night, we can pursue this task. It is not wearisome to you, I -trust, Dorothea? - -I prefer always reading what you like best to hear, said Dorothea, -who told the simple truth; for what she dreaded was to exert herself in -reading or anything else which left him as joyless as ever. - -It was a proof of the force with which certain characteristics in -Dorothea impressed those around her, that her husband, with all his -jealousy and suspicion, had gathered implicit trust in the integrity of -her promises, and her power of devoting herself to her idea of the -right and best. Of late he had begun to feel that these qualities were -a peculiar possession for himself, and he wanted to engross them. - -The reading in the night did come. Dorothea in her young weariness had -slept soon and fast: she was awakened by a sense of light, which seemed -to her at first like a sudden vision of sunset after she had climbed a -steep hill: she opened her eyes and saw her husband wrapped in his warm -gown seating himself in the arm-chair near the fire-place where the -embers were still glowing. He had lit two candles, expecting that -Dorothea would awake, but not liking to rouse her by more direct means. - -Are you ill, Edward? she said, rising immediately. - -I felt some uneasiness in a reclining posture. I will sit here for a -time. She threw wood on the fire, wrapped herself up, and said, You -would like me to read to you? - -You would oblige me greatly by doing so, Dorothea, said Mr. Casaubon, -with a shade more meekness than usual in his polite manner. I am -wakeful: my mind is remarkably lucid. - -I fear that the excitement may be too great for you, said Dorothea, -remembering Lydgates cautions. - -No, I am not conscious of undue excitement. Thought is easy. Dorothea -dared not insist, and she read for an hour or more on the same plan as -she had done in the evening, but getting over the pages with more -quickness. Mr. Casaubons mind was more alert, and he seemed to -anticipate what was coming after a very slight verbal indication, -saying, That will domark thator Pass on to the next headI omit -the second excursus on Crete. Dorothea was amazed to think of the -bird-like speed with which his mind was surveying the ground where it -had been creeping for years. At last he said - -Close the book now, my dear. We will resume our work to-morrow. I have -deferred it too long, and would gladly see it completed. But you -observe that the principle on which my selection is made, is to give -adequate, and not disproportionate illustration to each of the theses -enumerated in my introduction, as at present sketched. You have -perceived that distinctly, Dorothea? - -Yes, said Dorothea, rather tremulously. She felt sick at heart. - -And now I think that I can take some repose, said Mr. Casaubon. He -laid down again and begged her to put out the lights. When she had lain -down too, and there was a darkness only broken by a dull glow on the -hearth, he said - -Before I sleep, I have a request to make, Dorothea. - -What is it? said Dorothea, with dread in her mind. - -It is that you will let me know, deliberately, whether, in case of my -death, you will carry out my wishes: whether you will avoid doing what -I should deprecate, and apply yourself to do what I should desire. - -Dorothea was not taken by surprise: many incidents had been leading her -to the conjecture of some intention on her husbands part which might -make a new yoke for her. She did not answer immediately. - -You refuse? said Mr. Casaubon, with more edge in his tone. - -No, I do not yet refuse, said Dorothea, in a clear voice, the need of -freedom asserting itself within her; but it is too solemnI think it -is not rightto make a promise when I am ignorant what it will bind me -to. Whatever affection prompted I would do without promising. - -But you would use your own judgment: I ask you to obey mine; you -refuse. - -No, dear, no! said Dorothea, beseechingly, crushed by opposing fears. -But may I wait and reflect a little while? I desire with my whole soul -to do what will comfort you; but I cannot give any pledge -suddenlystill less a pledge to do I know not what. - -You cannot then confide in the nature of my wishes? - -Grant me till to-morrow, said Dorothea, beseechingly. - -Till to-morrow then, said Mr. Casaubon. - -Soon she could hear that he was sleeping, but there was no more sleep -for her. While she constrained herself to lie still lest she should -disturb him, her mind was carrying on a conflict in which imagination -ranged its forces first on one side and then on the other. She had no -presentiment that the power which her husband wished to establish over -her future action had relation to anything else than his work. But it -was clear enough to her that he would expect her to devote herself to -sifting those mixed heaps of material, which were to be the doubtful -illustration of principles still more doubtful. The poor child had -become altogether unbelieving as to the trustworthiness of that Key -which had made the ambition and the labor of her husbands life. It was -not wonderful that, in spite of her small instruction, her judgment in -this matter was truer than his: for she looked with unbiassed -comparison and healthy sense at probabilities on which he had risked -all his egoism. And now she pictured to herself the days, and months, -and years which she must spend in sorting what might be called -shattered mummies, and fragments of a tradition which was itself a -mosaic wrought from crushed ruinssorting them as food for a theory -which was already withered in the birth like an elfin child. Doubtless -a vigorous error vigorously pursued has kept the embryos of truth -a-breathing: the quest of gold being at the same time a questioning of -substances, the body of chemistry is prepared for its soul, and -Lavoisier is born. But Mr. Casaubons theory of the elements which made -the seed of all tradition was not likely to bruise itself unawares -against discoveries: it floated among flexible conjectures no more -solid than those etymologies which seemed strong because of likeness in -sound until it was shown that likeness in sound made them impossible: -it was a method of interpretation which was not tested by the necessity -of forming anything which had sharper collisions than an elaborate -notion of Gog and Magog: it was as free from interruption as a plan for -threading the stars together. And Dorothea had so often had to check -her weariness and impatience over this questionable riddle-guessing, as -it revealed itself to her instead of the fellowship in high knowledge -which was to make life worthier! She could understand well enough now -why her husband had come to cling to her, as possibly the only hope -left that his labors would ever take a shape in which they could be -given to the world. At first it had seemed that he wished to keep even -her aloof from any close knowledge of what he was doing; but gradually -the terrible stringency of human needthe prospect of a too speedy -death - -And here Dorotheas pity turned from her own future to her husbands -pastnay, to his present hard struggle with a lot which had grown out -of that past: the lonely labor, the ambition breathing hardly under the -pressure of self-distrust; the goal receding, and the heavier limbs; -and now at last the sword visibly trembling above him! And had she not -wished to marry him that she might help him in his lifes labor?But -she had thought the work was to be something greater, which she could -serve in devoutly for its own sake. Was it right, even to soothe his -griefwould it be possible, even if she promisedto work as in a -treadmill fruitlessly? - -And yet, could she deny him? Could she say, I refuse to content this -pining hunger? It would be refusing to do for him dead, what she was -almost sure to do for him living. If he lived as Lydgate had said he -might, for fifteen years or more, her life would certainly be spent in -helping him and obeying him. - -Still, there was a deep difference between that devotion to the living -and that indefinite promise of devotion to the dead. While he lived, he -could claim nothing that she would not still be free to remonstrate -against, and even to refuse. Butthe thought passed through her mind -more than once, though she could not believe in itmight he not mean to -demand something more from her than she had been able to imagine, since -he wanted her pledge to carry out his wishes without telling her -exactly what they were? No; his heart was bound up in his work only: -that was the end for which his failing life was to be eked out by hers. - -And now, if she were to say, No! if you die, I will put no finger to -your workit seemed as if she would be crushing that bruised heart. - -For four hours Dorothea lay in this conflict, till she felt ill and -bewildered, unable to resolve, praying mutely. Helpless as a child -which has sobbed and sought too long, she fell into a late morning -sleep, and when she waked Mr. Casaubon was already up. Tantripp told -her that he had read prayers, breakfasted, and was in the library. - -I never saw you look so pale, madam, said Tantripp, a solid-figured -woman who had been with the sisters at Lausanne. - -Was I ever high-colored, Tantripp? said Dorothea, smiling faintly. - -Well, not to say high-colored, but with a bloom like a Chiny rose. But -always smelling those leather books, what can be expected? Do rest a -little this morning, madam. Let me say you are ill and not able to go -into that close library. - -Oh no, no! let me make haste, said Dorothea. Mr. Casaubon wants me -particularly. - -When she went down she felt sure that she should promise to fulfil his -wishes; but that would be later in the daynot yet. - -As Dorothea entered the library, Mr. Casaubon turned round from the -table where he had been placing some books, and said - -I was waiting for your appearance, my dear. I had hoped to set to work -at once this morning, but I find myself under some indisposition, -probably from too much excitement yesterday. I am going now to take a -turn in the shrubbery, since the air is milder. - -I am glad to hear that, said Dorothea. Your mind, I feared, was too -active last night. - -I would fain have it set at rest on the point I last spoke of, -Dorothea. You can now, I hope, give me an answer. - -May I come out to you in the garden presently? said Dorothea, winning -a little breathing space in that way. - -I shall be in the Yew-tree Walk for the next half-hour, said Mr. -Casaubon, and then he left her. - -Dorothea, feeling very weary, rang and asked Tantripp to bring her some -wraps. She had been sitting still for a few minutes, but not in any -renewal of the former conflict: she simply felt that she was going to -say Yes to her own doom: she was too weak, too full of dread at the -thought of inflicting a keen-edged blow on her husband, to do anything -but submit completely. She sat still and let Tantripp put on her bonnet -and shawl, a passivity which was unusual with her, for she liked to -wait on herself. - -God bless you, madam! said Tantripp, with an irrepressible movement -of love towards the beautiful, gentle creature for whom she felt unable -to do anything more, now that she had finished tying the bonnet. - -This was too much for Dorotheas highly-strung feeling, and she burst -into tears, sobbing against Tantripps arm. But soon she checked -herself, dried her eyes, and went out at the glass door into the -shrubbery. - -I wish every book in that library was built into a caticom for your -master, said Tantripp to Pratt, the butler, finding him in the -breakfast-room. She had been at Rome, and visited the antiquities, as -we know; and she always declined to call Mr. Casaubon anything but -your master, when speaking to the other servants. - -Pratt laughed. He liked his master very well, but he liked Tantripp -better. - -When Dorothea was out on the gravel walks, she lingered among the -nearer clumps of trees, hesitating, as she had done once before, though -from a different cause. Then she had feared lest her effort at -fellowship should be unwelcome; now she dreaded going to the spot where -she foresaw that she must bind herself to a fellowship from which she -shrank. Neither law nor the worlds opinion compelled her to thisonly -her husbands nature and her own compassion, only the ideal and not the -real yoke of marriage. She saw clearly enough the whole situation, yet -she was fettered: she could not smite the stricken soul that entreated -hers. If that were weakness, Dorothea was weak. But the half-hour was -passing, and she must not delay longer. When she entered the Yew-tree -Walk she could not see her husband; but the walk had bends, and she -went, expecting to catch sight of his figure wrapped in a blue cloak, -which, with a warm velvet cap, was his outer garment on chill days for -the garden. It occurred to her that he might be resting in the -summer-house, towards which the path diverged a little. Turning the -angle, she could see him seated on the bench, close to a stone table. -His arms were resting on the table, and his brow was bowed down on -them, the blue cloak being dragged forward and screening his face on -each side. - -He exhausted himself last night, Dorothea said to herself, thinking -at first that he was asleep, and that the summer-house was too damp a -place to rest in. But then she remembered that of late she had seen him -take that attitude when she was reading to him, as if he found it -easier than any other; and that he would sometimes speak, as well as -listen, with his face down in that way. She went into the summerhouse -and said, I am come, Edward; I am ready. - -He took no notice, and she thought that he must be fast asleep. She -laid her hand on his shoulder, and repeated, I am ready! Still he was -motionless; and with a sudden confused fear, she leaned down to him, -took off his velvet cap, and leaned her cheek close to his head, crying -in a distressed tone - -Wake, dear, wake! Listen to me. I am come to answer. But Dorothea -never gave her answer. - -Later in the day, Lydgate was seated by her bedside, and she was -talking deliriously, thinking aloud, and recalling what had gone -through her mind the night before. She knew him, and called him by his -name, but appeared to think it right that she should explain everything -to him; and again, and again, begged him to explain everything to her -husband. - -Tell him I shall go to him soon: I am ready to promise. Only, thinking -about it was so dreadfulit has made me ill. Not very ill. I shall soon -be better. Go and tell him. - -But the silence in her husbands ear was never more to be broken. - - - - -CHAPTER XLIX. - -A task too strong for wizard spells -This squire had brought about; -T is easy dropping stones in wells, -But who shall get them out? - - -I wish to God we could hinder Dorothea from knowing this, said Sir -James Chettam, with a little frown on his brow, and an expression of -intense disgust about his mouth. - -He was standing on the hearth-rug in the library at Lowick Grange, and -speaking to Mr. Brooke. It was the day after Mr. Casaubon had been -buried, and Dorothea was not yet able to leave her room. - -That would be difficult, you know, Chettam, as she is an executrix, -and she likes to go into these thingsproperty, land, that kind of -thing. She has her notions, you know, said Mr. Brooke, sticking his -eye-glasses on nervously, and exploring the edges of a folded paper -which he held in his hand; and she would like to actdepend upon it, -as an executrix Dorothea would want to act. And she was twenty-one last -December, you know. I can hinder nothing. - -Sir James looked at the carpet for a minute in silence, and then -lifting his eyes suddenly fixed them on Mr. Brooke, saying, I will -tell you what we can do. Until Dorothea is well, all business must be -kept from her, and as soon as she is able to be moved she must come to -us. Being with Celia and the baby will be the best thing in the world -for her, and will pass away the time. And meanwhile you must get rid of -Ladislaw: you must send him out of the country. Here Sir Jamess look -of disgust returned in all its intensity. - -Mr. Brooke put his hands behind him, walked to the window and -straightened his back with a little shake before he replied. - -That is easily said, Chettam, easily said, you know. - -My dear sir, persisted Sir James, restraining his indignation within -respectful forms, it was you who brought him here, and you who keep -him hereI mean by the occupation you give him. - -Yes, but I cant dismiss him in an instant without assigning reasons, -my dear Chettam. Ladislaw has been invaluable, most satisfactory. I -consider that I have done this part of the country a service by -bringing himby bringing him, you know. Mr. Brooke ended with a nod, -turning round to give it. - -Its a pity this part of the country didnt do without him, thats all -I have to say about it. At any rate, as Dorotheas brother-in-law, I -feel warranted in objecting strongly to his being kept here by any -action on the part of her friends. You admit, I hope, that I have a -right to speak about what concerns the dignity of my wifes sister? - -Sir James was getting warm. - -Of course, my dear Chettam, of course. But you and I have different -ideasdifferent - -Not about this action of Casaubons, I should hope, interrupted Sir -James. I say that he has most unfairly compromised Dorothea. I say -that there never was a meaner, more ungentlemanly action than thisa -codicil of this sort to a will which he made at the time of his -marriage with the knowledge and reliance of her familya positive -insult to Dorothea! - -Well, you know, Casaubon was a little twisted about Ladislaw. Ladislaw -has told me the reasondislike of the bent he took, you knowLadislaw -didnt think much of Casaubons notions, Thoth and Dagonthat sort of -thing: and I fancy that Casaubon didnt like the independent position -Ladislaw had taken up. I saw the letters between them, you know. Poor -Casaubon was a little buried in bookshe didnt know the world. - -Its all very well for Ladislaw to put that color on it, said Sir -James. But I believe Casaubon was only jealous of him on Dorotheas -account, and the world will suppose that she gave him some reason; and -that is what makes it so abominablecoupling her name with this young -fellows. - -My dear Chettam, it wont lead to anything, you know, said Mr. -Brooke, seating himself and sticking on his eye-glass again. Its all -of a piece with Casaubons oddity. This paper, now, Synoptical -Tabulation and so on, for the use of Mrs. Casaubon, it was locked up -in the desk with the will. I suppose he meant Dorothea to publish his -researches, eh? and shell do it, you know; she has gone into his -studies uncommonly. - -My dear sir, said Sir James, impatiently, that is neither here nor -there. The question is, whether you dont see with me the propriety of -sending young Ladislaw away? - -Well, no, not the urgency of the thing. By-and-by, perhaps, it may -come round. As to gossip, you know, sending him away wont hinder -gossip. People say what they like to say, not what they have chapter -and verse for, said Mr Brooke, becoming acute about the truths that -lay on the side of his own wishes. I might get rid of Ladislaw up to a -certain pointtake away the Pioneer from him, and that sort of thing; -but I couldnt send him out of the country if he didnt choose to -godidnt choose, you know. - -Mr. Brooke, persisting as quietly as if he were only discussing the -nature of last years weather, and nodding at the end with his usual -amenity, was an exasperating form of obstinacy. - -Good God! said Sir James, with as much passion as he ever showed, -let us get him a post; let us spend money on him. If he could go in -the suite of some Colonial Governor! Grampus might take himand I could -write to Fulke about it. - -But Ladislaw wont be shipped off like a head of cattle, my dear -fellow; Ladislaw has his ideas. Its my opinion that if he were to part -from me to-morrow, youd only hear the more of him in the country. With -his talent for speaking and drawing up documents, there are few men who -could come up to him as an agitatoran agitator, you know. - -Agitator! said Sir James, with bitter emphasis, feeling that the -syllables of this word properly repeated were a sufficient exposure of -its hatefulness. - -But be reasonable, Chettam. Dorothea, now. As you say, she had better -go to Celia as soon as possible. She can stay under your roof, and in -the mean time things may come round quietly. Dont let us be firing off -our guns in a hurry, you know. Standish will keep our counsel, and the -news will be old before its known. Twenty things may happen to carry -off Ladislawwithout my doing anything, you know. - -Then I am to conclude that you decline to do anything? - -Decline, Chettam?noI didnt say decline. But I really dont see what -I could do. Ladislaw is a gentleman. - -I am glad to hear it! said Sir James, his irritation making him -forget himself a little. I am sure Casaubon was not. - -Well, it would have been worse if he had made the codicil to hinder -her from marrying again at all, you know. - -I dont know that, said Sir James. It would have been less -indelicate. - -One of poor Casaubons freaks! That attack upset his brain a little. -It all goes for nothing. She doesnt _want_ to marry Ladislaw. - -But this codicil is framed so as to make everybody believe that she -did. I dont believe anything of the sort about Dorothea, said Sir -Jamesthen frowningly, but I suspect Ladislaw. I tell you frankly, I -suspect Ladislaw. - -I couldnt take any immediate action on that ground, Chettam. In fact, -if it were possible to pack him offsend him to Norfolk Islandthat -sort of thingit would look all the worse for Dorothea to those who -knew about it. It would seem as if we distrusted herdistrusted her, -you know. - -That Mr. Brooke had hit on an undeniable argument, did not tend to -soothe Sir James. He put out his hand to reach his hat, implying that -he did not mean to contend further, and said, still with some heat - -Well, I can only say that I think Dorothea was sacrificed once, -because her friends were too careless. I shall do what I can, as her -brother, to protect her now. - -You cant do better than get her to Freshitt as soon as possible, -Chettam. I approve that plan altogether, said Mr. Brooke, well pleased -that he had won the argument. It would have been highly inconvenient to -him to part with Ladislaw at that time, when a dissolution might happen -any day, and electors were to be convinced of the course by which the -interests of the country would be best served. Mr. Brooke sincerely -believed that this end could be secured by his own return to -Parliament: he offered the forces of his mind honestly to the nation. - - - - -CHAPTER L. - -This Loller here wol precilen us somewhat. -Nay by my fathers soule! that schal he nat, -Sayde the Schipman, here schal he not preche, -We schal no gospel glosen here ne teche. -We leven all in the gret God, quod he. -He wolden sowen some diffcultee._Canterbury Tales_. - - -Dorothea had been safe at Freshitt Hall nearly a week before she had -asked any dangerous questions. Every morning now she sat with Celia in -the prettiest of up-stairs sitting-rooms, opening into a small -conservatoryCelia all in white and lavender like a bunch of mixed -violets, watching the remarkable acts of the baby, which were so -dubious to her inexperienced mind that all conversation was interrupted -by appeals for their interpretation made to the oracular nurse. -Dorothea sat by in her widows dress, with an expression which rather -provoked Celia, as being much too sad; for not only was baby quite -well, but really when a husband had been so dull and troublesome while -he lived, and besides that hadwell, well! Sir James, of course, had -told Celia everything, with a strong representation how important it -was that Dorothea should not know it sooner than was inevitable. - -But Mr. Brooke had been right in predicting that Dorothea would not -long remain passive where action had been assigned to her; she knew the -purport of her husbands will made at the time of their marriage, and -her mind, as soon as she was clearly conscious of her position, was -silently occupied with what she ought to do as the owner of Lowick -Manor with the patronage of the living attached to it. - -One morning when her uncle paid his usual visit, though with an unusual -alacrity in his manner which he accounted for by saying that it was now -pretty certain Parliament would be dissolved forthwith, Dorothea said - -Uncle, it is right now that I should consider who is to have the -living at Lowick. After Mr. Tucker had been provided for, I never heard -my husband say that he had any clergyman in his mind as a successor to -himself. I think I ought to have the keys now and go to Lowick to -examine all my husbands papers. There may be something that would -throw light on his wishes. - -No hurry, my dear, said Mr. Brooke, quietly. By-and-by, you know, -you can go, if you like. But I cast my eyes over things in the desks -and drawersthere was nothingnothing but deep subjects, you -knowbesides the will. Everything can be done by-and-by. As to the -living, I have had an application for interest alreadyI should say -rather good. Mr. Tyke has been strongly recommended to meI had -something to do with getting him an appointment before. An apostolic -man, I believethe sort of thing that would suit you, my dear. - -I should like to have fuller knowledge about him, uncle, and judge for -myself, if Mr. Casaubon has not left any expression of his wishes. He -has perhaps made some addition to his willthere may be some -instructions for me, said Dorothea, who had all the while had this -conjecture in her mind with relation to her husbands work. - -Nothing about the rectory, my dearnothing, said Mr. Brooke, rising -to go away, and putting out his hand to his nieces: nor about his -researches, you know. Nothing in the will. - -Dorotheas lip quivered. - -Come, you must not think of these things yet, my dear. By-and-by, you -know. - -I am quite well now, uncle; I wish to exert myself. - -Well, well, we shall see. But I must run away nowI have no end of -work nowits a crisisa political crisis, you know. And here is Celia -and her little manyou are an aunt, you know, now, and I am a sort of -grandfather, said Mr. Brooke, with placid hurry, anxious to get away -and tell Chettam that it would not be his (Mr. Brookes) fault if -Dorothea insisted on looking into everything. - -Dorothea sank back in her chair when her uncle had left the room, and -cast her eyes down meditatively on her crossed hands. - -Look, Dodo! look at him! Did you ever see anything like that? said -Celia, in her comfortable staccato. - -What, Kitty? said Dorothea, lifting her eyes rather absently. - -What? why, his upper lip; see how he is drawing it down, as if he -meant to make a face. Isnt it wonderful! He may have his little -thoughts. I wish nurse were here. Do look at him. - -A large tear which had been for some time gathering, rolled down -Dorotheas cheek as she looked up and tried to smile. - -Dont be sad, Dodo; kiss baby. What are you brooding over so? I am -sure you did everything, and a great deal too much. You should be happy -now. - -I wonder if Sir James would drive me to Lowick. I want to look over -everythingto see if there were any words written for me. - -You are not to go till Mr. Lydgate says you may go. And he has not -said so yet (here you are, nurse; take baby and walk up and down the -gallery). Besides, you have got a wrong notion in your head as usual, -DodoI can see that: it vexes me. - -Where am I wrong, Kitty? said Dorothea, quite meekly. She was almost -ready now to think Celia wiser than herself, and was really wondering -with some fear what her wrong notion was. Celia felt her advantage, and -was determined to use it. None of them knew Dodo as well as she did, or -knew how to manage her. Since Celias baby was born, she had had a new -sense of her mental solidity and calm wisdom. It seemed clear that -where there was a baby, things were right enough, and that error, in -general, was a mere lack of that central poising force. - -I can see what you are thinking of as well as can be, Dodo, said -Celia. You are wanting to find out if there is anything uncomfortable -for you to do now, only because Mr. Casaubon wished it. As if you had -not been uncomfortable enough before. And he doesnt deserve it, and -you will find that out. He has behaved very badly. James is as angry -with him as can be. And I had better tell you, to prepare you. - -Celia, said Dorothea, entreatingly, you distress me. Tell me at once -what you mean. It glanced through her mind that Mr. Casaubon had left -the property away from herwhich would not be so very distressing. - -Why, he has made a codicil to his will, to say the property was all to -go away from you if you marriedI mean - -That is of no consequence, said Dorothea, breaking in impetuously. - -But if you married Mr. Ladislaw, not anybody else, Celia went on with -persevering quietude. Of course that is of no consequence in one -wayyou never _would_ marry Mr. Ladislaw; but that only makes it worse -of Mr. Casaubon. - -The blood rushed to Dorotheas face and neck painfully. But Celia was -administering what she thought a sobering dose of fact. It was taking -up notions that had done Dodos health so much harm. So she went on in -her neutral tone, as if she had been remarking on babys robes. - -James says so. He says it is abominable, and not like a gentleman. And -there never was a better judge than James. It is as if Mr. Casaubon -wanted to make people believe that you would wish to marry Mr. -Ladislawwhich is ridiculous. Only James says it was to hinder Mr. -Ladislaw from wanting to marry you for your moneyjust as if he ever -would think of making you an offer. Mrs. Cadwallader said you might as -well marry an Italian with white mice! But I must just go and look at -baby, Celia added, without the least change of tone, throwing a light -shawl over her, and tripping away. - -Dorothea by this time had turned cold again, and now threw herself back -helplessly in her chair. She might have compared her experience at that -moment to the vague, alarmed consciousness that her life was taking on -a new form, that she was undergoing a metamorphosis in which memory -would not adjust itself to the stirring of new organs. Everything was -changing its aspect: her husbands conduct, her own duteous feeling -towards him, every struggle between themand yet more, her whole -relation to Will Ladislaw. Her world was in a state of convulsive -change; the only thing she could say distinctly to herself was, that -she must wait and think anew. One change terrified her as if it had -been a sin; it was a violent shock of repulsion from her departed -husband, who had had hidden thoughts, perhaps perverting everything she -said and did. Then again she was conscious of another change which also -made her tremulous; it was a sudden strange yearning of heart towards -Will Ladislaw. It had never before entered her mind that he could, -under any circumstances, be her lover: conceive the effect of the -sudden revelation that another had thought of him in that lightthat -perhaps he himself had been conscious of such a possibility,and this -with the hurrying, crowding vision of unfitting conditions, and -questions not soon to be solved. - -It seemed a long whileshe did not know how longbefore she heard Celia -saying, That will do, nurse; he will be quiet on my lap now. You can -go to lunch, and let Garratt stay in the next room. What I think, -Dodo, Celia went on, observing nothing more than that Dorothea was -leaning back in her chair, and likely to be passive, is that Mr. -Casaubon was spiteful. I never did like him, and James never did. I -think the corners of his mouth were dreadfully spiteful. And now he has -behaved in this way, I am sure religion does not require you to make -yourself uncomfortable about him. If he has been taken away, that is a -mercy, and you ought to be grateful. We should not grieve, should we, -baby? said Celia confidentially to that unconscious centre and poise -of the world, who had the most remarkable fists all complete even to -the nails, and hair enough, really, when you took his cap off, to -makeyou didnt know what:in short, he was Bouddha in a Western form. - -At this crisis Lydgate was announced, and one of the first things he -said was, I fear you are not so well as you were, Mrs. Casaubon; have -you been agitated? allow me to feel your pulse. Dorotheas hand was of -a marble coldness. - -She wants to go to Lowick, to look over papers, said Celia. She -ought not, ought she? - -Lydgate did not speak for a few moments. Then he said, looking at -Dorothea. I hardly know. In my opinion Mrs. Casaubon should do what -would give her the most repose of mind. That repose will not always -come from being forbidden to act. - -Thank you, said Dorothea, exerting herself, I am sure that is wise. -There are so many things which I ought to attend to. Why should I sit -here idle? Then, with an effort to recall subjects not connected with -her agitation, she added, abruptly, You know every one in Middlemarch, -I think, Mr. Lydgate. I shall ask you to tell me a great deal. I have -serious things to do now. I have a living to give away. You know Mr. -Tyke and all the But Dorotheas effort was too much for her; she -broke off and burst into sobs. - -Lydgate made her drink a dose of sal volatile. - -Let Mrs. Casaubon do as she likes, he said to Sir James, whom he -asked to see before quitting the house. She wants perfect freedom, I -think, more than any other prescription. - -His attendance on Dorothea while her brain was excited, had enabled him -to form some true conclusions concerning the trials of her life. He -felt sure that she had been suffering from the strain and conflict of -self-repression; and that she was likely now to feel herself only in -another sort of pinfold than that from which she had been released. - -Lydgates advice was all the easier for Sir James to follow when he -found that Celia had already told Dorothea the unpleasant fact about -the will. There was no help for it nowno reason for any further delay -in the execution of necessary business. And the next day Sir James -complied at once with her request that he would drive her to Lowick. - -I have no wish to stay there at present, said Dorothea; I could -hardly bear it. I am much happier at Freshitt with Celia. I shall be -able to think better about what should be done at Lowick by looking at -it from a distance. And I should like to be at the Grange a little -while with my uncle, and go about in all the old walks and among the -people in the village. - -Not yet, I think. Your uncle is having political company, and you are -better out of the way of such doings, said Sir James, who at that -moment thought of the Grange chiefly as a haunt of young Ladislaws. -But no word passed between him and Dorothea about the objectionable -part of the will; indeed, both of them felt that the mention of it -between them would be impossible. Sir James was shy, even with men, -about disagreeable subjects; and the one thing that Dorothea would have -chosen to say, if she had spoken on the matter at all, was forbidden to -her at present because it seemed to be a further exposure of her -husbands injustice. Yet she did wish that Sir James could know what -had passed between her and her husband about Will Ladislaws moral -claim on the property: it would then, she thought, be apparent to him -as it was to her, that her husbands strange indelicate proviso had -been chiefly urged by his bitter resistance to that idea of claim, and -not merely by personal feelings more difficult to talk about. Also, it -must be admitted, Dorothea wished that this could be known for Wills -sake, since her friends seemed to think of him as simply an object of -Mr. Casaubons charity. Why should he be compared with an Italian -carrying white mice? That word quoted from Mrs. Cadwallader seemed like -a mocking travesty wrought in the dark by an impish finger. - -At Lowick Dorothea searched desk and drawersearched all her husbands -places of deposit for private writing, but found no paper addressed -especially to her, except that Synoptical Tabulation, which was -probably only the beginning of many intended directions for her -guidance. In carrying out this bequest of labor to Dorothea, as in all -else, Mr. Casaubon had been slow and hesitating, oppressed in the plan -of transmitting his work, as he had been in executing it, by the sense -of moving heavily in a dim and clogging medium: distrust of Dorotheas -competence to arrange what he had prepared was subdued only by distrust -of any other redactor. But he had come at last to create a trust for -himself out of Dorotheas nature: she could do what she resolved to do: -and he willingly imagined her toiling under the fetters of a promise to -erect a tomb with his name upon it. (Not that Mr. Casaubon called the -future volumes a tomb; he called them the Key to all Mythologies.) But -the months gained on him and left his plans belated: he had only had -time to ask for that promise by which he sought to keep his cold grasp -on Dorotheas life. - -The grasp had slipped away. Bound by a pledge given from the depths of -her pity, she would have been capable of undertaking a toil which her -judgment whispered was vain for all uses except that consecration of -faithfulness which is a supreme use. But now her judgment, instead of -being controlled by duteous devotion, was made active by the -imbittering discovery that in her past union there had lurked the -hidden alienation of secrecy and suspicion. The living, suffering man -was no longer before her to awaken her pity: there remained only the -retrospect of painful subjection to a husband whose thoughts had been -lower than she had believed, whose exorbitant claims for himself had -even blinded his scrupulous care for his own character, and made him -defeat his own pride by shocking men of ordinary honor. As for the -property which was the sign of that broken tie, she would have been -glad to be free from it and have nothing more than her original fortune -which had been settled on her, if there had not been duties attached to -ownership, which she ought not to flinch from. About this property many -troublous questions insisted on rising: had she not been right in -thinking that the half of it ought to go to Will Ladislaw?but was it -not impossible now for her to do that act of justice? Mr. Casaubon had -taken a cruelly effective means of hindering her: even with indignation -against him in her heart, any act that seemed a triumphant eluding of -his purpose revolted her. - -After collecting papers of business which she wished to examine, she -locked up again the desks and drawersall empty of personal words for -herempty of any sign that in her husbands lonely brooding his heart -had gone out to her in excuse or explanation; and she went back to -Freshitt with the sense that around his last hard demand and his last -injurious assertion of his power, the silence was unbroken. - -Dorothea tried now to turn her thoughts towards immediate duties, and -one of these was of a kind which others were determined to remind her -of. Lydgates ear had caught eagerly her mention of the living, and as -soon as he could, he reopened the subject, seeing here a possibility of -making amends for the casting-vote he had once given with an -ill-satisfied conscience. Instead of telling you anything about Mr. -Tyke, he said, I should like to speak of another manMr. Farebrother, -the Vicar of St. Botolphs. His living is a poor one, and gives him a -stinted provision for himself and his family. His mother, aunt, and -sister all live with him, and depend upon him. I believe he has never -married because of them. I never heard such good preaching as hissuch -plain, easy eloquence. He would have done to preach at St. Pauls Cross -after old Latimer. His talk is just as good about all subjects: -original, simple, clear. I think him a remarkable fellow: he ought to -have done more than he has done. - -Why has he not done more? said Dorothea, interested now in all who -had slipped below their own intention. - -Thats a hard question, said Lydgate. I find myself that its -uncommonly difficult to make the right thing work: there are so many -strings pulling at once. Farebrother often hints that he has got into -the wrong profession; he wants a wider range than that of a poor -clergyman, and I suppose he has no interest to help him on. He is very -fond of Natural History and various scientific matters, and he is -hampered in reconciling these tastes with his position. He has no money -to sparehardly enough to use; and that has led him into -card-playingMiddlemarch is a great place for whist. He does play for -money, and he wins a good deal. Of course that takes him into company a -little beneath him, and makes him slack about some things; and yet, -with all that, looking at him as a whole, I think he is one of the most -blameless men I ever knew. He has neither venom nor doubleness in him, -and those often go with a more correct outside. - -I wonder whether he suffers in his conscience because of that habit, -said Dorothea; I wonder whether he wishes he could leave it off. - -I have no doubt he would leave it off, if he were transplanted into -plenty: he would be glad of the time for other things. - -My uncle says that Mr. Tyke is spoken of as an apostolic man, said -Dorothea, meditatively. She was wishing it were possible to restore the -times of primitive zeal, and yet thinking of Mr. Farebrother with a -strong desire to rescue him from his chance-gotten money. - -I dont pretend to say that Farebrother is apostolic, said Lydgate. -His position is not quite like that of the Apostles: he is only a -parson among parishioners whose lives he has to try and make better. -Practically I find that what is called being apostolic now, is an -impatience of everything in which the parson doesnt cut the principal -figure. I see something of that in Mr. Tyke at the Hospital: a good -deal of his doctrine is a sort of pinching hard to make people -uncomfortably aware of him. Besides, an apostolic man at Lowick!he -ought to think, as St. Francis did, that it is needful to preach to the -birds. - -True, said Dorothea. It is hard to imagine what sort of notions our -farmers and laborers get from their teaching. I have been looking into -a volume of sermons by Mr. Tyke: such sermons would be of no use at -LowickI mean, about imputed righteousness and the prophecies in the -Apocalypse. I have always been thinking of the different ways in which -Christianity is taught, and whenever I find one way that makes it a -wider blessing than any other, I cling to that as the truestI mean -that which takes in the most good of all kinds, and brings in the most -people as sharers in it. It is surely better to pardon too much, than -to condemn too much. But I should like to see Mr. Farebrother and hear -him preach. - -Do, said Lydgate; I trust to the effect of that. He is very much -beloved, but he has his enemies too: there are always people who cant -forgive an able man for differing from them. And that money-winning -business is really a blot. You dont, of course, see many Middlemarch -people: but Mr. Ladislaw, who is constantly seeing Mr. Brooke, is a -great friend of Mr. Farebrothers old ladies, and would be glad to sing -the Vicars praises. One of the old ladiesMiss Noble, the auntis a -wonderfully quaint picture of self-forgetful goodness, and Ladislaw -gallants her about sometimes. I met them one day in a back street: you -know Ladislaws looka sort of Daphnis in coat and waistcoat; and this -little old maid reaching up to his armthey looked like a couple -dropped out of a romantic comedy. But the best evidence about -Farebrother is to see him and hear him. - -Happily Dorothea was in her private sitting-room when this conversation -occurred, and there was no one present to make Lydgates innocent -introduction of Ladislaw painful to her. As was usual with him in -matters of personal gossip, Lydgate had quite forgotten Rosamonds -remark that she thought Will adored Mrs. Casaubon. At that moment he -was only caring for what would recommend the Farebrother family; and he -had purposely given emphasis to the worst that could be said about the -Vicar, in order to forestall objections. In the weeks since Mr. -Casaubons death he had hardly seen Ladislaw, and he had heard no rumor -to warn him that Mr. Brookes confidential secretary was a dangerous -subject with Mrs. Casaubon. When he was gone, his picture of Ladislaw -lingered in her mind and disputed the ground with that question of the -Lowick living. What was Will Ladislaw thinking about her? Would he hear -of that fact which made her cheeks burn as they never used to do? And -how would he feel when he heard it?But she could see as well as -possible how he smiled down at the little old maid. An Italian with -white mice!on the contrary, he was a creature who entered into every -ones feelings, and could take the pressure of their thought instead of -urging his own with iron resistance. - - - - -CHAPTER LI. - -Party is Nature too, and you shall see -By force of Logic how they both agree: -The Many in the One, the One in Many; -All is not Some, nor Some the same as Any: -Genus holds species, both are great or small; -One genus highest, one not high at all; -Each species has its differentia too, -This is not That, and He was never You, -Though this and that are AYES, and you and he -Are like as one to one, or three to three. - - -No gossip about Mr. Casaubons will had yet reached Ladislaw: the air -seemed to be filled with the dissolution of Parliament and the coming -election, as the old wakes and fairs were filled with the rival clatter -of itinerant shows; and more private noises were taken little notice -of. The famous dry election was at hand, in which the depths of -public feeling might be measured by the low flood-mark of drink. Will -Ladislaw was one of the busiest at this time; and though Dorotheas -widowhood was continually in his thought, he was so far from wishing to -be spoken to on the subject, that when Lydgate sought him out to tell -him what had passed about the Lowick living, he answered rather -waspishly - -Why should you bring me into the matter? I never see Mrs. Casaubon, -and am not likely to see her, since she is at Freshitt. I never go -there. It is Tory ground, where I and the Pioneer are no more welcome -than a poacher and his gun. - -The fact was that Will had been made the more susceptible by observing -that Mr. Brooke, instead of wishing him, as before, to come to the -Grange oftener than was quite agreeable to himself, seemed now to -contrive that he should go there as little as possible. This was a -shuffling concession of Mr. Brookes to Sir James Chettams indignant -remonstrance; and Will, awake to the slightest hint in this direction, -concluded that he was to be kept away from the Grange on Dorotheas -account. Her friends, then, regarded him with some suspicion? Their -fears were quite superfluous: they were very much mistaken if they -imagined that he would put himself forward as a needy adventurer trying -to win the favor of a rich woman. - -Until now Will had never fully seen the chasm between himself and -Dorotheauntil now that he was come to the brink of it, and saw her on -the other side. He began, not without some inward rage, to think of -going away from the neighborhood: it would be impossible for him to -show any further interest in Dorothea without subjecting himself to -disagreeable imputationsperhaps even in her mind, which others might -try to poison. - -We are forever divided, said Will. I might as well be at Rome; she -would be no farther from me. But what we call our despair is often -only the painful eagerness of unfed hope. There were plenty of reasons -why he should not gopublic reasons why he should not quit his post at -this crisis, leaving Mr. Brooke in the lurch when he needed coaching -for the election, and when there was so much canvassing, direct and -indirect, to be carried on. Will could not like to leave his own -chessmen in the heat of a game; and any candidate on the right side, -even if his brain and marrow had been as soft as was consistent with a -gentlemanly bearing, might help to turn a majority. To coach Mr. Brooke -and keep him steadily to the idea that he must pledge himself to vote -for the actual Reform Bill, instead of insisting on his independence -and power of pulling up in time, was not an easy task. Mr. -Farebrothers prophecy of a fourth candidate in the bag had not yet -been fulfilled, neither the Parliamentary Candidate Society nor any -other power on the watch to secure a reforming majority seeing a worthy -nodus for interference while there was a second reforming candidate -like Mr. Brooke, who might be returned at his own expense; and the -fight lay entirely between Pinkerton the old Tory member, Bagster the -new Whig member returned at the last election, and Brooke the future -independent member, who was to fetter himself for this occasion only. -Mr. Hawley and his party would bend all their forces to the return of -Pinkerton, and Mr. Brookes success must depend either on plumpers -which would leave Bagster in the rear, or on the new minting of Tory -votes into reforming votes. The latter means, of course, would be -preferable. - -This prospect of converting votes was a dangerous distraction to Mr. -Brooke: his impression that waverers were likely to be allured by -wavering statements, and also the liability of his mind to stick afresh -at opposing arguments as they turned up in his memory, gave Will -Ladislaw much trouble. - -You know there are tactics in these things, said Mr. Brooke; meeting -people half-waytempering your ideassaying, Well now, theres -something in that, and so on. I agree with you that this is a peculiar -occasionthe country with a will of its ownpolitical unionsthat sort -of thingbut we sometimes cut with rather too sharp a knife, Ladislaw. -These ten-pound householders, now: why ten? Draw the line -somewhereyes: but why just at ten? Thats a difficult question, now, -if you go into it. - -Of course it is, said Will, impatiently. But if you are to wait till -we get a logical Bill, you must put yourself forward as a -revolutionist, and then Middlemarch would not elect you, I fancy. As -for trimming, this is not a time for trimming. - -Mr. Brooke always ended by agreeing with Ladislaw, who still appeared -to him a sort of Burke with a leaven of Shelley; but after an interval -the wisdom of his own methods reasserted itself, and he was again drawn -into using them with much hopefulness. At this stage of affairs he was -in excellent spirits, which even supported him under large advances of -money; for his powers of convincing and persuading had not yet been -tested by anything more difficult than a chairmans speech introducing -other orators, or a dialogue with a Middlemarch voter, from which he -came away with a sense that he was a tactician by nature, and that it -was a pity he had not gone earlier into this kind of thing. He was a -little conscious of defeat, however, with Mr. Mawmsey, a chief -representative in Middlemarch of that great social power, the retail -trader, and naturally one of the most doubtful voters in the -boroughwilling for his own part to supply an equal quality of teas and -sugars to reformer and anti-reformer, as well as to agree impartially -with both, and feeling like the burgesses of old that this necessity of -electing members was a great burthen to a town; for even if there were -no danger in holding out hopes to all parties beforehand, there would -be the painful necessity at last of disappointing respectable people -whose names were on his books. He was accustomed to receive large -orders from Mr. Brooke of Tipton; but then, there were many of -Pinkertons committee whose opinions had a great weight of grocery on -their side. Mr. Mawmsey thinking that Mr. Brooke, as not too clever in -his intellects, was the more likely to forgive a grocer who gave a -hostile vote under pressure, had become confidential in his back -parlor. - -As to Reform, sir, put it in a family light, he said, rattling the -small silver in his pocket, and smiling affably. Will it support Mrs. -Mawmsey, and enable her to bring up six children when I am no more? I -put the question _fictiously_, knowing what must be the answer. Very -well, sir. I ask you what, as a husband and a father, I am to do when -gentlemen come to me and say, Do as you like, Mawmsey; but if you vote -against us, I shall get my groceries elsewhere: when I sugar my liquor -I like to feel that I am benefiting the country by maintaining -tradesmen of the right color. Those very words have been spoken to me, -sir, in the very chair where you are now sitting. I dont mean by your -honorable self, Mr. Brooke. - -No, no, nothats narrow, you know. Until my butler complains to me of -your goods, Mr. Mawmsey, said Mr. Brooke, soothingly, until I hear -that you send bad sugars, spicesthat sort of thingI shall never order -him to go elsewhere. - -Sir, I am your humble servant, and greatly obliged, said Mr. Mawmsey, -feeling that politics were clearing up a little.

Loomings. + +Call me Ishmael. Some years agonever mind how long preciselyhaving +little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me +on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part +of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and +regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about +the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever +I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and +bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever +my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral +principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and +methodically knocking peoples hats offthen, I account it high time to +get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. +With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I +quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they +but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, +cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me. + +There now is your insular city of the Manhattoes, belted round by +wharves as Indian isles by coral reefscommerce surrounds it with her +surf. Right and left, the streets take you waterward. Its extreme +downtown is the battery, where that noble mole is washed by waves, and +cooled by breezes, which a few hours previous were out of sight of +land. Look at the crowds of water-gazers there. + +Circumambulate the city of a dreamy Sabbath afternoon. Go from Corlears +Hook to Coenties Slip, and from thence, by Whitehall, northward. What +do you see?Posted like silent sentinels all around the town, stand +thousands upon thousands of mortal men fixed in ocean reveries. Some +leaning against the spiles; some seated upon the pier-heads; some +looking over the bulwarks of ships from China; some high aloft in the +rigging, as if striving to get a still better seaward peep. But these +are all landsmen; of week days pent up in lath and plastertied to +counters, nailed to benches, clinched to desks. How then is this? Are +the green fields gone? What do they here? + +But look! here come more crowds, pacing straight for the water, and +seemingly bound for a dive. Strange! Nothing will content them but the +extremest limit of the land; loitering under the shady lee of yonder +warehouses will not suffice. No. They must get just as nigh the water +as they possibly can without falling in. And there they standmiles of +themleagues. Inlanders all, they come from lanes and alleys, streets +and avenuesnorth, east, south, and west. Yet here they all unite. Tell +me, does the magnetic virtue of the needles of the compasses of all +those ships attract them thither? + +Once more. Say you are in the country; in some high land of lakes. Take +almost any path you please, and ten to one it carries you down in a +dale, and leaves you there by a pool in the stream. There is magic in +it. Let the most absent-minded of men be plunged in his deepest +reveriesstand that man on his legs, set his feet a-going, and he will +infallibly lead you to water, if water there be in all that region. +Should you ever be athirst in the great American desert, try this +experiment, if your caravan happen to be supplied with a metaphysical +professor. Yes, as every one knows, meditation and water are wedded for +ever. + +But here is an artist. He desires to paint you the dreamiest, shadiest, +quietest, most enchanting bit of romantic landscape in all the valley +of the Saco. What is the chief element he employs? There stand his +trees, each with a hollow trunk, as if a hermit and a crucifix were +within; and here sleeps his meadow, and there sleep his cattle; and up +from yonder cottage goes a sleepy smoke. Deep into distant woodlands +winds a mazy way, reaching to overlapping spurs of mountains bathed in +their hill-side blue. But though the picture lies thus tranced, and +though this pine-tree shakes down its sighs like leaves upon this +shepherds head, yet all were vain, unless the shepherds eye were +fixed upon the magic stream before him. Go visit the Prairies in June, +when for scores on scores of miles you wade knee-deep among +Tiger-lilieswhat is the one charm wanting?Waterthere is not a drop +of water there! Were Niagara but a cataract of sand, would you travel +your thousand miles to see it? Why did the poor poet of Tennessee, upon +suddenly receiving two handfuls of silver, deliberate whether to buy +him a coat, which he sadly needed, or invest his money in a pedestrian +trip to Rockaway Beach? Why is almost every robust healthy boy with a +robust healthy soul in him, at some time or other crazy to go to sea? +Why upon your first voyage as a passenger, did you yourself feel such a +mystical vibration, when first told that you and your ship were now out +of sight of land? Why did the old Persians hold the sea holy? Why did +the Greeks give it a separate deity, and own brother of Jove? Surely +all this is not without meaning. And still deeper the meaning of that +story of Narcissus, who because he could not grasp the tormenting, mild +image he saw in the fountain, plunged into it and was drowned. But that +same image, we ourselves see in all rivers and oceans. It is the image +of the ungraspable phantom of life; and this is the key to it all. + +Now, when I say that I am in the habit of going to sea whenever I begin +to grow hazy about the eyes, and begin to be over conscious of my +lungs, I do not mean to have it inferred that I ever go to sea as a +passenger. For to go as a passenger you must needs have a purse, and a +purse is but a rag unless you have something in it. Besides, passengers +get sea-sickgrow quarrelsomedont sleep of nightsdo not enjoy +themselves much, as a general thing;no, I never go as a passenger; +nor, though I am something of a salt, do I ever go to sea as a +Commodore, or a Captain, or a Cook. I abandon the glory and distinction +of such offices to those who like them. For my part, I abominate all +honorable respectable toils, trials, and tribulations of every kind +whatsoever. It is quite as much as I can do to take care of myself, +without taking care of ships, barques, brigs, schooners, and what not. +And as for going as cook,though I confess there is considerable glory +in that, a cook being a sort of officer on ship-boardyet, somehow, I +never fancied broiling fowls;though once broiled, judiciously +buttered, and judgmatically salted and peppered, there is no one who +will speak more respectfully, not to say reverentially, of a broiled +fowl than I will. It is out of the idolatrous dotings of the old +Egyptians upon broiled ibis and roasted river horse, that you see the +mummies of those creatures in their huge bake-houses the pyramids. + +No, when I go to sea, I go as a simple sailor, right before the mast, +plumb down into the forecastle, aloft there to the royal mast-head. +True, they rather order me about some, and make me jump from spar to +spar, like a grasshopper in a May meadow. And at first, this sort of +thing is unpleasant enough. It touches ones sense of honor, +particularly if you come of an old established family in the land, the +Van Rensselaers, or Randolphs, or Hardicanutes. And more than all, if +just previous to putting your hand into the tar-pot, you have been +lording it as a country schoolmaster, making the tallest boys stand in +awe of you. The transition is a keen one, I assure you, from a +schoolmaster to a sailor, and requires a strong decoction of Seneca and +the Stoics to enable you to grin and bear it. But even this wears off +in time. + +What of it, if some old hunks of a sea-captain orders me to get a broom +and sweep down the decks? What does that indignity amount to, weighed, +I mean, in the scales of the New Testament? Do you think the archangel +Gabriel thinks anything the less of me, because I promptly and +respectfully obey that old hunks in that particular instance? Who aint +a slave? Tell me that. Well, then, however the old sea-captains may +order me abouthowever they may thump and punch me about, I have the +satisfaction of knowing that it is all right; that everybody else is +one way or other served in much the same wayeither in a physical or +metaphysical point of view, that is; and so the universal thump is +passed round, and all hands should rub each others shoulder-blades, +and be content. + +Again, I always go to sea as a sailor, because they make a point of +paying me for my trouble, whereas they never pay passengers a single +penny that I ever heard of. On the contrary, passengers themselves must +pay. And there is all the difference in the world between paying and +being paid. The act of paying is perhaps the most uncomfortable +infliction that the two orchard thieves entailed upon us. But _being +paid_,what will compare with it? The urbane activity with which a man +receives money is really marvellous, considering that we so earnestly +believe money to be the root of all earthly ills, and that on no +account can a monied man enter heaven. Ah! how cheerfully we consign +ourselves to perdition! + +Finally, I always go to sea as a sailor, because of the wholesome +exercise and pure air of the fore-castle deck. For as in this world, +head winds are far more prevalent than winds from astern (that is, if +you never violate the Pythagorean maxim), so for the most part the +Commodore on the quarter-deck gets his atmosphere at second hand from +the sailors on the forecastle. He thinks he breathes it first; but not +so. In much the same way do the commonalty lead their leaders in many +other things, at the same time that the leaders little suspect it. But +wherefore it was that after having repeatedly smelt the sea as a +merchant sailor, I should now take it into my head to go on a whaling +voyage; this the invisible police officer of the Fates, who has the +constant surveillance of me, and secretly dogs me, and influences me in +some unaccountable wayhe can better answer than any one else. And, +doubtless, my going on this whaling voyage, formed part of the grand +programme of Providence that was drawn up a long time ago. It came in +as a sort of brief interlude and solo between more extensive +performances. I take it that this part of the bill must have run +something like this: + +_Grand Contested Election for the Presidency of the United States._ +WHALING VOYAGE BY ONE ISHMAEL. BLOODY BATTLE IN AFFGHANISTAN. + +Though I cannot tell why it was exactly that those stage managers, the +Fates, put me down for this shabby part of a whaling voyage, when +others were set down for magnificent parts in high tragedies, and short +and easy parts in genteel comedies, and jolly parts in farcesthough I +cannot tell why this was exactly; yet, now that I recall all the +circumstances, I think I can see a little into the springs and motives +which being cunningly presented to me under various disguises, induced +me to set about performing the part I did, besides cajoling me into the +delusion that it was a choice resulting from my own unbiased freewill +and discriminating judgment. + +Chief among these motives was the overwhelming idea of the great whale +himself. Such a portentous and mysterious monster roused all my +curiosity. Then the wild and distant seas where he rolled his island +bulk; the undeliverable, nameless perils of the whale; these, with all +the attending marvels of a thousand Patagonian sights and sounds, +helped to sway me to my wish. With other men, perhaps, such things +would not have been inducements; but as for me, I am tormented with an +everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and +land on barbarous coasts. Not ignoring what is good, I am quick to +perceive a horror, and could still be social with itwould they let +mesince it is but well to be on friendly terms with all the inmates of +the place one lodges in. + +By reason of these things, then, the whaling voyage was welcome; the +great flood-gates of the wonder-world swung open, and in the wild +conceits that swayed me to my purpose, two and two there floated into +my inmost soul, endless processions of the whale, and, mid most of them +all, one grand hooded phantom, like a snow hill in the air. + + +CHAPTER 2. The Carpet-Bag. + +I stuffed a shirt or two into my old carpet-bag, tucked it under my +arm, and started for Cape Horn and the Pacific. Quitting the good city +of old Manhatto, I duly arrived in New Bedford. It was a Saturday night +in December. Much was I disappointed upon learning that the little +packet for Nantucket had already sailed, and that no way of reaching +that place would offer, till the following Monday. + +As most young candidates for the pains and penalties of whaling stop at +this same New Bedford, thence to embark on their voyage, it may as well +be related that I, for one, had no idea of so doing. For my mind was +made up to sail in no other than a Nantucket craft, because there was a +fine, boisterous something about everything connected with that famous +old island, which amazingly pleased me. Besides though New Bedford has +of late been gradually monopolising the business of whaling, and though +in this matter poor old Nantucket is now much behind her, yet Nantucket +was her great originalthe Tyre of this Carthage;the place where the +first dead American whale was stranded. Where else but from Nantucket +did those aboriginal whalemen, the Red-Men, first sally out in canoes +to give chase to the Leviathan? And where but from Nantucket, too, did +that first adventurous little sloop put forth, partly laden with +imported cobblestonesso goes the storyto throw at the whales, in +order to discover when they were nigh enough to risk a harpoon from the +bowsprit? + +Now having a night, a day, and still another night following before me +in New Bedford, ere I could embark for my destined port, it became a +matter of concernment where I was to eat and sleep meanwhile. It was a +very dubious-looking, nay, a very dark and dismal night, bitingly cold +and cheerless. I knew no one in the place. With anxious grapnels I had +sounded my pocket, and only brought up a few pieces of silver,So, +wherever you go, Ishmael, said I to myself, as I stood in the middle of +a dreary street shouldering my bag, and comparing the gloom towards the +north with the darkness towards the southwherever in your wisdom you +may conclude to lodge for the night, my dear Ishmael, be sure to +inquire the price, and dont be too particular. + +With halting steps I paced the streets, and passed the sign of The +Crossed Harpoonsbut it looked too expensive and jolly there. Further +on, from the bright red windows of the Sword-Fish Inn, there came +such fervent rays, that it seemed to have melted the packed snow and +ice from before the house, for everywhere else the congealed frost lay +ten inches thick in a hard, asphaltic pavement,rather weary for me, +when I struck my foot against the flinty projections, because from +hard, remorseless service the soles of my boots were in a most +miserable plight. Too expensive and jolly, again thought I, pausing one +moment to watch the broad glare in the street, and hear the sounds of +the tinkling glasses within. But go on, Ishmael, said I at last; dont +you hear? get away from before the door; your patched boots are +stopping the way. So on I went. I now by instinct followed the streets +that took me waterward, for there, doubtless, were the cheapest, if not +the cheeriest inns. + +Such dreary streets! blocks of blackness, not houses, on either hand, +and here and there a candle, like a candle moving about in a tomb. At +this hour of the night, of the last day of the week, that quarter of +the town proved all but deserted. But presently I came to a smoky light +proceeding from a low, wide building, the door of which stood +invitingly open. It had a careless look, as if it were meant for the +uses of the public; so, entering, the first thing I did was to stumble +over an ash-box in the porch. Ha! thought I, ha, as the flying +particles almost choked me, are these ashes from that destroyed city, +Gomorrah? But The Crossed Harpoons, and The Sword-Fish?this, then +must needs be the sign of The Trap. However, I picked myself up and +hearing a loud voice within, pushed on and opened a second, interior +door. + +It seemed the great Black Parliament sitting in Tophet. A hundred black +faces turned round in their rows to peer; and beyond, a black Angel of +Doom was beating a book in a pulpit. It was a negro church; and the +preachers text was about the blackness of darkness, and the weeping +and wailing and teeth-gnashing there. Ha, Ishmael, muttered I, backing +out, Wretched entertainment at the sign of The Trap! + +Moving on, I at last came to a dim sort of light not far from the +docks, and heard a forlorn creaking in the air; and looking up, saw a +swinging sign over the door with a white painting upon it, faintly +representing a tall straight jet of misty spray, and these words +underneathThe Spouter Inn:Peter Coffin. + +Coffin?Spouter?Rather ominous in that particular connexion, thought +I. But it is a common name in Nantucket, they say, and I suppose this +Peter here is an emigrant from there. As the light looked so dim, and +the place, for the time, looked quiet enough, and the dilapidated +little wooden house itself looked as if it might have been carted here +from the ruins of some burnt district, and as the swinging sign had a +poverty-stricken sort of creak to it, I thought that here was the very +spot for cheap lodgings, and the best of pea coffee. + +It was a queer sort of placea gable-ended old house, one side palsied +as it were, and leaning over sadly. It stood on a sharp bleak corner, +where that tempestuous wind Euroclydon kept up a worse howling than +ever it did about poor Pauls tossed craft. Euroclydon, nevertheless, +is a mighty pleasant zephyr to any one in-doors, with his feet on the +hob quietly toasting for bed. In judging of that tempestuous wind +called Euroclydon, says an old writerof whose works I possess the +only copy extantit maketh a marvellous difference, whether thou +lookest out at it from a glass window where the frost is all on the +outside, or whether thou observest it from that sashless window, where +the frost is on both sides, and of which the wight Death is the only +glazier. True enough, thought I, as this passage occurred to my +mindold black-letter, thou reasonest well. Yes, these eyes are +windows, and this body of mine is the house. What a pity they didnt +stop up the chinks and the crannies though, and thrust in a little lint +here and there. But its too late to make any improvements now. The +universe is finished; the copestone is on, and the chips were carted +off a million years ago. Poor Lazarus there, chattering his teeth +against the curbstone for his pillow, and shaking off his tatters with +his shiverings, he might plug up both ears with rags, and put a +corn-cob into his mouth, and yet that would not keep out the +tempestuous Euroclydon. Euroclydon! says old Dives, in his red silken +wrapper(he had a redder one afterwards) pooh, pooh! What a fine frosty +night; how Orion glitters; what northern lights! Let them talk of their +oriental summer climes of everlasting conservatories; give me the +privilege of making my own summer with my own coals. + +But what thinks Lazarus? Can he warm his blue hands by holding them up +to the grand northern lights? Would not Lazarus rather be in Sumatra +than here? Would he not far rather lay him down lengthwise along the +line of the equator; yea, ye gods! go down to the fiery pit itself, in +order to keep out this frost? + +Now, that Lazarus should lie stranded there on the curbstone before the +door of Dives, this is more wonderful than that an iceberg should be +moored to one of the Moluccas. Yet Dives himself, he too lives like a +Czar in an ice palace made of frozen sighs, and being a president of a +temperance society, he only drinks the tepid tears of orphans. + +But no more of this blubbering now, we are going a-whaling, and there +is plenty of that yet to come. Let us scrape the ice from our frosted +feet, and see what sort of a place this Spouter may be. + + +CHAPTER 3. The Spouter-Inn. + +Entering that gable-ended Spouter-Inn, you found yourself in a wide, +low, straggling entry with old-fashioned wainscots, reminding one of +the bulwarks of some condemned old craft. On one side hung a very large +oilpainting so thoroughly besmoked, and every way defaced, that in the +unequal crosslights by which you viewed it, it was only by diligent +study and a series of systematic visits to it, and careful inquiry of +the neighbors, that you could any way arrive at an understanding of its +purpose. Such unaccountable masses of shades and shadows, that at first +you almost thought some ambitious young artist, in the time of the New +England hags, had endeavored to delineate chaos bewitched. But by dint +of much and earnest contemplation, and oft repeated ponderings, and +especially by throwing open the little window towards the back of the +entry, you at last come to the conclusion that such an idea, however +wild, might not be altogether unwarranted. + +But what most puzzled and confounded you was a long, limber, +portentous, black mass of something hovering in the centre of the +picture over three blue, dim, perpendicular lines floating in a +nameless yeast. A boggy, soggy, squitchy picture truly, enough to drive +a nervous man distracted. Yet was there a sort of indefinite, +half-attained, unimaginable sublimity about it that fairly froze you to +it, till you involuntarily took an oath with yourself to find out what +that marvellous painting meant. Ever and anon a bright, but, alas, +deceptive idea would dart you through.Its the Black Sea in a midnight +gale.Its the unnatural combat of the four primal elements.Its a +blasted heath.Its a Hyperborean winter scene.Its the breaking-up of +the icebound stream of Time. But at last all these fancies yielded to +that one portentous something in the pictures midst. _That_ once found +out, and all the rest were plain. But stop; does it not bear a faint +resemblance to a gigantic fish? even the great leviathan himself? + +In fact, the artists design seemed this: a final theory of my own, +partly based upon the aggregated opinions of many aged persons with +whom I conversed upon the subject. The picture represents a Cape-Horner +in a great hurricane; the half-foundered ship weltering there with its +three dismantled masts alone visible; and an exasperated whale, +purposing to spring clean over the craft, is in the enormous act of +impaling himself upon the three mast-heads. + +The opposite wall of this entry was hung all over with a heathenish +array of monstrous clubs and spears. Some were thickly set with +glittering teeth resembling ivory saws; others were tufted with knots +of human hair; and one was sickle-shaped, with a vast handle sweeping +round like the segment made in the new-mown grass by a long-armed +mower. You shuddered as you gazed, and wondered what monstrous cannibal +and savage could ever have gone a death-harvesting with such a hacking, +horrifying implement. Mixed with these were rusty old whaling lances +and harpoons all broken and deformed. Some were storied weapons. With +this once long lance, now wildly elbowed, fifty years ago did Nathan +Swain kill fifteen whales between a sunrise and a sunset. And that +harpoonso like a corkscrew nowwas flung in Javan seas, and run away +with by a whale, years afterwards slain off the Cape of Blanco. The +original iron entered nigh the tail, and, like a restless needle +sojourning in the body of a man, travelled full forty feet, and at last +was found imbedded in the hump. + +Crossing this dusky entry, and on through yon low-arched waycut +through what in old times must have been a great central chimney with +fireplaces all roundyou enter the public room. A still duskier place +is this, with such low ponderous beams above, and such old wrinkled +planks beneath, that you would almost fancy you trod some old crafts +cockpits, especially of such a howling night, when this corner-anchored +old ark rocked so furiously. On one side stood a long, low, shelf-like +table covered with cracked glass cases, filled with dusty rarities +gathered from this wide worlds remotest nooks. Projecting from the +further angle of the room stands a dark-looking denthe bara rude +attempt at a right whales head. Be that how it may, there stands the +vast arched bone of the whales jaw, so wide, a coach might almost +drive beneath it. Within are shabby shelves, ranged round with old +decanters, bottles, flasks; and in those jaws of swift destruction, +like another cursed Jonah (by which name indeed they called him), +bustles a little withered old man, who, for their money, dearly sells +the sailors deliriums and death. + +Abominable are the tumblers into which he pours his poison. Though true +cylinders withoutwithin, the villanous green goggling glasses +deceitfully tapered downwards to a cheating bottom. Parallel meridians +rudely pecked into the glass, surround these footpads goblets. Fill to +_this_ mark, and your charge is but a penny; to _this_ a penny more; +and so on to the full glassthe Cape Horn measure, which you may gulp +down for a shilling. + +Upon entering the place I found a number of young seamen gathered about +a table, examining by a dim light divers specimens of _skrimshander_. I +sought the landlord, and telling him I desired to be accommodated with +a room, received for answer that his house was fullnot a bed +unoccupied. But avast, he added, tapping his forehead, you haint no +objections to sharing a harpooneers blanket, have ye? I spose you are +goin a-whalin, so youd better get used to that sort of thing. + +I told him that I never liked to sleep two in a bed; that if I should +ever do so, it would depend upon who the harpooneer might be, and that +if he (the landlord) really had no other place for me, and the +harpooneer was not decidedly objectionable, why rather than wander +further about a strange town on so bitter a night, I would put up with +the half of any decent mans blanket. + +I thought so. All right; take a seat. Supper?you want supper? +Supperll be ready directly. + +I sat down on an old wooden settle, carved all over like a bench on the +Battery. At one end a ruminating tar was still further adorning it with +his jack-knife, stooping over and diligently working away at the space +between his legs. He was trying his hand at a ship under full sail, but +he didnt make much headway, I thought. + +At last some four or five of us were summoned to our meal in an +adjoining room. It was cold as Icelandno fire at allthe landlord said +he couldnt afford it. Nothing but two dismal tallow candles, each in a +winding sheet. We were fain to button up our monkey jackets, and hold +to our lips cups of scalding tea with our half frozen fingers. But the +fare was of the most substantial kindnot only meat and potatoes, but +dumplings; good heavens! dumplings for supper! One young fellow in a +green box coat, addressed himself to these dumplings in a most direful manner. -Well, you know, Mr. Mawmsey, you would find it the right thing to put -yourself on our side. This Reform will touch everybody by-and-bya -thoroughly popular measurea sort of A, B, C, you know, that must come -first before the rest can follow. I quite agree with you that youve -got to look at the thing in a family light: but public spirit, now. -Were all one family, you knowits all one cupboard. Such a thing as a -vote, now: why, it may help to make mens fortunes at the Capetheres -no knowing what may be the effect of a vote, Mr. Brooke ended, with a -sense of being a little out at sea, though finding it still enjoyable. -But Mr. Mawmsey answered in a tone of decisive check. - -I beg your pardon, sir, but I cant afford that. When I give a vote I -must know what I am doing; I must look to what will be the effects on -my till and ledger, speaking respectfully. Prices, Ill admit, are what -nobody can know the merits of; and the sudden falls after youve bought -in currants, which are a goods that will not keepIve never; myself -seen into the ins and outs there; which is a rebuke to human pride. But -as to one family, theres debtor and creditor, I hope; theyre not -going to reform that away; else I should vote for things staying as -they are. Few men have less need to cry for change than I have, -personally speakingthat is, for self and family. I am not one of those -who have nothing to lose: I mean as to respectability both in parish -and private business, and noways in respect of your honorable self and -custom, which you was good enough to say you would not withdraw from -me, vote or no vote, while the article sent in was satisfactory. - -After this conversation Mr. Mawmsey went up and boasted to his wife -that he had been rather too many for Brooke of Tipton, and that he -didnt mind so much now about going to the poll. - -Mr. Brooke on this occasion abstained from boasting of his tactics to -Ladislaw, who for his part was glad enough to persuade himself that he -had no concern with any canvassing except the purely argumentative -sort, and that he worked no meaner engine than knowledge. Mr. Brooke, -necessarily, had his agents, who understood the nature of the -Middlemarch voter and the means of enlisting his ignorance on the side -of the Billwhich were remarkably similar to the means of enlisting it -on the side against the Bill. Will stopped his ears. Occasionally -Parliament, like the rest of our lives, even to our eating and apparel, -could hardly go on if our imaginations were too active about processes. -There were plenty of dirty-handed men in the world to do dirty -business; and Will protested to himself that his share in bringing Mr. -Brooke through would be quite innocent. - -But whether he should succeed in that mode of contributing to the -majority on the right side was very doubtful to him. He had written out -various speeches and memoranda for speeches, but he had begun to -perceive that Mr. Brookes mind, if it had the burthen of remembering -any train of thought, would let it drop, run away in search of it, and -not easily come back again. To collect documents is one mode of serving -your country, and to remember the contents of a document is another. -No! the only way in which Mr. Brooke could be coerced into thinking of -the right arguments at the right time was to be well plied with them -till they took up all the room in his brain. But here there was the -difficulty of finding room, so many things having been taken in -beforehand. Mr. Brooke himself observed that his ideas stood rather in -his way when he was speaking. - -However, Ladislaws coaching was forthwith to be put to the test, for -before the day of nomination Mr. Brooke was to explain himself to the -worthy electors of Middlemarch from the balcony of the White Hart, -which looked out advantageously at an angle of the market-place, -commanding a large area in front and two converging streets. It was a -fine May morning, and everything seemed hopeful: there was some -prospect of an understanding between Bagsters committee and Brookes, -to which Mr. Bulstrode, Mr. Standish as a Liberal lawyer, and such -manufacturers as Mr. Plymdale and Mr. Vincy, gave a solidity which -almost counterbalanced Mr. Hawley and his associates who sat for -Pinkerton at the Green Dragon. Mr. Brooke, conscious of having weakened -the blasts of the Trumpet against him, by his reforms as a landlord -in the last half year, and hearing himself cheered a little as he drove -into the town, felt his heart tolerably light under his buff-colored -waistcoat. But with regard to critical occasions, it often happens that -all moments seem comfortably remote until the last. - -This looks well, eh? said Mr. Brooke as the crowd gathered. I shall -have a good audience, at any rate. I like this, nowthis kind of public -made up of ones own neighbors, you know. - -The weavers and tanners of Middlemarch, unlike Mr. Mawmsey, had never -thought of Mr. Brooke as a neighbor, and were not more attached to him -than if he had been sent in a box from London. But they listened -without much disturbance to the speakers who introduced the candidate, -one of thema political personage from Brassing, who came to tell -Middlemarch its dutyspoke so fully, that it was alarming to think what -the candidate could find to say after him. Meanwhile the crowd became -denser, and as the political personage neared the end of his speech, -Mr. Brooke felt a remarkable change in his sensations while he still -handled his eye-glass, trifled with documents before him, and exchanged -remarks with his committee, as a man to whom the moment of summons was -indifferent. - -Ill take another glass of sherry, Ladislaw, he said, with an easy -air, to Will, who was close behind him, and presently handed him the -supposed fortifier. It was ill-chosen; for Mr. Brooke was an abstemious -man, and to drink a second glass of sherry quickly at no great interval -from the first was a surprise to his system which tended to scatter his -energies instead of collecting them. Pray pity him: so many English -gentlemen make themselves miserable by speechifying on entirely private -grounds! whereas Mr. Brooke wished to serve his country by standing for -Parliamentwhich, indeed, may also be done on private grounds, but -being once undertaken does absolutely demand some speechifying. - -It was not about the beginning of his speech that Mr. Brooke was at all -anxious; this, he felt sure, would be all right; he should have it -quite pat, cut out as neatly as a set of couplets from Pope. Embarking -would be easy, but the vision of open sea that might come after was -alarming. And questions, now, hinted the demon just waking up in his -stomach, somebody may put questions about the schedules.Ladislaw, he -continued, aloud, just hand me the memorandum of the schedules. - -When Mr. Brooke presented himself on the balcony, the cheers were quite -loud enough to counterbalance the yells, groans, brayings, and other -expressions of adverse theory, which were so moderate that Mr. Standish -(decidedly an old bird) observed in the ear next to him, This looks -dangerous, by God! Hawley has got some deeper plan than this. Still, -the cheers were exhilarating, and no candidate could look more amiable -than Mr. Brooke, with the memorandum in his breast-pocket, his left -hand on the rail of the balcony, and his right trifling with his -eye-glass. The striking points in his appearance were his buff -waistcoat, short-clipped blond hair, and neutral physiognomy. He began -with some confidence. - -GentlemenElectors of Middlemarch! - -This was so much the right thing that a little pause after it seemed -natural. - -Im uncommonly glad to be hereI was never so proud and happy in my -lifenever so happy, you know. - -This was a bold figure of speech, but not exactly the right thing; for, -unhappily, the pat opening had slipped awayeven couplets from Pope may -be but fallings from us, vanishings, when fear clutches us, and a -glass of sherry is hurrying like smoke among our ideas. Ladislaw, who -stood at the window behind the speaker, thought, its all up now. The -only chance is that, since the best thing wont always do, floundering -may answer for once. Mr. Brooke, meanwhile, having lost other clews, -fell back on himself and his qualificationsalways an appropriate -graceful subject for a candidate. - -I am a close neighbor of yours, my good friendsyouve known me on the -bench a good whileIve always gone a good deal into public -questionsmachinery, now, and machine-breakingyoure many of you -concerned with machinery, and Ive been going into that lately. It -wont do, you know, breaking machines: everything must go ontrade, -manufactures, commerce, interchange of staplesthat kind of thingsince -Adam Smith, that must go on. We must look all over the -globe:Observation with extensive view, must look everywhere, from -China to Peru, as somebody saysJohnson, I think, The Rambler, you -know. That is what I have done up to a certain pointnot as far as -Peru; but Ive not always stayed at homeI saw it wouldnt do. Ive -been in the Levant, where some of your Middlemarch goods goand then, -again, in the Baltic. The Baltic, now. - -Plying among his recollections in this way, Mr. Brooke might have got -along, easily to himself, and would have come back from the remotest -seas without trouble; but a diabolical procedure had been set up by the -enemy. At one and the same moment there had risen above the shoulders -of the crowd, nearly opposite Mr. Brooke, and within ten yards of him, -the effigy of himself: buff-colored waistcoat, eye-glass, and neutral -physiognomy, painted on rag; and there had arisen, apparently in the -air, like the note of the cuckoo, a parrot-like, Punch-voiced echo of -his words. Everybody looked up at the open windows in the houses at the -opposite angles of the converging streets; but they were either blank, -or filled by laughing listeners. The most innocent echo has an impish -mockery in it when it follows a gravely persistent speaker, and this -echo was not at all innocent; if it did not follow with the precision -of a natural echo, it had a wicked choice of the words it overtook. By -the time it said, The Baltic, now, the laugh which had been running -through the audience became a general shout, and but for the sobering -effects of party and that great public cause which the entanglement of -things had identified with Brooke of Tipton, the laugh might have -caught his committee. Mr. Bulstrode asked, reprehensively, what the new -police was doing; but a voice could not well be collared, and an attack -on the effigy of the candidate would have been too equivocal, since -Hawley probably meant it to be pelted. - -Mr. Brooke himself was not in a position to be quickly conscious of -anything except a general slipping away of ideas within himself: he had -even a little singing in the ears, and he was the only person who had -not yet taken distinct account of the echo or discerned the image of -himself. Few things hold the perceptions more thoroughly captive than -anxiety about what we have got to say. Mr. Brooke heard the laughter; -but he had expected some Tory efforts at disturbance, and he was at -this moment additionally excited by the tickling, stinging sense that -his lost exordium was coming back to fetch him from the Baltic. - -That reminds me, he went on, thrusting a hand into his side-pocket, -with an easy air, if I wanted a precedent, you knowbut we never want -a precedent for the right thingbut there is Chatham, now; I cant say -I should have supported Chatham, or Pitt, the younger Pitthe was not a -man of ideas, and we want ideas, you know. - -Blast your ideas! we want the Bill, said a loud rough voice from the -crowd below. - -Immediately the invisible Punch, who had hitherto followed Mr. Brooke, -repeated, Blast your ideas! we want the Bill. The laugh was louder -than ever, and for the first time Mr. Brooke being himself silent, -heard distinctly the mocking echo. But it seemed to ridicule his -interrupter, and in that light was encouraging; so he replied with -amenity - -There is something in what you say, my good friend, and what do we -meet for but to speak our mindsfreedom of opinion, freedom of the -press, libertythat kind of thing? The Bill, nowyou shall have the -Billhere Mr. Brooke paused a moment to fix on his eye-glass and take -the paper from his breast-pocket, with a sense of being practical and -coming to particulars. The invisible Punch followed: - -You shall have the Bill, Mr. Brooke, per electioneering contest, and a -seat outside Parliament as delivered, five thousand pounds, seven -shillings, and fourpence. - -Mr. Brooke, amid the roars of laughter, turned red, let his eye-glass -fall, and looking about him confusedly, saw the image of himself, which -had come nearer. The next moment he saw it dolorously bespattered with -eggs. His spirit rose a little, and his voice too. - -Buffoonery, tricks, ridicule the test of truthall that is very -wellhere an unpleasant egg broke on Mr. Brookes shoulder, as the -echo said, All that is very well; then came a hail of eggs, chiefly -aimed at the image, but occasionally hitting the original, as if by -chance. There was a stream of new men pushing among the crowd; -whistles, yells, bellowings, and fifes made all the greater hubbub -because there was shouting and struggling to put them down. No voice -would have had wing enough to rise above the uproar, and Mr. Brooke, -disagreeably anointed, stood his ground no longer. The frustration -would have been less exasperating if it had been less gamesome and -boyish: a serious assault of which the newspaper reporter can aver -that it endangered the learned gentlemans ribs, or can respectfully -bear witness to the soles of that gentlemans boots having been -visible above the railing, has perhaps more consolations attached to -it. - -Mr. Brooke re-entered the committee-room, saying, as carelessly as he -could, This is a little too bad, you know. I should have got the ear -of the people by-and-bybut they didnt give me time. I should have -gone into the Bill by-and-by, you know, he added, glancing at -Ladislaw. However, things will come all right at the nomination. - -But it was not resolved unanimously that things would come right; on -the contrary, the committee looked rather grim, and the political -personage from Brassing was writing busily, as if he were brewing new -devices. - -It was Bowyer who did it, said Mr. Standish, evasively. I know it as -well as if he had been advertised. Hes uncommonly good at -ventriloquism, and he did it uncommonly well, by God! Hawley has been -having him to dinner lately: theres a fund of talent in Bowyer. - -Well, you know, you never mentioned him to me, Standish, else I would -have invited him to dine, said poor Mr. Brooke, who had gone through a -great deal of inviting for the good of his country. - -Theres not a more paltry fellow in Middlemarch than Bowyer, said -Ladislaw, indignantly, but it seems as if the paltry fellows were -always to turn the scale. - -Will was thoroughly out of temper with himself as well as with his -principal, and he went to shut himself in his rooms with a -half-formed resolve to throw up the Pioneer and Mr. Brooke together. -Why should he stay? If the impassable gulf between himself and Dorothea -were ever to be filled up, it must rather be by his going away and -getting into a thoroughly different position than by staying here and -slipping into deserved contempt as an understrapper of Brookes. Then -came the young dream of wonders that he might doin five years, for -example: political writing, political speaking, would get a higher -value now public life was going to be wider and more national, and they -might give him such distinction that he would not seem to be asking -Dorothea to step down to him. Five years:if he could only be sure that -she cared for him more than for others; if he could only make her aware -that he stood aloof until he could tell his love without lowering -himselfthen he could go away easily, and begin a career which at -five-and-twenty seemed probable enough in the inward order of things, -where talent brings fame, and fame everything else which is delightful. -He could speak and he could write; he could master any subject if he -chose, and he meant always to take the side of reason and justice, on -which he would carry all his ardor. Why should he not one day be lifted -above the shoulders of the crowd, and feel that he had won that -eminence well? Without doubt he would leave Middlemarch, go to town, -and make himself fit for celebrity by eating his dinners. - -But not immediately: not until some kind of sign had passed between him -and Dorothea. He could not be satisfied until she knew why, even if he -were the man she would choose to marry, he would not marry her. Hence -he must keep his post and bear with Mr. Brooke a little longer. - -But he soon had reason to suspect that Mr. Brooke had anticipated him -in the wish to break up their connection. Deputations without and -voices within had concurred in inducing that philanthropist to take a -stronger measure than usual for the good of mankind; namely, to -withdraw in favor of another candidate, to whom he left the advantages -of his canvassing machinery. He himself called this a strong measure, -but observed that his health was less capable of sustaining excitement -than he had imagined. - -I have felt uneasy about the chestit wont do to carry that too far, -he said to Ladislaw in explaining the affair. I must pull up. Poor -Casaubon was a warning, you know. Ive made some heavy advances, but -Ive dug a channel. Its rather coarse workthis electioneering, eh, -Ladislaw? dare say you are tired of it. However, we have dug a channel -with the Pioneerput things in a track, and so on. A more ordinary -man than you might carry it on nowmore ordinary, you know. - -Do you wish me to give it up? said Will, the quick color coming in -his face, as he rose from the writing-table, and took a turn of three -steps with his hands in his pockets. I am ready to do so whenever you -wish it. - -As to wishing, my dear Ladislaw, I have the highest opinion of your -powers, you know. But about the Pioneer, I have been consulting a -little with some of the men on our side, and they are inclined to take -it into their handsindemnify me to a certain extentcarry it on, in -fact. And under the circumstances, you might like to give upmight find -a better field. These people might not take that high view of you which -I have always taken, as an alter ego, a right handthough I always -looked forward to your doing something else. I think of having a run -into France. But Ill write you any letters, you knowto Althorpe and -people of that kind. Ive met Althorpe. - -I am exceedingly obliged to you, said Ladislaw, proudly. Since you -are going to part with the Pioneer, I need not trouble you about the -steps I shall take. I may choose to continue here for the present. - -After Mr. Brooke had left him Will said to himself, The rest of the -family have been urging him to get rid of me, and he doesnt care now -about my going. I shall stay as long as I like. I shall go of my own -movements and not because they are afraid of me. - - - - -CHAPTER LII. - -His heart -The lowliest duties on itself did lay. -WORDSWORTH. - - -On that June evening when Mr. Farebrother knew that he was to have the -Lowick living, there was joy in the old fashioned parlor, and even the -portraits of the great lawyers seemed to look on with satisfaction. His -mother left her tea and toast untouched, but sat with her usual pretty -primness, only showing her emotion by that flush in the cheeks and -brightness in the eyes which give an old woman a touching momentary -identity with her far-off youthful self, and saying decisively - -The greatest comfort, Camden, is that you have deserved it. - -When a man gets a good berth, mother, half the deserving must come -after, said the son, brimful of pleasure, and not trying to conceal -it. The gladness in his face was of that active kind which seems to -have energy enough not only to flash outwardly, but to light up busy -vision within: one seemed to see thoughts, as well as delight, in his -glances. - -Now, aunt, he went on, rubbing his hands and looking at Miss Noble, -who was making tender little beaver-like noises, There shall be -sugar-candy always on the table for you to steal and give to the -children, and you shall have a great many new stockings to make -presents of, and you shall darn your own more than ever! - -Miss Noble nodded at her nephew with a subdued half-frightened laugh, -conscious of having already dropped an additional lump of sugar into -her basket on the strength of the new preferment. - -As for you, Winnythe Vicar went onI shall make no difficulty about -your marrying any Lowick bachelorMr. Solomon Featherstone, for -example, as soon as I find you are in love with him. - -Miss Winifred, who had been looking at her brother all the while and -crying heartily, which was her way of rejoicing, smiled through her -tears and said, You must set me the example, Cam: _you_ must marry -now. - -With all my heart. But who is in love with me? I am a seedy old -fellow, said the Vicar, rising, pushing his chair away and looking -down at himself. What do you say, mother? - -You are a handsome man, Camden: though not so fine a figure of a man -as your father, said the old lady. - -I wish you would marry Miss Garth, brother, said Miss Winifred. She -would make us so lively at Lowick. - -Very fine! You talk as if young women were tied up to be chosen, like -poultry at market; as if I had only to ask and everybody would have -me, said the Vicar, not caring to specify. - -We dont want everybody, said Miss Winifred. But _you_ would like -Miss Garth, mother, shouldnt you? - -My sons choice shall be mine, said Mrs. Farebrother, with majestic -discretion, and a wife would be most welcome, Camden. You will want -your whist at home when we go to Lowick, and Henrietta Noble never was -a whist-player. (Mrs. Farebrother always called her tiny old sister by -that magnificent name.) - -I shall do without whist now, mother. - -Why so, Camden? In my time whist was thought an undeniable amusement -for a good churchman, said Mrs. Farebrother, innocent of the meaning -that whist had for her son, and speaking rather sharply, as at some -dangerous countenancing of new doctrine. - -I shall be too busy for whist; I shall have two parishes, said the -Vicar, preferring not to discuss the virtues of that game. - -He had already said to Dorothea, I dont feel bound to give up St. -Botolphs. It is protest enough against the pluralism they want to -reform if I give somebody else most of the money. The stronger thing is -not to give up power, but to use it well. - -I have thought of that, said Dorothea. So far as self is concerned, -I think it would be easier to give up power and money than to keep -them. It seems very unfitting that I should have this patronage, yet I -felt that I ought not to let it be used by some one else instead of -me. - -It is I who am bound to act so that you will not regret your power, -said Mr. Farebrother. - -His was one of the natures in which conscience gets the more active -when the yoke of life ceases to gall them. He made no display of -humility on the subject, but in his heart he felt rather ashamed that -his conduct had shown laches which others who did not get benefices -were free from. - -I used often to wish I had been something else than a clergyman, he -said to Lydgate, but perhaps it will be better to try and make as good -a clergyman out of myself as I can. That is the well-beneficed point of -view, you perceive, from which difficulties are much simplified, he -ended, smiling. - -The Vicar did feel then as if his share of duties would be easy. But -Duty has a trick of behaving unexpectedlysomething like a heavy friend -whom we have amiably asked to visit us, and who breaks his leg within -our gates. - -Hardly a week later, Duty presented itself in his study under the -disguise of Fred Vincy, now returned from Omnibus College with his -bachelors degree. - -I am ashamed to trouble you, Mr. Farebrother, said Fred, whose fair -open face was propitiating, but you are the only friend I can consult. -I told you everything once before, and you were so good that I cant -help coming to you again. - -Sit down, Fred, Im ready to hear and do anything I can, said the -Vicar, who was busy packing some small objects for removal, and went on -with his work. - -I wanted to tell you Fred hesitated an instant and then went on -plungingly, I might go into the Church now; and really, look where I -may, I cant see anything else to do. I dont like it, but I know its -uncommonly hard on my father to say so, after he has spent a good deal -of money in educating me for it. Fred paused again an instant, and -then repeated, and I cant see anything else to do. - -I did talk to your father about it, Fred, but I made little way with -him. He said it was too late. But you have got over one bridge now: -what are your other difficulties? - -Merely that I dont like it. I dont like divinity, and preaching, and -feeling obliged to look serious. I like riding across country, and -doing as other men do. I dont mean that I want to be a bad fellow in -any way; but Ive no taste for the sort of thing people expect of a -clergyman. And yet what else am I to do? My father cant spare me any -capital, else I might go into farming. And he has no room for me in his -trade. And of course I cant begin to study for law or physic now, when -my father wants me to earn something. Its all very well to say Im -wrong to go into the Church; but those who say so might as well tell me -to go into the backwoods. - -Freds voice had taken a tone of grumbling remonstrance, and Mr. -Farebrother might have been inclined to smile if his mind had not been -too busy in imagining more than Fred told him. - -Have you any difficulties about doctrinesabout the Articles? he -said, trying hard to think of the question simply for Freds sake. - -No; I suppose the Articles are right. I am not prepared with any -arguments to disprove them, and much better, cleverer fellows than I am -go in for them entirely. I think it would be rather ridiculous in me to -urge scruples of that sort, as if I were a judge, said Fred, quite -simply. - -I suppose, then, it has occurred to you that you might be a fair -parish priest without being much of a divine? - -Of course, if I am obliged to be a clergyman, I shall try and do my -duty, though I maynt like it. Do you think any body ought to blame -me? - -For going into the Church under the circumstances? That depends on -your conscience, Fredhow far you have counted the cost, and seen what -your position will require of you. I can only tell you about myself, -that I have always been too lax, and have been uneasy in consequence. - -But there is another hindrance, said Fred, coloring. I did not tell -you before, though perhaps I may have said things that made you guess -it. There is somebody I am very fond of: I have loved her ever since we -were children. - -Miss Garth, I suppose? said the Vicar, examining some labels very -closely. - -Yes. I shouldnt mind anything if she would have me. And I know I -could be a good fellow then. - -And you think she returns the feeling? - -She never will say so; and a good while ago she made me promise not to -speak to her about it again. And she has set her mind especially -against my being a clergyman; I know that. But I cant give her up. I -do think she cares about me. I saw Mrs. Garth last night, and she said -that Mary was staying at Lowick Rectory with Miss Farebrother. - -Yes, she is very kindly helping my sister. Do you wish to go there? - -No, I want to ask a great favor of you. I am ashamed to bother you in -this way; but Mary might listen to what you said, if you mentioned the -subject to herI mean about my going into the Church. - -That is rather a delicate task, my dear Fred. I shall have to -presuppose your attachment to her; and to enter on the subject as you -wish me to do, will be asking her to tell me whether she returns it. - -That is what I want her to tell you, said Fred, bluntly. I dont -know what to do, unless I can get at her feeling. - -You mean that you would be guided by that as to your going into the -Church? - -If Mary said she would never have me I might as well go wrong in one -way as another. - -That is nonsense, Fred. Men outlive their love, but they dont outlive -the consequences of their recklessness. - -Not my sort of love: I have never been without loving Mary. If I had -to give her up, it would be like beginning to live on wooden legs. - -Will she not be hurt at my intrusion? - -No, I feel sure she will not. She respects you more than any one, and -she would not put you off with fun as she does me. Of course I could -not have told any one else, or asked any one else to speak to her, but -you. There is no one else who could be such a friend to both of us. -Fred paused a moment, and then said, rather complainingly, And she -ought to acknowledge that I have worked in order to pass. She ought to -believe that I would exert myself for her sake. - -There was a moments silence before Mr. Farebrother laid down his work, -and putting out his hand to Fred said - -Very well, my boy. I will do what you wish. - -That very day Mr. Farebrother went to Lowick parsonage on the nag which -he had just set up. Decidedly I am an old stalk, he thought, the -young growths are pushing me aside. - -He found Mary in the garden gathering roses and sprinkling the petals -on a sheet. The sun was low, and tall trees sent their shadows across -the grassy walks where Mary was moving without bonnet or parasol. She -did not observe Mr. Farebrothers approach along the grass, and had -just stooped down to lecture a small black-and-tan terrier, which would -persist in walking on the sheet and smelling at the rose-leaves as Mary -sprinkled them. She took his fore-paws in one hand, and lifted up the -forefinger of the other, while the dog wrinkled his brows and looked -embarrassed. Fly, Fly, I am ashamed of you, Mary was saying in a -grave contralto. This is not becoming in a sensible dog; anybody would -think you were a silly young gentleman. - -You are unmerciful to young gentlemen, Miss Garth, said the Vicar, -within two yards of her. - -Mary started up and blushed. It always answers to reason with Fly, -she said, laughingly. - -But not with young gentlemen? - -Oh, with some, I suppose; since some of them turn into excellent men. - -I am glad of that admission, because I want at this very moment to -interest you in a young gentleman. - -Not a silly one, I hope, said Mary, beginning to pluck the roses -again, and feeling her heart beat uncomfortably. - -No; though perhaps wisdom is not his strong point, but rather -affection and sincerity. However, wisdom lies more in those two -qualities than people are apt to imagine. I hope you know by those -marks what young gentleman I mean. - -Yes, I think I do, said Mary, bravely, her face getting more serious, -and her hands cold; it must be Fred Vincy. - -He has asked me to consult you about his going into the Church. I hope -you will not think that I consented to take a liberty in promising to -do so. - -On the contrary, Mr. Farebrother, said Mary, giving up the roses, and -folding her arms, but unable to look up, whenever you have anything to -say to me I feel honored. - -But before I enter on that question, let me just touch a point on -which your father took me into confidence; by the way, it was that very -evening on which I once before fulfilled a mission from Fred, just -after he had gone to college. Mr. Garth told me what happened on the -night of Featherstones deathhow you refused to burn the will; and he -said that you had some heart-prickings on that subject, because you had -been the innocent means of hindering Fred from getting his ten thousand -pounds. I have kept that in mind, and I have heard something that may -relieve you on that scoremay show you that no sin-offering is demanded -from you there. - -Mr. Farebrother paused a moment and looked at Mary. He meant to give -Fred his full advantage, but it would be well, he thought, to clear her -mind of any superstitions, such as women sometimes follow when they do -a man the wrong of marrying him as an act of atonement. Marys cheeks -had begun to burn a little, and she was mute. - -I mean, that your action made no real difference to Freds lot. I find -that the first will would not have been legally good after the burning -of the last; it would not have stood if it had been disputed, and you -may be sure it would have been disputed. So, on that score, you may -feel your mind free. - -Thank you, Mr. Farebrother, said Mary, earnestly. I am grateful to -you for remembering my feelings. - -Well, now I may go on. Fred, you know, has taken his degree. He has -worked his way so far, and now the question is, what is he to do? That -question is so difficult that he is inclined to follow his fathers -wishes and enter the Church, though you know better than I do that he -was quite set against that formerly. I have questioned him on the -subject, and I confess I see no insuperable objection to his being a -clergyman, as things go. He says that he could turn his mind to doing -his best in that vocation, on one condition. If that condition were -fulfilled I would do my utmost in helping Fred on. After a timenot, of -course, at firsthe might be with me as my curate, and he would have so -much to do that his stipend would be nearly what I used to get as -vicar. But I repeat that there is a condition without which all this -good cannot come to pass. He has opened his heart to me, Miss Garth, -and asked me to plead for him. The condition lies entirely in your -feeling. - -Mary looked so much moved, that he said after a moment, Let us walk a -little; and when they were walking he added, To speak quite plainly, -Fred will not take any course which would lessen the chance that you -would consent to be his wife; but with that prospect, he will try his -best at anything you approve. - -I cannot possibly say that I will ever be his wife, Mr. Farebrother: -but I certainly never will be his wife if he becomes a clergyman. What -you say is most generous and kind; I dont mean for a moment to correct -your judgment. It is only that I have my girlish, mocking way of -looking at things, said Mary, with a returning sparkle of playfulness -in her answer which only made its modesty more charming. - -He wishes me to report exactly what you think, said Mr. Farebrother. - -I could not love a man who is ridiculous, said Mary, not choosing to -go deeper. Fred has sense and knowledge enough to make him -respectable, if he likes, in some good worldly business, but I can -never imagine him preaching and exhorting, and pronouncing blessings, -and praying by the sick, without feeling as if I were looking at a -caricature. His being a clergyman would be only for gentilitys sake, -and I think there is nothing more contemptible than such imbecile -gentility. I used to think that of Mr. Crowse, with his empty face and -neat umbrella, and mincing little speeches. What right have such men to -represent Christianityas if it were an institution for getting up -idiots genteellyas if Mary checked herself. She had been carried -along as if she had been speaking to Fred instead of Mr. Farebrother. - -Young women are severe: they dont feel the stress of action as men -do, though perhaps I ought to make you an exception there. But you -dont put Fred Vincy on so low a level as that? - -No, indeed, he has plenty of sense, but I think he would not show it -as a clergyman. He would be a piece of professional affectation. - -Then the answer is quite decided. As a clergyman he could have no -hope? - -Mary shook her head. - -But if he braved all the difficulties of getting his bread in some -other waywill you give him the support of hope? May he count on -winning you? - -I think Fred ought not to need telling again what I have already said -to him, Mary answered, with a slight resentment in her manner. I mean -that he ought not to put such questions until he has done something -worthy, instead of saying that he could do it. - -Mr. Farebrother was silent for a minute or more, and then, as they -turned and paused under the shadow of a maple at the end of a grassy -walk, said, I understand that you resist any attempt to fetter you, -but either your feeling for Fred Vincy excludes your entertaining -another attachment, or it does not: either he may count on your -remaining single until he shall have earned your hand, or he may in any -case be disappointed. Pardon me, Maryyou know I used to catechise you -under that namebut when the state of a womans affections touches the -happiness of another lifeof more lives than oneI think it would be -the nobler course for her to be perfectly direct and open. - -Mary in her turn was silent, wondering not at Mr. Farebrothers manner -but at his tone, which had a grave restrained emotion in it. When the -strange idea flashed across her that his words had reference to -himself, she was incredulous, and ashamed of entertaining it. She had -never thought that any man could love her except Fred, who had espoused -her with the umbrella ring, when she wore socks and little strapped -shoes; still less that she could be of any importance to Mr. -Farebrother, the cleverest man in her narrow circle. She had only time -to feel that all this was hazy and perhaps illusory; but one thing was -clear and determinedher answer. - -Since you think it my duty, Mr. Farebrother, I will tell you that I -have too strong a feeling for Fred to give him up for any one else. I -should never be quite happy if I thought he was unhappy for the loss of -me. It has taken such deep root in memy 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 ones 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. Farebrothers manner, made her -feel suddenly miserable, as she had once felt when she saw her fathers -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. - - - - -CHAPTER LIII. - -It is but a shallow haste which concludeth insincerity from what -outsiders call inconsistencyputting 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-changers 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. - -Enough. We are concerned with looking at Joshua Riggs sale of his land -from Mr. Bulstrodes point of view, and he interpreted it as a cheering -dispensation conveying perhaps a sanction to a purpose which he had for -some time entertained without external encouragement; he interpreted it -thus, but not too confidently, offering up his thanksgiving in guarded -phraseology. His doubts did not arise from the possible relations of -the event to Joshua Riggs destiny, which belonged to the unmapped -regions not taken under the providential government, except perhaps in -an imperfect colonial way; but they arose from reflecting that this -dispensation too might be a chastisement for himself, as Mr. -Farebrothers induction to the living clearly was. - -This was not what Mr. Bulstrode said to any man for the sake of -deceiving him: it was what he said to himselfit was as genuinely his -mode of explaining events as any theory of yours may be, if you happen -to disagree with him. For the egoism which enters into our theories -does not affect their sincerity; rather, the more our egoism is -satisfied, the more robust is our belief. - -However, whether for sanction or for chastisement, Mr. Bulstrode, -hardly fifteen months after the death of Peter Featherstone, had become -the proprietor of Stone Court, and what Peter would say if he were -worthy to know, had become an inexhaustible and consolatory subject of -conversation to his disappointed relatives. The tables were now turned -on that dear brother departed, and to contemplate the frustration of -his cunning by the superior cunning of things in general was a cud of -delight to Solomon. Mrs. Waule had a melancholy triumph in the proof -that it did not answer to make false Featherstones and cut off the -genuine; and Sister Martha receiving the news in the Chalky Flats said, -Dear, dear! then the Almighty could have been none so pleased with the -almshouses after all. - -Affectionate Mrs. Bulstrode was particularly glad of the advantage -which her husbands health was likely to get from the purchase of Stone -Court. Few days passed without his riding thither and looking over some -part of the farm with the bailiff, and the evenings were delicious in -that quiet spot, when the new hay-ricks lately set up were sending -forth odors to mingle with the breath of the rich old garden. One -evening, while the sun was still above the horizon and burning in -golden lamps among the great walnut boughs, Mr. Bulstrode was pausing -on horseback outside the front gate waiting for Caleb Garth, who had -met him by appointment to give an opinion on a question of stable -drainage, and was now advising the bailiff in the rick-yard. - -Mr. Bulstrode was conscious of being in a good spiritual frame and more -than usually serene, under the influence of his innocent recreation. He -was doctrinally convinced that there was a total absence of merit in -himself; but that doctrinal conviction may be held without pain when -the sense of demerit does not take a distinct shape in memory and -revive the tingling of shame or the pang of remorse. Nay, it may be -held with intense satisfaction when the depth of our sinning is but a -measure for the depth of forgiveness, and a clenching proof that we are -peculiar instruments of the divine intention. The memory has as many -moods as the temper, and shifts its scenery like a diorama. At this -moment Mr. Bulstrode felt as if the sunshine were all one with that of -far-off evenings when he was a very young man and used to go out -preaching beyond Highbury. And he would willingly have had that service -of exhortation in prospect now. The texts were there still, and so was -his own facility in expounding them. His brief reverie was interrupted -by the return of Caleb Garth, who also was on horseback, and was just -shaking his bridle before starting, when he exclaimed - -Bless my heart! whats this fellow in black coming along the lane? -Hes like one of those men one sees about after the races. - -Mr. Bulstrode turned his horse and looked along the lane, but made no -reply. The comer was our slight acquaintance Mr. Raffles, whose -appearance presented no other change than such as was due to a suit of -black and a crape hat-band. He was within three yards of the horseman -now, and they could see the flash of recognition in his face as he -whirled his stick upward, looking all the while at Mr. Bulstrode, and -at last exclaiming: - -By Jove, Nick, its you! I couldnt be mistaken, though the -five-and-twenty years have played old Boguy with us both! How are you, -eh? you didnt expect to see _me_ here. Come, shake us by the hand. To -say that Mr. Raffles manner was rather excited would be only one mode -of saying that it was evening. Caleb Garth could see that there was a -moment of struggle and hesitation in Mr. Bulstrode, but it ended in his -putting out his hand coldly to Raffles and saying - -I did not indeed expect to see you in this remote country place. - -Well, it belongs to a stepson of mine, said Raffles, adjusting -himself in a swaggering attitude. I came to see him here before. Im -not so surprised at seeing you, old fellow, because I picked up a -letterwhat you may call a providential thing. Its uncommonly -fortunate I met you, though; for I dont care about seeing my stepson: -hes not affectionate, and his poor mothers gone now. To tell the -truth, I came out of love to you, Nick: I came to get your address, -forlook here! Raffles drew a crumpled paper from his pocket. - -Almost any other man than Caleb Garth might have been tempted to linger -on the spot for the sake of hearing all he could about a man whose -acquaintance with Bulstrode seemed to imply passages in the bankers -life so unlike anything that was known of him in Middlemarch that they -must have the nature of a secret to pique curiosity. But Caleb was -peculiar: certain human tendencies which are commonly strong were -almost absent from his mind; and one of these was curiosity about -personal affairs. Especially if there was anything discreditable to be -found out concerning another man, Caleb preferred not to know it; and -if he had to tell anybody under him that his evil doings were -discovered, he was more embarrassed than the culprit. He now spurred -his horse, and saying, I wish you good evening, Mr. Bulstrode; I must -be getting home, set off at a trot. - -You didnt put your full address to this letter, Raffles continued. -That was not like the first-rate man of business you used to be. The -Shrubs,they may be anywhere: you live near at hand, eh?have cut the -London concern altogetherperhaps turned country squirehave a rural -mansion to invite me to. Lord, how many years it is ago! The old lady -must have been dead a pretty long whilegone to glory without the pain -of knowing how poor her daughter was, eh? But, by Jove! youre very -pale and pasty, Nick. Come, if youre going home, Ill walk by your -side. - -Mr. Bulstrodes usual paleness had in fact taken an almost deathly hue. -Five minutes before, the expanse of his life had been submerged in its -evening sunshine which shone backward to its remembered morning: sin -seemed to be a question of doctrine and inward penitence, humiliation -an exercise of the closet, the bearing of his deeds a matter of private -vision adjusted solely by spiritual relations and conceptions of the -divine purposes. And now, as if by some hideous magic, this loud red -figure had risen before him in unmanageable solidityan incorporate -past which had not entered into his imagination of chastisements. But -Mr. Bulstrodes thought was busy, and he was not a man to act or speak -rashly. - -I was going home, he said, but I can defer my ride a little. And you -can, if you please, rest here. - -Thank you, said Raffles, making a grimace. I dont care now about -seeing my stepson. Id rather go home with you. - -Your stepson, if Mr. Rigg Featherstone was he, is here no longer. I am -master here now. - -Raffles opened wide eyes, and gave a long whistle of surprise, before -he said, Well then, Ive no objection. Ive had enough walking from -the coach-road. I never was much of a walker, or rider either. What I -like is a smart vehicle and a spirited cob. I was always a little heavy -in the saddle. What a pleasant surprise it must be to you to see me, -old fellow! he continued, as they turned towards the house. You dont -say so; but you never took your luck heartilyyou were always thinking -of improving the occasionyoud such a gift for improving your luck. - -Mr. Raffles seemed greatly to enjoy his own wit, and swung his leg in a -swaggering manner which was rather too much for his companions -judicious patience. - -If I remember rightly, Mr. Bulstrode observed, with chill anger, our -acquaintance many years ago had not the sort of intimacy which you are -now assuming, Mr. Raffles. Any services you desire of me will be the -more readily rendered if you will avoid a tone of familiarity which did -not lie in our former intercourse, and can hardly be warranted by more -than twenty years of separation. - -You dont like being called Nick? Why, I always called you Nick in my -heart, and though lost to sight, to memory dear. By Jove! my feelings -have ripened for you like fine old cognac. I hope youve got some in -the house now. Josh filled my flask well the last time. - -Mr. Bulstrode had not yet fully learned that even the desire for cognac -was not stronger in Raffles than the desire to torment, and that a hint -of annoyance always served him as a fresh cue. But it was at least -clear that further objection was useless, and Mr. Bulstrode, in giving -orders to the housekeeper for the accommodation of the guest, had a -resolute air of quietude. - -There was the comfort of thinking that this housekeeper had been in the -service of Rigg also, and might accept the idea that Mr. Bulstrode -entertained Raffles merely as a friend of her former master. - -When there was food and drink spread before his visitor in the -wainscoted parlor, and no witness in the room, Mr. Bulstrode said - -Your habits and mine are so different, Mr. Raffles, that we can hardly -enjoy each others society. The wisest plan for both of us will -therefore be to part as soon as possible. Since you say that you wished -to meet me, you probably considered that you had some business to -transact with me. But under the circumstances I will invite you to -remain here for the night, and I will myself ride over here early -to-morrow morningbefore breakfast, in factwhen I can receive any -communication you have to make to me. - -With all my heart, said Raffles; this is a comfortable placea -little dull for a continuance; but I can put up with it for a night, -with this good liquor and the prospect of seeing you again in the -morning. Youre a much better host than my stepson was; but Josh owed -me a bit of a grudge for marrying his mother; and between you and me -there was never anything but kindness. - -Mr. Bulstrode, hoping that the peculiar mixture of joviality and -sneering in Raffles manner was a good deal the effect of drink, had -determined to wait till he was quite sober before he spent more words -upon him. But he rode home with a terribly lucid vision of the -difficulty there would be in arranging any result that could be -permanently counted on with this man. It was inevitable that he should -wish to get rid of John Raffles, though his reappearance could not be -regarded as lying outside the divine plan. The spirit of evil might -have sent him to threaten Mr. Bulstrodes subversion as an instrument -of good; but the threat must have been permitted, and was a -chastisement of a new kind. It was an hour of anguish for him very -different from the hours in which his struggle had been securely -private, and which had ended with a sense that his secret misdeeds were -pardoned and his services accepted. Those misdeeds even when -committedhad they not been half sanctified by the singleness of his -desire to devote himself and all he possessed to the furtherance of the -divine scheme? And was he after all to become a mere stone of stumbling -and a rock of offence? For who would understand the work within him? -Who would not, when there was the pretext of casting disgrace upon him, -confound his whole life and the truths he had espoused, in one heap of -obloquy? - -In his closest meditations the life-long habit of Mr. Bulstrodes mind -clad his most egoistic terrors in doctrinal references to superhuman -ends. But even while we are talking and meditating about the earths -orbit and the solar system, what we feel and adjust our movements to is -the stable earth and the changing day. And now within all the automatic -succession of theoretic phrasesdistinct and inmost as the shiver and -the ache of oncoming fever when we are discussing abstract pain, was -the forecast of disgrace in the presence of his neighbors and of his -own wife. For the pain, as well as the public estimate of disgrace, -depends on the amount of previous profession. To men who only aim at -escaping felony, nothing short of the prisoners dock is disgrace. But -Mr. Bulstrode had aimed at being an eminent Christian. - -It was not more than half-past seven in the morning when he again -reached Stone Court. The fine old place never looked more like a -delightful home than at that moment; the great white lilies were in -flower, the nasturtiums, their pretty leaves all silvered with dew, -were running away over the low stone wall; the very noises all around -had a heart of peace within them. But everything was spoiled for the -owner as he walked on the gravel in front and awaited the descent of -Mr. Raffles, with whom he was condemned to breakfast. - -It was not long before they were seated together in the wainscoted -parlor over their tea and toast, which was as much as Raffles cared to -take at that early hour. The difference between his morning and evening -self was not so great as his companion had imagined that it might be; -the delight in tormenting was perhaps even the stronger because his -spirits were rather less highly pitched. Certainly his manners seemed -more disagreeable by the morning light. - -As I have little time to spare, Mr. Raffles, said the banker, who -could hardly do more than sip his tea and break his toast without -eating it, I shall be obliged if you will mention at once the ground -on which you wished to meet with me. I presume that you have a home -elsewhere and will be glad to return to it. - -Why, if a man has got any heart, doesnt he want to see an old friend, -Nick?I must call you Nickwe always did call you young Nick when we -knew you meant to marry the old widow. Some said you had a handsome -family likeness to old Nick, but that was your mothers fault, calling -you Nicholas. Arent you glad to see me again? I expected an invite to -stay with you at some pretty place. My own establishment is broken up -now my wifes dead. Ive no particular attachment to any spot; I would -as soon settle hereabout as anywhere. - -May I ask why you returned from America? I considered that the strong -wish you expressed to go there, when an adequate sum was furnished, was -tantamount to an engagement that you would remain there for life. - -Never knew that a wish to go to a place was the same thing as a wish -to stay. But I did stay a matter of ten years; it didnt suit me to -stay any longer. And Im not going again, Nick. Here Mr. Raffles -winked slowly as he looked at Mr. Bulstrode. - -Do you wish to be settled in any business? What is your calling now? - -Thank you, my calling is to enjoy myself as much as I can. I dont -care about working any more. If I did anything it would be a little -travelling in the tobacco lineor something of that sort, which takes a -man into agreeable company. But not without an independence to fall -back upon. Thats what I want: Im not so strong as I was, Nick, though -Ive got more color than you. I want an independence. - -That could be supplied to you, if you would engage to keep at a -distance, said Mr. Bulstrode, perhaps with a little too much eagerness -in his undertone. - -That must be as it suits my convenience, said Raffles coolly. I see -no reason why I shouldnt make a few acquaintances hereabout. Im not -ashamed of myself as company for anybody. I dropped my portmanteau at -the turnpike when I got downchange of linengenuinehonor brightmore -than fronts and wristbands; and with this suit of mourning, straps and -everything, I should do you credit among the nobs here. Mr. Raffles -had pushed away his chair and looked down at himself, particularly at -his straps. His chief intention was to annoy Bulstrode, but he really -thought that his appearance now would produce a good effect, and that -he was not only handsome and witty, but clad in a mourning style which -implied solid connections. - -If you intend to rely on me in any way, Mr. Raffles, said Bulstrode, -after a moments pause, you will expect to meet my wishes. - -Ah, to be sure, said Raffles, with a mocking cordiality. Didnt I -always do it? Lord, you made a pretty thing out of me, and I got but -little. Ive often thought since, I might have done better by telling -the old woman that Id found her daughter and her grandchild: it would -have suited my feelings better; Ive got a soft place in my heart. But -youve buried the old lady by this time, I supposeits all one to her -now. And youve got your fortune out of that profitable business which -had such a blessing on it. Youve taken to being a nob, buying land, -being a country bashaw. Still in the Dissenting line, eh? Still godly? -Or taken to the Church as more genteel? - -This time Mr. Raffles slow wink and slight protrusion of his tongue -was worse than a nightmare, because it held the certitude that it was -not a nightmare, but a waking misery. Mr. Bulstrode felt a shuddering -nausea, and did not speak, but was considering diligently whether he -should not leave Raffles to do as he would, and simply defy him as a -slanderer. The man would soon show himself disreputable enough to make -people disbelieve him. But not when he tells any ugly-looking truth -about _you_, said discerning consciousness. And again: it seemed no -wrong to keep Raffles at a distance, but Mr. Bulstrode shrank from the -direct falsehood of denying true statements. It was one thing to look -back on forgiven sins, nay, to explain questionable conformity to lax -customs, and another to enter deliberately on the necessity of -falsehood. - -But since Bulstrode did not speak, Raffles ran on, by way of using time -to the utmost. - -Ive not had such fine luck as you, by Jove! Things went confoundedly -with me in New York; those Yankees are cool hands, and a man of -gentlemanly feelings has no chance with them. I married when I came -backa nice woman in the tobacco tradevery fond of mebut the trade -was restricted, as we say. She had been settled there a good many years -by a friend; but there was a son too much in the case. Josh and I never -hit it off. However, I made the most of the position, and Ive always -taken my glass in good company. Its been all on the square with me; -Im as open as the day. You wont take it ill of me that I didnt look -you up before. Ive got a complaint that makes me a little dilatory. I -thought you were trading and praying away in London still, and didnt -find you there. But you see I was sent to you, Nickperhaps for a -blessing to both of us. - -Mr. Raffles ended with a jocose snuffle: no man felt his intellect more -superior to religious cant. And if the cunning which calculates on the -meanest feelings in men could be called intellect, he had his share, -for under the blurting rallying tone with which he spoke to Bulstrode, -there was an evident selection of statements, as if they had been so -many moves at chess. Meanwhile Bulstrode had determined on his move, -and he said, with gathered resolution - -You will do well to reflect, Mr. Raffles, that it is possible for a -man to overreach himself in the effort to secure undue advantage. -Although I am not in any way bound to you, I am willing to supply you -with a regular annuityin quarterly paymentsso long as you fulfil a -promise to remain at a distance from this neighborhood. It is in your -power to choose. If you insist on remaining here, even for a short -time, you will get nothing from me. I shall decline to know you. - -Ha, ha! said Raffles, with an affected explosion, that reminds me of -a droll dog of a thief who declined to know the constable. - -Your allusions are lost on me sir, said Bulstrode, with white heat; -the law has no hold on me either through your agency or any other. - -You cant understand a joke, my good fellow. I only meant that I -should never decline to know you. But let us be serious. Your quarterly -payment wont quite suit me. I like my freedom. - -Here Raffles rose and stalked once or twice up and down the room, -swinging his leg, and assuming an air of masterly meditation. At last -he stopped opposite Bulstrode, and said, Ill tell you what! Give us a -couple of hundredscome, thats modestand Ill go awayhonor -bright!pick up my portmanteau and go away. But I shall not give up my -liberty for a dirty annuity. I shall come and go where I like. Perhaps -it may suit me to stay away, and correspond with a friend; perhaps not. -Have you the money with you? - -No, I have one hundred, said Bulstrode, feeling the immediate -riddance too great a relief to be rejected on the ground of future -uncertainties. I will forward you the other if you will mention an -address. - -No, Ill wait here till you bring it, said Raffles. Ill take a -stroll and have a snack, and youll be back by that time. - -Mr. Bulstrodes sickly body, shattered by the agitations he had gone -through since the last evening, made him feel abjectly in the power of -this loud invulnerable man. At that moment he snatched at a temporary -repose to be won on any terms. He was rising to do what Raffles -suggested, when the latter said, lifting up his finger as if with a -sudden recollection - -I did have another look after Sarah again, though I didnt tell you; -Id a tender conscience about that pretty young woman. I didnt find -her, but I found out her husbands name, and I made a note of it. But -hang it, I lost my pocketbook. However, if I heard it, I should know it -again. Ive got my faculties as if I was in my prime, but names wear -out, by Jove! Sometimes Im no better than a confounded tax-paper -before the names are filled in. However, if I hear of her and her -family, you shall know, Nick. Youd like to do something for her, now -shes your step-daughter. - -Doubtless, said Mr. Bulstrode, with the usual steady look of his -light-gray eyes; though that might reduce my power of assisting you. - -As he walked out of the room, Raffles winked slowly at his back, and -then turned towards the window to watch the banker riding -awayvirtually at his command. His lips first curled with a smile and -then opened with a short triumphant laugh. - -But what the deuce was the name? he presently said, half aloud, -scratching his head, and wrinkling his brows horizontally. He had not -really cared or thought about this point of forgetfulness until it -occurred to him in his invention of annoyances for Bulstrode. - -It began with L; it was almost all ls I fancy, he went on, with a -sense that he was getting hold of the slippery name. But the hold was -too slight, and he soon got tired of this mental chase; for few men -were more impatient of private occupation or more in need of making -themselves continually heard than Mr. Raffles. He preferred using his -time in pleasant conversation with the bailiff and the housekeeper, -from whom he gathered as much as he wanted to know about Mr. -Bulstrodes position in Middlemarch. - -After all, however, there was a dull space of time which needed -relieving with bread and cheese and ale, and when he was seated alone -with these resources in the wainscoted parlor, he suddenly slapped his -knee, and exclaimed, Ladislaw! That action of memory which he had -tried to set going, and had abandoned in despair, had suddenly -completed itself without conscious efforta common experience, -agreeable as a completed sneeze, even if the name remembered is of no -value. Raffles immediately took out his pocket-book, and wrote down the -name, not because he expected to use it, but merely for the sake of not -being at a loss if he ever did happen to want it. He was not going to -tell Bulstrode: there was no actual good in telling, and to a mind like -that of Mr. Raffles there is always probable good in a secret. - -He was satisfied with his present success, and by three oclock that -day he had taken up his portmanteau at the turnpike and mounted the -coach, relieving Mr. Bulstrodes eyes of an ugly black spot on the -landscape at Stone Court, but not relieving him of the dread that the -black spot might reappear and become inseparable even from the vision -of his hearth. - - - - -BOOK VI. -THE WIDOW AND THE WIFE. - - - - -CHAPTER LIV. - -Negli occhi porta la mia donna Amore; -Per che si fa gentil ci chella mira: -Ovella passa, ogni uom ver lei si gira, -E cui saluta fa tremar lo core. - -Sicch, bassando il viso, tutto smore, -E dogni suo difetto allor sospira: -Fuggon dinanzi a lei Superbia ed Ira: -Aiutatemi, donne, a farle onore. - -Ogni dolcezza, ogni pensiero umile -Nasce nel core a chi parlar la sente; -Ond beato chi prima la vide. -Quel chella par quand un poco sorride, -Non si pu dicer, n tener a mente, -Si nuovo miracolo gentile. -DANTE: _La Vita Nuova_. - - -By that delightful morning when the hay-ricks at Stone Court were -scenting the air quite impartially, as if Mr. Raffles had been a guest -worthy of finest incense, Dorothea had again taken up her abode at -Lowick Manor. After three months Freshitt had become rather oppressive: -to sit like a model for Saint Catherine looking rapturously at Celias -baby would not do for many hours in the day, and to remain in that -momentous babes presence with persistent disregard was a course that -could not have been tolerated in a childless sister. Dorothea would -have been capable of carrying baby joyfully for a mile if there had -been need, and of loving it the more tenderly for that labor; but to an -aunt who does not recognize her infant nephew as Bouddha, and has -nothing to do for him but to admire, his behavior is apt to appear -monotonous, and the interest of watching him exhaustible. This -possibility was quite hidden from Celia, who felt that Dorotheas -childless widowhood fell in quite prettily with the birth of little -Arthur (baby was named after Mr. Brooke). - -Dodo is just the creature not to mind about having anything of her -ownchildren or anything! said Celia to her husband. And if she had -had a baby, it never could have been such a dear as Arthur. Could it, -James? - -Not if it had been like Casaubon, said Sir James, conscious of some -indirectness in his answer, and of holding a strictly private opinion -as to the perfections of his first-born. - -No! just imagine! Really it was a mercy, said Celia; and I think it -is very nice for Dodo to be a widow. She can be just as fond of our -baby as if it were her own, and she can have as many notions of her own -as she likes. - -It is a pity she was not a queen, said the devout Sir James. - -But what should we have been then? We must have been something else, -said Celia, objecting to so laborious a flight of imagination. I like -her better as she is. - -Hence, when she found that Dorothea was making arrangements for her -final departure to Lowick, Celia raised her eyebrows with -disappointment, and in her quiet unemphatic way shot a needle-arrow of -sarcasm. - -What will you do at Lowick, Dodo? You say yourself there is nothing to -be done there: everybody is so clean and well off, it makes you quite -melancholy. And here you have been so happy going all about Tipton with -Mr. Garth into the worst backyards. And now uncle is abroad, you and -Mr. Garth can have it all your own way; and I am sure James does -everything you tell him. - -I shall often come here, and I shall see how baby grows all the -better, said Dorothea. - -But you will never see him washed, said Celia; and that is quite the -best part of the day. She was almost pouting: it did seem to her very -hard in Dodo to go away from the baby when she might stay. - -Dear Kitty, I will come and stay all night on purpose, said Dorothea; -but I want to be alone now, and in my own home. I wish to know the -Farebrothers better, and to talk to Mr. Farebrother about what there is -to be done in Middlemarch. - -Dorotheas native strength of will was no longer all converted into -resolute submission. She had a great yearning to be at Lowick, and was -simply determined to go, not feeling bound to tell all her reasons. But -every one around her disapproved. Sir James was much pained, and -offered that they should all migrate to Cheltenham for a few months -with the sacred ark, otherwise called a cradle: at that period a man -could hardly know what to propose if Cheltenham were rejected. - -The Dowager Lady Chettam, just returned from a visit to her daughter in -town, wished, at least, that Mrs. Vigo should be written to, and -invited to accept the office of companion to Mrs. Casaubon: it was not -credible that Dorothea as a young widow would think of living alone in -the house at Lowick. Mrs. Vigo had been reader and secretary to royal -personages, and in point of knowledge and sentiments even Dorothea -could have nothing to object to her. - -Mrs. Cadwallader said, privately, You will certainly go mad in that -house alone, my dear. You will see visions. We have all got to exert -ourselves a little to keep sane, and call things by the same names as -other people call them by. To be sure, for younger sons and women who -have no money, it is a sort of provision to go mad: they are taken care -of then. But you must not run into that. I dare say you are a little -bored here with our good dowager; but think what a bore you might -become yourself to your fellow-creatures if you were always playing -tragedy queen and taking things sublimely. Sitting alone in that -library at Lowick you may fancy yourself ruling the weather; you must -get a few people round you who wouldnt believe you if you told them. -That is a good lowering medicine. - -I never called everything by the same name that all the people about -me did, said Dorothea, stoutly. - -But I suppose you have found out your mistake, my dear, said Mrs. -Cadwallader, and that is a proof of sanity. - -Dorothea was aware of the sting, but it did not hurt her. No, she -said, I still think that the greater part of the world is mistaken -about many things. Surely one may be sane and yet think so, since the -greater part of the world has often had to come round from its -opinion. - -Mrs. Cadwallader said no more on that point to Dorothea, but to her -husband she remarked, It will be well for her to marry again as soon -as it is proper, if one could get her among the right people. Of course -the Chettams would not wish it. But I see clearly a husband is the best -thing to keep her in order. If we were not so poor I would invite Lord -Triton. He will be marquis some day, and there is no denying that she -would make a good marchioness: she looks handsomer than ever in her -mourning. - -My dear Elinor, do let the poor woman alone. Such contrivances are of -no use, said the easy Rector. - -No use? How are matches made, except by bringing men and women -together? And it is a shame that her uncle should have run away and -shut up the Grange just now. There ought to be plenty of eligible -matches invited to Freshitt and the Grange. Lord Triton is precisely -the man: full of plans for making the people happy in a soft-headed -sort of way. That would just suit Mrs. Casaubon. - -Let Mrs. Casaubon choose for herself, Elinor. - -That is the nonsense you wise men talk! How can she choose if she has -no variety to choose from? A womans choice usually means taking the -only man she can get. Mark my words, Humphrey. If her friends dont -exert themselves, there will be a worse business than the Casaubon -business yet. - -For heavens sake dont touch on that topic, Elinor! It is a very sore -point with Sir James. He would be deeply offended if you entered on it -to him unnecessarily. - -I have never entered on it, said Mrs Cadwallader, opening her hands. -Celia told me all about the will at the beginning, without any asking -of mine. - -Yes, yes; but they want the thing hushed up, and I understand that the -young fellow is going out of the neighborhood. - -Mrs. Cadwallader said nothing, but gave her husband three significant -nods, with a very sarcastic expression in her dark eyes. - -Dorothea quietly persisted in spite of remonstrance and persuasion. So -by the end of June the shutters were all opened at Lowick Manor, and -the morning gazed calmly into the library, shining on the rows of -note-books as it shines on the weary waste planted with huge stones, -the mute memorial of a forgotten faith; and the evening laden with -roses entered silently into the blue-green boudoir where Dorothea chose -oftenest to sit. At first she walked into every room, questioning the -eighteen months of her married life, and carrying on her thoughts as if -they were a speech to be heard by her husband. Then, she lingered in -the library and could not be at rest till she had carefully ranged all -the note-books as she imagined that he would wish to see them, in -orderly sequence. The pity which had been the restraining compelling -motive in her life with him still clung about his image, even while she -remonstrated with him in indignant thought and told him that he was -unjust. One little act of hers may perhaps be smiled at as -superstitious. The Synoptical Tabulation for the use of Mrs. Casaubon, -she carefully enclosed and sealed, writing within the envelope, I -could not use it. Do you not see now that I could not submit my soul to -yours, by working hopelessly at what I have no belief inDorothea? -Then she deposited the paper in her own desk. - -That silent colloquy was perhaps only the more earnest because -underneath and through it all there was always the deep longing which -had really determined her to come to Lowick. The longing was to see -Will Ladislaw. She did not know any good that could come of their -meeting: she was helpless; her hands had been tied from making up to -him for any unfairness in his lot. But her soul thirsted to see him. -How could it be otherwise? If a princess in the days of enchantment had -seen a four-footed creature from among those which live in herds come -to her once and again with a human gaze which rested upon her with -choice and beseeching, what would she think of in her journeying, what -would she look for when the herds passed her? Surely for the gaze which -had found her, and which she would know again. Life would be no better -than candle-light tinsel and daylight rubbish if our spirits were not -touched by what has been, to issues of longing and constancy. It was -true that Dorothea wanted to know the Farebrothers better, and -especially to talk to the new rector, but also true that remembering -what Lydgate had told her about Will Ladislaw and little Miss Noble, -she counted on Wills coming to Lowick to see the Farebrother family. -The very first Sunday, _before_ she entered the church, she saw him as -she had seen him the last time she was there, alone in the clergymans -pew; but _when_ she entered his figure was gone. - -In the week-days when she went to see the ladies at the Rectory, she -listened in vain for some word that they might let fall about Will; but -it seemed to her that Mrs. Farebrother talked of every one else in the -neighborhood and out of it. - -Probably some of Mr. Farebrothers Middlemarch hearers may follow him -to Lowick sometimes. Do you not think so? said Dorothea, rather -despising herself for having a secret motive in asking the question. - -If they are wise they will, Mrs. Casaubon, said the old lady. I see -that you set a right value on my sons preaching. His grandfather on my -side was an excellent clergyman, but his father was in the law:most -exemplary and honest nevertheless, which is a reason for our never -being rich. They say Fortune is a woman and capricious. But sometimes -she is a good woman and gives to those who merit, which has been the -case with you, Mrs. Casaubon, who have given a living to my son. - -Mrs. Farebrother recurred to her knitting with a dignified satisfaction -in her neat little effort at oratory, but this was not what Dorothea -wanted to hear. Poor thing! she did not even know whether Will Ladislaw -was still at Middlemarch, and there was no one whom she dared to ask, -unless it were Lydgate. But just now she could not see Lydgate without -sending for him or going to seek him. Perhaps Will Ladislaw, having -heard of that strange ban against him left by Mr. Casaubon, had felt it -better that he and she should not meet again, and perhaps she was wrong -to wish for a meeting that others might find many good reasons against. -Still I do wish it came at the end of those wise reflections as -naturally as a sob after holding the breath. And the meeting did -happen, but in a formal way quite unexpected by her. - -One morning, about eleven, Dorothea was seated in her boudoir with a -map of the land attached to the manor and other papers before her, -which were to help her in making an exact statement for herself of her -income and affairs. She had not yet applied herself to her work, but -was seated with her hands folded on her lap, looking out along the -avenue of limes to the distant fields. Every leaf was at rest in the -sunshine, the familiar scene was changeless, and seemed to represent -the prospect of her life, full of motiveless easemotiveless, if her -own energy could not seek out reasons for ardent action. The widows -cap of those times made an oval frame for the face, and had a crown -standing up; the dress was an experiment in the utmost laying on of -crape; but this heavy solemnity of clothing made her face look all the -younger, with its recovered bloom, and the sweet, inquiring candor of -her eyes. - -Her reverie was broken by Tantripp, who came to say that Mr. Ladislaw -was below, and begged permission to see Madam if it were not too early. - -I will see him, said Dorothea, rising immediately. Let him be shown -into the drawing-room. - -The drawing-room was the most neutral room in the house to herthe one -least associated with the trials of her married life: the damask -matched the wood-work, which was all white and gold; there were two -tall mirrors and tables with nothing on themin brief, it was a room -where you had no reason for sitting in one place rather than in -another. It was below the boudoir, and had also a bow-window looking -out on the avenue. But when Pratt showed Will Ladislaw into it the -window was open; and a winged visitor, buzzing in and out now and then -without minding the furniture, made the room look less formal and -uninhabited. - -Glad to see you here again, sir, said Pratt, lingering to adjust a -blind. - -I am only come to say good-by, Pratt, said Will, who wished even the -butler to know that he was too proud to hang about Mrs. Casaubon now -she was a rich widow. - -Very sorry to hear it, sir, said Pratt, retiring. Of course, as a -servant who was to be told nothing, he knew the fact of which Ladislaw -was still ignorant, and had drawn his inferences; indeed, had not -differed from his betrothed Tantripp when she said, Your master was as -jealous as a fiendand no reason. Madam would look higher than Mr. -Ladislaw, else I dont know her. Mrs. Cadwalladers maid says theres a -lord coming who is to marry her when the mournings over. - -There were not many moments for Will to walk about with his hat in his -hand before Dorothea entered. The meeting was very different from that -first meeting in Rome when Will had been embarrassed and Dorothea calm. -This time he felt miserable but determined, while she was in a state of -agitation which could not be hidden. Just outside the door she had felt -that this longed-for meeting was after all too difficult, and when she -saw Will advancing towards her, the deep blush which was rare in her -came with painful suddenness. Neither of them knew how it was, but -neither of them spoke. She gave her hand for a moment, and then they -went to sit down near the window, she on one settee and he on another -opposite. Will was peculiarly uneasy: it seemed to him not like -Dorothea that the mere fact of her being a widow should cause such a -change in her manner of receiving him; and he knew of no other -condition which could have affected their previous relation to each -otherexcept that, as his imagination at once told him, her friends -might have been poisoning her mind with their suspicions of him. - -I hope I have not presumed too much in calling, said Will; I could -not bear to leave the neighborhood and begin a new life without seeing -you to say good-by. - -Presumed? Surely not. I should have thought it unkind if you had not -wished to see me, said Dorothea, her habit of speaking with perfect -genuineness asserting itself through all her uncertainty and agitation. -Are you going away immediately? - -Very soon, I think. I intend to go to town and eat my dinners as a -barrister, since, they say, that is the preparation for all public -business. There will be a great deal of political work to be done -by-and-by, and I mean to try and do some of it. Other men have managed -to win an honorable position for themselves without family or money. - -And that will make it all the more honorable, said Dorothea, -ardently. Besides, you have so many talents. I have heard from my -uncle how well you speak in public, so that every one is sorry when you -leave off, and how clearly you can explain things. And you care that -justice should be done to every one. I am so glad. When we were in -Rome, I thought you only cared for poetry and art, and the things that -adorn life for us who are well off. But now I know you think about the -rest of the world. - -While she was speaking Dorothea had lost her personal embarrassment, -and had become like her former self. She looked at Will with a direct -glance, full of delighted confidence. - -You approve of my going away for years, then, and never coming here -again till I have made myself of some mark in the world? said Will, -trying hard to reconcile the utmost pride with the utmost effort to get -an expression of strong feeling from Dorothea. - -She was not aware how long it was before she answered. She had turned -her head and was looking out of the window on the rose-bushes, which -seemed to have in them the summers of all the years when Will would be -away. This was not judicious behavior. But Dorothea never thought of -studying her manners: she thought only of bowing to a sad necessity -which divided her from Will. Those first words of his about his -intentions had seemed to make everything clear to her: he knew, she -supposed, all about Mr. Casaubons final conduct in relation to him, -and it had come to him with the same sort of shock as to herself. He -had never felt more than friendship for herhad never had anything in -his mind to justify what she felt to be her husbands outrage on the -feelings of both: and that friendship he still felt. Something which -may be called an inward silent sob had gone on in Dorothea before she -said with a pure voice, just trembling in the last words as if only -from its liquid flexibility - -Yes, it must be right for you to do as you say. I shall be very happy -when I hear that you have made your value felt. But you must have -patience. It will perhaps be a long while. - -Will never quite knew how it was that he saved himself from falling -down at her feet, when the long while came forth with its gentle -tremor. He used to say that the horrible hue and surface of her crape -dress was most likely the sufficient controlling force. He sat still, -however, and only said - -I shall never hear from you. And you will forget all about me. - -No, said Dorothea, I shall never forget you. I have never forgotten -any one whom I once knew. My life has never been crowded, and seems not -likely to be so. And I have a great deal of space for memory at Lowick, -havent I? She smiled. - -Good God! Will burst out passionately, rising, with his hat still in -his hand, and walking away to a marble table, where he suddenly turned -and leaned his back against it. The blood had mounted to his face and -neck, and he looked almost angry. It had seemed to him as if they were -like two creatures slowly turning to marble in each others presence, -while their hearts were conscious and their eyes were yearning. But -there was no help for it. It should never be true of him that in this -meeting to which he had come with bitter resolution he had ended by a -confession which might be interpreted into asking for her fortune. -Moreover, it was actually true that he was fearful of the effect which -such confessions might have on Dorothea herself. - -She looked at him from that distance in some trouble, imagining that -there might have been an offence in her words. But all the while there -was a current of thought in her about his probable want of money, and -the impossibility of her helping him. If her uncle had been at home, -something might have been done through him! It was this preoccupation -with the hardship of Wills wanting money, while she had what ought to -have been his share, which led her to say, seeing that he remained -silent and looked away from her - -I wonder whether you would like to have that miniature which hangs -up-stairsI mean that beautiful miniature of your grandmother. I think -it is not right for me to keep it, if you would wish to have it. It is -wonderfully like you. - -You are very good, said Will, irritably. No; I dont mind about it. -It is not very consoling to have ones own likeness. It would be more -consoling if others wanted to have it. - -I thought you would like to cherish her memoryI thought Dorothea -broke off an instant, her imagination suddenly warning her away from -Aunt Julias historyyou would surely like to have the miniature as a -family memorial. - -Why should I have that, when I have nothing else! A man with only a -portmanteau for his stowage must keep his memorials in his head. - -Will spoke at random: he was merely venting his petulance; it was a -little too exasperating to have his grandmothers portrait offered him -at that moment. But to Dorotheas feeling his words had a peculiar -sting. She rose and said with a touch of indignation as well as -hauteur - -You are much the happier of us two, Mr. Ladislaw, to have nothing. - -Will was startled. Whatever the words might be, the tone seemed like a -dismissal; and quitting his leaning posture, he walked a little way -towards her. Their eyes met, but with a strange questioning gravity. -Something was keeping their minds aloof, and each was left to -conjecture what was in the other. Will had really never thought of -himself as having a claim of inheritance on the property which was held -by Dorothea, and would have required a narrative to make him understand -her present feeling. - -I never felt it a misfortune to have nothing till now, he said. But -poverty may be as bad as leprosy, if it divides us from what we most -care for. - -The words cut Dorothea to the heart, and made her relent. She answered -in a tone of sad fellowship. - -Sorrow comes in so many ways. Two years ago I had no notion of thatI -mean of the unexpected way in which trouble comes, and ties our hands, -and makes us silent when we long to speak. I used to despise women a -little for not shaping their lives more, and doing better things. I was -very fond of doing as I liked, but I have almost given it up, she -ended, smiling playfully. - -I have not given up doing as I like, but I can very seldom do it, -said Will. He was standing two yards from her with his mind full of -contradictory desires and resolvesdesiring some unmistakable proof -that she loved him, and yet dreading the position into which such a -proof might bring him. The thing one most longs for may be surrounded -with conditions that would be intolerable. - -At this moment Pratt entered and said, Sir James Chettam is in the -library, madam. - -Ask Sir James to come in here, said Dorothea, immediately. It was as -if the same electric shock had passed through her and Will. Each of -them felt proudly resistant, and neither looked at the other, while -they awaited Sir Jamess entrance. - -After shaking hands with Dorothea, he bowed as slightly as possible to -Ladislaw, who repaid the slightness exactly, and then going towards -Dorothea, said - -I must say good-by, Mrs. Casaubon; and probably for a long while. - -Dorothea put out her hand and said her good-by cordially. The sense -that Sir James was depreciating Will, and behaving rudely to him, -roused her resolution and dignity: there was no touch of confusion in -her manner. And when Will had left the room, she looked with such calm -self-possession at Sir James, saying, How is Celia? that he was -obliged to behave as if nothing had annoyed him. And what would be the -use of behaving otherwise? Indeed, Sir James shrank with so much -dislike from the association even in thought of Dorothea with Ladislaw -as her possible lover, that he would himself have wished to avoid an -outward show of displeasure which would have recognized the -disagreeable possibility. If any one had asked him why he shrank in -that way, I am not sure that he would at first have said anything -fuller or more precise than _That_ Ladislaw!though on reflection he -might have urged that Mr. Casaubons codicil, barring Dorotheas -marriage with Will, except under a penalty, was enough to cast -unfitness over any relation at all between them. His aversion was all -the stronger because he felt himself unable to interfere. - -But Sir James was a power in a way unguessed by himself. Entering at -that moment, he was an incorporation of the strongest reasons through -which Wills pride became a repellent force, keeping him asunder from -Dorothea. - - - - -CHAPTER LV. - -Hath she her faults? I would you had them too. -They are the fruity must of soundest wine; -Or say, they are regenerating fire -Such as hath turned the dense black element -Into a crystal pathway for the sun. - - -If youth is the season of hope, it is often so only in the sense that -our elders are hopeful about us; for no age is so apt as youth to think -its emotions, partings, and resolves are the last of their kind. Each -crisis seems final, simply because it is new. We are told that the -oldest inhabitants in Peru do not cease to be agitated by the -earthquakes, but they probably see beyond each shock, and reflect that -there are plenty more to come. - -To Dorothea, still in that time of youth when the eyes with their long -full lashes look out after their rain of tears unsoiled and unwearied -as a freshly opened passion-flower, that mornings parting with Will -Ladislaw seemed to be the close of their personal relations. He was -going away into the distance of unknown years, and if ever he came back -he would be another man. The actual state of his mindhis proud resolve -to give the lie beforehand to any suspicion that he would play the -needy adventurer seeking a rich womanlay quite out of her imagination, -and she had interpreted all his behavior easily enough by her -supposition that Mr. Casaubons codicil seemed to him, as it did to -her, a gross and cruel interdict on any active friendship between them. -Their young delight in speaking to each other, and saying what no one -else would care to hear, was forever ended, and become a treasure of -the past. For this very reason she dwelt on it without inward check. -That unique happiness too was dead, and in its shadowed silent chamber -she might vent the passionate grief which she herself wondered at. For -the first time she took down the miniature from the wall and kept it -before her, liking to blend the woman who had been too hardly judged -with the grandson whom her own heart and judgment defended. Can any one -who has rejoiced in womans tenderness think it a reproach to her that -she took the little oval picture in her palm and made a bed for it -there, and leaned her cheek upon it, as if that would soothe the -creatures who had suffered unjust condemnation? She did not know then -that it was Love who had come to her briefly, as in a dream before -awaking, with the hues of morning on his wingsthat it was Love to whom -she was sobbing her farewell as his image was banished by the blameless -rigor of irresistible day. She only felt that there was something -irrevocably amiss and lost in her lot, and her thoughts about the -future were the more readily shapen into resolve. Ardent souls, ready -to construct their coming lives, are apt to commit themselves to the -fulfilment of their own visions. - -One day that she went to Freshitt to fulfil her promise of staying all -night and seeing baby washed, Mrs. Cadwallader came to dine, the Rector -being gone on a fishing excursion. It was a warm evening, and even in -the delightful drawing-room, where the fine old turf sloped from the -open window towards a lilied pool and well-planted mounds, the heat was -enough to make Celia in her white muslin and light curls reflect with -pity on what Dodo must feel in her black dress and close cap. But this -was not until some episodes with baby were over, and had left her mind -at leisure. She had seated herself and taken up a fan for some time -before she said, in her quiet guttural - -Dear Dodo, do throw off that cap. I am sure your dress must make you -feel ill. - -I am so used to the capit has become a sort of shell, said Dorothea, -smiling. I feel rather bare and exposed when it is off. - -I must see you without it; it makes us all warm, said Celia, throwing -down her fan, and going to Dorothea. It was a pretty picture to see -this little lady in white muslin unfastening the widows cap from her -more majestic sister, and tossing it on to a chair. Just as the coils -and braids of dark-brown hair had been set free, Sir James entered the -room. He looked at the released head, and said, Ah! in a tone of -satisfaction. - -It was I who did it, James, said Celia. Dodo need not make such a -slavery of her mourning; she need not wear that cap any more among her -friends. - -My dear Celia, said Lady Chettam, a widow must wear her mourning at -least a year. - -Not if she marries again before the end of it, said Mrs. Cadwallader, -who had some pleasure in startling her good friend the Dowager. Sir -James was annoyed, and leaned forward to play with Celias Maltese dog. - -That is very rare, I hope, said Lady Chettam, in a tone intended to -guard against such events. No friend of ours ever committed herself in -that way except Mrs. Beevor, and it was very painful to Lord Grinsell -when she did so. Her first husband was objectionable, which made it the -greater wonder. And severely she was punished for it. They said Captain -Beevor dragged her about by the hair, and held up loaded pistols at -her. - -Oh, if she took the wrong man! said Mrs. Cadwallader, who was in a -decidedly wicked mood. Marriage is always bad then, first or second. -Priority is a poor recommendation in a husband if he has got no other. -I would rather have a good second husband than an indifferent first. - -My dear, your clever tongue runs away with you, said Lady Chettam. I -am sure you would be the last woman to marry again prematurely, if our -dear Rector were taken away. - -Oh, I make no vows; it might be a necessary economy. It is lawful to -marry again, I suppose; else we might as well be Hindoos instead of -Christians. Of course if a woman accepts the wrong man, she must take -the consequences, and one who does it twice over deserves her fate. But -if she can marry blood, beauty, and braverythe sooner the better. - -I think the subject of our conversation is very ill-chosen, said Sir -James, with a look of disgust. Suppose we change it. - -Not on my account, Sir James, said Dorothea, determined not to lose -the opportunity of freeing herself from certain oblique references to -excellent matches. If you are speaking on my behalf, I can assure you -that no question can be more indifferent and impersonal to me than -second marriage. It is no more to me than if you talked of women going -fox-hunting: whether it is admirable in them or not, I shall not follow -them. Pray let Mrs. Cadwallader amuse herself on that subject as much -as on any other. - -My dear Mrs. Casaubon, said Lady Chettam, in her stateliest way, you -do not, I hope, think there was any allusion to you in my mentioning -Mrs. Beevor. It was only an instance that occurred to me. She was -step-daughter to Lord Grinsell: he married Mrs. Teveroy for his second -wife. There could be no possible allusion to you. - -Oh no, said Celia. Nobody chose the subject; it all came out of -Dodos cap. Mrs. Cadwallader only said what was quite true. A woman -could not be married in a widows cap, James. - -Hush, my dear! said Mrs. Cadwallader. I will not offend again. I -will not even refer to Dido or Zenobia. Only what are we to talk about? -I, for my part, object to the discussion of Human Nature, because that -is the nature of rectors wives. - -Later in the evening, after Mrs. Cadwallader was gone, Celia said -privately to Dorothea, Really, Dodo, taking your cap off made you like -yourself again in more ways than one. You spoke up just as you used to -do, when anything was said to displease you. But I could hardly make -out whether it was James that you thought wrong, or Mrs. Cadwallader. - -Neither, said Dorothea. James spoke out of delicacy to me, but he -was mistaken in supposing that I minded what Mrs. Cadwallader said. I -should only mind if there were a law obliging me to take any piece of -blood and beauty that she or anybody else recommended. - -But you know, Dodo, if you ever did marry, it would be all the better -to have blood and beauty, said Celia, reflecting that Mr. Casaubon had -not been richly endowed with those gifts, and that it would be well to -caution Dorothea in time. - -Dont be anxious, Kitty; I have quite other thoughts about my life. I -shall never marry again, said Dorothea, touching her sisters chin, -and looking at her with indulgent affection. Celia was nursing her -baby, and Dorothea had come to say good-night to her. - -Reallyquite? said Celia. Not anybody at allif he were very -wonderful indeed? - -Dorothea shook her head slowly. Not anybody at all. I have delightful -plans. I should like to take a great deal of land, and drain it, and -make a little colony, where everybody should work, and all the work -should be done well. I should know every one of the people and be their -friend. I am going to have great consultations with Mr. Garth: he can -tell me almost everything I want to know. - -Then you _will_ be happy, if you have a plan, Dodo? said Celia. -Perhaps little Arthur will like plans when he grows up, and then he -can help you. - -Sir James was informed that same night that Dorothea was really quite -set against marrying anybody at all, and was going to take to all -sorts of plans, just like what she used to have. Sir James made no -remark. To his secret feeling there was something repulsive in a -womans second marriage, and no match would prevent him from feeling it -a sort of desecration for Dorothea. He was aware that the world would -regard such a sentiment as preposterous, especially in relation to a -woman of one-and-twenty; the practice of the world being to treat of -a young widows second marriage as certain and probably near, and to -smile with meaning if the widow acts accordingly. But if Dorothea did -choose to espouse her solitude, he felt that the resolution would well -become her. - - - - -CHAPTER LVI. - -How happy is he born and taught -That serveth not anothers will; -Whose armor is his honest thought, -And simple truth his only skill! -. . . . . . . -This man is freed from servile bands -Of hope to rise or fear to fall; -Lord of himself though not of lands; -And having nothing yet hath all. -SIR HENRY WOTTON. - - -Dorotheas confidence in Caleb Garths knowledge, which had begun on -her hearing that he approved of her cottages, had grown fast during her -stay at Freshitt, Sir James having induced her to take rides over the -two estates in company with himself and Caleb, who quite returned her -admiration, and told his wife that Mrs. Casaubon had a head for -business most uncommon in a woman. It must be remembered that by -business Caleb never meant money transactions, but the skilful -application of labor. - -Most uncommon! repeated Caleb. She said a thing I often used to -think myself when I was a lad:Mr. Garth, I should like to feel, if I -lived to be old, that I had improved a great piece of land and built a -great many good cottages, because the work is of a healthy kind while -it is being done, and after it is done, men are the better for it. -Those were the very words: she sees into things in that way. - -But womanly, I hope, said Mrs. Garth, half suspecting that Mrs. -Casaubon might not hold the true principle of subordination. - -Oh, you cant think! said Caleb, shaking his head. You would like to -hear her speak, Susan. She speaks in such plain words, and a voice like -music. Bless me! it reminds me of bits in the Messiahand -straightway there appeared a multitude of the heavenly host, praising -God and saying; it has a tone with it that satisfies your ear. - -Caleb was very fond of music, and when he could afford it went to hear -an oratorio that came within his reach, returning from it with a -profound reverence for this mighty structure of tones, which made him -sit meditatively, looking on the floor and throwing much unutterable -language into his outstretched hands. - -With this good understanding between them, it was natural that Dorothea -asked Mr. Garth to undertake any business connected with the three -farms and the numerous tenements attached to Lowick Manor; indeed, his -expectation of getting work for two was being fast fulfilled. As he -said, Business breeds. And one form of business which was beginning -to breed just then was the construction of railways. A projected line -was to run through Lowick parish where the cattle had hitherto grazed -in a peace unbroken by astonishment; and thus it happened that the -infant struggles of the railway system entered into the affairs of -Caleb Garth, and determined the course of this history with regard to -two persons who were dear to him. The submarine railway may have its -difficulties; but the bed of the sea is not divided among various -landed proprietors with claims for damages not only measurable but -sentimental. In the hundred to which Middlemarch belonged railways were -as exciting a topic as the Reform Bill or the imminent horrors of -Cholera, and those who held the most decided views on the subject were -women and landholders. Women both old and young regarded travelling by -steam as presumptuous and dangerous, and argued against it by saying -that nothing should induce them to get into a railway carriage; while -proprietors, differing from each other in their arguments as much as -Mr. Solomon Featherstone differed from Lord Medlicote, were yet -unanimous in the opinion that in selling land, whether to the Enemy of -mankind or to a company obliged to purchase, these pernicious agencies -must be made to pay a very high price to landowners for permission to -injure mankind. - -But the slower wits, such as Mr. Solomon and Mrs. Waule, who both -occupied land of their own, took a long time to arrive at this -conclusion, their minds halting at the vivid conception of what it -would be to cut the Big Pasture in two, and turn it into three-cornered -bits, which would be nohow; while accommodation-bridges and high -payments were remote and incredible. - -The cows will all cast their calves, brother, said Mrs. Waule, in a -tone of deep melancholy, if the railway comes across the Near Close; -and I shouldnt wonder at the mare too, if she was in foal. Its a poor -tale if a widows property is to be spaded away, and the law say -nothing to it. Whats to hinder em from cutting right and left if they -begin? Its well known, _I_ cant fight. - -The best way would be to say nothing, and set somebody on to send em -away with a flea in their ear, when they came spying and measuring, -said Solomon. Folks did that about Brassing, by what I can understand. -Its all a pretence, if the truth was known, about their being forced -to take one way. Let em go cutting in another parish. And I dont -believe in any pay to make amends for bringing a lot of ruffians to -trample your crops. Wheres a companys pocket? - -Brother Peter, God forgive him, got money out of a company, said Mrs. -Waule. But that was for the manganese. That wasnt for railways to -blow you to pieces right and left. - -Well, theres this to be said, Jane, Mr. Solomon concluded, lowering -his voice in a cautious mannerthe more spokes we put in their wheel, -the more theyll pay us to let em go on, if they must come whether or -not. - -This reasoning of Mr. Solomons was perhaps less thorough than he -imagined, his cunning bearing about the same relation to the course of -railways as the cunning of a diplomatist bears to the general chill or -catarrh of the solar system. But he set about acting on his views in a -thoroughly diplomatic manner, by stimulating suspicion. His side of -Lowick was the most remote from the village, and the houses of the -laboring people were either lone cottages or were collected in a hamlet -called Frick, where a water-mill and some stone-pits made a little -centre of slow, heavy-shouldered industry. - -In the absence of any precise idea as to what railways were, public -opinion in Frick was against them; for the human mind in that grassy -corner had not the proverbial tendency to admire the unknown, holding -rather that it was likely to be against the poor man, and that -suspicion was the only wise attitude with regard to it. Even the rumor -of Reform had not yet excited any millennial expectations in Frick, -there being no definite promise in it, as of gratuitous grains to -fatten Hiram Fords pig, or of a publican at the Weights and Scales -who would brew beer for nothing, or of an offer on the part of the -three neighboring farmers to raise wages during winter. And without -distinct good of this kind in its promises, Reform seemed on a footing -with the bragging of pedlers, which was a hint for distrust to every -knowing person. The men of Frick were not ill-fed, and were less given -to fanaticism than to a strong muscular suspicion; less inclined to -believe that they were peculiarly cared for by heaven, than to regard -heaven itself as rather disposed to take them ina disposition -observable in the weather. - -Thus the mind of Frick was exactly of the sort for Mr. Solomon -Featherstone to work upon, he having more plenteous ideas of the same -order, with a suspicion of heaven and earth which was better fed and -more entirely at leisure. Solomon was overseer of the roads at that -time, and on his slow-paced cob often took his rounds by Frick to look -at the workmen getting the stones there, pausing with a mysterious -deliberation, which might have misled you into supposing that he had -some other reason for staying than the mere want of impulse to move. -After looking for a long while at any work that was going on, he would -raise his eyes a little and look at the horizon; finally he would shake -his bridle, touch his horse with the whip, and get it to move slowly -onward. The hour-hand of a clock was quick by comparison with Mr. -Solomon, who had an agreeable sense that he could afford to be slow. He -was in the habit of pausing for a cautious, vaguely designing chat with -every hedger or ditcher on his way, and was especially willing to -listen even to news which he had heard before, feeling himself at an -advantage over all narrators in partially disbelieving them. One day, -however, he got into a dialogue with Hiram Ford, a wagoner, in which he -himself contributed information. He wished to know whether Hiram had -seen fellows with staves and instruments spying about: they called -themselves railroad people, but there was no telling what they were or -what they meant to do. The least they pretended was that they were -going to cut Lowick Parish into sixes and sevens. - -Why, therell be no stirrin from one pla-ace to another, said Hiram, -thinking of his wagon and horses. - -Not a bit, said Mr. Solomon. And cutting up fine land such as this -parish! Let em go into Tipton, say I. But theres no knowing what -there is at the bottom of it. Traffic is what they put forard; but -its to do harm to the land and the poor man in the long-run. - -Why, theyre Lunnon chaps, I reckon, said Hiram, who had a dim notion -of London as a centre of hostility to the country. - -Ay, to be sure. And in some parts against Brassing, by what Ive heard -say, the folks fell on em when they were spying, and broke their -peep-holes as they carry, and drove em away, so as they knew better -than come again. - -It war good foon, Id be bound, said Hiram, whose fun was much -restricted by circumstances. - -Well, I wouldnt meddle with em myself, said Solomon. But some say -this countrys seen its best days, and the sign is, as its being -overrun with these fellows trampling right and left, and wanting to cut -it up into railways; and all for the big traffic to swallow up the -little, so as there shant be a team left on the land, nor a whip to -crack. - -Ill crack _my_ whip about their earn, afore they bring it to that, -though, said Hiram, while Mr. Solomon, shaking his bridle, moved -onward. - -Nettle-seed needs no digging. The ruin of this countryside by railroads -was discussed, not only at the Weights and Scales, but in the -hay-field, where the muster of working hands gave opportunities for -talk such as were rarely had through the rural year. - -One morning, not long after that interview between Mr. Farebrother and -Mary Garth, in which she confessed to him her feeling for Fred Vincy, -it happened that her father had some business which took him to -Yoddrells farm in the direction of Frick: it was to measure and value -an outlying piece of land belonging to Lowick Manor, which Caleb -expected to dispose of advantageously for Dorothea (it must be -confessed that his bias was towards getting the best possible terms -from railroad companies). He put up his gig at Yoddrells, and in -walking with his assistant and measuring-chain to the scene of his -work, he encountered the party of the companys agents, who were -adjusting their spirit-level. After a little chat he left them, -observing that by-and-by they would reach him again where he was going -to measure. It was one of those gray mornings after light rains, which -become delicious about twelve oclock, when the clouds part a little, -and the scent of the earth is sweet along the lanes and by the -hedgerows. - -The scent would have been sweeter to Fred Vincy, who was coming along -the lanes on horseback, if his mind had not been worried by -unsuccessful efforts to imagine what he was to do, with his father on -one side expecting him straightway to enter the Church, with Mary on -the other threatening to forsake him if he did enter it, and with the -working-day world showing no eager need whatever of a young gentleman -without capital and generally unskilled. It was the harder to Freds -disposition because his father, satisfied that he was no longer -rebellious, was in good humor with him, and had sent him on this -pleasant ride to see after some greyhounds. Even when he had fixed on -what he should do, there would be the task of telling his father. But -it must be admitted that the fixing, which had to come first, was the -more difficult task:what secular avocation on earth was there for a -young man (whose friends could not get him an appointment) which was -at once gentlemanly, lucrative, and to be followed without special -knowledge? Riding along the lanes by Frick in this mood, and slackening -his pace while he reflected whether he should venture to go round by -Lowick Parsonage to call on Mary, he could see over the hedges from one -field to another. Suddenly a noise roused his attention, and on the far -side of a field on his left hand he could see six or seven men in -smock-frocks with hay-forks in their hands making an offensive approach -towards the four railway agents who were facing them, while Caleb Garth -and his assistant were hastening across the field to join the -threatened group. Fred, delayed a few moments by having to find the -gate, could not gallop up to the spot before the party in smock-frocks, -whose work of turning the hay had not been too pressing after -swallowing their mid-day beer, were driving the men in coats before -them with their hay-forks; while Caleb Garths assistant, a lad of -seventeen, who had snatched up the spirit-level at Calebs order, had -been knocked down and seemed to be lying helpless. The coated men had -the advantage as runners, and Fred covered their retreat by getting in -front of the smock-frocks and charging them suddenly enough to throw -their chase into confusion. What do you confounded fools mean? -shouted Fred, pursuing the divided group in a zigzag, and cutting right -and left with his whip. Ill swear to every one of you before the -magistrate. Youve knocked the lad down and killed him, for what I -know. Youll every one of you be hanged at the next assizes, if you -dont mind, said Fred, who afterwards laughed heartily as he -remembered his own phrases. - -The laborers had been driven through the gate-way into their hay-field, -and Fred had checked his horse, when Hiram Ford, observing himself at a -safe challenging distance, turned back and shouted a defiance which he -did not know to be Homeric. - -Yore a coward, yo are. Yo git off your horse, young measter, and Ill -have a round wi ye, I wull. Yo darednt come on wiout your hoss an -whip. Id soon knock the breath out on ye, I would. - -Wait a minute, and Ill come back presently, and have a round with you -all in turn, if you like, said Fred, who felt confidence in his power -of boxing with his dearly beloved brethren. But just now he wanted to -hasten back to Caleb and the prostrate youth. - -The lads ankle was strained, and he was in much pain from it, but he -was no further hurt, and Fred placed him on the horse that he might -ride to Yoddrells and be taken care of there. - -Let them put the horse in the stable, and tell the surveyors they can -come back for their traps, said Fred. The ground is clear now. - -No, no, said Caleb, heres a breakage. Theyll have to give up for -to-day, and it will be as well. Here, take the things before you on the -horse, Tom. Theyll see you coming, and theyll turn back. - -Im glad I happened to be here at the right moment, Mr. Garth, said -Fred, as Tom rode away. No knowing what might have happened if the -cavalry had not come up in time. - -Ay, ay, it was lucky, said Caleb, speaking rather absently, and -looking towards the spot where he had been at work at the moment of -interruption. Butdeuce take itthis is what comes of men being -foolsIm hindered of my days work. I cant get along without somebody -to help me with the measuring-chain. However! He was beginning to move -towards the spot with a look of vexation, as if he had forgotten Freds -presence, but suddenly he turned round and said quickly, What have you -got to do to-day, young fellow? - -Nothing, Mr. Garth. Ill help you with pleasurecan I? said Fred, -with a sense that he should be courting Mary when he was helping her -father. - -Well, you mustnt mind stooping and getting hot. - -I dont mind anything. Only I want to go first and have a round with -that hulky fellow who turned to challenge me. It would be a good lesson -for him. I shall not be five minutes. - -Nonsense! said Caleb, with his most peremptory intonation. I shall -go and speak to the men myself. Its all ignorance. Somebody has been -telling them lies. The poor fools dont know any better. - -I shall go with you, then, said Fred. - -No, no; stay where you are. I dont want your young blood. I can take -care of myself. - -Caleb was a powerful man and knew little of any fear except the fear of -hurting others and the fear of having to speechify. But he felt it his -duty at this moment to try and give a little harangue. There was a -striking mixture in himwhich came from his having always been a -hard-working man himselfof rigorous notions about workmen and -practical indulgence towards them. To do a good days work and to do it -well, he held to be part of their welfare, as it was the chief part of -his own happiness; but he had a strong sense of fellowship with them. -When he advanced towards the laborers they had not gone to work again, -but were standing in that form of rural grouping which consists in each -turning a shoulder towards the other, at a distance of two or three -yards. They looked rather sulkily at Caleb, who walked quickly with one -hand in his pocket and the other thrust between the buttons of his -waistcoat, and had his every-day mild air when he paused among them. - -Why, my lads, hows this? he began, taking as usual to brief phrases, -which seemed pregnant to himself, because he had many thoughts lying -under them, like the abundant roots of a plant that just manages to -peep above the water. How came you to make such a mistake as this? -Somebody has been telling you lies. You thought those men up there -wanted to do mischief. - -Aw! was the answer, dropped at intervals by each according to his -degree of unreadiness. - -Nonsense! No such thing! Theyre looking out to see which way the -railroad is to take. Now, my lads, you cant hinder the railroad: it -will be made whether you like it or not. And if you go fighting against -it, youll get yourselves into trouble. The law gives those men leave -to come here on the land. The owner has nothing to say against it, and -if you meddle with them youll have to do with the constable and -Justice Blakesley, and with the handcuffs and Middlemarch jail. And you -might be in for it now, if anybody informed against you. - -Caleb paused here, and perhaps the greatest orator could not have -chosen either his pause or his images better for the occasion. - -But come, you didnt mean any harm. Somebody told you the railroad was -a bad thing. That was a lie. It may do a bit of harm here and there, to -this and to that; and so does the sun in heaven. But the railways a -good thing. - -Aw! good for the big folks to make money out on, said old Timothy -Cooper, who had stayed behind turning his hay while the others had been -gone on their spree;In seen lots o things turn up sin I war a -young unthe war an the peace, and the canells, an the oald King -George, an the Regen, an the new King George, an the new un as has -got a new ne-amean its been all aloike to the poor mon. Whats the -canells been t him? Theyn brought him neyther me-at nor be-acon, nor -wage to lay by, if he didnt save it wi clemmin his own inside. Times -ha got wusser for him sin I war a young un. An so itll be wi the -railroads. Theyll ony leave the poor mon furder behind. But them are -fools as meddle, and so I told the chaps here. This is the big folkss -world, this is. But yore for the big folks, Muster Garth, yo are. - -Timothy was a wiry old laborer, of a type lingering in those timeswho -had his savings in a stocking-foot, lived in a lone cottage, and was -not to be wrought on by any oratory, having as little of the feudal -spirit, and believing as little, as if he had not been totally -unacquainted with the Age of Reason and the Rights of Man. Caleb was in -a difficulty known to any person attempting in dark times and -unassisted by miracle to reason with rustics who are in possession of -an undeniable truth which they know through a hard process of feeling, -and can let it fall like a giants club on your neatly carved argument -for a social benefit which they do not feel. Caleb had no cant at -command, even if he could have chosen to use it; and he had been -accustomed to meet all such difficulties in no other way than by doing -his business faithfully. He answered - -If you dont think well of me, Tim, never mind; thats neither here -nor there now. Things may be bad for the poor manbad they are; but I -want the lads here not to do what will make things worse for -themselves. The cattle may have a heavy load, but it wont help em to -throw it over into the roadside pit, when its partly their own -fodder. - -We war ony for a bit o foon, said Hiram, who was beginning to see -consequences. That war all we war arter. - -Well, promise me not to meddle again, and Ill see that nobody informs -against you. - -In neer meddled, an In no call to promise, said Timothy. - -No, but the rest. Come, Im as hard at work as any of you to-day, and -I cant spare much time. Say youll be quiet without the constable. - -Aw, we wooant meddlethey may do as they loike for ooswere the forms -in which Caleb got his pledges; and then he hastened back to Fred, who -had followed him, and watched him in the gateway. - -They went to work, and Fred helped vigorously. His spirits had risen, -and he heartily enjoyed a good slip in the moist earth under the -hedgerow, which soiled his perfect summer trousers. Was it his -successful onset which had elated him, or the satisfaction of helping -Marys father? Something more. The accidents of the morning had helped -his frustrated imagination to shape an employment for himself which had -several attractions. I am not sure that certain fibres in Mr. Garths -mind had not resumed their old vibration towards the very end which now -revealed itself to Fred. For the effective accident is but the touch of -fire where there is oil and tow; and it always appeared to Fred that -the railway brought the needed touch. But they went on in silence -except when their business demanded speech. At last, when they had -finished and were walking away, Mr. Garth said - -A young fellow neednt be a B. A. to do this sort of work, eh, Fred? - -I wish I had taken to it before I had thought of being a B. A., said -Fred. He paused a moment, and then added, more hesitatingly, Do you -think I am too old to learn your business, Mr. Garth? - -My business is of many sorts, my boy, said Mr. Garth, smiling. A -good deal of what I know can only come from experience: you cant learn -it off as you learn things out of a book. But you are young enough to -lay a foundation yet. Caleb pronounced the last sentence emphatically, -but paused in some uncertainty. He had been under the impression lately -that Fred had made up his mind to enter the Church. - -You do think I could do some good at it, if I were to try? said Fred, -more eagerly. - -That depends, said Caleb, turning his head on one side and lowering -his voice, with the air of a man who felt himself to be saying -something deeply religious. You must be sure of two things: you must -love your work, and not be always looking over the edge of it, wanting -your play to begin. And the other is, you must not be ashamed of your -work, and think it would be more honorable to you to be doing something -else. You must have a pride in your own work and in learning to do it -well, and not be always saying, Theres this and theres thatif I had -this or that to do, I might make something of it. No matter what a man -isI wouldnt give twopence for himhere Calebs mouth looked bitter, -and he snapped his fingerswhether he was the prime minister or the -rick-thatcher, if he didnt do well what he undertook to do. - -I can never feel that I should do that in being a clergyman, said -Fred, meaning to take a step in argument. - -Then let it alone, my boy, said Caleb, abruptly, else youll never -be easy. Or, if you _are_ easy, youll be a poor stick. - -That is very nearly what Mary thinks about it, said Fred, coloring. -I think you must know what I feel for Mary, Mr. Garth: I hope it does -not displease you that I have always loved her better than any one -else, and that I shall never love any one as I love her. - -The expression of Calebs face was visibly softening while Fred spoke. -But he swung his head with a solemn slowness, and said - -That makes things more serious, Fred, if you want to take Marys -happiness into your keeping. - -I know that, Mr. Garth, said Fred, eagerly, and I would do anything -for _her_. She says she will never have me if I go into the Church; and -I shall be the most miserable devil in the world if I lose all hope of -Mary. Really, if I could get some other profession, businessanything -that I am at all fit for, I would work hard, I would deserve your good -opinion. I should like to have to do with outdoor things. I know a good -deal about land and cattle already. I used to believe, you knowthough -you will think me rather foolish for itthat I should have land of my -own. I am sure knowledge of that sort would come easily to me, -especially if I could be under you in any way. - -Softly, my boy, said Caleb, having the image of Susan before his -eyes. What have you said to your father about all this? - -Nothing, yet; but I must tell him. I am only waiting to know what I -can do instead of entering the Church. I am very sorry to disappoint -him, but a man ought to be allowed to judge for himself when he is -four-and-twenty. How could I know when I was fifteen, what it would be -right for me to do now? My education was a mistake. - -But hearken to this, Fred, said Caleb. Are you sure Mary is fond of -you, or would ever have you? - -I asked Mr. Farebrother to talk to her, because she had forbidden meI -didnt know what else to do, said Fred, apologetically. And he says -that I have every reason to hope, if I can put myself in an honorable -positionI mean, out of the Church. I dare say you think it -unwarrantable in me, Mr. Garth, to be troubling you and obtruding my -own wishes about Mary, before I have done anything at all for myself. -Of course I have not the least claimindeed, I have already a debt to -you which will never be discharged, even when I have been able to pay -it in the shape of money. - -Yes, my boy, you have a claim, said Caleb, with much feeling in his -voice. The young ones have always a claim on the old to help them -forward. I was young myself once and had to do without much help; but -help would have been welcome to me, if it had been only for the -fellow-feelings sake. But I must consider. Come to me to-morrow at the -office, at nine oclock. At the office, mind. - -Mr. Garth would take no important step without consulting Susan, but it -must be confessed that before he reached home he had taken his -resolution. With regard to a large number of matters about which other -men are decided or obstinate, he was the most easily manageable man in -the world. He never knew what meat he would choose, and if Susan had -said that they ought to live in a four-roomed cottage, in order to -save, he would have said, Let us go, without inquiring into details. -But where Calebs feeling and judgment strongly pronounced, he was a -ruler; and in spite of his mildness and timidity in reproving, every -one about him knew that on the exceptional occasions when he chose, he -was absolute. He never, indeed, chose to be absolute except on some one -elses behalf. On ninety-nine points Mrs. Garth decided, but on the -hundredth she was often aware that she would have to perform the -singularly difficult task of carrying out her own principle, and to -make herself subordinate. - -It is come round as I thought, Susan, said Caleb, when they were -seated alone in the evening. He had already narrated the adventure -which had brought about Freds sharing in his work, but had kept back -the further result. The children _are_ fond of each otherI mean, Fred -and Mary. - -Mrs. Garth laid her work on her knee, and fixed her penetrating eyes -anxiously on her husband. - -After wed done our work, Fred poured it all out to me. He cant bear -to be a clergyman, and Mary says she wont have him if he is one; and -the lad would like to be under me and give his mind to business. And -Ive determined to take him and make a man of him. - -Caleb! said Mrs. Garth, in a deep contralto, expressive of resigned -astonishment. - -Its a fine thing to do, said Mr. Garth, settling himself firmly -against the back of his chair, and grasping the elbows. I shall have -trouble with him, but I think I shall carry it through. The lad loves -Mary, and a true love for a good woman is a great thing, Susan. It -shapes many a rough fellow. - -Has Mary spoken to you on the subject? said Mrs Garth, secretly a -little hurt that she had to be informed on it herself. - -Not a word. I asked her about Fred once; I gave her a bit of a -warning. But she assured me she would never marry an idle -self-indulgent mannothing since. But it seems Fred set on Mr. -Farebrother to talk to her, because she had forbidden him to speak -himself, and Mr. Farebrother has found out that she is fond of Fred, -but says he must not be a clergyman. Freds heart is fixed on Mary, -that I can see: it gives me a good opinion of the ladand we always -liked him, Susan. - -It is a pity for Mary, I think, said Mrs. Garth. - -Whya pity? - -Because, Caleb, she might have had a man who is worth twenty Fred -Vincys. - -Ah? said Caleb, with surprise. - -I firmly believe that Mr. Farebrother is attached to her, and meant to -make her an offer; but of course, now that Fred has used him as an -envoy, there is an end to that better prospect. There was a severe -precision in Mrs. Garths utterance. She was vexed and disappointed, -but she was bent on abstaining from useless words. - -Caleb was silent a few moments under a conflict of feelings. He looked -at the floor and moved his head and hands in accompaniment to some -inward argumentation. At last he said - -That would have made me very proud and happy, Susan, and I should have -been glad for your sake. Ive always felt that your belongings have -never been on a level with you. But you took me, though I was a plain -man. - -I took the best and cleverest man I had ever known, said Mrs. Garth, -convinced that _she_ would never have loved any one who came short of -that mark. - -Well, perhaps others thought you might have done better. But it would -have been worse for me. And that is what touches me close about Fred. -The lad is good at bottom, and clever enough to do, if hes put in the -right way; and he loves and honors my daughter beyond anything, and she -has given him a sort of promise according to what he turns out. I say, -that young mans soul is in my hand; and Ill do the best I can for -him, so help me God! Its my duty, Susan. - -Mrs. Garth was not given to tears, but there was a large one rolling -down her face before her husband had finished. It came from the -pressure of various feelings, in which there was much affection and -some vexation. She wiped it away quickly, saying - -Few men besides you would think it a duty to add to their anxieties in -that way, Caleb. - -That signifies nothingwhat other men would think. Ive got a clear -feeling inside me, and that I shall follow; and I hope your heart will -go with me, Susan, in making everything as light as can be to Mary, -poor child. - -Caleb, leaning back in his chair, looked with anxious appeal towards -his wife. She rose and kissed him, saying, God bless you, Caleb! Our -children have a good father. - -But she went out and had a hearty cry to make up for the suppression of -her words. She felt sure that her husbands conduct would be -misunderstood, and about Fred she was rational and unhopeful. Which -would turn out to have the more foresight in ither rationality or -Calebs ardent generosity? - -When Fred went to the office the next morning, there was a test to be -gone through which he was not prepared for. - -Now Fred, said Caleb, you will have some desk-work. I have always -done a good deal of writing myself, but I cant do without help, and as -I want you to understand the accounts and get the values into your -head, I mean to do without another clerk. So you must buckle to. How -are you at writing and arithmetic? - -Fred felt an awkward movement of the heart; he had not thought of -desk-work; but he was in a resolute mood, and not going to shrink. Im -not afraid of arithmetic, Mr. Garth: it always came easily to me. I -think you know my writing. - -Let us see, said Caleb, taking up a pen, examining it carefully and -handing it, well dipped, to Fred with a sheet of ruled paper. Copy me -a line or two of that valuation, with the figures at the end. - -At that time the opinion existed that it was beneath a gentleman to -write legibly, or with a hand in the least suitable to a clerk. Fred -wrote the lines demanded in a hand as gentlemanly as that of any -viscount or bishop of the day: the vowels were all alike and the -consonants only distinguishable as turning up or down, the strokes had -a blotted solidity and the letters disdained to keep the linein short, -it was a manuscript of that venerable kind easy to interpret when you -know beforehand what the writer means. - -As Caleb looked on, his visage showed a growing depression, but when -Fred handed him the paper he gave something like a snarl, and rapped -the paper passionately with the back of his hand. Bad work like this -dispelled all Calebs mildness. - -The deuce! he exclaimed, snarlingly. To think that this is a country -where a mans education may cost hundreds and hundreds, and it turns -you out this! Then in a more pathetic tone, pushing up his spectacles -and looking at the unfortunate scribe, The Lord have mercy on us, -Fred, I cant put up with this! - -What can I do, Mr. Garth? said Fred, whose spirits had sunk very low, -not only at the estimate of his handwriting, but at the vision of -himself as liable to be ranked with office clerks. - -Do? Why, you must learn to form your letters and keep the line. Whats -the use of writing at all if nobody can understand it? asked Caleb, -energetically, quite preoccupied with the bad quality of the work. Is -there so little business in the world that you must be sending puzzles -over the country? But thats the way people are brought up. I should -lose no end of time with the letters some people send me, if Susan did -not make them out for me. Its disgusting. Here Caleb tossed the paper -from him. - -Any stranger peeping into the office at that moment might have wondered -what was the drama between the indignant man of business, and the -fine-looking young fellow whose blond complexion was getting rather -patchy as he bit his lip with mortification. Fred was struggling with -many thoughts. Mr. Garth had been so kind and encouraging at the -beginning of their interview, that gratitude and hopefulness had been -at a high pitch, and the downfall was proportionate. He had not thought -of desk-workin fact, like the majority of young gentlemen, he wanted -an occupation which should be free from disagreeables. I cannot tell -what might have been the consequences if he had not distinctly promised -himself that he would go to Lowick to see Mary and tell her that he was -engaged to work under her father. He did not like to disappoint himself -there. - -I am very sorry, were all the words that he could muster. But Mr. -Garth was already relenting. - -We must make the best of it, Fred, he began, with a return to his -usual quiet tone. Every man can learn to write. I taught myself. Go at -it with a will, and sit up at night if the day-time isnt enough. Well -be patient, my boy. Callum shall go on with the books for a bit, while -you are learning. But now I must be off, said Caleb, rising. You must -let your father know our agreement. Youll save me Callums salary, you -know, when you can write; and I can afford to give you eighty pounds -for the first year, and more after. - -When Fred made the necessary disclosure to his parents, the relative -effect on the two was a surprise which entered very deeply into his -memory. He went straight from Mr. Garths office to the warehouse, -rightly feeling that the most respectful way in which he could behave -to his father was to make the painful communication as gravely and -formally as possible. Moreover, the decision would be more certainly -understood to be final, if the interview took place in his fathers -gravest hours, which were always those spent in his private room at the -warehouse. - -Fred entered on the subject directly, and declared briefly what he had -done and was resolved to do, expressing at the end his regret that he -should be the cause of disappointment to his father, and taking the -blame on his own deficiencies. The regret was genuine, and inspired -Fred with strong, simple words. - -Mr. Vincy listened in profound surprise without uttering even an -exclamation, a silence which in his impatient temperament was a sign of -unusual emotion. He had not been in good spirits about trade that -morning, and the slight bitterness in his lips grew intense as he -listened. When Fred had ended, there was a pause of nearly a minute, -during which Mr. Vincy replaced a book in his desk and turned the key -emphatically. Then he looked at his son steadily, and said - -So youve made up your mind at last, sir? - -Yes, father. - -Very well; stick to it. Ive no more to say. Youve thrown away your -education, and gone down a step in life, when I had given you the means -of rising, thats all. - -I am very sorry that we differ, father. I think I can be quite as much -of a gentleman at the work I have undertaken, as if I had been a -curate. But I am grateful to you for wishing to do the best for me. - -Very well; I have no more to say. I wash my hands of you. I only hope, -when you have a son of your own he will make a better return for the -pains you spend on him. - -This was very cutting to Fred. His father was using that unfair -advantage possessed by us all when we are in a pathetic situation and -see our own past as if it were simply part of the pathos. In reality, -Mr. Vincys wishes about his son had had a great deal of pride, -inconsiderateness, and egoistic folly in them. But still the -disappointed father held a strong lever; and Fred felt as if he were -being banished with a malediction. - -I hope you will not object to my remaining at home, sir? he said, -after rising to go; I shall have a sufficient salary to pay for my -board, as of course I should wish to do. - -Board be hanged! said Mr. Vincy, recovering himself in his disgust at -the notion that Freds keep would be missed at his table. Of course -your mother will want you to stay. But I shall keep no horse for you, -you understand; and you will pay your own tailor. You will do with a -suit or two less, I fancy, when you have to pay for em. - -Fred lingered; there was still something to be said. At last it came. - -I hope you will shake hands with me, father, and forgive me the -vexation I have caused you. - -Mr. Vincy from his chair threw a quick glance upward at his son, who -had advanced near to him, and then gave his hand, saying hurriedly, -Yes, yes, let us say no more. - -Fred went through much more narrative and explanation with his mother, -but she was inconsolable, having before her eyes what perhaps her -husband had never thought of, the certainty that Fred would marry Mary -Garth, that her life would henceforth be spoiled by a perpetual -infusion of Garths and their ways, and that her darling boy, with his -beautiful face and stylish air beyond anybody elses son in -Middlemarch, would be sure to get like that family in plainness of -appearance and carelessness about his clothes. To her it seemed that -there was a Garth conspiracy to get possession of the desirable Fred, -but she dared not enlarge on this opinion, because a slight hint of it -had made him fly out at her as he had never done before. Her temper -was too sweet for her to show any anger, but she felt that her -happiness had received a bruise, and for several days merely to look at -Fred made her cry a little as if he were the subject of some baleful -prophecy. Perhaps she was the slower to recover her usual cheerfulness -because Fred had warned her that she must not reopen the sore question -with his father, who had accepted his decision and forgiven him. If her -husband had been vehement against Fred, she would have been urged into -defence of her darling. It was the end of the fourth day when Mr. Vincy -said to her - -Come, Lucy, my dear, dont be so down-hearted. You always have spoiled -the boy, and you must go on spoiling him. - -Nothing ever did cut me so before, Vincy, said the wife, her fair -throat and chin beginning to tremble again, only his illness. - -Pooh, pooh, never mind! We must expect to have trouble with our -children. Dont make it worse by letting me see you out of spirits. - -Well, I wont, said Mrs. Vincy, roused by this appeal and adjusting -herself with a little shake as of a bird which lays down its ruffled -plumage. - -It wont do to begin making a fuss about one, said Mr. Vincy, wishing -to combine a little grumbling with domestic cheerfulness. Theres -Rosamond as well as Fred. - -Yes, poor thing. Im sure I felt for her being disappointed of her -baby; but she got over it nicely. - -Baby, pooh! I can see Lydgate is making a mess of his practice, and -getting into debt too, by what I hear. I shall have Rosamond coming to -me with a pretty tale one of these days. But theyll get no money from -me, I know. Let _his_ family help him. I never did like that marriage. -But its no use talking. Ring the bell for lemons, and dont look dull -any more, Lucy. Ill drive you and Louisa to Riverston to-morrow. - - - - -CHAPTER LVII. - -They numbered scarce eight summers when a name - Rose on their souls and stirred such motions there -As thrill the buds and shape their hidden frame - At penetration of the quickening air: -His name who told of loyal Evan Dhu, - Of quaint Bradwardine, and Vich Ian Vor, -Making the little world their childhood knew - Large with a land of mountain lake and scaur, -And larger yet with wonder, love, belief - Toward Walter Scott who living far away -Sent them this wealth of joy and noble grief. - The book and they must part, but day by day, - In lines that thwart like portly spiders ran - They wrote the tale, from Tully Veolan. - - -The evening that Fred Vincy walked to Lowick parsonage (he had begun to -see that this was a world in which even a spirited young man must -sometimes walk for want of a horse to carry him) he set out at five -oclock and called on Mrs. Garth by the way, wishing to assure himself -that she accepted their new relations willingly. - -He found the family group, dogs and cats included, under the great -apple-tree in the orchard. It was a festival with Mrs. Garth, for her -eldest son, Christy, her peculiar joy and pride, had come home for a -short holidayChristy, who held it the most desirable thing in the -world to be a tutor, to study all literatures and be a regenerate -Porson, and who was an incorporate criticism on poor Fred, a sort of -object-lesson given to him by the educational mother. Christy himself, -a square-browed, broad-shouldered masculine edition of his mother not -much higher than Freds shoulderwhich made it the harder that he -should be held superiorwas always as simple as possible, and thought -no more of Freds disinclination to scholarship than of a giraffes, -wishing that he himself were more of the same height. He was lying on -the ground now by his mothers chair, with his straw hat laid flat over -his eyes, while Jim on the other side was reading aloud from that -beloved writer who has made a chief part in the happiness of many young -lives. The volume was Ivanhoe, and Jim was in the great archery scene -at the tournament, but suffered much interruption from Ben, who had -fetched his own old bow and arrows, and was making himself dreadfully -disagreeable, Letty thought, by begging all present to observe his -random shots, which no one wished to do except Brownie, the -active-minded but probably shallow mongrel, while the grizzled -Newfoundland lying in the sun looked on with the dull-eyed neutrality -of extreme old age. Letty herself, showing as to her mouth and pinafore -some slight signs that she had been assisting at the gathering of the -cherries which stood in a coral-heap on the tea-table, was now seated -on the grass, listening open-eyed to the reading. - -But the centre of interest was changed for all by the arrival of Fred -Vincy. When, seating himself on a garden-stool, he said that he was on -his way to Lowick Parsonage, Ben, who had thrown down his bow, and -snatched up a reluctant half-grown kitten instead, strode across Freds -outstretched leg, and said Take me! - -Oh, and me too, said Letty. - -You cant keep up with Fred and me, said Ben. - -Yes, I can. Mother, please say that I am to go, urged Letty, whose -life was much checkered by resistance to her depreciation as a girl. - -I shall stay with Christy, observed Jim; as much as to say that he -had the advantage of those simpletons; whereupon Letty put her hand up -to her head and looked with jealous indecision from the one to the -other. - -Let us all go and see Mary, said Christy, opening his arms. - -No, my dear child, we must not go in a swarm to the parsonage. And -that old Glasgow suit of yours would never do. Besides, your father -will come home. We must let Fred go alone. He can tell Mary that you -are here, and she will come back to-morrow. - -Christy glanced at his own threadbare knees, and then at Freds -beautiful white trousers. Certainly Freds tailoring suggested the -advantages of an English university, and he had a graceful way even of -looking warm and of pushing his hair back with his handkerchief. - -Children, run away, said Mrs. Garth; it is too warm to hang about -your friends. Take your brother and show him the rabbits. - -The eldest understood, and led off the children immediately. Fred felt -that Mrs. Garth wished to give him an opportunity of saying anything he -had to say, but he could only begin by observing - -How glad you must be to have Christy here! - -Yes; he has come sooner than I expected. He got down from the coach at -nine oclock, just after his father went out. I am longing for Caleb to -come and hear what wonderful progress Christy is making. He has paid -his expenses for the last year by giving lessons, carrying on hard -study at the same time. He hopes soon to get a private tutorship and go -abroad. - -He is a great fellow, said Fred, to whom these cheerful truths had a -medicinal taste, and no trouble to anybody. After a slight pause, he -added, But I fear you will think that I am going to be a great deal of -trouble to Mr. Garth. - -Caleb likes taking trouble: he is one of those men who always do more -than any one would have thought of asking them to do, answered Mrs. -Garth. She was knitting, and could either look at Fred or not, as she -chosealways an advantage when one is bent on loading speech with -salutary meaning; and though Mrs. Garth intended to be duly reserved, -she did wish to say something that Fred might be the better for. - -I know you think me very undeserving, Mrs. Garth, and with good -reason, said Fred, his spirit rising a little at the perception of -something like a disposition to lecture him. I happen to have behaved -just the worst to the people I cant help wishing for the most from. -But while two men like Mr. Garth and Mr. Farebrother have not given me -up, I dont see why I should give myself up. Fred thought it might be -well to suggest these masculine examples to Mrs. Garth. - -Assuredly, said she, with gathering emphasis. A young man for whom -two such elders had devoted themselves would indeed be culpable if he -threw himself away and made their sacrifices vain. - -Fred wondered a little at this strong language, but only said, I hope -it will not be so with me, Mrs. Garth, since I have some encouragement -to believe that I may win Mary. Mr. Garth has told you about that? You -were not surprised, I dare say? Fred ended, innocently referring only -to his own love as probably evident enough. - -Not surprised that Mary has given you encouragement? returned Mrs. -Garth, who thought it would be well for Fred to be more alive to the -fact that Marys friends could not possibly have wished this -beforehand, whatever the Vincys might suppose. Yes, I confess I was -surprised. - -She never did give me anynot the least in the world, when I talked to -her myself, said Fred, eager to vindicate Mary. But when I asked Mr. -Farebrother to speak for me, she allowed him to tell me there was a -hope. - -The power of admonition which had begun to stir in Mrs. Garth had not -yet discharged itself. It was a little too provoking even for _her_ -self-control that this blooming youngster should flourish on the -disappointments of sadder and wiser peoplemaking a meal of a -nightingale and never knowing itand that all the while his family -should suppose that hers was in eager need of this sprig; and her -vexation had fermented the more actively because of its total -repression towards her husband. Exemplary wives will sometimes find -scapegoats in this way. She now said with energetic decision, You made -a great mistake, Fred, in asking Mr. Farebrother to speak for you. - -Did I? said Fred, reddening instantaneously. He was alarmed, but at a -loss to know what Mrs. Garth meant, and added, in an apologetic tone, -Mr. Farebrother has always been such a friend of ours; and Mary, I -knew, would listen to him gravely; and he took it on himself quite -readily. - -Yes, young people are usually blind to everything but their own -wishes, and seldom imagine how much those wishes cost others, said -Mrs. Garth. She did not mean to go beyond this salutary general -doctrine, and threw her indignation into a needless unwinding of her -worsted, knitting her brow at it with a grand air. - -I cannot conceive how it could be any pain to Mr. Farebrother, said -Fred, who nevertheless felt that surprising conceptions were beginning -to form themselves. - -Precisely; you cannot conceive, said Mrs. Garth, cutting her words as -neatly as possible. - -For a moment Fred looked at the horizon with a dismayed anxiety, and -then turning with a quick movement said almost sharply - -Do you mean to say, Mrs. Garth, that Mr. Farebrother is in love with -Mary? - -And if it were so, Fred, I think you are the last person who ought to -be surprised, returned Mrs. Garth, laying her knitting down beside her -and folding her arms. It was an unwonted sign of emotion in her that -she should put her work out of her hands. In fact her feelings were -divided between the satisfaction of giving Fred his discipline and the -sense of having gone a little too far. Fred took his hat and stick and -rose quickly. - -Then you think I am standing in his way, and in Marys too? he said, -in a tone which seemed to demand an answer. - -Mrs. Garth could not speak immediately. She had brought herself into -the unpleasant position of being called on to say what she really felt, -yet what she knew there were strong reasons for concealing. And to her -the consciousness of having exceeded in words was peculiarly -mortifying. Besides, Fred had given out unexpected electricity, and he -now added, Mr. Garth seemed pleased that Mary should be attached to -me. He could not have known anything of this. - -Mrs. Garth felt a severe twinge at this mention of her husband, the -fear that Caleb might think her in the wrong not being easily -endurable. She answered, wanting to check unintended consequences - -I spoke from inference only. I am not aware that Mary knows anything -of the matter. - -But she hesitated to beg that he would keep entire silence on a subject -which she had herself unnecessarily mentioned, not being used to stoop -in that way; and while she was hesitating there was already a rush of -unintended consequences under the apple-tree where the tea-things -stood. Ben, bouncing across the grass with Brownie at his heels, and -seeing the kitten dragging the knitting by a lengthening line of wool, -shouted and clapped his hands; Brownie barked, the kitten, desperate, -jumped on the tea-table and upset the milk, then jumped down again and -swept half the cherries with it; and Ben, snatching up the half-knitted -sock-top, fitted it over the kittens head as a new source of madness, -while Letty arriving cried out to her mother against this crueltyit -was a history as full of sensation as This is the house that Jack -built. Mrs. Garth was obliged to interfere, the other young ones came -up and the _tte--tte_ with Fred was ended. He got away as soon as he -could, and Mrs. Garth could only imply some retractation of her -severity by saying God bless you when she shook hands with him. - -She was unpleasantly conscious that she had been on the verge of -speaking as one of the foolish women speakethtelling first and -entreating silence after. But she had not entreated silence, and to -prevent Calebs blame she determined to blame herself and confess all -to him that very night. It was curious what an awful tribunal the mild -Calebs was to her, whenever he set it up. But she meant to point out -to him that the revelation might do Fred Vincy a great deal of good. - -No doubt it was having a strong effect on him as he walked to Lowick. -Freds light hopeful nature had perhaps never had so much of a bruise -as from this suggestion that if he had been out of the way Mary might -have made a thoroughly good match. Also he was piqued that he had been -what he called such a stupid lout as to ask that intervention from Mr. -Farebrother. But it was not in a lovers natureit was not in Freds, -that the new anxiety raised about Marys feeling should not surmount -every other. Notwithstanding his trust in Mr. Farebrothers generosity, -notwithstanding what Mary had said to him, Fred could not help feeling -that he had a rival: it was a new consciousness, and he objected to it -extremely, not being in the least ready to give up Mary for her good, -being ready rather to fight for her with any man whatsoever. But the -fighting with Mr. Farebrother must be of a metaphorical kind, which was -much more difficult to Fred than the muscular. Certainly this -experience was a discipline for Fred hardly less sharp than his -disappointment about his uncles will. The iron had not entered into -his soul, but he had begun to imagine what the sharp edge would be. It -did not once occur to Fred that Mrs. Garth might be mistaken about Mr. -Farebrother, but he suspected that she might be wrong about Mary. Mary -had been staying at the parsonage lately, and her mother might know -very little of what had been passing in her mind. - -He did not feel easier when he found her looking cheerful with the -three ladies in the drawing-room. They were in animated discussion on -some subject which was dropped when he entered, and Mary was copying -the labels from a heap of shallow cabinet drawers, in a minute -handwriting which she was skilled in. Mr. Farebrother was somewhere in -the village, and the three ladies knew nothing of Freds peculiar -relation to Mary: it was impossible for either of them to propose that -they should walk round the garden, and Fred predicted to himself that -he should have to go away without saying a word to her in private. He -told her first of Christys arrival and then of his own engagement with -her father; and he was comforted by seeing that this latter news -touched her keenly. She said hurriedly, I am so glad, and then bent -over her writing to hinder any one from noticing her face. But here was -a subject which Mrs. Farebrother could not let pass. - -You dont mean, my dear Miss Garth, that you are glad to hear of a -young man giving up the Church for which he was educated: you only mean -that things being so, you are glad that he should be under an excellent -man like your father. - -No, really, Mrs. Farebrother, I am glad of both, I fear, said Mary, -cleverly getting rid of one rebellious tear. I have a dreadfully -secular mind. I never liked any clergyman except the Vicar of Wakefield -and Mr. Farebrother. - -Now why, my dear? said Mrs. Farebrother, pausing on her large wooden -knitting-needles and looking at Mary. You have always a good reason -for your opinions, but this astonishes me. Of course I put out of the -question those who preach new doctrine. But why should you dislike -clergymen? - -Oh dear, said Mary, her face breaking into merriment as she seemed to -consider a moment, I dont like their neckcloths. - -Why, you dont like Camdens, then, said Miss Winifred, in some -anxiety. - -Yes, I do, said Mary. I dont like the other clergymens neckcloths, -because it is they who wear them. - -How very puzzling! said Miss Noble, feeling that her own intellect -was probably deficient. - -My dear, you are joking. You would have better reasons than these for -slighting so respectable a class of men, said Mrs. Farebrother, -majestically. - -Miss Garth has such severe notions of what people should be that it is -difficult to satisfy her, said Fred. - -Well, I am glad at least that she makes an exception in favor of my -son, said the old lady. - -Mary was wondering at Freds piqued tone, when Mr. Farebrother came in -and had to hear the news about the engagement under Mr. Garth. At the -end he said with quiet satisfaction, _That_ is right; and then bent -to look at Marys labels and praise her handwriting. Fred felt horribly -jealouswas glad, of course, that Mr. Farebrother was so estimable, but -wished that he had been ugly and fat as men at forty sometimes are. It -was clear what the end would be, since Mary openly placed Farebrother -above everybody, and these women were all evidently encouraging the -affair. He was feeling sure that he should have no chance of speaking -to Mary, when Mr. Farebrother said - -Fred, help me to carry these drawers back into my studyyou have never -seen my fine new study. Pray come too, Miss Garth. I want you to see a -stupendous spider I found this morning. - -Mary at once saw the Vicars intention. He had never since the -memorable evening deviated from his old pastoral kindness towards her, -and her momentary wonder and doubt had quite gone to sleep. Mary was -accustomed to think rather rigorously of what was probable, and if a -belief flattered her vanity she felt warned to dismiss it as -ridiculous, having early had much exercise in such dismissals. It was -as she had foreseen: when Fred had been asked to admire the fittings of -the study, and she had been asked to admire the spider, Mr. Farebrother -said - -Wait here a minute or two. I am going to look out an engraving which -Fred is tall enough to hang for me. I shall be back in a few minutes. -And then he went out. Nevertheless, the first word Fred said to Mary -was - -It is of no use, whatever I do, Mary. You are sure to marry -Farebrother at last. There was some rage in his tone. - -What do you mean, Fred? Mary exclaimed indignantly, blushing deeply, -and surprised out of all her readiness in reply. - -It is impossible that you should not see it all clearly enoughyou who -see everything. - -I only see that you are behaving very ill, Fred, in speaking so of Mr. -Farebrother after he has pleaded your cause in every way. How can you -have taken up such an idea? - -Fred was rather deep, in spite of his irritation. If Mary had really -been unsuspicious, there was no good in telling her what Mrs. Garth had -said. - -It follows as a matter of course, he replied. When you are -continually seeing a man who beats me in everything, and whom you set -up above everybody, I can have no fair chance. - -You are very ungrateful, Fred, said Mary. I wish I had never told -Mr. Farebrother that I cared for you in the least. - -No, I am not ungrateful; I should be the happiest fellow in the world -if it were not for this. I told your father everything, and he was very -kind; he treated me as if I were his son. I could go at the work with a -will, writing and everything, if it were not for this. - -For this? for what? said Mary, imagining now that something specific -must have been said or done. - -This dreadful certainty that I shall be bowled out by Farebrother. -Mary was appeased by her inclination to laugh. - -Fred, she said, peeping round to catch his eyes, which were sulkily -turned away from her, you are too delightfully ridiculous. If you were -not such a charming simpleton, what a temptation this would be to play -the wicked coquette, and let you suppose that somebody besides you has -made love to me. - -Do you really like me best, Mary? said Fred, turning eyes full of -affection on her, and trying to take her hand. - -I dont like you at all at this moment, said Mary, retreating, and -putting her hands behind her. I only said that no mortal ever made -love to me besides you. And that is no argument that a very wise man -ever will, she ended, merrily. - -I wish you would tell me that you could not possibly ever think of -him, said Fred. - -Never dare to mention this any more to me, Fred, said Mary, getting -serious again. I dont know whether it is more stupid or ungenerous in -you not to see that Mr. Farebrother has left us together on purpose -that we might speak freely. I am disappointed that you should be so -blind to his delicate feeling. - -There was no time to say any more before Mr. Farebrother came back with -the engraving; and Fred had to return to the drawing-room still with a -jealous dread in his heart, but yet with comforting arguments from -Marys words and manner. The result of the conversation was on the -whole more painful to Mary: inevitably her attention had taken a new -attitude, and she saw the possibility of new interpretations. She was -in a position in which she seemed to herself to be slighting Mr. -Farebrother, and this, in relation to a man who is much honored, is -always dangerous to the firmness of a grateful woman. To have a reason -for going home the next day was a relief, for Mary earnestly desired to -be always clear that she loved Fred best. When a tender affection has -been storing itself in us through many of our years, the idea that we -could accept any exchange for it seems to be a cheapening of our lives. -And we can set a watch over our affections and our constancy as we can -over other treasures. - -Fred has lost all his other expectations; he must keep this, Mary -said to herself, with a smile curling her lips. It was impossible to -help fleeting visions of another kindnew dignities and an acknowledged -value of which she had often felt the absence. But these things with -Fred outside them, Fred forsaken and looking sad for the want of her, -could never tempt her deliberate thought. - - - - -CHAPTER LVIII. - -For there can live no hatred in thine eye, -Therefore in that I cannot know thy change: -In manys looks the false hearts history -Is writ in moods and frowns and wrinkles strange: -But Heaven in thy creation did decree -That in thy face sweet love should ever dwell: -Whateer thy thoughts or thy hearts workings be -Thy looks should nothing thence but sweetness tell. -SHAKESPEARE: _Sonnets_. - - -At the time when Mr. Vincy uttered that presentiment about Rosamond, -she herself had never had the idea that she should be driven to make -the sort of appeal which he foresaw. She had not yet had any anxiety -about ways and means, although her domestic life had been expensive as -well as eventful. Her baby had been born prematurely, and all the -embroidered robes and caps had to be laid by in darkness. This -misfortune was attributed entirely to her having persisted in going out -on horseback one day when her husband had desired her not to do so; but -it must not be supposed that she had shown temper on the occasion, or -rudely told him that she would do as she liked. - -What led her particularly to desire horse-exercise was a visit from -Captain Lydgate, the baronets third son, who, I am sorry to say, was -detested by our Tertius of that name as a vapid fop parting his hair -from brow to nape in a despicable fashion (not followed by Tertius -himself), and showing an ignorant security that he knew the proper -thing to say on every topic. Lydgate inwardly cursed his own folly that -he had drawn down this visit by consenting to go to his uncles on the -wedding-tour, and he made himself rather disagreeable to Rosamond by -saying so in private. For to Rosamond this visit was a source of -unprecedented but gracefully concealed exultation. She was so intensely -conscious of having a cousin who was a baronets son staying in the -house, that she imagined the knowledge of what was implied by his -presence to be diffused through all other minds; and when she -introduced Captain Lydgate to her guests, she had a placid sense that -his rank penetrated them as if it had been an odor. The satisfaction -was enough for the time to melt away some disappointment in the -conditions of marriage with a medical man even of good birth: it seemed -now that her marriage was visibly as well as ideally floating her above -the Middlemarch level, and the future looked bright with letters and -visits to and from Quallingham, and vague advancement in consequence -for Tertius. Especially as, probably at the Captains suggestion, his -married sister, Mrs. Mengan, had come with her maid, and stayed two -nights on her way from town. Hence it was clearly worth while for -Rosamond to take pains with her music and the careful selection of her -lace. - -As to Captain Lydgate himself, his low brow, his aquiline nose bent on -one side, and his rather heavy utterance, might have been -disadvantageous in any young gentleman who had not a military bearing -and mustache to give him what is doted on by some flower-like blond -heads as style. He had, moreover, that sort of high-breeding which -consists in being free from the petty solicitudes of middle-class -gentility, and he was a great critic of feminine charms. Rosamond -delighted in his admiration now even more than she had done at -Quallingham, and he found it easy to spend several hours of the day in -flirting with her. The visit altogether was one of the pleasantest -larks he had ever had, not the less so perhaps because he suspected -that his queer cousin Tertius wished him away: though Lydgate, who -would rather (hyperbolically speaking) have died than have failed in -polite hospitality, suppressed his dislike, and only pretended -generally not to hear what the gallant officer said, consigning the -task of answering him to Rosamond. For he was not at all a jealous -husband, and preferred leaving a feather-headed young gentleman alone -with his wife to bearing him company. - -I wish you would talk more to the Captain at dinner, Tertius, said -Rosamond, one evening when the important guest was gone to Loamford to -see some brother officers stationed there. You really look so absent -sometimesyou seem to be seeing through his head into something behind -it, instead of looking at him. - -My dear Rosy, you dont expect me to talk much to such a conceited ass -as that, I hope, said Lydgate, brusquely. If he got his head broken, -I might look at it with interest, not before. - -I cannot conceive why you should speak of your cousin so -contemptuously, said Rosamond, her fingers moving at her work while -she spoke with a mild gravity which had a touch of disdain in it. - -Ask Ladislaw if he doesnt think your Captain the greatest bore he -ever met with. Ladislaw has almost forsaken the house since he came. - -Rosamond thought she knew perfectly well why Mr. Ladislaw disliked the -Captain: he was jealous, and she liked his being jealous. - -It is impossible to say what will suit eccentric persons, she -answered, but in my opinion Captain Lydgate is a thorough gentleman, -and I think you ought not, out of respect to Sir Godwin, to treat him -with neglect. - -No, dear; but we have had dinners for him. And he comes in and goes -out as he likes. He doesnt want me. - -Still, when he is in the room, you might show him more attention. He -may not be a phoenix of cleverness in your sense; his profession is -different; but it would be all the better for you to talk a little on -his subjects. _I_ think his conversation is quite agreeable. And he is -anything but an unprincipled man. - -The fact is, you would wish me to be a little more like him, Rosy, -said Lydgate, in a sort of resigned murmur, with a smile which was not -exactly tender, and certainly not merry. Rosamond was silent and did -not smile again; but the lovely curves of her face looked good-tempered -enough without smiling. - -Those words of Lydgates were like a sad milestone marking how far he -had travelled from his old dreamland, in which Rosamond Vincy appeared -to be that perfect piece of womanhood who would reverence her husbands -mind after the fashion of an accomplished mermaid, using her comb and -looking-glass and singing her song for the relaxation of his adored -wisdom alone. He had begun to distinguish between that imagined -adoration and the attraction towards a mans talent because it gives -him prestige, and is like an order in his button-hole or an Honorable -before his name. - -It might have been supposed that Rosamond had travelled too, since she -had found the pointless conversation of Mr. Ned Plymdale perfectly -wearisome; but to most mortals there is a stupidity which is -unendurable and a stupidity which is altogether acceptableelse, -indeed, what would become of social bonds? Captain Lydgates stupidity -was delicately scented, carried itself with style, talked with a good -accent, and was closely related to Sir Godwin. Rosamond found it quite -agreeable and caught many of its phrases. - -Therefore since Rosamond, as we know, was fond of horseback, there were -plenty of reasons why she should be tempted to resume her riding when -Captain Lydgate, who had ordered his man with two horses to follow him -and put up at the Green Dragon, begged her to go out on the gray -which he warranted to be gentle and trained to carry a ladyindeed, he -had bought it for his sister, and was taking it to Quallingham. -Rosamond went out the first time without telling her husband, and came -back before his return; but the ride had been so thorough a success, -and she declared herself so much the better in consequence, that he was -informed of it with full reliance on his consent that she should go -riding again. - -On the contrary Lydgate was more than hurthe was utterly confounded -that she had risked herself on a strange horse without referring the -matter to his wish. After the first almost thundering exclamations of -astonishment, which sufficiently warned Rosamond of what was coming, he -was silent for some moments. - -However, you have come back safely, he said, at last, in a decisive -tone. You will not go again, Rosy; that is understood. If it were the -quietest, most familiar horse in the world, there would always be the -chance of accident. And you know very well that I wished you to give up -riding the roan on that account. - -But there is the chance of accident indoors, Tertius. - -My darling, dont talk nonsense, said Lydgate, in an imploring tone; -surely I am the person to judge for you. I think it is enough that I -say you are not to go again. - -Rosamond was arranging her hair before dinner, and the reflection of -her head in the glass showed no change in its loveliness except a -little turning aside of the long neck. Lydgate had been moving about -with his hands in his pockets, and now paused near her, as if he -awaited some assurance. - -I wish you would fasten up my plaits, dear, said Rosamond, letting -her arms fall with a little sigh, so as to make a husband ashamed of -standing there like a brute. Lydgate had often fastened the plaits -before, being among the deftest of men with his large finely formed -fingers. He swept up the soft festoons of plaits and fastened in the -tall comb (to such uses do men come!); and what could he do then but -kiss the exquisite nape which was shown in all its delicate curves? But -when we do what we have done before, it is often with a difference. -Lydgate was still angry, and had not forgotten his point. - -I shall tell the Captain that he ought to have known better than offer -you his horse, he said, as he moved away. - -I beg you will not do anything of the kind, Tertius, said Rosamond, -looking at him with something more marked than usual in her speech. It -will be treating me as if I were a child. Promise that you will leave -the subject to me. - -There did seem to be some truth in her objection. Lydgate said, Very -well, with a surly obedience, and thus the discussion ended with his -promising Rosamond, and not with her promising him. - -In fact, she had been determined not to promise. Rosamond had that -victorious obstinacy which never wastes its energy in impetuous -resistance. What she liked to do was to her the right thing, and all -her cleverness was directed to getting the means of doing it. She meant -to go out riding again on the gray, and she did go on the next -opportunity of her husbands absence, not intending that he should know -until it was late enough not to signify to her. The temptation was -certainly great: she was very fond of the exercise, and the -gratification of riding on a fine horse, with Captain Lydgate, Sir -Godwins son, on another fine horse by her side, and of being met in -this position by any one but her husband, was something as good as her -dreams before marriage: moreover she was riveting the connection with -the family at Quallingham, which must be a wise thing to do. - -But the gentle gray, unprepared for the crash of a tree that was being -felled on the edge of Halsell wood, took fright, and caused a worse -fright to Rosamond, leading finally to the loss of her baby. Lydgate -could not show his anger towards her, but he was rather bearish to the -Captain, whose visit naturally soon came to an end. - -In all future conversations on the subject, Rosamond was mildly certain -that the ride had made no difference, and that if she had stayed at -home the same symptoms would have come on and would have ended in the -same way, because she had felt something like them before. - -Lydgate could only say, Poor, poor darling!but he secretly wondered -over the terrible tenacity of this mild creature. There was gathering -within him an amazed sense of his powerlessness over Rosamond. His -superior knowledge and mental force, instead of being, as he had -imagined, a shrine to consult on all occasions, was simply set aside on -every practical question. He had regarded Rosamonds cleverness as -precisely of the receptive kind which became a woman. He was now -beginning to find out what that cleverness waswhat was the shape into -which it had run as into a close network aloof and independent. No one -quicker than Rosamond to see causes and effects which lay within the -track of her own tastes and interests: she had seen clearly Lydgates -preeminence in Middlemarch society, and could go on imaginatively -tracing still more agreeable social effects when his talent should have -advanced him; but for her, his professional and scientific ambition had -no other relation to these desirable effects than if they had been the -fortunate discovery of an ill-smelling oil. And that oil apart, with -which she had nothing to do, of course she believed in her own opinion -more than she did in his. Lydgate was astounded to find in numberless -trifling matters, as well as in this last serious case of the riding, -that affection did not make her compliant. He had no doubt that the -affection was there, and had no presentiment that he had done anything -to repel it. For his own part he said to himself that he loved her as -tenderly as ever, and could make up his mind to her negations; -butwell! Lydgate was much worried, and conscious of new elements in -his life as noxious to him as an inlet of mud to a creature that has -been used to breathe and bathe and dart after its illuminated prey in -the clearest of waters. - -Rosamond was soon looking lovelier than ever at her worktable, enjoying -drives in her fathers phaeton and thinking it likely that she might be -invited to Quallingham. She knew that she was a much more exquisite -ornament to the drawing-room there than any daughter of the family, and -in reflecting that the gentlemen were aware of that, did not perhaps -sufficiently consider whether the ladies would be eager to see -themselves surpassed. - -Lydgate, relieved from anxiety about her, relapsed into what she -inwardly called his moodinessa name which to her covered his -thoughtful preoccupation with other subjects than herself, as well as -that uneasy look of the brow and distaste for all ordinary things as if -they were mixed with bitter herbs, which really made a sort of -weather-glass to his vexation and foreboding. These latter states of -mind had one cause amongst others, which he had generously but -mistakenly avoided mentioning to Rosamond, lest it should affect her -health and spirits. Between him and her indeed there was that total -missing of each others mental track, which is too evidently possible -even between persons who are continually thinking of each other. To -Lydgate it seemed that he had been spending month after month in -sacrificing more than half of his best intent and best power to his -tenderness for Rosamond; bearing her little claims and interruptions -without impatience, and, above all, bearing without betrayal of -bitterness to look through less and less of interfering illusion at the -blank unreflecting surface her mind presented to his ardor for the more -impersonal ends of his profession and his scientific study, an ardor -which he had fancied that the ideal wife must somehow worship as -sublime, though not in the least knowing why. But his endurance was -mingled with a self-discontent which, if we know how to be candid, we -shall confess to make more than half our bitterness under grievances, -wife or husband included. It always remains true that if we had been -greater, circumstance would have been less strong against us. Lydgate -was aware that his concessions to Rosamond were often little more than -the lapse of slackening resolution, the creeping paralysis apt to seize -an enthusiasm which is out of adjustment to a constant portion of our -lives. And on Lydgates enthusiasm there was constantly pressing not a -simple weight of sorrow, but the biting presence of a petty degrading -care, such as casts the blight of irony over all higher effort. - -This was the care which he had hitherto abstained from mentioning to -Rosamond; and he believed, with some wonder, that it had never entered -her mind, though certainly no difficulty could be less mysterious. It -was an inference with a conspicuous handle to it, and had been easily -drawn by indifferent observers, that Lydgate was in debt; and he could -not succeed in keeping out of his mind for long together that he was -every day getting deeper into that swamp, which tempts men towards it -with such a pretty covering of flowers and verdure. It is wonderful how -soon a man gets up to his chin therein a condition in which, in spite -of himself, he is forced to think chiefly of release, though he had a -scheme of the universe in his soul. - -Eighteen months ago Lydgate was poor, but had never known the eager -want of small sums, and felt rather a burning contempt for any one who -descended a step in order to gain them. He was now experiencing -something worse than a simple deficit: he was assailed by the vulgar -hateful trials of a man who has bought and used a great many things -which might have been done without, and which he is unable to pay for, -though the demand for payment has become pressing. - -How this came about may be easily seen without much arithmetic or -knowledge of prices. When a man in setting up a house and preparing for -marriage finds that his furniture and other initial expenses come to -between four and five hundred pounds more than he has capital to pay -for; when at the end of a year it appears that his household expenses, -horses and et caeteras, amount to nearly a thousand, while the proceeds -of the practice reckoned from the old books to be worth eight hundred -per annum have sunk like a summer pond and make hardly five hundred, -chiefly in unpaid entries, the plain inference is that, whether he -minds it or not, he is in debt. Those were less expensive times than -our own, and provincial life was comparatively modest; but the ease -with which a medical man who had lately bought a practice, who thought -that he was obliged to keep two horses, whose table was supplied -without stint, and who paid an insurance on his life and a high rent -for house and garden, might find his expenses doubling his receipts, -can be conceived by any one who does not think these details beneath -his consideration. Rosamond, accustomed from her childhood to an -extravagant household, thought that good housekeeping consisted simply -in ordering the best of everythingnothing else answered; and Lydgate -supposed that if things were done at all, they must be done -properlyhe did not see how they were to live otherwise. If each head -of household expenditure had been mentioned to him beforehand, he would -have probably observed that it could hardly come to much, and if any -one had suggested a saving on a particular articlefor example, the -substitution of cheap fish for dearit would have appeared to him -simply a penny-wise, mean notion. Rosamond, even without such an -occasion as Captain Lydgates visit, was fond of giving invitations, -and Lydgate, though he often thought the guests tiresome, did not -interfere. This sociability seemed a necessary part of professional -prudence, and the entertainment must be suitable. It is true Lydgate -was constantly visiting the homes of the poor and adjusting his -prescriptions of diet to their small means; but, dear me! has it not by -this time ceased to be remarkableis it not rather that we expect in -men, that they should have numerous strands of experience lying side by -side and never compare them with each other? Expenditurelike ugliness -and errorsbecomes a totally new thing when we attach our own -personality to it, and measure it by that wide difference which is -manifest (in our own sensations) between ourselves and others. Lydgate -believed himself to be careless about his dress, and he despised a man -who calculated the effects of his costume; it seemed to him only a -matter of course that he had abundance of fresh garmentssuch things -were naturally ordered in sheaves. It must be remembered that he had -never hitherto felt the check of importunate debt, and he walked by -habit, not by self-criticism. But the check had come. - -Its novelty made it the more irritating. He was amazed, disgusted that -conditions so foreign to all his purposes, so hatefully disconnected -with the objects he cared to occupy himself with, should have lain in -ambush and clutched him when he was unaware. And there was not only the -actual debt; there was the certainty that in his present position he -must go on deepening it. Two furnishing tradesmen at Brassing, whose -bills had been incurred before his marriage, and whom uncalculated -current expenses had ever since prevented him from paying, had -repeatedly sent him unpleasant letters which had forced themselves on -his attention. This could hardly have been more galling to any -disposition than to Lydgates, with his intense pridehis dislike of -asking a favor or being under an obligation to any one. He had scorned -even to form conjectures about Mr. Vincys intentions on money matters, -and nothing but extremity could have induced him to apply to his -father-in-law, even if he had not been made aware in various indirect -ways since his marriage that Mr. Vincys own affairs were not -flourishing, and that the expectation of help from him would be -resented. Some men easily trust in the readiness of friends; it had -never in the former part of his life occurred to Lydgate that he should -need to do so: he had never thought what borrowing would be to him; but -now that the idea had entered his mind, he felt that he would rather -incur any other hardship. In the mean time he had no money or prospects -of money; and his practice was not getting more lucrative. - -No wonder that Lydgate had been unable to suppress all signs of inward -trouble during the last few months, and now that Rosamond was regaining -brilliant health, he meditated taking her entirely into confidence on -his difficulties. New conversance with tradesmens bills had forced his -reasoning into a new channel of comparison: he had begun to consider -from a new point of view what was necessary and unnecessary in goods -ordered, and to see that there must be some change of habits. How could -such a change be made without Rosamonds concurrence? The immediate -occasion of opening the disagreeable fact to her was forced upon him. - -Having no money, and having privately sought advice as to what security -could possibly be given by a man in his position, Lydgate had offered -the one good security in his power to the less peremptory creditor, who -was a silversmith and jeweller, and who consented to take on himself -the upholsterers credit also, accepting interest for a given term. The -security necessary was a bill of sale on the furniture of his house, -which might make a creditor easy for a reasonable time about a debt -amounting to less than four hundred pounds; and the silversmith, Mr. -Dover, was willing to reduce it by taking back a portion of the plate -and any other article which was as good as new. Any other article was -a phrase delicately implying jewellery, and more particularly some -purple amethysts costing thirty pounds, which Lydgate had bought as a -bridal present. - -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 Lydgates 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 Rosamonds neck and arms could -hardly appear excessive when there was no ready cash for it to exceed. -But at this crisis Lydgates imagination could not help dwelling on the -possibility of letting the amethysts take their place again among Mr. -Dovers 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 Ladislaws -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. - -Tea is coming, said Rosamond; pray dont go. - -Yes, Lydgate is bored, said Will, who had more comprehension of -Lydgate than Rosamond had, and was not offended by his manner, easily -imagining outdoor causes of annoyance. - -There is the more need for you to stay, said Rosamond, playfully, and -in her lightest accent; he will not speak to me all the evening. - -Yes, Rosamond, I shall, said Lydgate, in his strong baritone. I have -some serious business to speak to you about. - -No introduction of the business could have been less like that which -Lydgate had intended; but her indifferent manner had been too -provoking. - -There! you see, said Will. Im going to the meeting about the -Mechanics Institute. Good-by; and he went quickly out of the room. - -Rosamond did not look at her husband, but presently rose and took her -place before the tea-tray. She was thinking that she had never seen him -so disagreeable. Lydgate turned his dark eyes on her and watched her as -she delicately handled the tea-service with her taper fingers, and -looked at the objects immediately before her with no curve in her face -disturbed, and yet with an ineffable protest in her air against all -people with unpleasant manners. For the moment he lost the sense of his -wound in a sudden speculation about this new form of feminine -impassibility revealing itself in the sylph-like frame which he had -once interpreted as the sign of a ready intelligent sensitiveness. His -mind glancing back to Laure while he looked at Rosamond, he said -inwardly, Would _she_ kill me because I wearied her? and then, It is -the way with all women. But this power of generalizing which gives men -so much the superiority in mistake over the dumb animals, was -immediately thwarted by Lydgates memory of wondering impressions from -the behavior of another womanfrom Dorotheas looks and tones of -emotion about her husband when Lydgate began to attend himfrom her -passionate cry to be taught what would best comfort that man for whose -sake it seemed as if she must quell every impulse in her except the -yearnings of faithfulness and compassion. These revived impressions -succeeded each other quickly and dreamily in Lydgates mind while the -tea was being brewed. He had shut his eyes in the last instant of -reverie while he heard Dorothea saying, Advise methink what I can -dohe has been all his life laboring and looking forward. He minds -about nothing elseand I mind about nothing else. - -That voice of deep-souled womanhood had remained within him as the -enkindling conceptions of dead and sceptred genius had remained within -him (is there not a genius for feeling nobly which also reigns over -human spirits and their conclusions?); the tones were a music from -which he was falling awayhe had really fallen into a momentary doze, -when Rosamond said in her silvery neutral way, Here is your tea, -Tertius, setting it on the small table by his side, and then moved -back to her place without looking at him. Lydgate was too hasty in -attributing insensibility to her; after her own fashion, she was -sensitive enough, and took lasting impressions. Her impression now was -one of offence and repulsion. But then, Rosamond had no scowls and had -never raised her voice: she was quite sure that no one could justly -find fault with her. - -Perhaps Lydgate and she had never felt so far off each other before; -but there were strong reasons for not deferring his revelation, even if -he had not already begun it by that abrupt announcement; indeed some of -the angry desire to rouse her into more sensibility on his account -which had prompted him to speak prematurely, still mingled with his -pain in the prospect of her pain. But he waited till the tray was gone, -the candles were lit, and the evening quiet might be counted on: the -interval had left time for repelled tenderness to return into the old -course. He spoke kindly. - -Dear Rosy, lay down your work and come to sit by me, he said, gently, -pushing away the table, and stretching out his arm to draw a chair near -his own. - -Rosamond obeyed. As she came towards him in her drapery of transparent -faintly tinted muslin, her slim yet round figure never looked more -graceful; as she sat down by him and laid one hand on the elbow of his -chair, at last looking at him and meeting his eyes, her delicate neck -and cheek and purely cut lips never had more of that untarnished beauty -which touches as in spring-time and infancy and all sweet freshness. It -touched Lydgate now, and mingled the early moments of his love for her -with all the other memories which were stirred in this crisis of deep -trouble. He laid his ample hand softly on hers, saying - -Dear! with the lingering utterance which affection gives to the word. -Rosamond too was still under the power of that same past, and her -husband was still in part the Lydgate whose approval had stirred -delight. She put his hair lightly away from his forehead, then laid her -other hand on his, and was conscious of forgiving him. - -I am obliged to tell you what will hurt you, Rosy. But there are -things which husband and wife must think of together. I dare say it has -occurred to you already that I am short of money. - -Lydgate paused; but Rosamond turned her neck and looked at a vase on -the mantel-piece. - -I was not able to pay for all the things we had to get before we were -married, and there have been expenses since which I have been obliged -to meet. The consequence is, there is a large debt at Brassingthree -hundred and eighty poundswhich has been pressing on me a good while, -and in fact we are getting deeper every day, for people dont pay me -the faster because others want the money. I took pains to keep it from -you while you were not well; but now we must think together about it, -and you must help me. - -What can _I_ do, Tertius? said Rosamond, turning her eyes on him -again. That little speech of four words, like so many others in all -languages, is capable by varied vocal inflections of expressing all -states of mind from helpless dimness to exhaustive argumentative -perception, from the completest self-devoting fellowship to the most -neutral aloofness. Rosamonds thin utterance threw into the words What -canIdo! as much neutrality as they could hold. They fell like a -mortal chill on Lydgates roused tenderness. He did not storm in -indignationhe felt too sad a sinking of the heart. And when he spoke -again it was more in the tone of a man who forces himself to fulfil a -task. - -It is necessary for you to know, because I have to give security for a -time, and a man must come to make an inventory of the furniture. - -Rosamond colored deeply. Have you not asked papa for money? she said, -as soon as she could speak. - -No. - -Then I must ask him! she said, releasing her hands from Lydgates, -and rising to stand at two yards distance from him. - -No, Rosy, said Lydgate, decisively. It is too late to do that. The -inventory will be begun to-morrow. Remember it is a mere security: it -will make no difference: it is a temporary affair. I insist upon it -that your father shall not know, unless I choose to tell him, added -Lydgate, with a more peremptory emphasis. - -This certainly was unkind, but Rosamond had thrown him back on evil -expectation as to what she would do in the way of quiet steady -disobedience. The unkindness seemed unpardonable to her: she was not -given to weeping and disliked it, but now her chin and lips began to -tremble and the tears welled up. Perhaps it was not possible for -Lydgate, under the double stress of outward material difficulty and of -his own proud resistance to humiliating consequences, to imagine fully -what this sudden trial was to a young creature who had known nothing -but indulgence, and whose dreams had all been of new indulgence, more -exactly to her taste. But he did wish to spare her as much as he could, -and her tears cut him to the heart. He could not speak again -immediately; but Rosamond did not go on sobbing: she tried to conquer -her agitation and wiped away her tears, continuing to look before her -at the mantel-piece. - -Try not to grieve, darling, said Lydgate, turning his eyes up towards -her. That she had chosen to move away from him in this moment of her -trouble made everything harder to say, but he must absolutely go on. -We must brace ourselves to do what is necessary. It is I who have been -in fault: I ought to have seen that I could not afford to live in this -way. But many things have told against me in my practice, and it really -just now has ebbed to a low point. I may recover it, but in the mean -time we must pull upwe must change our way of living. We shall weather -it. When I have given this security I shall have time to look about me; -and you are so clever that if you turn your mind to managing you will -school me into carefulness. I have been a thoughtless rascal about -squaring pricesbut come, dear, sit down and forgive me. - -Lydgate was bowing his neck under the yoke like a creature who had -talons, but who had Reason too, which often reduces us to meekness. -When he had spoken the last words in an imploring tone, Rosamond -returned to the chair by his side. His self-blame gave her some hope -that he would attend to her opinion, and she said - -Why can you not put off having the inventory made? You can send the -men away to-morrow when they come. - -I shall not send them away, said Lydgate, the peremptoriness rising -again. Was it of any use to explain? - -If we left Middlemarch? there would of course be a sale, and that -would do as well. - -But we are not going to leave Middlemarch. - -I am sure, Tertius, it would be much better to do so. Why can we not -go to London? Or near Durham, where your family is known? - -We can go nowhere without money, Rosamond. - -Your friends would not wish you to be without money. And surely these -odious tradesmen might be made to understand that, and to wait, if you -would make proper representations to them. - -This is idle Rosamond, said Lydgate, angrily. You must learn to take -my judgment on questions you dont understand. I have made necessary -arrangements, and they must be carried out. As to friends, I have no -expectations whatever from them, and shall not ask them for anything. - -Rosamond sat perfectly still. The thought in her mind was that if she -had known how Lydgate would behave, she would never have married him. - -We have no time to waste now on unnecessary words, dear, said -Lydgate, trying to be gentle again. There are some details that I want -to consider with you. Dover says he will take a good deal of the plate -back again, and any of the jewellery we like. He really behaves very -well. - -Are we to go without spoons and forks then? said Rosamond, whose very -lips seemed to get thinner with the thinness of her utterance. She was -determined to make no further resistance or suggestions. - -Oh no, dear! said Lydgate. But look here, he continued, drawing a -paper from his pocket and opening it; here is Dovers account. See, I -have marked a number of articles, which if we returned them would -reduce the amount by thirty pounds and more. I have not marked any of -the jewellery. Lydgate had really felt this point of the jewellery -very bitter to himself; but he had overcome the feeling by severe -argument. He could not propose to Rosamond that she should return any -particular present of his, but he had told himself that he was bound to -put Dovers offer before her, and her inward prompting might make the -affair easy. - -It is useless for me to look, Tertius, said Rosamond, calmly; you -will return what you please. She would not turn her eyes on the paper, -and Lydgate, flushing up to the roots of his hair, drew it back and let -it fall on his knee. Meanwhile Rosamond quietly went out of the room, -leaving Lydgate helpless and wondering. Was she not coming back? It -seemed that she had no more identified herself with him than if they -had been creatures of different species and opposing interests. He -tossed his head and thrust his hands deep into his pockets with a sort -of vengeance. There was still sciencethere were still good objects to -work for. He must give a tug stillall the stronger because other -satisfactions were going. - -But the door opened and Rosamond re-entered. She carried the leather -box containing the amethysts, and a tiny ornamental basket which -contained other boxes, and laying them on the chair where she had been -sitting, she said, with perfect propriety in her air - -This is all the jewellery you ever gave me. You can return what you -like of it, and of the plate also. You will not, of course, expect me -to stay at home to-morrow. I shall go to papas. - -To many women the look Lydgate cast at her would have been more -terrible than one of anger: it had in it a despairing acceptance of the -distance she was placing between them. - -And when shall you come back again? he said, with a bitter edge on -his accent. - -Oh, in the evening. Of course I shall not mention the subject to -mamma. Rosamond was convinced that no woman could behave more -irreproachably than she was behaving; and she went to sit down at her -work-table. Lydgate sat meditating a minute or two, and the result was -that he said, with some of the old emotion in his tone - -Now we have been united, Rosy, you should not leave me to myself in -the first trouble that has come. - -Certainly not, said Rosamond; I shall do everything it becomes me to -do. - -It is not right that the thing should be left to servants, or that I -should have to speak to them about it. And I shall be obliged to go -outI dont know how early. I understand your shrinking from the -humiliation of these money affairs. But, my dear Rosamond, as a -question of pride, which I feel just as much as you can, it is surely -better to manage the thing ourselves, and let the servants see as -little of it as possible; and since you are my wife, there is no -hindering your share in my disgracesif there were disgraces. - -Rosamond did not answer immediately, but at last she said, Very well, -I will stay at home. - -I shall not touch these jewels, Rosy. Take them away again. But I will -write out a list of plate that we may return, and that can be packed up -and sent at once. - -The servants will know _that_, said Rosamond, with the slightest -touch of sarcasm. - -Well, we must meet some disagreeables as necessities. Where is the -ink, I wonder? said Lydgate, rising, and throwing the account on the -larger table where he meant to write. - -Rosamond went to reach the inkstand, and after setting it on the table -was going to turn away, when Lydgate, who was standing close by, put -his arm round her and drew her towards him, saying - -Come, darling, let us make the best of things. It will only be for a -time, I hope, that we shall have to be stingy and particular. Kiss me. - -His native warm-heartedness took a great deal of quenching, and it is a -part of manliness for a husband to feel keenly the fact that an -inexperienced girl has got into trouble by marrying him. She received -his kiss and returned it faintly, and in this way an appearance of -accord was recovered for the time. But Lydgate could not help looking -forward with dread to the inevitable future discussions about -expenditure and the necessity for a complete change in their way of -living. - - - - -CHAPTER LIX. - -They said of old the Soul had human shape, -But smaller, subtler than the fleshly self, -So wandered forth for airing when it pleased. -And see! beside her cherub-face there floats -A pale-lipped form aerial whispering -Its promptings in that little shell her ear. - - -News is often dispersed as thoughtlessly and effectively as that pollen -which the bees carry off (having no idea how powdery they are) when -they are buzzing in search of their particular nectar. This fine -comparison has reference to Fred Vincy, who on that evening at Lowick -Parsonage heard a lively discussion among the ladies on the news which -their old servant had got from Tantripp concerning Mr. Casaubons -strange mention of Mr. Ladislaw in a codicil to his will made not long -before his death. Miss Winifred was astounded to find that her brother -had known the fact before, and observed that Camden was the most -wonderful man for knowing things and not telling them; whereupon Mary -Garth said that the codicil had perhaps got mixed up with the habits of -spiders, which Miss Winifred never would listen to. Mrs. Farebrother -considered that the news had something to do with their having only -once seen Mr. Ladislaw at Lowick, and Miss Noble made many small -compassionate mewings. - -Fred knew little and cared less about Ladislaw and the Casaubons, and -his mind never recurred to that discussion till one day calling on -Rosamond at his mothers request to deliver a message as he passed, he -happened to see Ladislaw going away. Fred and Rosamond had little to -say to each other now that marriage had removed her from collision with -the unpleasantness of brothers, and especially now that he had taken -what she held the stupid and even reprehensible step of giving up the -Church to take to such a business as Mr. Garths. Hence Fred talked by -preference of what he considered indifferent news, and a propos of -that young Ladislaw mentioned what he had heard at Lowick Parsonage. - -Now Lydgate, like Mr. Farebrother, knew a great deal more than he told, -and when he had once been set thinking about the relation between Will -and Dorothea his conjectures had gone beyond the fact. He imagined that -there was a passionate attachment on both sides, and this struck him as -much too serious to gossip about. He remembered Wills irritability -when he had mentioned Mrs. Casaubon, and was the more circumspect. On -the whole his surmises, in addition to what he knew of the fact, -increased his friendliness and tolerance towards Ladislaw, and made him -understand the vacillation which kept him at Middlemarch after he had -said that he should go away. It was significant of the separateness -between Lydgates mind and Rosamonds that he had no impulse to speak -to her on the subject; indeed, he did not quite trust her reticence -towards Will. And he was right there; though he had no vision of the -way in which her mind would act in urging her to speak. - -When she repeated Freds news to Lydgate, he said, Take care you dont -drop the faintest hint to Ladislaw, Rosy. He is likely to fly out as if -you insulted him. Of course it is a painful affair. - -Rosamond turned her neck and patted her hair, looking the image of -placid indifference. But the next time Will came when Lydgate was away, -she spoke archly about his not going to London as he had threatened. - -I know all about it. I have a confidential little bird, said she, -showing very pretty airs of her head over the bit of work held high -between her active fingers. There is a powerful magnet in this -neighborhood. - -To be sure there is. Nobody knows that better than you, said Will, -with light gallantry, but inwardly prepared to be angry. - -It is really the most charming romance: Mr. Casaubon jealous, and -foreseeing that there was no one else whom Mrs. Casaubon would so much -like to marry, and no one who would so much like to marry her as a -certain gentleman; and then laying a plan to spoil all by making her -forfeit her property if she did marry that gentlemanand thenand -thenand thenoh, I have no doubt the end will be thoroughly romantic. - -Great God! what do you mean? said Will, flushing over face and ears, -his features seeming to change as if he had had a violent shake. Dont -joke; tell me what you mean. - -You dont really know? said Rosamond, no longer playful, and desiring -nothing better than to tell in order that she might evoke effects. - -No! he returned, impatiently. - -Dont know that Mr. Casaubon has left it in his will that if Mrs. -Casaubon marries you she is to forfeit all her property? - -How do you know that it is true? said Will, eagerly. - -My brother Fred heard it from the Farebrothers. Will started up from -his chair and reached his hat. - -I dare say she likes you better than the property, said Rosamond, -looking at him from a distance. - -Pray dont say any more about it, said Will, in a hoarse undertone -extremely unlike his usual light voice. It is a foul insult to her and -to me. Then he sat down absently, looking before him, but seeing -nothing. - -Now you are angry with _me_, said Rosamond. It is too bad to bear -_me_ malice. You ought to be obliged to me for telling you. - -So I am, said Will, abruptly, speaking with that kind of double soul -which belongs to dreamers who answer questions. - -I expect to hear of the marriage, said Rosamond, playfully. - -Never! You will never hear of the marriage! - -With those words uttered impetuously, Will rose, put out his hand to -Rosamond, still with the air of a somnambulist, and went away. - -When he was gone, Rosamond left her chair and walked to the other end -of the room, leaning when she got there against a chiffonniere, and -looking out of the window wearily. She was oppressed by ennui, and by -that dissatisfaction which in womens minds is continually turning into -a trivial jealousy, referring to no real claims, springing from no -deeper passion than the vague exactingness of egoism, and yet capable -of impelling action as well as speech. There really is nothing to care -for much, said poor Rosamond inwardly, thinking of the family at -Quallingham, who did not write to her; and that perhaps Tertius when he -came home would tease her about expenses. She had already secretly -disobeyed him by asking her father to help them, and he had ended -decisively by saying, I am more likely to want help myself. - - - - -CHAPTER LX. - -Good phrases are surely, and ever were, very commendable. -_Justice Shallow_. - - -A few days afterwardsit was already the end of Augustthere was an -occasion which caused some excitement in Middlemarch: the public, if it -chose, was to have the advantage of buying, under the distinguished -auspices of Mr. Borthrop Trumbull, the furniture, books, and pictures -which anybody might see by the handbills to be the best in every kind, -belonging to Edwin Larcher, Esq. This was not one of the sales -indicating the depression of trade; on the contrary, it was due to Mr. -Larchers great success in the carrying business, which warranted his -purchase of a mansion near Riverston already furnished in high style by -an illustrious Spa physicianfurnished indeed with such large framefuls -of expensive flesh-painting in the dining-room, that Mrs. Larcher was -nervous until reassured by finding the subjects to be Scriptural. Hence -the fine opportunity to purchasers which was well pointed out in the -handbills of Mr. Borthrop Trumbull, whose acquaintance with the history -of art enabled him to state that the hall furniture, to be sold without -reserve, comprised a piece of carving by a contemporary of Gibbons. - -At Middlemarch in those times a large sale was regarded as a kind of -festival. There was a table spread with the best cold eatables, as at a -superior funeral; and facilities were offered for that -generous-drinking of cheerful glasses which might lead to generous and -cheerful bidding for undesirable articles. Mr. Larchers sale was the -more attractive in the fine weather because the house stood just at the -end of the town, with a garden and stables attached, in that pleasant -issue from Middlemarch called the London Road, which was also the road -to the New Hospital and to Mr. Bulstrodes retired residence, known as -the Shrubs. In short, the auction was as good as a fair, and drew all -classes with leisure at command: to some, who risked making bids in -order simply to raise prices, it was almost equal to betting at the -races. The second day, when the best furniture was to be sold, -everybody was there; even Mr. Thesiger, the rector of St. Peters, -had looked in for a short time, wishing to buy the carved table, and -had rubbed elbows with Mr. Bambridge and Mr. Horrock. There was a -wreath of Middlemarch ladies accommodated with seats round the large -table in the dining-room, where Mr. Borthrop Trumbull was mounted with -desk and hammer; but the rows chiefly of masculine faces behind were -often varied by incomings and outgoings both from the door and the -large bow-window opening on to the lawn. - -Everybody that day did not include Mr. Bulstrode, whose health could -not well endure crowds and draughts. But Mrs. Bulstrode had -particularly wished to have a certain picturea Supper at Emmaus, -attributed in the catalogue to Guido; and at the last moment before the -day of the sale Mr. Bulstrode had called at the office of the -Pioneer, of which he was now one of the proprietors, to beg of Mr. -Ladislaw as a great favor that he would obligingly use his remarkable -knowledge of pictures on behalf of Mrs. Bulstrode, and judge of the -value of this particular paintingif, added the scrupulously polite -banker, attendance at the sale would not interfere with the -arrangements for your departure, which I know is imminent. - -This proviso might have sounded rather satirically in Wills ear if he -had been in a mood to care about such satire. It referred to an -understanding entered into many weeks before with the proprietors of -the paper, that he should be at liberty any day he pleased to hand over -the management to the subeditor whom he had been training; since he -wished finally to quit Middlemarch. But indefinite visions of ambition -are weak against the ease of doing what is habitual or beguilingly -agreeable; and we all know the difficulty of carrying out a resolve -when we secretly long that it may turn out to be unnecessary. In such -states of mind the most incredulous person has a private leaning -towards miracle: impossible to conceive how our wish could be -fulfilled, stillvery wonderful things have happened! Will did not -confess this weakness to himself, but he lingered. What was the use of -going to London at that time of the year? The Rugby men who would -remember him were not there; and so far as political writing was -concerned, he would rather for a few weeks go on with the Pioneer. At -the present moment, however, when Mr. Bulstrode was speaking to him, he -had both a strengthened resolve to go and an equally strong resolve not -to go till he had once more seen Dorothea. Hence he replied that he had -reasons for deferring his departure a little, and would be happy to go -to the sale. - -Will was in a defiant mood, his consciousness being deeply stung with -the thought that the people who looked at him probably knew a fact -tantamount to an accusation against him as a fellow with low designs -which were to be frustrated by a disposal of property. Like most people -who assert their freedom with regard to conventional distinction, he -was prepared to be sudden and quick at quarrel with any one who might -hint that he had personal reasons for that assertionthat there was -anything in his blood, his bearing, or his character to which he gave -the mask of an opinion. When he was under an irritating impression of -this kind he would go about for days with a defiant look, the color -changing in his transparent skin as if he were on the _qui vive_, -watching for something which he had to dart upon. - -This expression was peculiarly noticeable in him at the sale, and those -who had only seen him in his moods of gentle oddity or of bright -enjoyment would have been struck with a contrast. He was not sorry to -have this occasion for appearing in public before the Middlemarch -tribes of Toller, Hackbutt, and the rest, who looked down on him as an -adventurer, and were in a state of brutal ignorance about Dantewho -sneered at his Polish blood, and were themselves of a breed very much -in need of crossing. He stood in a conspicuous place not far from the -auctioneer, with a fore-finger in each side-pocket and his head thrown -backward, not caring to speak to anybody, though he had been cordially -welcomed as a connoiss_ure_ by Mr. Trumbull, who was enjoying the -utmost activity of his great faculties. - -And surely among all men whose vocation requires them to exhibit their -powers of speech, the happiest is a prosperous provincial auctioneer -keenly alive to his own jokes and sensible of his encyclopedic -knowledge. Some saturnine, sour-blooded persons might object to be -constantly insisting on the merits of all articles from boot-jacks to -Berghems; but Mr. Borthrop Trumbull had a kindly liquid in his veins; -he was an admirer by nature, and would have liked to have the universe -under his hammer, feeling that it would go at a higher figure for his -recommendation. - -Meanwhile Mrs. Larchers drawing-room furniture was enough for him. -When Will Ladislaw had come in, a second fender, said to have been -forgotten in its right place, suddenly claimed the auctioneers -enthusiasm, which he distributed on the equitable principle of praising -those things most which were most in need of praise. The fender was of -polished steel, with much lancet-shaped open-work and a sharp edge. - -Now, ladies, said he, I shall appeal to you. Here is a fender which -at any other sale would hardly be offered with out reserve, being, as I -may say, for quality of steel and quaintness of design, a kind of -thinghere Mr. Trumbull dropped his voice and became slightly nasal, -trimming his outlines with his left fingerthat might not fall in with -ordinary tastes. Allow me to tell you that by-and-by this style of -workmanship will be the only one in voguehalf-a-crown, you said? thank -yougoing at half-a-crown, this characteristic fender; and I have -particular information that the antique style is very much sought after -in high quarters. Three shillingsthree-and-sixpencehold it well up, -Joseph! Look, ladies, at the chastity of the designI have no doubt -myself that it was turned out in the last century! Four shillings, Mr. -Mawmsey?four shillings. - -Its not a thing I would put in _my_ drawing-room, said Mrs. Mawmsey, -audibly, for the warning of the rash husband. I wonder _at_ Mrs. -Larcher. Every blessed childs head that fell against it would be cut -in two. The edge is like a knife. - -Quite true, rejoined Mr. Trumbull, quickly, and most uncommonly -useful to have a fender at hand that will cut, if you have a leather -shoe-tie or a bit of string that wants cutting and no knife at hand: -many a man has been left hanging because there was no knife to cut him -down. Gentlemen, heres a fender that if you had the misfortune to hang -yourselves would cut you down in no timewith astonishing -celerityfour-and-sixpencefivefive-and-sixpencean appropriate thing -for a spare bedroom where there was a four-poster and a guest a little -out of his mindsix shillingsthank you, Mr. Clintupgoing at six -shillingsgoinggone! The auctioneers glance, which had been -searching round him with a preternatural susceptibility to all signs of -bidding, here dropped on the paper before him, and his voice too -dropped into a tone of indifferent despatch as he said, Mr. Clintup. -Be handy, Joseph. - -It was worth six shillings to have a fender you could always tell that -joke on, said Mr. Clintup, laughing low and apologetically to his next -neighbor. He was a diffident though distinguished nurseryman, and -feared that the audience might regard his bid as a foolish one. - -Meanwhile Joseph had brought a trayful of small articles. Now, -ladies, said Mr. Trumbull, taking up one of the articles, this tray -contains a very recherchy lota collection of trifles for the -drawing-room tableand trifles make the sum _of_ human thingsnothing -more important than trifles(yes, Mr. Ladislaw, yes, by-and-by)but -pass the tray round, Josephthese bijoux must be examined, ladies. This -I have in my hand is an ingenious contrivancea sort of practical -rebus, I may call it: here, you see, it looks like an elegant -heart-shaped box, portablefor the pocket; there, again, it becomes -like a splendid double floweran ornament for the table; and nowMr. -Trumbull allowed the flower to fall alarmingly into strings of -heart-shaped leavesa book of riddles! No less than five hundred -printed in a beautiful red. Gentlemen, if I had less of a conscience, I -should not wish you to bid high for this lotI have a longing for it -myself. What can promote innocent mirth, and I may say virtue, more -than a good riddle?it hinders profane language, and attaches a man to -the society of refined females. This ingenious article itself, without -the elegant domino-box, card-basket, &c., ought alone to give a high -price to the lot. Carried in the pocket it might make an individual -welcome in any society. Four shillings, sir?four shillings for this -remarkable collection of riddles with the et caeteras. Here is a -sample: How must you spell honey to make it catch lady-birds? -Answermoney. You hear?lady-birdshoney money. This is an amusement -to sharpen the intellect; it has a stingit has what we call satire, -and wit without indecency. Four-and-sixpencefive shillings. - -The bidding ran on with warming rivalry. Mr. Bowyer was a bidder, and -this was too exasperating. Bowyer couldnt afford it, and only wanted -to hinder every other man from making a figure. The current carried -even Mr. Horrock with it, but this committal of himself to an opinion -fell from him with so little sacrifice of his neutral expression, that -the bid might not have been detected as his but for the friendly oaths -of Mr. Bambridge, who wanted to know what Horrock would do with blasted -stuff only fit for haberdashers given over to that state of perdition -which the horse-dealer so cordially recognized in the majority of -earthly existences. The lot was finally knocked down at a guinea to Mr. -Spilkins, a young Slender of the neighborhood, who was reckless with -his pocket-money and felt his want of memory for riddles. - -Come, Trumbull, this is too badyouve been putting some old maids -rubbish into the sale, murmured Mr. Toller, getting close to the -auctioneer. I want to see how the prints go, and I must be off soon. - -_Im_mediately, Mr. Toller. It was only an act of benevolence which -your noble heart would approve. Joseph! quick with the printsLot 235. -Now, gentlemen, you who are connoiss_ures_, you are going to have a -treat. Here is an engraving of the Duke of Wellington surrounded by his -staff on the Field of Waterloo; and notwithstanding recent events which -have, as it were, enveloped our great Hero in a cloud, I will be bold -to sayfor a man in my line must not be blown about by political -windsthat a finer subjectof the modern order, belonging to our own -time and epochthe understanding of man could hardly conceive: angels -might, perhaps, but not men, sirs, not men. - -Who painted it? said Mr. Powderell, much impressed. - -It is a proof before the letter, Mr. Powderellthe painter is not -known, answered Trumbull, with a certain gaspingness in his last -words, after which he pursed up his lips and stared round him. - -Ill bid a pound! said Mr. Powderell, in a tone of resolved emotion, -as of a man ready to put himself in the breach. Whether from awe or -pity, nobody raised the price on him. - -Next came two Dutch prints which Mr. Toller had been eager for, and -after he had secured them he went away. Other prints, and afterwards -some paintings, were sold to leading Middlemarchers who had come with a -special desire for them, and there was a more active movement of the -audience in and out; some, who had bought what they wanted, going away, -others coming in either quite newly or from a temporary visit to the -refreshments which were spread under the marquee on the lawn. It was -this marquee that Mr. Bambridge was bent on buying, and he appeared to -like looking inside it frequently, as a foretaste of its possession. On -the last occasion of his return from it he was observed to bring with -him a new companion, a stranger to Mr. Trumbull and every one else, -whose appearance, however, led to the supposition that he might be a -relative of the horse-dealersalso given to indulgence. His large -whiskers, imposing swagger, and swing of the leg, made him a striking -figure; but his suit of black, rather shabby at the edges, caused the -prejudicial inference that he was not able to afford himself as much -indulgence as he liked. - -Who is it youve picked up, Bam? said Mr. Horrock, aside. - -Ask him yourself, returned Mr. Bambridge. He said hed just turned -in from the road. - -Mr. Horrock eyed the stranger, who was leaning back against his stick -with one hand, using his toothpick with the other, and looking about -him with a certain restlessness apparently under the silence imposed on -him by circumstances. - -At length the Supper at Emmaus was brought forward, to Wills immense -relief, for he was getting so tired of the proceedings that he had -drawn back a little and leaned his shoulder against the wall just -behind the auctioneer. He now came forward again, and his eye caught -the conspicuous stranger, who, rather to his surprise, was staring at -him markedly. But Will was immediately appealed to by Mr. Trumbull. - -Yes, Mr. Ladislaw, yes; this interests you as a connoiss_ure_, I -think. It is some pleasure, the auctioneer went on with a rising -fervor, to have a picture like this to show to a company of ladies and -gentlemena picture worth any sum to an individual whose means were on -a level with his judgment. It is a painting of the Italian schoolby -the celebrated _Guydo_, the greatest painter in the world, the chief of -the Old Masters, as they are calledI take it, because they were up to -a thing or two beyond most of usin possession of secrets now lost to -the bulk of mankind. Let me tell you, gentlemen, I have seen a great -many pictures by the Old Masters, and they are not all up to this -marksome of them are darker than you might like and not family -subjects. But here is a _Guydo_the frame alone is worth poundswhich -any lady might be proud to hang upa suitable thing for what we call a -refectory in a charitable institution, if any gentleman of the -Corporation wished to show his munifi_cence_. Turn it a little, sir? -yes. Joseph, turn it a little towards Mr. LadislawMr. Ladislaw, having -been abroad, understands the merit of these things, you observe. - -All eyes were for a moment turned towards Will, who said, coolly, Five -pounds. The auctioneer burst out in deep remonstrance. - -Ah! Mr. Ladislaw! the frame alone is worth that. Ladies and gentlemen, -for the credit of the town! Suppose it should be discovered hereafter -that a gem of art has been amongst us in this town, and nobody in -Middlemarch awake to it. Five guineasfive seven-sixfive ten. Still, -ladies, still! It is a gem, and Full many a gem, as the poet says, -has been allowed to go at a nominal price because the public knew no -better, because it was offered in circles where there wasI was going -to say a low feeling, but no!Six poundssix guineasa _Guydo_ of the -first order going at six guineasit is an insult to religion, ladies; -it touches us all as Christians, gentlemen, that a subject like this -should go at such a low figuresix pounds tenseven - -The bidding was brisk, and Will continued to share in it, remembering -that Mrs. Bulstrode had a strong wish for the picture, and thinking -that he might stretch the price to twelve pounds. But it was knocked -down to him at ten guineas, whereupon he pushed his way towards the -bow-window and went out. He chose to go under the marquee to get a -glass of water, being hot and thirsty: it was empty of other visitors, -and he asked the woman in attendance to fetch him some fresh water; but -before she was well gone he was annoyed to see entering the florid -stranger who had stared at him. It struck Will at this moment that the -man might be one of those political parasitic insects of the bloated -kind who had once or twice claimed acquaintance with him as having -heard him speak on the Reform question, and who might think of getting -a shilling by news. In this light his person, already rather heating to -behold on a summers day, appeared the more disagreeable; and Will, -half-seated on the elbow of a garden-chair, turned his eyes carefully -away from the comer. But this signified little to our acquaintance Mr. -Raffles, who never hesitated to thrust himself on unwilling -observation, if it suited his purpose to do so. He moved a step or two -till he was in front of Will, and said with full-mouthed haste, Excuse -me, Mr. Ladislawwas your mothers name Sarah Dunkirk? - -Will, starting to his feet, moved backward a step, frowning, and saying -with some fierceness, Yes, sir, it was. And what is that to you? - -It was in Wills nature that the first spark it threw out was a direct -answer of the question and a challenge of the consequences. To have -said, What is that to you? in the first instance, would have seemed -like shufflingas if he minded who knew anything about his origin! - -Raffles on his side had not the same eagerness for a collision which -was implied in Ladislaws threatening air. The slim young fellow with -his girls complexion looked like a tiger-cat ready to spring on him. -Under such circumstances Mr. Raffless pleasure in annoying his company -was kept in abeyance. - -No offence, my good sir, no offence! I only remember your motherknew -her when she was a girl. But it is your father that you feature, sir. I -had the pleasure of seeing your father too. Parents alive, Mr. -Ladislaw? - -No! thundered Will, in the same attitude as before. - -Should be glad to do you a service, Mr. Ladislawby Jove, I should! -Hope to meet again. - -Hereupon Raffles, who had lifted his hat with the last words, turned -himself round with a swing of his leg and walked away. Will looked -after him a moment, and could see that he did not re-enter the -auction-room, but appeared to be walking towards the road. For an -instant he thought that he had been foolish not to let the man go on -talking;but no! on the whole he preferred doing without knowledge from -that source. - -Later in the evening, however, Raffles overtook him in the street, and -appearing either to have forgotten the roughness of his former -reception or to intend avenging it by a forgiving familiarity, greeted -him jovially and walked by his side, remarking at first on the -pleasantness of the town and neighborhood. Will suspected that the man -had been drinking and was considering how to shake him off when Raffles -said - -Ive been abroad myself, Mr. LadislawIve seen the worldused to -parley-vous a little. It was at Boulogne I saw your fathera most -uncommon likeness you are of him, by Jove! mouthnoseeyeshair turned -off your brow just like hisa little in the foreign style. John Bull -doesnt do much of that. But your father was very ill when I saw him. -Lord, lord! hands you might see through. You were a small youngster -then. Did he get well? - -No, said Will, curtly. - -Ah! Well! Ive often wondered what became of your mother. She ran away -from her friends when she was a young lassa proud-spirited lass, and -pretty, by Jove! I knew the reason why she ran away, said Raffles, -winking slowly as he looked sideways at Will. - -You know nothing dishonorable of her, sir, said Will, turning on him -rather savagely. But Mr. Raffles just now was not sensitive to shades -of manner. - -Not a bit! said he, tossing his head decisively. She was a little -too honorable to like her friendsthat was it! Here Raffles again -winked slowly. Lord bless you, I knew all about ema little in what -you may call the respectable thieving linethe high style of -receiving-housenone of your holes and cornersfirst-rate. Slap-up -shop, high profits and no mistake. But Lord! Sarah would have known -nothing about ita dashing young lady she wasfine boarding-schoolfit -for a lords wifeonly Archie Duncan threw it at her out of spite, -because she would have nothing to do with him. And so she ran away from -the whole concern. I travelled for em, sir, in a gentlemanly wayat a -high salary. They didnt mind her running away at firstgodly folks, -sir, very godlyand she was for the stage. The son was alive then, and -the daughter was at a discount. Hallo! here we are at the Blue Bull. -What do you say, Mr. Ladislaw?shall we turn in and have a glass? - -No, I must say good evening, said Will, dashing up a passage which -led into Lowick Gate, and almost running to get out of Raffless reach. - -He walked a long while on the Lowick road away from the town, glad of -the starlit darkness when it came. He felt as if he had had dirt cast -on him amidst shouts of scorn. There was this to confirm the fellows -statementthat his mother never would tell him the reason why she had -run away from her family. - -Well! what was he, Will Ladislaw, the worse, supposing the truth about -that family to be the ugliest? His mother had braved hardship in order -to separate herself from it. But if Dorotheas friends had known this -storyif the Chettams had known itthey would have had a fine color to -give their suspicions a welcome ground for thinking him unfit to come -near her. However, let them suspect what they pleased, they would find -themselves in the wrong. They would find out that the blood in his -veins was as free from the taint of meanness as theirs. - - - - -CHAPTER LXI. - -Inconsistencies, answered Imlac, cannot both be right, but imputed -to man they may both be true._Rasselas_. - - -The same night, when Mr. Bulstrode returned from a journey to Brassing -on business, his good wife met him in the entrance-hall and drew him -into his private sitting-room. - -Nicholas, she said, fixing her honest eyes upon him anxiously, there -has been such a disagreeable man here asking for youit has made me -quite uncomfortable. - -What kind of man, my dear, said Mr. Bulstrode, dreadfully certain of -the answer. - -A red-faced man with large whiskers, and most impudent in his manner. -He declared he was an old friend of yours, and said you would be sorry -not to see him. He wanted to wait for you here, but I told him he could -see you at the Bank to-morrow morning. Most impudent he was!stared at -me, and said his friend Nick had luck in wives. I dont believe he -would have gone away, if Blucher had not happened to break his chain -and come running round on the gravelfor I was in the garden; so I -said, Youd better go awaythe dog is very fierce, and I cant hold -him. Do you really know anything of such a man? - -I believe I know who he is, my dear, said Mr. Bulstrode, in his usual -subdued voice, an unfortunate dissolute wretch, whom I helped too much -in days gone by. However, I presume you will not be troubled by him -again. He will probably come to the Bankto beg, doubtless. - -No more was said on the subject until the next day, when Mr. Bulstrode -had returned from the town and was dressing for dinner. His wife, not -sure that he was come home, looked into his dressing-room and saw him -with his coat and cravat off, leaning one arm on a chest of drawers and -staring absently at the ground. He started nervously and looked up as -she entered. - -You look very ill, Nicholas. Is there anything the matter? - -I have a good deal of pain in my head, said Mr. Bulstrode, who was so -frequently ailing that his wife was always ready to believe in this -cause of depression. - -Sit down and let me sponge it with vinegar. - -Physically Mr. Bulstrode did not want the vinegar, but morally the -affectionate attention soothed him. Though always polite, it was his -habit to receive such services with marital coolness, as his wifes -duty. But to-day, while she was bending over him, he said, You are -very good, Harriet, in a tone which had something new in it to her -ear; she did not know exactly what the novelty was, but her womans -solicitude shaped itself into a darting thought that he might be going -to have an illness. - -Has anything worried you? she said. Did that man come to you at the -Bank? - -Yes; it was as I had supposed. He is a man who at one time might have -done better. But he has sunk into a drunken debauched creature. - -Is he quite gone away? said Mrs. Bulstrode, anxiously; but for -certain reasons she refrained from adding, It was very disagreeable to -hear him calling himself a friend of yours. At that moment she would -not have liked to say anything which implied her habitual consciousness -that her husbands earlier connections were not quite on a level with -her own. Not that she knew much about them. That her husband had at -first been employed in a bank, that he had afterwards entered into what -he called city business and gained a fortune before he was -three-and-thirty, that he had married a widow who was much older than -himselfa Dissenter, and in other ways probably of that disadvantageous -quality usually perceptible in a first wife if inquired into with the -dispassionate judgment of a secondwas almost as much as she had cared -to learn beyond the glimpses which Mr. Bulstrodes narrative -occasionally gave of his early bent towards religion, his inclination -to be a preacher, and his association with missionary and philanthropic -efforts. She believed in him as an excellent man whose piety carried a -peculiar eminence in belonging to a layman, whose influence had turned -her own mind toward seriousness, and whose share of perishable good had -been the means of raising her own position. But she also liked to think -that it was well in every sense for Mr. Bulstrode to have won the hand -of Harriet Vincy; whose family was undeniable in a Middlemarch lighta -better light surely than any thrown in London thoroughfares or -dissenting chapel-yards. The unreformed provincial mind distrusted -London; and while true religion was everywhere saving, honest Mrs. -Bulstrode was convinced that to be saved in the Church was more -respectable. She so much wished to ignore towards others that her -husband had ever been a London Dissenter, that she liked to keep it out -of sight even in talking to him. He was quite aware of this; indeed in -some respects he was rather afraid of this ingenuous wife, whose -imitative piety and native worldliness were equally sincere, who had -nothing to be ashamed of, and whom he had married out of a thorough -inclination still subsisting. But his fears were such as belong to a -man who cares to maintain his recognized supremacy: the loss of high -consideration from his wife, as from every one else who did not clearly -hate him out of enmity to the truth, would be as the beginning of death -to him. When she said - -Is he quite gone away? - -Oh, I trust so, he answered, with an effort to throw as much sober -unconcern into his tone as possible! - -But in truth Mr. Bulstrode was very far from a state of quiet trust. In -the interview at the Bank, Raffles had made it evident that his -eagerness to torment was almost as strong in him as any other greed. He -had frankly said that he had turned out of the way to come to -Middlemarch, just to look about him and see whether the neighborhood -would suit him to live in. He had certainly had a few debts to pay more -than he expected, but the two hundred pounds were not gone yet: a cool -five-and-twenty would suffice him to go away with for the present. What -he had wanted chiefly was to see his friend Nick and family, and know -all about the prosperity of a man to whom he was so much attached. -By-and-by he might come back for a longer stay. This time Raffles -declined to be seen off the premises, as he expressed itdeclined to -quit Middlemarch under Bulstrodes eyes. He meant to go by coach the -next dayif he chose. - -Bulstrode felt himself helpless. Neither threats nor coaxing could -avail: he could not count on any persistent fear nor on any promise. On -the contrary, he felt a cold certainty at his heart that Rafflesunless -providence sent death to hinder himwould come back to Middlemarch -before long. And that certainty was a terror. - -It was not that he was in danger of legal punishment or of beggary: he -was in danger only of seeing disclosed to the judgment of his neighbors -and the mournful perception of his wife certain facts of his past life -which would render him an object of scorn and an opprobrium of the -religion with which he had diligently associated himself. The terror of -being judged sharpens the memory: it sends an inevitable glare over -that long-unvisited past which has been habitually recalled only in -general phrases. Even without memory, the life is bound into one by a -zone of dependence in growth and decay; but intense memory forces a man -to own his blameworthy past. With memory set smarting like a reopened -wound, a mans past is not simply a dead history, an outworn -preparation of the present: it is not a repented error shaken loose -from the life: it is a still quivering part of himself, bringing -shudders and bitter flavors and the tinglings of a merited shame. - -Into this second life Bulstrodes past had now risen, only the -pleasures of it seeming to have lost their quality. Night and day, -without interruption save of brief sleep which only wove retrospect and -fear into a fantastic present, he felt the scenes of his earlier life -coming between him and everything else, as obstinately as when we look -through the window from a lighted room, the objects we turn our backs -on are still before us, instead of the grass and the trees. The -successive events inward and outward were there in one view: though -each might be dwelt on in turn, the rest still kept their hold in the -consciousness. - -Once more he saw himself the young bankers clerk, with an agreeable -person, as clever in figures as he was fluent in speech and fond of -theological definition: an eminent though young member of a Calvinistic -dissenting church at Highbury, having had striking experience in -conviction of sin and sense of pardon. Again he heard himself called -for as Brother Bulstrode in prayer meetings, speaking on religious -platforms, preaching in private houses. Again he felt himself thinking -of the ministry as possibly his vocation, and inclined towards -missionary labor. That was the happiest time of his life: that was the -spot he would have chosen now to awake in and find the rest a dream. -The people among whom Brother Bulstrode was distinguished were very -few, but they were very near to him, and stirred his satisfaction the -more; his power stretched through a narrow space, but he felt its -effect the more intensely. He believed without effort in the peculiar -work of grace within him, and in the signs that God intended him for -special instrumentality. - -Then came the moment of transition; it was with the sense of promotion -he had when he, an orphan educated at a commercial charity-school, was -invited to a fine villa belonging to Mr. Dunkirk, the richest man in -the congregation. Soon he became an intimate there, honored for his -piety by the wife, marked out for his ability by the husband, whose -wealth was due to a flourishing city and west-end trade. That was the -setting-in of a new current for his ambition, directing his prospects -of instrumentality towards the uniting of distinguished religious -gifts with successful business. - -By-and-by came a decided external leading: a confidential subordinate -partner died, and nobody seemed to the principal so well fitted to fill -the severely felt vacancy as his young friend Bulstrode, if he would -become confidential accountant. The offer was accepted. The business -was a pawnbrokers, of the most magnificent sort both in extent and -profits; and on a short acquaintance with it Bulstrode became aware -that one source of magnificent profit was the easy reception of any -goods offered, without strict inquiry as to where they came from. But -there was a branch house at the west end, and no pettiness or dinginess -to give suggestions of shame. - -He remembered his first moments of shrinking. They were private, and -were filled with arguments; some of these taking the form of prayer. -The business was established and had old roots; is it not one thing to -set up a new gin-palace and another to accept an investment in an old -one? The profits made out of lost soulswhere can the line be drawn at -which they begin in human transactions? Was it not even Gods way of -saving His chosen? Thou knowest,the young Bulstrode had said then, -as the older Bulstrode was saying nowThou knowest how loose my soul -sits from these thingshow I view them all as implements for tilling -Thy garden rescued here and there from the wilderness. - -Metaphors and precedents were not wanting; peculiar spiritual -experiences were not wanting which at last made the retention of his -position seem a service demanded of him: the vista of a fortune had -already opened itself, and Bulstrodes shrinking remained private. Mr. -Dunkirk had never expected that there would be any shrinking at all: he -had never conceived that trade had anything to do with the scheme of -salvation. And it was true that Bulstrode found himself carrying on two -distinct lives; his religious activity could not be incompatible with -his business as soon as he had argued himself into not feeling it -incompatible. - -Mentally surrounded with that past again, Bulstrode had the same -pleasindeed, the years had been perpetually spinning them into -intricate thickness, like masses of spider-web, padding the moral -sensibility; nay, as age made egoism more eager but less enjoying, his -soul had become more saturated with the belief that he did everything -for Gods sake, being indifferent to it for his own. And yetif he -could be back in that far-off spot with his youthful povertywhy, then -he would choose to be a missionary. - -But the train of causes in which he had locked himself went on. There -was trouble in the fine villa at Highbury. Years before, the only -daughter had run away, defied her parents, and gone on the stage; and -now the only boy died, and after a short time Mr. Dunkirk died also. -The wife, a simple pious woman, left with all the wealth in and out of -the magnificent trade, of which she never knew the precise nature, had -come to believe in Bulstrode, and innocently adore him as women often -adore their priest or man-made minister. It was natural that after a -time marriage should have been thought of between them. But Mrs. -Dunkirk had qualms and yearnings about her daughter, who had long been -regarded as lost both to God and her parents. It was known that the -daughter had married, but she was utterly gone out of sight. The -mother, having lost her boy, imagined a grandson, and wished in a -double sense to reclaim her daughter. If she were found, there would be -a channel for propertyperhaps a wide onein the provision for several -grandchildren. Efforts to find her must be made before Mrs. Dunkirk -would marry again. Bulstrode concurred; but after advertisement as well -as other modes of inquiry had been tried, the mother believed that her -daughter was not to be found, and consented to marry without -reservation of property. - -The daughter had been found; but only one man besides Bulstrode knew -it, and he was paid for keeping silence and carrying himself away. - -That was the bare fact which Bulstrode was now forced to see in the -rigid outline with which acts present themselves to onlookers. But for -himself at that distant time, and even now in burning memory, the fact -was broken into little sequences, each justified as it came by -reasonings which seemed to prove it righteous. Bulstrodes course up to -that time had, he thought, been sanctioned by remarkable providences, -appearing to point the way for him to be the agent in making the best -use of a large property and withdrawing it from perversion. Death and -other striking dispositions, such as feminine trustfulness, had come; -and Bulstrode would have adopted Cromwells wordsDo you call these -bare events? The Lord pity you! The events were comparatively small, -but the essential condition was therenamely, that they were in favor -of his own ends. It was easy for him to settle what was due from him to -others by inquiring what were Gods intentions with regard to himself. -Could it be for Gods service that this fortune should in any -considerable proportion go to a young woman and her husband who were -given up to the lightest pursuits, and might scatter it abroad in -trivialitypeople who seemed to lie outside the path of remarkable -providences? Bulstrode had never said to himself beforehand, The -daughter shall not be foundnevertheless when the moment came he kept -her existence hidden; and when other moments followed, he soothed the -mother with consolation in the probability that the unhappy young woman -might be no more. - -There were hours in which Bulstrode felt that his action was -unrighteous; but how could he go back? He had mental exercises, called -himself nought, laid hold on redemption, and went on in his course of -instrumentality. And after five years Death again came to widen his -path, by taking away his wife. He did gradually withdraw his capital, -but he did not make the sacrifices requisite to put an end to the -business, which was carried on for thirteen years afterwards before it -finally collapsed. Meanwhile Nicholas Bulstrode had used his hundred -thousand discreetly, and was become provincially, solidly importanta -banker, a Churchman, a public benefactor; also a sleeping partner in -trading concerns, in which his ability was directed to economy in the -raw material, as in the case of the dyes which rotted Mr. Vincys silk. -And now, when this respectability had lasted undisturbed for nearly -thirty yearswhen all that preceded it had long lain benumbed in the -consciousnessthat past had risen and immersed his thought as if with -the terrible irruption of a new sense overburthening the feeble being. - -Meanwhile, in his conversation with Raffles, he had learned something -momentous, something which entered actively into the struggle of his -longings and terrors. There, he thought, lay an opening towards -spiritual, perhaps towards material rescue. - -The spiritual kind of rescue was a genuine need with him. There may be -coarse hypocrites, who consciously affect beliefs and emotions for the -sake of gulling the world, but Bulstrode was not one of them. He was -simply a man whose desires had been stronger than his theoretic -beliefs, and who had gradually explained the gratification of his -desires into satisfactory agreement with those beliefs. If this be -hypocrisy, it is a process which shows itself occasionally in us all, -to whatever confession we belong, and whether we believe in the future -perfection of our race or in the nearest date fixed for the end of the -world; whether we regard the earth as a putrefying nidus for a saved -remnant, including ourselves, or have a passionate belief in the -solidarity of mankind. - -The service he could do to the cause of religion had been through life -the ground he alleged to himself for his choice of action: it had been -the motive which he had poured out in his prayers. Who would use money -and position better than he meant to use them? Who could surpass him in -self-abhorrence and exaltation of Gods cause? And to Mr. Bulstrode -Gods cause was something distinct from his own rectitude of conduct: -it enforced a discrimination of Gods enemies, who were to be used -merely as instruments, and whom it would be as well if possible to keep -out of money and consequent influence. Also, profitable investments in -trades where the power of the prince of this world showed its most -active devices, became sanctified by a right application of the profits -in the hands of Gods servant. - -This implicit reasoning is essentially no more peculiar to evangelical -belief than the use of wide phrases for narrow motives is peculiar to -Englishmen. There is no general doctrine which is not capable of eating -out our morality if unchecked by the deep-seated habit of direct -fellow-feeling with individual fellow-men. - -But a man who believes in something else than his own greed, has -necessarily a conscience or standard to which he more or less adapts -himself. Bulstrodes standard had been his serviceableness to Gods -cause: I am sinful and noughta vessel to be consecrated by usebut -use me!had been the mould into which he had constrained his immense -need of being something important and predominating. And now had come a -moment in which that mould seemed in danger of being broken and utterly -cast away. - -What if the acts he had reconciled himself to because they made him a -stronger instrument of the divine glory, were to become the pretext of -the scoffer, and a darkening of that glory? If this were to be the -ruling of Providence, he was cast out from the temple as one who had -brought unclean offerings. - -He had long poured out utterances of repentance. But today a repentance -had come which was of a bitterer flavor, and a threatening Providence -urged him to a kind of propitiation which was not simply a doctrinal -transaction. The divine tribunal had changed its aspect for him; -self-prostration was no longer enough, and he must bring restitution in -his hand. It was really before his God that Bulstrode was about to -attempt such restitution as seemed possible: a great dread had seized -his susceptible frame, and the scorching approach of shame wrought in -him a new spiritual need. Night and day, while the resurgent -threatening past was making a conscience within him, he was thinking by -what means he could recover peace and trustby what sacrifice he could -stay the rod. His belief in these moments of dread was, that if he -spontaneously did something right, God would save him from the -consequences of wrong-doing. For religion can only change when the -emotions which fill it are changed; and the religion of personal fear -remains nearly at the level of the savage. - -He had seen Raffles actually going away on the Brassing coach, and this -was a temporary relief; it removed the pressure of an immediate dread, -but did not put an end to the spiritual conflict and the need to win -protection. At last he came to a difficult resolve, and wrote a letter -to Will Ladislaw, begging him to be at the Shrubs that evening for a -private interview at nine oclock. Will had felt no particular surprise -at the request, and connected it with some new notions about the -Pioneer; but when he was shown into Mr. Bulstrodes private room, he -was struck with the painfully worn look on the bankers face, and was -going to say, Are you ill? when, checking himself in that abruptness, -he only inquired after Mrs. Bulstrode, and her satisfaction with the -picture bought for her. - -Thank you, she is quite satisfied; she has gone out with her daughters -this evening. I begged you to come, Mr. Ladislaw, because I have a -communication of a very privateindeed, I will say, of a sacredly -confidential nature, which I desire to make to you. Nothing, I dare -say, has been farther from your thoughts than that there had been -important ties in the past which could connect your history with mine. - -Will felt something like an electric shock. He was already in a state -of keen sensitiveness and hardly allayed agitation on the subject of -ties in the past, and his presentiments were not agreeable. It seemed -like the fluctuations of a dreamas if the action begun by that loud -bloated stranger were being carried on by this pale-eyed sickly looking -piece of respectability, whose subdued tone and glib formality of -speech were at this moment almost as repulsive to him as their -remembered contrast. He answered, with a marked change of color - -No, indeed, nothing. - -You see before you, Mr. Ladislaw, a man who is deeply stricken. But -for the urgency of conscience and the knowledge that I am before the -bar of One who seeth not as man seeth, I should be under no compulsion -to make the disclosure which has been my object in asking you to come -here to-night. So far as human laws go, you have no claim on me -whatever. - -Will was even more uncomfortable than wondering. Mr. Bulstrode had -paused, leaning his head on his hand, and looking at the floor. But he -now fixed his examining glance on Will and said - -I am told that your mothers name was Sarah Dunkirk, and that she ran -away from her friends to go on the stage. Also, that your father was at -one time much emaciated by illness. May I ask if you can confirm these -statements? - -Yes, they are all true, said Will, struck with the order in which an -inquiry had come, that might have been expected to be preliminary to -the bankers previous hints. But Mr. Bulstrode had to-night followed -the order of his emotions; he entertained no doubt that the opportunity -for restitution had come, and he had an overpowering impulse towards -the penitential expression by which he was deprecating chastisement. - -Do you know any particulars of your mothers family? he continued. - -No; she never liked to speak of them. She was a very generous, -honorable woman, said Will, almost angrily. - -I do not wish to allege anything against her. Did she never mention -her mother to you at all? - -I have heard her say that she thought her mother did not know the -reason of her running away. She said poor mother in a pitying tone. - -That mother became my wife, said Bulstrode, and then paused a moment -before he added, you have a claim on me, Mr. Ladislaw: as I said -before, not a legal claim, but one which my conscience recognizes. I -was enriched by that marriagea result which would probably not have -taken placecertainly not to the same extentif your grandmother could -have discovered her daughter. That daughter, I gather, is no longer -living! - -No, said Will, feeling suspicion and repugnance rising so strongly -within him, that without quite knowing what he did, he took his hat -from the floor and stood up. The impulse within him was to reject the -disclosed connection. - -Pray be seated, Mr. Ladislaw, said Bulstrode, anxiously. Doubtless -you are startled by the suddenness of this discovery. But I entreat -your patience with one who is already bowed down by inward trial. - -Will reseated himself, feeling some pity which was half contempt for -this voluntary self-abasement of an elderly man. - -It is my wish, Mr. Ladislaw, to make amends for the deprivation which -befell your mother. I know that you are without fortune, and I wish to -supply you adequately from a store which would have probably already -been yours had your grandmother been certain of your mothers existence -and been able to find her. - -Mr. Bulstrode paused. He felt that he was performing a striking piece -of scrupulosity in the judgment of his auditor, and a penitential act -in the eyes of God. He had no clew to the state of Will Ladislaws -mind, smarting as it was from the clear hints of Raffles, and with its -natural quickness in construction stimulated by the expectation of -discoveries which he would have been glad to conjure back into -darkness. Will made no answer for several moments, till Mr. Bulstrode, -who at the end of his speech had cast his eyes on the floor, now raised -them with an examining glance, which Will met fully, saying - -I suppose you did know of my mothers existence, and knew where she -might have been found. - -Bulstrode shrankthere was a visible quivering in his face and hands. -He was totally unprepared to have his advances met in this way, or to -find himself urged into more revelation than he had beforehand set down -as needful. But at that moment he dared not tell a lie, and he felt -suddenly uncertain of his ground which he had trodden with some -confidence before. - -I will not deny that you conjecture rightly, he answered, with a -faltering in his tone. And I wish to make atonement to you as the one -still remaining who has suffered a loss through me. You enter, I trust, -into my purpose, Mr. Ladislaw, which has a reference to higher than -merely human claims, and as I have already said, is entirely -independent of any legal compulsion. I am ready to narrow my own -resources and the prospects of my family by binding myself to allow you -five hundred pounds yearly during my life, and to leave you a -proportional capital at my deathnay, to do still more, if more should -be definitely necessary to any laudable project on your part. Mr. -Bulstrode had gone on to particulars in the expectation that these -would work strongly on Ladislaw, and merge other feelings in grateful -acceptance. - -But Will was looking as stubborn as possible, with his lip pouting and -his fingers in his side-pockets. He was not in the least touched, and -said firmly, - -Before I make any reply to your proposition, Mr. Bulstrode, I must beg -you to answer a question or two. Were you connected with the business -by which that fortune you speak of was originally made? - -Mr. Bulstrodes thought was, Raffles has told him. How could he -refuse to answer when he had volunteered what drew forth the question? -He answered, Yes. - -And was that businessor was it nota thoroughly dishonorable onenay, -one that, if its nature had been made public, might have ranked those -concerned in it with thieves and convicts? - -Wills tone had a cutting bitterness: he was moved to put his question -as nakedly as he could. - -Bulstrode reddened with irrepressible anger. He had been prepared for a -scene of self-abasement, but his intense pride and his habit of -supremacy overpowered penitence, and even dread, when this young man, -whom he had meant to benefit, turned on him with the air of a judge. - -The business was established before I became connected with it, sir; -nor is it for you to institute an inquiry of that kind, he answered, -not raising his voice, but speaking with quick defiantness. - -Yes, it is, said Will, starting up again with his hat in his hand. -It is eminently mine to ask such questions, when I have to decide -whether I will have transactions with you and accept your money. My -unblemished honor is important to me. It is important to me to have no -stain on my birth and connections. And now I find there is a stain -which I cant help. My mother felt it, and tried to keep as clear of it -as she could, and so will I. You shall keep your ill-gotten money. If I -had any fortune of my own, I would willingly pay it to any one who -could disprove what you have told me. What I have to thank you for is -that you kept the money till now, when I can refuse it. It ought to lie -with a mans self that he is a gentleman. Good-night, sir. - -Bulstrode was going to speak, but Will, with determined quickness, was -out of the room in an instant, and in another the hall-door had closed -behind him. He was too strongly possessed with passionate rebellion -against this inherited blot which had been thrust on his knowledge to -reflect at present whether he had not been too hard on Bulstrodetoo -arrogantly merciless towards a man of sixty, who was making efforts at -retrieval when time had rendered them vain. - -No third person listening could have thoroughly understood the -impetuosity of Wills repulse or the bitterness of his words. No one -but himself then knew how everything connected with the sentiment of -his own dignity had an immediate bearing for him on his relation to -Dorothea and to Mr. Casaubons treatment of him. And in the rush of -impulses by which he flung back that offer of Bulstrodes there was -mingled the sense that it would have been impossible for him ever to -tell Dorothea that he had accepted it. - -As for Bulstrodewhen Will was gone he suffered a violent reaction, and -wept like a woman. It was the first time he had encountered an open -expression of scorn from any man higher than Raffles; and with that -scorn hurrying like venom through his system, there was no sensibility -left to consolations. But the relief of weeping had to be checked. His -wife and daughters soon came home from hearing the address of an -Oriental missionary, and were full of regret that papa had not heard, -in the first instance, the interesting things which they tried to -repeat to him. - -Perhaps, through all other hidden thoughts, the one that breathed most -comfort was, that Will Ladislaw at least was not likely to publish what -had taken place that evening. - - - - -CHAPTER LXII. - -He was a squyer of lowe degre, -That loved the kings daughter of Hungrie. -_Old Romance_. - - -Will Ladislaws mind was now wholly bent on seeing Dorothea again, and -forthwith quitting Middlemarch. The morning after his agitating scene -with Bulstrode he wrote a brief letter to her, saying that various -causes had detained him in the neighborhood longer than he had -expected, and asking her permission to call again at Lowick at some -hour which she would mention on the earliest possible day, he being -anxious to depart, but unwilling to do so until she had granted him an -interview. He left the letter at the office, ordering the messenger to -carry it to Lowick Manor, and wait for an answer. - -Ladislaw felt the awkwardness of asking for more last words. His former -farewell had been made in the hearing of Sir James Chettam, and had -been announced as final even to the butler. It is certainly trying to a -mans dignity to reappear when he is not expected to do so: a first -farewell has pathos in it, but to come back for a second lends an -opening to comedy, and it was possible even that there might be bitter -sneers afloat about Wills motives for lingering. Still it was on the -whole more satisfactory to his feeling to take the directest means of -seeing Dorothea, than to use any device which might give an air of -chance to a meeting of which he wished her to understand that it was -what he earnestly sought. When he had parted from her before, he had -been in ignorance of facts which gave a new aspect to the relation -between them, and made a more absolute severance than he had then -believed in. He knew nothing of Dorotheas private fortune, and being -little used to reflect on such matters, took it for granted that -according to Mr. Casaubons arrangement marriage to him, Will Ladislaw, -would mean that she consented to be penniless. That was not what he -could wish for even in his secret heart, or even if she had been ready -to meet such hard contrast for his sake. And then, too, there was the -fresh smart of that disclosure about his mothers family, which if -known would be an added reason why Dorotheas friends should look down -upon him as utterly below her. The secret hope that after some years he -might come back with the sense that he had at least a personal value -equal to her wealth, seemed now the dreamy continuation of a dream. -This change would surely justify him in asking Dorothea to receive him -once more. - -But Dorothea on that morning was not at home to receive Wills note. In -consequence of a letter from her uncle announcing his intention to be -at home in a week, she had driven first to Freshitt to carry the news, -meaning to go on to the Grange to deliver some orders with which her -uncle had intrusted herthinking, as he said, a little mental -occupation of this sort good for a widow. - -If Will Ladislaw could have overheard some of the talk at Freshitt that -morning, he would have felt all his suppositions confirmed as to the -readiness of certain people to sneer at his lingering in the -neighborhood. Sir James, indeed, though much relieved concerning -Dorothea, had been on the watch to learn Ladislaws movements, and had -an instructed informant in Mr. Standish, who was necessarily in his -confidence on this matter. That Ladislaw had stayed in Middlemarch -nearly two months after he had declared that he was going immediately, -was a fact to embitter Sir Jamess suspicions, or at least to justify -his aversion to a young fellow whom he represented to himself as -slight, volatile, and likely enough to show such recklessness as -naturally went along with a position unriveted by family ties or a -strict profession. But he had just heard something from Standish which, -while it justified these surmises about Will, offered a means of -nullifying all danger with regard to Dorothea. - -Unwonted circumstances may make us all rather unlike ourselves: there -are conditions under which the most majestic person is obliged to -sneeze, and our emotions are liable to be acted on in the same -incongruous manner. Good Sir James was this morning so far unlike -himself that he was irritably anxious to say something to Dorothea on a -subject which he usually avoided as if it had been a matter of shame to -them both. He could not use Celia as a medium, because he did not -choose that she should know the kind of gossip he had in his mind; and -before Dorothea happened to arrive he had been trying to imagine how, -with his shyness and unready tongue, he could ever manage to introduce -his communication. Her unexpected presence brought him to utter -hopelessness in his own power of saying anything unpleasant; but -desperation suggested a resource; he sent the groom on an unsaddled -horse across the park with a pencilled note to Mrs. Cadwallader, who -already knew the gossip, and would think it no compromise of herself to -repeat it as often as required. - -Dorothea was detained on the good pretext that Mr. Garth, whom she -wanted to see, was expected at the hall within the hour, and she was -still talking to Caleb on the gravel when Sir James, on the watch for -the rectors wife, saw her coming and met her with the needful hints. - -Enough! I understand,said Mrs. Cadwallader. You shall be innocent. -I am such a blackamoor that I cannot smirch myself. - -I dont mean that its of any consequence, said Sir James, disliking -that Mrs. Cadwallader should understand too much. Only it is desirable -that Dorothea should know there are reasons why she should not receive -him again; and I really cant say so to her. It will come lightly from -you. - -It came very lightly indeed. When Dorothea quitted Caleb and turned to -meet them, it appeared that Mrs. Cadwallader had stepped across the -park by the merest chance in the world, just to chat with Celia in a -matronly way about the baby. And so Mr. Brooke was coming back? -Delightful!coming back, it was to be hoped, quite cured of -Parliamentary fever and pioneering. Apropos of the Pioneersomebody -had prophesied that it would soon be like a dying dolphin, and turn all -colors for want of knowing how to help itself, because Mr. Brookes -protege, the brilliant young Ladislaw, was gone or going. Had Sir James -heard that? - -The three were walking along the gravel slowly, and Sir James, turning -aside to whip a shrub, said he had heard something of that sort. - -All false! said Mrs. Cadwallader. He is not gone, or going, -apparently; the Pioneer keeps its color, and Mr. Orlando Ladislaw is -making a sad dark-blue scandal by warbling continually with your Mr. -Lydgates wife, who they tell me is as pretty as pretty can be. It -seems nobody ever goes into the house without finding this young -gentleman lying on the rug or warbling at the piano. But the people in -manufacturing towns are always disreputable. - -You began by saying that one report was false, Mrs. Cadwallader, and I -believe this is false too, said Dorothea, with indignant energy; at -least, I feel sure it is a misrepresentation. I will not hear any evil -spoken of Mr. Ladislaw; he has already suffered too much injustice. - -Dorothea when thoroughly moved cared little what any one thought of her -feelings; and even if she had been able to reflect, she would have held -it petty to keep silence at injurious words about Will from fear of -being herself misunderstood. Her face was flushed and her lip trembled. - -Sir James, glancing at her, repented of his stratagem; but Mrs. -Cadwallader, equal to all occasions, spread the palms of her hands -outward and saidHeaven grant it, my dear!I mean that all bad tales -about anybody may be false. But it is a pity that young Lydgate should -have married one of these Middlemarch girls. Considering hes a son of -somebody, he might have got a woman with good blood in her veins, and -not too young, who would have put up with his profession. Theres Clara -Harfager, for instance, whose friends dont know what to do with her; -and she has a portion. Then we might have had her among us. -However!its no use being wise for other people. Where is Celia? Pray -let us go in. - -I am going on immediately to Tipton, said Dorothea, rather haughtily. -Good-by. - -Sir James could say nothing as he accompanied her to the carriage. He -was altogether discontented with the result of a contrivance which had -cost him some secret humiliation beforehand. - -Dorothea drove along between the berried hedgerows and the shorn -corn-fields, not seeing or hearing anything around. The tears came and -rolled down her cheeks, but she did not know it. The world, it seemed, -was turning ugly and hateful, and there was no place for her -trustfulness. It is not trueit is not true! was the voice within her -that she listened to; but all the while a remembrance to which there -had always clung a vague uneasiness would thrust itself on her -attentionthe remembrance of that day when she had found Will Ladislaw -with Mrs. Lydgate, and had heard his voice accompanied by the piano. - -He said he would never do anything that I disapprovedI wish I could -have told him that I disapproved of that, said poor Dorothea, -inwardly, feeling a strange alternation between anger with Will and the -passionate defence of him. They all try to blacken him before me; but -I will care for no pain, if he is not to blame. I always believed he -was good.These were her last thoughts before she felt that the -carriage was passing under the archway of the lodge-gate at the Grange, -when she hurriedly pressed her handkerchief to her face and began to -think of her errands. The coachman begged leave to take out the horses -for half an hour as there was something wrong with a shoe; and -Dorothea, having the sense that she was going to rest, took off her -gloves and bonnet, while she was leaning against a statue in the -entrance-hall, and talking to the housekeeper. At last she said - -I must stay here a little, Mrs. Kell. I will go into the library and -write you some memoranda from my uncles letter, if you will open the -shutters for me. - -The shutters are open, madam, said Mrs. Kell, following Dorothea, who -had walked along as she spoke. Mr. Ladislaw is there, looking for -something. - -(Will had come to fetch a portfolio of his own sketches which he had -missed in the act of packing his movables, and did not choose to leave -behind.) - -Dorotheas heart seemed to turn over as if it had had a blow, but she -was not perceptibly checked: in truth, the sense that Will was there -was for the moment all-satisfying to her, like the sight of something -precious that one has lost. When she reached the door she said to Mrs. -Kell - -Go in first, and tell him that I am here. - -Will had found his portfolio, and had laid it on the table at the far -end of the room, to turn over the sketches and please himself by -looking at the memorable piece of art which had a relation to nature -too mysterious for Dorothea. He was smiling at it still, and shaking -the sketches into order with the thought that he might find a letter -from her awaiting him at Middlemarch, when Mrs. Kell close to his elbow -said - -Mrs. Casaubon is coming in, sir. - -Will turned round quickly, and the next moment Dorothea was entering. -As Mrs. Kell closed the door behind her they met: each was looking at -the other, and consciousness was overflowed by something that -suppressed utterance. It was not confusion that kept them silent, for -they both felt that parting was near, and there is no shamefacedness in -a sad parting. - -She moved automatically towards her uncles chair against the -writing-table, and Will, after drawing it out a little for her, went a -few paces off and stood opposite to her. - -Pray sit down, said Dorothea, crossing her hands on her lap; I am -very glad you were here. Will thought that her face looked just as it -did when she first shook hands with him in Rome; for her widows cap, -fixed in her bonnet, had gone off with it, and he could see that she -had lately been shedding tears. But the mixture of anger in her -agitation had vanished at the sight of him; she had been used, when -they were face to face, always to feel confidence and the happy freedom -which comes with mutual understanding, and how could other peoples -words hinder that effect on a sudden? Let the music which can take -possession of our frame and fill the air with joy for us, sound once -morewhat does it signify that we heard it found fault with in its -absence? - -I have sent a letter to Lowick Manor to-day, asking leave to see you, -said Will, seating himself opposite to her. I am going away -immediately, and I could not go without speaking to you again. - -I thought we had parted when you came to Lowick many weeks agoyou -thought you were going then, said Dorothea, her voice trembling a -little. - -Yes; but I was in ignorance then of things which I know nowthings -which have altered my feelings about the future. When I saw you before, -I was dreaming that I might come back some day. I dont think I ever -shallnow. Will paused here. - -You wished me to know the reasons? said Dorothea, timidly. - -Yes, said Will, impetuously, shaking his head backward, and looking -away from her with irritation in his face. Of course I must wish it. I -have been grossly insulted in your eyes and in the eyes of others. -There has been a mean implication against my character. I wish you to -know that under no circumstances would I have lowered myself byunder -no circumstances would I have given men the chance of saying that I -sought money under the pretext of seekingsomething else. There was no -need of other safeguard against methe safeguard of wealth was enough. - -Will rose from his chair with the last word and wenthe hardly knew -where; but it was to the projecting window nearest him, which had been -open as now about the same season a year ago, when he and Dorothea had -stood within it and talked together. Her whole heart was going out at -this moment in sympathy with Wills indignation: she only wanted to -convince him that she had never done him injustice, and he seemed to -have turned away from her as if she too had been part of the unfriendly -world. - -It would be very unkind of you to suppose that I ever attributed any -meanness to you, she began. Then in her ardent way, wanting to plead -with him, she moved from her chair and went in front of him to her old -place in the window, saying, Do you suppose that I ever disbelieved in +My boy, said the landlord, youll have the nightmare to a dead +sartainty. + +Landlord, I whispered, that aint the harpooneer is it? + +Oh, no, said he, looking a sort of diabolically funny, the +harpooneer is a dark complexioned chap. He never eats dumplings, he +donthe eats nothing but steaks, and he likes em rare. + +The devil he does, says I. Where is that harpooneer? Is he here? + +Hell be here afore long, was the answer. + +I could not help it, but I began to feel suspicious of this dark +complexioned harpooneer. At any rate, I made up my mind that if it so +turned out that we should sleep together, he must undress and get into +bed before I did. + +Supper over, the company went back to the bar-room, when, knowing not +what else to do with myself, I resolved to spend the rest of the +evening as a looker on. + +Presently a rioting noise was heard without. Starting up, the landlord +cried, Thats the Grampuss crew. I seed her reported in the offing +this morning; a three years voyage, and a full ship. Hurrah, boys; now +well have the latest news from the Feegees. + +A tramping of sea boots was heard in the entry; the door was flung +open, and in rolled a wild set of mariners enough. Enveloped in their +shaggy watch coats, and with their heads muffled in woollen comforters, +all bedarned and ragged, and their beards stiff with icicles, they +seemed an eruption of bears from Labrador. They had just landed from +their boat, and this was the first house they entered. No wonder, then, +that they made a straight wake for the whales mouththe barwhen the +wrinkled little old Jonah, there officiating, soon poured them out +brimmers all round. One complained of a bad cold in his head, upon +which Jonah mixed him a pitch-like potion of gin and molasses, which he +swore was a sovereign cure for all colds and catarrhs whatsoever, never +mind of how long standing, or whether caught off the coast of Labrador, +or on the weather side of an ice-island. + +The liquor soon mounted into their heads, as it generally does even +with the arrantest topers newly landed from sea, and they began +capering about most obstreperously. + +I observed, however, that one of them held somewhat aloof, and though +he seemed desirous not to spoil the hilarity of his shipmates by his +own sober face, yet upon the whole he refrained from making as much +noise as the rest. This man interested me at once; and since the +sea-gods had ordained that he should soon become my shipmate (though +but a sleeping-partner one, so far as this narrative is concerned), I +will here venture upon a little description of him. He stood full six +feet in height, with noble shoulders, and a chest like a coffer-dam. I +have seldom seen such brawn in a man. His face was deeply brown and +burnt, making his white teeth dazzling by the contrast; while in the +deep shadows of his eyes floated some reminiscences that did not seem +to give him much joy. His voice at once announced that he was a +Southerner, and from his fine stature, I thought he must be one of +those tall mountaineers from the Alleghanian Ridge in Virginia. When +the revelry of his companions had mounted to its height, this man +slipped away unobserved, and I saw no more of him till he became my +comrade on the sea. In a few minutes, however, he was missed by his +shipmates, and being, it seems, for some reason a huge favourite with +them, they raised a cry of Bulkington! Bulkington! wheres +Bulkington? and darted out of the house in pursuit of him. + +It was now about nine oclock, and the room seeming almost +supernaturally quiet after these orgies, I began to congratulate myself +upon a little plan that had occurred to me just previous to the +entrance of the seamen. + +No man prefers to sleep two in a bed. In fact, you would a good deal +rather not sleep with your own brother. I dont know how it is, but +people like to be private when they are sleeping. And when it comes to +sleeping with an unknown stranger, in a strange inn, in a strange town, +and that stranger a harpooneer, then your objections indefinitely +multiply. Nor was there any earthly reason why I as a sailor should +sleep two in a bed, more than anybody else; for sailors no more sleep +two in a bed at sea, than bachelor Kings do ashore. To be sure they all +sleep together in one apartment, but you have your own hammock, and +cover yourself with your own blanket, and sleep in your own skin. + +The more I pondered over this harpooneer, the more I abominated the +thought of sleeping with him. It was fair to presume that being a +harpooneer, his linen or woollen, as the case might be, would not be of +the tidiest, certainly none of the finest. I began to twitch all over. +Besides, it was getting late, and my decent harpooneer ought to be home +and going bedwards. Suppose now, he should tumble in upon me at +midnighthow could I tell from what vile hole he had been coming? + +Landlord! Ive changed my mind about that harpooneer.I shant sleep +with him. Ill try the bench here. + +Just as you please; Im sorry I cant spare ye a tablecloth for a +mattress, and its a plaguy rough board herefeeling of the knots and +notches. But wait a bit, Skrimshander; Ive got a carpenters plane +there in the barwait, I say, and Ill make ye snug enough. So saying +he procured the plane; and with his old silk handkerchief first dusting +the bench, vigorously set to planing away at my bed, the while grinning +like an ape. The shavings flew right and left; till at last the +plane-iron came bump against an indestructible knot. The landlord was +near spraining his wrist, and I told him for heavens sake to quitthe +bed was soft enough to suit me, and I did not know how all the planing +in the world could make eider down of a pine plank. So gathering up the +shavings with another grin, and throwing them into the great stove in +the middle of the room, he went about his business, and left me in a +brown study. + +I now took the measure of the bench, and found that it was a foot too +short; but that could be mended with a chair. But it was a foot too +narrow, and the other bench in the room was about four inches higher +than the planed oneso there was no yoking them. I then placed the +first bench lengthwise along the only clear space against the wall, +leaving a little interval between, for my back to settle down in. But I +soon found that there came such a draught of cold air over me from +under the sill of the window, that this plan would never do at all, +especially as another current from the rickety door met the one from +the window, and both together formed a series of small whirlwinds in +the immediate vicinity of the spot where I had thought to spend the +night. + +The devil fetch that harpooneer, thought I, but stop, couldnt I steal +a march on himbolt his door inside, and jump into his bed, not to be +wakened by the most violent knockings? It seemed no bad idea; but upon +second thoughts I dismissed it. For who could tell but what the next +morning, so soon as I popped out of the room, the harpooneer might be +standing in the entry, all ready to knock me down! + +Still, looking round me again, and seeing no possible chance of +spending a sufferable night unless in some other persons bed, I began +to think that after all I might be cherishing unwarrantable prejudices +against this unknown harpooneer. Thinks I, Ill wait awhile; he must be +dropping in before long. Ill have a good look at him then, and perhaps +we may become jolly good bedfellows after alltheres no telling. + +But though the other boarders kept coming in by ones, twos, and threes, +and going to bed, yet no sign of my harpooneer. + +Landlord! said I, what sort of a chap is hedoes he always keep such +late hours? It was now hard upon twelve oclock. + +The landlord chuckled again with his lean chuckle, and seemed to be +mightily tickled at something beyond my comprehension. No, he +answered, generally hes an early birdairley to bed and airley to +riseyes, hes the bird what catches the worm. But to-night he went out +a peddling, you see, and I dont see what on airth keeps him so late, +unless, may be, he cant sell his head. + +Cant sell his head?What sort of a bamboozingly story is this you are +telling me? getting into a towering rage. Do you pretend to say, +landlord, that this harpooneer is actually engaged this blessed +Saturday night, or rather Sunday morning, in peddling his head around +this town? + +Thats precisely it, said the landlord, and I told him he couldnt +sell it here, the markets overstocked. + +With what? shouted I. + +With heads to be sure; aint there too many heads in the world? + +I tell you what it is, landlord, said I quite calmly, youd better +stop spinning that yarn to meIm not green. + +May be not, taking out a stick and whittling a toothpick, but I +rayther guess youll be done _brown_ if that ere harpooneer hears you a +slanderin his head. + +Ill break it for him, said I, now flying into a passion again at +this unaccountable farrago of the landlords. + +Its broke aready, said he. + +Broke, said I_broke_, do you mean? + +Sartain, and thats the very reason he cant sell it, I guess. + +Landlord, said I, going up to him as cool as Mt. Hecla in a +snow-stormlandlord, stop whittling. You and I must understand one +another, and that too without delay. I come to your house and want a +bed; you tell me you can only give me half a one; that the other half +belongs to a certain harpooneer. And about this harpooneer, whom I have +not yet seen, you persist in telling me the most mystifying and +exasperating stories tending to beget in me an uncomfortable feeling +towards the man whom you design for my bedfellowa sort of connexion, +landlord, which is an intimate and confidential one in the highest +degree. I now demand of you to speak out and tell me who and what this +harpooneer is, and whether I shall be in all respects safe to spend the +night with him. And in the first place, you will be so good as to unsay +that story about selling his head, which if true I take to be good +evidence that this harpooneer is stark mad, and Ive no idea of +sleeping with a madman; and you, sir, _you_ I mean, landlord, _you_, +sir, by trying to induce me to do so knowingly, would thereby render +yourself liable to a criminal prosecution. + +Wall, said the landlord, fetching a long breath, thats a purty long +sarmon for a chap that rips a little now and then. But be easy, be +easy, this here harpooneer I have been tellin you of has just arrived +from the south seas, where he bought up a lot of balmed New Zealand +heads (great curios, you know), and hes sold all on em but one, and +that one hes trying to sell to-night, cause to-morrows Sunday, and it +would not do to be sellin human heads about the streets when folks is +goin to churches. He wanted to, last Sunday, but I stopped him just as +he was goin out of the door with four heads strung on a string, for +all the airth like a string of inions. + +This account cleared up the otherwise unaccountable mystery, and showed +that the landlord, after all, had had no idea of fooling mebut at the +same time what could I think of a harpooneer who stayed out of a +Saturday night clean into the holy Sabbath, engaged in such a cannibal +business as selling the heads of dead idolators? + +Depend upon it, landlord, that harpooneer is a dangerous man. + +He pays reglar, was the rejoinder. But come, its getting dreadful +late, you had better be turning flukesits a nice bed; Sal and me +slept in that ere bed the night we were spliced. Theres plenty of room +for two to kick about in that bed; its an almighty big bed that. Why, +afore we give it up, Sal used to put our Sam and little Johnny in the +foot of it. But I got a dreaming and sprawling about one night, and +somehow, Sam got pitched on the floor, and came near breaking his arm. +Arter that, Sal said it wouldnt do. Come along here, Ill give ye a +glim in a jiffy; and so saying he lighted a candle and held it towards +me, offering to lead the way. But I stood irresolute; when looking at a +clock in the corner, he exclaimed I vum its Sundayyou wont see that +harpooneer to-night; hes come to anchor somewherecome along then; +_do_ come; _wont_ ye come? + +I considered the matter a moment, and then up stairs we went, and I was +ushered into a small room, cold as a clam, and furnished, sure enough, +with a prodigious bed, almost big enough indeed for any four +harpooneers to sleep abreast. + +There, said the landlord, placing the candle on a crazy old sea chest +that did double duty as a wash-stand and centre table; there, make +yourself comfortable now, and good night to ye. I turned round from +eyeing the bed, but he had disappeared. + +Folding back the counterpane, I stooped over the bed. Though none of +the most elegant, it yet stood the scrutiny tolerably well. I then +glanced round the room; and besides the bedstead and centre table, +could see no other furniture belonging to the place, but a rude shelf, +the four walls, and a papered fireboard representing a man striking a +whale. Of things not properly belonging to the room, there was a +hammock lashed up, and thrown upon the floor in one corner; also a +large seamans bag, containing the harpooneers wardrobe, no doubt in +lieu of a land trunk. Likewise, there was a parcel of outlandish bone +fish hooks on the shelf over the fire-place, and a tall harpoon +standing at the head of the bed. + +But what is this on the chest? I took it up, and held it close to the +light, and felt it, and smelt it, and tried every way possible to +arrive at some satisfactory conclusion concerning it. I can compare it +to nothing but a large door mat, ornamented at the edges with little +tinkling tags something like the stained porcupine quills round an +Indian moccasin. There was a hole or slit in the middle of this mat, as +you see the same in South American ponchos. But could it be possible +that any sober harpooneer would get into a door mat, and parade the +streets of any Christian town in that sort of guise? I put it on, to +try it, and it weighed me down like a hamper, being uncommonly shaggy +and thick, and I thought a little damp, as though this mysterious +harpooneer had been wearing it of a rainy day. I went up in it to a bit +of glass stuck against the wall, and I never saw such a sight in my +life. I tore myself out of it in such a hurry that I gave myself a kink +in the neck. + +I sat down on the side of the bed, and commenced thinking about this +head-peddling harpooneer, and his door mat. After thinking some time on +the bed-side, I got up and took off my monkey jacket, and then stood in +the middle of the room thinking. I then took off my coat, and thought a +little more in my shirt sleeves. But beginning to feel very cold now, +half undressed as I was, and remembering what the landlord said about +the harpooneers not coming home at all that night, it being so very +late, I made no more ado, but jumped out of my pantaloons and boots, +and then blowing out the light tumbled into bed, and commended myself +to the care of heaven. + +Whether that mattress was stuffed with corn-cobs or broken crockery, +there is no telling, but I rolled about a good deal, and could not +sleep for a long time. At last I slid off into a light doze, and had +pretty nearly made a good offing towards the land of Nod, when I heard +a heavy footfall in the passage, and saw a glimmer of light come into +the room from under the door. + +Lord save me, thinks I, that must be the harpooneer, the infernal +head-peddler. But I lay perfectly still, and resolved not to say a word +till spoken to. Holding a light in one hand, and that identical New +Zealand head in the other, the stranger entered the room, and without +looking towards the bed, placed his candle a good way off from me on +the floor in one corner, and then began working away at the knotted +cords of the large bag I before spoke of as being in the room. I was +all eagerness to see his face, but he kept it averted for some time +while employed in unlacing the bags mouth. This accomplished, however, +he turned roundwhen, good heavens! what a sight! Such a face! It was +of a dark, purplish, yellow colour, here and there stuck over with +large blackish looking squares. Yes, its just as I thought, hes a +terrible bedfellow; hes been in a fight, got dreadfully cut, and here +he is, just from the surgeon. But at that moment he chanced to turn his +face so towards the light, that I plainly saw they could not be +sticking-plasters at all, those black squares on his cheeks. They were +stains of some sort or other. At first I knew not what to make of this; +but soon an inkling of the truth occurred to me. I remembered a story +of a white mana whaleman toowho, falling among the cannibals, had +been tattooed by them. I concluded that this harpooneer, in the course +of his distant voyages, must have met with a similar adventure. And +what is it, thought I, after all! Its only his outside; a man can be +honest in any sort of skin. But then, what to make of his unearthly +complexion, that part of it, I mean, lying round about, and completely +independent of the squares of tattooing. To be sure, it might be +nothing but a good coat of tropical tanning; but I never heard of a hot +suns tanning a white man into a purplish yellow one. However, I had +never been in the South Seas; and perhaps the sun there produced these +extraordinary effects upon the skin. Now, while all these ideas were +passing through me like lightning, this harpooneer never noticed me at +all. But, after some difficulty having opened his bag, he commenced +fumbling in it, and presently pulled out a sort of tomahawk, and a +seal-skin wallet with the hair on. Placing these on the old chest in +the middle of the room, he then took the New Zealand heada ghastly +thing enoughand crammed it down into the bag. He now took off his +hata new beaver hatwhen I came nigh singing out with fresh surprise. +There was no hair on his headnone to speak of at leastnothing but a +small scalp-knot twisted up on his forehead. His bald purplish head now +looked for all the world like a mildewed skull. Had not the stranger +stood between me and the door, I would have bolted out of it quicker +than ever I bolted a dinner. + +Even as it was, I thought something of slipping out of the window, but +it was the second floor back. I am no coward, but what to make of this +head-peddling purple rascal altogether passed my comprehension. +Ignorance is the parent of fear, and being completely nonplussed and +confounded about the stranger, I confess I was now as much afraid of +him as if it was the devil himself who had thus broken into my room at +the dead of night. In fact, I was so afraid of him that I was not game +enough just then to address him, and demand a satisfactory answer +concerning what seemed inexplicable in him. + +Meanwhile, he continued the business of undressing, and at last showed +his chest and arms. As I live, these covered parts of him were +checkered with the same squares as his face; his back, too, was all +over the same dark squares; he seemed to have been in a Thirty Years +War, and just escaped from it with a sticking-plaster shirt. Still +more, his very legs were marked, as if a parcel of dark green frogs +were running up the trunks of young palms. It was now quite plain that +he must be some abominable savage or other shipped aboard of a whaleman +in the South Seas, and so landed in this Christian country. I quaked to +think of it. A peddler of heads tooperhaps the heads of his own +brothers. He might take a fancy to mineheavens! look at that tomahawk! + +But there was no time for shuddering, for now the savage went about +something that completely fascinated my attention, and convinced me +that he must indeed be a heathen. Going to his heavy grego, or wrapall, +or dreadnaught, which he had previously hung on a chair, he fumbled in +the pockets, and produced at length a curious little deformed image +with a hunch on its back, and exactly the colour of a three days old +Congo baby. Remembering the embalmed head, at first I almost thought +that this black manikin was a real baby preserved in some similar +manner. But seeing that it was not at all limber, and that it glistened +a good deal like polished ebony, I concluded that it must be nothing +but a wooden idol, which indeed it proved to be. For now the savage +goes up to the empty fire-place, and removing the papered fire-board, +sets up this little hunch-backed image, like a tenpin, between the +andirons. The chimney jambs and all the bricks inside were very sooty, +so that I thought this fire-place made a very appropriate little shrine +or chapel for his Congo idol. + +I now screwed my eyes hard towards the half hidden image, feeling but +ill at ease meantimeto see what was next to follow. First he takes +about a double handful of shavings out of his grego pocket, and places +them carefully before the idol; then laying a bit of ship biscuit on +top and applying the flame from the lamp, he kindled the shavings into +a sacrificial blaze. Presently, after many hasty snatches into the +fire, and still hastier withdrawals of his fingers (whereby he seemed +to be scorching them badly), he at last succeeded in drawing out the +biscuit; then blowing off the heat and ashes a little, he made a polite +offer of it to the little negro. But the little devil did not seem to +fancy such dry sort of fare at all; he never moved his lips. All these +strange antics were accompanied by still stranger guttural noises from +the devotee, who seemed to be praying in a sing-song or else singing +some pagan psalmody or other, during which his face twitched about in +the most unnatural manner. At last extinguishing the fire, he took the +idol up very unceremoniously, and bagged it again in his grego pocket +as carelessly as if he were a sportsman bagging a dead woodcock. + +All these queer proceedings increased my uncomfortableness, and seeing +him now exhibiting strong symptoms of concluding his business +operations, and jumping into bed with me, I thought it was high time, +now or never, before the light was put out, to break the spell in which +I had so long been bound. + +But the interval I spent in deliberating what to say, was a fatal one. +Taking up his tomahawk from the table, he examined the head of it for +an instant, and then holding it to the light, with his mouth at the +handle, he puffed out great clouds of tobacco smoke. The next moment +the light was extinguished, and this wild cannibal, tomahawk between +his teeth, sprang into bed with me. I sang out, I could not help it +now; and giving a sudden grunt of astonishment he began feeling me. + +Stammering out something, I knew not what, I rolled away from him +against the wall, and then conjured him, whoever or whatever he might +be, to keep quiet, and let me get up and light the lamp again. But his +guttural responses satisfied me at once that he but ill comprehended my +meaning. + +Who-e debel you?he at last saidyou no speak-e, dam-me, I kill-e. +And so saying the lighted tomahawk began flourishing about me in the +dark. + +Landlord, for Gods sake, Peter Coffin! shouted I. Landlord! Watch! +Coffin! Angels! save me! + +Speak-e! tell-ee me who-ee be, or dam-me, I kill-e! again growled the +cannibal, while his horrid flourishings of the tomahawk scattered the +hot tobacco ashes about me till I thought my linen would get on fire. +But thank heaven, at that moment the landlord came into the room light +in hand, and leaping from the bed I ran up to him. + +Dont be afraid now, said he, grinning again, Queequeg here wouldnt +harm a hair of your head. + +Stop your grinning, shouted I, and why didnt you tell me that that +infernal harpooneer was a cannibal? + +I thought ye knowd it;didnt I tell ye, he was a peddlin heads +around town?but turn flukes again and go to sleep. Queequeg, look +hereyou sabbee me, I sabbeeyou this man sleepe youyou sabbee? + +Me sabbee plentygrunted Queequeg, puffing away at his pipe and +sitting up in bed. + +You gettee in, he added, motioning to me with his tomahawk, and +throwing the clothes to one side. He really did this in not only a +civil but a really kind and charitable way. I stood looking at him a +moment. For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely +looking cannibal. Whats all this fuss I have been making about, +thought I to myselfthe mans a human being just as I am: he has just +as much reason to fear me, as I have to be afraid of him. Better sleep +with a sober cannibal than a drunken Christian. + +Landlord, said I, tell him to stash his tomahawk there, or pipe, or +whatever you call it; tell him to stop smoking, in short, and I will +turn in with him. But I dont fancy having a man smoking in bed with +me. Its dangerous. Besides, I aint insured. + +This being told to Queequeg, he at once complied, and again politely +motioned me to get into bedrolling over to one side as much as to +sayI wont touch a leg of ye. + +Good night, landlord, said I, you may go. + +I turned in, and never slept better in my life. + + +CHAPTER 4. The Counterpane. + +Upon waking next morning about daylight, I found Queequegs arm thrown +over me in the most loving and affectionate manner. You had almost +thought I had been his wife. The counterpane was of patchwork, full of +odd little parti-coloured squares and triangles; and this arm of his +tattooed all over with an interminable Cretan labyrinth of a figure, no +two parts of which were of one precise shadeowing I suppose to his +keeping his arm at sea unmethodically in sun and shade, his shirt +sleeves irregularly rolled up at various timesthis same arm of his, I +say, looked for all the world like a strip of that same patchwork +quilt. Indeed, partly lying on it as the arm did when I first awoke, I +could hardly tell it from the quilt, they so blended their hues +together; and it was only by the sense of weight and pressure that I +could tell that Queequeg was hugging me. + +My sensations were strange. Let me try to explain them. When I was a +child, I well remember a somewhat similar circumstance that befell me; +whether it was a reality or a dream, I never could entirely settle. The +circumstance was this. I had been cutting up some caper or otherI +think it was trying to crawl up the chimney, as I had seen a little +sweep do a few days previous; and my stepmother who, somehow or other, +was all the time whipping me, or sending me to bed supperless,my +mother dragged me by the legs out of the chimney and packed me off to +bed, though it was only two oclock in the afternoon of the 21st June, +the longest day in the year in our hemisphere. I felt dreadfully. But +there was no help for it, so up stairs I went to my little room in the +third floor, undressed myself as slowly as possible so as to kill time, +and with a bitter sigh got between the sheets. + +I lay there dismally calculating that sixteen entire hours must elapse +before I could hope for a resurrection. Sixteen hours in bed! the small +of my back ached to think of it. And it was so light too; the sun +shining in at the window, and a great rattling of coaches in the +streets, and the sound of gay voices all over the house. I felt worse +and worseat last I got up, dressed, and softly going down in my +stockinged feet, sought out my stepmother, and suddenly threw myself at +her feet, beseeching her as a particular favour to give me a good +slippering for my misbehaviour; anything indeed but condemning me to +lie abed such an unendurable length of time. But she was the best and +most conscientious of stepmothers, and back I had to go to my room. For +several hours I lay there broad awake, feeling a great deal worse than +I have ever done since, even from the greatest subsequent misfortunes. +At last I must have fallen into a troubled nightmare of a doze; and +slowly waking from ithalf steeped in dreamsI opened my eyes, and the +before sun-lit room was now wrapped in outer darkness. Instantly I felt +a shock running through all my frame; nothing was to be seen, and +nothing was to be heard; but a supernatural hand seemed placed in mine. +My arm hung over the counterpane, and the nameless, unimaginable, +silent form or phantom, to which the hand belonged, seemed closely +seated by my bed-side. For what seemed ages piled on ages, I lay there, +frozen with the most awful fears, not daring to drag away my hand; yet +ever thinking that if I could but stir it one single inch, the horrid +spell would be broken. I knew not how this consciousness at last glided +away from me; but waking in the morning, I shudderingly remembered it +all, and for days and weeks and months afterwards I lost myself in +confounding attempts to explain the mystery. Nay, to this very hour, I +often puzzle myself with it. + +Now, take away the awful fear, and my sensations at feeling the +supernatural hand in mine were very similar, in their strangeness, to +those which I experienced on waking up and seeing Queequegs pagan arm +thrown round me. But at length all the past nights events soberly +recurred, one by one, in fixed reality, and then I lay only alive to +the comical predicament. For though I tried to move his armunlock his +bridegroom claspyet, sleeping as he was, he still hugged me tightly, +as though naught but death should part us twain. I now strove to rouse +himQueequeg!but his only answer was a snore. I then rolled over, my +neck feeling as if it were in a horse-collar; and suddenly felt a +slight scratch. Throwing aside the counterpane, there lay the tomahawk +sleeping by the savages side, as if it were a hatchet-faced baby. A +pretty pickle, truly, thought I; abed here in a strange house in the +broad day, with a cannibal and a tomahawk! Queequeg!in the name of +goodness, Queequeg, wake! At length, by dint of much wriggling, and +loud and incessant expostulations upon the unbecomingness of his +hugging a fellow male in that matrimonial sort of style, I succeeded in +extracting a grunt; and presently, he drew back his arm, shook himself +all over like a Newfoundland dog just from the water, and sat up in +bed, stiff as a pike-staff, looking at me, and rubbing his eyes as if +he did not altogether remember how I came to be there, though a dim +consciousness of knowing something about me seemed slowly dawning over +him. Meanwhile, I lay quietly eyeing him, having no serious misgivings +now, and bent upon narrowly observing so curious a creature. When, at +last, his mind seemed made up touching the character of his bedfellow, +and he became, as it were, reconciled to the fact; he jumped out upon +the floor, and by certain signs and sounds gave me to understand that, +if it pleased me, he would dress first and then leave me to dress +afterwards, leaving the whole apartment to myself. Thinks I, Queequeg, +under the circumstances, this is a very civilized overture; but, the +truth is, these savages have an innate sense of delicacy, say what you +will; it is marvellous how essentially polite they are. I pay this +particular compliment to Queequeg, because he treated me with so much +civility and consideration, while I was guilty of great rudeness; +staring at him from the bed, and watching all his toilette motions; for +the time my curiosity getting the better of my breeding. Nevertheless, +a man like Queequeg you dont see every day, he and his ways were well +worth unusual regarding. + +He commenced dressing at top by donning his beaver hat, a very tall +one, by the by, and thenstill minus his trowsershe hunted up his +boots. What under the heavens he did it for, I cannot tell, but his +next movement was to crush himselfboots in hand, and hat onunder the +bed; when, from sundry violent gaspings and strainings, I inferred he +was hard at work booting himself; though by no law of propriety that I +ever heard of, is any man required to be private when putting on his +boots. But Queequeg, do you see, was a creature in the transition +stageneither caterpillar nor butterfly. He was just enough civilized +to show off his outlandishness in the strangest possible manners. His +education was not yet completed. He was an undergraduate. If he had not +been a small degree civilized, he very probably would not have troubled +himself with boots at all; but then, if he had not been still a savage, +he never would have dreamt of getting under the bed to put them on. At +last, he emerged with his hat very much dented and crushed down over +his eyes, and began creaking and limping about the room, as if, not +being much accustomed to boots, his pair of damp, wrinkled cowhide +onesprobably not made to order eitherrather pinched and tormented him +at the first go off of a bitter cold morning. + +Seeing, now, that there were no curtains to the window, and that the +street being very narrow, the house opposite commanded a plain view +into the room, and observing more and more the indecorous figure that +Queequeg made, staving about with little else but his hat and boots on; +I begged him as well as I could, to accelerate his toilet somewhat, and +particularly to get into his pantaloons as soon as possible. He +complied, and then proceeded to wash himself. At that time in the +morning any Christian would have washed his face; but Queequeg, to my +amazement, contented himself with restricting his ablutions to his +chest, arms, and hands. He then donned his waistcoat, and taking up a +piece of hard soap on the wash-stand centre table, dipped it into water +and commenced lathering his face. I was watching to see where he kept +his razor, when lo and behold, he takes the harpoon from the bed +corner, slips out the long wooden stock, unsheathes the head, whets it +a little on his boot, and striding up to the bit of mirror against the +wall, begins a vigorous scraping, or rather harpooning of his cheeks. +Thinks I, Queequeg, this is using Rogerss best cutlery with a +vengeance. Afterwards I wondered the less at this operation when I came +to know of what fine steel the head of a harpoon is made, and how +exceedingly sharp the long straight edges are always kept. + +The rest of his toilet was soon achieved, and he proudly marched out of +the room, wrapped up in his great pilot monkey jacket, and sporting his +harpoon like a marshals baton. + + +CHAPTER 5. Breakfast. + +I quickly followed suit, and descending into the bar-room accosted the +grinning landlord very pleasantly. I cherished no malice towards him, +though he had been skylarking with me not a little in the matter of my +bedfellow. + +However, a good laugh is a mighty good thing, and rather too scarce a +good thing; the mores the pity. So, if any one man, in his own proper +person, afford stuff for a good joke to anybody, let him not be +backward, but let him cheerfully allow himself to spend and be spent in +that way. And the man that has anything bountifully laughable about +him, be sure there is more in that man than you perhaps think for. + +The bar-room was now full of the boarders who had been dropping in the +night previous, and whom I had not as yet had a good look at. They were +nearly all whalemen; chief mates, and second mates, and third mates, +and sea carpenters, and sea coopers, and sea blacksmiths, and +harpooneers, and ship keepers; a brown and brawny company, with bosky +beards; an unshorn, shaggy set, all wearing monkey jackets for morning +gowns. + +You could pretty plainly tell how long each one had been ashore. This +young fellows healthy cheek is like a sun-toasted pear in hue, and +would seem to smell almost as musky; he cannot have been three days +landed from his Indian voyage. That man next him looks a few shades +lighter; you might say a touch of satin wood is in him. In the +complexion of a third still lingers a tropic tawn, but slightly +bleached withal; _he_ doubtless has tarried whole weeks ashore. But who +could show a cheek like Queequeg? which, barred with various tints, +seemed like the Andes western slope, to show forth in one array, +contrasting climates, zone by zone. + +Grub, ho! now cried the landlord, flinging open a door, and in we +went to breakfast. + +They say that men who have seen the world, thereby become quite at ease +in manner, quite self-possessed in company. Not always, though: +Ledyard, the great New England traveller, and Mungo Park, the Scotch +one; of all men, they possessed the least assurance in the parlor. But +perhaps the mere crossing of Siberia in a sledge drawn by dogs as +Ledyard did, or the taking a long solitary walk on an empty stomach, in +the negro heart of Africa, which was the sum of poor Mungos +performancesthis kind of travel, I say, may not be the very best mode +of attaining a high social polish. Still, for the most part, that sort +of thing is to be had anywhere. + +These reflections just here are occasioned by the circumstance that +after we were all seated at the table, and I was preparing to hear some +good stories about whaling; to my no small surprise, nearly every man +maintained a profound silence. And not only that, but they looked +embarrassed. Yes, here were a set of sea-dogs, many of whom without the +slightest bashfulness had boarded great whales on the high seasentire +strangers to themand duelled them dead without winking; and yet, here +they sat at a social breakfast tableall of the same calling, all of +kindred tasteslooking round as sheepishly at each other as though they +had never been out of sight of some sheepfold among the Green +Mountains. A curious sight; these bashful bears, these timid warrior +whalemen! + +But as for Queequegwhy, Queequeg sat there among themat the head of +the table, too, it so chanced; as cool as an icicle. To be sure I +cannot say much for his breeding. His greatest admirer could not have +cordially justified his bringing his harpoon into breakfast with him, +and using it there without ceremony; reaching over the table with it, +to the imminent jeopardy of many heads, and grappling the beefsteaks +towards him. But _that_ was certainly very coolly done by him, and +every one knows that in most peoples estimation, to do anything coolly +is to do it genteelly. + +We will not speak of all Queequegs peculiarities here; how he eschewed +coffee and hot rolls, and applied his undivided attention to +beefsteaks, done rare. Enough, that when breakfast was over he withdrew +like the rest into the public room, lighted his tomahawk-pipe, and was +sitting there quietly digesting and smoking with his inseparable hat +on, when I sallied out for a stroll. + + +CHAPTER 6. The Street. + +If I had been astonished at first catching a glimpse of so outlandish +an individual as Queequeg circulating among the polite society of a +civilized town, that astonishment soon departed upon taking my first +daylight stroll through the streets of New Bedford. + +In thoroughfares nigh the docks, any considerable seaport will +frequently offer to view the queerest looking nondescripts from foreign +parts. Even in Broadway and Chestnut streets, Mediterranean mariners +will sometimes jostle the affrighted ladies. Regent Street is not +unknown to Lascars and Malays; and at Bombay, in the Apollo Green, live +Yankees have often scared the natives. But New Bedford beats all Water +Street and Wapping. In these last-mentioned haunts you see only +sailors; but in New Bedford, actual cannibals stand chatting at street +corners; savages outright; many of whom yet carry on their bones unholy +flesh. It makes a stranger stare. + +But, besides the Feegeeans, Tongatobooarrs, Erromanggoans, Pannangians, +and Brighggians, and, besides the wild specimens of the whaling-craft +which unheeded reel about the streets, you will see other sights still +more curious, certainly more comical. There weekly arrive in this town +scores of green Vermonters and New Hampshire men, all athirst for gain +and glory in the fishery. They are mostly young, of stalwart frames; +fellows who have felled forests, and now seek to drop the axe and +snatch the whale-lance. Many are as green as the Green Mountains whence +they came. In some things you would think them but a few hours old. +Look there! that chap strutting round the corner. He wears a beaver hat +and swallow-tailed coat, girdled with a sailor-belt and sheath-knife. +Here comes another with a sou-wester and a bombazine cloak. + +No town-bred dandy will compare with a country-bred oneI mean a +downright bumpkin dandya fellow that, in the dog-days, will mow his +two acres in buckskin gloves for fear of tanning his hands. Now when a +country dandy like this takes it into his head to make a distinguished +reputation, and joins the great whale-fishery, you should see the +comical things he does upon reaching the seaport. In bespeaking his +sea-outfit, he orders bell-buttons to his waistcoats; straps to his +canvas trowsers. Ah, poor Hay-Seed! how bitterly will burst those +straps in the first howling gale, when thou art driven, straps, +buttons, and all, down the throat of the tempest. + +But think not that this famous town has only harpooneers, cannibals, +and bumpkins to show her visitors. Not at all. Still New Bedford is a +queer place. Had it not been for us whalemen, that tract of land would +this day perhaps have been in as howling condition as the coast of +Labrador. As it is, parts of her back country are enough to frighten +one, they look so bony. The town itself is perhaps the dearest place to +live in, in all New England. It is a land of oil, true enough: but not +like Canaan; a land, also, of corn and wine. The streets do not run +with milk; nor in the spring-time do they pave them with fresh eggs. +Yet, in spite of this, nowhere in all America will you find more +patrician-like houses; parks and gardens more opulent, than in New +Bedford. Whence came they? how planted upon this once scraggy scoria of +a country? + +Go and gaze upon the iron emblematical harpoons round yonder lofty +mansion, and your question will be answered. Yes; all these brave +houses and flowery gardens came from the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian +oceans. One and all, they were harpooned and dragged up hither from the +bottom of the sea. Can Herr Alexander perform a feat like that? + +In New Bedford, fathers, they say, give whales for dowers to their +daughters, and portion off their nieces with a few porpoises a-piece. +You must go to New Bedford to see a brilliant wedding; for, they say, +they have reservoirs of oil in every house, and every night recklessly +burn their lengths in spermaceti candles. + +In summer time, the town is sweet to see; full of fine mapleslong +avenues of green and gold. And in August, high in air, the beautiful +and bountiful horse-chestnuts, candelabra-wise, proffer the passer-by +their tapering upright cones of congregated blossoms. So omnipotent is +art; which in many a district of New Bedford has superinduced bright +terraces of flowers upon the barren refuse rocks thrown aside at +creations final day. + +And the women of New Bedford, they bloom like their own red roses. But +roses only bloom in summer; whereas the fine carnation of their cheeks +is perennial as sunlight in the seventh heavens. Elsewhere match that +bloom of theirs, ye cannot, save in Salem, where they tell me the young +girls breathe such musk, their sailor sweethearts smell them miles off +shore, as though they were drawing nigh the odorous Moluccas instead of +the Puritanic sands. + + +CHAPTER 7. The Chapel. + +In this same New Bedford there stands a Whalemans Chapel, and few are +the moody fishermen, shortly bound for the Indian Ocean or Pacific, who +fail to make a Sunday visit to the spot. I am sure that I did not. + +Returning from my first morning stroll, I again sallied out upon this +special errand. The sky had changed from clear, sunny cold, to driving +sleet and mist. Wrapping myself in my shaggy jacket of the cloth called +bearskin, I fought my way against the stubborn storm. Entering, I found +a small scattered congregation of sailors, and sailors wives and +widows. A muffled silence reigned, only broken at times by the shrieks +of the storm. Each silent worshipper seemed purposely sitting apart +from the other, as if each silent grief were insular and +incommunicable. The chaplain had not yet arrived; and there these +silent islands of men and women sat steadfastly eyeing several marble +tablets, with black borders, masoned into the wall on either side the +pulpit. Three of them ran something like the following, but I do not +pretend to quote: + +SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF JOHN TALBOT, Who, at the age of eighteen, was +lost overboard, Near the Isle of Desolation, off Patagonia, _November_ +1_st_, 1836. THIS TABLET Is erected to his Memory BY HIS SISTER. + +SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF ROBERT LONG, WILLIS ELLERY, NATHAN COLEMAN, +WALTER CANNY, SETH MACY, AND SAMUEL GLEIG, Forming one of the boats +crews OF THE SHIP ELIZA Who were towed out of sight by a Whale, On the +Off-shore Ground in the PACIFIC, _December_ 31_st_, 1839. THIS MARBLE +Is here placed by their surviving SHIPMATES. + +SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF The late CAPTAIN EZEKIEL HARDY, Who in the bows +of his boat was killed by a Sperm Whale on the coast of Japan, _August_ +3_d_, 1833. THIS TABLET Is erected to his Memory BY HIS WIDOW. + +Shaking off the sleet from my ice-glazed hat and jacket, I seated +myself near the door, and turning sideways was surprised to see +Queequeg near me. Affected by the solemnity of the scene, there was a +wondering gaze of incredulous curiosity in his countenance. This savage +was the only person present who seemed to notice my entrance; because +he was the only one who could not read, and, therefore, was not reading +those frigid inscriptions on the wall. Whether any of the relatives of +the seamen whose names appeared there were now among the congregation, +I knew not; but so many are the unrecorded accidents in the fishery, +and so plainly did several women present wear the countenance if not +the trappings of some unceasing grief, that I feel sure that here +before me were assembled those, in whose unhealing hearts the sight of +those bleak tablets sympathetically caused the old wounds to bleed +afresh. + +Oh! ye whose dead lie buried beneath the green grass; who standing +among flowers can sayhere, _here_ lies my beloved; ye know not the +desolation that broods in bosoms like these. What bitter blanks in +those black-bordered marbles which cover no ashes! What despair in +those immovable inscriptions! What deadly voids and unbidden +infidelities in the lines that seem to gnaw upon all Faith, and refuse +resurrections to the beings who have placelessly perished without a +grave. As well might those tablets stand in the cave of Elephanta as +here. + +In what census of living creatures, the dead of mankind are included; +why it is that a universal proverb says of them, that they tell no +tales, though containing more secrets than the Goodwin Sands; how it is +that to his name who yesterday departed for the other world, we prefix +so significant and infidel a word, and yet do not thus entitle him, if +he but embarks for the remotest Indies of this living earth; why the +Life Insurance Companies pay death-forfeitures upon immortals; in what +eternal, unstirring paralysis, and deadly, hopeless trance, yet lies +antique Adam who died sixty round centuries ago; how it is that we +still refuse to be comforted for those who we nevertheless maintain are +dwelling in unspeakable bliss; why all the living so strive to hush all +the dead; wherefore but the rumor of a knocking in a tomb will terrify +a whole city. All these things are not without their meanings. + +But Faith, like a jackal, feeds among the tombs, and even from these +dead doubts she gathers her most vital hope. + +It needs scarcely to be told, with what feelings, on the eve of a +Nantucket voyage, I regarded those marble tablets, and by the murky +light of that darkened, doleful day read the fate of the whalemen who +had gone before me. Yes, Ishmael, the same fate may be thine. But +somehow I grew merry again. Delightful inducements to embark, fine +chance for promotion, it seemsaye, a stove boat will make me an +immortal by brevet. Yes, there is death in this business of whalinga +speechlessly quick chaotic bundling of a man into Eternity. But what +then? Methinks we have hugely mistaken this matter of Life and Death. +Methinks that what they call my shadow here on earth is my true +substance. Methinks that in looking at things spiritual, we are too +much like oysters observing the sun through the water, and thinking +that thick water the thinnest of air. Methinks my body is but the lees +of my better being. In fact take my body who will, take it I say, it is +not me. And therefore three cheers for Nantucket; and come a stove boat +and stove body when they will, for stave my soul, Jove himself cannot. + + +CHAPTER 8. The Pulpit. + +I had not been seated very long ere a man of a certain venerable +robustness entered; immediately as the storm-pelted door flew back upon +admitting him, a quick regardful eyeing of him by all the congregation, +sufficiently attested that this fine old man was the chaplain. Yes, it +was the famous Father Mapple, so called by the whalemen, among whom he +was a very great favourite. He had been a sailor and a harpooneer in +his youth, but for many years past had dedicated his life to the +ministry. At the time I now write of, Father Mapple was in the hardy +winter of a healthy old age; that sort of old age which seems merging +into a second flowering youth, for among all the fissures of his +wrinkles, there shone certain mild gleams of a newly developing +bloomthe spring verdure peeping forth even beneath Februarys snow. No +one having previously heard his history, could for the first time +behold Father Mapple without the utmost interest, because there were +certain engrafted clerical peculiarities about him, imputable to that +adventurous maritime life he had led. When he entered I observed that +he carried no umbrella, and certainly had not come in his carriage, for +his tarpaulin hat ran down with melting sleet, and his great pilot +cloth jacket seemed almost to drag him to the floor with the weight of +the water it had absorbed. However, hat and coat and overshoes were one +by one removed, and hung up in a little space in an adjacent corner; +when, arrayed in a decent suit, he quietly approached the pulpit. + +Like most old fashioned pulpits, it was a very lofty one, and since a +regular stairs to such a height would, by its long angle with the +floor, seriously contract the already small area of the chapel, the +architect, it seemed, had acted upon the hint of Father Mapple, and +finished the pulpit without a stairs, substituting a perpendicular side +ladder, like those used in mounting a ship from a boat at sea. The wife +of a whaling captain had provided the chapel with a handsome pair of +red worsted man-ropes for this ladder, which, being itself nicely +headed, and stained with a mahogany colour, the whole contrivance, +considering what manner of chapel it was, seemed by no means in bad +taste. Halting for an instant at the foot of the ladder, and with both +hands grasping the ornamental knobs of the man-ropes, Father Mapple +cast a look upwards, and then with a truly sailor-like but still +reverential dexterity, hand over hand, mounted the steps as if +ascending the main-top of his vessel. + +The perpendicular parts of this side ladder, as is usually the case +with swinging ones, were of cloth-covered rope, only the rounds were of +wood, so that at every step there was a joint. At my first glimpse of +the pulpit, it had not escaped me that however convenient for a ship, +these joints in the present instance seemed unnecessary. For I was not +prepared to see Father Mapple after gaining the height, slowly turn +round, and stooping over the pulpit, deliberately drag up the ladder +step by step, till the whole was deposited within, leaving him +impregnable in his little Quebec. + +I pondered some time without fully comprehending the reason for this. +Father Mapple enjoyed such a wide reputation for sincerity and +sanctity, that I could not suspect him of courting notoriety by any +mere tricks of the stage. No, thought I, there must be some sober +reason for this thing; furthermore, it must symbolize something unseen. +Can it be, then, that by that act of physical isolation, he signifies +his spiritual withdrawal for the time, from all outward worldly ties +and connexions? Yes, for replenished with the meat and wine of the +word, to the faithful man of God, this pulpit, I see, is a +self-containing strongholda lofty Ehrenbreitstein, with a perennial +well of water within the walls. + +But the side ladder was not the only strange feature of the place, +borrowed from the chaplains former sea-farings. Between the marble +cenotaphs on either hand of the pulpit, the wall which formed its back +was adorned with a large painting representing a gallant ship beating +against a terrible storm off a lee coast of black rocks and snowy +breakers. But high above the flying scud and dark-rolling clouds, there +floated a little isle of sunlight, from which beamed forth an angels +face; and this bright face shed a distinct spot of radiance upon the +ships tossed deck, something like that silver plate now inserted into +the Victorys plank where Nelson fell. Ah, noble ship, the angel +seemed to say, beat on, beat on, thou noble ship, and bear a hardy +helm; for lo! the sun is breaking through; the clouds are rolling +offserenest azure is at hand. + +Nor was the pulpit itself without a trace of the same sea-taste that +had achieved the ladder and the picture. Its panelled front was in the +likeness of a ships bluff bows, and the Holy Bible rested on a +projecting piece of scroll work, fashioned after a ships fiddle-headed +beak. + +What could be more full of meaning?for the pulpit is ever this earths +foremost part; all the rest comes in its rear; the pulpit leads the +world. From thence it is the storm of Gods quick wrath is first +descried, and the bow must bear the earliest brunt. From thence it is +the God of breezes fair or foul is first invoked for favourable winds. +Yes, the worlds a ship on its passage out, and not a voyage complete; +and the pulpit is its prow. + + +CHAPTER 9. The Sermon. + +Father Mapple rose, and in a mild voice of unassuming authority ordered +the scattered people to condense. Starboard gangway, there! side away +to larboardlarboard gangway to starboard! Midships! midships! + +There was a low rumbling of heavy sea-boots among the benches, and a +still slighter shuffling of womens shoes, and all was quiet again, and +every eye on the preacher. + +He paused a little; then kneeling in the pulpits bows, folded his +large brown hands across his chest, uplifted his closed eyes, and +offered a prayer so deeply devout that he seemed kneeling and praying +at the bottom of the sea. + +This ended, in prolonged solemn tones, like the continual tolling of a +bell in a ship that is foundering at sea in a fogin such tones he +commenced reading the following hymn; but changing his manner towards +the concluding stanzas, burst forth with a pealing exultation and joy + + + The ribs and terrors in the whale, Arched over me a dismal gloom, + While all Gods sun-lit waves rolled by, And lift me deepening down + to doom. + + I saw the opening maw of hell, With endless pains and sorrows there; + Which none but they that feel can tell Oh, I was plunging to + despair. + + In black distress, I called my God, When I could scarce believe him + mine, He bowed his ear to my complaints No more the whale did me + confine. + + With speed he flew to my relief, As on a radiant dolphin borne; + Awful, yet bright, as lightning shone The face of my Deliverer God. + + My song for ever shall record That terrible, that joyful hour; I + give the glory to my God, His all the mercy and the power. + + + + +Nearly all joined in singing this hymn, which swelled high above the +howling of the storm. A brief pause ensued; the preacher slowly turned +over the leaves of the Bible, and at last, folding his hand down upon +the proper page, said: Beloved shipmates, clinch the last verse of the +first chapter of JonahAnd God had prepared a great fish to swallow up +Jonah. + +Shipmates, this book, containing only four chaptersfour yarnsis one +of the smallest strands in the mighty cable of the Scriptures. Yet what +depths of the soul does Jonahs deep sealine sound! what a pregnant +lesson to us is this prophet! What a noble thing is that canticle in +the fishs belly! How billow-like and boisterously grand! We feel the +floods surging over us; we sound with him to the kelpy bottom of the +waters; sea-weed and all the slime of the sea is about us! But _what_ +is this lesson that the book of Jonah teaches? Shipmates, it is a +two-stranded lesson; a lesson to us all as sinful men, and a lesson to +me as a pilot of the living God. As sinful men, it is a lesson to us +all, because it is a story of the sin, hard-heartedness, suddenly +awakened fears, the swift punishment, repentance, prayers, and finally +the deliverance and joy of Jonah. As with all sinners among men, the +sin of this son of Amittai was in his wilful disobedience of the +command of Godnever mind now what that command was, or how +conveyedwhich he found a hard command. But all the things that God +would have us do are hard for us to doremember thatand hence, he +oftener commands us than endeavors to persuade. And if we obey God, we +must disobey ourselves; and it is in this disobeying ourselves, wherein +the hardness of obeying God consists. + +With this sin of disobedience in him, Jonah still further flouts at +God, by seeking to flee from Him. He thinks that a ship made by men +will carry him into countries where God does not reign, but only the +Captains of this earth. He skulks about the wharves of Joppa, and seeks +a ship thats bound for Tarshish. There lurks, perhaps, a hitherto +unheeded meaning here. By all accounts Tarshish could have been no +other city than the modern Cadiz. Thats the opinion of learned men. +And where is Cadiz, shipmates? Cadiz is in Spain; as far by water, from +Joppa, as Jonah could possibly have sailed in those ancient days, when +the Atlantic was an almost unknown sea. Because Joppa, the modern +Jaffa, shipmates, is on the most easterly coast of the Mediterranean, +the Syrian; and Tarshish or Cadiz more than two thousand miles to the +westward from that, just outside the Straits of Gibraltar. See ye not +then, shipmates, that Jonah sought to flee world-wide from God? +Miserable man! Oh! most contemptible and worthy of all scorn; with +slouched hat and guilty eye, skulking from his God; prowling among the +shipping like a vile burglar hastening to cross the seas. So +disordered, self-condemning is his look, that had there been policemen +in those days, Jonah, on the mere suspicion of something wrong, had +been arrested ere he touched a deck. How plainly hes a fugitive! no +baggage, not a hat-box, valise, or carpet-bag,no friends accompany him +to the wharf with their adieux. At last, after much dodging search, he +finds the Tarshish ship receiving the last items of her cargo; and as +he steps on board to see its Captain in the cabin, all the sailors for +the moment desist from hoisting in the goods, to mark the strangers +evil eye. Jonah sees this; but in vain he tries to look all ease and +confidence; in vain essays his wretched smile. Strong intuitions of the +man assure the mariners he can be no innocent. In their gamesome but +still serious way, one whispers to the otherJack, hes robbed a +widow; or, Joe, do you mark him; hes a bigamist; or, Harry lad, I +guess hes the adulterer that broke jail in old Gomorrah, or belike, +one of the missing murderers from Sodom. Another runs to read the bill +thats stuck against the spile upon the wharf to which the ship is +moored, offering five hundred gold coins for the apprehension of a +parricide, and containing a description of his person. He reads, and +looks from Jonah to the bill; while all his sympathetic shipmates now +crowd round Jonah, prepared to lay their hands upon him. Frighted Jonah +trembles, and summoning all his boldness to his face, only looks so +much the more a coward. He will not confess himself suspected; but that +itself is strong suspicion. So he makes the best of it; and when the +sailors find him not to be the man that is advertised, they let him +pass, and he descends into the cabin. + +Whos there? cries the Captain at his busy desk, hurriedly making +out his papers for the CustomsWhos there? Oh! how that harmless +question mangles Jonah! For the instant he almost turns to flee again. +But he rallies. I seek a passage in this ship to Tarshish; how soon +sail ye, sir? Thus far the busy Captain had not looked up to Jonah, +though the man now stands before him; but no sooner does he hear that +hollow voice, than he darts a scrutinizing glance. We sail with the +next coming tide, at last he slowly answered, still intently eyeing +him. No sooner, sir?Soon enough for any honest man that goes a +passenger. Ha! Jonah, thats another stab. But he swiftly calls away +the Captain from that scent. Ill sail with ye,he says,the passage +money how much is that?Ill pay now. For it is particularly written, +shipmates, as if it were a thing not to be overlooked in this history, +that he paid the fare thereof ere the craft did sail. And taken with +the context, this is full of meaning. + +Now Jonahs Captain, shipmates, was one whose discernment detects +crime in any, but whose cupidity exposes it only in the penniless. In +this world, shipmates, sin that pays its way can travel freely, and +without a passport; whereas Virtue, if a pauper, is stopped at all +frontiers. So Jonahs Captain prepares to test the length of Jonahs +purse, ere he judge him openly. He charges him thrice the usual sum; +and its assented to. Then the Captain knows that Jonah is a fugitive; +but at the same time resolves to help a flight that paves its rear with +gold. Yet when Jonah fairly takes out his purse, prudent suspicions +still molest the Captain. He rings every coin to find a counterfeit. +Not a forger, any way, he mutters; and Jonah is put down for his +passage. Point out my state-room, Sir, says Jonah now, Im +travel-weary; I need sleep. Thou lookest like it, says the Captain, +theres thy room. Jonah enters, and would lock the door, but the lock +contains no key. Hearing him foolishly fumbling there, the Captain +laughs lowly to himself, and mutters something about the doors of +convicts cells being never allowed to be locked within. All dressed +and dusty as he is, Jonah throws himself into his berth, and finds the +little state-room ceiling almost resting on his forehead. The air is +close, and Jonah gasps. Then, in that contracted hole, sunk, too, +beneath the ships water-line, Jonah feels the heralding presentiment +of that stifling hour, when the whale shall hold him in the smallest of +his bowels wards. + +Screwed at its axis against the side, a swinging lamp slightly +oscillates in Jonahs room; and the ship, heeling over towards the +wharf with the weight of the last bales received, the lamp, flame and +all, though in slight motion, still maintains a permanent obliquity +with reference to the room; though, in truth, infallibly straight +itself, it but made obvious the false, lying levels among which it +hung. The lamp alarms and frightens Jonah; as lying in his berth his +tormented eyes roll round the place, and this thus far successful +fugitive finds no refuge for his restless glance. But that +contradiction in the lamp more and more appals him. The floor, the +ceiling, and the side, are all awry. Oh! so my conscience hangs in +me! he groans, straight upwards, so it burns; but the chambers of my +soul are all in crookedness! + +Like one who after a night of drunken revelry hies to his bed, still +reeling, but with conscience yet pricking him, as the plungings of the +Roman race-horse but so much the more strike his steel tags into him; +as one who in that miserable plight still turns and turns in giddy +anguish, praying God for annihilation until the fit be passed; and at +last amid the whirl of woe he feels, a deep stupor steals over him, as +over the man who bleeds to death, for conscience is the wound, and +theres naught to staunch it; so, after sore wrestlings in his berth, +Jonahs prodigy of ponderous misery drags him drowning down to sleep. + +And now the time of tide has come; the ship casts off her cables; and +from the deserted wharf the uncheered ship for Tarshish, all careening, +glides to sea. That ship, my friends, was the first of recorded +smugglers! the contraband was Jonah. But the sea rebels; he will not +bear the wicked burden. A dreadful storm comes on, the ship is like to +break. But now when the boatswain calls all hands to lighten her; when +boxes, bales, and jars are clattering overboard; when the wind is +shrieking, and the men are yelling, and every plank thunders with +trampling feet right over Jonahs head; in all this raging tumult, +Jonah sleeps his hideous sleep. He sees no black sky and raging sea, +feels not the reeling timbers, and little hears he or heeds he the far +rush of the mighty whale, which even now with open mouth is cleaving +the seas after him. Aye, shipmates, Jonah was gone down into the sides +of the shipa berth in the cabin as I have taken it, and was fast +asleep. But the frightened master comes to him, and shrieks in his dead +ear, What meanest thou, O, sleeper! arise! Startled from his lethargy +by that direful cry, Jonah staggers to his feet, and stumbling to the +deck, grasps a shroud, to look out upon the sea. But at that moment he +is sprung upon by a panther billow leaping over the bulwarks. Wave +after wave thus leaps into the ship, and finding no speedy vent runs +roaring fore and aft, till the mariners come nigh to drowning while yet +afloat. And ever, as the white moon shows her affrighted face from the +steep gullies in the blackness overhead, aghast Jonah sees the rearing +bowsprit pointing high upward, but soon beat downward again towards the +tormented deep. + +Terrors upon terrors run shouting through his soul. In all his +cringing attitudes, the God-fugitive is now too plainly known. The +sailors mark him; more and more certain grow their suspicions of him, +and at last, fully to test the truth, by referring the whole matter to +high Heaven, they fall to casting lots, to see for whose cause this +great tempest was upon them. The lot is Jonahs; that discovered, then +how furiously they mob him with their questions. What is thine +occupation? Whence comest thou? Thy country? What people? But mark now, +my shipmates, the behavior of poor Jonah. The eager mariners but ask +him who he is, and where from; whereas, they not only receive an answer +to those questions, but likewise another answer to a question not put +by them, but the unsolicited answer is forced from Jonah by the hard +hand of God that is upon him. + +I am a Hebrew, he criesand thenI fear the Lord the God of Heaven +who hath made the sea and the dry land! Fear him, O Jonah? Aye, well +mightest thou fear the Lord God _then!_ Straightway, he now goes on to +make a full confession; whereupon the mariners became more and more +appalled, but still are pitiful. For when Jonah, not yet supplicating +God for mercy, since he but too well knew the darkness of his +deserts,when wretched Jonah cries out to them to take him and cast him +forth into the sea, for he knew that for _his_ sake this great tempest +was upon them; they mercifully turn from him, and seek by other means +to save the ship. But all in vain; the indignant gale howls louder; +then, with one hand raised invokingly to God, with the other they not +unreluctantly lay hold of Jonah. + +And now behold Jonah taken up as an anchor and dropped into the sea; +when instantly an oily calmness floats out from the east, and the sea +is still, as Jonah carries down the gale with him, leaving smooth water +behind. He goes down in the whirling heart of such a masterless +commotion that he scarce heeds the moment when he drops seething into +the yawning jaws awaiting him; and the whale shoots-to all his ivory +teeth, like so many white bolts, upon his prison. Then Jonah prayed +unto the Lord out of the fishs belly. But observe his prayer, and +learn a weighty lesson. For sinful as he is, Jonah does not weep and +wail for direct deliverance. He feels that his dreadful punishment is +just. He leaves all his deliverance to God, contenting himself with +this, that spite of all his pains and pangs, he will still look towards +His holy temple. And here, shipmates, is true and faithful repentance; +not clamorous for pardon, but grateful for punishment. And how pleasing +to God was this conduct in Jonah, is shown in the eventual deliverance +of him from the sea and the whale. Shipmates, I do not place Jonah +before you to be copied for his sin but I do place him before you as a +model for repentance. Sin not; but if you do, take heed to repent of it +like Jonah. + +While he was speaking these words, the howling of the shrieking, +slanting storm without seemed to add new power to the preacher, who, +when describing Jonahs sea-storm, seemed tossed by a storm himself. +His deep chest heaved as with a ground-swell; his tossed arms seemed +the warring elements at work; and the thunders that rolled away from +off his swarthy brow, and the light leaping from his eye, made all his +simple hearers look on him with a quick fear that was strange to them. + +There now came a lull in his look, as he silently turned over the +leaves of the Book once more; and, at last, standing motionless, with +closed eyes, for the moment, seemed communing with God and himself. + +But again he leaned over towards the people, and bowing his head lowly, +with an aspect of the deepest yet manliest humility, he spake these +words: + +Shipmates, God has laid but one hand upon you; both his hands press +upon me. I have read ye by what murky light may be mine the lesson that +Jonah teaches to all sinners; and therefore to ye, and still more to +me, for I am a greater sinner than ye. And now how gladly would I come +down from this mast-head and sit on the hatches there where you sit, +and listen as you listen, while some one of you reads _me_ that other +and more awful lesson which Jonah teaches to _me_, as a pilot of the +living God. How being an anointed pilot-prophet, or speaker of true +things, and bidden by the Lord to sound those unwelcome truths in the +ears of a wicked Nineveh, Jonah, appalled at the hostility he should +raise, fled from his mission, and sought to escape his duty and his God +by taking ship at Joppa. But God is everywhere; Tarshish he never +reached. As we have seen, God came upon him in the whale, and swallowed +him down to living gulfs of doom, and with swift slantings tore him +along into the midst of the seas, where the eddying depths sucked him +ten thousand fathoms down, and the weeds were wrapped about his head, +and all the watery world of woe bowled over him. Yet even then beyond +the reach of any plummetout of the belly of hellwhen the whale +grounded upon the oceans utmost bones, even then, God heard the +engulphed, repenting prophet when he cried. Then God spake unto the +fish; and from the shuddering cold and blackness of the sea, the whale +came breeching up towards the warm and pleasant sun, and all the +delights of air and earth; and vomited out Jonah upon the dry land; +when the word of the Lord came a second time; and Jonah, bruised and +beatenhis ears, like two sea-shells, still multitudinously murmuring +of the oceanJonah did the Almightys bidding. And what was that, +shipmates? To preach the Truth to the face of Falsehood! That was it! + +This, shipmates, this is that other lesson; and woe to that pilot of +the living God who slights it. Woe to him whom this world charms from +Gospel duty! Woe to him who seeks to pour oil upon the waters when God +has brewed them into a gale! Woe to him who seeks to please rather than +to appal! Woe to him whose good name is more to him than goodness! Woe +to him who, in this world, courts not dishonor! Woe to him who would +not be true, even though to be false were salvation! Yea, woe to him +who, as the great Pilot Paul has it, while preaching to others is +himself a castaway! + +He dropped and fell away from himself for a moment; then lifting his +face to them again, showed a deep joy in his eyes, as he cried out with +a heavenly enthusiasm,But oh! shipmates! on the starboard hand of +every woe, there is a sure delight; and higher the top of that delight, +than the bottom of the woe is deep. Is not the main-truck higher than +the kelson is low? Delight is to hima far, far upward, and inward +delightwho against the proud gods and commodores of this earth, ever +stands forth his own inexorable self. Delight is to him whose strong +arms yet support him, when the ship of this base treacherous world has +gone down beneath him. Delight is to him, who gives no quarter in the +truth, and kills, burns, and destroys all sin though he pluck it out +from under the robes of Senators and Judges. Delight,top-gallant +delight is to him, who acknowledges no law or lord, but the Lord his +God, and is only a patriot to heaven. Delight is to him, whom all the +waves of the billows of the seas of the boisterous mob can never shake +from this sure Keel of the Ages. And eternal delight and deliciousness +will be his, who coming to lay him down, can say with his final +breathO Father!chiefly known to me by Thy rodmortal or immortal, +here I die. I have striven to be Thine, more than to be this worlds, +or mine own. Yet this is nothing: I leave eternity to Thee; for what is +man that he should live out the lifetime of his God? + +He said no more, but slowly waving a benediction, covered his face with +his hands, and so remained kneeling, till all the people had departed, +and he was left alone in the place. + + +CHAPTER 10. A Bosom Friend. + +Returning to the Spouter-Inn from the Chapel, I found Queequeg there +quite alone; he having left the Chapel before the benediction some +time. He was sitting on a bench before the fire, with his feet on the +stove hearth, and in one hand was holding close up to his face that +little negro idol of his; peering hard into its face, and with a +jack-knife gently whittling away at its nose, meanwhile humming to +himself in his heathenish way. + +But being now interrupted, he put up the image; and pretty soon, going +to the table, took up a large book there, and placing it on his lap +began counting the pages with deliberate regularity; at every fiftieth +pageas I fanciedstopping a moment, looking vacantly around him, and +giving utterance to a long-drawn gurgling whistle of astonishment. He +would then begin again at the next fifty; seeming to commence at number +one each time, as though he could not count more than fifty, and it was +only by such a large number of fifties being found together, that his +astonishment at the multitude of pages was excited. + +With much interest I sat watching him. Savage though he was, and +hideously marred about the faceat least to my tastehis countenance +yet had a something in it which was by no means disagreeable. You +cannot hide the soul. Through all his unearthly tattooings, I thought I +saw the traces of a simple honest heart; and in his large, deep eyes, +fiery black and bold, there seemed tokens of a spirit that would dare a +thousand devils. And besides all this, there was a certain lofty +bearing about the Pagan, which even his uncouthness could not +altogether maim. He looked like a man who had never cringed and never +had had a creditor. Whether it was, too, that his head being shaved, +his forehead was drawn out in freer and brighter relief, and looked +more expansive than it otherwise would, this I will not venture to +decide; but certain it was his head was phrenologically an excellent +one. It may seem ridiculous, but it reminded me of General Washingtons +head, as seen in the popular busts of him. It had the same long +regularly graded retreating slope from above the brows, which were +likewise very projecting, like two long promontories thickly wooded on +top. Queequeg was George Washington cannibalistically developed. + +Whilst I was thus closely scanning him, half-pretending meanwhile to be +looking out at the storm from the casement, he never heeded my +presence, never troubled himself with so much as a single glance; but +appeared wholly occupied with counting the pages of the marvellous +book. Considering how sociably we had been sleeping together the night +previous, and especially considering the affectionate arm I had found +thrown over me upon waking in the morning, I thought this indifference +of his very strange. But savages are strange beings; at times you do +not know exactly how to take them. At first they are overawing; their +calm self-collectedness of simplicity seems a Socratic wisdom. I had +noticed also that Queequeg never consorted at all, or but very little, +with the other seamen in the inn. He made no advances whatever; +appeared to have no desire to enlarge the circle of his acquaintances. +All this struck me as mighty singular; yet, upon second thoughts, there +was something almost sublime in it. Here was a man some twenty thousand +miles from home, by the way of Cape Horn, that iswhich was the only +way he could get therethrown among people as strange to him as though +he were in the planet Jupiter; and yet he seemed entirely at his ease; +preserving the utmost serenity; content with his own companionship; +always equal to himself. Surely this was a touch of fine philosophy; +though no doubt he had never heard there was such a thing as that. But, +perhaps, to be true philosophers, we mortals should not be conscious of +so living or so striving. So soon as I hear that such or such a man +gives himself out for a philosopher, I conclude that, like the +dyspeptic old woman, he must have broken his digester. + +As I sat there in that now lonely room; the fire burning low, in that +mild stage when, after its first intensity has warmed the air, it then +only glows to be looked at; the evening shades and phantoms gathering +round the casements, and peering in upon us silent, solitary twain; the +storm booming without in solemn swells; I began to be sensible of +strange feelings. I felt a melting in me. No more my splintered heart +and maddened hand were turned against the wolfish world. This soothing +savage had redeemed it. There he sat, his very indifference speaking a +nature in which there lurked no civilized hypocrisies and bland +deceits. Wild he was; a very sight of sights to see; yet I began to +feel myself mysteriously drawn towards him. And those same things that +would have repelled most others, they were the very magnets that thus +drew me. Ill try a pagan friend, thought I, since Christian kindness +has proved but hollow courtesy. I drew my bench near him, and made some +friendly signs and hints, doing my best to talk with him meanwhile. At +first he little noticed these advances; but presently, upon my +referring to his last nights hospitalities, he made out to ask me +whether we were again to be bedfellows. I told him yes; whereat I +thought he looked pleased, perhaps a little complimented. + +We then turned over the book together, and I endeavored to explain to +him the purpose of the printing, and the meaning of the few pictures +that were in it. Thus I soon engaged his interest; and from that we +went to jabbering the best we could about the various outer sights to +be seen in this famous town. Soon I proposed a social smoke; and, +producing his pouch and tomahawk, he quietly offered me a puff. And +then we sat exchanging puffs from that wild pipe of his, and keeping it +regularly passing between us. + +If there yet lurked any ice of indifference towards me in the Pagans +breast, this pleasant, genial smoke we had, soon thawed it out, and +left us cronies. He seemed to take to me quite as naturally and +unbiddenly as I to him; and when our smoke was over, he pressed his +forehead against mine, clasped me round the waist, and said that +henceforth we were married; meaning, in his countrys phrase, that we +were bosom friends; he would gladly die for me, if need should be. In a +countryman, this sudden flame of friendship would have seemed far too +premature, a thing to be much distrusted; but in this simple savage +those old rules would not apply. + +After supper, and another social chat and smoke, we went to our room +together. He made me a present of his embalmed head; took out his +enormous tobacco wallet, and groping under the tobacco, drew out some +thirty dollars in silver; then spreading them on the table, and +mechanically dividing them into two equal portions, pushed one of them +towards me, and said it was mine. I was going to remonstrate; but he +silenced me by pouring them into my trowsers pockets. I let them stay. +He then went about his evening prayers, took out his idol, and removed +the paper fireboard. By certain signs and symptoms, I thought he seemed +anxious for me to join him; but well knowing what was to follow, I +deliberated a moment whether, in case he invited me, I would comply or +otherwise. + +I was a good Christian; born and bred in the bosom of the infallible +Presbyterian Church. How then could I unite with this wild idolator in +worshipping his piece of wood? But what is worship? thought I. Do you +suppose now, Ishmael, that the magnanimous God of heaven and +earthpagans and all includedcan possibly be jealous of an +insignificant bit of black wood? Impossible! But what is worship?to do +the will of God_that_ is worship. And what is the will of God?to do +to my fellow man what I would have my fellow man to do to me_that_ is +the will of God. Now, Queequeg is my fellow man. And what do I wish +that this Queequeg would do to me? Why, unite with me in my particular +Presbyterian form of worship. Consequently, I must then unite with him +in his; ergo, I must turn idolator. So I kindled the shavings; helped +prop up the innocent little idol; offered him burnt biscuit with +Queequeg; salamed before him twice or thrice; kissed his nose; and that +done, we undressed and went to bed, at peace with our own consciences +and all the world. But we did not go to sleep without some little chat. + +How it is I know not; but there is no place like a bed for confidential +disclosures between friends. Man and wife, they say, there open the +very bottom of their souls to each other; and some old couples often +lie and chat over old times till nearly morning. Thus, then, in our +hearts honeymoon, lay I and Queequega cosy, loving pair. + + +CHAPTER 11. Nightgown. + +We had lain thus in bed, chatting and napping at short intervals, and +Queequeg now and then affectionately throwing his brown tattooed legs +over mine, and then drawing them back; so entirely sociable and free +and easy were we; when, at last, by reason of our confabulations, what +little nappishness remained in us altogether departed, and we felt like +getting up again, though day-break was yet some way down the future. + +Yes, we became very wakeful; so much so that our recumbent position +began to grow wearisome, and by little and little we found ourselves +sitting up; the clothes well tucked around us, leaning against the +head-board with our four knees drawn up close together, and our two +noses bending over them, as if our kneepans were warming-pans. We felt +very nice and snug, the more so since it was so chilly out of doors; +indeed out of bed-clothes too, seeing that there was no fire in the +room. The more so, I say, because truly to enjoy bodily warmth, some +small part of you must be cold, for there is no quality in this world +that is not what it is merely by contrast. Nothing exists in itself. If +you flatter yourself that you are all over comfortable, and have been +so a long time, then you cannot be said to be comfortable any more. But +if, like Queequeg and me in the bed, the tip of your nose or the crown +of your head be slightly chilled, why then, indeed, in the general +consciousness you feel most delightfully and unmistakably warm. For +this reason a sleeping apartment should never be furnished with a fire, +which is one of the luxurious discomforts of the rich. For the height +of this sort of deliciousness is to have nothing but the blanket +between you and your snugness and the cold of the outer air. Then there +you lie like the one warm spark in the heart of an arctic crystal. + +We had been sitting in this crouching manner for some time, when all at +once I thought I would open my eyes; for when between sheets, whether +by day or by night, and whether asleep or awake, I have a way of always +keeping my eyes shut, in order the more to concentrate the snugness of +being in bed. Because no man can ever feel his own identity aright +except his eyes be closed; as if darkness were indeed the proper +element of our essences, though light be more congenial to our clayey +part. Upon opening my eyes then, and coming out of my own pleasant and +self-created darkness into the imposed and coarse outer gloom of the +unilluminated twelve-oclock-at-night, I experienced a disagreeable +revulsion. Nor did I at all object to the hint from Queequeg that +perhaps it were best to strike a light, seeing that we were so wide +awake; and besides he felt a strong desire to have a few quiet puffs +from his Tomahawk. Be it said, that though I had felt such a strong +repugnance to his smoking in the bed the night before, yet see how +elastic our stiff prejudices grow when love once comes to bend them. +For now I liked nothing better than to have Queequeg smoking by me, +even in bed, because he seemed to be full of such serene household joy +then. I no more felt unduly concerned for the landlords policy of +insurance. I was only alive to the condensed confidential +comfortableness of sharing a pipe and a blanket with a real friend. +With our shaggy jackets drawn about our shoulders, we now passed the +Tomahawk from one to the other, till slowly there grew over us a blue +hanging tester of smoke, illuminated by the flame of the new-lit lamp. + +Whether it was that this undulating tester rolled the savage away to +far distant scenes, I know not, but he now spoke of his native island; +and, eager to hear his history, I begged him to go on and tell it. He +gladly complied. Though at the time I but ill comprehended not a few of +his words, yet subsequent disclosures, when I had become more familiar +with his broken phraseology, now enable me to present the whole story +such as it may prove in the mere skeleton I give. + + +CHAPTER 12. Biographical. + +Queequeg was a native of Rokovoko, an island far away to the West and +South. It is not down in any map; true places never are. + +When a new-hatched savage running wild about his native woodlands in a +grass clout, followed by the nibbling goats, as if he were a green +sapling; even then, in Queequegs ambitious soul, lurked a strong +desire to see something more of Christendom than a specimen whaler or +two. His father was a High Chief, a King; his uncle a High Priest; and +on the maternal side he boasted aunts who were the wives of +unconquerable warriors. There was excellent blood in his veinsroyal +stuff; though sadly vitiated, I fear, by the cannibal propensity he +nourished in his untutored youth. + +A Sag Harbor ship visited his fathers bay, and Queequeg sought a +passage to Christian lands. But the ship, having her full complement of +seamen, spurned his suit; and not all the King his fathers influence +could prevail. But Queequeg vowed a vow. Alone in his canoe, he paddled +off to a distant strait, which he knew the ship must pass through when +she quitted the island. On one side was a coral reef; on the other a +low tongue of land, covered with mangrove thickets that grew out into +the water. Hiding his canoe, still afloat, among these thickets, with +its prow seaward, he sat down in the stern, paddle low in hand; and +when the ship was gliding by, like a flash he darted out; gained her +side; with one backward dash of his foot capsized and sank his canoe; +climbed up the chains; and throwing himself at full length upon the +deck, grappled a ring-bolt there, and swore not to let it go, though +hacked in pieces. + +In vain the captain threatened to throw him overboard; suspended a +cutlass over his naked wrists; Queequeg was the son of a King, and +Queequeg budged not. Struck by his desperate dauntlessness, and his +wild desire to visit Christendom, the captain at last relented, and +told him he might make himself at home. But this fine young savagethis +sea Prince of Wales, never saw the Captains cabin. They put him down +among the sailors, and made a whaleman of him. But like Czar Peter +content to toil in the shipyards of foreign cities, Queequeg disdained +no seeming ignominy, if thereby he might happily gain the power of +enlightening his untutored countrymen. For at bottomso he told mehe +was actuated by a profound desire to learn among the Christians, the +arts whereby to make his people still happier than they were; and more +than that, still better than they were. But, alas! the practices of +whalemen soon convinced him that even Christians could be both +miserable and wicked; infinitely more so, than all his fathers +heathens. Arrived at last in old Sag Harbor; and seeing what the +sailors did there; and then going on to Nantucket, and seeing how they +spent their wages in _that_ place also, poor Queequeg gave it up for +lost. Thought he, its a wicked world in all meridians; Ill die a +pagan. + +And thus an old idolator at heart, he yet lived among these Christians, +wore their clothes, and tried to talk their gibberish. Hence the queer +ways about him, though now some time from home. + +By hints, I asked him whether he did not propose going back, and having +a coronation; since he might now consider his father dead and gone, he +being very old and feeble at the last accounts. He answered no, not +yet; and added that he was fearful Christianity, or rather Christians, +had unfitted him for ascending the pure and undefiled throne of thirty +pagan Kings before him. But by and by, he said, he would return,as +soon as he felt himself baptized again. For the nonce, however, he +proposed to sail about, and sow his wild oats in all four oceans. They +had made a harpooneer of him, and that barbed iron was in lieu of a +sceptre now. + +I asked him what might be his immediate purpose, touching his future +movements. He answered, to go to sea again, in his old vocation. Upon +this, I told him that whaling was my own design, and informed him of my +intention to sail out of Nantucket, as being the most promising port +for an adventurous whaleman to embark from. He at once resolved to +accompany me to that island, ship aboard the same vessel, get into the +same watch, the same boat, the same mess with me, in short to share my +every hap; with both my hands in his, boldly dip into the Potluck of +both worlds. To all this I joyously assented; for besides the affection +I now felt for Queequeg, he was an experienced harpooneer, and as such, +could not fail to be of great usefulness to one, who, like me, was +wholly ignorant of the mysteries of whaling, though well acquainted +with the sea, as known to merchant seamen. + +His story being ended with his pipes last dying puff, Queequeg +embraced me, pressed his forehead against mine, and blowing out the +light, we rolled over from each other, this way and that, and very soon +were sleeping. + + +CHAPTER 13. Wheelbarrow. + +Next morning, Monday, after disposing of the embalmed head to a barber, +for a block, I settled my own and comrades bill; using, however, my +comrades money. The grinning landlord, as well as the boarders, seemed +amazingly tickled at the sudden friendship which had sprung up between +me and Queequegespecially as Peter Coffins cock and bull stories +about him had previously so much alarmed me concerning the very person +whom I now companied with. + +We borrowed a wheelbarrow, and embarking our things, including my own +poor carpet-bag, and Queequegs canvas sack and hammock, away we went +down to the Moss, the little Nantucket packet schooner moored at the +wharf. As we were going along the people stared; not at Queequeg so +muchfor they were used to seeing cannibals like him in their +streets,but at seeing him and me upon such confidential terms. But we +heeded them not, going along wheeling the barrow by turns, and Queequeg +now and then stopping to adjust the sheath on his harpoon barbs. I +asked him why he carried such a troublesome thing with him ashore, and +whether all whaling ships did not find their own harpoons. To this, in +substance, he replied, that though what I hinted was true enough, yet +he had a particular affection for his own harpoon, because it was of +assured stuff, well tried in many a mortal combat, and deeply intimate +with the hearts of whales. In short, like many inland reapers and +mowers, who go into the farmers meadows armed with their own +scythesthough in no wise obliged to furnish themeven so, Queequeg, +for his own private reasons, preferred his own harpoon. + +Shifting the barrow from my hand to his, he told me a funny story about +the first wheelbarrow he had ever seen. It was in Sag Harbor. The +owners of his ship, it seems, had lent him one, in which to carry his +heavy chest to his boarding house. Not to seem ignorant about the +thingthough in truth he was entirely so, concerning the precise way in +which to manage the barrowQueequeg puts his chest upon it; lashes it +fast; and then shoulders the barrow and marches up the wharf. Why, +said I, Queequeg, you might have known better than that, one would +think. Didnt the people laugh? + +Upon this, he told me another story. The people of his island of +Rokovoko, it seems, at their wedding feasts express the fragrant water +of young cocoanuts into a large stained calabash like a punchbowl; and +this punchbowl always forms the great central ornament on the braided +mat where the feast is held. Now a certain grand merchant ship once +touched at Rokovoko, and its commanderfrom all accounts, a very +stately punctilious gentleman, at least for a sea captainthis +commander was invited to the wedding feast of Queequegs sister, a +pretty young princess just turned of ten. Well; when all the wedding +guests were assembled at the brides bamboo cottage, this Captain +marches in, and being assigned the post of honor, placed himself over +against the punchbowl, and between the High Priest and his majesty the +King, Queequegs father. Grace being said,for those people have their +grace as well as wethough Queequeg told me that unlike us, who at such +times look downwards to our platters, they, on the contrary, copying +the ducks, glance upwards to the great Giver of all feastsGrace, I +say, being said, the High Priest opens the banquet by the immemorial +ceremony of the island; that is, dipping his consecrated and +consecrating fingers into the bowl before the blessed beverage +circulates. Seeing himself placed next the Priest, and noting the +ceremony, and thinking himselfbeing Captain of a shipas having plain +precedence over a mere island King, especially in the Kings own +housethe Captain coolly proceeds to wash his hands in the +punchbowl;taking it I suppose for a huge finger-glass. Now, said +Queequeg, what you tink now?Didnt our people laugh? + +At last, passage paid, and luggage safe, we stood on board the +schooner. Hoisting sail, it glided down the Acushnet river. On one +side, New Bedford rose in terraces of streets, their ice-covered trees +all glittering in the clear, cold air. Huge hills and mountains of +casks on casks were piled upon her wharves, and side by side the +world-wandering whale ships lay silent and safely moored at last; while +from others came a sound of carpenters and coopers, with blended noises +of fires and forges to melt the pitch, all betokening that new cruises +were on the start; that one most perilous and long voyage ended, only +begins a second; and a second ended, only begins a third, and so on, +for ever and for aye. Such is the endlessness, yea, the intolerableness +of all earthly effort. + +Gaining the more open water, the bracing breeze waxed fresh; the little +Moss tossed the quick foam from her bows, as a young colt his +snortings. How I snuffed that Tartar air!how I spurned that turnpike +earth!that common highway all over dented with the marks of slavish +heels and hoofs; and turned me to admire the magnanimity of the sea +which will permit no records. + +At the same foam-fountain, Queequeg seemed to drink and reel with me. +His dusky nostrils swelled apart; he showed his filed and pointed +teeth. On, on we flew; and our offing gained, the Moss did homage to +the blast; ducked and dived her bows as a slave before the Sultan. +Sideways leaning, we sideways darted; every ropeyarn tingling like a +wire; the two tall masts buckling like Indian canes in land tornadoes. +So full of this reeling scene were we, as we stood by the plunging +bowsprit, that for some time we did not notice the jeering glances of +the passengers, a lubber-like assembly, who marvelled that two fellow +beings should be so companionable; as though a white man were anything +more dignified than a whitewashed negro. But there were some boobies +and bumpkins there, who, by their intense greenness, must have come +from the heart and centre of all verdure. Queequeg caught one of these +young saplings mimicking him behind his back. I thought the bumpkins +hour of doom was come. Dropping his harpoon, the brawny savage caught +him in his arms, and by an almost miraculous dexterity and strength, +sent him high up bodily into the air; then slightly tapping his stern +in mid-somerset, the fellow landed with bursting lungs upon his feet, +while Queequeg, turning his back upon him, lighted his tomahawk pipe +and passed it to me for a puff. + +Capting! Capting! yelled the bumpkin, running towards that officer; +Capting, Capting, heres the devil. + +Hallo, _you_ sir, cried the Captain, a gaunt rib of the sea, stalking +up to Queequeg, what in thunder do you mean by that? Dont you know +you might have killed that chap? + +What him say? said Queequeg, as he mildly turned to me. + +He say, said I, that you came near kill-e that man there, pointing +to the still shivering greenhorn. + +Kill-e, cried Queequeg, twisting his tattooed face into an unearthly +expression of disdain, ah! him bevy small-e fish-e; Queequeg no kill-e +so small-e fish-e; Queequeg kill-e big whale! + +Look you, roared the Captain, Ill kill-e _you_, you cannibal, if +you try any more of your tricks aboard here; so mind your eye. + +But it so happened just then, that it was high time for the Captain to +mind his own eye. The prodigious strain upon the main-sail had parted +the weather-sheet, and the tremendous boom was now flying from side to +side, completely sweeping the entire after part of the deck. The poor +fellow whom Queequeg had handled so roughly, was swept overboard; all +hands were in a panic; and to attempt snatching at the boom to stay it, +seemed madness. It flew from right to left, and back again, almost in +one ticking of a watch, and every instant seemed on the point of +snapping into splinters. Nothing was done, and nothing seemed capable +of being done; those on deck rushed towards the bows, and stood eyeing +the boom as if it were the lower jaw of an exasperated whale. In the +midst of this consternation, Queequeg dropped deftly to his knees, and +crawling under the path of the boom, whipped hold of a rope, secured +one end to the bulwarks, and then flinging the other like a lasso, +caught it round the boom as it swept over his head, and at the next +jerk, the spar was that way trapped, and all was safe. The schooner was +run into the wind, and while the hands were clearing away the stern +boat, Queequeg, stripped to the waist, darted from the side with a long +living arc of a leap. For three minutes or more he was seen swimming +like a dog, throwing his long arms straight out before him, and by +turns revealing his brawny shoulders through the freezing foam. I +looked at the grand and glorious fellow, but saw no one to be saved. +The greenhorn had gone down. Shooting himself perpendicularly from the +water, Queequeg, now took an instants glance around him, and seeming +to see just how matters were, dived down and disappeared. A few minutes +more, and he rose again, one arm still striking out, and with the other +dragging a lifeless form. The boat soon picked them up. The poor +bumpkin was restored. All hands voted Queequeg a noble trump; the +captain begged his pardon. From that hour I clove to Queequeg like a +barnacle; yea, till poor Queequeg took his last long dive. + +Was there ever such unconsciousness? He did not seem to think that he +at all deserved a medal from the Humane and Magnanimous Societies. He +only asked for waterfresh watersomething to wipe the brine off; that +done, he put on dry clothes, lighted his pipe, and leaning against the +bulwarks, and mildly eyeing those around him, seemed to be saying to +himselfIts a mutual, joint-stock world, in all meridians. We +cannibals must help these Christians. + + +CHAPTER 14. Nantucket. + +Nothing more happened on the passage worthy the mentioning; so, after a +fine run, we safely arrived in Nantucket. + +Nantucket! Take out your map and look at it. See what a real corner of +the world it occupies; how it stands there, away off shore, more lonely +than the Eddystone lighthouse. Look at ita mere hillock, and elbow of +sand; all beach, without a background. There is more sand there than +you would use in twenty years as a substitute for blotting paper. Some +gamesome wights will tell you that they have to plant weeds there, they +dont grow naturally; that they import Canada thistles; that they have +to send beyond seas for a spile to stop a leak in an oil cask; that +pieces of wood in Nantucket are carried about like bits of the true +cross in Rome; that people there plant toadstools before their houses, +to get under the shade in summer time; that one blade of grass makes an +oasis, three blades in a days walk a prairie; that they wear quicksand +shoes, something like Laplander snow-shoes; that they are so shut up, +belted about, every way inclosed, surrounded, and made an utter island +of by the ocean, that to their very chairs and tables small clams will +sometimes be found adhering, as to the backs of sea turtles. But these +extravaganzas only show that Nantucket is no Illinois. + +Look now at the wondrous traditional story of how this island was +settled by the red-men. Thus goes the legend. In olden times an eagle +swooped down upon the New England coast, and carried off an infant +Indian in his talons. With loud lament the parents saw their child +borne out of sight over the wide waters. They resolved to follow in the +same direction. Setting out in their canoes, after a perilous passage +they discovered the island, and there they found an empty ivory +casket,the poor little Indians skeleton. + +What wonder, then, that these Nantucketers, born on a beach, should +take to the sea for a livelihood! They first caught crabs and quohogs +in the sand; grown bolder, they waded out with nets for mackerel; more +experienced, they pushed off in boats and captured cod; and at last, +launching a navy of great ships on the sea, explored this watery world; +put an incessant belt of circumnavigations round it; peeped in at +Behrings Straits; and in all seasons and all oceans declared +everlasting war with the mightiest animated mass that has survived the +flood; most monstrous and most mountainous! That Himmalehan, salt-sea +Mastodon, clothed with such portentousness of unconscious power, that +his very panics are more to be dreaded than his most fearless and +malicious assaults! + +And thus have these naked Nantucketers, these sea hermits, issuing from +their ant-hill in the sea, overrun and conquered the watery world like +so many Alexanders; parcelling out among them the Atlantic, Pacific, +and Indian oceans, as the three pirate powers did Poland. Let America +add Mexico to Texas, and pile Cuba upon Canada; let the English +overswarm all India, and hang out their blazing banner from the sun; +two thirds of this terraqueous globe are the Nantucketers. For the sea +is his; he owns it, as Emperors own empires; other seamen having but a +right of way through it. Merchant ships are but extension bridges; +armed ones but floating forts; even pirates and privateers, though +following the sea as highwaymen the road, they but plunder other ships, +other fragments of the land like themselves, without seeking to draw +their living from the bottomless deep itself. The Nantucketer, he alone +resides and riots on the sea; he alone, in Bible language, goes down to +it in ships; to and fro ploughing it as his own special plantation. +_There_ is his home; _there_ lies his business, which a Noahs flood +would not interrupt, though it overwhelmed all the millions in China. +He lives on the sea, as prairie cocks in the prairie; he hides among +the waves, he climbs them as chamois hunters climb the Alps. For years +he knows not the land; so that when he comes to it at last, it smells +like another world, more strangely than the moon would to an Earthsman. +With the landless gull, that at sunset folds her wings and is rocked to +sleep between billows; so at nightfall, the Nantucketer, out of sight +of land, furls his sails, and lays him to his rest, while under his +very pillow rush herds of walruses and whales. + + +CHAPTER 15. Chowder. + +It was quite late in the evening when the little Moss came snugly to +anchor, and Queequeg and I went ashore; so we could attend to no +business that day, at least none but a supper and a bed. The landlord +of the Spouter-Inn had recommended us to his cousin Hosea Hussey of the +Try Pots, whom he asserted to be the proprietor of one of the best kept +hotels in all Nantucket, and moreover he had assured us that Cousin +Hosea, as he called him, was famous for his chowders. In short, he +plainly hinted that we could not possibly do better than try pot-luck +at the Try Pots. But the directions he had given us about keeping a +yellow warehouse on our starboard hand till we opened a white church to +the larboard, and then keeping that on the larboard hand till we made a +corner three points to the starboard, and that done, then ask the first +man we met where the place was: these crooked directions of his very +much puzzled us at first, especially as, at the outset, Queequeg +insisted that the yellow warehouseour first point of departuremust be +left on the larboard hand, whereas I had understood Peter Coffin to say +it was on the starboard. However, by dint of beating about a little in +the dark, and now and then knocking up a peaceable inhabitant to +inquire the way, we at last came to something which there was no +mistaking. + +Two enormous wooden pots painted black, and suspended by asses ears, +swung from the cross-trees of an old top-mast, planted in front of an +old doorway. The horns of the cross-trees were sawed off on the other +side, so that this old top-mast looked not a little like a gallows. +Perhaps I was over sensitive to such impressions at the time, but I +could not help staring at this gallows with a vague misgiving. A sort +of crick was in my neck as I gazed up to the two remaining horns; yes, +_two_ of them, one for Queequeg, and one for me. Its ominous, thinks +I. A Coffin my Innkeeper upon landing in my first whaling port; +tombstones staring at me in the whalemens chapel; and here a gallows! +and a pair of prodigious black pots too! Are these last throwing out +oblique hints touching Tophet? + +I was called from these reflections by the sight of a freckled woman +with yellow hair and a yellow gown, standing in the porch of the inn, +under a dull red lamp swinging there, that looked much like an injured +eye, and carrying on a brisk scolding with a man in a purple woollen +shirt. + +Get along with ye, said she to the man, or Ill be combing ye! + +Come on, Queequeg, said I, all right. Theres Mrs. Hussey. + +And so it turned out; Mr. Hosea Hussey being from home, but leaving +Mrs. Hussey entirely competent to attend to all his affairs. Upon +making known our desires for a supper and a bed, Mrs. Hussey, +postponing further scolding for the present, ushered us into a little +room, and seating us at a table spread with the relics of a recently +concluded repast, turned round to us and saidClam or Cod? + +Whats that about Cods, maam? said I, with much politeness. + +Clam or Cod? she repeated. + +A clam for supper? a cold clam; is _that_ what you mean, Mrs. Hussey? +says I, but thats a rather cold and clammy reception in the winter +time, aint it, Mrs. Hussey? + +But being in a great hurry to resume scolding the man in the purple +Shirt, who was waiting for it in the entry, and seeming to hear nothing +but the word clam, Mrs. Hussey hurried towards an open door leading +to the kitchen, and bawling out clam for two, disappeared. + +Queequeg, said I, do you think that we can make out a supper for us +both on one clam? + +However, a warm savory steam from the kitchen served to belie the +apparently cheerless prospect before us. But when that smoking chowder +came in, the mystery was delightfully explained. Oh, sweet friends! +hearken to me. It was made of small juicy clams, scarcely bigger than +hazel nuts, mixed with pounded ship biscuit, and salted pork cut up +into little flakes; the whole enriched with butter, and plentifully +seasoned with pepper and salt. Our appetites being sharpened by the +frosty voyage, and in particular, Queequeg seeing his favourite fishing +food before him, and the chowder being surpassingly excellent, we +despatched it with great expedition: when leaning back a moment and +bethinking me of Mrs. Husseys clam and cod announcement, I thought I +would try a little experiment. Stepping to the kitchen door, I uttered +the word cod with great emphasis, and resumed my seat. In a few +moments the savoury steam came forth again, but with a different +flavor, and in good time a fine cod-chowder was placed before us. + +We resumed business; and while plying our spoons in the bowl, thinks I +to myself, I wonder now if this here has any effect on the head? Whats +that stultifying saying about chowder-headed people? But look, +Queequeg, aint that a live eel in your bowl? Wheres your harpoon? + +Fishiest of all fishy places was the Try Pots, which well deserved its +name; for the pots there were always boiling chowders. Chowder for +breakfast, and chowder for dinner, and chowder for supper, till you +began to look for fish-bones coming through your clothes. The area +before the house was paved with clam-shells. Mrs. Hussey wore a +polished necklace of codfish vertebra; and Hosea Hussey had his account +books bound in superior old shark-skin. There was a fishy flavor to the +milk, too, which I could not at all account for, till one morning +happening to take a stroll along the beach among some fishermens +boats, I saw Hoseas brindled cow feeding on fish remnants, and +marching along the sand with each foot in a cods decapitated head, +looking very slip-shod, I assure ye. + +Supper concluded, we received a lamp, and directions from Mrs. Hussey +concerning the nearest way to bed; but, as Queequeg was about to +precede me up the stairs, the lady reached forth her arm, and demanded +his harpoon; she allowed no harpoon in her chambers. Why not? said I; +every true whaleman sleeps with his harpoonbut why not? Because +its dangerous, says she. Ever since young Stiggs coming from that +unfortnt vyge of his, when he was gone four years and a half, with +only three barrels of _ile_, was found dead in my first floor back, +with his harpoon in his side; ever since then I allow no boarders to +take sich dangerous weepons in their rooms at night. So, Mr. Queequeg +(for she had learned his name), I will just take this here iron, and +keep it for you till morning. But the chowder; clam or cod to-morrow +for breakfast, men? + +Both, says I; and lets have a couple of smoked herring by way of +variety. + + +CHAPTER 16. The Ship. + +In bed we concocted our plans for the morrow. But to my surprise and no +small concern, Queequeg now gave me to understand, that he had been +diligently consulting Yojothe name of his black little godand Yojo +had told him two or three times over, and strongly insisted upon it +everyway, that instead of our going together among the whaling-fleet in +harbor, and in concert selecting our craft; instead of this, I say, +Yojo earnestly enjoined that the selection of the ship should rest +wholly with me, inasmuch as Yojo purposed befriending us; and, in order +to do so, had already pitched upon a vessel, which, if left to myself, +I, Ishmael, should infallibly light upon, for all the world as though +it had turned out by chance; and in that vessel I must immediately ship +myself, for the present irrespective of Queequeg. + +I have forgotten to mention that, in many things, Queequeg placed great +confidence in the excellence of Yojos judgment and surprising forecast +of things; and cherished Yojo with considerable esteem, as a rather +good sort of god, who perhaps meant well enough upon the whole, but in +all cases did not succeed in his benevolent designs. + +Now, this plan of Queequegs, or rather Yojos, touching the selection +of our craft; I did not like that plan at all. I had not a little +relied upon Queequegs sagacity to point out the whaler best fitted to +carry us and our fortunes securely. But as all my remonstrances +produced no effect upon Queequeg, I was obliged to acquiesce; and +accordingly prepared to set about this business with a determined +rushing sort of energy and vigor, that should quickly settle that +trifling little affair. Next morning early, leaving Queequeg shut up +with Yojo in our little bedroomfor it seemed that it was some sort of +Lent or Ramadan, or day of fasting, humiliation, and prayer with +Queequeg and Yojo that day; _how_ it was I never could find out, for, +though I applied myself to it several times, I never could master his +liturgies and XXXIX Articlesleaving Queequeg, then, fasting on his +tomahawk pipe, and Yojo warming himself at his sacrificial fire of +shavings, I sallied out among the shipping. After much prolonged +sauntering and many random inquiries, I learnt that there were three +ships up for three-years voyagesThe Devil-dam, the Tit-bit, and the +Pequod. _Devil-Dam_, I do not know the origin of; _Tit-bit_ is obvious; +_Pequod_, you will no doubt remember, was the name of a celebrated +tribe of Massachusetts Indians; now extinct as the ancient Medes. I +peered and pryed about the Devil-dam; from her, hopped over to the +Tit-bit; and finally, going on board the Pequod, looked around her for +a moment, and then decided that this was the very ship for us. + +You may have seen many a quaint craft in your day, for aught I +know;square-toed luggers; mountainous Japanese junks; butter-box +galliots, and what not; but take my word for it, you never saw such a +rare old craft as this same rare old Pequod. She was a ship of the old +school, rather small if anything; with an old-fashioned claw-footed +look about her. Long seasoned and weather-stained in the typhoons and +calms of all four oceans, her old hulls complexion was darkened like a +French grenadiers, who has alike fought in Egypt and Siberia. Her +venerable bows looked bearded. Her mastscut somewhere on the coast of +Japan, where her original ones were lost overboard in a galeher masts +stood stiffly up like the spines of the three old kings of Cologne. Her +ancient decks were worn and wrinkled, like the pilgrim-worshipped +flag-stone in Canterbury Cathedral where Becket bled. But to all these +her old antiquities, were added new and marvellous features, pertaining +to the wild business that for more than half a century she had +followed. Old Captain Peleg, many years her chief-mate, before he +commanded another vessel of his own, and now a retired seaman, and one +of the principal owners of the Pequod,this old Peleg, during the term +of his chief-mateship, had built upon her original grotesqueness, and +inlaid it, all over, with a quaintness both of material and device, +unmatched by anything except it be Thorkill-Hakes carved buckler or +bedstead. She was apparelled like any barbaric Ethiopian emperor, his +neck heavy with pendants of polished ivory. She was a thing of +trophies. A cannibal of a craft, tricking herself forth in the chased +bones of her enemies. All round, her unpanelled, open bulwarks were +garnished like one continuous jaw, with the long sharp teeth of the +sperm whale, inserted there for pins, to fasten her old hempen thews +and tendons to. Those thews ran not through base blocks of land wood, +but deftly travelled over sheaves of sea-ivory. Scorning a turnstile +wheel at her reverend helm, she sported there a tiller; and that tiller +was in one mass, curiously carved from the long narrow lower jaw of her +hereditary foe. The helmsman who steered by that tiller in a tempest, +felt like the Tartar, when he holds back his fiery steed by clutching +its jaw. A noble craft, but somehow a most melancholy! All noble things +are touched with that. + +Now when I looked about the quarter-deck, for some one having +authority, in order to propose myself as a candidate for the voyage, at +first I saw nobody; but I could not well overlook a strange sort of +tent, or rather wigwam, pitched a little behind the main-mast. It +seemed only a temporary erection used in port. It was of a conical +shape, some ten feet high; consisting of the long, huge slabs of limber +black bone taken from the middle and highest part of the jaws of the +right-whale. Planted with their broad ends on the deck, a circle of +these slabs laced together, mutually sloped towards each other, and at +the apex united in a tufted point, where the loose hairy fibres waved +to and fro like the top-knot on some old Pottowottamie Sachems head. A +triangular opening faced towards the bows of the ship, so that the +insider commanded a complete view forward. + +And half concealed in this queer tenement, I at length found one who by +his aspect seemed to have authority; and who, it being noon, and the +ships work suspended, was now enjoying respite from the burden of +command. He was seated on an old-fashioned oaken chair, wriggling all +over with curious carving; and the bottom of which was formed of a +stout interlacing of the same elastic stuff of which the wigwam was +constructed. + +There was nothing so very particular, perhaps, about the appearance of +the elderly man I saw; he was brown and brawny, like most old seamen, +and heavily rolled up in blue pilot-cloth, cut in the Quaker style; +only there was a fine and almost microscopic net-work of the minutest +wrinkles interlacing round his eyes, which must have arisen from his +continual sailings in many hard gales, and always looking to +windward;for this causes the muscles about the eyes to become pursed +together. Such eye-wrinkles are very effectual in a scowl. + +Is this the Captain of the Pequod? said I, advancing to the door of +the tent. + +Supposing it be the captain of the Pequod, what dost thou want of +him? he demanded. + +I was thinking of shipping. + +Thou wast, wast thou? I see thou art no Nantucketerever been in a +stove boat? + +No, Sir, I never have. + +Dost know nothing at all about whaling, I dare sayeh? + +Nothing, Sir; but I have no doubt I shall soon learn. Ive been +several voyages in the merchant service, and I think that + +Merchant service be damned. Talk not that lingo to me. Dost see that +leg?Ill take that leg away from thy stern, if ever thou talkest of +the marchant service to me again. Marchant service indeed! I suppose +now ye feel considerable proud of having served in those marchant +ships. But flukes! man, what makes thee want to go a whaling, eh?it +looks a little suspicious, dont it, eh?Hast not been a pirate, hast +thou?Didst not rob thy last Captain, didst thou?Dost not think of +murdering the officers when thou gettest to sea? + +I protested my innocence of these things. I saw that under the mask of +these half humorous innuendoes, this old seaman, as an insulated +Quakerish Nantucketer, was full of his insular prejudices, and rather +distrustful of all aliens, unless they hailed from Cape Cod or the +Vineyard. + +But what takes thee a-whaling? I want to know that before I think of +shipping ye. + +Well, sir, I want to see what whaling is. I want to see the world. + +Want to see what whaling is, eh? Have ye clapped eye on Captain Ahab? + +Who is Captain Ahab, sir? + +Aye, aye, I thought so. Captain Ahab is the Captain of this ship. + +I am mistaken then. I thought I was speaking to the Captain himself. + +Thou art speaking to Captain Pelegthats who ye are speaking to, +young man. It belongs to me and Captain Bildad to see the Pequod fitted +out for the voyage, and supplied with all her needs, including crew. We +are part owners and agents. But as I was going to say, if thou wantest +to know what whaling is, as thou tellest ye do, I can put ye in a way +of finding it out before ye bind yourself to it, past backing out. Clap +eye on Captain Ahab, young man, and thou wilt find that he has only one +leg. + +What do you mean, sir? Was the other one lost by a whale? + +Lost by a whale! Young man, come nearer to me: it was devoured, chewed +up, crunched by the monstrousest parmacetty that ever chipped a +boat!ah, ah! + +I was a little alarmed by his energy, perhaps also a little touched at +the hearty grief in his concluding exclamation, but said as calmly as I +could, What you say is no doubt true enough, sir; but how could I know +there was any peculiar ferocity in that particular whale, though indeed +I might have inferred as much from the simple fact of the accident. + +Look ye now, young man, thy lungs are a sort of soft, dye see; thou +dost not talk shark a bit. _Sure_, yeve been to sea before now; sure +of that? + +Sir, said I, I thought I told you that I had been four voyages in +the merchant + +Hard down out of that! Mind what I said about the marchant +servicedont aggravate meI wont have it. But let us understand each +other. I have given thee a hint about what whaling is; do ye yet feel +inclined for it? + +I do, sir. + +Very good. Now, art thou the man to pitch a harpoon down a live +whales throat, and then jump after it? Answer, quick! + +I am, sir, if it should be positively indispensable to do so; not to +be got rid of, that is; which I dont take to be the fact. + +Good again. Now then, thou not only wantest to go a-whaling, to find +out by experience what whaling is, but ye also want to go in order to +see the world? Was not that what ye said? I thought so. Well then, just +step forward there, and take a peep over the weather-bow, and then back +to me and tell me what ye see there. + +For a moment I stood a little puzzled by this curious request, not +knowing exactly how to take it, whether humorously or in earnest. But +concentrating all his crows feet into one scowl, Captain Peleg started +me on the errand. + +Going forward and glancing over the weather bow, I perceived that the +ship swinging to her anchor with the flood-tide, was now obliquely +pointing towards the open ocean. The prospect was unlimited, but +exceedingly monotonous and forbidding; not the slightest variety that I +could see. + +Well, whats the report? said Peleg when I came back; what did ye +see? + +Not much, I repliednothing but water; considerable horizon though, +and theres a squall coming up, I think. + +Well, what does thou think then of seeing the world? Do ye wish to go +round Cape Horn to see any more of it, eh? Cant ye see the world where +you stand? + +I was a little staggered, but go a-whaling I must, and I would; and the +Pequod was as good a ship as anyI thought the bestand all this I now +repeated to Peleg. Seeing me so determined, he expressed his +willingness to ship me. + +And thou mayest as well sign the papers right off, he addedcome +along with ye. And so saying, he led the way below deck into the +cabin. + +Seated on the transom was what seemed to me a most uncommon and +surprising figure. It turned out to be Captain Bildad, who along with +Captain Peleg was one of the largest owners of the vessel; the other +shares, as is sometimes the case in these ports, being held by a crowd +of old annuitants; widows, fatherless children, and chancery wards; +each owning about the value of a timber head, or a foot of plank, or a +nail or two in the ship. People in Nantucket invest their money in +whaling vessels, the same way that you do yours in approved state +stocks bringing in good interest. + +Now, Bildad, like Peleg, and indeed many other Nantucketers, was a +Quaker, the island having been originally settled by that sect; and to +this day its inhabitants in general retain in an uncommon measure the +peculiarities of the Quaker, only variously and anomalously modified by +things altogether alien and heterogeneous. For some of these same +Quakers are the most sanguinary of all sailors and whale-hunters. They +are fighting Quakers; they are Quakers with a vengeance. + +So that there are instances among them of men, who, named with +Scripture namesa singularly common fashion on the islandand in +childhood naturally imbibing the stately dramatic thee and thou of the +Quaker idiom; still, from the audacious, daring, and boundless +adventure of their subsequent lives, strangely blend with these +unoutgrown peculiarities, a thousand bold dashes of character, not +unworthy a Scandinavian sea-king, or a poetical Pagan Roman. And when +these things unite in a man of greatly superior natural force, with a +globular brain and a ponderous heart; who has also by the stillness and +seclusion of many long night-watches in the remotest waters, and +beneath constellations never seen here at the north, been led to think +untraditionally and independently; receiving all natures sweet or +savage impressions fresh from her own virgin voluntary and confiding +breast, and thereby chiefly, but with some help from accidental +advantages, to learn a bold and nervous lofty languagethat man makes +one in a whole nations censusa mighty pageant creature, formed for +noble tragedies. Nor will it at all detract from him, dramatically +regarded, if either by birth or other circumstances, he have what seems +a half wilful overruling morbidness at the bottom of his nature. For +all men tragically great are made so through a certain morbidness. Be +sure of this, O young ambition, all mortal greatness is but disease. +But, as yet we have not to do with such an one, but with quite another; +and still a man, who, if indeed peculiar, it only results again from +another phase of the Quaker, modified by individual circumstances. + +Like Captain Peleg, Captain Bildad was a well-to-do, retired whaleman. +But unlike Captain Pelegwho cared not a rush for what are called +serious things, and indeed deemed those self-same serious things the +veriest of all triflesCaptain Bildad had not only been originally +educated according to the strictest sect of Nantucket Quakerism, but +all his subsequent ocean life, and the sight of many unclad, lovely +island creatures, round the Hornall that had not moved this native +born Quaker one single jot, had not so much as altered one angle of his +vest. Still, for all this immutableness, was there some lack of common +consistency about worthy Captain Bildad. Though refusing, from +conscientious scruples, to bear arms against land invaders, yet himself +had illimitably invaded the Atlantic and Pacific; and though a sworn +foe to human bloodshed, yet had he in his straight-bodied coat, spilled +tuns upon tuns of leviathan gore. How now in the contemplative evening +of his days, the pious Bildad reconciled these things in the +reminiscence, I do not know; but it did not seem to concern him much, +and very probably he had long since come to the sage and sensible +conclusion that a mans religion is one thing, and this practical world +quite another. This world pays dividends. Rising from a little +cabin-boy in short clothes of the drabbest drab, to a harpooneer in a +broad shad-bellied waistcoat; from that becoming boat-header, +chief-mate, and captain, and finally a ship owner; Bildad, as I hinted +before, had concluded his adventurous career by wholly retiring from +active life at the goodly age of sixty, and dedicating his remaining +days to the quiet receiving of his well-earned income. + +Now, Bildad, I am sorry to say, had the reputation of being an +incorrigible old hunks, and in his sea-going days, a bitter, hard +task-master. They told me in Nantucket, though it certainly seems a +curious story, that when he sailed the old Categut whaleman, his crew, +upon arriving home, were mostly all carried ashore to the hospital, +sore exhausted and worn out. For a pious man, especially for a Quaker, +he was certainly rather hard-hearted, to say the least. He never used +to swear, though, at his men, they said; but somehow he got an +inordinate quantity of cruel, unmitigated hard work out of them. When +Bildad was a chief-mate, to have his drab-coloured eye intently looking +at you, made you feel completely nervous, till you could clutch +somethinga hammer or a marling-spike, and go to work like mad, at +something or other, never mind what. Indolence and idleness perished +before him. His own person was the exact embodiment of his utilitarian +character. On his long, gaunt body, he carried no spare flesh, no +superfluous beard, his chin having a soft, economical nap to it, like +the worn nap of his broad-brimmed hat. + +Such, then, was the person that I saw seated on the transom when I +followed Captain Peleg down into the cabin. The space between the decks +was small; and there, bolt-upright, sat old Bildad, who always sat so, +and never leaned, and this to save his coat tails. His broad-brim was +placed beside him; his legs were stiffly crossed; his drab vesture was +buttoned up to his chin; and spectacles on nose, he seemed absorbed in +reading from a ponderous volume. + +Bildad, cried Captain Peleg, at it again, Bildad, eh? Ye have been +studying those Scriptures, now, for the last thirty years, to my +certain knowledge. How far ye got, Bildad? + +As if long habituated to such profane talk from his old shipmate, +Bildad, without noticing his present irreverence, quietly looked up, +and seeing me, glanced again inquiringly towards Peleg. + +He says hes our man, Bildad, said Peleg, he wants to ship. + +Dost thee? said Bildad, in a hollow tone, and turning round to me. + +I _dost_, said I unconsciously, he was so intense a Quaker. + +What do ye think of him, Bildad? said Peleg. + +Hell do, said Bildad, eyeing me, and then went on spelling away at +his book in a mumbling tone quite audible. + +I thought him the queerest old Quaker I ever saw, especially as Peleg, +his friend and old shipmate, seemed such a blusterer. But I said +nothing, only looking round me sharply. Peleg now threw open a chest, +and drawing forth the ships articles, placed pen and ink before him, +and seated himself at a little table. I began to think it was high time +to settle with myself at what terms I would be willing to engage for +the voyage. I was already aware that in the whaling business they paid +no wages; but all hands, including the captain, received certain shares +of the profits called _lays_, and that these lays were proportioned to +the degree of importance pertaining to the respective duties of the +ships company. I was also aware that being a green hand at whaling, my +own lay would not be very large; but considering that I was used to the +sea, could steer a ship, splice a rope, and all that, I made no doubt +that from all I had heard I should be offered at least the 275th +laythat is, the 275th part of the clear net proceeds of the voyage, +whatever that might eventually amount to. And though the 275th lay was +what they call a rather _long lay_, yet it was better than nothing; and +if we had a lucky voyage, might pretty nearly pay for the clothing I +would wear out on it, not to speak of my three years beef and board, +for which I would not have to pay one stiver. + +It might be thought that this was a poor way to accumulate a princely +fortuneand so it was, a very poor way indeed. But I am one of those +that never take on about princely fortunes, and am quite content if the +world is ready to board and lodge me, while I am putting up at this +grim sign of the Thunder Cloud. Upon the whole, I thought that the +275th lay would be about the fair thing, but would not have been +surprised had I been offered the 200th, considering I was of a +broad-shouldered make. + +But one thing, nevertheless, that made me a little distrustful about +receiving a generous share of the profits was this: Ashore, I had heard +something of both Captain Peleg and his unaccountable old crony Bildad; +how that they being the principal proprietors of the Pequod, therefore +the other and more inconsiderable and scattered owners, left nearly the +whole management of the ships affairs to these two. And I did not know +but what the stingy old Bildad might have a mighty deal to say about +shipping hands, especially as I now found him on board the Pequod, +quite at home there in the cabin, and reading his Bible as if at his +own fireside. Now while Peleg was vainly trying to mend a pen with his +jack-knife, old Bildad, to my no small surprise, considering that he +was such an interested party in these proceedings; Bildad never heeded +us, but went on mumbling to himself out of his book, _Lay_ not up for +yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth + +Well, Captain Bildad, interrupted Peleg, what dye say, what lay +shall we give this young man? + +Thou knowest best, was the sepulchral reply, the seven hundred and +seventy-seventh wouldnt be too much, would it?where moth and rust do +corrupt, but _lay_ + +_Lay_, indeed, thought I, and such a lay! the seven hundred and +seventy-seventh! Well, old Bildad, you are determined that I, for one, +shall not _lay_ up many _lays_ here below, where moth and rust do +corrupt. It was an exceedingly _long lay_ that, indeed; and though from +the magnitude of the figure it might at first deceive a landsman, yet +the slightest consideration will show that though seven hundred and +seventy-seven is a pretty large number, yet, when you come to make a +_teenth_ of it, you will then see, I say, that the seven hundred and +seventy-seventh part of a farthing is a good deal less than seven +hundred and seventy-seven gold doubloons; and so I thought at the time. + +Why, blast your eyes, Bildad, cried Peleg, thou dost not want to +swindle this young man! he must have more than that. + +Seven hundred and seventy-seventh, again said Bildad, without lifting +his eyes; and then went on mumblingfor where your treasure is, there +will your heart be also. + +I am going to put him down for the three hundredth, said Peleg, do +ye hear that, Bildad! The three hundredth lay, I say. + +Bildad laid down his book, and turning solemnly towards him said, +Captain Peleg, thou hast a generous heart; but thou must consider the +duty thou owest to the other owners of this shipwidows and orphans, +many of themand that if we too abundantly reward the labors of this +young man, we may be taking the bread from those widows and those +orphans. The seven hundred and seventy-seventh lay, Captain Peleg. + +Thou Bildad! roared Peleg, starting up and clattering about the +cabin. Blast ye, Captain Bildad, if I had followed thy advice in these +matters, I would afore now had a conscience to lug about that would be +heavy enough to founder the largest ship that ever sailed round Cape +Horn. + +Captain Peleg, said Bildad steadily, thy conscience may be drawing +ten inches of water, or ten fathoms, I cant tell; but as thou art +still an impenitent man, Captain Peleg, I greatly fear lest thy +conscience be but a leaky one; and will in the end sink thee foundering +down to the fiery pit, Captain Peleg. + +Fiery pit! fiery pit! ye insult me, man; past all natural bearing, ye +insult me. Its an all-fired outrage to tell any human creature that +hes bound to hell. Flukes and flames! Bildad, say that again to me, +and start my soul-bolts, but IllIllyes, Ill swallow a live goat +with all his hair and horns on. Out of the cabin, ye canting, +drab-coloured son of a wooden guna straight wake with ye! + +As he thundered out this he made a rush at Bildad, but with a +marvellous oblique, sliding celerity, Bildad for that time eluded him. + +Alarmed at this terrible outburst between the two principal and +responsible owners of the ship, and feeling half a mind to give up all +idea of sailing in a vessel so questionably owned and temporarily +commanded, I stepped aside from the door to give egress to Bildad, who, +I made no doubt, was all eagerness to vanish from before the awakened +wrath of Peleg. But to my astonishment, he sat down again on the +transom very quietly, and seemed to have not the slightest intention of +withdrawing. He seemed quite used to impenitent Peleg and his ways. As +for Peleg, after letting off his rage as he had, there seemed no more +left in him, and he, too, sat down like a lamb, though he twitched a +little as if still nervously agitated. Whew! he whistled at lastthe +squalls gone off to leeward, I think. Bildad, thou used to be good at +sharpening a lance, mend that pen, will ye. My jack-knife here needs +the grindstone. Thats he; thank ye, Bildad. Now then, my young man, +Ishmaels thy name, didnt ye say? Well then, down ye go here, Ishmael, +for the three hundredth lay. + +Captain Peleg, said I, I have a friend with me who wants to ship +tooshall I bring him down to-morrow? + +To be sure, said Peleg. Fetch him along, and well look at him. + +What lay does he want? groaned Bildad, glancing up from the book in +which he had again been burying himself. + +Oh! never thee mind about that, Bildad, said Peleg. Has he ever +whaled it any? turning to me. + +Killed more whales than I can count, Captain Peleg. + +Well, bring him along then. + +And, after signing the papers, off I went; nothing doubting but that I +had done a good mornings work, and that the Pequod was the identical +ship that Yojo had provided to carry Queequeg and me round the Cape. + +But I had not proceeded far, when I began to bethink me that the +Captain with whom I was to sail yet remained unseen by me; though, +indeed, in many cases, a whale-ship will be completely fitted out, and +receive all her crew on board, ere the captain makes himself visible by +arriving to take command; for sometimes these voyages are so prolonged, +and the shore intervals at home so exceedingly brief, that if the +captain have a family, or any absorbing concernment of that sort, he +does not trouble himself much about his ship in port, but leaves her to +the owners till all is ready for sea. However, it is always as well to +have a look at him before irrevocably committing yourself into his +hands. Turning back I accosted Captain Peleg, inquiring where Captain +Ahab was to be found. + +And what dost thou want of Captain Ahab? Its all right enough; thou +art shipped. + +Yes, but I should like to see him. + +But I dont think thou wilt be able to at present. I dont know +exactly whats the matter with him; but he keeps close inside the +house; a sort of sick, and yet he dont look so. In fact, he aint +sick; but no, he isnt well either. Any how, young man, he wont always +see me, so I dont suppose he will thee. Hes a queer man, Captain +Ahabso some thinkbut a good one. Oh, thoult like him well enough; no +fear, no fear. Hes a grand, ungodly, god-like man, Captain Ahab; +doesnt speak much; but, when he does speak, then you may well listen. +Mark ye, be forewarned; Ahabs above the common; Ahabs been in +colleges, as well as mong the cannibals; been used to deeper wonders +than the waves; fixed his fiery lance in mightier, stranger foes than +whales. His lance! aye, the keenest and the surest that out of all our +isle! Oh! he aint Captain Bildad; no, and he aint Captain Peleg; +_hes Ahab_, boy; and Ahab of old, thou knowest, was a crowned king! + +And a very vile one. When that wicked king was slain, the dogs, did +they not lick his blood? + +Come hither to mehither, hither, said Peleg, with a significance in +his eye that almost startled me. Look ye, lad; never say that on board +the Pequod. Never say it anywhere. Captain Ahab did not name himself. +Twas a foolish, ignorant whim of his crazy, widowed mother, who died +when he was only a twelvemonth old. And yet the old squaw Tistig, at +Gayhead, said that the name would somehow prove prophetic. And, +perhaps, other fools like her may tell thee the same. I wish to warn +thee. Its a lie. I know Captain Ahab well; Ive sailed with him as +mate years ago; I know what he isa good mannot a pious, good man, +like Bildad, but a swearing good mansomething like meonly theres a +good deal more of him. Aye, aye, I know that he was never very jolly; +and I know that on the passage home, he was a little out of his mind +for a spell; but it was the sharp shooting pains in his bleeding stump +that brought that about, as any one might see. I know, too, that ever +since he lost his leg last voyage by that accursed whale, hes been a +kind of moodydesperate moody, and savage sometimes; but that will all +pass off. And once for all, let me tell thee and assure thee, young +man, its better to sail with a moody good captain than a laughing bad +one. So good-bye to theeand wrong not Captain Ahab, because he happens +to have a wicked name. Besides, my boy, he has a wifenot three voyages +weddeda sweet, resigned girl. Think of that; by that sweet girl that +old man has a child: hold ye then there can be any utter, hopeless harm +in Ahab? No, no, my lad; stricken, blasted, if he be, Ahab has his +humanities! + +As I walked away, I was full of thoughtfulness; what had been +incidentally revealed to me of Captain Ahab, filled me with a certain +wild vagueness of painfulness concerning him. And somehow, at the time, +I felt a sympathy and a sorrow for him, but for I dont know what, +unless it was the cruel loss of his leg. And yet I also felt a strange +awe of him; but that sort of awe, which I cannot at all describe, was +not exactly awe; I do not know what it was. But I felt it; and it did +not disincline me towards him; though I felt impatience at what seemed +like mystery in him, so imperfectly as he was known to me then. +However, my thoughts were at length carried in other directions, so +that for the present dark Ahab slipped my mind. + + +CHAPTER 17. The Ramadan. + +As Queequegs Ramadan, or Fasting and Humiliation, was to continue all +day, I did not choose to disturb him till towards night-fall; for I +cherish the greatest respect towards everybodys religious obligations, +never mind how comical, and could not find it in my heart to undervalue +even a congregation of ants worshipping a toad-stool; or those other +creatures in certain parts of our earth, who with a degree of +footmanism quite unprecedented in other planets, bow down before the +torso of a deceased landed proprietor merely on account of the +inordinate possessions yet owned and rented in his name. + +I say, we good Presbyterian Christians should be charitable in these +things, and not fancy ourselves so vastly superior to other mortals, +pagans and what not, because of their half-crazy conceits on these +subjects. There was Queequeg, now, certainly entertaining the most +absurd notions about Yojo and his Ramadan;but what of that? Queequeg +thought he knew what he was about, I suppose; he seemed to be content; +and there let him rest. All our arguing with him would not avail; let +him be, I say: and Heaven have mercy on us allPresbyterians and Pagans +alikefor we are all somehow dreadfully cracked about the head, and +sadly need mending. + +Towards evening, when I felt assured that all his performances and +rituals must be over, I went up to his room and knocked at the door; +but no answer. I tried to open it, but it was fastened inside. +Queequeg, said I softly through the key-hole:all silent. I say, +Queequeg! why dont you speak? Its IIshmael. But all remained still +as before. I began to grow alarmed. I had allowed him such abundant +time; I thought he might have had an apoplectic fit. I looked through +the key-hole; but the door opening into an odd corner of the room, the +key-hole prospect was but a crooked and sinister one. I could only see +part of the foot-board of the bed and a line of the wall, but nothing +more. I was surprised to behold resting against the wall the wooden +shaft of Queequegs harpoon, which the landlady the evening previous +had taken from him, before our mounting to the chamber. Thats strange, +thought I; but at any rate, since the harpoon stands yonder, and he +seldom or never goes abroad without it, therefore he must be inside +here, and no possible mistake. + +Queequeg!Queequeg!all still. Something must have happened. +Apoplexy! I tried to burst open the door; but it stubbornly resisted. +Running down stairs, I quickly stated my suspicions to the first person +I metthe chamber-maid. La! la! she cried, I thought something must +be the matter. I went to make the bed after breakfast, and the door was +locked; and not a mouse to be heard; and its been just so silent ever +since. But I thought, may be, you had both gone off and locked your +baggage in for safe keeping. La! la, maam!Mistress! murder! Mrs. +Hussey! apoplexy!and with these cries, she ran towards the kitchen, I +following. + +Mrs. Hussey soon appeared, with a mustard-pot in one hand and a +vinegar-cruet in the other, having just broken away from the occupation +of attending to the castors, and scolding her little black boy +meantime. + +Wood-house! cried I, which way to it? Run for Gods sake, and fetch +something to pry open the doorthe axe!the axe! hes had a stroke; +depend upon it!and so saying I was unmethodically rushing up stairs +again empty-handed, when Mrs. Hussey interposed the mustard-pot and +vinegar-cruet, and the entire castor of her countenance. + +Whats the matter with you, young man? + +Get the axe! For Gods sake, run for the doctor, some one, while I pry +it open! + +Look here, said the landlady, quickly putting down the vinegar-cruet, +so as to have one hand free; look here; are you talking about prying +open any of my doors?and with that she seized my arm. Whats the +matter with you? Whats the matter with you, shipmate? + +In as calm, but rapid a manner as possible, I gave her to understand +the whole case. Unconsciously clapping the vinegar-cruet to one side of +her nose, she ruminated for an instant; then exclaimedNo! I havent +seen it since I put it there. Running to a little closet under the +landing of the stairs, she glanced in, and returning, told me that +Queequegs harpoon was missing. Hes killed himself, she cried. Its +unfortnate Stiggs done over againthere goes another counterpaneGod +pity his poor mother!it will be the ruin of my house. Has the poor lad +a sister? Wheres that girl?there, Betty, go to Snarles the Painter, +and tell him to paint me a sign, withno suicides permitted here, and +no smoking in the parlor;might as well kill both birds at once. Kill? +The Lord be merciful to his ghost! Whats that noise there? You, young +man, avast there! + +And running up after me, she caught me as I was again trying to force +open the door. + +I dont allow it; I wont have my premises spoiled. Go for the +locksmith, theres one about a mile from here. But avast! putting her +hand in her side-pocket, heres a key thatll fit, I guess; lets +see. And with that, she turned it in the lock; but, alas! Queequegs +supplemental bolt remained unwithdrawn within. + +Have to burst it open, said I, and was running down the entry a +little, for a good start, when the landlady caught at me, again vowing +I should not break down her premises; but I tore from her, and with a +sudden bodily rush dashed myself full against the mark. + +With a prodigious noise the door flew open, and the knob slamming +against the wall, sent the plaster to the ceiling; and there, good +heavens! there sat Queequeg, altogether cool and self-collected; right +in the middle of the room; squatting on his hams, and holding Yojo on +top of his head. He looked neither one way nor the other way, but sat +like a carved image with scarce a sign of active life. + +Queequeg, said I, going up to him, Queequeg, whats the matter with you? -When Will saw her there, he gave a start and moved backward out of the -window, without meeting her glance. Dorothea was hurt by this movement -following up the previous anger of his tone. She was ready to say that -it was as hard on her as on him, and that she was helpless; but those -strange particulars of their relation which neither of them could -explicitly mention kept her always in dread of saying too much. At this -moment she had no belief that Will would in any case have wanted to -marry her, and she feared using words which might imply such a belief. -She only said earnestly, recurring to his last word - -I am sure no safeguard was ever needed against you. - -Will did not answer. In the stormy fluctuation of his feelings these -words of hers seemed to him cruelly neutral, and he looked pale and -miserable after his angry outburst. He went to the table and fastened -up his portfolio, while Dorothea looked at him from the distance. They -were wasting these last moments together in wretched silence. What -could he say, since what had got obstinately uppermost in his mind was -the passionate love for her which he forbade himself to utter? What -could she say, since she might offer him no helpsince she was forced -to keep the money that ought to have been his?since to-day he seemed -not to respond as he used to do to her thorough trust and liking? - -But Will at last turned away from his portfolio and approached the -window again. - -I must go, he said, with that peculiar look of the eyes which -sometimes accompanies bitter feeling, as if they had been tired and -burned with gazing too close at a light. - -What shall you do in life? said Dorothea, timidly. Have your -intentions remained just the same as when we said good-by before? - -Yes, said Will, in a tone that seemed to waive the subject as -uninteresting. I shall work away at the first thing that offers. I -suppose one gets a habit of doing without happiness or hope. - -Oh, what sad words! said Dorothea, with a dangerous tendency to sob. -Then trying to smile, she added, We used to agree that we were alike -in speaking too strongly. - -I have not spoken too strongly now, said Will, leaning back against -the angle of the wall. There are certain things which a man can only -go through once in his life; and he must know some time or other that -the best is over with him. This experience has happened to me while I -am very youngthat is all. What I care more for than I can ever care -for anything else is absolutely forbidden to meI dont mean merely by -being out of my reach, but forbidden me, even if it were within my -reach, by my own pride and honorby everything I respect myself for. Of -course I shall go on living as a man might do who had seen heaven in a -trance. - -Will paused, imagining that it would be impossible for Dorothea to -misunderstand this; indeed he felt that he was contradicting himself -and offending against his self-approval in speaking to her so plainly; -but stillit could not be fairly called wooing a woman to tell her that -he would never woo her. It must be admitted to be a ghostly kind of -wooing. - -But Dorotheas mind was rapidly going over the past with quite another -vision than his. The thought that she herself might be what Will most -cared for did throb through her an instant, but then came doubt: the -memory of the little they had lived through together turned pale and -shrank before the memory which suggested how much fuller might have -been the intercourse between Will and some one else with whom he had -had constant companionship. Everything he had said might refer to that -other relation, and whatever had passed between him and herself was -thoroughly explained by what she had always regarded as their simple -friendship and the cruel obstruction thrust upon it by her husbands -injurious act. Dorothea stood silent, with her eyes cast down dreamily, -while images crowded upon her which left the sickening certainty that -Will was referring to Mrs. Lydgate. But why sickening? He wanted her to -know that here too his conduct should be above suspicion. - -Will was not surprised at her silence. His mind also was tumultuously -busy while he watched her, and he was feeling rather wildly that -something must happen to hinder their partingsome miracle, clearly -nothing in their own deliberate speech. Yet, after all, had she any -love for him?he could not pretend to himself that he would rather -believe her to be without that pain. He could not deny that a secret -longing for the assurance that she loved him was at the root of all his -words. - -Neither of them knew how long they stood in that way. Dorothea was -raising her eyes, and was about to speak, when the door opened and her -footman came to say - -The horses are ready, madam, whenever you like to start. - -Presently, said Dorothea. Then turning to Will, she said, I have -some memoranda to write for the housekeeper. - -I must go, said Will, when the door had closed againadvancing -towards her. The day after to-morrow I shall leave Middlemarch. - -You have acted in every way rightly, said Dorothea, in a low tone, -feeling a pressure at her heart which made it difficult to speak. - -She put out her hand, and Will took it for an instant without speaking, -for her words had seemed to him cruelly cold and unlike herself. Their -eyes met, but there was discontent in his, and in hers there was only -sadness. He turned away and took his portfolio under his arm. - -I have never done you injustice. Please remember me, said Dorothea, -repressing a rising sob. - -Why should you say that? said Will, with irritation. As if I were -not in danger of forgetting everything else. - -He had really a movement of anger against her at that moment, and it -impelled him to go away without pause. It was all one flash to -Dorotheahis last wordshis distant bow to her as he reached the -doorthe sense that he was no longer there. She sank into the chair, -and for a few moments sat like a statue, while images and emotions were -hurrying upon her. Joy came first, in spite of the threatening train -behind itjoy in the impression that it was really herself whom Will -loved and was renouncing, that there was really no other love less -permissible, more blameworthy, which honor was hurrying him away from. -They were parted all the same, butDorothea drew a deep breath and felt -her strength returnshe could think of him unrestrainedly. At that -moment the parting was easy to bear: the first sense of loving and -being loved excluded sorrow. It was as if some hard icy pressure had -melted, and her consciousness had room to expand: her past was come -back to her with larger interpretation. The joy was not the -lessperhaps it was the more complete just thenbecause of the -irrevocable parting; for there was no reproach, no contemptuous wonder -to imagine in any eye or from any lips. He had acted so as to defy -reproach, and make wonder respectful. - -Any one watching her might have seen that there was a fortifying -thought within her. Just as when inventive power is working with glad -ease some small claim on the attention is fully met as if it were only -a cranny opened to the sunlight, it was easy now for Dorothea to write -her memoranda. She spoke her last words to the housekeeper in cheerful -tones, and when she seated herself in the carriage her eyes were bright -and her cheeks blooming under the dismal bonnet. She threw back the -heavy weepers, and looked before her, wondering which road Will had -taken. It was in her nature to be proud that he was blameless, and -through all her feelings there ran this veinI was right to defend -him. - -The coachman was used to drive his grays at a good pace, Mr. Casaubon -being unenjoying and impatient in everything away from his desk, and -wanting to get to the end of all journeys; and Dorothea was now bowled -along quickly. Driving was pleasant, for rain in the night had laid the -dust, and the blue sky looked far off, away from the region of the -great clouds that sailed in masses. The earth looked like a happy place -under the vast heavens, and Dorothea was wishing that she might -overtake Will and see him once more. - -After a turn of the road, there he was with the portfolio under his -arm; but the next moment she was passing him while he raised his hat, -and she felt a pang at being seated there in a sort of exaltation, -leaving him behind. She could not look back at him. It was as if a -crowd of indifferent objects had thrust them asunder, and forced them -along different paths, taking them farther and farther away from each -other, and making it useless to look back. She could no more make any -sign that would seem to say, Need we part? than she could stop the -carriage to wait for him. Nay, what a world of reasons crowded upon her -against any movement of her thought towards a future that might reverse -the decision of this day! - -I only wish I had known beforeI wish he knewthen we could be quite -happy in thinking of each other, though we are forever parted. And if I -could but have given him the money, and made things easier for -him!were the longings that came back the most persistently. And yet, -so heavily did the world weigh on her in spite of her independent -energy, that with this idea of Will as in need of such help and at a -disadvantage with the world, there came always the vision of that -unfittingness of any closer relation between them which lay in the -opinion of every one connected with her. She felt to the full all the -imperativeness of the motives which urged Wills conduct. How could he -dream of her defying the barrier that her husband had placed between -them?how could she ever say to herself that she would defy it? - -Wills certainty as the carriage grew smaller in the distance, had much -more bitterness in it. Very slight matters were enough to gall him in -his sensitive mood, and the sight of Dorothea driving past him while he -felt himself plodding along as a poor devil seeking a position in a -world which in his present temper offered him little that he coveted, -made his conduct seem a mere matter of necessity, and took away the -sustainment of resolve. After all, he had no assurance that she loved -him: could any man pretend that he was simply glad in such a case to -have the suffering all on his own side? - -That evening Will spent with the Lydgates; the next evening he was -gone. - - - - -BOOK VII. -TWO TEMPTATIONS. - - - - -CHAPTER LXIII. - -These little things are great to little man.GOLDSMITH. - - -Have you seen much of your scientific phoenix, Lydgate, lately? said -Mr. Toller at one of his Christmas dinner-parties, speaking to Mr. -Farebrother on his right hand. - -Not much, I am sorry to say, answered the Vicar, accustomed to parry -Mr. Tollers banter about his belief in the new medical light. I am -out of the way and he is too busy. - -Is he? I am glad to hear it, said Dr. Minchin, with mingled suavity -and surprise. - -He gives a great deal of time to the New Hospital, said Mr. -Farebrother, who had his reasons for continuing the subject: I hear of -that from my neighbor, Mrs. Casaubon, who goes there often. She says -Lydgate is indefatigable, and is making a fine thing of Bulstrodes -institution. He is preparing a new ward in case of the cholera coming -to us. - -And preparing theories of treatment to try on the patients, I -suppose, said Mr. Toller. - -Come, Toller, be candid, said Mr. Farebrother. You are too clever -not to see the good of a bold fresh mind in medicine, as well as in -everything else; and as to cholera, I fancy, none of you are very sure -what you ought to do. If a man goes a little too far along a new road, -it is usually himself that he harms more than any one else. - -I am sure you and Wrench ought to be obliged to him, said Dr. -Minchin, looking towards Toller, for he has sent you the cream of -Peacocks patients. - -Lydgate has been living at a great rate for a young beginner, said -Mr. Harry Toller, the brewer. I suppose his relations in the North -back him up. - -I hope so, said Mr. Chichely, else he ought not to have married that -nice girl we were all so fond of. Hang it, one has a grudge against a -man who carries off the prettiest girl in the town. - -Ay, by God! and the best too, said Mr. Standish. - -My friend Vincy didnt half like the marriage, I know that, said Mr. -Chichely. _He_ wouldnt do much. How the relations on the other side -may have come down I cant say. There was an emphatic kind of -reticence in Mr. Chichelys manner of speaking. - -Oh, I shouldnt think Lydgate ever looked to practice for a living, -said Mr. Toller, with a slight touch of sarcasm, and there the subject -was dropped. - -This was not the first time that Mr. Farebrother had heard hints of -Lydgates expenses being obviously too great to be met by his practice, -but he thought it not unlikely that there were resources or -expectations which excused the large outlay at the time of Lydgates -marriage, and which might hinder any bad consequences from the -disappointment in his practice. One evening, when he took the pains to -go to Middlemarch on purpose to have a chat with Lydgate as of old, he -noticed in him an air of excited effort quite unlike his usual easy way -of keeping silence or breaking it with abrupt energy whenever he had -anything to say. Lydgate talked persistently when they were in his -work-room, putting arguments for and against the probability of certain -biological views; but he had none of those definite things to say or to -show which give the waymarks of a patient uninterrupted pursuit, such -as he used himself to insist on, saying that there must be a systole -and diastole in all inquiry, and that a mans mind must be -continually expanding and shrinking between the whole human horizon and -the horizon of an object-glass. That evening he seemed to be talking -widely for the sake of resisting any personal bearing; and before long -they went into the drawing room, where Lydgate, having asked Rosamond -to give them music, sank back in his chair in silence, but with a -strange light in his eyes. He may have been taking an opiate, was a -thought that crossed Mr. Farebrothers mindtic-douloureux perhapsor -medical worries. - -It did not occur to him that Lydgates marriage was not delightful: he -believed, as the rest did, that Rosamond was an amiable, docile -creature, though he had always thought her rather uninterestinga -little too much the pattern-card of the finishing-school; and his -mother could not forgive Rosamond because she never seemed to see that -Henrietta Noble was in the room. However, Lydgate fell in love with -her, said the Vicar to himself, and she must be to his taste. - -Mr. Farebrother was aware that Lydgate was a proud man, but having very -little corresponding fibre in himself, and perhaps too little care -about personal dignity, except the dignity of not being mean or -foolish, he could hardly allow enough for the way in which Lydgate -shrank, as from a burn, from the utterance of any word about his -private affairs. And soon after that conversation at Mr. Tollers, the -Vicar learned something which made him watch the more eagerly for an -opportunity of indirectly letting Lydgate know that if he wanted to -open himself about any difficulty there was a friendly ear ready. - -The opportunity came at Mr. Vincys, where, on New Years Day, there -was a party, to which Mr. Farebrother was irresistibly invited, on the -plea that he must not forsake his old friends on the first new year of -his being a greater man, and Rector as well as Vicar. And this party -was thoroughly friendly: all the ladies of the Farebrother family were -present; the Vincy children all dined at the table, and Fred had -persuaded his mother that if she did not invite Mary Garth, the -Farebrothers would regard it as a slight to themselves, Mary being -their particular friend. Mary came, and Fred was in high spirits, -though his enjoyment was of a checkered kindtriumph that his mother -should see Marys importance with the chief personages in the party -being much streaked with jealousy when Mr. Farebrother sat down by her. -Fred used to be much more easy about his own accomplishments in the -days when he had not begun to dread being bowled out by Farebrother, -and this terror was still before him. Mrs. Vincy, in her fullest -matronly bloom, looked at Marys little figure, rough wavy hair, and -visage quite without lilies and roses, and wondered; trying -unsuccessfully to fancy herself caring about Marys appearance in -wedding clothes, or feeling complacency in grandchildren who would -feature the Garths. However, the party was a merry one, and Mary was -particularly bright; being glad, for Freds sake, that his friends were -getting kinder to her, and being also quite willing that they should -see how much she was valued by others whom they must admit to be -judges. - -Mr. Farebrother noticed that Lydgate seemed bored, and that Mr. Vincy -spoke as little as possible to his son-in-law. Rosamond was perfectly -graceful and calm, and only a subtle observation such as the Vicar had -not been roused to bestow on her would have perceived the total absence -of that interest in her husbands presence which a loving wife is sure -to betray, even if etiquette keeps her aloof from him. When Lydgate was -taking part in the conversation, she never looked towards him any more -than if she had been a sculptured Psyche modelled to look another way: -and when, after being called out for an hour or two, he re-entered the -room, she seemed unconscious of the fact, which eighteen months before -would have had the effect of a numeral before ciphers. In reality, -however, she was intensely aware of Lydgates voice and movements; and -her pretty good-tempered air of unconsciousness was a studied negation -by which she satisfied her inward opposition to him without compromise -of propriety. When the ladies were in the drawing-room after Lydgate -had been called away from the dessert, Mrs. Farebrother, when Rosamond -happened to be near her, saidYou have to give up a great deal of your -husbands society, Mrs. Lydgate. - -Yes, the life of a medical man is very arduous: especially when he is -so devoted to his profession as Mr. Lydgate is, said Rosamond, who was -standing, and moved easily away at the end of this correct little -speech. - -It is dreadfully dull for her when there is no company, said Mrs. -Vincy, who was seated at the old ladys side. I am sure I thought so -when Rosamond was ill, and I was staying with her. You know, Mrs. -Farebrother, ours is a cheerful house. I am of a cheerful disposition -myself, and Mr. Vincy always likes something to be going on. That is -what Rosamond has been used to. Very different from a husband out at -odd hours, and never knowing when he will come home, and of a close, -proud disposition, _I_ thinkindiscreet Mrs. Vincy did lower her tone -slightly with this parenthesis. But Rosamond always had an angel of a -temper; her brothers used very often not to please her, but she was -never the girl to show temper; from a baby she was always as good as -good, and with a complexion beyond anything. But my children are all -good-tempered, thank God. - -This was easily credible to any one looking at Mrs. Vincy as she threw -back her broad cap-strings, and smiled towards her three little girls, -aged from seven to eleven. But in that smiling glance she was obliged -to include Mary Garth, whom the three girls had got into a corner to -make her tell them stories. Mary was just finishing the delicious tale -of Rumpelstiltskin, which she had well by heart, because Letty was -never tired of communicating it to her ignorant elders from a favorite -red volume. Louisa, Mrs. Vincys darling, now ran to her with wide-eyed -serious excitement, crying, Oh mamma, mamma, the little man stamped so -hard on the floor he couldnt get his leg out again! - -Bless you, my cherub! said mamma; you shall tell me all about it -to-morrow. Go and listen! and then, as her eyes followed Louisa back -towards the attractive corner, she thought that if Fred wished her to -invite Mary again she would make no objection, the children being so -pleased with her. - -But presently the corner became still more animated, for Mr. -Farebrother came in, and seating himself behind Louisa, took her on his -lap; whereupon the girls all insisted that he must hear -Rumpelstiltskin, and Mary must tell it over again. He insisted too, and -Mary, without fuss, began again in her neat fashion, with precisely the -same words as before. Fred, who had also seated himself near, would -have felt unmixed triumph in Marys effectiveness if Mr. Farebrother -had not been looking at her with evident admiration, while he -dramatized an intense interest in the tale to please the children. - -You will never care any more about my one-eyed giant, Loo, said Fred -at the end. - -Yes, I shall. Tell about him now, said Louisa. - -Oh, I dare say; I am quite cut out. Ask Mr. Farebrother. - -Yes, added Mary; ask Mr. Farebrother to tell you about the ants -whose beautiful house was knocked down by a giant named Tom, and he -thought they didnt mind because he couldnt hear them cry, or see them -use their pocket-handkerchiefs. - -Please, said Louisa, looking up at the Vicar. - -No, no, I am a grave old parson. If I try to draw a story out of my -bag a sermon comes instead. Shall I preach you a sermon? said he, -putting on his short-sighted glasses, and pursing up his lips. - -Yes, said Louisa, falteringly. - -Let me see, then. Against cakes: how cakes are bad things, especially -if they are sweet and have plums in them. - -Louisa took the affair rather seriously, and got down from the Vicars -knee to go to Fred. - -Ah, I see it will not do to preach on New Years Day, said Mr. -Farebrother, rising and walking away. He had discovered of late that -Fred had become jealous of him, and also that he himself was not losing -his preference for Mary above all other women. - -A delightful young person is Miss Garth, said Mrs. Farebrother, who -had been watching her sons movements. - -Yes, said Mrs. Vincy, obliged to reply, as the old lady turned to her -expectantly. It is a pity she is not better-looking. - -I cannot say that, said Mrs. Farebrother, decisively. I like her -countenance. We must not always ask for beauty, when a good God has -seen fit to make an excellent young woman without it. I put good -manners first, and Miss Garth will know how to conduct herself in any -station. - -The old lady was a little sharp in her tone, having a prospective -reference to Marys becoming her daughter-in-law; for there was this -inconvenience in Marys position with regard to Fred, that it was not -suitable to be made public, and hence the three ladies at Lowick -Parsonage were still hoping that Camden would choose Miss Garth. - -New visitors entered, and the drawing-room was given up to music and -games, while whist-tables were prepared in the quiet room on the other -side of the hall. Mr. Farebrother played a rubber to satisfy his -mother, who regarded her occasional whist as a protest against scandal -and novelty of opinion, in which light even a revoke had its dignity. -But at the end he got Mr. Chichely to take his place, and left the -room. As he crossed the hall, Lydgate had just come in and was taking -off his great-coat. - -You are the man I was going to look for, said the Vicar; and instead -of entering the drawing-room, they walked along the hall and stood -against the fireplace, where the frosty air helped to make a glowing -bank. You see, I can leave the whist-table easily enough, he went on, -smiling at Lydgate, now I dont play for money. I owe that to you, -Mrs. Casaubon says. - -How? said Lydgate, coldly. - -Ah, you didnt mean me to know it; I call that ungenerous reticence. -You should let a man have the pleasure of feeling that you have done -him a good turn. I dont enter into some peoples dislike of being -under an obligation: upon my word, I prefer being under an obligation -to everybody for behaving well to me. - -I cant tell what you mean, said Lydgate, unless it is that I once -spoke of you to Mrs. Casaubon. But I did not think that she would break -her promise not to mention that I had done so, said Lydgate, leaning -his back against the corner of the mantel-piece, and showing no -radiance in his face. - -It was Brooke who let it out, only the other day. He paid me the -compliment of saying that he was very glad I had the living though you -had come across his tactics, and had praised me up as a Ken and a -Tillotson, and that sort of thing, till Mrs. Casaubon would hear of no -one else. - -Oh, Brooke is such a leaky-minded fool, said Lydgate, contemptuously. - -Well, I was glad of the leakiness then. I dont see why you shouldnt -like me to know that you wished to do me a service, my dear fellow. And -you certainly have done me one. Its rather a strong check to ones -self-complacency to find how much of ones right doing depends on not -being in want of money. A man will not be tempted to say the Lords -Prayer backward to please the devil, if he doesnt want the devils -services. I have no need to hang on the smiles of chance now. - -I dont see that theres any money-getting without chance, said -Lydgate; if a man gets it in a profession, its pretty sure to come by -chance. - -Mr. Farebrother thought he could account for this speech, in striking -contrast with Lydgates former way of talking, as the perversity which -will often spring from the moodiness of a man ill at ease in his -affairs. He answered in a tone of good-humored admission - -Ah, theres enormous patience wanted with the way of the world. But it -is the easier for a man to wait patiently when he has friends who love -him, and ask for nothing better than to help him through, so far as it -lies in their power. - -Oh yes, said Lydgate, in a careless tone, changing his attitude and -looking at his watch. People make much more of their difficulties than -they need to do. - -He knew as distinctly as possible that this was an offer of help to -himself from Mr. Farebrother, and he could not bear it. So strangely -determined are we mortals, that, after having been long gratified with -the sense that he had privately done the Vicar a service, the -suggestion that the Vicar discerned his need of a service in return -made him shrink into unconquerable reticence. Besides, behind all -making of such offers what else must come?that he should mention his -case, imply that he wanted specific things. At that moment, suicide -seemed easier. - -Mr. Farebrother was too keen a man not to know the meaning of that -reply, and there was a certain massiveness in Lydgates manner and -tone, corresponding with his physique, which if he repelled your -advances in the first instance seemed to put persuasive devices out of -question. - -What time are you? said the Vicar, devouring his wounded feeling. - -After eleven, said Lydgate. And they went into the drawing-room. - - - - -CHAPTER LXIV. - -1_st Gent_. Where lies the power, there let the blame lie too. - -2_d Gent_. Nay, power is relative; you cannot fright - The coming pest with border fortresses, - Or catch your carp with subtle argument. - All force is twain in one: cause is not cause - Unless effect be there; and actions self - Must needs contain a passive. So command - Exists but with obedience. - - -Even if Lydgate had been inclined to be quite open about his affairs, -he knew that it would have hardly been in Mr. Farebrothers power to -give him the help he immediately wanted. With the years bills coming -in from his tradesmen, with Dovers threatening hold on his furniture, -and with nothing to depend on but slow dribbling payments from patients -who must not be offendedfor the handsome fees he had had from Freshitt -Hall and Lowick Manor had been easily absorbednothing less than a -thousand pounds would have freed him from actual embarrassment, and -left a residue which, according to the favorite phrase of hopefulness -in such circumstances, would have given him time to look about him. - -Naturally, the merry Christmas bringing the happy New Year, when -fellow-citizens expect to be paid for the trouble and goods they have -smilingly bestowed on their neighbors, had so tightened the pressure of -sordid cares on Lydgates mind that it was hardly possible for him to -think unbrokenly of any other subject, even the most habitual and -soliciting. He was not an ill-tempered man; his intellectual activity, -the ardent kindness of his heart, as well as his strong frame, would -always, under tolerably easy conditions, have kept him above the petty -uncontrolled susceptibilities which make bad temper. But he was now a -prey to that worst irritation which arises not simply from annoyances, -but from the second consciousness underlying those annoyances, of -wasted energy and a degrading preoccupation, which was the reverse of -all his former purposes. _This_ is what I am thinking of; and _that_ -is what I might have been thinking of, was the bitter incessant murmur -within him, making every difficulty a double goad to impatience. - -Some gentlemen have made an amazing figure in literature by general -discontent with the universe as a trap of dulness into which their -great souls have fallen by mistake; but the sense of a stupendous self -and an insignificant world may have its consolations. Lydgates -discontent was much harder to bear: it was the sense that there was a -grand existence in thought and effective action lying around him, while -his self was being narrowed into the miserable isolation of egoistic -fears, and vulgar anxieties for events that might allay such fears. His -troubles will perhaps appear miserably sordid, and beneath the -attention of lofty persons who can know nothing of debt except on a -magnificent scale. Doubtless they were sordid; and for the majority, -who are not lofty, there is no escape from sordidness but by being free -from money-craving, with all its base hopes and temptations, its -watching for death, its hinted requests, its horse-dealers desire to -make bad work pass for good, its seeking for function which ought to be -anothers, its compulsion often to long for Luck in the shape of a wide -calamity. - -It was because Lydgate writhed under the idea of getting his neck -beneath this vile yoke that he had fallen into a bitter moody state -which was continually widening Rosamonds alienation from him. After -the first disclosure about the bill of sale, he had made many efforts -to draw her into sympathy with him about possible measures for -narrowing their expenses, and with the threatening approach of -Christmas his propositions grew more and more definite. We two can do -with only one servant, and live on very little, he said, and I shall -manage with one horse. For Lydgate, as we have seen, had begun to -reason, with a more distinct vision, about the expenses of living, and -any share of pride he had given to appearances of that sort was meagre -compared with the pride which made him revolt from exposure as a -debtor, or from asking men to help him with their money. - -Of course you can dismiss the other two servants, if you like, said -Rosamond; but I should have thought it would be very injurious to your -position for us to live in a poor way. You must expect your practice to -be lowered. - -My dear Rosamond, it is not a question of choice. We have begun too -expensively. Peacock, you know, lived in a much smaller house than -this. It is my fault: I ought to have known better, and I deserve a -thrashingif there were anybody who had a right to give it mefor -bringing you into the necessity of living in a poorer way than you have -been used to. But we married because we loved each other, I suppose. -And that may help us to pull along till things get better. Come, dear, -put down that work and come to me. - -He was really in chill gloom about her at that moment, but he dreaded a -future without affection, and was determined to resist the oncoming of -division between them. Rosamond obeyed him, and he took her on his -knee, but in her secret soul she was utterly aloof from him. The poor -thing saw only that the world was not ordered to her liking, and -Lydgate was part of that world. But he held her waist with one hand and -laid the other gently on both of hers; for this rather abrupt man had -much tenderness in his manners towards women, seeming to have always -present in his imagination the weakness of their frames and the -delicate poise of their health both in body and mind. And he began -again to speak persuasively. - -I find, now I look into things a little, Rosy, that it is wonderful -what an amount of money slips away in our housekeeping. I suppose the -servants are careless, and we have had a great many people coming. But -there must be many in our rank who manage with much less: they must do -with commoner things, I suppose, and look after the scraps. It seems, -money goes but a little way in these matters, for Wrench has everything -as plain as possible, and he has a very large practice. - -Oh, if you think of living as the Wrenches do! said Rosamond, with a -little turn of her neck. But I have heard you express your disgust at -that way of living. - -Yes, they have bad taste in everythingthey make economy look ugly. We -neednt do that. I only meant that they avoid expenses, although Wrench -has a capital practice. - -Why should not you have a good practice, Tertius? Mr. Peacock had. You -should be more careful not to offend people, and you should send out -medicines as the others do. I am sure you began well, and you got -several good houses. It cannot answer to be eccentric; you should think -what will be generally liked, said Rosamond, in a decided little tone -of admonition. - -Lydgates anger rose: he was prepared to be indulgent towards feminine -weakness, but not towards feminine dictation. The shallowness of a -waternixies soul may have a charm until she becomes didactic. But he -controlled himself, and only said, with a touch of despotic firmness - -What I am to do in my practice, Rosy, it is for me to judge. That is -not the question between us. It is enough for you to know that our -income is likely to be a very narrow onehardly four hundred, perhaps -less, for a long time to come, and we must try to re-arrange our lives -in accordance with that fact. - -Rosamond was silent for a moment or two, looking before her, and then -said, My uncle Bulstrode ought to allow you a salary for the time you -give to the Hospital: it is not right that you should work for -nothing. - -It was understood from the beginning that my services would be -gratuitous. That, again, need not enter into our discussion. I have -pointed out what is the only probability, said Lydgate, impatiently. -Then checking himself, he went on more quietly - -I think I see one resource which would free us from a good deal of the -present difficulty. I hear that young Ned Plymdale is going to be -married to Miss Sophy Toller. They are rich, and it is not often that a -good house is vacant in Middlemarch. I feel sure that they would be -glad to take this house from us with most of our furniture, and they -would be willing to pay handsomely for the lease. I can employ Trumbull -to speak to Plymdale about it. - -Rosamond left her husbands knee and walked slowly to the other end of -the room; when she turned round and walked towards him it was evident -that the tears had come, and that she was biting her under-lip and -clasping her hands to keep herself from crying. Lydgate was -wretchedshaken with anger and yet feeling that it would be unmanly to -vent the anger just now. - -I am very sorry, Rosamond; I know this is painful. - -I thought, at least, when I had borne to send the plate back and have -that man taking an inventory of the furnitureI should have thought -_that_ would suffice. - -I explained it to you at the time, dear. That was only a security and -behind that security there is a debt. And that debt must be paid within -the next few months, else we shall have our furniture sold. If young -Plymdale will take our house and most of our furniture, we shall be -able to pay that debt, and some others too, and we shall be quit of a -place too expensive for us. We might take a smaller house: Trumbull, I -know, has a very decent one to let at thirty pounds a-year, and this is -ninety. Lydgate uttered this speech in the curt hammering way with -which we usually try to nail down a vague mind to imperative facts. -Tears rolled silently down Rosamonds cheeks; she just pressed her -handkerchief against them, and stood looking at the large vase on the -mantel-piece. It was a moment of more intense bitterness than she had -ever felt before. At last she said, without hurry and with careful -emphasis - -I never could have believed that you would like to act in that way. - -Like it? burst out Lydgate, rising from his chair, thrusting his -hands in his pockets and stalking away from the hearth; its not a -question of liking. Of course, I dont like it; its the only thing I -can do. He wheeled round there, and turned towards her. - -I should have thought there were many other means than that, said -Rosamond. Let us have a sale and leave Middlemarch altogether. - -To do what? What is the use of my leaving my work in Middlemarch to go -where I have none? We should be just as penniless elsewhere as we are -here, said Lydgate still more angrily. - -If we are to be in that position it will be entirely your own doing, -Tertius, said Rosamond, turning round to speak with the fullest -conviction. You will not behave as you ought to do to your own family. -You offended Captain Lydgate. Sir Godwin was very kind to me when we -were at Quallingham, and I am sure if you showed proper regard to him -and told him your affairs, he would do anything for you. But rather -than that, you like giving up our house and furniture to Mr. Ned -Plymdale. - -There was something like fierceness in Lydgates eyes, as he answered -with new violence, Well, then, if you will have it so, I do like it. I -admit that I like it better than making a fool of myself by going to -beg where its of no use. Understand then, that it is what I _like to -do._ - -There was a tone in the last sentence which was equivalent to the -clutch of his strong hand on Rosamonds delicate arm. But for all that, -his will was not a whit stronger than hers. She immediately walked out -of the room in silence, but with an intense determination to hinder -what Lydgate liked to do. - -He went out of the house, but as his blood cooled he felt that the -chief result of the discussion was a deposit of dread within him at the -idea of opening with his wife in future subjects which might again urge -him to violent speech. It was as if a fracture in delicate crystal had -begun, and he was afraid of any movement that might make it fatal. His -marriage would be a mere piece of bitter irony if they could not go on -loving each other. He had long ago made up his mind to what he thought -was her negative characterher want of sensibility, which showed itself -in disregard both of his specific wishes and of his general aims. The -first great disappointment had been borne: the tender devotedness and -docile adoration of the ideal wife must be renounced, and life must be -taken up on a lower stage of expectation, as it is by men who have lost -their limbs. But the real wife had not only her claims, she had still a -hold on his heart, and it was his intense desire that the hold should -remain strong. In marriage, the certainty, She will never love me -much, is easier to bear than the fear, I shall love her no more. -Hence, after that outburst, his inward effort was entirely to excuse -her, and to blame the hard circumstances which were partly his fault. -He tried that evening, by petting her, to heal the wound he had made in -the morning, and it was not in Rosamonds nature to be repellent or -sulky; indeed, she welcomed the signs that her husband loved her and -was under control. But this was something quite distinct from loving -_him_. Lydgate would not have chosen soon to recur to the plan of -parting with the house; he was resolved to carry it out, and say as -little more about it as possible. But Rosamond herself touched on it at -breakfast by saying, mildly - -Have you spoken to Trumbull yet? - -No, said Lydgate, but I shall call on him as I go by this morning. -No time must be lost. He took Rosamonds question as a sign that she -withdrew her inward opposition, and kissed her head caressingly when he -got up to go away. - -As soon as it was late enough to make a call, Rosamond went to Mrs. -Plymdale, Mr. Neds mother, and entered with pretty congratulations -into the subject of the coming marriage. Mrs. Plymdales maternal view -was, that Rosamond might possibly now have retrospective glimpses of -her own folly; and feeling the advantages to be at present all on the -side of her son, was too kind a woman not to behave graciously. - -Yes, Ned is most happy, I must say. And Sophy Toller is all I could -desire in a daughter-in-law. Of course her father is able to do -something handsome for herthat is only what would be expected with a -brewery like his. And the connection is everything we should desire. -But that is not what I look at. She is such a very nice girlno airs, -no pretensions, though on a level with the first. I dont mean with the -titled aristocracy. I see very little good in people aiming out of -their own sphere. I mean that Sophy is equal to the best in the town, -and she is contented with that. - -I have always thought her very agreeable, said Rosamond. - -I look upon it as a reward for Ned, who never held his head too high, -that he should have got into the very best connection, continued Mrs. -Plymdale, her native sharpness softened by a fervid sense that she was -taking a correct view. And such particular people as the Tollers are, -they might have objected because some of our friends are not theirs. It -is well known that your aunt Bulstrode and I have been intimate from -our youth, and Mr. Plymdale has been always on Mr. Bulstrodes side. -And I myself prefer serious opinions. But the Tollers have welcomed Ned -all the same. - -I am sure he is a very deserving, well-principled young man, said -Rosamond, with a neat air of patronage in return for Mrs. Plymdales -wholesome corrections. - -Oh, he has not the style of a captain in the army, or that sort of -carriage as if everybody was beneath him, or that showy kind of -talking, and singing, and intellectual talent. But I am thankful he has -not. It is a poor preparation both for here and Hereafter. - -Oh dear, yes; appearances have very little to do with happiness, said -Rosamond. I think there is every prospect of their being a happy -couple. What house will they take? - -Oh, as for that, they must put up with what they can get. They have -been looking at the house in St. Peters Place, next to Mr. Hackbutts; -it belongs to him, and he is putting it nicely in repair. I suppose -they are not likely to hear of a better. Indeed, I think Ned will -decide the matter to-day. - -I should think it is a nice house; I like St. Peters Place. - -Well, it is near the Church, and a genteel situation. But the windows -are narrow, and it is all ups and downs. You dont happen to know of -any other that would be at liberty? said Mrs. Plymdale, fixing her -round black eyes on Rosamond with the animation of a sudden thought in -them. - -Oh no; I hear so little of those things. - -Rosamond had not foreseen that question and answer in setting out to -pay her visit; she had simply meant to gather any information which -would help her to avert the parting with her own house under -circumstances thoroughly disagreeable to her. As to the untruth in her -reply, she no more reflected on it than she did on the untruth there -was in her saying that appearances had very little to do with -happiness. Her object, she was convinced, was thoroughly justifiable: -it was Lydgate whose intention was inexcusable; and there was a plan in -her mind which, when she had carried it out fully, would prove how very -false a step it would have been for him to have descended from his -position. - -She returned home by Mr. Borthrop Trumbulls office, meaning to call -there. It was the first time in her life that Rosamond had thought of -doing anything in the form of business, but she felt equal to the -occasion. That she should be obliged to do what she intensely disliked, -was an idea which turned her quiet tenacity into active invention. Here -was a case in which it could not be enough simply to disobey and be -serenely, placidly obstinate: she must act according to her judgment, -and she said to herself that her judgment was rightindeed, if it had -not been, she would not have wished to act on it. - -Mr. Trumbull was in the back-room of his office, and received Rosamond -with his finest manners, not only because he had much sensibility to -her charms, but because the good-natured fibre in him was stirred by -his certainty that Lydgate was in difficulties, and that this -uncommonly pretty womanthis young lady with the highest personal -attractionswas likely to feel the pinch of troubleto find herself -involved in circumstances beyond her control. He begged her to do him -the honor to take a seat, and stood before her trimming and comporting -himself with an eager solicitude, which was chiefly benevolent. -Rosamonds first question was, whether her husband had called on Mr. -Trumbull that morning, to speak about disposing of their house. - -Yes, maam, yes, he did; he did so, said the good auctioneer, trying -to throw something soothing into his iteration. I was about to fulfil -his order, if possible, this afternoon. He wished me not to -procrastinate. - -I called to tell you not to go any further, Mr. Trumbull; and I beg of -you not to mention what has been said on the subject. Will you oblige -me? - -Certainly I will, Mrs. Lydgate, certainly. Confidence is sacred with -me on business or any other topic. I am then to consider the commission -withdrawn? said Mr. Trumbull, adjusting the long ends of his blue -cravat with both hands, and looking at Rosamond deferentially. - -Yes, if you please. I find that Mr. Ned Plymdale has taken a housethe -one in St. Peters Place next to Mr. Hackbutts. Mr. Lydgate would be -annoyed that his orders should be fulfilled uselessly. And besides -that, there are other circumstances which render the proposal -unnecessary. - -Very good, Mrs. Lydgate, very good. I am at your commands, whenever -you require any service of me, said Mr. Trumbull, who felt pleasure in -conjecturing that some new resources had been opened. Rely on me, I -beg. The affair shall go no further. - -That evening Lydgate was a little comforted by observing that Rosamond -was more lively than she had usually been of late, and even seemed -interested in doing what would please him without being asked. He -thought, If she will be happy and I can rub through, what does it all -signify? It is only a narrow swamp that we have to pass in a long -journey. If I can get my mind clear again, I shall do. - -He was so much cheered that he began to search for an account of -experiments which he had long ago meant to look up, and had neglected -out of that creeping self-despair which comes in the train of petty -anxieties. He felt again some of the old delightful absorption in a -far-reaching inquiry, while Rosamond played the quiet music which was -as helpful to his meditation as the plash of an oar on the evening -lake. It was rather late; he had pushed away all the books, and was -looking at the fire with his hands clasped behind his head in -forgetfulness of everything except the construction of a new -controlling experiment, when Rosamond, who had left the piano and was -leaning back in her chair watching him, said - -Mr. Ned Plymdale has taken a house already. - -Lydgate, startled and jarred, looked up in silence for a moment, like a -man who has been disturbed in his sleep. Then flushing with an -unpleasant consciousness, he asked - -How do you know? - -I called at Mrs. Plymdales this morning, and she told me that he had -taken the house in St. Peters Place, next to Mr. Hackbutts. - -Lydgate was silent. He drew his hands from behind his head and pressed -them against the hair which was hanging, as it was apt to do, in a mass -on his forehead, while he rested his elbows on his knees. He was -feeling bitter disappointment, as if he had opened a door out of a -suffocating place and had found it walled up; but he also felt sure -that Rosamond was pleased with the cause of his disappointment. He -preferred not looking at her and not speaking, until he had got over -the first spasm of vexation. After all, he said in his bitterness, what -can a woman care about so much as house and furniture? a husband -without them is an absurdity. When he looked up and pushed his hair -aside, his dark eyes had a miserable blank non-expectance of sympathy -in them, but he only said, coolly - -Perhaps some one else may turn up. I told Trumbull to be on the -look-out if he failed with Plymdale. - -Rosamond made no remark. She trusted to the chance that nothing more -would pass between her husband and the auctioneer until some issue -should have justified her interference; at any rate, she had hindered -the event which she immediately dreaded. After a pause, she said - -How much money is it that those disagreeable people want? - -What disagreeable people? - -Those who took the listand the others. I mean, how much money would -satisfy them so that you need not be troubled any more? - -Lydgate surveyed her for a moment, as if he were looking for symptoms, -and then said, Oh, if I could have got six hundred from Plymdale for -furniture and as premium, I might have managed. I could have paid off -Dover, and given enough on account to the others to make them wait -patiently, if we contracted our expenses. - -But I mean how much should you want if we stayed in this house? - -More than I am likely to get anywhere, said Lydgate, with rather a -grating sarcasm in his tone. It angered him to perceive that Rosamonds -mind was wandering over impracticable wishes instead of facing possible -efforts. - -Why should you not mention the sum? said Rosamond, with a mild -indication that she did not like his manners. - -Well, said Lydgate in a guessing tone, it would take at least a -thousand to set me at ease. But, he added, incisively, I have to -consider what I shall do without it, not with it. - -Rosamond said no more. - -But the next day she carried out her plan of writing to Sir Godwin -Lydgate. Since the Captains visit, she had received a letter from him, -and also one from Mrs. Mengan, his married sister, condoling with her -on the loss of her baby, and expressing vaguely the hope that they -should see her again at Quallingham. Lydgate had told her that this -politeness meant nothing; but she was secretly convinced that any -backwardness in Lydgates family towards him was due to his cold and -contemptuous behavior, and she had answered the letters in her most -charming manner, feeling some confidence that a specific invitation -would follow. But there had been total silence. The Captain evidently -was not a great penman, and Rosamond reflected that the sisters might -have been abroad. However, the season was come for thinking of friends -at home, and at any rate Sir Godwin, who had chucked her under the -chin, and pronounced her to be like the celebrated beauty, Mrs. Croly, -who had made a conquest of him in 1790, would be touched by any appeal -from her, and would find it pleasant for her sake to behave as he ought -to do towards his nephew. Rosamond was naively convinced of what an old -gentleman ought to do to prevent her from suffering annoyance. And she -wrote what she considered the most judicious letter possibleone which -would strike Sir Godwin as a proof of her excellent sensepointing out -how desirable it was that Tertius should quit such a place as -Middlemarch for one more fitted to his talents, how the unpleasant -character of the inhabitants had hindered his professional success, and -how in consequence he was in money difficulties, from which it would -require a thousand pounds thoroughly to extricate him. She did not say -that Tertius was unaware of her intention to write; for she had the -idea that his supposed sanction of her letter would be in accordance -with what she did say of his great regard for his uncle Godwin as the -relative who had always been his best friend. Such was the force of -Poor Rosamonds tactics now she applied them to affairs. - -This had happened before the party on New Years Day, and no answer had -yet come from Sir Godwin. But on the morning of that day Lydgate had to -learn that Rosamond had revoked his order to Borthrop Trumbull. Feeling -it necessary that she should be gradually accustomed to the idea of -their quitting the house in Lowick Gate, he overcame his reluctance to -speak to her again on the subject, and when they were breakfasting -said - -I shall try to see Trumbull this morning, and tell him to advertise -the house in the Pioneer and the Trumpet. If the thing were -advertised, some one might be inclined to take it who would not -otherwise have thought of a change. In these country places many people -go on in their old houses when their families are too large for them, -for want of knowing where they can find another. And Trumbull seems to -have got no bite at all. - -Rosamond knew that the inevitable moment was come. I ordered Trumbull -not to inquire further, she said, with a careful calmness which was -evidently defensive. - -Lydgate stared at her in mute amazement. Only half an hour before he -had been fastening up her plaits for her, and talking the little -language of affection, which Rosamond, though not returning it, -accepted as if she had been a serene and lovely image, now and then -miraculously dimpling towards her votary. With such fibres still astir -in him, the shock he received could not at once be distinctly anger; it -was confused pain. He laid down the knife and fork with which he was -carving, and throwing himself back in his chair, said at last, with a -cool irony in his tone - -May I ask when and why you did so? - -When I knew that the Plymdales had taken a house, I called to tell him -not to mention ours to them; and at the same time I told him not to let -the affair go on any further. I knew that it would be very injurious to -you if it were known that you wished to part with your house and -furniture, and I had a very strong objection to it. I think that was -reason enough. - -It was of no consequence then that I had told you imperative reasons -of another kind; of no consequence that I had come to a different -conclusion, and given an order accordingly? said Lydgate, bitingly, -the thunder and lightning gathering about his brow and eyes. - -The effect of any ones anger on Rosamond had always been to make her -shrink in cold dislike, and to become all the more calmly correct, in -the conviction that she was not the person to misbehave whatever others -might do. She replied - -I think I had a perfect right to speak on a subject which concerns me -at least as much as you. - -Clearlyyou had a right to speak, but only to me. You had no right to -contradict my orders secretly, and treat me as if I were a fool, said -Lydgate, in the same tone as before. Then with some added scorn, Is it -possible to make you understand what the consequences will be? Is it of -any use for me to tell you again why we must try to part with the -house? - -It is not necessary for you to tell me again, said Rosamond, in a -voice that fell and trickled like cold water-drops. I remembered what -you said. You spoke just as violently as you do now. But that does not -alter my opinion that you ought to try every other means rather than -take a step which is so painful to me. And as to advertising the house, -I think it would be perfectly degrading to you. - -And suppose I disregard your opinion as you disregard mine? - -You can do so, of course. But I think you ought to have told me before -we were married that you would place me in the worst position, rather -than give up your own will. - -Lydgate did not speak, but tossed his head on one side, and twitched -the corners of his mouth in despair. Rosamond, seeing that he was not -looking at her, rose and set his cup of coffee before him; but he took -no notice of it, and went on with an inward drama and argument, -occasionally moving in his seat, resting one arm on the table, and -rubbing his hand against his hair. There was a conflux of emotions and -thoughts in him that would not let him either give thorough way to his -anger or persevere with simple rigidity of resolve. Rosamond took -advantage of his silence. - -When we were married everyone felt that your position was very high. I -could not have imagined then that you would want to sell our furniture, -and take a house in Bride Street, where the rooms are like cages. If we -are to live in that way let us at least leave Middlemarch. - -These would be very strong considerations, said Lydgate, half -ironicallystill there was a withered paleness about his lips as he -looked at his coffee, and did not drinkthese would be very strong -considerations if I did not happen to be in debt. - -Many persons must have been in debt in the same way, but if they are -respectable, people trust them. I am sure I have heard papa say that -the Torbits were in debt, and they went on very well. It cannot be good -to act rashly, said Rosamond, with serene wisdom. - -Lydgate sat paralyzed by opposing impulses: since no reasoning he could -apply to Rosamond seemed likely to conquer her assent, he wanted to -smash and grind some object on which he could at least produce an -impression, or else to tell her brutally that he was master, and she -must obey. But he not only dreaded the effect of such extremities on -their mutual lifehe had a growing dread of Rosamonds quiet elusive -obstinacy, which would not allow any assertion of power to be final; -and again, she had touched him in a spot of keenest feeling by implying -that she had been deluded with a false vision of happiness in marrying -him. As to saying that he was master, it was not the fact. The very -resolution to which he had wrought himself by dint of logic and -honorable pride was beginning to relax under her torpedo contact. He -swallowed half his cup of coffee, and then rose to go. - -I may at least request that you will not go to Trumbull at -presentuntil it has been seen that there are no other means, said -Rosamond. Although she was not subject to much fear, she felt it safer -not to betray that she had written to Sir Godwin. Promise me that you -will not go to him for a few weeks, or without telling me. - -Lydgate gave a short laugh. I think it is I who should exact a promise -that you will do nothing without telling me, he said, turning his eyes -sharply upon her, and then moving to the door. - -You remember that we are going to dine at papas, said Rosamond, -wishing that he should turn and make a more thorough concession to her. -But he only said Oh yes, impatiently, and went away. She held it to -be very odious in him that he did not think the painful propositions he -had had to make to her were enough, without showing so unpleasant a -temper. And when she put the moderate request that he would defer going -to Trumbull again, it was cruel in him not to assure her of what he -meant to do. She was convinced of her having acted in every way for the -best; and each grating or angry speech of Lydgates served only as an -addition to the register of offences in her mind. Poor Rosamond for -months had begun to associate her husband with feelings of -disappointment, and the terribly inflexible relation of marriage had -lost its charm of encouraging delightful dreams. It had freed her from -the disagreeables of her fathers house, but it had not given her -everything that she had wished and hoped. The Lydgate with whom she had -been in love had been a group of airy conditions for her, most of which -had disappeared, while their place had been taken by every-day details -which must be lived through slowly from hour to hour, not floated -through with a rapid selection of favorable aspects. The habits of -Lydgates profession, his home preoccupation with scientific subjects, -which seemed to her almost like a morbid vampires taste, his peculiar -views of things which had never entered into the dialogue of -courtshipall these continually alienating influences, even without the -fact of his having placed himself at a disadvantage in the town, and -without that first shock of revelation about Dovers debt, would have -made his presence dull to her. There was another presence which ever -since the early days of her marriage, until four months ago, had been -an agreeable excitement, but that was gone: Rosamond would not confess -to herself how much the consequent blank had to do with her utter -ennui; and it seemed to her (perhaps she was right) that an invitation -to Quallingham, and an opening for Lydgate to settle elsewhere than in -Middlemarchin London, or somewhere likely to be free from -unpleasantnesswould satisfy her quite well, and make her indifferent -to the absence of Will Ladislaw, towards whom she felt some resentment -for his exaltation of Mrs. Casaubon. - -That was the state of things with Lydgate and Rosamond on the New -Years Day when they dined at her fathers, she looking mildly neutral -towards him in remembrance of his ill-tempered behavior at breakfast, -and he carrying a much deeper effect from the inward conflict in which -that morning scene was only one of many epochs. His flushed effort -while talking to Mr. Farebrotherhis effort after the cynical pretence -that all ways of getting money are essentially the same, and that -chance has an empire which reduces choice to a fools illusionwas but -the symptom of a wavering resolve, a benumbed response to the old -stimuli of enthusiasm. - -What was he to do? He saw even more keenly than Rosamond did the -dreariness of taking her into the small house in Bride Street, where -she would have scanty furniture around her and discontent within: a -life of privation and life with Rosamond were two images which had -become more and more irreconcilable ever since the threat of privation -had disclosed itself. But even if his resolves had forced the two -images into combination, the useful preliminaries to that hard change -were not visibly within reach. And though he had not given the promise -which his wife had asked for, he did not go again to Trumbull. He even -began to think of taking a rapid journey to the North and seeing Sir -Godwin. He had once believed that nothing would urge him into making an -application for money to his uncle, but he had not then known the full -pressure of alternatives yet more disagreeable. He could not depend on -the effect of a letter; it was only in an interview, however -disagreeable this might be to himself, that he could give a thorough -explanation and could test the effectiveness of kinship. No sooner had -Lydgate begun to represent this step to himself as the easiest than -there was a reaction of anger that hehe who had long ago determined to -live aloof from such abject calculations, such self-interested anxiety -about the inclinations and the pockets of men with whom he had been -proud to have no aims in commonshould have fallen not simply to their -level, but to the level of soliciting them. - - - - -CHAPTER LXV. - -One of us two must bowen douteless, -And, sith a man is more reasonable -Than woman is, ye [men] moste be suffrable. -CHAUCER: _Canterbury Tales_. - - -The bias of human nature to be slow in correspondence triumphs even -over the present quickening in the general pace of things: what wonder -then that in 1832 old Sir Godwin Lydgate was slow to write a letter -which was of consequence to others rather than to himself? Nearly three -weeks of the new year were gone, and Rosamond, awaiting an answer to -her winning appeal, was every day disappointed. Lydgate, in total -ignorance of her expectations, was seeing the bills come in, and -feeling that Dovers use of his advantage over other creditors was -imminent. He had never mentioned to Rosamond his brooding purpose of -going to Quallingham: he did not want to admit what would appear to her -a concession to her wishes after indignant refusal, until the last -moment; but he was really expecting to set off soon. A slice of the -railway would enable him to manage the whole journey and back in four -days. - -But one morning after Lydgate had gone out, a letter came addressed to -him, which Rosamond saw clearly to be from Sir Godwin. She was full of -hope. Perhaps there might be a particular note to her enclosed; but -Lydgate was naturally addressed on the question of money or other aid, -and the fact that he was written to, nay, the very delay in writing at -all, seemed to certify that the answer was thoroughly compliant. She -was too much excited by these thoughts to do anything but light -stitching in a warm corner of the dining-room, with the outside of this -momentous letter lying on the table before her. About twelve she heard -her husbands step in the passage, and tripping to open the door, she -said in her lightest tones, Tertius, come in herehere is a letter for -you. - -Ah? he said, not taking off his hat, but just turning her round -within his arm to walk towards the spot where the letter lay. My uncle -Godwin! he exclaimed, while Rosamond reseated herself, and watched him -as he opened the letter. She had expected him to be surprised. - -While Lydgates eyes glanced rapidly over the brief letter, she saw his -face, usually of a pale brown, taking on a dry whiteness; with nostrils -and lips quivering he tossed down the letter before her, and said -violently - -It will be impossible to endure life with you, if you will always be -acting secretlyacting in opposition to me and hiding your actions. - -He checked his speech and turned his back on herthen wheeled round and -walked about, sat down, and got up again restlessly, grasping hard the -objects deep down in his pockets. He was afraid of saying something -irremediably cruel. - -Rosamond too had changed color as she read. The letter ran in this -way: - -DEAR TERTIUS,Dont set your wife to write to me when you have -anything to ask. It is a roundabout wheedling sort of thing which I -should not have credited you with. I never choose to write to a woman -on matters of business. As to my supplying you with a thousand pounds, -or only half that sum, I can do nothing of the sort. My own family -drains me to the last penny. With two younger sons and three daughters, -I am not likely to have cash to spare. You seem to have got through -your own money pretty quickly, and to have made a mess where you are; -the sooner you go somewhere else the better. But I have nothing to do -with men of your profession, and cant help you there. I did the best I -could for you as guardian, and let you have your own way in taking to -medicine. You might have gone into the army or the Church. Your money -would have held out for that, and there would have been a surer ladder -before you. Your uncle Charles has had a grudge against you for not -going into his profession, but not I. I have always wished you well, -but you must consider yourself on your own legs entirely now. - - -Your affectionate uncle, -GODWIN LYDGATE. - - -When Rosamond had finished reading the letter she sat quite still, with -her hands folded before her, restraining any show of her keen -disappointment, and intrenching herself in quiet passivity under her -husbands wrath. Lydgate paused in his movements, looked at her again, -and said, with biting severity - -Will this be enough to convince you of the harm you may do by secret -meddling? Have you sense enough to recognize now your incompetence to -judge and act for meto interfere with your ignorance in affairs which -it belongs to me to decide on? - -The words were hard; but this was not the first time that Lydgate had -been frustrated by her. She did not look at him, and made no reply. - -I had nearly resolved on going to Quallingham. It would have cost me -pain enough to do it, yet it might have been of some use. But it has -been of no use for me to think of anything. You have always been -counteracting me secretly. You delude me with a false assent, and then -I am at the mercy of your devices. If you mean to resist every wish I -express, say so and defy me. I shall at least know what I am doing -then. - -It is a terrible moment in young lives when the closeness of loves -bond has turned to this power of galling. In spite of Rosamonds -self-control a tear fell silently and rolled over her lips. She still -said nothing; but under that quietude was hidden an intense effect: she -was in such entire disgust with her husband that she wished she had -never seen him. Sir Godwins rudeness towards her and utter want of -feeling ranged him with Dover and all other creditorsdisagreeable -people who only thought of themselves, and did not mind how annoying -they were to her. Even her father was unkind, and might have done more -for them. In fact there was but one person in Rosamonds world whom she -did not regard as blameworthy, and that was the graceful creature with -blond plaits and with little hands crossed before her, who had never -expressed herself unbecomingly, and had always acted for the bestthe -best naturally being what she best liked. - -Lydgate pausing and looking at her began to feel that half-maddening -sense of helplessness which comes over passionate people when their -passion is met by an innocent-looking silence whose meek victimized air -seems to put them in the wrong, and at last infects even the justest -indignation with a doubt of its justice. He needed to recover the full -sense that he was in the right by moderating his words. - -Can you not see, Rosamond, he began again, trying to be simply grave -and not bitter, that nothing can be so fatal as a want of openness and -confidence between us? It has happened again and again that I have -expressed a decided wish, and you have seemed to assent, yet after that -you have secretly disobeyed my wish. In that way I can never know what -I have to trust to. There would be some hope for us if you would admit -this. Am I such an unreasonable, furious brute? Why should you not be -open with me? Still silence. - -Will you only say that you have been mistaken, and that I may depend -on your not acting secretly in future? said Lydgate, urgently, but -with something of request in his tone which Rosamond was quick to -perceive. She spoke with coolness. - -I cannot possibly make admissions or promises in answer to such words -as you have used towards me. I have not been accustomed to language of -that kind. You have spoken of my secret meddling, and my interfering -ignorance, and my false assent. I have never expressed myself in -that way to you, and I think that you ought to apologize. You spoke of -its being impossible to live with me. Certainly you have not made my -life pleasant to me of late. I think it was to be expected that I -should try to avert some of the hardships which our marriage has -brought on me. Another tear fell as Rosamond ceased speaking, and she -pressed it away as quietly as the first. - -Lydgate flung himself into a chair, feeling checkmated. What place was -there in her mind for a remonstrance to lodge in? He laid down his hat, -flung an arm over the back of his chair, and looked down for some -moments without speaking. Rosamond had the double purchase over him of -insensibility to the point of justice in his reproach, and of -sensibility to the undeniable hardships now present in her married -life. Although her duplicity in the affair of the house had exceeded -what he knew, and had really hindered the Plymdales from knowing of it, -she had no consciousness that her action could rightly be called false. -We are not obliged to identify our own acts according to a strict -classification, any more than the materials of our grocery and clothes. -Rosamond felt that she was aggrieved, and that this was what Lydgate -had to recognize. - -As for him, the need of accommodating himself to her nature, which was -inflexible in proportion to its negations, held him as with pincers. He -had begun to have an alarmed foresight of her irrevocable loss of love -for him, and the consequent dreariness of their life. The ready fulness -of his emotions made this dread alternate quickly with the first -violent movements of his anger. It would assuredly have been a vain -boast in him to say that he was her master. - -You have not made my life pleasant to me of latethe hardships which -our marriage has brought on methese words were stinging his -imagination as a pain makes an exaggerated dream. If he were not only -to sink from his highest resolve, but to sink into the hideous -fettering of domestic hate? - -Rosamond, he said, turning his eyes on her with a melancholy look, -you should allow for a mans words when he is disappointed and -provoked. You and I cannot have opposite interests. I cannot part my -happiness from yours. If I am angry with you, it is that you seem not -to see how any concealment divides us. How could I wish to make -anything hard to you either by my words or conduct? When I hurt you, I -hurt part of my own life. I should never be angry with you if you would -be quite open with me. - -I have only wished to prevent you from hurrying us into wretchedness -without any necessity, said Rosamond, the tears coming again from a -softened feeling now that her husband had softened. It is so very hard -to be disgraced here among all the people we know, and to live in such -a miserable way. I wish I had died with the baby. - -She spoke and wept with that gentleness which makes such words and -tears omnipotent over a loving-hearted man. Lydgate drew his chair near -to hers and pressed her delicate head against his cheek with his -powerful tender hand. He only caressed her; he did not say anything; -for what was there to say? He could not promise to shield her from the -dreaded wretchedness, for he could see no sure means of doing so. When -he left her to go out again, he told himself that it was ten times -harder for her than for him: he had a life away from home, and constant -appeals to his activity on behalf of others. He wished to excuse -everything in her if he couldbut it was inevitable that in that -excusing mood he should think of her as if she were an animal of -another and feebler species. Nevertheless she had mastered him. - - - - -CHAPTER LXVI. - -Tis one thing to be tempted, Escalus, -Another thing to fall. -_Measure for Measure_. - - -Lydgate certainly had good reason to reflect on the service his -practice did him in counteracting his personal cares. He had no longer -free energy enough for spontaneous research and speculative thinking, -but by the bedside of patients, the direct external calls on his -judgment and sympathies brought the added impulse needed to draw him -out of himself. It was not simply that beneficent harness of routine -which enables silly men to live respectably and unhappy men to live -calmlyit was a perpetual claim on the immediate fresh application of -thought, and on the consideration of anothers need and trial. Many of -us looking back through life would say that the kindest man we have -ever known has been a medical man, or perhaps that surgeon whose fine -tact, directed by deeply informed perception, has come to us in our -need with a more sublime beneficence than that of miracle-workers. Some -of that twice-blessed mercy was always with Lydgate in his work at the -Hospital or in private houses, serving better than any opiate to quiet -and sustain him under his anxieties and his sense of mental degeneracy. - -Mr. Farebrothers suspicion as to the opiate was true, however. Under -the first galling pressure of foreseen difficulties, and the first -perception that his marriage, if it were not to be a yoked loneliness, -must be a state of effort to go on loving without too much care about -being loved, he had once or twice tried a dose of opium. But he had no -hereditary constitutional craving after such transient escapes from the -hauntings of misery. He was strong, could drink a great deal of wine, -but did not care about it; and when the men round him were drinking -spirits, he took sugar and water, having a contemptuous pity even for -the earliest stages of excitement from drink. It was the same with -gambling. He had looked on at a great deal of gambling in Paris, -watching it as if it had been a disease. He was no more tempted by such -winning than he was by drink. He had said to himself that the only -winning he cared for must be attained by a conscious process of high, -difficult combination tending towards a beneficent result. The power he -longed for could not be represented by agitated fingers clutching a -heap of coin, or by the half-barbarous, half-idiotic triumph in the -eyes of a man who sweeps within his arms the ventures of twenty -chapfallen companions. - -But just as he had tried opium, so his thought now began to turn upon -gamblingnot with appetite for its excitement, but with a sort of -wistful inward gaze after that easy way of getting money, which implied -no asking and brought no responsibility. If he had been in London or -Paris at that time, it is probable that such thoughts, seconded by -opportunity, would have taken him into a gambling-house, no longer to -watch the gamblers, but to watch with them in kindred eagerness. -Repugnance would have been surmounted by the immense need to win, if -chance would be kind enough to let him. An incident which happened not -very long after that airy notion of getting aid from his uncle had been -excluded, was a strong sign of the effect that might have followed any -extant opportunity of gambling. - -The billiard-room at the Green Dragon was the constant resort of a -certain set, most of whom, like our acquaintance Mr. Bambridge, were -regarded as men of pleasure. It was here that poor Fred Vincy had made -part of his memorable debt, having lost money in betting, and been -obliged to borrow of that gay companion. It was generally known in -Middlemarch that a good deal of money was lost and won in this way; and -the consequent repute of the Green Dragon as a place of dissipation -naturally heightened in some quarters the temptation to go there. -Probably its regular visitants, like the initiates of freemasonry, -wished that there were something a little more tremendous to keep to -themselves concerning it; but they were not a closed community, and -many decent seniors as well as juniors occasionally turned into the -billiard-room to see what was going on. Lydgate, who had the muscular -aptitude for billiards, and was fond of the game, had once or twice in -the early days after his arrival in Middlemarch taken his turn with the -cue at the Green Dragon; but afterwards he had no leisure for the game, -and no inclination for the socialities there. One evening, however, he -had occasion to seek Mr. Bambridge at that resort. The horsedealer had -engaged to get him a customer for his remaining good horse, for which -Lydgate had determined to substitute a cheap hack, hoping by this -reduction of style to get perhaps twenty pounds; and he cared now for -every small sum, as a help towards feeding the patience of his -tradesmen. To run up to the billiard-room, as he was passing, would -save time. - -Mr. Bambridge was not yet come, but would be sure to arrive by-and-by, -said his friend Mr. Horrock; and Lydgate stayed, playing a game for the -sake of passing the time. That evening he had the peculiar light in the -eyes and the unusual vivacity which had been once noticed in him by Mr. -Farebrother. The exceptional fact of his presence was much noticed in -the room, where there was a good deal of Middlemarch company; and -several lookers-on, as well as some of the players, were betting with -animation. Lydgate was playing well, and felt confident; the bets were -dropping round him, and with a swift glancing thought of the probable -gain which might double the sum he was saving from his horse, he began -to bet on his own play, and won again and again. Mr. Bambridge had come -in, but Lydgate did not notice him. He was not only excited with his -play, but visions were gleaming on him of going the next day to -Brassing, where there was gambling on a grander scale to be had, and -where, by one powerful snatch at the devils bait, he might carry it -off without the hook, and buy his rescue from his daily solicitings. - -He was still winning when two new visitors entered. One of them was a -young Hawley, just come from his law studies in town, and the other was -Fred Vincy, who had spent several evenings of late at this old haunt of -his. Young Hawley, an accomplished billiard-player, brought a cool -fresh hand to the cue. But Fred Vincy, startled at seeing Lydgate, and -astonished to see him betting with an excited air, stood aside, and -kept out of the circle round the table. - -Fred had been rewarding resolution by a little laxity of late. He had -been working heartily for six months at all outdoor occupations under -Mr. Garth, and by dint of severe practice had nearly mastered the -defects of his handwriting, this practice being, perhaps, a little the -less severe that it was often carried on in the evening at Mr. Garths -under the eyes of Mary. But the last fortnight Mary had been staying at -Lowick Parsonage with the ladies there, during Mr. Farebrothers -residence in Middlemarch, where he was carrying out some parochial -plans; and Fred, not seeing anything more agreeable to do, had turned -into the Green Dragon, partly to play at billiards, partly to taste the -old flavor of discourse about horses, sport, and things in general, -considered from a point of view which was not strenuously correct. He -had not been out hunting once this season, had had no horse of his own -to ride, and had gone from place to place chiefly with Mr. Garth in his -gig, or on the sober cob which Mr. Garth could lend him. It was a -little too bad, Fred began to think, that he should be kept in the -traces with more severity than if he had been a clergyman. I will tell -you what, Mistress Maryit will be rather harder work to learn -surveying and drawing plans than it would have been to write sermons, -he had said, wishing her to appreciate what he went through for her -sake; and as to Hercules and Theseus, they were nothing to me. They -had sport, and never learned to write a bookkeeping hand. And now, -Mary being out of the way for a little while, Fred, like any other -strong dog who cannot slip his collar, had pulled up the staple of his -chain and made a small escape, not of course meaning to go fast or far. -There could be no reason why he should not play at billiards, but he -was determined not to bet. As to money just now, Fred had in his mind -the heroic project of saving almost all of the eighty pounds that Mr. -Garth offered him, and returning it, which he could easily do by giving -up all futile money-spending, since he had a superfluous stock of -clothes, and no expense in his board. In that way he could, in one -year, go a good way towards repaying the ninety pounds of which he had -deprived Mrs. Garth, unhappily at a time when she needed that sum more -than she did now. Nevertheless, it must be acknowledged that on this -evening, which was the fifth of his recent visits to the billiard-room, -Fred had, not in his pocket, but in his mind, the ten pounds which he -meant to reserve for himself from his half-years salary (having before -him the pleasure of carrying thirty to Mrs. Garth when Mary was likely -to be come home again)he had those ten pounds in his mind as a fund -from which he might risk something, if there were a chance of a good -bet. Why? Well, when sovereigns were flying about, why shouldnt he -catch a few? He would never go far along that road again; but a man -likes to assure himself, and men of pleasure generally, what he could -do in the way of mischief if he chose, and that if he abstains from -making himself ill, or beggaring himself, or talking with the utmost -looseness which the narrow limits of human capacity will allow, it is -not because he is a spooney. Fred did not enter into formal reasons, -which are a very artificial, inexact way of representing the tingling -returns of old habit, and the caprices of young blood: but there was -lurking in him a prophetic sense that evening, that when he began to -play he should also begin to betthat he should enjoy some -punch-drinking, and in general prepare himself for feeling rather -seedy in the morning. It is in such indefinable movements that action -often begins. - -But the last thing likely to have entered Freds expectation was that -he should see his brother-in-law Lydgateof whom he had never quite -dropped the old opinion that he was a prig, and tremendously conscious -of his superioritylooking excited and betting, just as he himself -might have done. Fred felt a shock greater than he could quite account -for by the vague knowledge that Lydgate was in debt, and that his -father had refused to help him; and his own inclination to enter into -the play was suddenly checked. It was a strange reversal of attitudes: -Freds blond face and blue eyes, usually bright and careless, ready to -give attention to anything that held out a promise of amusement, -looking involuntarily grave and almost embarrassed as if by the sight -of something unfitting; while Lydgate, who had habitually an air of -self-possessed strength, and a certain meditativeness that seemed to -lie behind his most observant attention, was acting, watching, speaking -with that excited narrow consciousness which reminds one of an animal -with fierce eyes and retractile claws. - -Lydgate, by betting on his own strokes, had won sixteen pounds; but -young Hawleys arrival had changed the poise of things. He made -first-rate strokes himself, and began to bet against Lydgates strokes, -the strain of whose nerves was thus changed from simple confidence in -his own movements to defying another persons doubt in them. The -defiance was more exciting than the confidence, but it was less sure. -He continued to bet on his own play, but began often to fail. Still he -went on, for his mind was as utterly narrowed into that precipitous -crevice of play as if he had been the most ignorant lounger there. Fred -observed that Lydgate was losing fast, and found himself in the new -situation of puzzling his brains to think of some device by which, -without being offensive, he could withdraw Lydgates attention, and -perhaps suggest to him a reason for quitting the room. He saw that -others were observing Lydgates strange unlikeness to himself, and it -occurred to him that merely to touch his elbow and call him aside for a -moment might rouse him from his absorption. He could think of nothing -cleverer than the daring improbability of saying that he wanted to see -Rosy, and wished to know if she were at home this evening; and he was -going desperately to carry out this weak device, when a waiter came up -to him with a message, saying that Mr. Farebrother was below, and -begged to speak with him. - -Fred was surprised, not quite comfortably, but sending word that he -would be down immediately, he went with a new impulse up to Lydgate, -said, Can I speak to you a moment? and drew him aside. - -Farebrother has just sent up a message to say that he wants to speak -to me. He is below. I thought you might like to know he was there, if -you had anything to say to him. - -Fred had simply snatched up this pretext for speaking, because he could -not say, You are losing confoundedly, and are making everybody stare -at you; you had better come away. But inspiration could hardly have -served him better. Lydgate had not before seen that Fred was present, -and his sudden appearance with an announcement of Mr. Farebrother had -the effect of a sharp concussion. - -No, no, said Lydgate; I have nothing particular to say to him. -Butthe game is upI must be goingI came in just to see Bambridge. - -Bambridge is over there, but he is making a rowI dont think hes -ready for business. Come down with me to Farebrother. I expect he is -going to blow me up, and you will shield me, said Fred, with some -adroitness. - -Lydgate felt shame, but could not bear to act as if he felt it, by -refusing to see Mr. Farebrother; and he went down. They merely shook -hands, however, and spoke of the frost; and when all three had turned -into the street, the Vicar seemed quite willing to say good-by to -Lydgate. His present purpose was clearly to talk with Fred alone, and -he said, kindly, I disturbed you, young gentleman, because I have some -pressing business with you. Walk with me to St. Botolphs, will you? - -It was a fine night, the sky thick with stars, and Mr. Farebrother -proposed that they should make a circuit to the old church by the -London road. The next thing he said was - -I thought Lydgate never went to the Green Dragon? - -So did I, said Fred. But he said that he went to see Bambridge. - -He was not playing, then? - -Fred had not meant to tell this, but he was obliged now to say, Yes, -he was. But I suppose it was an accidental thing. I have never seen him -there before. - -You have been going often yourself, then, lately? - -Oh, about five or six times. - -I think you had some good reason for giving up the habit of going -there? - -Yes. You know all about it, said Fred, not liking to be catechised in -this way. I made a clean breast to you. - -I suppose that gives me a warrant to speak about the matter now. It is -understood between us, is it not?that we are on a footing of open -friendship: I have listened to you, and you will be willing to listen -to me. I may take my turn in talking a little about myself? - -I am under the deepest obligation to you, Mr. Farebrother, said Fred, -in a state of uncomfortable surmise. - -I will not affect to deny that you are under some obligation to me. -But I am going to confess to you, Fred, that I have been tempted to -reverse all that by keeping silence with you just now. When somebody -said to me, Young Vincy has taken to being at the billiard-table every -night againhe wont bear the curb long; I was tempted to do the -opposite of what I am doingto hold my tongue and wait while you went -down the ladder again, betting first and then - -I have not made any bets, said Fred, hastily. - -Glad to hear it. But I say, my prompting was to look on and see you -take the wrong turning, wear out Garths patience, and lose the best -opportunity of your lifethe opportunity which you made some rather -difficult effort to secure. You can guess the feeling which raised that -temptation in meI am sure you know it. I am sure you know that the -satisfaction of your affections stands in the way of mine. - -There was a pause. Mr. Farebrother seemed to wait for a recognition of -the fact; and the emotion perceptible in the tones of his fine voice -gave solemnity to his words. But no feeling could quell Freds alarm. - -I could not be expected to give her up, he said, after a moments -hesitation: it was not a case for any pretence of generosity. - -Clearly not, when her affection met yours. But relations of this sort, -even when they are of long standing, are always liable to change. I can -easily conceive that you might act in a way to loosen the tie she feels -towards youit must be remembered that she is only conditionally bound -to youand that in that case, another man, who may flatter himself that -he has a hold on her regard, might succeed in winning that firm place -in her love as well as respect which you had let slip. I can easily -conceive such a result, repeated Mr. Farebrother, emphatically. There -is a companionship of ready sympathy, which might get the advantage -even over the longest associations. It seemed to Fred that if Mr. -Farebrother had had a beak and talons instead of his very capable -tongue, his mode of attack could hardly be more cruel. He had a -horrible conviction that behind all this hypothetic statement there was -a knowledge of some actual change in Marys feeling. - -Of course I know it might easily be all up with me, he said, in a -troubled voice. If she is beginning to compare He broke off, not -liking to betray all he felt, and then said, by the help of a little -bitterness, But I thought you were friendly to me. - -So I am; that is why we are here. But I have had a strong disposition -to be otherwise. I have said to myself, If there is a likelihood of -that youngster doing himself harm, why should you interfere? Arent you -worth as much as he is, and dont your sixteen years over and above -his, in which you have gone rather hungry, give you more right to -satisfaction than he has? If theres a chance of his going to the dogs, -let himperhaps you could nohow hinder itand do you take the -benefit. - -There was a pause, in which Fred was seized by a most uncomfortable -chill. What was coming next? He dreaded to hear that something had been -said to Maryhe felt as if he were listening to a threat rather than a -warning. When the Vicar began again there was a change in his tone like -the encouraging transition to a major key. - -But I had once meant better than that, and I am come back to my old -intention. I thought that I could hardly _secure myself_ in it better, -Fred, than by telling you just what had gone on in me. And now, do you -understand me? I want you to make the happiness of her life and your -own, and if there is any chance that a word of warning from me may turn -aside any risk to the contrarywell, I have uttered it. - -There was a drop in the Vicars voice when he spoke the last words. He -pausedthey were standing on a patch of green where the road diverged -towards St. Botolphs, and he put out his hand, as if to imply that the -conversation was closed. Fred was moved quite newly. Some one highly -susceptible to the contemplation of a fine act has said, that it -produces a sort of regenerating shudder through the frame, and makes -one feel ready to begin a new life. A good degree of that effect was -just then present in Fred Vincy. - -I will try to be worthy, he said, breaking off before he could say -of you as well as of her. And meanwhile Mr. Farebrother had gathered -the impulse to say something more. - -You must not imagine that I believe there is at present any decline in -her preference of you, Fred. Set your heart at rest, that if you keep -right, other things will keep right. - -I shall never forget what you have done, Fred answered. I cant say -anything that seems worth sayingonly I will try that your goodness -shall not be thrown away. - -Thats enough. Good-by, and God bless you. - -In that way they parted. But both of them walked about a long while -before they went out of the starlight. Much of Freds rumination might -be summed up in the words, It certainly would have been a fine thing -for her to marry Farebrotherbut if she loves me best and I am a good -husband? - -Perhaps Mr. Farebrothers might be concentrated into a single shrug and -one little speech. To think of the part one little woman can play in -the life of a man, so that to renounce her may be a very good imitation -of heroism, and to win her may be a discipline! - - - - -CHAPTER LXVII. - -Now is there civil war within the soul: -Resolve is thrust from off the sacred throne -By clamorous Needs, and Pride the grand-vizier -Makes humble compact, plays the supple part -Of envoy and deft-tongued apologist -For hungry rebels. - - -Happily Lydgate had ended by losing in the billiard-room, and brought -away no encouragement to make a raid on luck. On the contrary, he felt -unmixed disgust with himself the next day when he had to pay four or -five pounds over and above his gains, and he carried about with him a -most unpleasant vision of the figure he had made, not only rubbing -elbows with the men at the Green Dragon but behaving just as they did. -A philosopher fallen to betting is hardly distinguishable from a -Philistine under the same circumstances: the difference will chiefly be -found in his subsequent reflections, and Lydgate chewed a very -disagreeable cud in that way. His reason told him how the affair might -have been magnified into ruin by a slight change of sceneryif it had -been a gambling-house that he had turned into, where chance could be -clutched with both hands instead of being picked up with thumb and -fore-finger. Nevertheless, though reason strangled the desire to -gamble, there remained the feeling that, with an assurance of luck to -the needful amount, he would have liked to gamble, rather than take the -alternative which was beginning to urge itself as inevitable. - -That alternative was to apply to Mr. Bulstrode. Lydgate had so many -times boasted both to himself and others that he was totally -independent of Bulstrode, to whose plans he had lent himself solely -because they enabled him to carry out his own ideas of professional -work and public benefithe had so constantly in their personal -intercourse had his pride sustained by the sense that he was making a -good social use of this predominating banker, whose opinions he thought -contemptible and whose motives often seemed to him an absurd mixture of -contradictory impressionsthat he had been creating for himself strong -ideal obstacles to the proffering of any considerable request to him on -his own account. - -Still, early in March his affairs were at that pass in which men begin -to say that their oaths were delivered in ignorance, and to perceive -that the act which they had called impossible to them is becoming -manifestly possible. With Dovers ugly security soon to be put in -force, with the proceeds of his practice immediately absorbed in paying -back debts, and with the chance, if the worst were known, of daily -supplies being refused on credit, above all with the vision of -Rosamonds hopeless discontent continually haunting him, Lydgate had -begun to see that he should inevitably bend himself to ask help from -somebody or other. At first he had considered whether he should write -to Mr. Vincy; but on questioning Rosamond he found that, as he had -suspected, she had already applied twice to her father, the last time -being since the disappointment from Sir Godwin; and papa had said that -Lydgate must look out for himself. Papa said he had come, with one bad -year after another, to trade more and more on borrowed capital, and had -had to give up many indulgences; he could not spare a single hundred -from the charges of his family. He said, let Lydgate ask Bulstrode: -they have always been hand and glove. - -Indeed, Lydgate himself had come to the conclusion that if he must end -by asking for a free loan, his relations with Bulstrode, more at least -than with any other man, might take the shape of a claim which was not -purely personal. Bulstrode had indirectly helped to cause the failure -of his practice, and had also been highly gratified by getting a -medical partner in his plans:but who among us ever reduced himself to -the sort of dependence in which Lydgate now stood, without trying to -believe that he had claims which diminished the humiliation of asking? -It was true that of late there had seemed to be a new languor of -interest in Bulstrode about the Hospital; but his health had got worse, -and showed signs of a deep-seated nervous affection. In other respects -he did not appear to be changed: he had always been highly polite, but -Lydgate had observed in him from the first a marked coldness about his -marriage and other private circumstances, a coldness which he had -hitherto preferred to any warmth of familiarity between them. He -deferred the intention from day to day, his habit of acting on his -conclusions being made infirm by his repugnance to every possible -conclusion and its consequent act. He saw Mr. Bulstrode often, but he -did not try to use any occasion for his private purpose. At one moment -he thought, I will write a letter: I prefer that to any circuitous -talk; at another he thought, No; if I were talking to him, I could -make a retreat before any signs of disinclination. - -Still the days passed and no letter was written, no special interview -sought. In his shrinking from the humiliation of a dependent attitude -towards Bulstrode, he began to familiarize his imagination with another -step even more unlike his remembered self. He began spontaneously to -consider whether it would be possible to carry out that puerile notion -of Rosamonds which had often made him angry, namely, that they should -quit Middlemarch without seeing anything beyond that preface. The -question cameWould any man buy the practice of me even now, for as -little as it is worth? Then the sale might happen as a necessary -preparation for going away. - -But against his taking this step, which he still felt to be a -contemptible relinquishment of present work, a guilty turning aside -from what was a real and might be a widening channel for worthy -activity, to start again without any justified destination, there was -this obstacle, that the purchaser, if procurable at all, might not be -quickly forthcoming. And afterwards? Rosamond in a poor lodging, though -in the largest city or most distant town, would not find the life that -could save her from gloom, and save him from the reproach of having -plunged her into it. For when a man is at the foot of the hill in his -fortunes, he may stay a long while there in spite of professional -accomplishment. In the British climate there is no incompatibility -between scientific insight and furnished lodgings: the incompatibility -is chiefly between scientific ambition and a wife who objects to that -kind of residence. - -But in the midst of his hesitation, opportunity came to decide him. A -note from Mr. Bulstrode requested Lydgate to call on him at the Bank. A -hypochondriacal tendency had shown itself in the bankers constitution -of late; and a lack of sleep, which was really only a slight -exaggeration of an habitual dyspeptic symptom, had been dwelt on by him -as a sign of threatening insanity. He wanted to consult Lydgate without -delay on that particular morning, although he had nothing to tell -beyond what he had told before. He listened eagerly to what Lydgate had -to say in dissipation of his fears, though this too was only -repetition; and this moment in which Bulstrode was receiving a medical -opinion with a sense of comfort, seemed to make the communication of a -personal need to him easier than it had been in Lydgates contemplation -beforehand. He had been insisting that it would be well for Mr. -Bulstrode to relax his attention to business. - -One sees how any mental strain, however slight, may affect a delicate -frame, said Lydgate at that stage of the consultation when the remarks -tend to pass from the personal to the general, by the deep stamp which -anxiety will make for a time even on the young and vigorous. I am -naturally very strong; yet I have been thoroughly shaken lately by an -accumulation of trouble. - -I presume that a constitution in the susceptible state in which mine -at present is, would be especially liable to fall a victim to cholera, -if it visited our district. And since its appearance near London, we -may well besiege the Mercy-seat for our protection, said Mr. -Bulstrode, not intending to evade Lydgates allusion, but really -preoccupied with alarms about himself. - -You have at all events taken your share in using good practical -precautions for the town, and that is the best mode of asking for -protection, said Lydgate, with a strong distaste for the broken -metaphor and bad logic of the bankers religion, somewhat increased by -the apparent deafness of his sympathy. But his mind had taken up its -long-prepared movement towards getting help, and was not yet arrested. -He added, The town has done well in the way of cleansing, and finding -appliances; and I think that if the cholera should come, even our -enemies will admit that the arrangements in the Hospital are a public -good. - -Truly, said Mr. Bulstrode, with some coldness. With regard to what -you say, Mr. Lydgate, about the relaxation of my mental labor, I have -for some time been entertaining a purpose to that effecta purpose of a -very decided character. I contemplate at least a temporary withdrawal -from the management of much business, whether benevolent or commercial. -Also I think of changing my residence for a time: probably I shall -close or let The Shrubs, and take some place near the coastunder -advice of course as to salubrity. That would be a measure which you -would recommend? - -Oh yes, said Lydgate, falling backward in his chair, with -ill-repressed impatience under the bankers pale earnest eyes and -intense preoccupation with himself. - -I have for some time felt that I should open this subject with you in -relation to our Hospital, continued Bulstrode. Under the -circumstances I have indicated, of course I must cease to have any -personal share in the management, and it is contrary to my views of -responsibility to continue a large application of means to an -institution which I cannot watch over and to some extent regulate. I -shall therefore, in case of my ultimate decision to leave Middlemarch, -consider that I withdraw other support to the New Hospital than that -which will subsist in the fact that I chiefly supplied the expenses of -building it, and have contributed further large sums to its successful -working. - -Lydgates thought, when Bulstrode paused according to his wont, was, -He has perhaps been losing a good deal of money. This was the most -plausible explanation of a speech which had caused rather a startling -change in his expectations. He said in reply - -The loss to the Hospital can hardly be made up, I fear. - -Hardly, returned Bulstrode, in the same deliberate, silvery tone; -except by some changes of plan. The only person who may be certainly -counted on as willing to increase her contributions is Mrs. Casaubon. I -have had an interview with her on the subject, and I have pointed out -to her, as I am about to do to you, that it will be desirable to win a -more general support to the New Hospital by a change of system. -Another pause, but Lydgate did not speak. - -The change I mean is an amalgamation with the Infirmary, so that the -New Hospital shall be regarded as a special addition to the elder -institution, having the same directing board. It will be necessary, -also, that the medical management of the two shall be combined. In this -way any difficulty as to the adequate maintenance of our new -establishment will be removed; the benevolent interests of the town -will cease to be divided. - -Mr. Bulstrode had lowered his eyes from Lydgates face to the buttons -of his coat as he again paused. - -No doubt that is a good device as to ways and means, said Lydgate, -with an edge of irony in his tone. But I cant be expected to rejoice -in it at once, since one of the first results will be that the other -medical men will upset or interrupt my methods, if it were only because -they are mine. - -I myself, as you know, Mr. Lydgate, highly valued the opportunity of -new and independent procedure which you have diligently employed: the -original plan, I confess, was one which I had much at heart, under -submission to the Divine Will. But since providential indications -demand a renunciation from me, I renounce. - -Bulstrode showed a rather exasperating ability in this conversation. -The broken metaphor and bad logic of motive which had stirred his -hearers contempt were quite consistent with a mode of putting the -facts which made it difficult for Lydgate to vent his own indignation -and disappointment. After some rapid reflection, he only asked - -What did Mrs. Casaubon say? - -That was the further statement which I wished to make to you, said -Bulstrode, who had thoroughly prepared his ministerial explanation. -She is, you are aware, a woman of most munificent disposition, and -happily in possessionnot I presume of great wealth, but of funds which -she can well spare. She has informed me that though she has destined -the chief part of those funds to another purpose, she is willing to -consider whether she cannot fully take my place in relation to the -Hospital. But she wishes for ample time to mature her thoughts on the -subject, and I have told her that there is no need for hastethat, in -fact, my own plans are not yet absolute. - -Lydgate was ready to say, If Mrs. Casaubon would take your place, -there would be gain, instead of loss. But there was still a weight on -his mind which arrested this cheerful candor. He replied, I suppose, -then, that I may enter into the subject with Mrs. Casaubon. - -Precisely; that is what she expressly desires. Her decision, she says, -will much depend on what you can tell her. But not at present: she is, -I believe, just setting out on a journey. I have her letter here, said -Mr. Bulstrode, drawing it out, and reading from it. I am immediately -otherwise engaged, she says. I am going into Yorkshire with Sir James -and Lady Chettam; and the conclusions I come to about some land which I -am to see there may affect my power of contributing to the Hospital. -Thus, Mr. Lydgate, there is no haste necessary in this matter; but I -wished to apprise you beforehand of what may possibly occur. - -Mr. Bulstrode returned the letter to his side-pocket, and changed his -attitude as if his business were closed. Lydgate, whose renewed hope -about the Hospital only made him more conscious of the facts which -poisoned his hope, felt that his effort after help, if made at all, -must be made now and vigorously. - -I am much obliged to you for giving me full notice, he said, with a -firm intention in his tone, yet with an interruptedness in his delivery -which showed that he spoke unwillingly. The highest object to me is my -profession, and I had identified the Hospital with the best use I can -at present make of my profession. But the best use is not always the -same with monetary success. Everything which has made the Hospital -unpopular has helped with other causesI think they are all connected -with my professional zealto make me unpopular as a practitioner. I get -chiefly patients who cant pay me. I should like them best, if I had -nobody to pay on my own side. Lydgate waited a little, but Bulstrode -only bowed, looking at him fixedly, and he went on with the same -interrupted enunciationas if he were biting an objectional leek. - -I have slipped into money difficulties which I can see no way out of, -unless some one who trusts me and my future will advance me a sum -without other security. I had very little fortune left when I came -here. I have no prospects of money from my own family. My expenses, in -consequence of my marriage, have been very much greater than I had -expected. The result at this moment is that it would take a thousand -pounds to clear me. I mean, to free me from the risk of having all my -goods sold in security of my largest debtas well as to pay my other -debtsand leave anything to keep us a little beforehand with our small -income. I find that it is out of the question that my wifes father -should make such an advance. That is why I mention my position toto -the only other man who may be held to have some personal connection -with my prosperity or ruin. - -Lydgate hated to hear himself. But he had spoken now, and had spoken -with unmistakable directness. Mr. Bulstrode replied without haste, but -also without hesitation. - -I am grieved, though, I confess, not surprised by this information, -Mr. Lydgate. For my own part, I regretted your alliance with my -brother-in-laws family, which has always been of prodigal habits, and -which has already been much indebted to me for sustainment in its -present position. My advice to you, Mr. Lydgate, would be, that instead -of involving yourself in further obligations, and continuing a doubtful -struggle, you should simply become a bankrupt. - -That would not improve my prospect, said Lydgate, rising and speaking -bitterly, even if it were a more agreeable thing in itself. - -It is always a trial, said Mr. Bulstrode; but trial, my dear sir, is -our portion here, and is a needed corrective. I recommend you to weigh -the advice I have given. - -Thank you, said Lydgate, not quite knowing what he said. I have -occupied you too long. Good-day. - - - - -CHAPTER LXVIII. - -What suit of grace hath Virtue to put on -If Vice shall wear as good, and do as well? -If Wrong, if Craft, if Indiscretion -Act as fair parts with ends as laudable? -Which all this mighty volume of events -The world, the universal map of deeds, -Strongly controls, and proves from all descents, -That the directest course still best succeeds. -For should not grave and learnd Experience -That looks with the eyes of all the world beside, -And with all ages holds intelligence, -Go safer than Deceit without a guide! -DANIEL: _Musophilus_. - - -That change of plan and shifting of interest which Bulstrode stated or -betrayed in his conversation with Lydgate, had been determined in him -by some severe experience which he had gone through since the epoch of -Mr. Larchers sale, when Raffles had recognized Will Ladislaw, and when -the banker had in vain attempted an act of restitution which might move -Divine Providence to arrest painful consequences. - -His certainty that Raffles, unless he were dead, would return to -Middlemarch before long, had been justified. On Christmas Eve he had -reappeared at The Shrubs. Bulstrode was at home to receive him, and -hinder his communication with the rest of the family, but he could not -altogether hinder the circumstances of the visit from compromising -himself and alarming his wife. Raffles proved more unmanageable than he -had shown himself to be in his former appearances, his chronic state of -mental restlessness, the growing effect of habitual intemperance, -quickly shaking off every impression from what was said to him. He -insisted on staying in the house, and Bulstrode, weighing two sets of -evils, felt that this was at least not a worse alternative than his -going into the town. He kept him in his own room for the evening and -saw him to bed, Raffles all the while amusing himself with the -annoyance he was causing this decent and highly prosperous -fellow-sinner, an amusement which he facetiously expressed as sympathy -with his friends pleasure in entertaining a man who had been -serviceable to him, and who had not had all his earnings. There was a -cunning calculation under this noisy jokinga cool resolve to extract -something the handsomer from Bulstrode as payment for release from this -new application of torture. But his cunning had a little overcast its -mark. - -Bulstrode was indeed more tortured than the coarse fibre of Raffles -could enable him to imagine. He had told his wife that he was simply -taking care of this wretched creature, the victim of vice, who might -otherwise injure himself; he implied, without the direct form of -falsehood, that there was a family tie which bound him to this care, -and that there were signs of mental alienation in Raffles which urged -caution. He would himself drive the unfortunate being away the next -morning. In these hints he felt that he was supplying Mrs. Bulstrode -with precautionary information for his daughters and servants, and -accounting for his allowing no one but himself to enter the room even -with food and drink. But he sat in an agony of fear lest Raffles should -be overheard in his loud and plain references to past factslest Mrs. -Bulstrode should be even tempted to listen at the door. How could he -hinder her, how betray his terror by opening the door to detect her? -She was a woman of honest direct habits, and little likely to take so -low a course in order to arrive at painful knowledge; but fear was -stronger than the calculation of probabilities. - -In this way Raffles had pushed the torture too far, and produced an -effect which had not been in his plan. By showing himself hopelessly -unmanageable he had made Bulstrode feel that a strong defiance was the -only resource left. After taking Raffles to bed that night the banker -ordered his closed carriage to be ready at half-past seven the next -morning. At six oclock he had already been long dressed, and had spent -some of his wretchedness in prayer, pleading his motives for averting -the worst evil if in anything he had used falsity and spoken what was -not true before God. For Bulstrode shrank from a direct lie with an -intensity disproportionate to the number of his more indirect misdeeds. -But many of these misdeeds were like the subtle muscular movements -which are not taken account of in the consciousness, though they bring -about the end that we fix our mind on and desire. And it is only what -we are vividly conscious of that we can vividly imagine to be seen by -Omniscience. - -Bulstrode carried his candle to the bedside of Raffles, who was -apparently in a painful dream. He stood silent, hoping that the -presence of the light would serve to waken the sleeper gradually and -gently, for he feared some noise as the consequence of a too sudden -awakening. He had watched for a couple of minutes or more the -shudderings and pantings which seemed likely to end in waking, when -Raffles, with a long half-stifled moan, started up and stared round him -in terror, trembling and gasping. But he made no further noise, and -Bulstrode, setting down the candle, awaited his recovery. - -It was a quarter of an hour later before Bulstrode, with a cold -peremptoriness of manner which he had not before shown, said, I came -to call you thus early, Mr. Raffles, because I have ordered the -carriage to be ready at half-past seven, and intend myself to conduct -you as far as Ilsely, where you can either take the railway or await a -coach. Raffles was about to speak, but Bulstrode anticipated him -imperiously with the words, Be silent, sir, and hear what I have to -say. I shall supply you with money now, and I will furnish you with a -reasonable sum from time to time, on your application to me by letter; -but if you choose to present yourself here again, if you return to -Middlemarch, if you use your tongue in a manner injurious to me, you -will have to live on such fruits as your malice can bring you, without -help from me. Nobody will pay you well for blasting my name: I know the -worst you can do against me, and I shall brave it if you dare to thrust -yourself upon me again. Get up, sir, and do as I order you, without -noise, or I will send for a policeman to take you off my premises, and -you may carry your stories into every pothouse in the town, but you -shall have no sixpence from me to pay your expenses there. - -Bulstrode had rarely in his life spoken with such nervous energy: he -had been deliberating on this speech and its probable effects through a -large part of the night; and though he did not trust to its ultimately -saving him from any return of Raffles, he had concluded that it was the -best throw he could make. It succeeded in enforcing submission from the -jaded man this morning: his empoisoned system at this moment quailed -before Bulstrodes cold, resolute bearing, and he was taken off quietly -in the carriage before the family breakfast time. The servants imagined -him to be a poor relation, and were not surprised that a strict man -like their master, who held his head high in the world, should be -ashamed of such a cousin and want to get rid of him. The bankers drive -of ten miles with his hated companion was a dreary beginning of the -Christmas day; but at the end of the drive, Raffles had recovered his -spirits, and parted in a contentment for which there was the good -reason that the banker had given him a hundred pounds. Various motives -urged Bulstrode to this open-handedness, but he did not himself inquire -closely into all of them. As he had stood watching Raffles in his -uneasy sleep, it had certainly entered his mind that the man had been -much shattered since the first gift of two hundred pounds. - -He had taken care to repeat the incisive statement of his resolve not -to be played on any more; and had tried to penetrate Raffles with the -fact that he had shown the risks of bribing him to be quite equal to -the risks of defying him. But when, freed from his repulsive presence, -Bulstrode returned to his quiet home, he brought with him no confidence -that he had secured more than a respite. It was as if he had had a -loathsome dream, and could not shake off its images with their hateful -kindred of sensationsas if on all the pleasant surroundings of his -life a dangerous reptile had left his slimy traces. - -Who can know how much of his most inward life is made up of the -thoughts he believes other men to have about him, until that fabric of -opinion is threatened with ruin? - -Bulstrode was only the more conscious that there was a deposit of -uneasy presentiment in his wifes mind, because she carefully avoided -any allusion to it. He had been used every day to taste the flavor of -supremacy and the tribute of complete deference: and the certainty that -he was watched or measured with a hidden suspicion of his having some -discreditable secret, made his voice totter when he was speaking to -edification. Foreseeing, to men of Bulstrodes anxious temperament, is -often worse than seeing; and his imagination continually heightened the -anguish of an imminent disgrace. Yes, imminent; for if his defiance of -Raffles did not keep the man awayand though he prayed for this result -he hardly hoped for itthe disgrace was certain. In vain he said to -himself that, if permitted, it would be a divine visitation, a -chastisement, a preparation; he recoiled from the imagined burning; and -he judged that it must be more for the Divine glory that he should -escape dishonor. That recoil had at last urged him to make preparations -for quitting Middlemarch. If evil truth must be reported of him, he -would then be at a less scorching distance from the contempt of his old -neighbors; and in a new scene, where his life would not have gathered -the same wide sensibility, the tormentor, if he pursued him, would be -less formidable. To leave the place finally would, he knew, be -extremely painful to his wife, and on other grounds he would have -preferred to stay where he had struck root. Hence he made his -preparations at first in a conditional way, wishing to leave on all -sides an opening for his return after brief absence, if any favorable -intervention of Providence should dissipate his fears. He was preparing -to transfer his management of the Bank, and to give up any active -control of other commercial affairs in the neighborhood, on the ground -of his failing health, but without excluding his future resumption of -such work. The measure would cause him some added expense and some -diminution of income beyond what he had already undergone from the -general depression of trade; and the Hospital presented itself as a -principal object of outlay on which he could fairly economize. - -This was the experience which had determined his conversation with -Lydgate. But at this time his arrangements had most of them gone no -farther than a stage at which he could recall them if they proved to be -unnecessary. He continually deferred the final steps; in the midst of -his fears, like many a man who is in danger of shipwreck or of being -dashed from his carriage by runaway horses, he had a clinging -impression that something would happen to hinder the worst, and that to -spoil his life by a late transplantation might be over-hastyespecially -since it was difficult to account satisfactorily to his wife for the -project of their indefinite exile from the only place where she would -like to live. - -Among the affairs Bulstrode had to care for, was the management of the -farm at Stone Court in case of his absence; and on this as well as on -all other matters connected with any houses and land he possessed in or -about Middlemarch, he had consulted Caleb Garth. Like every one else -who had business of that sort, he wanted to get the agent who was more -anxious for his employers interests than his own. With regard to Stone -Court, since Bulstrode wished to retain his hold on the stock, and to -have an arrangement by which he himself could, if he chose, resume his -favorite recreation of superintendence, Caleb had advised him not to -trust to a mere bailiff, but to let the land, stock, and implements -yearly, and take a proportionate share of the proceeds. - -May I trust to you to find me a tenant on these terms, Mr. Garth? -said Bulstrode. And will you mention to me the yearly sum which would -repay you for managing these affairs which we have discussed together? - -Ill think about it, said Caleb, in his blunt way. Ill see how I -can make it out. - -If it had not been that he had to consider Fred Vincys future, Mr. -Garth would not probably have been glad of any addition to his work, of -which his wife was always fearing an excess for him as he grew older. -But on quitting Bulstrode after that conversation, a very alluring idea -occurred to him about this said letting of Stone Court. What if -Bulstrode would agree to his placing Fred Vincy there on the -understanding that he, Caleb Garth, should be responsible for the -management? It would be an excellent schooling for Fred; he might make -a modest income there, and still have time left to get knowledge by -helping in other business. He mentioned his notion to Mrs. Garth with -such evident delight that she could not bear to chill his pleasure by -expressing her constant fear of his undertaking too much. - -The lad would be as happy as two, he said, throwing himself back in -his chair, and looking radiant, if I could tell him it was all -settled. Think; Susan! His mind had been running on that place for -years before old Featherstone died. And it would be as pretty a turn of -things as could be that he should hold the place in a good industrious -way after allby his taking to business. For its likely enough -Bulstrode might let him go on, and gradually buy the stock. He hasnt -made up his mind, I can see, whether or not he shall settle somewhere -else as a lasting thing. I never was better pleased with a notion in my -life. And then the children might be married by-and-by, Susan. - -You will not give any hint of the plan to Fred, until you are sure -that Bulstrode would agree to the plan? said Mrs. Garth, in a tone of -gentle caution. And as to marriage, Caleb, we old people need not help -to hasten it. - -Oh, I dont know, said Caleb, swinging his head aside. Marriage is a -taming thing. Fred would want less of my bit and bridle. However, I -shall say nothing till I know the ground Im treading on. I shall speak -to Bulstrode again. - -He took his earliest opportunity of doing so. Bulstrode had anything -but a warm interest in his nephew Fred Vincy, but he had a strong wish -to secure Mr. Garths services on many scattered points of business at -which he was sure to be a considerable loser, if they were under less -conscientious management. On that ground he made no objection to Mr. -Garths proposal; and there was also another reason why he was not -sorry to give a consent which was to benefit one of the Vincy family. -It was that Mrs. Bulstrode, having heard of Lydgates debts, had been -anxious to know whether her husband could not do something for poor -Rosamond, and had been much troubled on learning from him that -Lydgates affairs were not easily remediable, and that the wisest plan -was to let them take their course. Mrs. Bulstrode had then said for -the first time, I think you are always a little hard towards my -family, Nicholas. And I am sure I have no reason to deny any of my -relatives. Too worldly they may be, but no one ever had to say that -they were not respectable. - -My dear Harriet, said Mr. Bulstrode, wincing under his wifes eyes, -which were filling with tears, I have supplied your brother with a -great deal of capital. I cannot be expected to take care of his married -children. - -That seemed to be true, and Mrs. Bulstrodes remonstrance subsided into -pity for poor Rosamond, whose extravagant education she had always -foreseen the fruits of. - -But remembering that dialogue, Mr. Bulstrode felt that when he had to -talk to his wife fully about his plan of quitting Middlemarch, he -should be glad to tell her that he had made an arrangement which might -be for the good of her nephew Fred. At present he had merely mentioned -to her that he thought of shutting up The Shrubs for a few months, and -taking a house on the Southern Coast. - -Hence Mr. Garth got the assurance he desired, namely, that in case of -Bulstrodes departure from Middlemarch for an indefinite time, Fred -Vincy should be allowed to have the tenancy of Stone Court on the terms -proposed. - -Caleb was so elated with his hope of this neat turn being given to -things, that if his self-control had not been braced by a little -affectionate wifely scolding, he would have betrayed everything to -Mary, wanting to give the child comfort. However, he restrained -himself, and kept in strict privacy from Fred certain visits which he -was making to Stone Court, in order to look more thoroughly into the -state of the land and stock, and take a preliminary estimate. He was -certainly more eager in these visits than the probable speed of events -required him to be; but he was stimulated by a fatherly delight in -occupying his mind with this bit of probable happiness which he held in -store like a hidden birthday gift for Fred and Mary. - -But suppose the whole scheme should turn out to be a castle in the -air? said Mrs. Garth. - -Well, well, replied Caleb; the castle will tumble about nobodys -head. - - - - -CHAPTER LXIX. - -If thou hast heard a word, let it die with thee. -_Ecclesiasticus_. - - -Mr. Bulstrode was still seated in his managers room at the Bank, about -three oclock of the same day on which he had received Lydgate there, -when the clerk entered to say that his horse was waiting, and also that -Mr. Garth was outside and begged to speak with him. - -By all means, said Bulstrode; and Caleb entered. Pray sit down, Mr. -Garth, continued the banker, in his suavest tone. - -I am glad that you arrived just in time to find me here. I know you -count your minutes. - -Oh, said Caleb, gently, with a slow swing of his head on one side, as -he seated himself and laid his hat on the floor. - -He looked at the ground, leaning forward and letting his long fingers -droop between his legs, while each finger moved in succession, as if it -were sharing some thought which filled his large quiet brow. - -Mr. Bulstrode, like every one else who knew Caleb, was used to his -slowness in beginning to speak on any topic which he felt to be -important, and rather expected that he was about to recur to the buying -of some houses in Blindmans Court, for the sake of pulling them down, -as a sacrifice of property which would be well repaid by the influx of -air and light on that spot. It was by propositions of this kind that -Caleb was sometimes troublesome to his employers; but he had usually -found Bulstrode ready to meet him in projects of improvement, and they -had got on well together. When he spoke again, however, it was to say, -in rather a subdued voice - -I have just come away from Stone Court, Mr. Bulstrode. - -You found nothing wrong there, I hope, said the banker; I was there -myself yesterday. Abel has done well with the lambs this year. - -Why, yes, said Caleb, looking up gravely, there is something wronga -stranger, who is very ill, I think. He wants a doctor, and I came to -tell you of that. His name is Raffles. - -He saw the shock of his words passing through Bulstrodes frame. On -this subject the banker had thought that his fears were too constantly -on the watch to be taken by surprise; but he had been mistaken. - -Poor wretch! he said in a compassionate tone, though his lips -trembled a little. Do you know how he came there? - -I took him myself, said Caleb, quietlytook him up in my gig. He had -got down from the coach, and was walking a little beyond the turning -from the toll-house, and I overtook him. He remembered seeing me with -you once before, at Stone Court, and he asked me to take him on. I saw -he was ill: it seemed to me the right thing to do, to carry him under -shelter. And now I think you should lose no time in getting advice for -him. Caleb took up his hat from the floor as he ended, and rose slowly -from his seat. - -Certainly, said Bulstrode, whose mind was very active at this moment. -Perhaps you will yourself oblige me, Mr. Garth, by calling at Mr. -Lydgates as you passor stay! he may at this hour probably be at the -Hospital. I will first send my man on the horse there with a note this -instant, and then I will myself ride to Stone Court. - -Bulstrode quickly wrote a note, and went out himself to give the -commission to his man. When he returned, Caleb was standing as before -with one hand on the back of the chair, holding his hat with the other. -In Bulstrodes mind the dominant thought was, Perhaps Raffles only -spoke to Garth of his illness. Garth may wonder, as he must have done -before, at this disreputable fellows claiming intimacy with me; but he -will know nothing. And he is friendly to meI can be of use to him. - -He longed for some confirmation of this hopeful conjecture, but to have -asked any question as to what Raffles had said or done would have been -to betray fear. - -I am exceedingly obliged to you, Mr. Garth, he said, in his usual -tone of politeness. My servant will be back in a few minutes, and I -shall then go myself to see what can be done for this unfortunate man. -Perhaps you had some other business with me? If so, pray be seated. - -Thank you, said Caleb, making a slight gesture with his right hand to -waive the invitation. I wish to say, Mr. Bulstrode, that I must -request you to put your business into some other hands than mine. I am -obliged to you for your handsome way of meeting meabout the letting of -Stone Court, and all other business. But I must give it up. A sharp -certainty entered like a stab into Bulstrodes soul. - -This is sudden, Mr. Garth, was all he could say at first. - -It is, said Caleb; but it is quite fixed. I must give it up. - -He spoke with a firmness which was very gentle, and yet he could see -that Bulstrode seemed to cower under that gentleness, his face looking -dried and his eyes swerving away from the glance which rested on him. -Caleb felt a deep pity for him, but he could have used no pretexts to -account for his resolve, even if they would have been of any use. - -You have been led to this, I apprehend, by some slanders concerning me -uttered by that unhappy creature, said Bulstrode, anxious now to know -the utmost. - -That is true. I cant deny that I act upon what I heard from him. - -You are a conscientious man, Mr. Gartha man, I trust, who feels -himself accountable to God. You would not wish to injure me by being -too ready to believe a slander, said Bulstrode, casting about for -pleas that might be adapted to his hearers mind. That is a poor -reason for giving up a connection which I think I may say will be -mutually beneficial. - -I would injure no man if I could help it, said Caleb; even if I -thought God winked at it. I hope I should have a feeling for my -fellow-creature. But, sirI am obliged to believe that this Raffles has -told me the truth. And I cant be happy in working with you, or -profiting by you. It hurts my mind. I must beg you to seek another -agent. - -Very well, Mr. Garth. But I must at least claim to know the worst that -he has told you. I must know what is the foul speech that I am liable -to be the victim of, said Bulstrode, a certain amount of anger -beginning to mingle with his humiliation before this quiet man who -renounced his benefits. - -Thats needless, said Caleb, waving his hand, bowing his head -slightly, and not swerving from the tone which had in it the merciful -intention to spare this pitiable man. What he has said to me will -never pass from my lips, unless something now unknown forces it from -me. If you led a harmful life for gain, and kept others out of their -rights by deceit, to get the more for yourself, I dare say you -repentyou would like to go back, and cant: that must be a bitter -thingCaleb paused a moment and shook his headit is not for me to -make your life harder to you. - -But you doyou do make it harder to me, said Bulstrode constrained -into a genuine, pleading cry. You make it harder to me by turning your -back on me. - -That Im forced to do, said Caleb, still more gently, lifting up his -hand. I am sorry. I dont judge you and say, he is wicked, and I am -righteous. God forbid. I dont know everything. A man may do wrong, and -his will may rise clear out of it, though he cant get his life clear. -Thats a bad punishment. If it is so with you,well, Im very sorry for -you. But I have that feeling inside me, that I cant go on working with -you. Thats all, Mr. Bulstrode. Everything else is buried, so far as my -will goes. And I wish you good-day. - -One moment, Mr. Garth! said Bulstrode, hurriedly. I may trust then -to your solemn assurance that you will not repeat either to man or -woman whateven if it have any degree of truth in itis yet a malicious -representation? Calebs wrath was stirred, and he said, indignantly - -Why should I have said it if I didnt mean it? I am in no fear of you. -Such tales as that will never tempt my tongue. - -Excuse meI am agitatedI am the victim of this abandoned man. - -Stop a bit! you have got to consider whether you didnt help to make -him worse, when you profited by his vices. - -You are wronging me by too readily believing him, said Bulstrode, -oppressed, as by a nightmare, with the inability to deny flatly what -Raffles might have said; and yet feeling it an escape that Caleb had -not so stated it to him as to ask for that flat denial. - -No, said Caleb, lifting his hand deprecatingly; I am ready to -believe better, when better is proved. I rob you of no good chance. As -to speaking, I hold it a crime to expose a mans sin unless Im clear -it must be done to save the innocent. That is my way of thinking, Mr. -Bulstrode, and what I say, Ive no need to swear. I wish you good-day. - -Some hours later, when he was at home, Caleb said to his wife, -incidentally, that he had had some little differences with Bulstrode, -and that in consequence, he had given up all notion of taking Stone -Court, and indeed had resigned doing further business for him. - -He was disposed to interfere too much, was he? said Mrs. Garth, -imagining that her husband had been touched on his sensitive point, and -not been allowed to do what he thought right as to materials and modes -of work. - -Oh, said Caleb, bowing his head and waving his hand gravely. And Mrs. -Garth knew that this was a sign of his not intending to speak further -on the subject. - -As for Bulstrode, he had almost immediately mounted his horse and set -off for Stone Court, being anxious to arrive there before Lydgate. - -His mind was crowded with images and conjectures, which were a language -to his hopes and fears, just as we hear tones from the vibrations which -shake our whole system. The deep humiliation with which he had winced -under Caleb Garths knowledge of his past and rejection of his -patronage, alternated with and almost gave way to the sense of safety -in the fact that Garth, and no other, had been the man to whom Raffles -had spoken. It seemed to him a sort of earnest that Providence intended -his rescue from worse consequences; the way being thus left open for -the hope of secrecy. That Raffles should be afflicted with illness, -that he should have been led to Stone Court rather than -elsewhereBulstrodes heart fluttered at the vision of probabilities -which these events conjured up. If it should turn out that he was freed -from all danger of disgraceif he could breathe in perfect libertyhis -life should be more consecrated than it had ever been before. He -mentally lifted up this vow as if it would urge the result he longed -forhe tried to believe in the potency of that prayerful resolutionits -potency to determine death. He knew that he ought to say, Thy will be -done; and he said it often. But the intense desire remained that the -will of God might be the death of that hated man. - -Yet when he arrived at Stone Court he could not see the change in -Raffles without a shock. But for his pallor and feebleness, Bulstrode -would have called the change in him entirely mental. Instead of his -loud tormenting mood, he showed an intense, vague terror, and seemed to -deprecate Bulstrodes anger, because the money was all gonehe had been -robbedit had half of it been taken from him. He had only come here -because he was ill and somebody was hunting himsomebody was after him, -he had told nobody anything, he had kept his mouth shut. Bulstrode, not -knowing the significance of these symptoms, interpreted this new -nervous susceptibility into a means of alarming Raffles into true -confessions, and taxed him with falsehood in saying that he had not -told anything, since he had just told the man who took him up in his -gig and brought him to Stone Court. Raffles denied this with solemn -adjurations; the fact being that the links of consciousness were -interrupted in him, and that his minute terror-stricken narrative to -Caleb Garth had been delivered under a set of visionary impulses which -had dropped back into darkness. - -Bulstrodes heart sank again at this sign that he could get no grasp -over the wretched mans mind, and that no word of Raffles could be -trusted as to the fact which he most wanted to know, namely, whether or -not he had really kept silence to every one in the neighborhood except -Caleb Garth. The housekeeper had told him without the least constraint -of manner that since Mr. Garth left, Raffles had asked her for beer, -and after that had not spoken, seeming very ill. On that side it might -be concluded that there had been no betrayal. Mrs. Abel thought, like -the servants at The Shrubs, that the strange man belonged to the -unpleasant kin who are among the troubles of the rich; she had at -first referred the kinship to Mr. Rigg, and where there was property -left, the buzzing presence of such large blue-bottles seemed natural -enough. How he could be kin to Bulstrode as well was not so clear, -but Mrs. Abel agreed with her husband that there was no knowing, a -proposition which had a great deal of mental food for her, so that she -shook her head over it without further speculation. - -In less than an hour Lydgate arrived. Bulstrode met him outside the -wainscoted parlor, where Raffles was, and said - -I have called you in, Mr. Lydgate, to an unfortunate man who was once -in my employment, many years ago. Afterwards he went to America, and -returned I fear to an idle dissolute life. Being destitute, he has a -claim on me. He was slightly connected with Rigg, the former owner of -this place, and in consequence found his way here. I believe he is -seriously ill: apparently his mind is affected. I feel bound to do the -utmost for him. - -Lydgate, who had the remembrance of his last conversation with -Bulstrode strongly upon him, was not disposed to say an unnecessary -word to him, and bowed slightly in answer to this account; but just -before entering the room he turned automatically and said, What is his -name?to know names being as much a part of the medical mans -accomplishment as of the practical politicians. - -Raffles, John Raffles, said Bulstrode, who hoped that whatever became -of Raffles, Lydgate would never know any more of him. - -When he had thoroughly examined and considered the patient, Lydgate -ordered that he should go to bed, and be kept there in as complete -quiet as possible, and then went with Bulstrode into another room. - -It is a serious case, I apprehend, said the banker, before Lydgate -began to speak. - -Noand yes, said Lydgate, half dubiously. It is difficult to decide -as to the possible effect of long-standing complications; but the man -had a robust constitution to begin with. I should not expect this -attack to be fatal, though of course the system is in a ticklish state. -He should be well watched and attended to. - -I will remain here myself, said Bulstrode. Mrs. Abel and her husband -are inexperienced. I can easily remain here for the night, if you will -oblige me by taking a note for Mrs. Bulstrode. - -I should think that is hardly necessary, said Lydgate. He seems tame -and terrified enough. He might become more unmanageable. But there is a -man hereis there not? - -I have more than once stayed here a few nights for the sake of -seclusion, said Bulstrode, indifferently; I am quite disposed to do -so now. Mrs. Abel and her husband can relieve or aid me, if necessary. - -Very well. Then I need give my directions only to you, said Lydgate, -not feeling surprised at a little peculiarity in Bulstrode. - -You think, then, that the case is hopeful? said Bulstrode, when -Lydgate had ended giving his orders. - -Unless there turn out to be further complications, such as I have not -at present detectedyes, said Lydgate. He may pass on to a worse -stage; but I should not wonder if he got better in a few days, by -adhering to the treatment I have prescribed. There must be firmness. -Remember, if he calls for liquors of any sort, not to give them to him. -In my opinion, men in his condition are oftener killed by treatment -than by the disease. Still, new symptoms may arise. I shall come again -to-morrow morning. - -After waiting for the note to be carried to Mrs. Bulstrode, Lydgate -rode away, forming no conjectures, in the first instance, about the -history of Raffles, but rehearsing the whole argument, which had lately -been much stirred by the publication of Dr. Wares abundant experience -in America, as to the right way of treating cases of alcoholic -poisoning such as this. Lydgate, when abroad, had already been -interested in this question: he was strongly convinced against the -prevalent practice of allowing alcohol and persistently administering -large doses of opium; and he had repeatedly acted on this conviction -with a favorable result. - -The man is in a diseased state, he thought, but theres a good deal -of wear in him still. I suppose he is an object of charity to -Bulstrode. It is curious what patches of hardness and tenderness lie -side by side in mens dispositions. Bulstrode seems the most -unsympathetic fellow I ever saw about some people, and yet he has taken -no end of trouble, and spent a great deal of money, on benevolent -objects. I suppose he has some test by which he finds out whom Heaven -cares forhe has made up his mind that it doesnt care for me. - -This streak of bitterness came from a plenteous source, and kept -widening in the current of his thought as he neared Lowick Gate. He had -not been there since his first interview with Bulstrode in the morning, -having been found at the Hospital by the bankers messenger; and for -the first time he was returning to his home without the vision of any -expedient in the background which left him a hope of raising money -enough to deliver him from the coming destitution of everything which -made his married life tolerableeverything which saved him and Rosamond -from that bare isolation in which they would be forced to recognize how -little of a comfort they could be to each other. It was more bearable -to do without tenderness for himself than to see that his own -tenderness could make no amends for the lack of other things to her. -The sufferings of his own pride from humiliations past and to come were -keen enough, yet they were hardly distinguishable to himself from that -more acute pain which dominated themthe pain of foreseeing that -Rosamond would come to regard him chiefly as the cause of -disappointment and unhappiness to her. He had never liked the -makeshifts of poverty, and they had never before entered into his -prospects for himself; but he was beginning now to imagine how two -creatures who loved each other, and had a stock of thoughts in common, -might laugh over their shabby furniture, and their calculations how far -they could afford butter and eggs. But the glimpse of that poetry -seemed as far off from him as the carelessness of the golden age; in -poor Rosamonds mind there was not room enough for luxuries to look -small in. He got down from his horse in a very sad mood, and went into -the house, not expecting to be cheered except by his dinner, and -reflecting that before the evening closed it would be wise to tell -Rosamond of his application to Bulstrode and its failure. It would be -well not to lose time in preparing her for the worst. - -But his dinner waited long for him before he was able to eat it. For on -entering he found that Dovers agent had already put a man in the -house, and when he asked where Mrs. Lydgate was, he was told that she -was in her bedroom. He went up and found her stretched on the bed pale -and silent, without an answer even in her face to any word or look of -his. He sat down by the bed and leaning over her said with almost a cry -of prayer - -Forgive me for this misery, my poor Rosamond! Let us only love one -another. - -She looked at him silently, still with the blank despair on her face; -but then the tears began to fill her blue eyes, and her lip trembled. -The strong man had had too much to bear that day. He let his head fall -beside hers and sobbed. - -He did not hinder her from going to her father early in the morningit -seemed now that he ought not to hinder her from doing as she pleased. -In half an hour she came back, and said that papa and mamma wished her -to go and stay with them while things were in this miserable state. -Papa said he could do nothing about the debtif he paid this, there -would be half-a-dozen more. She had better come back home again till -Lydgate had got a comfortable home for her. Do you object, Tertius? - -Do as you like, said Lydgate. But things are not coming to a crisis -immediately. There is no hurry. - -I should not go till to-morrow, said Rosamond; I shall want to pack -my clothes. - -Oh, I would wait a little longer than to-morrowthere is no knowing -what may happen, said Lydgate, with bitter irony. I may get my neck -broken, and that may make things easier to you. - -It was Lydgates misfortune and Rosamonds too, that his tenderness -towards her, which was both an emotional prompting and a -well-considered resolve, was inevitably interrupted by these outbursts -of indignation either ironical or remonstrant. She thought them totally -unwarranted, and the repulsion which this exceptional severity excited -in her was in danger of making the more persistent tenderness -unacceptable. - -I see you do not wish me to go, she said, with chill mildness; why -can you not say so, without that kind of violence? I shall stay until -you request me to do otherwise. - -Lydgate said no more, but went out on his rounds. He felt bruised and -shattered, and there was a dark line under his eyes which Rosamond had -not seen before. She could not bear to look at him. Tertius had a way -of taking things which made them a great deal worse for her. - - - - -CHAPTER LXX. - -Our deeds still travel with us from afar, -And what we have been makes us what we are. - - -Bulstrodes first object after Lydgate had left Stone Court was to -examine Raffless pockets, which he imagined were sure to carry signs -in the shape of hotel-bills of the places he had stopped in, if he had -not told the truth in saying that he had come straight from Liverpool -because he was ill and had no money. There were various bills crammed -into his pocketbook, but none of a later date than Christmas at any -other place, except one, which bore date that morning. This was -crumpled up with a hand-bill about a horse-fair in one of his -tail-pockets, and represented the cost of three days stay at an inn at -Bilkley, where the fair was helda town at least forty miles from -Middlemarch. The bill was heavy, and since Raffles had no luggage with -him, it seemed probable that he had left his portmanteau behind in -payment, in order to save money for his travelling fare; for his purse -was empty, and he had only a couple of sixpences and some loose pence -in his pockets. - -Bulstrode gathered a sense of safety from these indications that -Raffles had really kept at a distance from Middlemarch since his -memorable visit at Christmas. At a distance and among people who were -strangers to Bulstrode, what satisfaction could there be to Raffless -tormenting, self-magnifying vein in telling old scandalous stories -about a Middlemarch banker? And what harm if he did talk? The chief -point now was to keep watch over him as long as there was any danger of -that intelligible raving, that unaccountable impulse to tell, which -seemed to have acted towards Caleb Garth; and Bulstrode felt much -anxiety lest some such impulse should come over him at the sight of -Lydgate. He sat up alone with him through the night, only ordering the -housekeeper to lie down in her clothes, so as to be ready when he -called her, alleging his own indisposition to sleep, and his anxiety to -carry out the doctors orders. He did carry them out faithfully, -although Raffles was incessantly asking for brandy, and declaring that -he was sinking awaythat the earth was sinking away from under him. He -was restless and sleepless, but still quailing and manageable. On the -offer of the food ordered by Lydgate, which he refused, and the denial -of other things which he demanded, he seemed to concentrate all his -terror on Bulstrode, imploringly deprecating his anger, his revenge on -him by starvation, and declaring with strong oaths that he had never -told any mortal a word against him. Even this Bulstrode felt that he -would not have liked Lydgate to hear; but a more alarming sign of -fitful alternation in his delirium was, that in-the morning twilight -Raffles suddenly seemed to imagine a doctor present, addressing him and -declaring that Bulstrode wanted to starve him to death out of revenge -for telling, when he never had told. - -Bulstrodes native imperiousness and strength of determination served -him well. This delicate-looking man, himself nervously perturbed, found -the needed stimulus in his strenuous circumstances, and through that -difficult night and morning, while he had the air of an animated corpse -returned to movement without warmth, holding the mastery by its chill -impassibility, his mind was intensely at work thinking of what he had -to guard against and what would win him security. Whatever prayers he -might lift up, whatever statements he might inwardly make of this mans -wretched spiritual condition, and the duty he himself was under to -submit to the punishment divinely appointed for him rather than to wish -for evil to anotherthrough all this effort to condense words into a -solid mental state, there pierced and spread with irresistible -vividness the images of the events he desired. And in the train of -those images came their apology. He could not but see the death of -Raffles, and see in it his own deliverance. What was the removal of -this wretched creature? He was impenitentbut were not public criminals -impenitent?yet the law decided on their fate. Should Providence in -this case award death, there was no sin in contemplating death as the -desirable issueif he kept his hands from hastening itif he -scrupulously did what was prescribed. Even here there might be a -mistake: human prescriptions were fallible things: Lydgate had said -that treatment had hastened death,why not his own method of treatment? -But of course intention was everything in the question of right and -wrong. - -And Bulstrode set himself to keep his intention separate from his -desire. He inwardly declared that he intended to obey orders. Why -should he have got into any argument about the validity of these -orders? It was only the common trick of desirewhich avails itself of -any irrelevant scepticism, finding larger room for itself in all -uncertainty about effects, in every obscurity that looks like the -absence of law. Still, he did obey the orders. - -His anxieties continually glanced towards Lydgate, and his remembrance -of what had taken place between them the morning before was accompanied -with sensibilities which had not been roused at all during the actual -scene. He had then cared but little about Lydgates painful impressions -with regard to the suggested change in the Hospital, or about the -disposition towards himself which what he held to be his justifiable -refusal of a rather exorbitant request might call forth. He recurred to -the scene now with a perception that he had probably made Lydgate his -enemy, and with an awakened desire to propitiate him, or rather to -create in him a strong sense of personal obligation. He regretted that -he had not at once made even an unreasonable money-sacrifice. For in -case of unpleasant suspicions, or even knowledge gathered from the -raving of Raffles, Bulstrode would have felt that he had a defence in -Lydgates mind by having conferred a momentous benefit on him. But the -regret had perhaps come too late. - -Strange, piteous conflict in the soul of this unhappy man, who had -longed for years to be better than he waswho had taken his selfish -passions into discipline and clad them in severe robes, so that he had -walked with them as a devout choir, till now that a terror had risen -among them, and they could chant no longer, but threw out their common -cries for safety. - -It was nearly the middle of the day before Lydgate arrived: he had -meant to come earlier, but had been detained, he said; and his -shattered looks were noticed by Balstrode. But he immediately threw -himself into the consideration of the patient, and inquired strictly -into all that had occurred. Raffles was worse, would take hardly any -food, was persistently wakeful and restlessly raving; but still not -violent. Contrary to Bulstrodes alarmed expectation, he took little -notice of Lydgates presence, and continued to talk or murmur -incoherently. - -What do you think of him? said Bulstrode, in private. - -The symptoms are worse. - -You are less hopeful? - -No; I still think he may come round. Are you going to stay here -yourself? said Lydgate, looking at Bulstrode with an abrupt question, -which made him uneasy, though in reality it was not due to any -suspicious conjecture. - -Yes, I think so, said Bulstrode, governing himself and speaking with -deliberation. Mrs. Bulstrode is advised of the reasons which detain -me. Mrs. Abel and her husband are not experienced enough to be left -quite alone, and this kind of responsibility is scarcely included in -their service of me. You have some fresh instructions, I presume. - -The chief new instruction that Lydgate had to give was on the -administration of extremely moderate doses of opium, in case of the -sleeplessness continuing after several hours. He had taken the -precaution of bringing opium in his pocket, and he gave minute -directions to Bulstrode as to the doses, and the point at which they -should cease. He insisted on the risk of not ceasing; and repeated his -order that no alcohol should be given. - -From what I see of the case, he ended, narcotism is the only thing I -should be much afraid of. He may wear through even without much food. -Theres a good deal of strength in him. - -You look ill yourself, Mr. Lydgatea most unusual, I may say -unprecedented thing in my knowledge of you, said Bulstrode, showing a -solicitude as unlike his indifference the day before, as his present -recklessness about his own fatigue was unlike his habitual -self-cherishing anxiety. I fear you are harassed. - -Yes, I am, said Lydgate, brusquely, holding his hat, and ready to go. - -Something new, I fear, said Bulstrode, inquiringly. Pray be seated. - -No, thank you, said Lydgate, with some hauteur. I mentioned to you -yesterday what was the state of my affairs. There is nothing to add, -except that the execution has since then been actually put into my -house. One can tell a good deal of trouble in a short sentence. I will -say good morning. - -Stay, Mr. Lydgate, stay, said Bulstrode; I have been reconsidering -this subject. I was yesterday taken by surprise, and saw it -superficially. Mrs. Bulstrode is anxious for her niece, and I myself -should grieve at a calamitous change in your position. Claims on me are -numerous, but on reconsideration, I esteem it right that I should incur -a small sacrifice rather than leave you unaided. You said, I think, -that a thousand pounds would suffice entirely to free you from your -burthens, and enable you to recover a firm stand? - -Yes, said Lydgate, a great leap of joy within him surmounting every -other feeling; that would pay all my debts, and leave me a little on -hand. I could set about economizing in our way of living. And by-and-by -my practice might look up. - -If you will wait a moment, Mr. Lydgate, I will draw a check to that -amount. I am aware that help, to be effectual in these cases, should be -thorough. - -While Bulstrode wrote, Lydgate turned to the window thinking of his -homethinking of his life with its good start saved from frustration, -its good purposes still unbroken. - -You can give me a note of hand for this, Mr. Lydgate, said the -banker, advancing towards him with the check. And by-and-by, I hope, -you may be in circumstances gradually to repay me. Meanwhile, I have -pleasure in thinking that you will be released from further -difficulty. - -I am deeply obliged to you, said Lydgate. You have restored to me -the prospect of working with some happiness and some chance of good. - -It appeared to him a very natural movement in Bulstrode that he should -have reconsidered his refusal: it corresponded with the more munificent -side of his character. But as he put his hack into a canter, that he -might get the sooner home, and tell the good news to Rosamond, and get -cash at the bank to pay over to Dovers agent, there crossed his mind, -with an unpleasant impression, as from a dark-winged flight of evil -augury across his vision, the thought of that contrast in himself which -a few months had broughtthat he should be overjoyed at being under a -strong personal obligationthat he should be overjoyed at getting money -for himself from Bulstrode. - -The banker felt that he had done something to nullify one cause of -uneasiness, and yet he was scarcely the easier. He did not measure the -quantity of diseased motive which had made him wish for Lydgates -good-will, but the quantity was none the less actively there, like an -irritating agent in his blood. A man vows, and yet will not cast away -the means of breaking his vow. Is it that he distinctly means to break -it? Not at all; but the desires which tend to break it are at work in -him dimly, and make their way into his imagination, and relax his -muscles in the very moments when he is telling himself over again the -reasons for his vow. Raffles, recovering quickly, returning to the free -use of his odious powershow could Bulstrode wish for that? Raffles -dead was the image that brought release, and indirectly he prayed for -that way of release, beseeching that, if it were possible, the rest of -his days here below might be freed from the threat of an ignominy which -would break him utterly as an instrument of Gods service. Lydgates -opinion was not on the side of promise that this prayer would be -fulfilled; and as the day advanced, Bulstrode felt himself getting -irritated at the persistent life in this man, whom he would fain have -seen sinking into the silence of death: imperious will stirred -murderous impulses towards this brute life, over which will, by itself, -had no power. He said inwardly that he was getting too much worn; he -would not sit up with the patient to-night, but leave him to Mrs. Abel, -who, if necessary, could call her husband. - -At six oclock, Raffles, having had only fitful perturbed snatches of -sleep, from which he waked with fresh restlessness and perpetual cries -that he was sinking away, Bulstrode began to administer the opium -according to Lydgates directions. At the end of half an hour or more -he called Mrs. Abel and told her that he found himself unfit for -further watching. He must now consign the patient to her care; and he -proceeded to repeat to her Lydgates directions as to the quantity of -each dose. Mrs. Abel had not before known anything of Lydgates -prescriptions; she had simply prepared and brought whatever Bulstrode -ordered, and had done what he pointed out to her. She began now to ask -what else she should do besides administering the opium. - -Nothing at present, except the offer of the soup or the soda-water: -you can come to me for further directions. Unless there is any -important change, I shall not come into the room again to-night. You -will ask your husband for help if necessary. I must go to bed early. - -Youve much need, sir, Im sure, said Mrs. Abel, and to take -something more strengthening than what youve done. - -Bulstrode went away now without anxiety as to what Raffles might say in -his raving, which had taken on a muttering incoherence not likely to -create any dangerous belief. At any rate he must risk this. He went -down into the wainscoted parlor first, and began to consider whether he -would not have his horse saddled and go home by the moonlight, and give -up caring for earthly consequences. Then, he wished that he had begged -Lydgate to come again that evening. Perhaps he might deliver a -different opinion, and think that Raffles was getting into a less -hopeful state. Should he send for Lydgate? If Raffles were really -getting worse, and slowly dying, Bulstrode felt that he could go to bed -and sleep in gratitude to Providence. But was he worse? Lydgate might -come and simply say that he was going on as he expected, and predict -that he would by-and-by fall into a good sleep, and get well. What was -the use of sending for him? Bulstrode shrank from that result. No ideas -or opinions could hinder him from seeing the one probability to be, -that Raffles recovered would be just the same man as before, with his -strength as a tormentor renewed, obliging him to drag away his wife to -spend her years apart from her friends and native place, carrying an -alienating suspicion against him in her heart. - -He had sat an hour and a half in this conflict by the firelight only, -when a sudden thought made him rise and light the bed-candle, which he -had brought down with him. The thought was, that he had not told Mrs. -Abel when the doses of opium must cease. - -He took hold of the candlestick, but stood motionless for a long while. -She might already have given him more than Lydgate had prescribed. But -it was excusable in him, that he should forget part of an order, in his -present wearied condition. He walked up-stairs, candle in hand, not -knowing whether he should straightway enter his own room and go to bed, -or turn to the patients room and rectify his omission. He paused in -the passage, with his face turned towards Raffless room, and he could -hear him moaning and murmuring. He was not asleep, then. Who could know -that Lydgates prescription would not be better disobeyed than -followed, since there was still no sleep? - -He turned into his own room. Before he had quite undressed, Mrs. Abel -rapped at the door; he opened it an inch, so that he could hear her -speak low. - -If you please, sir, should I have no brandy nor nothing to give the -poor creetur? He feels sinking away, and nothing else will he -swallerand but little strength in it, if he didonly the opium. And he -says more and more hes sinking down through the earth. - -To her surprise, Mr. Bulstrode did not answer. A struggle was going on -within him. - -I think he must die for want o support, if he goes on in that way. -When I nursed my poor master, Mr. Robisson, I had to give him port-wine -and brandy constant, and a big glass at a time, added Mrs. Abel, with -a touch of remonstrance in her tone. - -But again Mr. Bulstrode did not answer immediately, and she continued, -Its not a time to spare when people are at deaths door, nor would -you wish it, sir, Im sure. Else I should give him our own bottle o -rum as we keep by us. But a sitter-up so as youve been, and doing -everything as laid in your power - -Here a key was thrust through the inch of doorway, and Mr. Bulstrode -said huskily, That is the key of the wine-cooler. You will find plenty -of brandy there. - -Early in the morningabout sixMr. Bulstrode rose and spent some time -in prayer. Does any one suppose that private prayer is necessarily -candidnecessarily goes to the roots of action? Private prayer is -inaudible speech, and speech is representative: who can represent -himself just as he is, even in his own reflections? Bulstrode had not -yet unravelled in his thought the confused promptings of the last -four-and-twenty hours. - -He listened in the passage, and could hear hard stertorous breathing. -Then he walked out in the garden, and looked at the early rime on the -grass and fresh spring leaves. When he re-entered the house, he felt -startled at the sight of Mrs. Abel. - -How is your patientasleep, I think? he said, with an attempt at -cheerfulness in his tone. - -Hes gone very deep, sir, said Mrs. Abel. He went off gradual -between three and four oclock. Would you please to go and look at him? -I thought it no harm to leave him. My mans gone afield, and the little -girls seeing to the kettles. - -Bulstrode went up. At a glance he knew that Raffles was not in the -sleep which brings revival, but in the sleep which streams deeper and -deeper into the gulf of death. - -He looked round the room and saw a bottle with some brandy in it, and -the almost empty opium phial. He put the phial out of sight, and -carried the brandy-bottle down-stairs with him, locking it again in the -wine-cooler. - -While breakfasting he considered whether he should ride to Middlemarch -at once, or wait for Lydgates arrival. He decided to wait, and told -Mrs. Abel that she might go about her workhe could watch in the -bed-chamber. - -As he sat there and beheld the enemy of his peace going irrevocably -into silence, he felt more at rest than he had done for many months. -His conscience was soothed by the enfolding wing of secrecy, which -seemed just then like an angel sent down for his relief. He drew out -his pocket-book to review various memoranda there as to the -arrangements he had projected and partly carried out in the prospect of -quitting Middlemarch, and considered how far he would let them stand or -recall them, now that his absence would be brief. Some economies which -he felt desirable might still find a suitable occasion in his temporary -withdrawal from management, and he hoped still that Mrs. Casaubon would -take a large share in the expenses of the Hospital. In that way the -moments passed, until a change in the stertorous breathing was marked -enough to draw his attention wholly to the bed, and forced him to think -of the departing life, which had once been subservient to his ownwhich -he had once been glad to find base enough for him to act on as he -would. It was his gladness then which impelled him now to be glad that -the life was at an end. - -And who could say that the death of Raffles had been hastened? Who knew -what would have saved him? - -Lydgate arrived at half-past ten, in time to witness the final pause of -the breath. When he entered the room Bulstrode observed a sudden -expression in his face, which was not so much surprise as a recognition -that he had not judged correctly. He stood by the bed in silence for -some time, with his eyes turned on the dying man, but with that subdued -activity of expression which showed that he was carrying on an inward -debate. - -When did this change begin? said he, looking at Bulstrode. - -I did not watch by him last night, said Bulstrode. I was over-worn, -and left him under Mrs. Abels care. She said that he sank into sleep -between three and four oclock. When I came in before eight he was -nearly in this condition. - -Lydgate did not ask another question, but watched in silence until he -said, Its all over. - -This morning Lydgate was in a state of recovered hope and freedom. He -had set out on his work with all his old animation, and felt himself -strong enough to bear all the deficiencies of his married life. And he -was conscious that Bulstrode had been a benefactor to him. But he was -uneasy about this case. He had not expected it to terminate as it had -done. Yet he hardly knew how to put a question on the subject to -Bulstrode without appearing to insult him; and if he examined the -housekeeperwhy, the man was dead. There seemed to be no use in -implying that somebodys ignorance or imprudence had killed him. And -after all, he himself might be wrong. - -He and Bulstrode rode back to Middlemarch together, talking of many -thingschiefly cholera and the chances of the Reform Bill in the House -of Lords, and the firm resolve of the political Unions. Nothing was -said about Raffles, except that Bulstrode mentioned the necessity of -having a grave for him in Lowick churchyard, and observed that, so far -as he knew, the poor man had no connections, except Rigg, whom he had -stated to be unfriendly towards him. - -On returning home Lydgate had a visit from Mr. Farebrother. The Vicar -had not been in the town the day before, but the news that there was an -execution in Lydgates house had got to Lowick by the evening, having -been carried by Mr. Spicer, shoemaker and parish-clerk, who had it from -his brother, the respectable bell-hanger in Lowick Gate. Since that -evening when Lydgate had come down from the billiard room with Fred -Vincy, Mr. Farebrothers thoughts about him had been rather gloomy. -Playing at the Green Dragon once or oftener might have been a trifle in -another man; but in Lydgate it was one of several signs that he was -getting unlike his former self. He was beginning to do things for which -he had formerly even an excessive scorn. Whatever certain -dissatisfactions in marriage, which some silly tinklings of gossip had -given him hints of, might have to do with this change, Mr. Farebrother -felt sure that it was chiefly connected with the debts which were being -more and more distinctly reported, and he began to fear that any notion -of Lydgates having resources or friends in the background must be -quite illusory. The rebuff he had met with in his first attempt to win -Lydgates confidence, disinclined him to a second; but this news of the -execution being actually in the house, determined the Vicar to overcome -his reluctance. - -Lydgate had just dismissed a poor patient, in whom he was much -interested, and he came forward to put out his handwith an open -cheerfulness which surprised Mr. Farebrother. Could this too be a proud -rejection of sympathy and help? Never mind; the sympathy and help -should be offered. - -How are you, Lydgate? I came to see you because I had heard something -which made me anxious about you, said the Vicar, in the tone of a good -brother, only that there was no reproach in it. They were both seated -by this time, and Lydgate answered immediately - -I think I know what you mean. You had heard that there was an -execution in the house? - -Yes; is it true? - -It was true, said Lydgate, with an air of freedom, as if he did not -mind talking about the affair now. But the danger is over; the debt is -paid. I am out of my difficulties now: I shall be freed from debts, and -able, I hope, to start afresh on a better plan. - -I am very thankful to hear it, said the Vicar, falling back in his -chair, and speaking with that low-toned quickness which often follows -the removal of a load. I like that better than all the news in the -Times. I confess I came to you with a heavy heart. - -Thank you for coming, said Lydgate, cordially. I can enjoy the -kindness all the more because I am happier. I have certainly been a -good deal crushed. Im afraid I shall find the bruises still painful -by-and by, he added, smiling rather sadly; but just now I can only -feel that the torture-screw is off. - -Mr. Farebrother was silent for a moment, and then said earnestly, My -dear fellow, let me ask you one question. Forgive me if I take a -liberty. - -I dont believe you will ask anything that ought to offend me. - -Thenthis is necessary to set my heart quite at restyou have nothave -you?in order to pay your debts, incurred another debt which may harass -you worse hereafter? - -No, said Lydgate, coloring slightly. There is no reason why I should -not tell yousince the fact is sothat the person to whom I am indebted -is Bulstrode. He has made me a very handsome advancea thousand -poundsand he can afford to wait for repayment. - -Well, that is generous, said Mr. Farebrother, compelling himself to -approve of the man whom he disliked. His delicate feeling shrank from -dwelling even in his thought on the fact that he had always urged -Lydgate to avoid any personal entanglement with Bulstrode. He added -immediately, And Bulstrode must naturally feel an interest in your -welfare, after you have worked with him in a way which has probably -reduced your income instead of adding to it. I am glad to think that he -has acted accordingly. - -Lydgate felt uncomfortable under these kindly suppositions. They made -more distinct within him the uneasy consciousness which had shown its -first dim stirrings only a few hours before, that Bulstrodes motives -for his sudden beneficence following close upon the chillest -indifference might be merely selfish. He let the kindly suppositions -pass. He could not tell the history of the loan, but it was more -vividly present with him than ever, as well as the fact which the Vicar -delicately ignoredthat this relation of personal indebtedness to -Bulstrode was what he had once been most resolved to avoid. - -He began, instead of answering, to speak of his projected economies, -and of his having come to look at his life from a different point of -view. - -I shall set up a surgery, he said. I really think I made a mistaken -effort in that respect. And if Rosamond will not mind, I shall take an -apprentice. I dont like these things, but if one carries them out -faithfully they are not really lowering. I have had a severe galling to -begin with: that will make the small rubs seem easy. - -Poor Lydgate! the if Rosamond will not mind, which had fallen from -him involuntarily as part of his thought, was a significant mark of the -yoke he bore. But Mr. Farebrother, whose hopes entered strongly into -the same current with Lydgates, and who knew nothing about him that -could now raise a melancholy presentiment, left him with affectionate -congratulation. - - - - -CHAPTER LXXI. - -_Clown_. . . . Twas in the Bunch of Grapes, where, indeed, -you have a delight to sit, have you not? -_Froth_. I have so: because it is an open room, and good for winter. -_Clo_. Why, very well then: I hope here be truths. -_Measure for Measure_. - - -Five days after the death of Raffles, Mr. Bambridge was standing at his -leisure under the large archway leading into the yard of the Green -Dragon. He was not fond of solitary contemplation, but he had only just -come out of the house, and any human figure standing at ease under the -archway in the early afternoon was as certain to attract companionship -as a pigeon which has found something worth pecking at. In this case -there was no material object to feed upon, but the eye of reason saw a -probability of mental sustenance in the shape of gossip. Mr. Hopkins, -the meek-mannered draper opposite, was the first to act on this inward -vision, being the more ambitious of a little masculine talk because his -customers were chiefly women. Mr. Bambridge was rather curt to the -draper, feeling that Hopkins was of course glad to talk to _him_, but -that he was not going to waste much of his talk on Hopkins. Soon, -however, there was a small cluster of more important listeners, who -were either deposited from the passers-by, or had sauntered to the spot -expressly to see if there were anything going on at the Green Dragon; -and Mr. Bambridge was finding it worth his while to say many impressive -things about the fine studs he had been seeing and the purchases he had -made on a journey in the north from which he had just returned. -Gentlemen present were assured that when they could show him anything -to cut out a blood mare, a bay, rising four, which was to be seen at -Doncaster if they chose to go and look at it, Mr. Bambridge would -gratify them by being shot from here to Hereford. Also, a pair of -blacks which he was going to put into the break recalled vividly to his -mind a pair which he had sold to Faulkner in 19, for a hundred -guineas, and which Faulkner had sold for a hundred and sixty two months -laterany gent who could disprove this statement being offered the -privilege of calling Mr. Bambridge by a very ugly name until the -exercise made his throat dry. - -When the discourse was at this point of animation, came up Mr. Frank -Hawley. He was not a man to compromise his dignity by lounging at the -Green Dragon, but happening to pass along the High Street and seeing -Bambridge on the other side, he took some of his long strides across to -ask the horsedealer whether he had found the first-rate gig-horse which -he had engaged to look for. Mr. Hawley was requested to wait until he -had seen a gray selected at Bilkley: if that did not meet his wishes to -a hair, Bambridge did not know a horse when he saw it, which seemed to -be the highest conceivable unlikelihood. Mr. Hawley, standing with his -back to the street, was fixing a time for looking at the gray and -seeing it tried, when a horseman passed slowly by. - -Bulstrode! said two or three voices at once in a low tone, one of -them, which was the drapers, respectfully prefixing the Mr.; but -nobody having more intention in this interjectural naming than if they -had said the Riverston coach when that vehicle appeared in the -distance. Mr. Hawley gave a careless glance round at Bulstrodes back, -but as Bambridges eyes followed it he made a sarcastic grimace. - -By jingo! that reminds me, he began, lowering his voice a little, I -picked up something else at Bilkley besides your gig-horse, Mr. Hawley. -I picked up a fine story about Bulstrode. Do you know how he came by -his fortune? Any gentleman wanting a bit of curious information, I can -give it him free of expense. If everybody got their deserts, Bulstrode -might have had to say his prayers at Botany Bay. - -What do you mean? said Mr. Hawley, thrusting his hands into his -pockets, and pushing a little forward under the archway. If Bulstrode -should turn out to be a rascal, Frank Hawley had a prophetic soul. - -I had it from a party who was an old chum of Bulstrodes. Ill tell -you where I first picked him up, said Bambridge, with a sudden gesture -of his fore-finger. He was at Larchers sale, but I knew nothing of -him thenhe slipped through my fingerswas after Bulstrode, no doubt. -He tells me he can tap Bulstrode to any amount, knows all his secrets. -However, he blabbed to me at Bilkley: he takes a stiff glass. Damme if -I think he meant to turn kings evidence; but hes that sort of -bragging fellow, the bragging runs over hedge and ditch with him, till -hed brag of a spavin as if it ud fetch money. A man should know when -to pull up. Mr. Bambridge made this remark with an air of disgust, -satisfied that his own bragging showed a fine sense of the marketable. - -Whats the mans name? Where can he be found? said Mr. Hawley. - -As to where he is to be found, I left him to it at the Saracens Head; -but his name is Raffles. - -Raffles! exclaimed Mr. Hopkins. I furnished his funeral yesterday. -He was buried at Lowick. Mr. Bulstrode followed him. A very decent -funeral. There was a strong sensation among the listeners. Mr. -Bambridge gave an ejaculation in which brimstone was the mildest -word, and Mr. Hawley, knitting his brows and bending his head forward, -exclaimed, What?where did the man die? - -At Stone Court, said the draper. The housekeeper said he was a -relation of the masters. He came there ill on Friday. - -Why, it was on Wednesday I took a glass with him, interposed -Bambridge. - -Did any doctor attend him? said Mr. Hawley - -Yes. Mr. Lydgate. Mr. Bulstrode sat up with him one night. He died the -third morning. - -Go on, Bambridge, said Mr. Hawley, insistently. What did this fellow -say about Bulstrode? - -The group had already become larger, the town-clerks presence being a -guarantee that something worth listening to was going on there; and Mr. -Bambridge delivered his narrative in the hearing of seven. It was -mainly what we know, including the fact about Will Ladislaw, with some -local color and circumstance added: it was what Bulstrode had dreaded -the betrayal ofand hoped to have buried forever with the corpse of -Rafflesit was that haunting ghost of his earlier life which as he rode -past the archway of the Green Dragon he was trusting that Providence -had delivered him from. Yes, Providence. He had not confessed to -himself yet that he had done anything in the way of contrivance to this -end; he had accepted what seemed to have been offered. It was -impossible to prove that he had done anything which hastened the -departure of that mans soul. - -But this gossip about Bulstrode spread through Middlemarch like the -smell of fire. Mr. Frank Hawley followed up his information by sending -a clerk whom he could trust to Stone Court on a pretext of inquiring -about hay, but really to gather all that could be learned about Raffles -and his illness from Mrs. Abel. In this way it came to his knowledge -that Mr. Garth had carried the man to Stone Court in his gig; and Mr. -Hawley in consequence took an opportunity of seeing Caleb, calling at -his office to ask whether he had time to undertake an arbitration if it -were required, and then asking him incidentally about Raffles. Caleb -was betrayed into no word injurious to Bulstrode beyond the fact which -he was forced to admit, that he had given up acting for him within the -last week. Mr Hawley drew his inferences, and feeling convinced that -Raffles had told his story to Garth, and that Garth had given up -Bulstrodes affairs in consequence, said so a few hours later to Mr. -Toller. The statement was passed on until it had quite lost the stamp -of an inference, and was taken as information coming straight from -Garth, so that even a diligent historian might have concluded Caleb to -be the chief publisher of Bulstrodes misdemeanors. - -Mr. Hawley was not slow to perceive that there was no handle for the -law either in the revelations made by Raffles or in the circumstances -of his death. He had himself ridden to Lowick village that he might -look at the register and talk over the whole matter with Mr. -Farebrother, who was not more surprised than the lawyer that an ugly -secret should have come to light about Bulstrode, though he had always -had justice enough in him to hinder his antipathy from turning into -conclusions. But while they were talking another combination was -silently going forward in Mr. Farebrothers mind, which foreshadowed -what was soon to be loudly spoken of in Middlemarch as a necessary -putting of two and two together. With the reasons which kept -Bulstrode in dread of Raffles there flashed the thought that the dread -might have something to do with his munificence towards his medical -man; and though he resisted the suggestion that it had been consciously -accepted in any way as a bribe, he had a foreboding that this -complication of things might be of malignant effect on Lydgates -reputation. He perceived that Mr. Hawley knew nothing at present of the -sudden relief from debt, and he himself was careful to glide away from -all approaches towards the subject. - -Well, he said, with a deep breath, wanting to wind up the illimitable -discussion of what might have been, though nothing could be legally -proven, it is a strange story. So our mercurial Ladislaw has a queer -genealogy! A high-spirited young lady and a musical Polish patriot made -a likely enough stock for him to spring from, but I should never have -suspected a grafting of the Jew pawnbroker. However, theres no knowing -what a mixture will turn out beforehand. Some sorts of dirt serve to -clarify. - -Its just what I should have expected, said Mr. Hawley, mounting his -horse. Any cursed alien blood, Jew, Corsican, or Gypsy. - -I know hes one of your black sheep, Hawley. But he is really a -disinterested, unworldly fellow, said Mr. Farebrother, smiling. - -Ay, ay, that is your Whiggish twist, said Mr. Hawley, who had been in -the habit of saying apologetically that Farebrother was such a damned -pleasant good-hearted fellow you would mistake him for a Tory. - -Mr. Hawley rode home without thinking of Lydgates attendance on -Raffles in any other light than as a piece of evidence on the side of -Bulstrode. But the news that Lydgate had all at once become able not -only to get rid of the execution in his house but to pay all his debts -in Middlemarch was spreading fast, gathering round it conjectures and -comments which gave it new body and impetus, and soon filling the ears -of other persons besides Mr. Hawley, who were not slow to see a -significant relation between this sudden command of money and -Bulstrodes desire to stifle the scandal of Raffles. That the money -came from Bulstrode would infallibly have been guessed even if there -had been no direct evidence of it; for it had beforehand entered into -the gossip about Lydgates affairs, that neither his father-in-law nor -his own family would do anything for him, and direct evidence was -furnished not only by a clerk at the Bank, but by innocent Mrs. -Bulstrode herself, who mentioned the loan to Mrs. Plymdale, who -mentioned it to her daughter-in-law of the house of Toller, who -mentioned it generally. The business was felt to be so public and -important that it required dinners to feed it, and many invitations -were just then issued and accepted on the strength of this scandal -concerning Bulstrode and Lydgate; wives, widows, and single ladies took -their work and went out to tea oftener than usual; and all public -conviviality, from the Green Dragon to Dollops, gathered a zest which -could not be won from the question whether the Lords would throw out -the Reform Bill. - -For hardly anybody doubted that some scandalous reason or other was at -the bottom of Bulstrodes liberality to Lydgate. Mr. Hawley indeed, in -the first instance, invited a select party, including the two -physicians, with Mr Toller and Mr. Wrench, expressly to hold a close -discussion as to the probabilities of Raffless illness, reciting to -them all the particulars which had been gathered from Mrs. Abel in -connection with Lydgates certificate, that the death was due to -delirium tremens; and the medical gentlemen, who all stood -undisturbedly on the old paths in relation to this disease, declared -that they could see nothing in these particulars which could be -transformed into a positive ground of suspicion. But the moral grounds -of suspicion remained: the strong motives Bulstrode clearly had for -wishing to be rid of Raffles, and the fact that at this critical moment -he had given Lydgate the help which he must for some time have known -the need for; the disposition, moreover, to believe that Bulstrode -would be unscrupulous, and the absence of any indisposition to believe -that Lydgate might be as easily bribed as other haughty-minded men when -they have found themselves in want of money. Even if the money had been -given merely to make him hold his tongue about the scandal of -Bulstrodes earlier life, the fact threw an odious light on Lydgate, -who had long been sneered at as making himself subservient to the -banker for the sake of working himself into predominance, and -discrediting the elder members of his profession. Hence, in spite of -the negative as to any direct sign of guilt in relation to the death at -Stone Court, Mr. Hawleys select party broke up with the sense that the -affair had an ugly look. - -But this vague conviction of indeterminable guilt, which was enough to -keep up much head-shaking and biting innuendo even among substantial -professional seniors, had for the general mind all the superior power -of mystery over fact. Everybody liked better to conjecture how the -thing was, than simply to know it; for conjecture soon became more -confident than knowledge, and had a more liberal allowance for the -incompatible. Even the more definite scandal concerning Bulstrodes -earlier life was, for some minds, melted into the mass of mystery, as -so much lively metal to be poured out in dialogue, and to take such -fantastic shapes as heaven pleased. - -This was the tone of thought chiefly sanctioned by Mrs. Dollop, the -spirited landlady of the Tankard in Slaughter Lane, who had often to -resist the shallow pragmatism of customers disposed to think that their -reports from the outer world were of equal force with what had come -up in her mind. How it had been brought to her she didnt know, but it -was there before her as if it had been scored with the chalk on the -chimney-board as Bulstrode should say, his inside was _that black_ -as if the hairs of his head knowed the thoughts of his heart, hed tear -em up by the roots. - -Thats odd, said Mr. Limp, a meditative shoemaker, with weak eyes and -a piping voice. Why, I read in the Trumpet that was what the Duke of -Wellington said when he turned his coat and went over to the Romans. - -Very like, said Mrs. Dollop. If one raskill said it, its more -reason why another should. But hypo_crite_ as hes been, and holding -things with that high hand, as there was no parson i the country good -enough for him, he was forced to take Old Harry into his counsel, and -Old Harrys been too many for him. - -Ay, ay, hes a complice you cant send out o the country, said Mr. -Crabbe, the glazier, who gathered much news and groped among it dimly. -But by what I can make out, theres them says Bulstrode was for -running away, for fear o being found out, before now. - -Hell be drove away, whether or no, said Mr. Dill, the barber, who -had just dropped in. I shaved Fletcher, Hawleys clerk, this -morninghes got a bad fingerand he says theyre all of one mind to -get rid of Bulstrode. Mr. Thesiger is turned against him, and wants him -out o the parish. And theres gentlemen in this town says theyd as -soon dine with a fellow from the hulks. And a deal sooner I would, -says Fletcher; for whats more against ones stomach than a man coming -and making himself bad company with his religion, and giving out as the -Ten Commandments are not enough for him, and all the while hes worse -than half the men at the tread-mill? Fletcher said so himself. - -Itll be a bad thing for the town though, if Bulstrodes money goes -out of it, said Mr. Limp, quaveringly. - -Ah, theres better folks spend their money worse, said a firm-voiced -dyer, whose crimson hands looked out of keeping with his good-natured +He haint been a sittin so all day, has he? said the landlady. + +But all we said, not a word could we drag out of him; I almost felt +like pushing him over, so as to change his position, for it was almost +intolerable, it seemed so painfully and unnaturally constrained; +especially, as in all probability he had been sitting so for upwards of +eight or ten hours, going too without his regular meals. + +Mrs. Hussey, said I, hes _alive_ at all events; so leave us, if you +please, and I will see to this strange affair myself. + +Closing the door upon the landlady, I endeavored to prevail upon +Queequeg to take a chair; but in vain. There he sat; and all he could +dofor all my polite arts and blandishmentshe would not move a peg, +nor say a single word, nor even look at me, nor notice my presence in +the slightest way. + +I wonder, thought I, if this can possibly be a part of his Ramadan; do +they fast on their hams that way in his native island. It must be so; +yes, its part of his creed, I suppose; well, then, let him rest; hell +get up sooner or later, no doubt. It cant last for ever, thank God, +and his Ramadan only comes once a year; and I dont believe its very +punctual then. + +I went down to supper. After sitting a long time listening to the long +stories of some sailors who had just come from a plum-pudding voyage, +as they called it (that is, a short whaling-voyage in a schooner or +brig, confined to the north of the line, in the Atlantic Ocean only); +after listening to these plum-puddingers till nearly eleven oclock, I +went up stairs to go to bed, feeling quite sure by this time Queequeg +must certainly have brought his Ramadan to a termination. But no; there +he was just where I had left him; he had not stirred an inch. I began +to grow vexed with him; it seemed so downright senseless and insane to +be sitting there all day and half the night on his hams in a cold room, +holding a piece of wood on his head. + +For heavens sake, Queequeg, get up and shake yourself; get up and +have some supper. Youll starve; youll kill yourself, Queequeg. But +not a word did he reply. + +Despairing of him, therefore, I determined to go to bed and to sleep; +and no doubt, before a great while, he would follow me. But previous to +turning in, I took my heavy bearskin jacket, and threw it over him, as +it promised to be a very cold night; and he had nothing but his +ordinary round jacket on. For some time, do all I would, I could not +get into the faintest doze. I had blown out the candle; and the mere +thought of Queequegnot four feet offsitting there in that uneasy +position, stark alone in the cold and dark; this made me really +wretched. Think of it; sleeping all night in the same room with a wide +awake pagan on his hams in this dreary, unaccountable Ramadan! + +But somehow I dropped off at last, and knew nothing more till break of +day; when, looking over the bedside, there squatted Queequeg, as if he +had been screwed down to the floor. But as soon as the first glimpse of +sun entered the window, up he got, with stiff and grating joints, but +with a cheerful look; limped towards me where I lay; pressed his +forehead again against mine; and said his Ramadan was over. + +Now, as I before hinted, I have no objection to any persons religion, +be it what it may, so long as that person does not kill or insult any +other person, because that other person dont believe it also. But when +a mans religion becomes really frantic; when it is a positive torment +to him; and, in fine, makes this earth of ours an uncomfortable inn to +lodge in; then I think it high time to take that individual aside and +argue the point with him. + +And just so I now did with Queequeg. Queequeg, said I, get into bed +now, and lie and listen to me. I then went on, beginning with the rise +and progress of the primitive religions, and coming down to the various +religions of the present time, during which time I labored to show +Queequeg that all these Lents, Ramadans, and prolonged ham-squattings +in cold, cheerless rooms were stark nonsense; bad for the health; +useless for the soul; opposed, in short, to the obvious laws of Hygiene +and common sense. I told him, too, that he being in other things such +an extremely sensible and sagacious savage, it pained me, very badly +pained me, to see him now so deplorably foolish about this ridiculous +Ramadan of his. Besides, argued I, fasting makes the body cave in; +hence the spirit caves in; and all thoughts born of a fast must +necessarily be half-starved. This is the reason why most dyspeptic +religionists cherish such melancholy notions about their hereafters. In +one word, Queequeg, said I, rather digressively; hell is an idea first +born on an undigested apple-dumpling; and since then perpetuated +through the hereditary dyspepsias nurtured by Ramadans. + +I then asked Queequeg whether he himself was ever troubled with +dyspepsia; expressing the idea very plainly, so that he could take it +in. He said no; only upon one memorable occasion. It was after a great +feast given by his father the king, on the gaining of a great battle +wherein fifty of the enemy had been killed by about two oclock in the +afternoon, and all cooked and eaten that very evening. + +No more, Queequeg, said I, shuddering; that will do; for I knew the +inferences without his further hinting them. I had seen a sailor who +had visited that very island, and he told me that it was the custom, +when a great battle had been gained there, to barbecue all the slain in +the yard or garden of the victor; and then, one by one, they were +placed in great wooden trenchers, and garnished round like a pilau, +with breadfruit and cocoanuts; and with some parsley in their mouths, +were sent round with the victors compliments to all his friends, just +as though these presents were so many Christmas turkeys. + +After all, I do not think that my remarks about religion made much +impression upon Queequeg. Because, in the first place, he somehow +seemed dull of hearing on that important subject, unless considered +from his own point of view; and, in the second place, he did not more +than one third understand me, couch my ideas simply as I would; and, +finally, he no doubt thought he knew a good deal more about the true +religion than I did. He looked at me with a sort of condescending +concern and compassion, as though he thought it a great pity that such +a sensible young man should be so hopelessly lost to evangelical pagan +piety. + +At last we rose and dressed; and Queequeg, taking a prodigiously hearty +breakfast of chowders of all sorts, so that the landlady should not +make much profit by reason of his Ramadan, we sallied out to board the +Pequod, sauntering along, and picking our teeth with halibut bones. + + +CHAPTER 18. His Mark. + +As we were walking down the end of the wharf towards the ship, Queequeg +carrying his harpoon, Captain Peleg in his gruff voice loudly hailed us +from his wigwam, saying he had not suspected my friend was a cannibal, +and furthermore announcing that he let no cannibals on board that +craft, unless they previously produced their papers. + +What do you mean by that, Captain Peleg? said I, now jumping on the +bulwarks, and leaving my comrade standing on the wharf. + +I mean, he replied, he must show his papers. + +Yes, said Captain Bildad in his hollow voice, sticking his head from +behind Pelegs, out of the wigwam. He must show that hes converted. +Son of darkness, he added, turning to Queequeg, art thou at present +in communion with any Christian church? + +Why, said I, hes a member of the first Congregational Church. Here +be it said, that many tattooed savages sailing in Nantucket ships at +last come to be converted into the churches. + +First Congregational Church, cried Bildad, what! that worships in +Deacon Deuteronomy Colemans meeting-house? and so saying, taking out +his spectacles, he rubbed them with his great yellow bandana +handkerchief, and putting them on very carefully, came out of the +wigwam, and leaning stiffly over the bulwarks, took a good long look at +Queequeg. + +How long hath he been a member? he then said, turning to me; not +very long, I rather guess, young man. + +No, said Peleg, and he hasnt been baptized right either, or it +would have washed some of that devils blue off his face. + +Do tell, now, cried Bildad, is this Philistine a regular member of +Deacon Deuteronomys meeting? I never saw him going there, and I pass +it every Lords day. + +I dont know anything about Deacon Deuteronomy or his meeting, said +I; all I know is, that Queequeg here is a born member of the First +Congregational Church. He is a deacon himself, Queequeg is. + +Young man, said Bildad sternly, thou art skylarking with meexplain +thyself, thou young Hittite. What church dost thee mean? answer me. + +Finding myself thus hard pushed, I replied. I mean, sir, the same +ancient Catholic Church to which you and I, and Captain Peleg there, +and Queequeg here, and all of us, and every mothers son and soul of us +belong; the great and everlasting First Congregation of this whole +worshipping world; we all belong to that; only some of us cherish some +queer crotchets no ways touching the grand belief; in _that_ we all +join hands. + +Splice, thou meanst _splice_ hands, cried Peleg, drawing nearer. +Young man, youd better ship for a missionary, instead of a fore-mast +hand; I never heard a better sermon. Deacon Deuteronomywhy Father +Mapple himself couldnt beat it, and hes reckoned something. Come +aboard, come aboard; never mind about the papers. I say, tell Quohog +therewhats that you call him? tell Quohog to step along. By the great +anchor, what a harpoon hes got there! looks like good stuff that; and +he handles it about right. I say, Quohog, or whatever your name is, did +you ever stand in the head of a whale-boat? did you ever strike a +fish? + +Without saying a word, Queequeg, in his wild sort of way, jumped upon +the bulwarks, from thence into the bows of one of the whale-boats +hanging to the side; and then bracing his left knee, and poising his +harpoon, cried out in some such way as this: + +Capain, you see him small drop tar on water dere? You see him? well, +spose him one whale eye, well, den! and taking sharp aim at it, he +darted the iron right over old Bildads broad brim, clean across the +ships decks, and struck the glistening tar spot out of sight. + +Now, said Queequeg, quietly hauling in the line, spos-ee him whale-e +eye; why, dad whale dead. + +Quick, Bildad, said Peleg, his partner, who, aghast at the close +vicinity of the flying harpoon, had retreated towards the cabin +gangway. Quick, I say, you Bildad, and get the ships papers. We must +have Hedgehog there, I mean Quohog, in one of our boats. Look ye, +Quohog, well give ye the ninetieth lay, and thats more than ever was +given a harpooneer yet out of Nantucket. + +So down we went into the cabin, and to my great joy Queequeg was soon +enrolled among the same ships company to which I myself belonged. + +When all preliminaries were over and Peleg had got everything ready for +signing, he turned to me and said, I guess, Quohog there dont know +how to write, does he? I say, Quohog, blast ye! dost thou sign thy name +or make thy mark? + +But at this question, Queequeg, who had twice or thrice before taken +part in similar ceremonies, looked no ways abashed; but taking the +offered pen, copied upon the paper, in the proper place, an exact +counterpart of a queer round figure which was tattooed upon his arm; so +that through Captain Pelegs obstinate mistake touching his +appellative, it stood something like this: + +Quohog. his X mark. + +Meanwhile Captain Bildad sat earnestly and steadfastly eyeing Queequeg, +and at last rising solemnly and fumbling in the huge pockets of his +broad-skirted drab coat, took out a bundle of tracts, and selecting one +entitled The Latter Day Coming; or No Time to Lose, placed it in +Queequegs hands, and then grasping them and the book with both his, +looked earnestly into his eyes, and said, Son of darkness, I must do +my duty by thee; I am part owner of this ship, and feel concerned for +the souls of all its crew; if thou still clingest to thy Pagan ways, +which I sadly fear, I beseech thee, remain not for aye a Belial +bondsman. Spurn the idol Bell, and the hideous dragon; turn from the +wrath to come; mind thine eye, I say; oh! goodness gracious! steer +clear of the fiery pit! + +Something of the salt sea yet lingered in old Bildads language, +heterogeneously mixed with Scriptural and domestic phrases. + +Avast there, avast there, Bildad, avast now spoiling our harpooneer, +cried Peleg. Pious harpooneers never make good voyagersit takes the +shark out of em; no harpooneer is worth a straw who aint pretty +sharkish. There was young Nat Swaine, once the bravest boat-header out +of all Nantucket and the Vineyard; he joined the meeting, and never +came to good. He got so frightened about his plaguy soul, that he +shrinked and sheered away from whales, for fear of after-claps, in case +he got stove and went to Davy Jones. + +Peleg! Peleg! said Bildad, lifting his eyes and hands, thou thyself, +as I myself, hast seen many a perilous time; thou knowest, Peleg, what +it is to have the fear of death; how, then, canst thou prate in this +ungodly guise. Thou beliest thine own heart, Peleg. Tell me, when this +same Pequod here had her three masts overboard in that typhoon on +Japan, that same voyage when thou went mate with Captain Ahab, didst +thou not think of Death and the Judgment then? + +Hear him, hear him now, cried Peleg, marching across the cabin, and +thrusting his hands far down into his pockets,hear him, all of ye. +Think of that! When every moment we thought the ship would sink! Death +and the Judgment then? What? With all three masts making such an +everlasting thundering against the side; and every sea breaking over +us, fore and aft. Think of Death and the Judgment then? No! no time to +think about Death then. Life was what Captain Ahab and I was thinking +of; and how to save all handshow to rig jury-mastshow to get into the +nearest port; that was what I was thinking of. + +Bildad said no more, but buttoning up his coat, stalked on deck, where +we followed him. There he stood, very quietly overlooking some +sailmakers who were mending a top-sail in the waist. Now and then he +stooped to pick up a patch, or save an end of tarred twine, which +otherwise might have been wasted. + + +CHAPTER 19. The Prophet. + +Shipmates, have ye shipped in that ship? + +Queequeg and I had just left the Pequod, and were sauntering away from +the water, for the moment each occupied with his own thoughts, when the +above words were put to us by a stranger, who, pausing before us, +levelled his massive forefinger at the vessel in question. He was but +shabbily apparelled in faded jacket and patched trowsers; a rag of a +black handkerchief investing his neck. A confluent small-pox had in all +directions flowed over his face, and left it like the complicated +ribbed bed of a torrent, when the rushing waters have been dried up. + +Have ye shipped in her? he repeated. + +You mean the ship Pequod, I suppose, said I, trying to gain a little +more time for an uninterrupted look at him. + +Aye, the Pequodthat ship there, he said, drawing back his whole arm, +and then rapidly shoving it straight out from him, with the fixed +bayonet of his pointed finger darted full at the object. + +Yes, said I, we have just signed the articles. + +Anything down there about your souls? + +About what? + +Oh, perhaps you havnt got any, he said quickly. No matter though, +I know many chaps that havnt got any,good luck to em; and they are +all the better off for it. A souls a sort of a fifth wheel to a +wagon. + +What are you jabbering about, shipmate? said I. + +_Hes_ got enough, though, to make up for all deficiencies of that +sort in other chaps, abruptly said the stranger, placing a nervous +emphasis upon the word _he_. + +Queequeg, said I, lets go; this fellow has broken loose from +somewhere; hes talking about something and somebody we dont know. + +Stop! cried the stranger. Ye said trueye havnt seen Old Thunder +yet, have ye? + +Whos Old Thunder? said I, again riveted with the insane earnestness +of his manner. + +Captain Ahab. + +What! the captain of our ship, the Pequod? + +Aye, among some of us old sailor chaps, he goes by that name. Ye +havnt seen him yet, have ye? + +No, we havnt. Hes sick they say, but is getting better, and will be +all right again before long. + +All right again before long! laughed the stranger, with a solemnly +derisive sort of laugh. Look ye; when Captain Ahab is all right, then +this left arm of mine will be all right; not before. + +What do you know about him? + +What did they _tell_ you about him? Say that! + +They didnt tell much of anything about him; only Ive heard that hes +a good whale-hunter, and a good captain to his crew. + +Thats true, thats trueyes, both true enough. But you must jump when +he gives an order. Step and growl; growl and gothats the word with +Captain Ahab. But nothing about that thing that happened to him off +Cape Horn, long ago, when he lay like dead for three days and nights; +nothing about that deadly skrimmage with the Spaniard afore the altar +in Santa?heard nothing about that, eh? Nothing about the silver +calabash he spat into? And nothing about his losing his leg last +voyage, according to the prophecy. Didnt ye hear a word about them +matters and something more, eh? No, I dont think ye did; how could ye? +Who knows it? Not all Nantucket, I guess. But howsever, mayhap, yeve +heard tell about the leg, and how he lost it; aye, ye have heard of +that, I dare say. Oh yes, _that_ every one knows amostI mean they +know hes only one leg; and that a parmacetti took the other off. + +My friend, said I, what all this gibberish of yours is about, I +dont know, and I dont much care; for it seems to me that you must be +a little damaged in the head. But if you are speaking of Captain Ahab, +of that ship there, the Pequod, then let me tell you, that I know all +about the loss of his leg. + +_All_ about it, ehsure you do?all? + +Pretty sure. + +With finger pointed and eye levelled at the Pequod, the beggar-like +stranger stood a moment, as if in a troubled reverie; then starting a +little, turned and said:Yeve shipped, have ye? Names down on the +papers? Well, well, whats signed, is signed; and whats to be, will +be; and then again, perhaps it wont be, after all. Anyhow, its all +fixed and arranged aready; and some sailors or other must go with him, +I suppose; as well these as any other men, God pity em! Morning to ye, +shipmates, morning; the ineffable heavens bless ye; Im sorry I stopped +ye. + +Look here, friend, said I, if you have anything important to tell +us, out with it; but if you are only trying to bamboozle us, you are +mistaken in your game; thats all I have to say. + +And its said very well, and I like to hear a chap talk up that way; +you are just the man for himthe likes of ye. Morning to ye, shipmates, +morning! Oh! when ye get there, tell em Ive concluded not to make one +of em. + +Ah, my dear fellow, you cant fool us that wayyou cant fool us. It +is the easiest thing in the world for a man to look as if he had a +great secret in him. + +Morning to ye, shipmates, morning. + +Morning it is, said I. Come along, Queequeg, lets leave this crazy +man. But stop, tell me your name, will you? + +Elijah. + +Elijah! thought I, and we walked away, both commenting, after each +others fashion, upon this ragged old sailor; and agreed that he was +nothing but a humbug, trying to be a bugbear. But we had not gone +perhaps above a hundred yards, when chancing to turn a corner, and +looking back as I did so, who should be seen but Elijah following us, +though at a distance. Somehow, the sight of him struck me so, that I +said nothing to Queequeg of his being behind, but passed on with my +comrade, anxious to see whether the stranger would turn the same corner +that we did. He did; and then it seemed to me that he was dogging us, +but with what intent I could not for the life of me imagine. This +circumstance, coupled with his ambiguous, half-hinting, half-revealing, +shrouded sort of talk, now begat in me all kinds of vague wonderments +and half-apprehensions, and all connected with the Pequod; and Captain +Ahab; and the leg he had lost; and the Cape Horn fit; and the silver +calabash; and what Captain Peleg had said of him, when I left the ship +the day previous; and the prediction of the squaw Tistig; and the +voyage we had bound ourselves to sail; and a hundred other shadowy +things. + +I was resolved to satisfy myself whether this ragged Elijah was really +dogging us or not, and with that intent crossed the way with Queequeg, +and on that side of it retraced our steps. But Elijah passed on, +without seeming to notice us. This relieved me; and once more, and +finally as it seemed to me, I pronounced him in my heart, a humbug. + + +CHAPTER 20. All Astir. + +A day or two passed, and there was great activity aboard the Pequod. +Not only were the old sails being mended, but new sails were coming on +board, and bolts of canvas, and coils of rigging; in short, everything +betokened that the ships preparations were hurrying to a close. +Captain Peleg seldom or never went ashore, but sat in his wigwam +keeping a sharp look-out upon the hands: Bildad did all the purchasing +and providing at the stores; and the men employed in the hold and on +the rigging were working till long after night-fall. + +On the day following Queequegs signing the articles, word was given at +all the inns where the ships company were stopping, that their chests +must be on board before night, for there was no telling how soon the +vessel might be sailing. So Queequeg and I got down our traps, +resolving, however, to sleep ashore till the last. But it seems they +always give very long notice in these cases, and the ship did not sail +for several days. But no wonder; there was a good deal to be done, and +there is no telling how many things to be thought of, before the Pequod +was fully equipped. + +Every one knows what a multitude of thingsbeds, sauce-pans, knives and +forks, shovels and tongs, napkins, nut-crackers, and what not, are +indispensable to the business of housekeeping. Just so with whaling, +which necessitates a three-years housekeeping upon the wide ocean, far +from all grocers, costermongers, doctors, bakers, and bankers. And +though this also holds true of merchant vessels, yet not by any means +to the same extent as with whalemen. For besides the great length of +the whaling voyage, the numerous articles peculiar to the prosecution +of the fishery, and the impossibility of replacing them at the remote +harbors usually frequented, it must be remembered, that of all ships, +whaling vessels are the most exposed to accidents of all kinds, and +especially to the destruction and loss of the very things upon which +the success of the voyage most depends. Hence, the spare boats, spare +spars, and spare lines and harpoons, and spare everythings, almost, but +a spare Captain and duplicate ship. + +At the period of our arrival at the Island, the heaviest storage of the +Pequod had been almost completed; comprising her beef, bread, water, +fuel, and iron hoops and staves. But, as before hinted, for some time +there was a continual fetching and carrying on board of divers odds and +ends of things, both large and small. + +Chief among those who did this fetching and carrying was Captain +Bildads sister, a lean old lady of a most determined and indefatigable +spirit, but withal very kindhearted, who seemed resolved that, if _she_ +could help it, nothing should be found wanting in the Pequod, after +once fairly getting to sea. At one time she would come on board with a +jar of pickles for the stewards pantry; another time with a bunch of +quills for the chief mates desk, where he kept his log; a third time +with a roll of flannel for the small of some ones rheumatic back. +Never did any woman better deserve her name, which was CharityAunt +Charity, as everybody called her. And like a sister of charity did this +charitable Aunt Charity bustle about hither and thither, ready to turn +her hand and heart to anything that promised to yield safety, comfort, +and consolation to all on board a ship in which her beloved brother +Bildad was concerned, and in which she herself owned a score or two of +well-saved dollars. + +But it was startling to see this excellent hearted Quakeress coming on +board, as she did the last day, with a long oil-ladle in one hand, and +a still longer whaling lance in the other. Nor was Bildad himself nor +Captain Peleg at all backward. As for Bildad, he carried about with him +a long list of the articles needed, and at every fresh arrival, down +went his mark opposite that article upon the paper. Every once in a +while Peleg came hobbling out of his whalebone den, roaring at the men +down the hatchways, roaring up to the riggers at the mast-head, and +then concluded by roaring back into his wigwam. + +During these days of preparation, Queequeg and I often visited the +craft, and as often I asked about Captain Ahab, and how he was, and +when he was going to come on board his ship. To these questions they +would answer, that he was getting better and better, and was expected +aboard every day; meantime, the two captains, Peleg and Bildad, could +attend to everything necessary to fit the vessel for the voyage. If I +had been downright honest with myself, I would have seen very plainly +in my heart that I did but half fancy being committed this way to so +long a voyage, without once laying my eyes on the man who was to be the +absolute dictator of it, so soon as the ship sailed out upon the open +sea. But when a man suspects any wrong, it sometimes happens that if he +be already involved in the matter, he insensibly strives to cover up +his suspicions even from himself. And much this way it was with me. I +said nothing, and tried to think nothing. + +At last it was given out that some time next day the ship would +certainly sail. So next morning, Queequeg and I took a very early +start. + + +CHAPTER 21. Going Aboard. + +It was nearly six oclock, but only grey imperfect misty dawn, when we +drew nigh the wharf. + +There are some sailors running ahead there, if I see right, said I to +Queequeg, it cant be shadows; shes off by sunrise, I guess; come +on! + +Avast! cried a voice, whose owner at the same time coming close +behind us, laid a hand upon both our shoulders, and then insinuating +himself between us, stood stooping forward a little, in the uncertain +twilight, strangely peering from Queequeg to me. It was Elijah. + +Going aboard? + +Hands off, will you, said I. + +Lookee here, said Queequeg, shaking himself, go way! + +Aint going aboard, then? + +Yes, we are, said I, but what business is that of yours? Do you +know, Mr. Elijah, that I consider you a little impertinent? + +No, no, no; I wasnt aware of that, said Elijah, slowly and +wonderingly looking from me to Queequeg, with the most unaccountable +glances. + +Elijah, said I, you will oblige my friend and me by withdrawing. We +are going to the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and would prefer not to be +detained. + +Ye be, be ye? Coming back afore breakfast? + +Hes cracked, Queequeg, said I, come on. + +Holloa! cried stationary Elijah, hailing us when we had removed a few +paces. + +Never mind him, said I, Queequeg, come on. + +But he stole up to us again, and suddenly clapping his hand on my +shoulder, saidDid ye see anything looking like men going towards that +ship a while ago? + +Struck by this plain matter-of-fact question, I answered, saying, Yes, +I thought I did see four or five men; but it was too dim to be sure. + +Very dim, very dim, said Elijah. Morning to ye. + +Once more we quitted him; but once more he came softly after us; and +touching my shoulder again, said, See if you can find em now, will +ye? + +Find who? + +Morning to ye! morning to ye! he rejoined, again moving off. Oh! I +was going to warn ye againstbut never mind, never mindits all one, +all in the family too;sharp frost this morning, aint it? Good-bye to +ye. Shant see ye again very soon, I guess; unless its before the +Grand Jury. And with these cracked words he finally departed, leaving +me, for the moment, in no small wonderment at his frantic impudence. + +At last, stepping on board the Pequod, we found everything in profound +quiet, not a soul moving. The cabin entrance was locked within; the +hatches were all on, and lumbered with coils of rigging. Going forward +to the forecastle, we found the slide of the scuttle open. Seeing a +light, we went down, and found only an old rigger there, wrapped in a +tattered pea-jacket. He was thrown at whole length upon two chests, his +face downwards and inclosed in his folded arms. The profoundest slumber +slept upon him. + +Those sailors we saw, Queequeg, where can they have gone to? said I, +looking dubiously at the sleeper. But it seemed that, when on the +wharf, Queequeg had not at all noticed what I now alluded to; hence I +would have thought myself to have been optically deceived in that +matter, were it not for Elijahs otherwise inexplicable question. But I +beat the thing down; and again marking the sleeper, jocularly hinted to +Queequeg that perhaps we had best sit up with the body; telling him to +establish himself accordingly. He put his hand upon the sleepers rear, +as though feeling if it was soft enough; and then, without more ado, +sat quietly down there. + +Gracious! Queequeg, dont sit there, said I. + +Oh! perry dood seat, said Queequeg, my country way; wont hurt him face. -But he wont keep his money, by what I can make out, said the -glazier. Dont they say as theres somebody can strip it off him? By -what I can understan, they could take every penny off him, if they -went to lawing. - -No such thing! said the barber, who felt himself a little above his -company at Dollops, but liked it none the worse. Fletcher says its -no such thing. He says they might prove over and over again whose child -this young Ladislaw was, and theyd do no more than if they proved I -came out of the Fenshe couldnt touch a penny. - -Look you there now! said Mrs. Dollop, indignantly. I thank the Lord -he took my children to Himself, if thats all the law can do for the -motherless. Then by that, its o no use who your father and mother is. -But as to listening to what one lawyer says without asking anotherI -wonder at a man o your cleverness, Mr. Dill. Its well known theres -always two sides, if no more; else whod go to law, I should like to -know? Its a poor tale, with all the law as there is up and down, if -its no use proving whose child you are. Fletcher may say that if he -likes, but I say, dont Fletcher _me_! - -Mr. Dill affected to laugh in a complimentary way at Mrs. Dollop, as a -woman who was more than a match for the lawyers; being disposed to -submit to much twitting from a landlady who had a long score against -him. - -If they come to lawing, and its all true as folks say, theres more -to be looked to nor money, said the glazier. Theres this poor -creetur as is dead and gone; by what I can make out, hed seen the day -when he was a deal finer gentleman nor Bulstrode. - -Finer gentleman! Ill warrant him, said Mrs. Dollop; and a far -personabler man, by what I can hear. As I said when Mr. Baldwin, the -tax-gatherer, comes in, a-standing where you sit, and says, Bulstrode -got all his money as he brought into this town by thieving and -swindling,I said, You dont make me no wiser, Mr. Baldwin: its set -my blood a-creeping to look at him ever sin here he came into -Slaughter Lane a-wanting to buy the house over my head: folks dont -look the color o the dough-tub and stare at you as if they wanted to -see into your backbone for nothingk. That was what I said, and Mr. -Baldwin can bear me witness. - -And in the rights of it too, said Mr. Crabbe. For by what I can make -out, this Raffles, as they call him, was a lusty, fresh-colored man as -youd wish to see, and the best o companythough dead he lies in -Lowick churchyard sure enough; and by what I can understan, theres -them knows more than they _should_ know about how he got there. - -Ill believe you! said Mrs. Dollop, with a touch of scorn at Mr. -Crabbes apparent dimness. When a mans been ticed to a lone house, -and theres them can pay for hospitals and nurses for half the -country-side choose to be sitters-up night and day, and nobody to come -near but a doctor as is known to stick at nothingk, and as poor as he -can hang together, and after that so flush o money as he can pay off -Mr. Byles the butcher as his bill has been running on for the best o -joints since last Michaelmas was a twelvemonthI dont want anybody to -come and tell me as theres been more going on nor the Prayer-books -got a service forI dont want to stand winking and blinking and -thinking. - -Mrs. Dollop looked round with the air of a landlady accustomed to -dominate her company. There was a chorus of adhesion from the more -courageous; but Mr. Limp, after taking a draught, placed his flat hands -together and pressed them hard between his knees, looking down at them -with blear-eyed contemplation, as if the scorching power of Mrs. -Dollops speech had quite dried up and nullified his wits until they -could be brought round again by further moisture. - -Why shouldnt they dig the man up and have the Crowner? said the -dyer. Its been done many and manys the time. If theres been foul -play they might find it out. - -Not they, Mr. Jonas! said Mrs Dollop, emphatically. I know what -doctors are. Theyre a deal too cunning to be found out. And this -Doctor Lydgate thats been for cutting up everybody before the breath -was well out o their bodyits plain enough what use he wanted to make -o looking into respectable peoples insides. He knows drugs, you may -be sure, as you can neither smell nor see, neither before theyre -swallowed nor after. Why, Ive seen drops myself ordered by Doctor -Gambit, as is our club doctor and a good charikter, and has brought -more live children into the world nor ever another i MiddlemarchI say -Ive seen drops myself as made no difference whether they was in the -glass or out, and yet have griped you the next day. So Ill leave your -own sense to judge. Dont tell me! All I say is, its a mercy they -didnt take this Doctor Lydgate on to our club. Theres many a mothers -child might ha rued it. - -The heads of this discussion at Dollops had been the common theme -among all classes in the town, had been carried to Lowick Parsonage on -one side and to Tipton Grange on the other, had come fully to the ears -of the Vincy family, and had been discussed with sad reference to poor -Harriet by all Mrs. Bulstrodes friends, before Lydgate knew -distinctly why people were looking strangely at him, and before -Bulstrode himself suspected the betrayal of his secrets. He had not -been accustomed to very cordial relations with his neighbors, and hence -he could not miss the signs of cordiality; moreover, he had been taking -journeys on business of various kinds, having now made up his mind that -he need not quit Middlemarch, and feeling able consequently to -determine on matters which he had before left in suspense. - -We will make a journey to Cheltenham in the course of a month or two, -he had said to his wife. There are great spiritual advantages to be -had in that town along with the air and the waters, and six weeks there -will be eminently refreshing to us. - -He really believed in the spiritual advantages, and meant that his life -henceforth should be the more devoted because of those later sins which -he represented to himself as hypothetic, praying hypothetically for -their pardon:if I have herein transgressed. - -As to the Hospital, he avoided saying anything further to Lydgate, -fearing to manifest a too sudden change of plans immediately on the -death of Raffles. In his secret soul he believed that Lydgate suspected -his orders to have been intentionally disobeyed, and suspecting this he -must also suspect a motive. But nothing had been betrayed to him as to -the history of Raffles, and Bulstrode was anxious not to do anything -which would give emphasis to his undefined suspicions. As to any -certainty that a particular method of treatment would either save or -kill, Lydgate himself was constantly arguing against such dogmatism; he -had no right to speak, and he had every motive for being silent. Hence -Bulstrode felt himself providentially secured. The only incident he had -strongly winced under had been an occasional encounter with Caleb -Garth, who, however, had raised his hat with mild gravity. - -Meanwhile, on the part of the principal townsmen a strong determination -was growing against him. - -A meeting was to be held in the Town-Hall on a sanitary question which -had risen into pressing importance by the occurrence of a cholera case -in the town. Since the Act of Parliament, which had been hurriedly -passed, authorizing assessments for sanitary measures, there had been a -Board for the superintendence of such measures appointed in -Middlemarch, and much cleansing and preparation had been concurred in -by Whigs and Tories. The question now was, whether a piece of ground -outside the town should be secured as a burial-ground by means of -assessment or by private subscription. The meeting was to be open, and -almost everybody of importance in the town was expected to be there. - -Mr. Bulstrode was a member of the Board, and just before twelve oclock -he started from the Bank with the intention of urging the plan of -private subscription. Under the hesitation of his projects, he had for -some time kept himself in the background, and he felt that he should -this morning resume his old position as a man of action and influence -in the public affairs of the town where he expected to end his days. -Among the various persons going in the same direction, he saw Lydgate; -they joined, talked over the object of the meeting, and entered it -together. - -It seemed that everybody of mark had been earlier than they. But there -were still spaces left near the head of the large central table, and -they made their way thither. Mr. Farebrother sat opposite, not far from -Mr. Hawley; all the medical men were there; Mr. Thesiger was in the -chair, and Mr. Brooke of Tipton was on his right hand. - -Lydgate noticed a peculiar interchange of glances when he and Bulstrode -took their seats. - -After the business had been fully opened by the chairman, who pointed -out the advantages of purchasing by subscription a piece of ground -large enough to be ultimately used as a general cemetery, Mr. -Bulstrode, whose rather high-pitched but subdued and fluent voice the -town was used to at meetings of this sort, rose and asked leave to -deliver his opinion. Lydgate could see again the peculiar interchange -of glances before Mr. Hawley started up, and said in his firm resonant -voice, Mr. Chairman, I request that before any one delivers his -opinion on this point I may be permitted to speak on a question of -public feeling, which not only by myself, but by many gentlemen -present, is regarded as preliminary. - -Mr. Hawleys mode of speech, even when public decorum repressed his -awful language, was formidable in its curtness and self-possession. -Mr. Thesiger sanctioned the request, Mr. Bulstrode sat down, and Mr. -Hawley continued. - -In what I have to say, Mr. Chairman, I am not speaking simply on my -own behalf: I am speaking with the concurrence and at the express -request of no fewer than eight of my fellow-townsmen, who are -immediately around us. It is our united sentiment that Mr. Bulstrode -should be called uponand I do now call upon himto resign public -positions which he holds not simply as a tax-payer, but as a gentleman -among gentlemen. There are practices and there are acts which, owing to -circumstances, the law cannot visit, though they may be worse than many -things which are legally punishable. Honest men and gentlemen, if they -dont want the company of people who perpetrate such acts, have got to -defend themselves as they best can, and that is what I and the friends -whom I may call my clients in this affair are determined to do. I dont -say that Mr. Bulstrode has been guilty of shameful acts, but I call -upon him either publicly to deny and confute the scandalous statements -made against him by a man now dead, and who died in his housethe -statement that he was for many years engaged in nefarious practices, -and that he won his fortune by dishonest proceduresor else to withdraw -from positions which could only have been allowed him as a gentleman -among gentlemen. - -All eyes in the room were turned on Mr. Bulstrode, who, since the first -mention of his name, had been going through a crisis of feeling almost -too violent for his delicate frame to support. Lydgate, who himself was -undergoing a shock as from the terrible practical interpretation of -some faint augury, felt, nevertheless, that his own movement of -resentful hatred was checked by that instinct of the Healer which -thinks first of bringing rescue or relief to the sufferer, when he -looked at the shrunken misery of Bulstrodes livid face. - -The quick vision that his life was after all a failure, that he was a -dishonored man, and must quail before the glance of those towards whom -he had habitually assumed the attitude of a reproverthat God had -disowned him before men and left him unscreened to the triumphant scorn -of those who were glad to have their hatred justifiedthe sense of -utter futility in that equivocation with his conscience in dealing with -the life of his accomplice, an equivocation which now turned venomously -upon him with the full-grown fang of a discovered lie:all this rushed -through him like the agony of terror which fails to kill, and leaves -the ears still open to the returning wave of execration. The sudden -sense of exposure after the re-established sense of safety camenot to -the coarse organization of a criminal, but to the susceptible nerve of -a man whose intensest being lay in such mastery and predominance as the -conditions of his life had shaped for him. - -But in that intense being lay the strength of reaction. Through all his -bodily infirmity there ran a tenacious nerve of ambitious -self-preserving will, which had continually leaped out like a flame, -scattering all doctrinal fears, and which, even while he sat an object -of compassion for the merciful, was beginning to stir and glow under -his ashy paleness. Before the last words were out of Mr. Hawleys -mouth, Bulstrode felt that he should answer, and that his answer would -be a retort. He dared not get up and say, I am not guilty, the whole -story is falseeven if he had dared this, it would have seemed to him, -under his present keen sense of betrayal, as vain as to pull, for -covering to his nakedness, a frail rag which would rend at every little -strain. - -For a few moments there was total silence, while every man in the room -was looking at Bulstrode. He sat perfectly still, leaning hard against -the back of his chair; he could not venture to rise, and when he began -to speak he pressed his hands upon the seat on each side of him. But -his voice was perfectly audible, though hoarser than usual, and his -words were distinctly pronounced, though he paused between sentence as -if short of breath. He said, turning first toward Mr. Thesiger, and -then looking at Mr. Hawley - -I protest before you, sir, as a Christian minister, against the -sanction of proceedings towards me which are dictated by virulent -hatred. Those who are hostile to me are glad to believe any libel -uttered by a loose tongue against me. And their consciences become -strict against me. Say that the evil-speaking of which I am to be made -the victim accuses me of malpractices here Bulstrodes voice rose and -took on a more biting accent, till it seemed a low crywho shall be my -accuser? Not men whose own lives are unchristian, nay, scandalousnot -men who themselves use low instruments to carry out their endswhose -profession is a tissue of chicanerywho have been spending their income -on their own sensual enjoyments, while I have been devoting mine to -advance the best objects with regard to this life and the next. - -After the word chicanery there was a growing noise, half of murmurs and -half of hisses, while four persons started up at onceMr. Hawley, Mr. -Toller, Mr. Chichely, and Mr. Hackbutt; but Mr. Hawleys outburst was -instantaneous, and left the others behind in silence. - -If you mean me, sir, I call you and every one else to the inspection -of my professional life. As to Christian or unchristian, I repudiate -your canting palavering Christianity; and as to the way in which I -spend my income, it is not my principle to maintain thieves and cheat -offspring of their due inheritance in order to support religion and set -myself up as a saintly Killjoy. I affect no niceness of conscienceI -have not found any nice standards necessary yet to measure your actions -by, sir. And I again call upon you to enter into satisfactory -explanations concerning the scandals against you, or else to withdraw -from posts in which we at any rate decline you as a colleague. I say, -sir, we decline to co-operate with a man whose character is not cleared -from infamous lights cast upon it, not only by reports but by recent -actions. - -Allow me, Mr. Hawley, said the chairman; and Mr. Hawley, still -fuming, bowed half impatiently, and sat down with his hands thrust deep -in his pockets. - -Mr. Bulstrode, it is not desirable, I think, to prolong the present -discussion, said Mr. Thesiger, turning to the pallid trembling man; I -must so far concur with what has fallen from Mr. Hawley in expression -of a general feeling, as to think it due to your Christian profession -that you should clear yourself, if possible, from unhappy aspersions. I -for my part should be willing to give you full opportunity and hearing. -But I must say that your present attitude is painfully inconsistent -with those principles which you have sought to identify yourself with, -and for the honor of which I am bound to care. I recommend you at -present, as your clergyman, and one who hopes for your reinstatement in -respect, to quit the room, and avoid further hindrance to business. - -Bulstrode, after a moments hesitation, took his hat from the floor and -slowly rose, but he grasped the corner of the chair so totteringly that -Lydgate felt sure there was not strength enough in him to walk away -without support. What could he do? He could not see a man sink close to -him for want of help. He rose and gave his arm to Bulstrode, and in -that way led him out of the room; yet this act, which might have been -one of gentle duty and pure compassion, was at this moment unspeakably -bitter to him. It seemed as if he were putting his sign-manual to that -association of himself with Bulstrode, of which he now saw the full -meaning as it must have presented itself to other minds. He now felt -the conviction that this man who was leaning tremblingly on his arm, -had given him the thousand pounds as a bribe, and that somehow the -treatment of Raffles had been tampered with from an evil motive. The -inferences were closely linked enough; the town knew of the loan, -believed it to be a bribe, and believed that he took it as a bribe. - -Poor Lydgate, his mind struggling under the terrible clutch of this -revelation, was all the while morally forced to take Mr. Bulstrode to -the Bank, send a man off for his carriage, and wait to accompany him -home. - -Meanwhile the business of the meeting was despatched, and fringed off -into eager discussion among various groups concerning this affair of -Bulstrodeand Lydgate. - -Mr. Brooke, who had before heard only imperfect hints of it, and was -very uneasy that he had gone a little too far in countenancing -Bulstrode, now got himself fully informed, and felt some benevolent -sadness in talking to Mr. Farebrother about the ugly light in which -Lydgate had come to be regarded. Mr. Farebrother was going to walk back -to Lowick. - -Step into my carriage, said Mr. Brooke. I am going round to see Mrs. -Casaubon. She was to come back from Yorkshire last night. She will like -to see me, you know. - -So they drove along, Mr. Brooke chatting with good-natured hope that -there had not really been anything black in Lydgates behaviora young -fellow whom he had seen to be quite above the common mark, when he -brought a letter from his uncle Sir Godwin. Mr. Farebrother said -little: he was deeply mournful: with a keen perception of human -weakness, he could not be confident that under the pressure of -humiliating needs Lydgate had not fallen below himself. - -When the carriage drove up to the gate of the Manor, Dorothea was out -on the gravel, and came to greet them. - -Well, my dear, said Mr. Brooke, we have just come from a meetinga -sanitary meeting, you know. - -Was Mr. Lydgate there? said Dorothea, who looked full of health and -animation, and stood with her head bare under the gleaming April -lights. I want to see him and have a great consultation with him about -the Hospital. I have engaged with Mr. Bulstrode to do so. - -Oh, my dear, said Mr. Brooke, we have been hearing bad newsbad -news, you know. - -They walked through the garden towards the churchyard gate, Mr. -Farebrother wanting to go on to the parsonage; and Dorothea heard the -whole sad story. - -She listened with deep interest, and begged to hear twice over the -facts and impressions concerning Lydgate. After a short silence, -pausing at the churchyard gate, and addressing Mr. Farebrother, she -said energetically - -You dont believe that Mr. Lydgate is guilty of anything base? I will -not believe it. Let us find out the truth and clear him! - - - - -BOOK VIII. -SUNSET AND SUNRISE. - - - - -CHAPTER LXXII. - -Full souls are double mirrors, making still -An endless vista of fair things before, -Repeating things behind. - - -Dorotheas impetuous generosity, which would have leaped at once to the -vindication of Lydgate from the suspicion of having accepted money as a -bribe, underwent a melancholy check when she came to consider all the -circumstances of the case by the light of Mr. Farebrothers experience. - -It is a delicate matter to touch, he said. How can we begin to -inquire into it? It must be either publicly by setting the magistrate -and coroner to work, or privately by questioning Lydgate. As to the -first proceeding there is no solid ground to go upon, else Hawley would -have adopted it; and as to opening the subject with Lydgate, I confess -I should shrink from it. He would probably take it as a deadly insult. -I have more than once experienced the difficulty of speaking to him on -personal matters. Andone should know the truth about his conduct -beforehand, to feel very confident of a good result. - -I feel convinced that his conduct has not been guilty: I believe that -people are almost always better than their neighbors think they are, -said Dorothea. Some of her intensest experience in the last two years -had set her mind strongly in opposition to any unfavorable construction -of others; and for the first time she felt rather discontented with Mr. -Farebrother. She disliked this cautious weighing of consequences, -instead of an ardent faith in efforts of justice and mercy, which would -conquer by their emotional force. Two days afterwards, he was dining at -the Manor with her uncle and the Chettams, and when the dessert was -standing uneaten, the servants were out of the room, and Mr. Brooke was -nodding in a nap, she returned to the subject with renewed vivacity. - -Mr. Lydgate would understand that if his friends hear a calumny about -him their first wish must be to justify him. What do we live for, if it -is not to make life less difficult to each other? I cannot be -indifferent to the troubles of a man who advised me in _my_ trouble, -and attended me in my illness. - -Dorotheas tone and manner were not more energetic than they had been -when she was at the head of her uncles table nearly three years -before, and her experience since had given her more right to express a -decided opinion. But Sir James Chettam was no longer the diffident and -acquiescent suitor: he was the anxious brother-in-law, with a devout -admiration for his sister, but with a constant alarm lest she should -fall under some new illusion almost as bad as marrying Casaubon. He -smiled much less; when he said Exactly it was more often an -introduction to a dissentient opinion than in those submissive bachelor -days; and Dorothea found to her surprise that she had to resolve not to -be afraid of himall the more because he was really her best friend. He -disagreed with her now. - -But, Dorothea, he said, remonstrantly, you cant undertake to manage -a mans life for him in that way. Lydgate must knowat least he will -soon come to know how he stands. If he can clear himself, he will. He -must act for himself. - -I think his friends must wait till they find an opportunity, added -Mr. Farebrother. It is possibleI have often felt so much weakness in -myself that I can conceive even a man of honorable disposition, such as -I have always believed Lydgate to be, succumbing to such a temptation -as that of accepting money which was offered more or less indirectly as -a bribe to insure his silence about scandalous facts long gone by. I -say, I can conceive this, if he were under the pressure of hard -circumstancesif he had been harassed as I feel sure Lydgate has been. -I would not believe anything worse of him except under stringent proof. -But there is the terrible Nemesis following on some errors, that it is -always possible for those who like it to interpret them into a crime: -there is no proof in favor of the man outside his own consciousness and -assertion. - -Oh, how cruel! said Dorothea, clasping her hands. And would you not -like to be the one person who believed in that mans innocence, if the -rest of the world belied him? Besides, there is a mans character -beforehand to speak for him. - -But, my dear Mrs. Casaubon, said Mr. Farebrother, smiling gently at -her ardor, character is not cut in marbleit is not something solid -and unalterable. It is something living and changing, and may become -diseased as our bodies do. - -Then it may be rescued and healed, said Dorothea I should not be -afraid of asking Mr. Lydgate to tell me the truth, that I might help -him. Why should I be afraid? Now that I am not to have the land, James, -I might do as Mr. Bulstrode proposed, and take his place in providing -for the Hospital; and I have to consult Mr. Lydgate, to know thoroughly -what are the prospects of doing good by keeping up the present plans. -There is the best opportunity in the world for me to ask for his -confidence; and he would be able to tell me things which might make all -the circumstances clear. Then we would all stand by him and bring him -out of his trouble. People glorify all sorts of bravery except the -bravery they might show on behalf of their nearest neighbors. -Dorotheas eyes had a moist brightness in them, and the changed tones -of her voice roused her uncle, who began to listen. - -It is true that a woman may venture on some efforts of sympathy which -would hardly succeed if we men undertook them, said Mr. Farebrother, -almost converted by Dorotheas ardor. - -Surely, a woman is bound to be cautious and listen to those who know -the world better than she does. said Sir James, with his little frown. -Whatever you do in the end, Dorothea, you should really keep back at -present, and not volunteer any meddling with this Bulstrode business. -We dont know yet what may turn up. You must agree with me? he ended, -looking at Mr. Farebrother. - -I do think it would be better to wait, said the latter. - -Yes, yes, my dear, said Mr. Brooke, not quite knowing at what point -the discussion had arrived, but coming up to it with a contribution -which was generally appropriate. It is easy to go too far, you know. -You must not let your ideas run away with you. And as to being in a -hurry to put money into schemesit wont do, you know. Garth has drawn -me in uncommonly with repairs, draining, that sort of thing: Im -uncommonly out of pocket with one thing or another. I must pull up. As -for you, Chettam, you are spending a fortune on those oak fences round -your demesne. - -Dorothea, submitting uneasily to this discouragement, went with Celia -into the library, which was her usual drawing-room. - -Now, Dodo, do listen to what James says, said Celia, else you will -be getting into a scrape. You always did, and you always will, when you -set about doing as you please. And I think it is a mercy now after all -that you have got James to think for you. He lets you have your plans, -only he hinders you from being taken in. And that is the good of having -a brother instead of a husband. A husband would not let you have your -plans. - -As if I wanted a husband! said Dorothea. I only want not to have my -feelings checked at every turn. Mrs. Casaubon was still undisciplined -enough to burst into angry tears. - -Now, really, Dodo, said Celia, with rather a deeper guttural than -usual, you _are_ contradictory: first one thing and then another. You -used to submit to Mr. Casaubon quite shamefully: I think you would have -given up ever coming to see me if he had asked you. - -Of course I submitted to him, because it was my duty; it was my -feeling for him, said Dorothea, looking through the prism of her -tears. - -Then why cant you think it your duty to submit a little to what James -wishes? said Celia, with a sense of stringency in her argument. -Because he only wishes what is for your own good. And, of course, men -know best about everything, except what women know better. Dorothea -laughed and forgot her tears. - -Well, I mean about babies and those things, explained Celia. I -should not give up to James when I knew he was wrong, as you used to do -to Mr. Casaubon. - - - - -CHAPTER LXXIII. - -Pity the laden one; this wandering woe -May visit you and me. - - -When Lydgate had allayed Mrs. Bulstrodes anxiety by telling her that -her husband had been seized with faintness at the meeting, but that he -trusted soon to see him better and would call again the next day, -unless she sent for him earlier, he went directly home, got on his -horse, and rode three miles out of the town for the sake of being out -of reach. - -He felt himself becoming violent and unreasonable as if raging under -the pain of stings: he was ready to curse the day on which he had come -to Middlemarch. Everything that had happened to him there seemed a mere -preparation for this hateful fatality, which had come as a blight on -his honorable ambition, and must make even people who had only vulgar -standards regard his reputation as irrevocably damaged. In such moments -a man can hardly escape being unloving. Lydgate thought of himself as -the sufferer, and of others as the agents who had injured his lot. He -had meant everything to turn out differently; and others had thrust -themselves into his life and thwarted his purposes. His marriage seemed -an unmitigated calamity; and he was afraid of going to Rosamond before -he had vented himself in this solitary rage, lest the mere sight of her -should exasperate him and make him behave unwarrantably. There are -episodes in most mens lives in which their highest qualities can only -cast a deterring shadow over the objects that fill their inward vision: -Lydgates tenderheartedness was present just then only as a dread lest -he should offend against it, not as an emotion that swayed him to -tenderness. For he was very miserable. Only those who know the -supremacy of the intellectual lifethe life which has a seed of -ennobling thought and purpose within itcan understand the grief of one -who falls from that serene activity into the absorbing soul-wasting -struggle with worldly annoyances. - -How was he to live on without vindicating himself among people who -suspected him of baseness? How could he go silently away from -Middlemarch as if he were retreating before a just condemnation? And -yet how was he to set about vindicating himself? - -For that scene at the meeting, which he had just witnessed, although it -had told him no particulars, had been enough to make his own situation -thoroughly clear to him. Bulstrode had been in dread of scandalous -disclosures on the part of Raffles. Lydgate could now construct all the -probabilities of the case. He was afraid of some betrayal in my -hearing: all he wanted was to bind me to him by a strong obligation: -that was why he passed on a sudden from hardness to liberality. And he -may have tampered with the patienthe may have disobeyed my orders. I -fear he did. But whether he did or not, the world believes that he -somehow or other poisoned the man and that I winked at the crime, if I -didnt help in it. And yetand yet he may not be guilty of the last -offence; and it is just possible that the change towards me may have -been a genuine relentingthe effect of second thoughts such as he -alleged. What we call the just possible is sometimes true and the -thing we find it easier to believe is grossly false. In his last -dealings with this man Bulstrode may have kept his hands pure, in spite -of my suspicion to the contrary. - -There was a benumbing cruelty in his position. Even if he renounced -every other consideration than that of justifying himselfif he met -shrugs, cold glances, and avoidance as an accusation, and made a public -statement of all the facts as he knew them, who would be convinced? It -would be playing the part of a fool to offer his own testimony on -behalf of himself, and say, I did not take the money as a bribe. The -circumstances would always be stronger than his assertion. And besides, -to come forward and tell everything about himself must include -declarations about Bulstrode which would darken the suspicions of -others against him. He must tell that he had not known of Raffless -existence when he first mentioned his pressing need of money to -Bulstrode, and that he took the money innocently as a result of that -communication, not knowing that a new motive for the loan might have -arisen on his being called in to this man. And after all, the suspicion -of Bulstrodes motives might be unjust. - -But then came the question whether he should have acted in precisely -the same way if he had not taken the money? Certainly, if Raffles had -continued alive and susceptible of further treatment when he arrived, -and he had then imagined any disobedience to his orders on the part of -Bulstrode, he would have made a strict inquiry, and if his conjecture -had been verified he would have thrown up the case, in spite of his -recent heavy obligation. But if he had not received any moneyif -Bulstrode had never revoked his cold recommendation of bankruptcywould -he, Lydgate, have abstained from all inquiry even on finding the man -dead?would the shrinking from an insult to Bulstrodewould the -dubiousness of all medical treatment and the argument that his own -treatment would pass for the wrong with most members of his -professionhave had just the same force or significance with him? - -That was the uneasy corner of Lydgates consciousness while he was -reviewing the facts and resisting all reproach. If he had been -independent, this matter of a patients treatment and the distinct rule -that he must do or see done that which he believed best for the life -committed to him, would have been the point on which he would have been -the sturdiest. As it was, he had rested in the consideration that -disobedience to his orders, however it might have arisen, could not be -considered a crime, that in the dominant opinion obedience to his -orders was just as likely to be fatal, and that the affair was simply -one of etiquette. Whereas, again and again, in his time of freedom, he -had denounced the perversion of pathological doubt into moral doubt and -had saidthe purest experiment in treatment may still be -conscientious: my business is to take care of life, and to do the best -I can think of for it. Science is properly more scrupulous than dogma. -Dogma gives a charter to mistake, but the very breath of science is a -contest with mistake, and must keep the conscience alive. Alas! the -scientific conscience had got into the debasing company of money -obligation and selfish respects. - -Is there a medical man of them all in Middlemarch who would question -himself as I do? said poor Lydgate, with a renewed outburst of -rebellion against the oppression of his lot. And yet they will all -feel warranted in making a wide space between me and them, as if I were -a leper! My practice and my reputation are utterly damnedI can see -that. Even if I could be cleared by valid evidence, it would make -little difference to the blessed world here. I have been set down as -tainted and should be cheapened to them all the same. - -Already there had been abundant signs which had hitherto puzzled him, -that just when he had been paying off his debts and getting cheerfully -on his feet, the townsmen were avoiding him or looking strangely at -him, and in two instances it came to his knowledge that patients of his -had called in another practitioner. The reasons were too plain now. The -general black-balling had begun. - -No wonder that in Lydgates energetic nature the sense of a hopeless -misconstruction easily turned into a dogged resistance. The scowl which -occasionally showed itself on his square brow was not a meaningless -accident. Already when he was re-entering the town after that ride -taken in the first hours of stinging pain, he was setting his mind on -remaining in Middlemarch in spite of the worst that could be done -against him. He would not retreat before calumny, as if he submitted to -it. He would face it to the utmost, and no act of his should show that -he was afraid. It belonged to the generosity as well as defiant force -of his nature that he resolved not to shrink from showing to the full -his sense of obligation to Bulstrode. It was true that the association -with this man had been fatal to himtrue that if he had had the -thousand pounds still in his hands with all his debts unpaid he would -have returned the money to Bulstrode, and taken beggary rather than the -rescue which had been sullied with the suspicion of a bribe (for, -remember, he was one of the proudest among the sons of -men)nevertheless, he would not turn away from this crushed -fellow-mortal whose aid he had used, and make a pitiful effort to get -acquittal for himself by howling against another. I shall do as I -think right, and explain to nobody. They will try to starve me out, -but he was going on with an obstinate resolve, but he was getting -near home, and the thought of Rosamond urged itself again into that -chief place from which it had been thrust by the agonized struggles of -wounded honor and pride. - -How would Rosamond take it all? Here was another weight of chain to -drag, and poor Lydgate was in a bad mood for bearing her dumb mastery. -He had no impulse to tell her the trouble which must soon be common to -them both. He preferred waiting for the incidental disclosure which -events must soon bring about. - - - - -CHAPTER LXXIV. - -Mercifully grant that we may grow aged together. -BOOK OF TOBIT: _Marriage Prayer_. - - -In Middlemarch a wife could not long remain ignorant that the town held -a bad opinion of her husband. No feminine intimate might carry her -friendship so far as to make a plain statement to the wife of the -unpleasant fact known or believed about her husband; but when a woman -with her thoughts much at leisure got them suddenly employed on -something grievously disadvantageous to her neighbors, various moral -impulses were called into play which tended to stimulate utterance. -Candor was one. To be candid, in Middlemarch phraseology, meant, to use -an early opportunity of letting your friends know that you did not take -a cheerful view of their capacity, their conduct, or their position; -and a robust candor never waited to be asked for its opinion. Then, -again, there was the love of trutha wide phrase, but meaning in this -relation, a lively objection to seeing a wife look happier than her -husbands character warranted, or manifest too much satisfaction in her -lotthe poor thing should have some hint given her that if she knew the -truth she would have less complacency in her bonnet, and in light -dishes for a supper-party. Stronger than all, there was the regard for -a friends moral improvement, sometimes called her soul, which was -likely to be benefited by remarks tending to gloom, uttered with the -accompaniment of pensive staring at the furniture and a manner implying -that the speaker would not tell what was on her mind, from regard to -the feelings of her hearer. On the whole, one might say that an ardent -charity was at work setting the virtuous mind to make a neighbor -unhappy for her good. - -There were hardly any wives in Middlemarch whose matrimonial -misfortunes would in different ways be likely to call forth more of -this moral activity than Rosamond and her aunt Bulstrode. Mrs. -Bulstrode was not an object of dislike, and had never consciously -injured any human being. Men had always thought her a handsome -comfortable woman, and had reckoned it among the signs of Bulstrodes -hypocrisy that he had chosen a red-blooded Vincy, instead of a ghastly -and melancholy person suited to his low esteem for earthly pleasure. -When the scandal about her husband was disclosed they remarked of -herAh, poor woman! Shes as honest as the day_she_ never suspected -anything wrong in him, you may depend on it. Women, who were intimate -with her, talked together much of poor Harriet, imagined what her -feelings must be when she came to know everything, and conjectured how -much she had already come to know. There was no spiteful disposition -towards her; rather, there was a busy benevolence anxious to ascertain -what it would be well for her to feel and do under the circumstances, -which of course kept the imagination occupied with her character and -history from the times when she was Harriet Vincy till now. With the -review of Mrs. Bulstrode and her position it was inevitable to -associate Rosamond, whose prospects were under the same blight with her -aunts. Rosamond was more severely criticised and less pitied, though -she too, as one of the good old Vincy family who had always been known -in Middlemarch, was regarded as a victim to marriage with an -interloper. The Vincys had their weaknesses, but then they lay on the -surface: there was never anything bad to be found out concerning -them. Mrs. Bulstrode was vindicated from any resemblance to her -husband. Harriets faults were her own. - -She has always been showy, said Mrs. Hackbutt, making tea for a small -party, though she has got into the way of putting her religion -forward, to conform to her husband; she has tried to hold her head up -above Middlemarch by making it known that she invites clergymen and -heaven-knows-who from Riverston and those places. - -We can hardly blame her for that, said Mrs. Sprague; because few of -the best people in the town cared to associate with Bulstrode, and she -must have somebody to sit down at her table. - -Mr. Thesiger has always countenanced him, said Mrs. Hackbutt. I -think he must be sorry now. - -But he was never fond of him in his heartthat every one knows, said -Mrs. Tom Toller. Mr. Thesiger never goes into extremes. He keeps to -the truth in what is evangelical. It is only clergymen like Mr. Tyke, -who want to use Dissenting hymn-books and that low kind of religion, -who ever found Bulstrode to their taste. - -I understand, Mr. Tyke is in great distress about him, said Mrs. -Hackbutt. And well he may be: they say the Bulstrodes have half kept -the Tyke family. - -And of course it is a discredit to his doctrines, said Mrs. Sprague, -who was elderly, and old-fashioned in her opinions. - -People will not make a boast of being methodistical in Middlemarch for -a good while to come. - -I think we must not set down peoples bad actions to their religion, -said falcon-faced Mrs. Plymdale, who had been listening hitherto. - -Oh, my dear, we are forgetting, said Mrs. Sprague. We ought not to -be talking of this before you. - -I am sure I have no reason to be partial, said Mrs. Plymdale, -coloring. Its true Mr. Plymdale has always been on good terms with -Mr. Bulstrode, and Harriet Vincy was my friend long before she married -him. But I have always kept my own opinions and told her where she was -wrong, poor thing. Still, in point of religion, I must say, Mr. -Bulstrode might have done what he has, and worse, and yet have been a -man of no religion. I dont say that there has not been a little too -much of thatI like moderation myself. But truth is truth. The men -tried at the assizes are not all over-religious, I suppose. - -Well, said Mrs. Hackbutt, wheeling adroitly, all I can say is, that -I think she ought to separate from him. - -I cant say that, said Mrs. Sprague. She took him for better or -worse, you know. - -But worse can never mean finding out that your husband is fit for -Newgate, said Mrs. Hackbutt. Fancy living with such a man! I should -expect to be poisoned. - -Yes, I think myself it is an encouragement to crime if such men are to -be taken care of and waited on by good wives, said Mrs. Tom Toller. - -And a good wife poor Harriet has been, said Mrs. Plymdale. She -thinks her husband the first of men. Its true he has never denied her -anything. - -Well, we shall see what she will do, said Mrs. Hackbutt. I suppose -she knows nothing yet, poor creature. I do hope and trust I shall not -see her, for I should be frightened to death lest I should say anything -about her husband. Do you think any hint has reached her? - -I should hardly think so, said Mrs. Tom Toller. We hear that _he_ is -ill, and has never stirred out of the house since the meeting on -Thursday; but she was with her girls at church yesterday, and they had -new Tuscan bonnets. Her own had a feather in it. I have never seen that -her religion made any difference in her dress. - -She wears very neat patterns always, said Mrs. Plymdale, a little -stung. And that feather I know she got dyed a pale lavender on purpose -to be consistent. I must say it of Harriet that she wishes to do -right. - -As to her knowing what has happened, it cant be kept from her long, -said Mrs. Hackbutt. The Vincys know, for Mr. Vincy was at the meeting. -It will be a great blow to him. There is his daughter as well as his -sister. - -Yes, indeed, said Mrs. Sprague. Nobody supposes that Mr. Lydgate can -go on holding up his head in Middlemarch, things look so black about -the thousand pounds he took just at that mans death. It really makes -one shudder. - -Pride must have a fall, said Mrs. Hackbutt. - -I am not so sorry for Rosamond Vincy that was as I am for her aunt, -said Mrs. Plymdale. She needed a lesson. - -I suppose the Bulstrodes will go and live abroad somewhere, said Mrs. -Sprague. That is what is generally done when there is anything -disgraceful in a family. - -And a most deadly blow it will be to Harriet, said Mrs. Plymdale. If -ever a woman was crushed, she will be. I pity her from my heart. And -with all her faults, few women are better. From a girl she had the -neatest ways, and was always good-hearted, and as open as the day. You -might look into her drawers when you wouldalways the same. And so she -has brought up Kate and Ellen. You may think how hard it will be for -her to go among foreigners. - -The doctor says that is what he should recommend the Lydgates to do, -said Mrs. Sprague. He says Lydgate ought to have kept among the -French. - -That would suit _her_ well enough, I dare say, said Mrs. Plymdale; -there is that kind of lightness about her. But she got that from her -mother; she never got it from her aunt Bulstrode, who always gave her -good advice, and to my knowledge would rather have had her marry -elsewhere. - -Mrs. Plymdale was in a situation which caused her some complication of -feeling. There had been not only her intimacy with Mrs. Bulstrode, but -also a profitable business relation of the great Plymdale dyeing house -with Mr. Bulstrode, which on the one hand would have inclined her to -desire that the mildest view of his character should be the true one, -but on the other, made her the more afraid of seeming to palliate his -culpability. Again, the late alliance of her family with the Tollers -had brought her in connection with the best circle, which gratified her -in every direction except in the inclination to those serious views -which she believed to be the best in another sense. The sharp little -womans conscience was somewhat troubled in the adjustment of these -opposing bests, and of her griefs and satisfactions under late -events, which were likely to humble those who needed humbling, but also -to fall heavily on her old friend whose faults she would have preferred -seeing on a background of prosperity. - -Poor Mrs. Bulstrode, meanwhile, had been no further shaken by the -oncoming tread of calamity than in the busier stirring of that secret -uneasiness which had always been present in her since the last visit of -Raffles to The Shrubs. That the hateful man had come ill to Stone -Court, and that her husband had chosen to remain there and watch over -him, she allowed to be explained by the fact that Raffles had been -employed and aided in earlier-days, and that this made a tie of -benevolence towards him in his degraded helplessness; and she had been -since then innocently cheered by her husbands more hopeful speech -about his own health and ability to continue his attention to business. -The calm was disturbed when Lydgate had brought him home ill from the -meeting, and in spite of comforting assurances during the next few -days, she cried in private from the conviction that her husband was not -suffering from bodily illness merely, but from something that afflicted -his mind. He would not allow her to read to him, and scarcely to sit -with him, alleging nervous susceptibility to sounds and movements; yet -she suspected that in shutting himself up in his private room he wanted -to be busy with his papers. Something, she felt sure, had happened. -Perhaps it was some great loss of money; and she was kept in the dark. -Not daring to question her husband, she said to Lydgate, on the fifth -day after the meeting, when she had not left home except to go to -church - -Mr. Lydgate, pray be open with me: I like to know the truth. Has -anything happened to Mr. Bulstrode? - -Some little nervous shock, said Lydgate, evasively. He felt that it -was not for him to make the painful revelation. - -But what brought it on? said Mrs. Bulstrode, looking directly at him -with her large dark eyes. - -There is often something poisonous in the air of public rooms, said -Lydgate. Strong men can stand it, but it tells on people in proportion -to the delicacy of their systems. It is often impossible to account for -the precise moment of an attackor rather, to say why the strength -gives way at a particular moment. - -Mrs. Bulstrode was not satisfied with this answer. There remained in -her the belief that some calamity had befallen her husband, of which -she was to be kept in ignorance; and it was in her nature strongly to -object to such concealment. She begged leave for her daughters to sit -with their father, and drove into the town to pay some visits, -conjecturing that if anything were known to have gone wrong in Mr. -Bulstrodes affairs, she should see or hear some sign of it. - -She called on Mrs. Thesiger, who was not at home, and then drove to -Mrs. Hackbutts on the other side of the churchyard. Mrs. Hackbutt saw -her coming from an up-stairs window, and remembering her former alarm -lest she should meet Mrs. Bulstrode, felt almost bound in consistency -to send word that she was not at home; but against that, there was a -sudden strong desire within her for the excitement of an interview in -which she was quite determined not to make the slightest allusion to -what was in her mind. - -Hence Mrs. Bulstrode was shown into the drawing-room, and Mrs. Hackbutt -went to her, with more tightness of lip and rubbing of her hands than -was usually observable in her, these being precautions adopted against -freedom of speech. She was resolved not to ask how Mr. Bulstrode was. - -I have not been anywhere except to church for nearly a week, said -Mrs. Bulstrode, after a few introductory remarks. But Mr. Bulstrode -was taken so ill at the meeting on Thursday that I have not liked to -leave the house. - -Mrs. Hackbutt rubbed the back of one hand with the palm of the other -held against her chest, and let her eyes ramble over the pattern on the -rug. - -Was Mr. Hackbutt at the meeting? persevered Mrs. Bulstrode. - -Yes, he was, said Mrs. Hackbutt, with the same attitude. The land is -to be bought by subscription, I believe. - -Let us hope that there will be no more cases of cholera to be buried -in it, said Mrs. Bulstrode. It is an awful visitation. But I always -think Middlemarch a very healthy spot. I suppose it is being used to it -from a child; but I never saw the town I should like to live at better, -and especially our end. - -I am sure I should be glad that you always should live at Middlemarch, -Mrs. Bulstrode, said Mrs. Hackbutt, with a slight sigh. Still, we -must learn to resign ourselves, wherever our lot may be cast. Though I -am sure there will always be people in this town who will wish you -well. - -Mrs. Hackbutt longed to say, if you take my advice you will part from -your husband, but it seemed clear to her that the poor woman knew -nothing of the thunder ready to bolt on her head, and she herself could -do no more than prepare her a little. Mrs. Bulstrode felt suddenly -rather chill and trembling: there was evidently something unusual -behind this speech of Mrs. Hackbutts; but though she had set out with -the desire to be fully informed, she found herself unable now to pursue -her brave purpose, and turning the conversation by an inquiry about the -young Hackbutts, she soon took her leave saying that she was going to -see Mrs. Plymdale. On her way thither she tried to imagine that there -might have been some unusually warm sparring at the meeting between Mr. -Bulstrode and some of his frequent opponentsperhaps Mr. Hackbutt might -have been one of them. That would account for everything. - -But when she was in conversation with Mrs. Plymdale that comforting -explanation seemed no longer tenable. Selina received her with a -pathetic affectionateness and a disposition to give edifying answers on -the commonest topics, which could hardly have reference to an ordinary -quarrel of which the most important consequence was a perturbation of -Mr. Bulstrodes health. Beforehand Mrs. Bulstrode had thought that she -would sooner question Mrs. Plymdale than any one else; but she found to -her surprise that an old friend is not always the person whom it is -easiest to make a confidant of: there was the barrier of remembered -communication under other circumstancesthere was the dislike of being -pitied and informed by one who had been long wont to allow her the -superiority. For certain words of mysterious appropriateness that Mrs. -Plymdale let fall about her resolution never to turn her back on her -friends, convinced Mrs. Bulstrode that what had happened must be some -kind of misfortune, and instead of being able to say with her native -directness, What is it that you have in your mind? she found herself -anxious to get away before she had heard anything more explicit. She -began to have an agitating certainty that the misfortune was something -more than the mere loss of money, being keenly sensitive to the fact -that Selina now, just as Mrs. Hackbutt had done before, avoided -noticing what she said about her husband, as they would have avoided -noticing a personal blemish. - -She said good-by with nervous haste, and told the coachman to drive to -Mr. Vincys warehouse. In that short drive her dread gathered so much -force from the sense of darkness, that when she entered the private -counting-house where her brother sat at his desk, her knees trembled -and her usually florid face was deathly pale. Something of the same -effect was produced in him by the sight of her: he rose from his seat -to meet her, took her by the hand, and said, with his impulsive -rashness - -God help you, Harriet! you know all. - -That moment was perhaps worse than any which came after. It contained -that concentrated experience which in great crises of emotion reveals -the bias of a nature, and is prophetic of the ultimate act which will -end an intermediate struggle. Without that memory of Raffles she might -still have thought only of monetary ruin, but now along with her -brothers look and words there darted into her mind the idea of some -guilt in her husbandthen, under the working of terror came the image -of her husband exposed to disgraceand then, after an instant of -scorching shame in which she felt only the eyes of the world, with one -leap of her heart she was at his side in mournful but unreproaching -fellowship with shame and isolation. All this went on within her in a -mere flash of timewhile she sank into the chair, and raised her eyes -to her brother, who stood over her. I know nothing, Walter. What is -it? she said, faintly. - -He told her everything, very inartificially, in slow fragments, making -her aware that the scandal went much beyond proof, especially as to the -end of Raffles. - -People will talk, he said. Even if a man has been acquitted by a -jury, theyll talk, and nod and winkand as far as the world goes, a -man might often as well be guilty as not. Its a breakdown blow, and it -damages Lydgate as much as Bulstrode. I dont pretend to say what is -the truth. I only wish we had never heard the name of either Bulstrode -or Lydgate. Youd better have been a Vincy all your life, and so had -Rosamond. Mrs. Bulstrode made no reply. - -But you must bear up as well as you can, Harriet. People dont blame -_you_. And Ill stand by you whatever you make up your mind to do, -said the brother, with rough but well-meaning affectionateness. - -Give me your arm to the carriage, Walter, said Mrs. Bulstrode. I -feel very weak. - -And when she got home she was obliged to say to her daughter, I am not -well, my dear; I must go and lie down. Attend to your papa. Leave me in -quiet. I shall take no dinner. - -She locked herself in her room. She needed time to get used to her -maimed consciousness, her poor lopped life, before she could walk -steadily to the place allotted her. A new searching light had fallen on -her husbands character, and she could not judge him leniently: the -twenty years in which she had believed in him and venerated him by -virtue of his concealments came back with particulars that made them -seem an odious deceit. He had married her with that bad past life -hidden behind him, and she had no faith left to protest his innocence -of the worst that was imputed to him. Her honest ostentatious nature -made the sharing of a merited dishonor as bitter as it could be to any -mortal. - -But this imperfectly taught woman, whose phrases and habits were an odd -patchwork, had a loyal spirit within her. The man whose prosperity she -had shared through nearly half a life, and who had unvaryingly -cherished hernow that punishment had befallen him it was not possible -to her in any sense to forsake him. There is a forsaking which still -sits at the same board and lies on the same couch with the forsaken -soul, withering it the more by unloving proximity. She knew, when she -locked her door, that she should unlock it ready to go down to her -unhappy husband and espouse his sorrow, and say of his guilt, I will -mourn and not reproach. But she needed time to gather up her strength; -she needed to sob out her farewell to all the gladness and pride of her -life. When she had resolved to go down, she prepared herself by some -little acts which might seem mere folly to a hard onlooker; they were -her way of expressing to all spectators visible or invisible that she -had begun a new life in which she embraced humiliation. She took off -all her ornaments and put on a plain black gown, and instead of wearing -her much-adorned cap and large bows of hair, she brushed her hair down -and put on a plain bonnet-cap, which made her look suddenly like an -early Methodist. - -Bulstrode, who knew that his wife had been out and had come in saying -that she was not well, had spent the time in an agitation equal to -hers. He had looked forward to her learning the truth from others, and -had acquiesced in that probability, as something easier to him than any -confession. But now that he imagined the moment of her knowledge come, -he awaited the result in anguish. His daughters had been obliged to -consent to leave him, and though he had allowed some food to be brought -to him, he had not touched it. He felt himself perishing slowly in -unpitied misery. Perhaps he should never see his wifes face with -affection in it again. And if he turned to God there seemed to be no -answer but the pressure of retribution. - -It was eight oclock in the evening before the door opened and his wife -entered. He dared not look up at her. He sat with his eyes bent down, -and as she went towards him she thought he looked smallerhe seemed so -withered and shrunken. A movement of new compassion and old tenderness -went through her like a great wave, and putting one hand on his which -rested on the arm of the chair, and the other on his shoulder, she -said, solemnly but kindly - -Look up, Nicholas. - -He raised his eyes with a little start and looked at her half amazed -for a moment: her pale face, her changed, mourning dress, the trembling -about her mouth, all said, I know; and her hands and eyes rested -gently on him. He burst out crying and they cried together, she sitting -at his side. They could not yet speak to each other of the shame which -she was bearing with him, or of the acts which had brought it down on -them. His confession was silent, and her promise of faithfulness was -silent. Open-minded as she was, she nevertheless shrank from the words -which would have expressed their mutual consciousness, as she would -have shrunk from flakes of fire. She could not say, How much is only -slander and false suspicion? and he did not say, I am innocent. - - - - -CHAPTER LXXV. - -Le sentiment de la fausset des plaisirs prsents, et lignorance de -la vanit des plaisirs absents causent linconstance.PASCAL. - - -Rosamond had a gleam of returning cheerfulness when the house was freed -from the threatening figure, and when all the disagreeable creditors -were paid. But she was not joyous: her married life had fulfilled none -of her hopes, and had been quite spoiled for her imagination. In this -brief interval of calm, Lydgate, remembering that he had often been -stormy in his hours of perturbation, and mindful of the pain Rosamond -had had to bear, was carefully gentle towards her; but he, too, had -lost some of his old spirit, and he still felt it necessary to refer to -an economical change in their way of living as a matter of course, -trying to reconcile her to it gradually, and repressing his anger when -she answered by wishing that he would go to live in London. When she -did not make this answer, she listened languidly, and wondered what she -had that was worth living for. The hard and contemptuous words which -had fallen from her husband in his anger had deeply offended that -vanity which he had at first called into active enjoyment; and what she -regarded as his perverse way of looking at things, kept up a secret -repulsion, which made her receive all his tenderness as a poor -substitute for the happiness he had failed to give her. They were at a -disadvantage with their neighbors, and there was no longer any outlook -towards Quallinghamthere was no outlook anywhere except in an -occasional letter from Will Ladislaw. She had felt stung and -disappointed by Wills resolution to quit Middlemarch, for in spite of -what she knew and guessed about his admiration for Dorothea, she -secretly cherished the belief that he had, or would necessarily come to -have, much more admiration for herself; Rosamond being one of those -women who live much in the idea that each man they meet would have -preferred them if the preference had not been hopeless. Mrs. Casaubon -was all very well; but Wills interest in her dated before he knew Mrs. -Lydgate. Rosamond took his way of talking to herself, which was a -mixture of playful fault-finding and hyperbolical gallantry, as the -disguise of a deeper feeling; and in his presence she felt that -agreeable titillation of vanity and sense of romantic drama which -Lydgates presence had no longer the magic to create. She even -fanciedwhat will not men and women fancy in these matters?that Will -exaggerated his admiration for Mrs. Casaubon in order to pique herself. -In this way poor Rosamonds brain had been busy before Wills -departure. He would have made, she thought, a much more suitable -husband for her than she had found in Lydgate. No notion could have -been falser than this, for Rosamonds discontent in her marriage was -due to the conditions of marriage itself, to its demand for -self-suppression and tolerance, and not to the nature of her husband; -but the easy conception of an unreal Better had a sentimental charm -which diverted her ennui. She constructed a little romance which was to -vary the flatness of her life: Will Ladislaw was always to be a -bachelor and live near her, always to be at her command, and have an -understood though never fully expressed passion for her, which would be -sending out lambent flames every now and then in interesting scenes. -His departure had been a proportionate disappointment, and had sadly -increased her weariness of Middlemarch; but at first she had the -alternative dream of pleasures in store from her intercourse with the -family at Quallingham. Since then the troubles of her married life had -deepened, and the absence of other relief encouraged her regretful -rumination over that thin romance which she had once fed on. Men and -women make sad mistakes about their own symptoms, taking their vague -uneasy longings, sometimes for genius, sometimes for religion, and -oftener still for a mighty love. Will Ladislaw had written chatty -letters, half to her and half to Lydgate, and she had replied: their -separation, she felt, was not likely to be final, and the change she -now most longed for was that Lydgate should go to live in London; -everything would be agreeable in London; and she had set to work with -quiet determination to win this result, when there came a sudden, -delightful promise which inspirited her. - -It came shortly before the memorable meeting at the town-hall, and was -nothing less than a letter from Will Ladislaw to Lydgate, which turned -indeed chiefly on his new interest in plans of colonization, but -mentioned incidentally, that he might find it necessary to pay a visit -to Middlemarch within the next few weeksa very pleasant necessity, he -said, almost as good as holidays to a schoolboy. He hoped there was his -old place on the rug, and a great deal of music in store for him. But -he was quite uncertain as to the time. While Lydgate was reading the -letter to Rosamond, her face looked like a reviving flowerit grew -prettier and more blooming. There was nothing unendurable now: the -debts were paid, Mr. Ladislaw was coming, and Lydgate would be -persuaded to leave Middlemarch and settle in London, which was so -different from a provincial town. - -That was a bright bit of morning. But soon the sky became black over -poor Rosamond. The presence of a new gloom in her husband, about which -he was entirely reserved towards herfor he dreaded to expose his -lacerated feeling to her neutrality and misconceptionsoon received a -painfully strange explanation, alien to all her previous notions of -what could affect her happiness. In the new gayety of her spirits, -thinking that Lydgate had merely a worse fit of moodiness than usual, -causing him to leave her remarks unanswered, and evidently to keep out -of her way as much as possible, she chose, a few days after the -meeting, and without speaking to him on the subject, to send out notes -of invitation for a small evening party, feeling convinced that this -was a judicious step, since people seemed to have been keeping aloof -from them, and wanted restoring to the old habit of intercourse. When -the invitations had been accepted, she would tell Lydgate, and give him -a wise admonition as to how a medical man should behave to his -neighbors; for Rosamond had the gravest little airs possible about -other peoples duties. But all the invitations were declined, and the -last answer came into Lydgates hands. - -This is Chichelys scratch. What is he writing to you about? said -Lydgate, wonderingly, as he handed the note to her. She was obliged to -let him see it, and, looking at her severely, he said - -Why on earth have you been sending out invitations without telling me, -Rosamond? I beg, I insist that you will not invite any one to this -house. I suppose you have been inviting others, and they have refused -too. She said nothing. - -Do you hear me? thundered Lydgate. - -Yes, certainly I hear you, said Rosamond, turning her head aside with -the movement of a graceful long-necked bird. - -Lydgate tossed his head without any grace and walked out of the room, -feeling himself dangerous. Rosamonds thought was, that he was getting -more and more unbearablenot that there was any new special reason for -this peremptoriness. His indisposition to tell her anything in which he -was sure beforehand that she would not be interested was growing into -an unreflecting habit, and she was in ignorance of everything connected -with the thousand pounds except that the loan had come from her uncle -Bulstrode. Lydgates odious humors and their neighbors apparent -avoidance of them had an unaccountable date for her in their relief -from money difficulties. If the invitations had been accepted she would -have gone to invite her mamma and the rest, whom she had seen nothing -of for several days; and she now put on her bonnet to go and inquire -what had become of them all, suddenly feeling as if there were a -conspiracy to leave her in isolation with a husband disposed to offend -everybody. It was after the dinner hour, and she found her father and -mother seated together alone in the drawing-room. They greeted her with -sad looks, saying Well, my dear! and no more. She had never seen her -father look so downcast; and seating herself near him she said - -Is there anything the matter, papa? - -He did not answer, but Mrs. Vincy said, Oh, my dear, have you heard -nothing? It wont be long before it reaches you. - -Is it anything about Tertius? said Rosamond, turning pale. The idea -of trouble immediately connected itself with what had been -unaccountable to her in him. - -Oh, my dear, yes. To think of your marrying into this trouble. Debt -was bad enough, but this will be worse. - -Stay, stay, Lucy, said Mr. Vincy. Have you heard nothing about your -uncle Bulstrode, Rosamond? - -No, papa, said the poor thing, feeling as if trouble were not -anything she had before experienced, but some invisible power with an -iron grasp that made her soul faint within her. - -Her father told her everything, saying at the end, Its better for you -to know, my dear. I think Lydgate must leave the town. Things have gone -against him. I dare say he couldnt help it. I dont accuse him of any -harm, said Mr. Vincy. He had always before been disposed to find the -utmost fault with Lydgate. - -The shock to Rosamond was terrible. It seemed to her that no lot could -be so cruelly hard as hers to have married a man who had become the -centre of infamous suspicions. In many cases it is inevitable that the -shame is felt to be the worst part of crime; and it would have required -a great deal of disentangling reflection, such as had never entered -into Rosamonds life, for her in these moments to feel that her trouble -was less than if her husband had been certainly known to have done -something criminal. All the shame seemed to be there. And she had -innocently married this man with the belief that he and his family were -a glory to her! She showed her usual reticence to her parents, and only -said, that if Lydgate had done as she wished he would have left -Middlemarch long ago. - -She bears it beyond anything, said her mother when she was gone. - -Ah, thank God! said Mr. Vincy, who was much broken down. - -But Rosamond went home with a sense of justified repugnance towards her -husband. What had he really donehow had he really acted? She did not -know. Why had he not told her everything? He did not speak to her on -the subject, and of course she could not speak to him. It came into her -mind once that she would ask her father to let her go home again; but -dwelling on that prospect made it seem utter dreariness to her: a -married woman gone back to live with her parentslife seemed to have no -meaning for her in such a position: she could not contemplate herself -in it. - -The next two days Lydgate observed a change in her, and believed that -she had heard the bad news. Would she speak to him about it, or would -she go on forever in the silence which seemed to imply that she -believed him guilty? We must remember that he was in a morbid state of -mind, in which almost all contact was pain. Certainly Rosamond in this -case had equal reason to complain of reserve and want of confidence on -his part; but in the bitterness of his soul he excused himself;was he -not justified in shrinking from the task of telling her, since now she -knew the truth she had no impulse to speak to him? But a deeper-lying -consciousness that he was in fault made him restless, and the silence -between them became intolerable to him; it was as if they were both -adrift on one piece of wreck and looked away from each other. - -He thought, I am a fool. Havent I given up expecting anything? I have -married care, not help. And that evening he said - -Rosamond, have you heard anything that distresses you? - -Yes, she answered, laying down her work, which she had been carrying -on with a languid semi-consciousness, most unlike her usual self. - -What have you heard? - -Everything, I suppose. Papa told me. - -That people think me disgraced? - -Yes, said Rosamond, faintly, beginning to sew again automatically. - -There was silence. Lydgate thought, If she has any trust in meany -notion of what I am, she ought to speak now and say that she does not -believe I have deserved disgrace. - -But Rosamond on her side went on moving her fingers languidly. Whatever -was to be said on the subject she expected to come from Tertius. What -did she know? And if he were innocent of any wrong, why did he not do -something to clear himself? - -This silence of hers brought a new rush of gall to that bitter mood in -which Lydgate had been saying to himself that nobody believed in -himeven Farebrother had not come forward. He had begun to question her -with the intent that their conversation should disperse the chill fog -which had gathered between them, but he felt his resolution checked by -despairing resentment. Even this trouble, like the rest, she seemed to -regard as if it were hers alone. He was always to her a being apart, -doing what she objected to. He started from his chair with an angry -impulse, and thrusting his hands in his pockets, walked up and down the -room. There was an underlying consciousness all the while that he -should have to master this anger, and tell her everything, and convince -her of the facts. For he had almost learned the lesson that he must -bend himself to her nature, and that because she came short in her -sympathy, he must give the more. Soon he recurred to his intention of -opening himself: the occasion must not be lost. If he could bring her -to feel with some solemnity that here was a slander which must be met -and not run away from, and that the whole trouble had come out of his -desperate want of money, it would be a moment for urging powerfully on -her that they should be one in the resolve to do with as little money -as possible, so that they might weather the bad time and keep -themselves independent. He would mention the definite measures which he -desired to take, and win her to a willing spirit. He was bound to try -thisand what else was there for him to do? - -He did not know how long he had been walking uneasily backwards and -forwards, but Rosamond felt that it was long, and wished that he would -sit down. She too had begun to think this an opportunity for urging on -Tertius what he ought to do. Whatever might be the truth about all this -misery, there was one dread which asserted itself. - -Lydgate at last seated himself, not in his usual chair, but in one -nearer to Rosamond, leaning aside in it towards her, and looking at her -gravely before he reopened the sad subject. He had conquered himself so -far, and was about to speak with a sense of solemnity, as on an -occasion which was not to be repeated. He had even opened his lips, -when Rosamond, letting her hands fall, looked at him and said - -Surely, Tertius - -Well? - -Surely now at last you have given up the idea of staying in -Middlemarch. I cannot go on living here. Let us go to London. Papa, and -every one else, says you had better go. Whatever misery I have to put -up with, it will be easier away from here. - -Lydgate felt miserably jarred. Instead of that critical outpouring for -which he had prepared himself with effort, here was the old round to be -gone through again. He could not bear it. With a quick change of -countenance he rose and went out of the room. - -Perhaps if he had been strong enough to persist in his determination to -be the more because she was less, that evening might have had a better -issue. If his energy could have borne down that check, he might still -have wrought on Rosamonds vision and will. We cannot be sure that any -natures, however inflexible or peculiar, will resist this effect from a -more massive being than their own. They may be taken by storm and for -the moment converted, becoming part of the soul which enwraps them in -the ardor of its movement. But poor Lydgate had a throbbing pain within -him, and his energy had fallen short of its task. - -The beginning of mutual understanding and resolve seemed as far off as -ever; nay, it seemed blocked out by the sense of unsuccessful effort. -They lived on from day to day with their thoughts still apart, Lydgate -going about what work he had in a mood of despair, and Rosamond -feeling, with some justification, that he was behaving cruelly. It was -of no use to say anything to Tertius; but when Will Ladislaw came, she -was determined to tell him everything. In spite of her general -reticence, she needed some one who would recognize her wrongs. - - - - -CHAPTER LXXVI. - -To mercy, pity, peace, and love - All pray in their distress, -And to these virtues of delight, - Return their thankfulness. -. . . . . . -For Mercy has a human heart, - Pity a human face; -And Love, the human form divine; - And Peace, the human dress. -WILLIAM BLAKE: _Songs of Innocence_. - - -Some days later, Lydgate was riding to Lowick Manor, in consequence of -a summons from Dorothea. The summons had not been unexpected, since it -had followed a letter from Mr. Bulstrode, in which he stated that he -had resumed his arrangements for quitting Middlemarch, and must remind -Lydgate of his previous communications about the Hospital, to the -purport of which he still adhered. It had been his duty, before taking -further steps, to reopen the subject with Mrs. Casaubon, who now -wished, as before, to discuss the question with Lydgate. Your views -may possibly have undergone some change, wrote Mr. Bulstrode; but, in -that case also, it is desirable that you should lay them before her. - -Dorothea awaited his arrival with eager interest. Though, in deference -to her masculine advisers, she had refrained from what Sir James had -called interfering in this Bulstrode business, the hardship of -Lydgates position was continually in her mind, and when Bulstrode -applied to her again about the hospital, she felt that the opportunity -was come to her which she had been hindered from hastening. In her -luxurious home, wandering under the boughs of her own great trees, her -thought was going out over the lot of others, and her emotions were -imprisoned. The idea of some active good within her reach, haunted her -like a passion, and anothers need having once come to her as a -distinct image, preoccupied her desire with the yearning to give -relief, and made her own ease tasteless. She was full of confident hope -about this interview with Lydgate, never heeding what was said of his -personal reserve; never heeding that she was a very young woman. -Nothing could have seemed more irrelevant to Dorothea than insistence -on her youth and sex when she was moved to show her human fellowship. - -As she sat waiting in the library, she could do nothing but live -through again all the past scenes which had brought Lydgate into her -memories. They all owed their significance to her marriage and its -troublesbut no; there were two occasions in which the image of Lydgate -had come painfully in connection with his wife and some one else. The -pain had been allayed for Dorothea, but it had left in her an awakened -conjecture as to what Lydgates marriage might be to him, a -susceptibility to the slightest hint about Mrs. Lydgate. These thoughts -were like a drama to her, and made her eyes bright, and gave an -attitude of suspense to her whole frame, though she was only looking -out from the brown library on to the turf and the bright green buds -which stood in relief against the dark evergreens. - -When Lydgate came in, she was almost shocked at the change in his face, -which was strikingly perceptible to her who had not seen him for two -months. It was not the change of emaciation, but that effect which even -young faces will very soon show from the persistent presence of -resentment and despondency. Her cordial look, when she put out her hand -to him, softened his expression, but only with melancholy. - -I have wished very much to see you for a long while, Mr. Lydgate, -said Dorothea when they were seated opposite each other; but I put off -asking you to come until Mr. Bulstrode applied to me again about the -Hospital. I know that the advantage of keeping the management of it -separate from that of the Infirmary depends on you, or, at least, on -the good which you are encouraged to hope for from having it under your -control. And I am sure you will not refuse to tell me exactly what you -think. - -You want to decide whether you should give a generous support to the -Hospital, said Lydgate. I cannot conscientiously advise you to do it -in dependence on any activity of mine. I may be obliged to leave the -town. - -He spoke curtly, feeling the ache of despair as to his being able to -carry out any purpose that Rosamond had set her mind against. - -Not because there is no one to believe in you? said Dorothea, pouring -out her words in clearness from a full heart. I know the unhappy -mistakes about you. I knew them from the first moment to be mistakes. -You have never done anything vile. You would not do anything -dishonorable. - -It was the first assurance of belief in him that had fallen on -Lydgates ears. He drew a deep breath, and said, Thank you. He could -say no more: it was something very new and strange in his life that -these few words of trust from a woman should be so much to him. - -I beseech you to tell me how everything was, said Dorothea, -fearlessly. I am sure that the truth would clear you. - -Lydgate started up from his chair and went towards the window, -forgetting where he was. He had so often gone over in his mind the -possibility of explaining everything without aggravating appearances -that would tell, perhaps unfairly, against Bulstrode, and had so often -decided against ithe had so often said to himself that his assertions -would not change peoples impressionsthat Dorotheas words sounded -like a temptation to do something which in his soberness he had -pronounced to be unreasonable. - -Tell me, pray, said Dorothea, with simple earnestness; then we can -consult together. It is wicked to let people think evil of any one -falsely, when it can be hindered. - -Lydgate turned, remembering where he was, and saw Dorotheas face -looking up at him with a sweet trustful gravity. The presence of a -noble nature, generous in its wishes, ardent in its charity, changes -the lights for us: we begin to see things again in their larger, -quieter masses, and to believe that we too can be seen and judged in -the wholeness of our character. That influence was beginning to act on -Lydgate, who had for many days been seeing all life as one who is -dragged and struggling amid the throng. He sat down again, and felt -that he was recovering his old self in the consciousness that he was -with one who believed in it. - -I dont want, he said, to bear hard on Bulstrode, who has lent me -money of which I was in needthough I would rather have gone without it -now. He is hunted down and miserable, and has only a poor thread of -life in him. But I should like to tell you everything. It will be a -comfort to me to speak where belief has gone beforehand, and where I -shall not seem to be offering assertions of my own honesty. You will -feel what is fair to another, as you feel what is fair to me. - -Do trust me, said Dorothea; I will not repeat anything without your -leave. But at the very least, I could say that you have made all the -circumstances clear to me, and that I know you are not in any way -guilty. Mr. Farebrother would believe me, and my uncle, and Sir James -Chettam. Nay, there are persons in Middlemarch to whom I could go; -although they dont know much of me, they would believe me. They would -know that I could have no other motive than truth and justice. I would -take any pains to clear you. I have very little to do. There is nothing -better that I can do in the world. - -Dorotheas voice, as she made this childlike picture of what she would -do, might have been almost taken as a proof that she could do it -effectively. The searching tenderness of her womans tones seemed made -for a defence against ready accusers. Lydgate did not stay to think -that she was Quixotic: he gave himself up, for the first time in his -life, to the exquisite sense of leaning entirely on a generous -sympathy, without any check of proud reserve. And he told her -everything, from the time when, under the pressure of his difficulties, -he unwillingly made his first application to Bulstrode; gradually, in -the relief of speaking, getting into a more thorough utterance of what -had gone on in his mindentering fully into the fact that his treatment -of the patient was opposed to the dominant practice, into his doubts at -the last, his ideal of medical duty, and his uneasy consciousness that -the acceptance of the money had made some difference in his private -inclination and professional behavior, though not in his fulfilment of -any publicly recognized obligation. - -It has come to my knowledge since, he added, that Hawley sent some -one to examine the housekeeper at Stone Court, and she said that she -gave the patient all the opium in the phial I left, as well as a good -deal of brandy. But that would not have been opposed to ordinary -prescriptions, even of first-rate men. The suspicions against me had no -hold there: they are grounded on the knowledge that I took money, that -Bulstrode had strong motives for wishing the man to die, and that he -gave me the money as a bribe to concur in some malpractices or other -against the patientthat in any case I accepted a bribe to hold my -tongue. They are just the suspicions that cling the most obstinately, -because they lie in peoples inclination and can never be disproved. -How my orders came to be disobeyed is a question to which I dont know -the answer. It is still possible that Bulstrode was innocent of any -criminal intentioneven possible that he had nothing to do with the -disobedience, and merely abstained from mentioning it. But all that has -nothing to do with the public belief. It is one of those cases on which -a man is condemned on the ground of his characterit is believed that -he has committed a crime in some undefined way, because he had the -motive for doing it; and Bulstrodes character has enveloped me, -because I took his money. I am simply blightedlike a damaged ear of -cornthe business is done and cant be undone. - -Oh, it is hard! said Dorothea. I understand the difficulty there is -in your vindicating yourself. And that all this should have come to you -who had meant to lead a higher life than the common, and to find out -better waysI cannot bear to rest in this as unchangeable. I know you -meant that. I remember what you said to me when you first spoke to me -about the hospital. There is no sorrow I have thought more about than -thatto love what is great, and try to reach it, and yet to fail. - -Yes, said Lydgate, feeling that here he had found room for the full -meaning of his grief. I had some ambition. I meant everything to be -different with me. I thought I had more strength and mastery. But the -most terrible obstacles are such as nobody can see except oneself. - -Suppose, said Dorothea, meditatively,suppose we kept on the -Hospital according to the present plan, and you stayed here though only -with the friendship and support of a few, the evil feeling towards you -would gradually die out; there would come opportunities in which people -would be forced to acknowledge that they had been unjust to you, -because they would see that your purposes were pure. You may still win -a great fame like the Louis and Laennec I have heard you speak of, and -we shall all be proud of you, she ended, with a smile. - -That might do if I had my old trust in myself, said Lydgate, -mournfully. Nothing galls me more than the notion of turning round and -running away before this slander, leaving it unchecked behind me. -Still, I cant ask any one to put a great deal of money into a plan -which depends on me. - -It would be quite worth my while, said Dorothea, simply. Only think. -I am very uncomfortable with my money, because they tell me I have too -little for any great scheme of the sort I like best, and yet I have too -much. I dont know what to do. I have seven hundred a-year of my own -fortune, and nineteen hundred a-year that Mr. Casaubon left me, and -between three and four thousand of ready money in the bank. I wished to -raise money and pay it off gradually out of my income which I dont -want, to buy land with and found a village which should be a school of -industry; but Sir James and my uncle have convinced me that the risk -would be too great. So you see that what I should most rejoice at would -be to have something good to do with my money: I should like it to make -other peoples lives better to them. It makes me very uneasycoming all -to me who dont want it. - -A smile broke through the gloom of Lydgates face. The childlike -grave-eyed earnestness with which Dorothea said all this was -irresistibleblent into an adorable whole with her ready understanding -of high experience. (Of lower experience such as plays a great part in -the world, poor Mrs. Casaubon had a very blurred shortsighted -knowledge, little helped by her imagination.) But she took the smile as -encouragement of her plan. - -I think you see now that you spoke too scrupulously, she said, in a -tone of persuasion. The hospital would be one good; and making your -life quite whole and well again would be another. - -Lydgates smile had died away. You have the goodness as well as the -money to do all that; if it could be done, he said. But - -He hesitated a little while, looking vaguely towards the window; and -she sat in silent expectation. At last he turned towards her and said -impetuously - -Why should I not tell you?you know what sort of bond marriage is. You -will understand everything. - -Dorothea felt her heart beginning to beat faster. Had he that sorrow -too? But she feared to say any word, and he went on immediately. - -It is impossible for me now to do anythingto take any step without -considering my wifes happiness. The thing that I might like to do if I -were alone, is become impossible to me. I cant see her miserable. She -married me without knowing what she was going into, and it might have -been better for her if she had not married me. - -I know, I knowyou could not give her pain, if you were not obliged to -do it, said Dorothea, with keen memory of her own life. - -And she has set her mind against staying. She wishes to go. The -troubles she has had here have wearied her, said Lydgate, breaking off -again, lest he should say too much. - -But when she saw the good that might come of staying said Dorothea, -remonstrantly, looking at Lydgate as if he had forgotten the reasons -which had just been considered. He did not speak immediately. - -She would not see it, he said at last, curtly, feeling at first that -this statement must do without explanation. And, indeed, I have lost -all spirit about carrying on my life here. He paused a moment and -then, following the impulse to let Dorothea see deeper into the -difficulty of his life, he said, The fact is, this trouble has come -upon her confusedly. We have not been able to speak to each other about -it. I am not sure what is in her mind about it: she may fear that I -have really done something base. It is my fault; I ought to be more -open. But I have been suffering cruelly. - -May I go and see her? said Dorothea, eagerly. Would she accept my -sympathy? I would tell her that you have not been blamable before any -ones judgment but your own. I would tell her that you shall be cleared -in every fair mind. I would cheer her heart. Will you ask her if I may -go to see her? I did see her once. - -I am sure you may, said Lydgate, seizing the proposition with some -hope. She would feel honoredcheered, I think, by the proof that you -at least have some respect for me. I will not speak to her about your -comingthat she may not connect it with my wishes at all. I know very -well that I ought not to have left anything to be told her by others, -but - -He broke off, and there was a moments silence. Dorothea refrained from -saying what was in her mindhow well she knew that there might be -invisible barriers to speech between husband and wife. This was a point -on which even sympathy might make a wound. She returned to the more -outward aspect of Lydgates position, saying cheerfully - -And if Mrs. Lydgate knew that there were friends who would believe in -you and support you, she might then be glad that you should stay in -your place and recover your hopesand do what you meant to do. Perhaps -then you would see that it was right to agree with what I proposed -about your continuing at the Hospital. Surely you would, if you still -have faith in it as a means of making your knowledge useful? - -Lydgate did not answer, and she saw that he was debating with himself. - -You need not decide immediately, she said, gently. A few days hence -it will be early enough for me to send my answer to Mr. Bulstrode. - -Lydgate still waited, but at last turned to speak in his most decisive -tones. - -No; I prefer that there should be no interval left for wavering. I am -no longer sure enough of myselfI mean of what it would be possible for -me to do under the changed circumstances of my life. It would be -dishonorable to let others engage themselves to anything serious in -dependence on me. I might be obliged to go away after all; I see little -chance of anything else. The whole thing is too problematic; I cannot -consent to be the cause of your goodness being wasted. Nolet the new -Hospital be joined with the old Infirmary, and everything go on as it -might have done if I had never come. I have kept a valuable register -since I have been there; I shall send it to a man who will make use of -it, he ended bitterly. I can think of nothing for a long while but -getting an income. - -It hurts me very much to hear you speak so hopelessly, said Dorothea. -It would be a happiness to your friends, who believe in your future, -in your power to do great things, if you would let them save you from -that. Think how much money I have; it would be like taking a burthen -from me if you took some of it every year till you got free from this -fettering want of income. Why should not people do these things? It is -so difficult to make shares at all even. This is one way. - -God bless you, Mrs. Casaubon! said Lydgate, rising as if with the -same impulse that made his words energetic, and resting his arm on the -back of the great leather chair he had been sitting in. It is good -that you should have such feelings. But I am not the man who ought to -allow himself to benefit by them. I have not given guarantees enough. I -must not at least sink into the degradation of being pensioned for work -that I never achieved. It is very clear to me that I must not count on -anything else than getting away from Middlemarch as soon as I can -manage it. I should not be able for a long while, at the very best, to -get an income here, andand it is easier to make necessary changes in a -new place. I must do as other men do, and think what will please the -world and bring in money; look for a little opening in the London -crowd, and push myself; set up in a watering-place, or go to some -southern town where there are plenty of idle English, and get myself -puffed,that is the sort of shell I must creep into and try to keep my -soul alive in. - -Now that is not brave, said Dorothea,to give up the fight. - -No, it is not brave, said Lydgate, but if a man is afraid of -creeping paralysis? Then, in another tone, Yet you have made a great -difference in my courage by believing in me. Everything seems more -bearable since I have talked to you; and if you can clear me in a few -other minds, especially in Farebrothers, I shall be deeply grateful. -The point I wish you not to mention is the fact of disobedience to my -orders. That would soon get distorted. After all, there is no evidence -for me but peoples opinion of me beforehand. You can only repeat my -own report of myself. - -Mr. Farebrother will believeothers will believe, said Dorothea. I -can say of you what will make it stupidity to suppose that you would be -bribed to do a wickedness. - -I dont know, said Lydgate, with something like a groan in his voice. -I have not taken a bribe yet. But there is a pale shade of bribery -which is sometimes called prosperity. You will do me another great -kindness, then, and come to see my wife? - -Yes, I will. I remember how pretty she is, said Dorothea, into whose -mind every impression about Rosamond had cut deep. I hope she will -like me. - -As Lydgate rode away, he thought, This young creature has a heart -large enough for the Virgin Mary. She evidently thinks nothing of her -own future, and would pledge away half her income at once, as if she -wanted nothing for herself but a chair to sit in from which she can -look down with those clear eyes at the poor mortals who pray to her. -She seems to have what I never saw in any woman beforea fountain of -friendship towards mena man can make a friend of her. Casaubon must -have raised some heroic hallucination in her. I wonder if she could -have any other sort of passion for a man? Ladislaw?there was certainly -an unusual feeling between them. And Casaubon must have had a notion of -it. Wellher love might help a man more than her money. - -Dorothea on her side had immediately formed a plan of relieving Lydgate -from his obligation to Bulstrode, which she felt sure was a part, -though small, of the galling pressure he had to bear. She sat down at -once under the inspiration of their interview, and wrote a brief note, -in which she pleaded that she had more claim than Mr. Bulstrode had to -the satisfaction of providing the money which had been serviceable to -Lydgatethat it would be unkind in Lydgate not to grant her the -position of being his helper in this small matter, the favor being -entirely to her who had so little that was plainly marked out for her -to do with her superfluous money. He might call her a creditor or by -any other name if it did but imply that he granted her request. She -enclosed a check for a thousand pounds, and determined to take the -letter with her the next day when she went to see Rosamond. - - - - -CHAPTER LXXVII. - -And thus thy fall hath left a kind of blot, -To mark the full-fraught man and best indued -With some suspicion. -_Henry V_. - - -The next day Lydgate had to go to Brassing, and told Rosamond that he -should be away until the evening. Of late she had never gone beyond her -own house and garden, except to church, and once to see her papa, to -whom she said, If Tertius goes away, you will help us to move, will -you not, papa? I suppose we shall have very little money. I am sure I -hope some one will help us. And Mr. Vincy had said, Yes, child, I -dont mind a hundred or two. I can see the end of that. With these -exceptions she had sat at home in languid melancholy and suspense, -fixing her mind on Will Ladislaws coming as the one point of hope and -interest, and associating this with some new urgency on Lydgate to make -immediate arrangements for leaving Middlemarch and going to London, -till she felt assured that the coming would be a potent cause of the -going, without at all seeing how. This way of establishing sequences is -too common to be fairly regarded as a peculiar folly in Rosamond. And -it is precisely this sort of sequence which causes the greatest shock -when it is sundered: for to see how an effect may be produced is often -to see possible missings and checks; but to see nothing except the -desirable cause, and close upon it the desirable effect, rids us of -doubt and makes our minds strongly intuitive. That was the process -going on in poor Rosamond, while she arranged all objects around her -with the same nicety as ever, only with more slownessor sat down to -the piano, meaning to play, and then desisting, yet lingering on the -music stool with her white fingers suspended on the wooden front, and -looking before her in dreamy ennui. Her melancholy had become so marked -that Lydgate felt a strange timidity before it, as a perpetual silent -reproach, and the strong man, mastered by his keen sensibilities -towards this fair fragile creature whose life he seemed somehow to have -bruised, shrank from her look, and sometimes started at her approach, -fear of her and fear for her rushing in only the more forcibly after it -had been momentarily expelled by exasperation. - -But this morning Rosamond descended from her room upstairswhere she -sometimes sat the whole day when Lydgate was outequipped for a walk in -the town. She had a letter to posta letter addressed to Mr. Ladislaw -and written with charming discretion, but intended to hasten his -arrival by a hint of trouble. The servant-maid, their sole -house-servant now, noticed her coming down-stairs in her walking dress, -and thought there never did anybody look so pretty in a bonnet poor -thing. - -Meanwhile Dorotheas mind was filled with her project of going to -Rosamond, and with the many thoughts, both of the past and the probable -future, which gathered round the idea of that visit. Until yesterday -when Lydgate had opened to her a glimpse of some trouble in his married -life, the image of Mrs. Lydgate had always been associated for her with -that of Will Ladislaw. Even in her most uneasy momentseven when she -had been agitated by Mrs. Cadwalladers painfully graphic report of -gossipher effort, nay, her strongest impulsive prompting, had been -towards the vindication of Will from any sullying surmises; and when, -in her meeting with him afterwards, she had at first interpreted his -words as a probable allusion to a feeling towards Mrs. Lydgate which he -was determined to cut himself off from indulging, she had had a quick, -sad, excusing vision of the charm there might be in his constant -opportunities of companionship with that fair creature, who most likely -shared his other tastes as she evidently did his delight in music. But -there had followed his parting wordsthe few passionate words in which -he had implied that she herself was the object of whom his love held -him in dread, that it was his love for her only which he was resolved -not to declare but to carry away into banishment. From the time of that -parting, Dorothea, believing in Wills love for her, believing with a -proud delight in his delicate sense of honor and his determination that -no one should impeach him justly, felt her heart quite at rest as to -the regard he might have for Mrs. Lydgate. She was sure that the regard -was blameless. - -There are natures in which, if they love us, we are conscious of having -a sort of baptism and consecration: they bind us over to rectitude and -purity by their pure belief about us; and our sins become that worst -kind of sacrilege which tears down the invisible altar of trust. If -you are not good, none is goodthose little words may give a terrific -meaning to responsibility, may hold a vitriolic intensity for remorse. - -Dorotheas nature was of that kind: her own passionate faults lay along -the easily counted open channels of her ardent character; and while she -was full of pity for the visible mistakes of others, she had not yet -any material within her experience for subtle constructions and -suspicions of hidden wrong. But that simplicity of hers, holding up an -ideal for others in her believing conception of them, was one of the -great powers of her womanhood. And it had from the first acted strongly -on Will Ladislaw. He felt, when he parted from her, that the brief -words by which he had tried to convey to her his feeling about herself -and the division which her fortune made between them, would only profit -by their brevity when Dorothea had to interpret them: he felt that in -her mind he had found his highest estimate. - -And he was right there. In the months since their parting Dorothea had -felt a delicious though sad repose in their relation to each other, as -one which was inwardly whole and without blemish. She had an active -force of antagonism within her, when the antagonism turned on the -defence either of plans or persons that she believed in; and the wrongs -which she felt that Will had received from her husband, and the -external conditions which to others were grounds for slighting him, -only gave the more tenacity to her affection and admiring judgment. And -now with the disclosures about Bulstrode had come another fact -affecting Wills social position, which roused afresh Dorotheas inward -resistance to what was said about him in that part of her world which -lay within park palings. - -Young Ladislaw the grandson of a thieving Jew pawnbroker was a phrase -which had entered emphatically into the dialogues about the Bulstrode -business, at Lowick, Tipton, and Freshitt, and was a worse kind of -placard on poor Wills back than the Italian with white mice. Upright -Sir James Chettam was convinced that his own satisfaction was righteous -when he thought with some complacency that here was an added league to -that mountainous distance between Ladislaw and Dorothea, which enabled -him to dismiss any anxiety in that direction as too absurd. And perhaps -there had been some pleasure in pointing Mr. Brookes attention to this -ugly bit of Ladislaws genealogy, as a fresh candle for him to see his -own folly by. Dorothea had observed the animus with which Wills part -in the painful story had been recalled more than once; but she had -uttered no word, being checked now, as she had not been formerly in -speaking of Will, by the consciousness of a deeper relation between -them which must always remain in consecrated secrecy. But her silence -shrouded her resistant emotion into a more thorough glow; and this -misfortune in Wills lot which, it seemed, others were wishing to fling -at his back as an opprobrium, only gave something more of enthusiasm to -her clinging thought. - -She entertained no visions of their ever coming into nearer union, and -yet she had taken no posture of renunciation. She had accepted her -whole relation to Will very simply as part of her marriage sorrows, and -would have thought it very sinful in her to keep up an inward wail -because she was not completely happy, being rather disposed to dwell on -the superfluities of her lot. She could bear that the chief pleasures -of her tenderness should lie in memory, and the idea of marriage came -to her solely as a repulsive proposition from some suitor of whom she -at present knew nothing, but whose merits, as seen by her friends, -would be a source of torment to her:somebody who will manage your -property for you, my dear, was Mr. Brookes attractive suggestion of -suitable characteristics. I should like to manage it myself, if I knew -what to do with it, said Dorothea. Noshe adhered to her declaration -that she would never be married again, and in the long valley of her -life which looked so flat and empty of waymarks, guidance would come as -she walked along the road, and saw her fellow-passengers by the way. - -This habitual state of feeling about Will Ladislaw had been strong in -all her waking hours since she had proposed to pay a visit to Mrs. -Lydgate, making a sort of background against which she saw Rosamonds -figure presented to her without hindrances to her interest and -compassion. There was evidently some mental separation, some barrier to -complete confidence which had arisen between this wife and the husband -who had yet made her happiness a law to him. That was a trouble which -no third person must directly touch. But Dorothea thought with deep -pity of the loneliness which must have come upon Rosamond from the -suspicions cast on her husband; and there would surely be help in the -manifestation of respect for Lydgate and sympathy with her. - -I shall talk to her about her husband, thought Dorothea, as she was -being driven towards the town. The clear spring morning, the scent of -the moist earth, the fresh leaves just showing their creased-up wealth -of greenery from out their half-opened sheaths, seemed part of the -cheerfulness she was feeling from a long conversation with Mr. -Farebrother, who had joyfully accepted the justifying explanation of -Lydgates conduct. I shall take Mrs. Lydgate good news, and perhaps -she will like to talk to me and make a friend of me. - -Dorothea had another errand in Lowick Gate: it was about a new -fine-toned bell for the school-house, and as she had to get out of her -carriage very near to Lydgates, she walked thither across the street, -having told the coachman to wait for some packages. The street door was -open, and the servant was taking the opportunity of looking out at the -carriage which was pausing within sight when it became apparent to her -that the lady who belonged to it was coming towards her. - -Is Mrs. Lydgate at home? said Dorothea. - -Im not sure, my lady; Ill see, if youll please to walk in, said -Martha, a little confused on the score of her kitchen apron, but -collected enough to be sure that mum was not the right title for this -queenly young widow with a carriage and pair. Will you please to walk -in, and Ill go and see. - -Say that I am Mrs. Casaubon, said Dorothea, as Martha moved forward -intending to show her into the drawing-room and then to go up-stairs to -see if Rosamond had returned from her walk. - -They crossed the broader part of the entrance-hall, and turned up the -passage which led to the garden. The drawing-room door was unlatched, -and Martha, pushing it without looking into the room, waited for Mrs. -Casaubon to enter and then turned away, the door having swung open and -swung back again without noise. - -Dorothea had less of outward vision than usual this morning, being -filled with images of things as they had been and were going to be. She -found herself on the other side of the door without seeing anything -remarkable, but immediately she heard a voice speaking in low tones -which startled her as with a sense of dreaming in daylight, and -advancing unconsciously a step or two beyond the projecting slab of a -bookcase, she saw, in the terrible illumination of a certainty which -filled up all outlines, something which made her pause, motionless, -without self-possession enough to speak. - -Seated with his back towards her on a sofa which stood against the wall -on a line with the door by which she had entered, she saw Will -Ladislaw: close by him and turned towards him with a flushed -tearfulness which gave a new brilliancy to her face sat Rosamond, her -bonnet hanging back, while Will leaning towards her clasped both her -upraised hands in his and spoke with low-toned fervor. - -Rosamond in her agitated absorption had not noticed the silently -advancing figure; but when Dorothea, after the first immeasurable -instant of this vision, moved confusedly backward and found herself -impeded by some piece of furniture, Rosamond was suddenly aware of her -presence, and with a spasmodic movement snatched away her hands and -rose, looking at Dorothea who was necessarily arrested. Will Ladislaw, -starting up, looked round also, and meeting Dorotheas eyes with a new -lightning in them, seemed changing to marble. But she immediately -turned them away from him to Rosamond and said in a firm voice - -Excuse me, Mrs. Lydgate, the servant did not know that you were here. -I called to deliver an important letter for Mr. Lydgate, which I wished -to put into your own hands. - -She laid down the letter on the small table which had checked her -retreat, and then including Rosamond and Will in one distant glance and -bow, she went quickly out of the room, meeting in the passage the -surprised Martha, who said she was sorry the mistress was not at home, -and then showed the strange lady out with an inward reflection that -grand people were probably more impatient than others. - -Dorothea walked across the street with her most elastic step and was -quickly in her carriage again. - -Drive on to Freshitt Hall, she said to the coachman, and any one -looking at her might have thought that though she was paler than usual -she was never animated by a more self-possessed energy. And that was -really her experience. It was as if she had drunk a great draught of -scorn that stimulated her beyond the susceptibility to other feelings. -She had seen something so far below her belief, that her emotions -rushed back from it and made an excited throng without an object. She -needed something active to turn her excitement out upon. She felt power -to walk and work for a day, without meat or drink. And she would carry -out the purpose with which she had started in the morning, of going to -Freshitt and Tipton to tell Sir James and her uncle all that she wished -them to know about Lydgate, whose married loneliness under his trial -now presented itself to her with new significance, and made her more -ardent in readiness to be his champion. She had never felt anything -like this triumphant power of indignation in the struggle of her -married life, in which there had always been a quickly subduing pang; -and she took it as a sign of new strength. - -Dodo, how very bright your eyes are! said Celia, when Sir James was -gone out of the room. And you dont see anything you look at, Arthur -or anything. You are going to do something uncomfortable, I know. Is it -all about Mr. Lydgate, or has something else happened? Celia had been -used to watch her sister with expectation. - -Yes, dear, a great many things have happened, said Dodo, in her full -tones. - -I wonder what, said Celia, folding her arms cozily and leaning -forward upon them. - -Oh, all the troubles of all people on the face of the earth, said -Dorothea, lifting her arms to the back of her head. - -Dear me, Dodo, are you going to have a scheme for them? said Celia, a -little uneasy at this Hamlet-like raving. - -But Sir James came in again, ready to accompany Dorothea to the Grange, -and she finished her expedition well, not swerving in her resolution -until she descended at her own door. - - - - -CHAPTER LXXVIII. - -Would it were yesterday and I i the grave, -With her sweet faith above for monument. - - -Rosamond and Will stood motionlessthey did not know how longhe -looking towards the spot where Dorothea had stood, and she looking -towards him with doubt. It seemed an endless time to Rosamond, in whose -inmost soul there was hardly so much annoyance as gratification from -what had just happened. Shallow natures dream of an easy sway over the -emotions of others, trusting implicitly in their own petty magic to -turn the deepest streams, and confident, by pretty gestures and -remarks, of making the thing that is not as though it were. She knew -that Will had received a severe blow, but she had been little used to -imagining other peoples states of mind except as a material cut into -shape by her own wishes; and she believed in her own power to soothe or -subdue. Even Tertius, that most perverse of men, was always subdued in -the long-run: events had been obstinate, but still Rosamond would have -said now, as she did before her marriage, that she never gave up what -she had set her mind on. - -She put out her arm and laid the tips of her fingers on Wills -coat-sleeve. - -Dont touch me! he said, with an utterance like the cut of a lash, -darting from her, and changing from pink to white and back again, as if -his whole frame were tingling with the pain of the sting. He wheeled -round to the other side of the room and stood opposite to her, with the -tips of his fingers in his pockets and his head thrown back, looking -fiercely not at Rosamond but at a point a few inches away from her. - -She was keenly offended, but the signs she made of this were such as -only Lydgate was used to interpret. She became suddenly quiet and -seated herself, untying her hanging bonnet and laying it down with her -shawl. Her little hands which she folded before her were very cold. - -It would have been safer for Will in the first instance to have taken -up his hat and gone away; but he had felt no impulse to do this; on the -contrary, he had a horrible inclination to stay and shatter Rosamond -with his anger. It seemed as impossible to bear the fatality she had -drawn down on him without venting his fury as it would be to a panther -to bear the javelin-wound without springing and biting. And yethow -could he tell a woman that he was ready to curse her? He was fuming -under a repressive law which he was forced to acknowledge: he was -dangerously poised, and Rosamonds voice now brought the decisive -vibration. In flute-like tones of sarcasm she said - -You can easily go after Mrs. Casaubon and explain your preference. - -Go after her! he burst out, with a sharp edge in his voice. Do you -think she would turn to look at me, or value any word I ever uttered to -her again at more than a dirty feather?Explain! How can a man explain -at the expense of a woman? - -You can tell her what you please, said Rosamond with more tremor. - -Do you suppose she would like me better for sacrificing you? She is -not a woman to be flattered because I made myself despicableto believe -that I must be true to her because I was a dastard to you. - -He began to move about with the restlessness of a wild animal that sees -prey but cannot reach it. Presently he burst out again - -I had no hope beforenot muchof anything better to come. But I had -one certaintythat she believed in me. Whatever people had said or done -about me, she believed in me.Thats gone! Shell never again think me -anything but a paltry pretencetoo nice to take heaven except upon -flattering conditions, and yet selling myself for any devils change by -the sly. Shell think of me as an incarnate insult to her, from the -first moment we - -Will stopped as if he had found himself grasping something that must -not be thrown and shattered. He found another vent for his rage by -snatching up Rosamonds words again, as if they were reptiles to be -throttled and flung off. - -Explain! Tell a man to explain how he dropped into hell! Explain my -preference! I never had a _preference_ for her, any more than I have a -preference for breathing. No other woman exists by the side of her. I -would rather touch her hand if it were dead, than I would touch any -other womans living. - -Rosamond, while these poisoned weapons were being hurled at her, was -almost losing the sense of her identity, and seemed to be waking into -some new terrible existence. She had no sense of chill resolute -repulsion, of reticent self-justification such as she had known under -Lydgates most stormy displeasure: all her sensibility was turned into -a bewildering novelty of pain; she felt a new terrified recoil under a -lash never experienced before. What another nature felt in opposition -to her own was being burnt and bitten into her consciousness. When Will -had ceased to speak she had become an image of sickened misery: her -lips were pale, and her eyes had a tearless dismay in them. If it had -been Tertius who stood opposite to her, that look of misery would have -been a pang to him, and he would have sunk by her side to comfort her, -with that strong-armed comfort which she had often held very cheap. - -Let it be forgiven to Will that he had no such movement of pity. He had -felt no bond beforehand to this woman who had spoiled the ideal -treasure of his life, and he held himself blameless. He knew that he -was cruel, but he had no relenting in him yet. - -After he had done speaking, he still moved about, half in absence of -mind, and Rosamond sat perfectly still. At length Will, seeming to -bethink himself, took up his hat, yet stood some moments irresolute. He -had spoken to her in a way that made a phrase of common politeness -difficult to utter; and yet, now that he had come to the point of going -away from her without further speech, he shrank from it as a brutality; -he felt checked and stultified in his anger. He walked towards the -mantel-piece and leaned his arm on it, and waited in silence forhe -hardly knew what. The vindictive fire was still burning in him, and he -could utter no word of retractation; but it was nevertheless in his -mind that having come back to this hearth where he had enjoyed a -caressing friendship he had found calamity seated therehe had had -suddenly revealed to him a trouble that lay outside the home as well as -within it. And what seemed a foreboding was pressing upon him as with -slow pincers:that his life might come to be enslaved by this helpless -woman who had thrown herself upon him in the dreary sadness of her -heart. But he was in gloomy rebellion against the fact that his quick -apprehensiveness foreshadowed to him, and when his eyes fell on -Rosamonds blighted face it seemed to him that he was the more pitiable -of the two; for pain must enter into its glorified life of memory -before it can turn into compassion. - -And so they remained for many minutes, opposite each other, far apart, -in silence; Wills face still possessed by a mute rage, and Rosamonds -by a mute misery. The poor thing had no force to fling out any passion -in return; the terrible collapse of the illusion towards which all her -hope had been strained was a stroke which had too thoroughly shaken -her: her little world was in ruins, and she felt herself tottering in -the midst as a lonely bewildered consciousness. - -Will wished that she would speak and bring some mitigating shadow -across his own cruel speech, which seemed to stand staring at them both -in mockery of any attempt at revived fellowship. But she said nothing, -and at last with a desperate effort over himself, he asked, Shall I -come in and see Lydgate this evening? - -If you like, Rosamond answered, just audibly. - -And then Will went out of the house, Martha never knowing that he had -been in. - -After he was gone, Rosamond tried to get up from her seat, but fell -back fainting. When she came to herself again, she felt too ill to make -the exertion of rising to ring the bell, and she remained helpless -until the girl, surprised at her long absence, thought for the first -time of looking for her in all the down-stairs rooms. Rosamond said -that she had felt suddenly sick and faint, and wanted to be helped -up-stairs. When there she threw herself on the bed with her clothes on, -and lay in apparent torpor, as she had done once before on a memorable -day of grief. - -Lydgate came home earlier than he had expected, about half-past five, -and found her there. The perception that she was ill threw every other -thought into the background. When he felt her pulse, her eyes rested on -him with more persistence than they had done for a long while, as if -she felt some content that he was there. He perceived the difference in -a moment, and seating himself by her put his arm gently under her, and -bending over her said, My poor Rosamond! has something agitated you? -Clinging to him she fell into hysterical sobbings and cries, and for -the next hour he did nothing but soothe and tend her. He imagined that -Dorothea had been to see her, and that all this effect on her nervous -system, which evidently involved some new turning towards himself, was -due to the excitement of the new impressions which that visit had -raised. - - - - -CHAPTER LXXIX. - -Now, I saw in my dream, that just as they had ended their talk, they -drew nigh to a very miry slough, that was in the midst of the plain; -and they, being heedless, did both fall suddenly into the bog. The name -of the slough was Despond.BUNYAN. - - -When Rosamond was quiet, and Lydgate had left her, hoping that she -might soon sleep under the effect of an anodyne, he went into the -drawing-room to fetch a book which he had left there, meaning to spend -the evening in his work-room, and he saw on the table Dorotheas letter -addressed to him. He had not ventured to ask Rosamond if Mrs. Casaubon -had called, but the reading of this letter assured him of the fact, for -Dorothea mentioned that it was to be carried by herself. - -When Will Ladislaw came in a little later Lydgate met him with a -surprise which made it clear that he had not been told of the earlier -visit, and Will could not say, Did not Mrs. Lydgate tell you that I -came this morning? - -Poor Rosamond is ill, Lydgate added immediately on his greeting. - -Not seriously, I hope, said Will. - -Noonly a slight nervous shockthe effect of some agitation. She has -been overwrought lately. The truth is, Ladislaw, I am an unlucky devil. -We have gone through several rounds of purgatory since you left, and I -have lately got on to a worse ledge of it than ever. I suppose you are -only just come downyou look rather batteredyou have not been long -enough in the town to hear anything? - -I travelled all night and got to the White Hart at eight oclock this -morning. I have been shutting myself up and resting, said Will, -feeling himself a sneak, but seeing no alternative to this evasion. - -And then he heard Lydgates account of the troubles which Rosamond had -already depicted to him in her way. She had not mentioned the fact of -Wills name being connected with the public storythis detail not -immediately affecting herand he now heard it for the first time. - -I thought it better to tell you that your name is mixed up with the -disclosures, said Lydgate, who could understand better than most men -how Ladislaw might be stung by the revelation. You will be sure to -hear it as soon as you turn out into the town. I suppose it is true -that Raffles spoke to you. - -Yes, said Will, sardonically. I shall be fortunate if gossip does -not make me the most disreputable person in the whole affair. I should -think the latest version must be, that I plotted with Raffles to murder -Bulstrode, and ran away from Middlemarch for the purpose. - -He was thinking Here is a new ring in the sound of my name to -recommend it in her hearing; howeverwhat does it signify now? - -But he said nothing of Bulstrodes offer to him. Will was very open and -careless about his personal affairs, but it was among the more -exquisite touches in natures modelling of him that he had a delicate -generosity which warned him into reticence here. He shrank from saying -that he had rejected Bulstrodes money, in the moment when he was -learning that it was Lydgates misfortune to have accepted it. - -Lydgate too was reticent in the midst of his confidence. He made no -allusion to Rosamonds feeling under their trouble, and of Dorothea he -only said, Mrs. Casaubon has been the one person to come forward and -say that she had no belief in any of the suspicions against me. -Observing a change in Wills face, he avoided any further mention of -her, feeling himself too ignorant of their relation to each other not -to fear that his words might have some hidden painful bearing on it. -And it occurred to him that Dorothea was the real cause of the present -visit to Middlemarch. - -The two men were pitying each other, but it was only Will who guessed -the extent of his companions trouble. When Lydgate spoke with -desperate resignation of going to settle in London, and said with a -faint smile, We shall have you again, old fellow, Will felt -inexpressibly mournful, and said nothing. Rosamond had that morning -entreated him to urge this step on Lydgate; and it seemed to him as if -he were beholding in a magic panorama a future where he himself was -sliding into that pleasureless yielding to the small solicitations of -circumstance, which is a commoner history of perdition than any single -momentous bargain. - -We are on a perilous margin when we begin to look passively at our -future selves, and see our own figures led with dull consent into -insipid misdoing and shabby achievement. Poor Lydgate was inwardly -groaning on that margin, and Will was arriving at it. It seemed to him -this evening as if the cruelty of his outburst to Rosamond had made an -obligation for him, and he dreaded the obligation: he dreaded Lydgates -unsuspecting good-will: he dreaded his own distaste for his spoiled -life, which would leave him in motiveless levity. - - - - -CHAPTER LXXX. - -Stern lawgiver! yet thou dost wear -The Godheads most benignant grace; -Nor know we anything so fair -As is the smile upon thy face; -Flowers laugh before thee on their beds, -And fragrance in thy footing treads; -Thou dost preserve the Stars from wrong; -And the most ancient Heavens, through thee, are fresh and strong. -WORDSWORTH: _Ode to Duty_. - - -When Dorothea had seen Mr. Farebrother in the morning, she had promised -to go and dine at the parsonage on her return from Freshitt. There was -a frequent interchange of visits between her and the Farebrother -family, which enabled her to say that she was not at all lonely at the -Manor, and to resist for the present the severe prescription of a lady -companion. When she reached home and remembered her engagement, she was -glad of it; and finding that she had still an hour before she could -dress for dinner, she walked straight to the schoolhouse and entered -into a conversation with the master and mistress about the new bell, -giving eager attention to their small details and repetitions, and -getting up a dramatic sense that her life was very busy. She paused on -her way back to talk to old Master Bunney who was putting in some -garden-seeds, and discoursed wisely with that rural sage about the -crops that would make the most return on a perch of ground, and the -result of sixty years experience as to soilsnamely, that if your soil -was pretty mellow it would do, but if there came wet, wet, wet to make -it all of a mummy, why then - -Finding that the social spirit had beguiled her into being rather late, -she dressed hastily and went over to the parsonage rather earlier than -was necessary. That house was never dull, Mr. Farebrother, like another -White of Selborne, having continually something new to tell of his -inarticulate guests and _proteges_, whom he was teaching the boys not -to torment; and he had just set up a pair of beautiful goats to be pets -of the village in general, and to walk at large as sacred animals. The -evening went by cheerfully till after tea, Dorothea talking more than -usual and dilating with Mr. Farebrother on the possible histories of -creatures that converse compendiously with their antennae, and for -aught we know may hold reformed parliaments; when suddenly some -inarticulate little sounds were heard which called everybodys -attention. - -Henrietta Noble, said Mrs. Farebrother, seeing her small sister -moving about the furniture-legs distressfully, what is the matter? - -I have lost my tortoise-shell lozenge-box. I fear the kitten has -rolled it away, said the tiny old lady, involuntarily continuing her -beaver-like notes. - -Is it a great treasure, aunt? said Mr. Farebrother, putting up his -glasses and looking at the carpet. - -Mr. Ladislaw gave it me, said Miss Noble. A German boxvery pretty, -but if it falls it always spins away as far as it can. - -Oh, if it is Ladislaws present, said Mr. Farebrother, in a deep tone -of comprehension, getting up and hunting. The box was found at last -under a chiffonier, and Miss Noble grasped it with delight, saying, it -was under a fender the last time. - -That is an affair of the heart with my aunt, said Mr. Farebrother, -smiling at Dorothea, as he reseated himself. - -If Henrietta Noble forms an attachment to any one, Mrs. Casaubon, -said his mother, emphatically,she is like a dogshe would take their -shoes for a pillow and sleep the better. - -Mr. Ladislaws shoes, I would, said Henrietta Noble. - -Dorothea made an attempt at smiling in return. She was surprised and -annoyed to find that her heart was palpitating violently, and that it -was quite useless to try after a recovery of her former animation. -Alarmed at herselffearing some further betrayal of a change so marked -in its occasion, she rose and said in a low voice with undisguised -anxiety, I must go; I have overtired myself. - -Mr. Farebrother, quick in perception, rose and said, It is true; you -must have half-exhausted yourself in talking about Lydgate. That sort -of work tells upon one after the excitement is over. - -He gave her his arm back to the Manor, but Dorothea did not attempt to -speak, even when he said good-night. - -The limit of resistance was reached, and she had sunk back helpless -within the clutch of inescapable anguish. Dismissing Tantripp with a -few faint words, she locked her door, and turning away from it towards -the vacant room she pressed her hands hard on the top of her head, and -moaned out - -Oh, I did love him! - -Then came the hour in which the waves of suffering shook her too -thoroughly to leave any power of thought. She could only cry in loud -whispers, between her sobs, after her lost belief which she had planted -and kept alive from a very little seed since the days in Romeafter her -lost joy of clinging with silent love and faith to one who, misprized -by others, was worthy in her thoughtafter her lost womans pride of -reigning in his memoryafter her sweet dim perspective of hope, that -along some pathway they should meet with unchanged recognition and take -up the backward years as a yesterday. - -In that hour she repeated what the merciful eyes of solitude have -looked on for ages in the spiritual struggles of manshe besought -hardness and coldness and aching weariness to bring her relief from the -mysterious incorporeal might of her anguish: she lay on the bare floor -and let the night grow cold around her; while her grand womans frame -was shaken by sobs as if she had been a despairing child. - -There were two imagestwo living forms that tore her heart in two, as -if it had been the heart of a mother who seems to see her child divided -by the sword, and presses one bleeding half to her breast while her -gaze goes forth in agony towards the half which is carried away by the -lying woman that has never known the mothers pang. - -Here, with the nearness of an answering smile, here within the -vibrating bond of mutual speech, was the bright creature whom she had -trustedwho had come to her like the spirit of morning visiting the dim -vault where she sat as the bride of a worn-out life; and now, with a -full consciousness which had never awakened before, she stretched out -her arms towards him and cried with bitter cries that their nearness -was a parting vision: she discovered her passion to herself in the -unshrinking utterance of despair. - -And there, aloof, yet persistently with her, moving wherever she moved, -was the Will Ladislaw who was a changed belief exhausted of hope, a -detected illusionno, a living man towards whom there could not yet -struggle any wail of regretful pity, from the midst of scorn and -indignation and jealous offended pride. The fire of Dorotheas anger -was not easily spent, and it flamed out in fitful returns of spurning -reproach. Why had he come obtruding his life into hers, hers that might -have been whole enough without him? Why had he brought his cheap regard -and his lip-born words to her who had nothing paltry to give in -exchange? He knew that he was deluding herwished, in the very moment -of farewell, to make her believe that he gave her the whole price of -her heart, and knew that he had spent it half before. Why had he not -stayed among the crowd of whom she asked nothingbut only prayed that -they might be less contemptible? - -But she lost energy at last even for her loud-whispered cries and -moans: she subsided into helpless sobs, and on the cold floor she -sobbed herself to sleep. - -In the chill hours of the morning twilight, when all was dim around -her, she awokenot with any amazed wondering where she was or what had -happened, but with the clearest consciousness that she was looking into -the eyes of sorrow. She rose, and wrapped warm things around her, and -seated herself in a great chair where she had often watched before. She -was vigorous enough to have borne that hard night without feeling ill -in body, beyond some aching and fatigue; but she had waked to a new -condition: she felt as if her soul had been liberated from its terrible -conflict; she was no longer wrestling with her grief, but could sit -down with it as a lasting companion and make it a sharer in her -thoughts. For now the thoughts came thickly. It was not in Dorotheas -nature, for longer than the duration of a paroxysm, to sit in the -narrow cell of her calamity, in the besotted misery of a consciousness -that only sees anothers lot as an accident of its own. - -She began now to live through that yesterday morning deliberately -again, forcing herself to dwell on every detail and its possible -meaning. Was she alone in that scene? Was it her event only? She forced -herself to think of it as bound up with another womans lifea woman -towards whom she had set out with a longing to carry some clearness and -comfort into her beclouded youth. In her first outleap of jealous -indignation and disgust, when quitting the hateful room, she had flung -away all the mercy with which she had undertaken that visit. She had -enveloped both Will and Rosamond in her burning scorn, and it seemed to -her as if Rosamond were burned out of her sight forever. But that base -prompting which makes a women more cruel to a rival than to a faithless -lover, could have no strength of recurrence in Dorothea when the -dominant spirit of justice within her had once overcome the tumult and -had once shown her the truer measure of things. All the active thought -with which she had before been representing to herself the trials of -Lydgates lot, and this young marriage union which, like her own, -seemed to have its hidden as well as evident troublesall this vivid -sympathetic experience returned to her now as a power: it asserted -itself as acquired knowledge asserts itself and will not let us see as -we saw in the day of our ignorance. She said to her own irremediable -grief, that it should make her more helpful, instead of driving her -back from effort. - -And what sort of crisis might not this be in three lives whose contact -with hers laid an obligation on her as if they had been suppliants -bearing the sacred branch? The objects of her rescue were not to be -sought out by her fancy: they were chosen for her. She yearned towards -the perfect Right, that it might make a throne within her, and rule her -errant will. What should I dohow should I act now, this very day, if -I could clutch my own pain, and compel it to silence, and think of -those three? - -It had taken long for her to come to that question, and there was light -piercing into the room. She opened her curtains, and looked out towards -the bit of road that lay in view, with fields beyond outside the -entrance-gates. On the road there was a man with a bundle on his back -and a woman carrying her baby; in the field she could see figures -movingperhaps the shepherd with his dog. Far off in the bending sky -was the pearly light; and she felt the largeness of the world and the -manifold wakings of men to labor and endurance. She was a part of that -involuntary, palpitating life, and could neither look out on it from -her luxurious shelter as a mere spectator, nor hide her eyes in selfish -complaining. - -What she would resolve to do that day did not yet seem quite clear, but -something that she could achieve stirred her as with an approaching -murmur which would soon gather distinctness. She took off the clothes -which seemed to have some of the weariness of a hard watching in them, -and began to make her toilet. Presently she rang for Tantripp, who came -in her dressing-gown. - -Why, madam, youve never been in bed this blessed night, burst out -Tantripp, looking first at the bed and then at Dorotheas face, which -in spite of bathing had the pale cheeks and pink eyelids of a mater -dolorosa. Youll kill yourself, you _will_. Anybody might think now -you had a right to give yourself a little comfort. - -Dont be alarmed, Tantripp, said Dorothea, smiling. I have slept; I -am not ill. I shall be glad of a cup of coffee as soon as possible. And -I want you to bring me my new dress; and most likely I shall want my -new bonnet to-day. - -Theyve lain there a month and more ready for you, madam, and most -thankful I shall be to see you with a couple o pounds worth less of -crape, said Tantripp, stooping to light the fire. Theres a reason in -mourning, as Ive always said; and three folds at the bottom of your -skirt and a plain quilling in your bonnetand if ever anybody looked -like an angel, its you in a net quillingis whats consistent for a -second year. At least, thats _my_ thinking, ended Tantripp, looking -anxiously at the fire; and if anybody was to marry me flattering -himself I should wear those hijeous weepers two years for him, hed be -deceived by his own vanity, thats all. - -The fire will do, my good Tan, said Dorothea, speaking as she used to -do in the old Lausanne days, only with a very low voice; get me the -coffee. - -She folded herself in the large chair, and leaned her head against it -in fatigued quiescence, while Tantripp went away wondering at this -strange contrariness in her young mistressthat just the morning when -she had more of a widows face than ever, she should have asked for her -lighter mourning which she had waived before. Tantripp would never have -found the clew to this mystery. Dorothea wished to acknowledge that she -had not the less an active life before her because she had buried a -private joy; and the tradition that fresh garments belonged to all -initiation, haunting her mind, made her grasp after even that slight -outward help towards calm resolve. For the resolve was not easy. - -Nevertheless at eleven oclock she was walking towards Middlemarch, -having made up her mind that she would make as quietly and unnoticeably -as possible her second attempt to see and save Rosamond. - - - - -CHAPTER LXXXI. - -Du Erde warst auch diese Nacht bestndig, -Und athmest neu erquickt zu meinen Fssen, -Beginnest schon mit Lust mich zu umgeben, -Du regst und rhrst ein krftiges Beschliessen -_Zum hchsten Dasein immerfort zu streben_. -_Faust:_ 2r Theil. - - -When Dorothea was again at Lydgates door speaking to Martha, he was in -the room close by with the door ajar, preparing to go out. He heard her -voice, and immediately came to her. - -Do you think that Mrs. Lydgate can receive me this morning? she said, -having reflected that it would be better to leave out all allusion to -her previous visit. - -I have no doubt she will, said Lydgate, suppressing his thought about -Dorotheas looks, which were as much changed as Rosamonds, if you -will be kind enough to come in and let me tell her that you are here. -She has not been very well since you were here yesterday, but she is -better this morning, and I think it is very likely that she will be -cheered by seeing you again. - -It was plain that Lydgate, as Dorothea had expected, knew nothing about -the circumstances of her yesterdays visit; nay, he appeared to imagine -that she had carried it out according to her intention. She had -prepared a little note asking Rosamond to see her, which she would have -given to the servant if he had not been in the way, but now she was in -much anxiety as to the result of his announcement. - -After leading her into the drawing-room, he paused to take a letter -from his pocket and put it into her hands, saying, I wrote this last -night, and was going to carry it to Lowick in my ride. When one is -grateful for something too good for common thanks, writing is less -unsatisfactory than speechone does not at least _hear_ how inadequate -the words are. - -Dorotheas face brightened. It is I who have most to thank for, since -you have let me take that place. You _have_ consented? she said, -suddenly doubting. - -Yes, the check is going to Bulstrode to-day. - -He said no more, but went up-stairs to Rosamond, who had but lately -finished dressing herself, and sat languidly wondering what she should -do next, her habitual industry in small things, even in the days of her -sadness, prompting her to begin some kind of occupation, which she -dragged through slowly or paused in from lack of interest. She looked -ill, but had recovered her usual quietude of manner, and Lydgate had -feared to disturb her by any questions. He had told her of Dorotheas -letter containing the check, and afterwards he had said, Ladislaw is -come, Rosy; he sat with me last night; I dare say he will be here again -to-day. I thought he looked rather battered and depressed. And -Rosamond had made no reply. - -Now, when he came up, he said to her very gently, Rosy, dear, Mrs. -Casaubon is come to see you again; you would like to see her, would you -not? That she colored and gave rather a startled movement did not -surprise him after the agitation produced by the interview yesterdaya -beneficent agitation, he thought, since it seemed to have made her turn -to him again. - -Rosamond dared not say no. She dared not with a tone of her voice touch -the facts of yesterday. Why had Mrs. Casaubon come again? The answer -was a blank which Rosamond could only fill up with dread, for Will -Ladislaws lacerating words had made every thought of Dorothea a fresh -smart to her. Nevertheless, in her new humiliating uncertainty she -dared do nothing but comply. She did not say yes, but she rose and let -Lydgate put a light shawl over her shoulders, while he said, I am -going out immediately. Then something crossed her mind which prompted -her to say, Pray tell Martha not to bring any one else into the -drawing-room. And Lydgate assented, thinking that he fully understood -this wish. He led her down to the drawing-room door, and then turned -away, observing to himself that he was rather a blundering husband to -be dependent for his wifes trust in him on the influence of another -woman. - -Rosamond, wrapping her soft shawl around her as she walked towards -Dorothea, was inwardly wrapping her soul in cold reserve. Had Mrs. -Casaubon come to say anything to her about Will? If so, it was a -liberty that Rosamond resented; and she prepared herself to meet every -word with polite impassibility. Will had bruised her pride too sorely -for her to feel any compunction towards him and Dorothea: her own -injury seemed much the greater. Dorothea was not only the preferred -woman, but had also a formidable advantage in being Lydgates -benefactor; and to poor Rosamonds pained confused vision it seemed -that this Mrs. Casaubonthis woman who predominated in all things -concerning hermust have come now with the sense of having the -advantage, and with animosity prompting her to use it. Indeed, not -Rosamond only, but any one else, knowing the outer facts of the case, -and not the simple inspiration on which Dorothea acted, might well have -wondered why she came. - -Looking like the lovely ghost of herself, her graceful slimness wrapped -in her soft white shawl, the rounded infantine mouth and cheek -inevitably suggesting mildness and innocence, Rosamond paused at three -yards distance from her visitor and bowed. But Dorothea, who had taken -off her gloves, from an impulse which she could never resist when she -wanted a sense of freedom, came forward, and with her face full of a -sad yet sweet openness, put out her hand. Rosamond could not avoid -meeting her glance, could not avoid putting her small hand into -Dorotheas, which clasped it with gentle motherliness; and immediately -a doubt of her own prepossessions began to stir within her. Rosamonds -eye was quick for faces; she saw that Mrs. Casaubons face looked pale -and changed since yesterday, yet gentle, and like the firm softness of -her hand. But Dorothea had counted a little too much on her own -strength: the clearness and intensity of her mental action this morning -were the continuance of a nervous exaltation which made her frame as -dangerously responsive as a bit of finest Venetian crystal; and in -looking at Rosamond, she suddenly found her heart swelling, and was -unable to speakall her effort was required to keep back tears. She -succeeded in that, and the emotion only passed over her face like the -spirit of a sob; but it added to Rosamonds impression that Mrs. -Casaubons state of mind must be something quite different from what -she had imagined. - -So they sat down without a word of preface on the two chairs that -happened to be nearest, and happened also to be close together; though -Rosamonds notion when she first bowed was that she should stay a long -way off from Mrs. Casaubon. But she ceased thinking how anything would -turn outmerely wondering what would come. And Dorothea began to speak -quite simply, gathering firmness as she went on. - -I had an errand yesterday which I did not finish; that is why I am -here again so soon. You will not think me too troublesome when I tell -you that I came to talk to you about the injustice that has been shown -towards Mr. Lydgate. It will cheer youwill it not?to know a great -deal about him, that he may not like to speak about himself just -because it is in his own vindication and to his own honor. You will -like to know that your husband has warm friends, who have not left off -believing in his high character? You will let me speak of this without -thinking that I take a liberty? - -The cordial, pleading tones which seemed to flow with generous -heedlessness above all the facts which had filled Rosamonds mind as -grounds of obstruction and hatred between her and this woman, came as -soothingly as a warm stream over her shrinking fears. Of course Mrs. -Casaubon had the facts in her mind, but she was not going to speak of -anything connected with them. That relief was too great for Rosamond to -feel much else at the moment. She answered prettily, in the new ease of -her soul - -I know you have been very good. I shall like to hear anything you will -say to me about Tertius. - -The day before yesterday, said Dorothea, when I had asked him to -come to Lowick to give me his opinion on the affairs of the Hospital, -he told me everything about his conduct and feelings in this sad event -which has made ignorant people cast suspicions on him. The reason he -told me was because I was very bold and asked him. I believed that he -had never acted dishonorably, and I begged him to tell me the history. -He confessed to me that he had never told it before, not even to you, -because he had a great dislike to say, I was not wrong, as if that -were proof, when there are guilty people who will say so. The truth is, -he knew nothing of this man Raffles, or that there were any bad secrets -about him; and he thought that Mr. Bulstrode offered him the money -because he repented, out of kindness, of having refused it before. All -his anxiety about his patient was to treat him rightly, and he was a -little uncomfortable that the case did not end as he had expected; but -he thought then and still thinks that there may have been no wrong in -it on any ones part. And I have told Mr. Farebrother, and Mr. Brooke, -and Sir James Chettam: they all believe in your husband. That will -cheer you, will it not? That will give you courage? - -Dorotheas face had become animated, and as it beamed on Rosamond very -close to her, she felt something like bashful timidity before a -superior, in the presence of this self-forgetful ardor. She said, with -blushing embarrassment, Thank you: you are very kind. - -And he felt that he had been so wrong not to pour out everything about -this to you. But you will forgive him. It was because he feels so much -more about your happiness than anything elsehe feels his life bound -into one with yours, and it hurts him more than anything, that his -misfortunes must hurt you. He could speak to me because I am an -indifferent person. And then I asked him if I might come to see you; -because I felt so much for his trouble and yours. That is why I came -yesterday, and why I am come to-day. Trouble is so hard to bear, is it -not? How can we live and think that any one has troublepiercing -troubleand we could help them, and never try? - -Dorothea, completely swayed by the feeling that she was uttering, -forgot everything but that she was speaking from out the heart of her -own trial to Rosamonds. The emotion had wrought itself more and more -into her utterance, till the tones might have gone to ones very -marrow, like a low cry from some suffering creature in the darkness. -And she had unconsciously laid her hand again on the little hand that -she had pressed before. - -Rosamond, with an overmastering pang, as if a wound within her had been -probed, burst into hysterical crying as she had done the day before -when she clung to her husband. Poor Dorothea was feeling a great wave -of her own sorrow returning over herher thought being drawn to the -possible share that Will Ladislaw might have in Rosamonds mental -tumult. She was beginning to fear that she should not be able to -suppress herself enough to the end of this meeting, and while her hand -was still resting on Rosamonds lap, though the hand underneath it was -withdrawn, she was struggling against her own rising sobs. She tried to -master herself with the thought that this might be a turning-point in -three livesnot in her own; no, there the irrevocable had happened, -butin those three lives which were touching hers with the solemn -neighborhood of danger and distress. The fragile creature who was -crying close to herthere might still be time to rescue her from the -misery of false incompatible bonds; and this moment was unlike any -other: she and Rosamond could never be together again with the same -thrilling consciousness of yesterday within them both. She felt the -relation between them to be peculiar enough to give her a peculiar -influence, though she had no conception that the way in which her own -feelings were involved was fully known to Mrs. Lydgate. - -It was a newer crisis in Rosamonds experience than even Dorothea could -imagine: she was under the first great shock that had shattered her -dream-world in which she had been easily confident of herself and -critical of others; and this strange unexpected manifestation of -feeling in a woman whom she had approached with a shrinking aversion -and dread, as one who must necessarily have a jealous hatred towards -her, made her soul totter all the more with a sense that she had been -walking in an unknown world which had just broken in upon her. - -When Rosamonds convulsed throat was subsiding into calm, and she -withdrew the handkerchief with which she had been hiding her face, her -eyes met Dorotheas as helplessly as if they had been blue flowers. -What was the use of thinking about behavior after this crying? And -Dorothea looked almost as childish, with the neglected trace of a -silent tear. Pride was broken down between these two. - -We were talking about your husband, Dorothea said, with some -timidity. I thought his looks were sadly changed with suffering the -other day. I had not seen him for many weeks before. He said he had -been feeling very lonely in his trial; but I think he would have borne -it all better if he had been able to be quite open with you. - -Tertius is so angry and impatient if I say anything, said Rosamond, -imagining that he had been complaining of her to Dorothea. He ought -not to wonder that I object to speak to him on painful subjects. - -It was himself he blamed for not speaking, said Dorothea. What he -said of you was, that he could not be happy in doing anything which -made you unhappythat his marriage was of course a bond which must -affect his choice about everything; and for that reason he refused my -proposal that he should keep his position at the Hospital, because that -would bind him to stay in Middlemarch, and he would not undertake to do -anything which would be painful to you. He could say that to me, -because he knows that I had much trial in my marriage, from my -husbands illness, which hindered his plans and saddened him; and he -knows that I have felt how hard it is to walk always in fear of hurting -another who is tied to us. - -Dorothea waited a little; she had discerned a faint pleasure stealing -over Rosamonds face. But there was no answer, and she went on, with a -gathering tremor, Marriage is so unlike everything else. There is -something even awful in the nearness it brings. Even if we loved some -one else better thanthan those we were married to, it would be no -usepoor Dorothea, in her palpitating anxiety, could only seize her -language brokenlyI mean, marriage drinks up all our power of giving -or getting any blessedness in that sort of love. I know it may be very -dearbut it murders our marriageand then the marriage stays with us -like a murderand everything else is gone. And then our husbandif he -loved and trusted us, and we have not helped him, but made a curse in -his life - -Her voice had sunk very low: there was a dread upon her of presuming -too far, and of speaking as if she herself were perfection addressing -error. She was too much preoccupied with her own anxiety, to be aware -that Rosamond was trembling too; and filled with the need to express -pitying fellowship rather than rebuke, she put her hands on Rosamonds, -and said with more agitated rapidity,I know, I know that the feeling -may be very dearit has taken hold of us unawaresit is so hard, it may -seem like death to part with itand we are weakI am weak - -The waves of her own sorrow, from out of which she was struggling to -save another, rushed over Dorothea with conquering force. She stopped -in speechless agitation, not crying, but feeling as if she were being -inwardly grappled. Her face had become of a deathlier paleness, her -lips trembled, and she pressed her hands helplessly on the hands that -lay under them. - -Rosamond, taken hold of by an emotion stronger than her ownhurried -along in a new movement which gave all things some new, awful, -undefined aspectcould find no words, but involuntarily she put her -lips to Dorotheas forehead which was very near her, and then for a -minute the two women clasped each other as if they had been in a -shipwreck. - -You are thinking what is not true, said Rosamond, in an eager -half-whisper, while she was still feeling Dorotheas arms round -herurged by a mysterious necessity to free herself from something that -oppressed her as if it were blood guiltiness. - -They moved apart, looking at each other. - -When you came in yesterdayit was not as you thought, said Rosamond -in the same tone. - -There was a movement of surprised attention in Dorothea. She expected a -vindication of Rosamond herself. - -He was telling me how he loved another woman, that I might know he -could never love me, said Rosamond, getting more and more hurried as -she went on. And now I think he hates me becausebecause you mistook -him yesterday. He says it is through me that you will think ill of -himthink that he is a false person. But it shall not be through me. He -has never had any love for meI know he has nothe has always thought -slightly of me. He said yesterday that no other woman existed for him -beside you. The blame of what happened is entirely mine. He said he -could never explain to youbecause of me. He said you could never think -well of him again. But now I have told you, and he cannot reproach me -any more. - -Rosamond had delivered her soul under impulses which she had not known -before. She had begun her confession under the subduing influence of -Dorotheas emotion; and as she went on she had gathered the sense that -she was repelling Wills reproaches, which were still like a -knife-wound within her. - -The revulsion of feeling in Dorothea was too strong to be called joy. -It was a tumult in which the terrible strain of the night and morning -made a resistant pain:she could only perceive that this would be joy -when she had recovered her power of feeling it. Her immediate -consciousness was one of immense sympathy without check; she cared for -Rosamond without struggle now, and responded earnestly to her last -words - -No, he cannot reproach you any more. - -With her usual tendency to over-estimate the good in others, she felt a -great outgoing of her heart towards Rosamond, for the generous effort -which had redeemed her from suffering, not counting that the effort was -a reflex of her own energy. After they had been silent a little, she -said - -You are not sorry that I came this morning? - -No, you have been very good to me, said Rosamond. I did not think -that you would be so good. I was very unhappy. I am not happy now. -Everything is so sad. - -But better days will come. Your husband will be rightly valued. And he -depends on you for comfort. He loves you best. The worst loss would be -to lose thatand you have not lost it, said Dorothea. - -She tried to thrust away the too overpowering thought of her own -relief, lest she should fail to win some sign that Rosamonds affection -was yearning back towards her husband. - -Tertius did not find fault with me, then? said Rosamond, -understanding now that Lydgate might have said anything to Mrs. -Casaubon, and that she certainly was different from other women. -Perhaps there was a faint taste of jealousy in the question. A smile -began to play over Dorotheas face as she said - -No, indeed! How could you imagine it? But here the door opened, and -Lydgate entered. - -I am come back in my quality of doctor, he said. After I went away, -I was haunted by two pale faces: Mrs. Casaubon looked as much in need -of care as you, Rosy. And I thought that I had not done my duty in -leaving you together; so when I had been to Colemans I came home -again. I noticed that you were walking, Mrs. Casaubon, and the sky has -changedI think we may have rain. May I send some one to order your -carriage to come for you? - -Oh, no! I am strong: I need the walk, said Dorothea, rising with -animation in her face. Mrs. Lydgate and I have chatted a great deal, -and it is time for me to go. I have always been accused of being -immoderate and saying too much. - -She put out her hand to Rosamond, and they said an earnest, quiet -good-by without kiss or other show of effusion: there had been between -them too much serious emotion for them to use the signs of it -superficially. - -As Lydgate took her to the door she said nothing of Rosamond, but told -him of Mr. Farebrother and the other friends who had listened with -belief to his story. - -When he came back to Rosamond, she had already thrown herself on the -sofa, in resigned fatigue. - -Well, Rosy, he said, standing over her, and touching her hair, what -do you think of Mrs. Casaubon now you have seen so much of her? - -I think she must be better than any one, said Rosamond, and she is -very beautiful. If you go to talk to her so often, you will be more -discontented with me than ever! - -Lydgate laughed at the so often. But has she made you any less -discontented with me? - -I think she has, said Rosamond, looking up in his face. How heavy -your eyes are, Tertiusand do push your hair back. He lifted up his -large white hand to obey her, and felt thankful for this little mark of -interest in him. Poor Rosamonds vagrant fancy had come back terribly -scourgedmeek enough to nestle under the old despised shelter. And the -shelter was still there: Lydgate had accepted his narrowed lot with sad -resignation. He had chosen this fragile creature, and had taken the -burthen of her life upon his arms. He must walk as he could, carrying -that burthen pitifully. - - - - -CHAPTER LXXXII. - -My grief lies onward and my joy behind. -SHAKESPEARE: _Sonnets_. - - -Exiles notoriously feed much on hopes, and are unlikely to stay in -banishment unless they are obliged. When Will Ladislaw exiled himself -from Middlemarch he had placed no stronger obstacle to his return than -his own resolve, which was by no means an iron barrier, but simply a -state of mind liable to melt into a minuet with other states of mind, -and to find itself bowing, smiling, and giving place with polite -facility. As the months went on, it had seemed more and more difficult -to him to say why he should not run down to Middlemarchmerely for the -sake of hearing something about Dorothea; and if on such a flying visit -he should chance by some strange coincidence to meet with her, there -was no reason for him to be ashamed of having taken an innocent journey -which he had beforehand supposed that he should not take. Since he was -hopelessly divided from her, he might surely venture into her -neighborhood; and as to the suspicious friends who kept a dragon watch -over hertheir opinions seemed less and less important with time and -change of air. - -And there had come a reason quite irrespective of Dorothea, which -seemed to make a journey to Middlemarch a sort of philanthropic duty. -Will had given a disinterested attention to an intended settlement on a -new plan in the Far West, and the need for funds in order to carry out -a good design had set him on debating with himself whether it would not -be a laudable use to make of his claim on Bulstrode, to urge the -application of that money which had been offered to himself as a means -of carrying out a scheme likely to be largely beneficial. The question -seemed a very dubious one to Will, and his repugnance to again entering -into any relation with the banker might have made him dismiss it -quickly, if there had not arisen in his imagination the probability -that his judgment might be more safely determined by a visit to -Middlemarch. - -That was the object which Will stated to himself as a reason for coming -down. He had meant to confide in Lydgate, and discuss the money -question with him, and he had meant to amuse himself for the few -evenings of his stay by having a great deal of music and badinage with -fair Rosamond, without neglecting his friends at Lowick Parsonage:if -the Parsonage was close to the Manor, that was no fault of his. He had -neglected the Farebrothers before his departure, from a proud -resistance to the possible accusation of indirectly seeking interviews -with Dorothea; but hunger tames us, and Will had become very hungry for -the vision of a certain form and the sound of a certain voice. Nothing -had done insteadnot the opera, or the converse of zealous politicians, -or the flattering reception (in dim corners) of his new hand in leading -articles. - -Thus he had come down, foreseeing with confidence how almost everything -would be in his familiar little world; fearing, indeed, that there -would be no surprises in his visit. But he had found that humdrum world -in a terribly dynamic condition, in which even badinage and lyrism had -turned explosive; and the first day of this visit had become the most -fatal epoch of his life. The next morning he felt so harassed with the -nightmare of consequenceshe dreaded so much the immediate issues -before himthat seeing while he breakfasted the arrival of the -Riverston coach, he went out hurriedly and took his place on it, that -he might be relieved, at least for a day, from the necessity of doing -or saying anything in Middlemarch. Will Ladislaw was in one of those -tangled crises which are commoner in experience than one might imagine, -from the shallow absoluteness of mens judgments. He had found Lydgate, -for whom he had the sincerest respect, under circumstances which -claimed his thorough and frankly declared sympathy; and the reason why, -in spite of that claim, it would have been better for Will to have -avoided all further intimacy, or even contact, with Lydgate, was -precisely of the kind to make such a course appear impossible. To a -creature of Wills susceptible temperamentwithout any neutral region -of indifference in his nature, ready to turn everything that befell him -into the collisions of a passionate dramathe revelation that Rosamond -had made her happiness in any way dependent on him was a difficulty -which his outburst of rage towards her had immeasurably increased for -him. He hated his own cruelty, and yet he dreaded to show the fulness -of his relenting: he must go to her again; the friendship could not be -put to a sudden end; and her unhappiness was a power which he dreaded. -And all the while there was no more foretaste of enjoyment in the life -before him than if his limbs had been lopped off and he was making his -fresh start on crutches. In the night he had debated whether he should -not get on the coach, not for Riverston, but for London, leaving a note -to Lydgate which would give a makeshift reason for his retreat. But -there were strong cords pulling him back from that abrupt departure: -the blight on his happiness in thinking of Dorothea, the crushing of -that chief hope which had remained in spite of the acknowledged -necessity for renunciation, was too fresh a misery for him to resign -himself to it and go straightway into a distance which was also -despair. - -Thus he did nothing more decided than taking the Riverston coach. He -came back again by it while it was still daylight, having made up his -mind that he must go to Lydgates that evening. The Rubicon, we know, -was a very insignificant stream to look at; its significance lay -entirely in certain invisible conditions. Will felt as if he were -forced to cross his small boundary ditch, and what he saw beyond it was -not empire, but discontented subjection. - -But it is given to us sometimes even in our every-day life to witness -the saving influence of a noble nature, the divine efficacy of rescue -that may lie in a self-subduing act of fellowship. If Dorothea, after -her nights anguish, had not taken that walk to Rosamondwhy, she -perhaps would have been a woman who gained a higher character for -discretion, but it would certainly not have been as well for those -three who were on one hearth in Lydgates house at half-past seven that -evening. - -Rosamond had been prepared for Wills visit, and she received him with -a languid coldness which Lydgate accounted for by her nervous -exhaustion, of which he could not suppose that it had any relation to -Will. And when she sat in silence bending over a bit of work, he -innocently apologized for her in an indirect way by begging her to lean -backward and rest. Will was miserable in the necessity for playing the -part of a friend who was making his first appearance and greeting to -Rosamond, while his thoughts were busy about her feeling since that -scene of yesterday, which seemed still inexorably to enclose them both, -like the painful vision of a double madness. It happened that nothing -called Lydgate out of the room; but when Rosamond poured out the tea, -and Will came near to fetch it, she placed a tiny bit of folded paper -in his saucer. He saw it and secured it quickly, but as he went back to -his inn he had no eagerness to unfold the paper. What Rosamond had -written to him would probably deepen the painful impressions of the -evening. Still, he opened and read it by his bed-candle. There were -only these few words in her neatly flowing hand: - -I have told Mrs. Casaubon. She is not under any mistake about you. I -told her because she came to see me and was very kind. You will have -nothing to reproach me with now. I shall not have made any difference -to you. - -The effect of these words was not quite all gladness. As Will dwelt on -them with excited imagination, he felt his cheeks and ears burning at -the thought of what had occurred between Dorothea and Rosamondat the -uncertainty how far Dorothea might still feel her dignity wounded in -having an explanation of his conduct offered to her. There might still -remain in her mind a changed association with him which made an -irremediable differencea lasting flaw. With active fancy he wrought -himself into a state of doubt little more easy than that of the man who -has escaped from wreck by night and stands on unknown ground in the -darkness. Until that wretched yesterdayexcept the moment of vexation -long ago in the very same room and in the very same presenceall their -vision, all their thought of each other, had been as in a world apart, -where the sunshine fell on tall white lilies, where no evil lurked, and -no other soul entered. But nowwould Dorothea meet him in that world -again? - - - - -CHAPTER LXXXIII. - -And now good-morrow to our waking souls -Which watch not one another out of fear; -For love all love of other sights controls, -And makes one little room, an everywhere. -DR. DONNE. - - -On the second morning after Dorotheas visit to Rosamond, she had had -two nights of sound sleep, and had not only lost all traces of fatigue, -but felt as if she had a great deal of superfluous strengththat is to -say, more strength than she could manage to concentrate on any -occupation. The day before, she had taken long walks outside the -grounds, and had paid two visits to the Parsonage; but she never in her -life told any one the reason why she spent her time in that fruitless -manner, and this morning she was rather angry with herself for her -childish restlessness. To-day was to be spent quite differently. What -was there to be done in the village? Oh dear! nothing. Everybody was -well and had flannel; nobodys pig had died; and it was Saturday -morning, when there was a general scrubbing of doors and door-stones, -and when it was useless to go into the school. But there were various -subjects that Dorothea was trying to get clear upon, and she resolved -to throw herself energetically into the gravest of all. She sat down in -the library before her particular little heap of books on political -economy and kindred matters, out of which she was trying to get light -as to the best way of spending money so as not to injure ones -neighbors, orwhat comes to the same thingso as to do them the most -good. Here was a weighty subject which, if she could but lay hold of -it, would certainly keep her mind steady. Unhappily her mind slipped -off it for a whole hour; and at the end she found herself reading -sentences twice over with an intense consciousness of many things, but -not of any one thing contained in the text. This was hopeless. Should -she order the carriage and drive to Tipton? No; for some reason or -other she preferred staying at Lowick. But her vagrant mind must be -reduced to order: there was an art in self-discipline; and she walked -round and round the brown library considering by what sort of manoeuvre -she could arrest her wandering thoughts. Perhaps a mere task was the -best meanssomething to which she must go doggedly. Was there not the -geography of Asia Minor, in which her slackness had often been rebuked -by Mr. Casaubon? She went to the cabinet of maps and unrolled one: this -morning she might make herself finally sure that Paphlagonia was not on -the Levantine coast, and fix her total darkness about the Chalybes -firmly on the shores of the Euxine. A map was a fine thing to study -when you were disposed to think of something else, being made up of -names that would turn into a chime if you went back upon them. Dorothea -set earnestly to work, bending close to her map, and uttering the names -in an audible, subdued tone, which often got into a chime. She looked -amusingly girlish after all her deep experiencenodding her head and -marking the names off on her fingers, with a little pursing of her lip, -and now and then breaking off to put her hands on each side of her face -and say, Oh dear! oh dear! - -There was no reason why this should end any more than a merry-go-round; -but it was at last interrupted by the opening of the door and the -announcement of Miss Noble. - -The little old lady, whose bonnet hardly reached Dorotheas shoulder, -was warmly welcomed, but while her hand was being pressed she made many -of her beaver-like noises, as if she had something difficult to say. - -Do sit down, said Dorothea, rolling a chair forward. Am I wanted for -anything? I shall be so glad if I can do anything. - -I will not stay, said Miss Noble, putting her hand into her small -basket, and holding some article inside it nervously; I have left a -friend in the churchyard. She lapsed into her inarticulate sounds, and -unconsciously drew forth the article which she was fingering. It was -the tortoise-shell lozenge-box, and Dorothea felt the color mounting to -her cheeks. - -Mr. Ladislaw, continued the timid little woman. He fears he has -offended you, and has begged me to ask if you will see him for a few -minutes. - -Dorothea did not answer on the instant: it was crossing her mind that -she could not receive him in this library, where her husbands -prohibition seemed to dwell. She looked towards the window. Could she -go out and meet him in the grounds? The sky was heavy, and the trees -had begun to shiver as at a coming storm. Besides, she shrank from -going out to him. - -Do see him, Mrs. Casaubon, said Miss Noble, pathetically; else I -must go back and say No, and that will hurt him. - -Yes, I will see him, said Dorothea. Pray tell him to come. - -What else was there to be done? There was nothing that she longed for -at that moment except to see Will: the possibility of seeing him had -thrust itself insistently between her and every other object; and yet -she had a throbbing excitement like an alarm upon hera sense that she -was doing something daringly defiant for his sake. - -When the little lady had trotted away on her mission, Dorothea stood in -the middle of the library with her hands falling clasped before her, -making no attempt to compose herself in an attitude of dignified -unconsciousness. What she was least conscious of just then was her own -body: she was thinking of what was likely to be in Wills mind, and of -the hard feelings that others had had about him. How could any duty -bind her to hardness? Resistance to unjust dispraise had mingled with -her feeling for him from the very first, and now in the rebound of her -heart after her anguish the resistance was stronger than ever. If I -love him too much it is because he has been used so ill:there was a -voice within her saying this to some imagined audience in the library, -when the door was opened, and she saw Will before her. - -She did not move, and he came towards her with more doubt and timidity -in his face than she had ever seen before. He was in a state of -uncertainty which made him afraid lest some look or word of his should -condemn him to a new distance from her; and Dorothea was afraid of her -_own_ emotion. She looked as if there were a spell upon her, keeping -her motionless and hindering her from unclasping her hands, while some -intense, grave yearning was imprisoned within her eyes. Seeing that she -did not put out her hand as usual, Will paused a yard from her and said -with embarrassment, I am so grateful to you for seeing me. - -I wanted to see you, said Dorothea, having no other words at command. -It did not occur to her to sit down, and Will did not give a cheerful -interpretation to this queenly way of receiving him; but he went on to -say what he had made up his mind to say. - -I fear you think me foolish and perhaps wrong for coming back so soon. -I have been punished for my impatience. You knowevery one knows nowa -painful story about my parentage. I knew of it before I went away, and -I always meant to tell you of it ifif we ever met again. - -There was a slight movement in Dorothea, and she unclasped her hands, -but immediately folded them over each other. - -But the affair is matter of gossip now, Will continued. I wished you -to know that something connected with itsomething which happened -before I went away, helped to bring me down here again. At least I -thought it excused my coming. It was the idea of getting Bulstrode to -apply some money to a public purposesome money which he had thought of -giving me. Perhaps it is rather to Bulstrodes credit that he privately -offered me compensation for an old injury: he offered to give me a good -income to make amends; but I suppose you know the disagreeable story? - -Will looked doubtfully at Dorothea, but his manner was gathering some -of the defiant courage with which he always thought of this fact in his -destiny. He added, You know that it must be altogether painful to me. - -YesyesI know, said Dorothea, hastily. - -I did not choose to accept an income from such a source. I was sure -that you would not think well of me if I did so, said Will. Why should -he mind saying anything of that sort to her now? She knew that he had -avowed his love for her. I felt thathe broke off, nevertheless. - -You acted as I should have expected you to act, said Dorothea, her -face brightening and her head becoming a little more erect on its -beautiful stem. - -I did not believe that you would let any circumstance of my birth -create a prejudice in you against me, though it was sure to do so in -others, said Will, shaking his head backward in his old way, and -looking with a grave appeal into her eyes. - -If it were a new hardship it would be a new reason for me to cling to -you, said Dorothea, fervidly. Nothing could have changed me but her -heart was swelling, and it was difficult to go on; she made a great -effort over herself to say in a low tremulous voice, but thinking that -you were differentnot so good as I had believed you to be. - -You are sure to believe me better than I am in everything but one, -said Will, giving way to his own feeling in the evidence of hers. I -mean, in my truth to you. When I thought you doubted of that, I didnt -care about anything that was left. I thought it was all over with me, -and there was nothing to try foronly things to endure. - -I dont doubt you any longer, said Dorothea, putting out her hand; a -vague fear for him impelling her unutterable affection. - -He took her hand and raised it to his lips with something like a sob. -But he stood with his hat and gloves in the other hand, and might have -done for the portrait of a Royalist. Still it was difficult to loose -the hand, and Dorothea, withdrawing it in a confusion that distressed -her, looked and moved away. - -See how dark the clouds have become, and how the trees are tossed, -she said, walking towards the window, yet speaking and moving with only -a dim sense of what she was doing. - -Will followed her at a little distance, and leaned against the tall -back of a leather chair, on which he ventured now to lay his hat and -gloves, and free himself from the intolerable durance of formality to -which he had been for the first time condemned in Dorotheas presence. -It must be confessed that he felt very happy at that moment leaning on -the chair. He was not much afraid of anything that she might feel now. - -They stood silent, not looking at each other, but looking at the -evergreens which were being tossed, and were showing the pale underside -of their leaves against the blackening sky. Will never enjoyed the -prospect of a storm so much: it delivered him from the necessity of -going away. Leaves and little branches were hurled about, and the -thunder was getting nearer. The light was more and more sombre, but -there came a flash of lightning which made them start and look at each -other, and then smile. Dorothea began to say what she had been thinking -of. - -That was a wrong thing for you to say, that you would have had nothing -to try for. If we had lost our own chief good, other peoples good -would remain, and that is worth trying for. Some can be happy. I seemed -to see that more clearly than ever, when I was the most wretched. I can -hardly think how I could have borne the trouble, if that feeling had -not come to me to make strength. - -You have never felt the sort of misery I felt, said Will; the misery -of knowing that you must despise me. - -But I have felt worseit was worse to think ill Dorothea had begun -impetuously, but broke off. - -Will colored. He had the sense that whatever she said was uttered in -the vision of a fatality that kept them apart. He was silent a moment, -and then said passionately - -We may at least have the comfort of speaking to each other without -disguise. Since I must go awaysince we must always be dividedyou may -think of me as one on the brink of the grave. - -While he was speaking there came a vivid flash of lightning which lit -each of them up for the otherand the light seemed to be the terror of -a hopeless love. Dorothea darted instantaneously from the window; Will -followed her, seizing her hand with a spasmodic movement; and so they -stood, with their hands clasped, like two children, looking out on the -storm, while the thunder gave a tremendous crack and roll above them, -and the rain began to pour down. Then they turned their faces towards -each other, with the memory of his last words in them, and they did not -loose each others hands. - -There is no hope for me, said Will. Even if you loved me as well as -I love youeven if I were everything to youI shall most likely always -be very poor: on a sober calculation, one can count on nothing but a -creeping lot. It is impossible for us ever to belong to each other. It -is perhaps base of me to have asked for a word from you. I meant to go -away into silence, but I have not been able to do what I meant. - -Dont be sorry, said Dorothea, in her clear tender tones. I would -rather share all the trouble of our parting. - -Her lips trembled, and so did his. It was never known which lips were -the first to move towards the other lips; but they kissed tremblingly, -and then they moved apart. - -The rain was dashing against the window-panes as if an angry spirit -were within it, and behind it was the great swoop of the wind; it was -one of those moments in which both the busy and the idle pause with a -certain awe. - -Dorothea sat down on the seat nearest to her, a long low ottoman in the -middle of the room, and with her hands folded over each other on her -lap, looked at the drear outer world. Will stood still an instant -looking at her, then seated himself beside her, and laid his hand on -hers, which turned itself upward to be clasped. They sat in that way -without looking at each other, until the rain abated and began to fall -in stillness. Each had been full of thoughts which neither of them -could begin to utter. - -But when the rain was quiet, Dorothea turned to look at Will. With -passionate exclamation, as if some torture screw were threatening him, -he started up and said, It is impossible! - -He went and leaned on the back of the chair again, and seemed to be -battling with his own anger, while she looked towards him sadly. - -It is as fatal as a murder or any other horror that divides people, -he burst out again; it is more intolerableto have our life maimed by -petty accidents. - -Nodont say thatyour life need not be maimed, said Dorothea, -gently. - -Yes, it must, said Will, angrily. It is cruel of you to speak in -that wayas if there were any comfort. You may see beyond the misery of -it, but I dont. It is unkindit is throwing back my love for you as if -it were a trifle, to speak in that way in the face of the fact. We can -never be married. - -Some timewe might, said Dorothea, in a trembling voice. - -When? said Will, bitterly. What is the use of counting on any -success of mine? It is a mere toss up whether I shall ever do more than -keep myself decently, unless I choose to sell myself as a mere pen and -a mouthpiece. I can see that clearly enough. I could not offer myself -to any woman, even if she had no luxuries to renounce. - -There was silence. Dorotheas heart was full of something that she -wanted to say, and yet the words were too difficult. She was wholly -possessed by them: at that moment debate was mute within her. And it -was very hard that she could not say what she wanted to say. Will was -looking out of the window angrily. If he would have looked at her and -not gone away from her side, she thought everything would have been -easier. At last he turned, still resting against the chair, and -stretching his hand automatically towards his hat, said with a sort of -exasperation, Good-by. - -Oh, I cannot bear itmy heart will break, said Dorothea, starting -from her seat, the flood of her young passion bearing down all the -obstructions which had kept her silentthe great tears rising and -falling in an instant: I dont mind about povertyI hate my wealth. - -In an instant Will was close to her and had his arms round her, but she -drew her head back and held his away gently that she might go on -speaking, her large tear-filled eyes looking at his very simply, while -she said in a sobbing childlike way, We could live quite well on my -own fortuneit is too muchseven hundred a-yearI want so littleno new -clothesand I will learn what everything costs. - - - - -CHAPTER LXXXIV. - -Though it be songe of old and yonge, - That I sholde be to blame, -Theyrs be the charge, that spoke so large - In hurtynge of my name. -_The Not-Browne Mayde_. - - -It was just after the Lords had thrown out the Reform Bill: that -explains how Mr. Cadwallader came to be walking on the slope of the -lawn near the great conservatory at Freshitt Hall, holding the Times -in his hands behind him, while he talked with a trout-fishers -dispassionateness about the prospects of the country to Sir James -Chettam. Mrs. Cadwallader, the Dowager Lady Chettam, and Celia were -sometimes seated on garden-chairs, sometimes walking to meet little -Arthur, who was being drawn in his chariot, and, as became the -infantine Bouddha, was sheltered by his sacred umbrella with handsome -silken fringe. - -The ladies also talked politics, though more fitfully. Mrs. Cadwallader -was strong on the intended creation of peers: she had it for certain -from her cousin that Truberry had gone over to the other side entirely -at the instigation of his wife, who had scented peerages in the air -from the very first introduction of the Reform question, and would sign -her soul away to take precedence of her younger sister, who had married -a baronet. Lady Chettam thought that such conduct was very -reprehensible, and remembered that Mrs. Truberrys mother was a Miss -Walsingham of Melspring. Celia confessed it was nicer to be Lady than -Mrs., and that Dodo never minded about precedence if she could have -her own way. Mrs. Cadwallader held that it was a poor satisfaction to -take precedence when everybody about you knew that you had not a drop -of good blood in your veins; and Celia again, stopping to look at -Arthur, said, It would be very nice, though, if he were a Viscountand -his lordships little tooth coming through! He might have been, if -James had been an Earl. - -My dear Celia, said the Dowager, Jamess title is worth far more -than any new earldom. I never wished his father to be anything else -than Sir James. - -Oh, I only meant about Arthurs little tooth, said Celia, -comfortably. But see, here is my uncle coming. - -She tripped off to meet her uncle, while Sir James and Mr. Cadwallader -came forward to make one group with the ladies. Celia had slipped her -arm through her uncles, and he patted her hand with a rather -melancholy Well, my dear! As they approached, it was evident that Mr. -Brooke was looking dejected, but this was fully accounted for by the -state of politics; and as he was shaking hands all round without more -greeting than a Well, youre all here, you know, the Rector said, -laughingly - -Dont take the throwing out of the Bill so much to heart, Brooke; -youve got all the riff-raff of the country on your side. - -The Bill, eh? ah! said Mr. Brooke, with a mild distractedness of -manner. Thrown out, you know, eh? The Lords are going too far, though. -Theyll have to pull up. Sad news, you know. I mean, here at homesad -news. But you must not blame me, Chettam. - -What is the matter? said Sir James. Not another gamekeeper shot, I -hope? Its what I should expect, when a fellow like Trapping Bass is -let off so easily. - -Gamekeeper? No. Let us go in; I can tell you all in the house, you -know, said Mr. Brooke, nodding at the Cadwalladers, to show that he -included them in his confidence. As to poachers like Trapping Bass, -you know, Chettam, he continued, as they were entering, when you are -a magistrate, youll not find it so easy to commit. Severity is all -very well, but its a great deal easier when youve got somebody to do -it for you. You have a soft place in your heart yourself, you -knowyoure not a Draco, a Jeffreys, that sort of thing. - -Mr. Brooke was evidently in a state of nervous perturbation. When he -had something painful to tell, it was usually his way to introduce it -among a number of disjointed particulars, as if it were a medicine that -would get a milder flavor by mixing. He continued his chat with Sir -James about the poachers until they were all seated, and Mrs. -Cadwallader, impatient of this drivelling, said - -Im dying to know the sad news. The gamekeeper is not shot: that is -settled. What is it, then? - -Well, its a very trying thing, you know, said Mr. Brooke. Im glad -you and the Rector are here; its a family matterbut you will help us -all to bear it, Cadwallader. Ive got to break it to you, my dear. -Here Mr. Brooke looked at CeliaYouve no notion what it is, you know. -And, Chettam, it will annoy you uncommonlybut, you see, you have not -been able to hinder it, any more than I have. Theres something -singular in things: they come round, you know. - -It must be about Dodo, said Celia, who had been used to think of her -sister as the dangerous part of the family machinery. She had seated -herself on a low stool against her husbands knee. - -For Gods sake let us hear what it is! said Sir James. - -Well, you know, Chettam, I couldnt help Casaubons will: it was a -sort of will to make things worse. - -Exactly, said Sir James, hastily. But _what_ is worse? - -Dorothea is going to be married again, you know, said Mr. Brooke, -nodding towards Celia, who immediately looked up at her husband with a -frightened glance, and put her hand on his knee. Sir James was almost -white with anger, but he did not speak. - -Merciful heaven! said Mrs. Cadwallader. Not to _young_ Ladislaw? - -Mr. Brooke nodded, saying, Yes; to Ladislaw, and then fell into a -prudential silence. - -You see, Humphrey! said Mrs. Cadwallader, waving her arm towards her -husband. Another time you will admit that I have some foresight; or -rather you will contradict me and be just as blind as ever. _You_ -supposed that the young gentleman was gone out of the country. - -So he might be, and yet come back, said the Rector, quietly. - -When did you learn this? said Sir James, not liking to hear any one -else speak, though finding it difficult to speak himself. - -Yesterday, said Mr. Brooke, meekly. I went to Lowick. Dorothea sent -for me, you know. It had come about quite suddenlyneither of them had -any idea two days agonot any idea, you know. Theres something -singular in things. But Dorothea is quite determinedit is no use -opposing. I put it strongly to her. I did my duty, Chettam. But she can -act as she likes, you know. - -It would have been better if I had called him out and shot him a year -ago, said Sir James, not from bloody-mindedness, but because he needed -something strong to say. - -Really, James, that would have been very disagreeable, said Celia. - -Be reasonable, Chettam. Look at the affair more quietly, said Mr. -Cadwallader, sorry to see his good-natured friend so overmastered by -anger. - -That is not so very easy for a man of any dignitywith any sense of -rightwhen the affair happens to be in his own family, said Sir James, -still in his white indignation. It is perfectly scandalous. If -Ladislaw had had a spark of honor he would have gone out of the country -at once, and never shown his face in it again. However, I am not -surprised. The day after Casaubons funeral I said what ought to be -done. But I was not listened to. - -You wanted what was impossible, you know, Chettam, said Mr. Brooke. -You wanted him shipped off. I told you Ladislaw was not to be done as -we liked with: he had his ideas. He was a remarkable fellowI always -said he was a remarkable fellow. - -Yes, said Sir James, unable to repress a retort, it is rather a pity -you formed that high opinion of him. We are indebted to that for his -being lodged in this neighborhood. We are indebted to that for seeing a -woman like Dorothea degrading herself by marrying him. Sir James made -little stoppages between his clauses, the words not coming easily. A -man so marked out by her husbands will, that delicacy ought to have -forbidden her from seeing him againwho takes her out of her proper -rankinto povertyhas the meanness to accept such a sacrificehas -always had an objectionable positiona bad originand, _I believe_, is -a man of little principle and light character. That is my opinion. Sir -James ended emphatically, turning aside and crossing his leg. - -I pointed everything out to her, said Mr. Brooke, apologeticallyI -mean the poverty, and abandoning her position. I said, My dear, you -dont know what it is to live on seven hundred a-year, and have no -carriage, and that kind of thing, and go amongst people who dont know -who you are. I put it strongly to her. But I advise you to talk to -Dorothea herself. The fact is, she has a dislike to Casaubons -property. You will hear what she says, you know. - -Noexcuse meI shall not, said Sir James, with more coolness. I -cannot bear to see her again; it is too painful. It hurts me too much -that a woman like Dorothea should have done what is wrong. - -Be just, Chettam, said the easy, large-lipped Rector, who objected to -all this unnecessary discomfort. Mrs. Casaubon may be acting -imprudently: she is giving up a fortune for the sake of a man, and we -men have so poor an opinion of each other that we can hardly call a -woman wise who does that. But I think you should not condemn it as a -wrong action, in the strict sense of the word. - -Yes, I do, answered Sir James. I think that Dorothea commits a wrong -action in marrying Ladislaw. - -My dear fellow, we are rather apt to consider an act wrong because it -is unpleasant to us, said the Rector, quietly. Like many men who take -life easily, he had the knack of saying a home truth occasionally to -those who felt themselves virtuously out of temper. Sir James took out -his handkerchief and began to bite the corner. - -It is very dreadful of Dodo, though, said Celia, wishing to justify -her husband. She said she _never would_ marry againnot anybody at -all. - -I heard her say the same thing myself, said Lady Chettam, -majestically, as if this were royal evidence. - -Oh, there is usually a silent exception in such cases, said Mrs. -Cadwallader. The only wonder to me is, that any of you are surprised. -You did nothing to hinder it. If you would have had Lord Triton down -here to woo her with his philanthropy, he might have carried her off -before the year was over. There was no safety in anything else. Mr. -Casaubon had prepared all this as beautifully as possible. He made -himself disagreeableor it pleased God to make him soand then he dared -her to contradict him. Its the way to make any trumpery tempting, to -ticket it at a high price in that way. - -I dont know what you mean by wrong, Cadwallader, said Sir James, -still feeling a little stung, and turning round in his chair towards -the Rector. Hes not a man we can take into the family. At least, I -must speak for myself, he continued, carefully keeping his eyes off -Mr. Brooke. I suppose others will find his society too pleasant to -care about the propriety of the thing. - -Well, you know, Chettam, said Mr. Brooke, good-humoredly, nursing his -leg, I cant turn my back on Dorothea. I must be a father to her up to -a certain point. I said, My dear, I wont refuse to give you away. I -had spoken strongly before. But I can cut off the entail, you know. It -will cost money and be troublesome; but I can do it, you know. - -Mr. Brooke nodded at Sir James, and felt that he was both showing his -own force of resolution and propitiating what was just in the Baronets -vexation. He had hit on a more ingenious mode of parrying than he was -aware of. He had touched a motive of which Sir James was ashamed. The -mass of his feeling about Dorotheas marriage to Ladislaw was due -partly to excusable prejudice, or even justifiable opinion, partly to a -jealous repugnance hardly less in Ladislaws case than in Casaubons. -He was convinced that the marriage was a fatal one for Dorothea. But -amid that mass ran a vein of which he was too good and honorable a man -to like the avowal even to himself: it was undeniable that the union of -the two estatesTipton and Freshittlying charmingly within a -ring-fence, was a prospect that flattered him for his son and heir. -Hence when Mr. Brooke noddingly appealed to that motive, Sir James felt -a sudden embarrassment; there was a stoppage in his throat; he even -blushed. He had found more words than usual in the first jet of his -anger, but Mr. Brookes propitiation was more clogging to his tongue -than Mr. Cadwalladers caustic hint. - -But Celia was glad to have room for speech after her uncles suggestion -of the marriage ceremony, and she said, though with as little eagerness -of manner as if the question had turned on an invitation to dinner, Do -you mean that Dodo is going to be married directly, uncle? - -In three weeks, you know, said Mr. Brooke, helplessly. I can do -nothing to hinder it, Cadwallader, he added, turning for a little -countenance toward the Rector, who said - -_I_ should not make any fuss about it. If she likes to be poor, that -is her affair. Nobody would have said anything if she had married the -young fellow because he was rich. Plenty of beneficed clergy are poorer -than they will be. Here is Elinor, continued the provoking husband; -she vexed her friends by me: I had hardly a thousand a-yearI was a -loutnobody could see anything in memy shoes were not the right -cutall the men wondered how a woman could like me. Upon my word, I -must take Ladislaws part until I hear more harm of him. - -Humphrey, that is all sophistry, and you know it, said his wife. -Everything is all onethat is the beginning and end with you. As if -you had not been a Cadwallader! Does any one suppose that I would have -taken such a monster as you by any other name? - -And a clergyman too, observed Lady Chettam with approbation. Elinor -cannot be said to have descended below her rank. It is difficult to say -what Mr. Ladislaw is, eh, James? - -Sir James gave a small grunt, which was less respectful than his usual -mode of answering his mother. Celia looked up at him like a thoughtful -kitten. - -It must be admitted that his blood is a frightful mixture! said Mrs. -Cadwallader. The Casaubon cuttle-fish fluid to begin with, and then a -rebellious Polish fiddler or dancing-master, was it?and then an old -clo - -Nonsense, Elinor, said the Rector, rising. It is time for us to go. - -After all, he is a pretty sprig, said Mrs. Cadwallader, rising too, -and wishing to make amends. He is like the fine old Crichley portraits -before the idiots came in. - -Ill go with you, said Mr. Brooke, starting up with alacrity. You -must all come and dine with me to-morrow, you knoweh, Celia, my dear? - -You will, Jameswont you? said Celia, taking her husbands hand. - -Oh, of course, if you like, said Sir James, pulling down his -waistcoat, but unable yet to adjust his face good-humoredly. That is -to say, if it is not to meet anybody else. - -No, no, no, said Mr. Brooke, understanding the condition. Dorothea -would not come, you know, unless you had been to see her. - -When Sir James and Celia were alone, she said, Do you mind about my -having the carriage to go to Lowick, James? - -What, now, directly? he answered, with some surprise. - -Yes, it is very important, said Celia. - -Remember, Celia, I cannot see her, said Sir James. - -Not if she gave up marrying? - -What is the use of saying that?however, Im going to the stables. -Ill tell Briggs to bring the carriage round. - -Celia thought it was of great use, if not to say that, at least to take -a journey to Lowick in order to influence Dorotheas mind. All through -their girlhood she had felt that she could act on her sister by a word -judiciously placedby opening a little window for the daylight of her -own understanding to enter among the strange colored lamps by which -Dodo habitually saw. And Celia the matron naturally felt more able to -advise her childless sister. How could any one understand Dodo so well -as Celia did or love her so tenderly? - -Dorothea, busy in her boudoir, felt a glow of pleasure at the sight of -her sister so soon after the revelation of her intended marriage. She -had prefigured to herself, even with exaggeration, the disgust of her -friends, and she had even feared that Celia might be kept aloof from -her. - -O Kitty, I am delighted to see you! said Dorothea, putting her hands -on Celias shoulders, and beaming on her. I almost thought you would -not come to me. - -I have not brought Arthur, because I was in a hurry, said Celia, and -they sat down on two small chairs opposite each other, with their knees -touching. - -You know, Dodo, it is very bad, said Celia, in her placid guttural, -looking as prettily free from humors as possible. You have -disappointed us all so. And I cant think that it ever _will_ beyou -never can go and live in that way. And then there are all your plans! -You never can have thought of that. James would have taken any trouble -for you, and you might have gone on all your life doing what you -liked. +Face! said I, call that his face? very benevolent countenance then; +but how hard he breathes, hes heaving himself; get off, Queequeg, you +are heavy, its grinding the face of the poor. Get off, Queequeg! Look, +hell twitch you off soon. I wonder he dont wake. + +Queequeg removed himself to just beyond the head of the sleeper, and +lighted his tomahawk pipe. I sat at the feet. We kept the pipe passing +over the sleeper, from one to the other. Meanwhile, upon questioning +him in his broken fashion, Queequeg gave me to understand that, in his +land, owing to the absence of settees and sofas of all sorts, the king, +chiefs, and great people generally, were in the custom of fattening +some of the lower orders for ottomans; and to furnish a house +comfortably in that respect, you had only to buy up eight or ten lazy +fellows, and lay them round in the piers and alcoves. Besides, it was +very convenient on an excursion; much better than those garden-chairs +which are convertible into walking-sticks; upon occasion, a chief +calling his attendant, and desiring him to make a settee of himself +under a spreading tree, perhaps in some damp marshy place. + +While narrating these things, every time Queequeg received the tomahawk +from me, he flourished the hatchet-side of it over the sleepers head. + +Whats that for, Queequeg? + +Perry easy, kill-e; oh! perry easy! + +He was going on with some wild reminiscences about his tomahawk-pipe, +which, it seemed, had in its two uses both brained his foes and soothed +his soul, when we were directly attracted to the sleeping rigger. The +strong vapor now completely filling the contracted hole, it began to +tell upon him. He breathed with a sort of muffledness; then seemed +troubled in the nose; then revolved over once or twice; then sat up and +rubbed his eyes. + +Holloa! he breathed at last, who be ye smokers? + +Shipped men, answered I, when does she sail? + +Aye, aye, ye are going in her, be ye? She sails to-day. The Captain +came aboard last night. + +What Captain?Ahab? + +Who but him indeed? + +I was going to ask him some further questions concerning Ahab, when we +heard a noise on deck. + +Holloa! Starbucks astir, said the rigger. Hes a lively chief mate, +that; good man, and a pious; but all alive now, I must turn to. And so +saying he went on deck, and we followed. + +It was now clear sunrise. Soon the crew came on board in twos and +threes; the riggers bestirred themselves; the mates were actively +engaged; and several of the shore people were busy in bringing various +last things on board. Meanwhile Captain Ahab remained invisibly +enshrined within his cabin. + + +CHAPTER 22. Merry Christmas. + +At length, towards noon, upon the final dismissal of the ships +riggers, and after the Pequod had been hauled out from the wharf, and +after the ever-thoughtful Charity had come off in a whale-boat, with +her last gifta night-cap for Stubb, the second mate, her +brother-in-law, and a spare Bible for the stewardafter all this, the +two Captains, Peleg and Bildad, issued from the cabin, and turning to +the chief mate, Peleg said: + +Now, Mr. Starbuck, are you sure everything is right? Captain Ahab is +all readyjust spoke to himnothing more to be got from shore, eh? +Well, call all hands, then. Muster em aft hereblast em! + +No need of profane words, however great the hurry, Peleg, said +Bildad, but away with thee, friend Starbuck, and do our bidding. + +How now! Here upon the very point of starting for the voyage, Captain +Peleg and Captain Bildad were going it with a high hand on the +quarter-deck, just as if they were to be joint-commanders at sea, as +well as to all appearances in port. And, as for Captain Ahab, no sign +of him was yet to be seen; only, they said he was in the cabin. But +then, the idea was, that his presence was by no means necessary in +getting the ship under weigh, and steering her well out to sea. Indeed, +as that was not at all his proper business, but the pilots; and as he +was not yet completely recoveredso they saidtherefore, Captain Ahab +stayed below. And all this seemed natural enough; especially as in the +merchant service many captains never show themselves on deck for a +considerable time after heaving up the anchor, but remain over the +cabin table, having a farewell merry-making with their shore friends, +before they quit the ship for good with the pilot. + +But there was not much chance to think over the matter, for Captain +Peleg was now all alive. He seemed to do most of the talking and +commanding, and not Bildad. + +Aft here, ye sons of bachelors, he cried, as the sailors lingered at +the main-mast. Mr. Starbuck, drive em aft. + +Strike the tent there!was the next order. As I hinted before, this +whalebone marquee was never pitched except in port; and on board the +Pequod, for thirty years, the order to strike the tent was well known +to be the next thing to heaving up the anchor. + +Man the capstan! Blood and thunder!jump!was the next command, and +the crew sprang for the handspikes. + +Now in getting under weigh, the station generally occupied by the pilot +is the forward part of the ship. And here Bildad, who, with Peleg, be +it known, in addition to his other officers, was one of the licensed +pilots of the porthe being suspected to have got himself made a pilot +in order to save the Nantucket pilot-fee to all the ships he was +concerned in, for he never piloted any other craftBildad, I say, might +now be seen actively engaged in looking over the bows for the +approaching anchor, and at intervals singing what seemed a dismal stave +of psalmody, to cheer the hands at the windlass, who roared forth some +sort of a chorus about the girls in Booble Alley, with hearty good +will. Nevertheless, not three days previous, Bildad had told them that +no profane songs would be allowed on board the Pequod, particularly in +getting under weigh; and Charity, his sister, had placed a small choice +copy of Watts in each seamans berth. + +Meantime, overseeing the other part of the ship, Captain Peleg ripped +and swore astern in the most frightful manner. I almost thought he +would sink the ship before the anchor could be got up; involuntarily I +paused on my handspike, and told Queequeg to do the same, thinking of +the perils we both ran, in starting on the voyage with such a devil for +a pilot. I was comforting myself, however, with the thought that in +pious Bildad might be found some salvation, spite of his seven hundred +and seventy-seventh lay; when I felt a sudden sharp poke in my rear, +and turning round, was horrified at the apparition of Captain Peleg in +the act of withdrawing his leg from my immediate vicinity. That was my +first kick. + +Is that the way they heave in the marchant service? he roared. +Spring, thou sheep-head; spring, and break thy backbone! Why dont ye +spring, I say, all of yespring! Quohog! spring, thou chap with the red +whiskers; spring there, Scotch-cap; spring, thou green pants. Spring, I +say, all of ye, and spring your eyes out! And so saying, he moved +along the windlass, here and there using his leg very freely, while +imperturbable Bildad kept leading off with his psalmody. Thinks I, +Captain Peleg must have been drinking something to-day. + +At last the anchor was up, the sails were set, and off we glided. It +was a short, cold Christmas; and as the short northern day merged into +night, we found ourselves almost broad upon the wintry ocean, whose +freezing spray cased us in ice, as in polished armor. The long rows of +teeth on the bulwarks glistened in the moonlight; and like the white +ivory tusks of some huge elephant, vast curving icicles depended from +the bows. + +Lank Bildad, as pilot, headed the first watch, and ever and anon, as +the old craft deep dived into the green seas, and sent the shivering +frost all over her, and the winds howled, and the cordage rang, his +steady notes were heard, + + +_Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood, Stand dressed in living +green. So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between._ + + + +Never did those sweet words sound more sweetly to me than then. They +were full of hope and fruition. Spite of this frigid winter night in +the boisterous Atlantic, spite of my wet feet and wetter jacket, there +was yet, it then seemed to me, many a pleasant haven in store; and +meads and glades so eternally vernal, that the grass shot up by the +spring, untrodden, unwilted, remains at midsummer. + +At last we gained such an offing, that the two pilots were needed no +longer. The stout sail-boat that had accompanied us began ranging +alongside. + +It was curious and not unpleasing, how Peleg and Bildad were affected +at this juncture, especially Captain Bildad. For loath to depart, yet; +very loath to leave, for good, a ship bound on so long and perilous a +voyagebeyond both stormy Capes; a ship in which some thousands of his +hard earned dollars were invested; a ship, in which an old shipmate +sailed as captain; a man almost as old as he, once more starting to +encounter all the terrors of the pitiless jaw; loath to say good-bye to +a thing so every way brimful of every interest to him,poor old Bildad +lingered long; paced the deck with anxious strides; ran down into the +cabin to speak another farewell word there; again came on deck, and +looked to windward; looked towards the wide and endless waters, only +bounded by the far-off unseen Eastern Continents; looked towards the +land; looked aloft; looked right and left; looked everywhere and +nowhere; and at last, mechanically coiling a rope upon its pin, +convulsively grasped stout Peleg by the hand, and holding up a lantern, +for a moment stood gazing heroically in his face, as much as to say, +Nevertheless, friend Peleg, I can stand it; yes, I can. + +As for Peleg himself, he took it more like a philosopher; but for all +his philosophy, there was a tear twinkling in his eye, when the lantern +came too near. And he, too, did not a little run from cabin to decknow +a word below, and now a word with Starbuck, the chief mate. + +But, at last, he turned to his comrade, with a final sort of look about +him,Captain Bildadcome, old shipmate, we must go. Back the main-yard +there! Boat ahoy! Stand by to come close alongside, now! Careful, +careful!come, Bildad, boysay your last. Luck to ye, Starbuckluck to +ye, Mr. Stubbluck to ye, Mr. Flaskgood-bye and good luck to ye +alland this day three years Ill have a hot supper smoking for ye in +old Nantucket. Hurrah and away! + +God bless ye, and have ye in His holy keeping, men, murmured old +Bildad, almost incoherently. I hope yell have fine weather now, so +that Captain Ahab may soon be moving among yea pleasant sun is all he +needs, and yell have plenty of them in the tropic voyage ye go. Be +careful in the hunt, ye mates. Dont stave the boats needlessly, ye +harpooneers; good white cedar plank is raised full three per cent. +within the year. Dont forget your prayers, either. Mr. Starbuck, mind +that cooper dont waste the spare staves. Oh! the sail-needles are in +the green locker! Dont whale it too much a Lords days, men; but +dont miss a fair chance either, thats rejecting Heavens good gifts. +Have an eye to the molasses tierce, Mr. Stubb; it was a little leaky, I +thought. If ye touch at the islands, Mr. Flask, beware of fornication. +Good-bye, good-bye! Dont keep that cheese too long down in the hold, +Mr. Starbuck; itll spoil. Be careful with the buttertwenty cents the +pound it was, and mind ye, if + +Come, come, Captain Bildad; stop palavering,away! and with that, +Peleg hurried him over the side, and both dropt into the boat. + +Ship and boat diverged; the cold, damp night breeze blew between; a +screaming gull flew overhead; the two hulls wildly rolled; we gave +three heavy-hearted cheers, and blindly plunged like fate into the lone +Atlantic. + + +CHAPTER 23. The Lee Shore. + +Some chapters back, one Bulkington was spoken of, a tall, newlanded +mariner, encountered in New Bedford at the inn. + +When on that shivering winters night, the Pequod thrust her vindictive +bows into the cold malicious waves, who should I see standing at her +helm but Bulkington! I looked with sympathetic awe and fearfulness upon +the man, who in mid-winter just landed from a four years dangerous +voyage, could so unrestingly push off again for still another +tempestuous term. The land seemed scorching to his feet. Wonderfullest +things are ever the unmentionable; deep memories yield no epitaphs; +this six-inch chapter is the stoneless grave of Bulkington. Let me only +say that it fared with him as with the storm-tossed ship, that +miserably drives along the leeward land. The port would fain give +succor; the port is pitiful; in the port is safety, comfort, +hearthstone, supper, warm blankets, friends, all thats kind to our +mortalities. But in that gale, the port, the land, is that ships +direst jeopardy; she must fly all hospitality; one touch of land, +though it but graze the keel, would make her shudder through and +through. With all her might she crowds all sail off shore; in so doing, +fights gainst the very winds that fain would blow her homeward; seeks +all the lashed seas landlessness again; for refuges sake forlornly +rushing into peril; her only friend her bitterest foe! + +Know ye now, Bulkington? Glimpses do ye seem to see of that mortally +intolerable truth; that all deep, earnest thinking is but the intrepid +effort of the soul to keep the open independence of her sea; while the +wildest winds of heaven and earth conspire to cast her on the +treacherous, slavish shore? + +But as in landlessness alone resides highest truth, shoreless, +indefinite as Godso, better is it to perish in that howling infinite, +than be ingloriously dashed upon the lee, even if that were safety! For +worm-like, then, oh! who would craven crawl to land! Terrors of the +terrible! is all this agony so vain? Take heart, take heart, O +Bulkington! Bear thee grimly, demigod! Up from the spray of thy +ocean-perishingstraight up, leaps thy apotheosis! + + +CHAPTER 24. The Advocate. + +As Queequeg and I are now fairly embarked in this business of whaling; +and as this business of whaling has somehow come to be regarded among +landsmen as a rather unpoetical and disreputable pursuit; therefore, I +am all anxiety to convince ye, ye landsmen, of the injustice hereby +done to us hunters of whales. + +In the first place, it may be deemed almost superfluous to establish +the fact, that among people at large, the business of whaling is not +accounted on a level with what are called the liberal professions. If a +stranger were introduced into any miscellaneous metropolitan society, +it would but slightly advance the general opinion of his merits, were +he presented to the company as a harpooneer, say; and if in emulation +of the naval officers he should append the initials S.W.F. (Sperm Whale +Fishery) to his visiting card, such a procedure would be deemed +pre-eminently presuming and ridiculous. + +Doubtless one leading reason why the world declines honoring us +whalemen, is this: they think that, at best, our vocation amounts to a +butchering sort of business; and that when actively engaged therein, we +are surrounded by all manner of defilements. Butchers we are, that is +true. But butchers, also, and butchers of the bloodiest badge have been +all Martial Commanders whom the world invariably delights to honor. And +as for the matter of the alleged uncleanliness of our business, ye +shall soon be initiated into certain facts hitherto pretty generally +unknown, and which, upon the whole, will triumphantly plant the sperm +whale-ship at least among the cleanliest things of this tidy earth. But +even granting the charge in question to be true; what disordered +slippery decks of a whale-ship are comparable to the unspeakable +carrion of those battle-fields from which so many soldiers return to +drink in all ladies plaudits? And if the idea of peril so much +enhances the popular conceit of the soldiers profession; let me assure +ye that many a veteran who has freely marched up to a battery, would +quickly recoil at the apparition of the sperm whales vast tail, +fanning into eddies the air over his head. For what are the +comprehensible terrors of man compared with the interlinked terrors and +wonders of God! + +But, though the world scouts at us whale hunters, yet does it +unwittingly pay us the profoundest homage; yea, an all-abounding +adoration! for almost all the tapers, lamps, and candles that burn +round the globe, burn, as before so many shrines, to our glory! + +But look at this matter in other lights; weigh it in all sorts of +scales; see what we whalemen are, and have been. + +Why did the Dutch in De Witts time have admirals of their whaling +fleets? Why did Louis XVI. of France, at his own personal expense, fit +out whaling ships from Dunkirk, and politely invite to that town some +score or two of families from our own island of Nantucket? Why did +Britain between the years 1750 and 1788 pay to her whalemen in bounties +upwards of 1,000,000? And lastly, how comes it that we whalemen of +America now outnumber all the rest of the banded whalemen in the world; +sail a navy of upwards of seven hundred vessels; manned by eighteen +thousand men; yearly consuming 4,000,000 of dollars; the ships worth, +at the time of sailing, $20,000,000! and every year importing into our +harbors a well reaped harvest of $7,000,000. How comes all this, if +there be not something puissant in whaling? + +But this is not the half; look again. + +I freely assert, that the cosmopolite philosopher cannot, for his life, +point out one single peaceful influence, which within the last sixty +years has operated more potentially upon the whole broad world, taken +in one aggregate, than the high and mighty business of whaling. One way +and another, it has begotten events so remarkable in themselves, and so +continuously momentous in their sequential issues, that whaling may +well be regarded as that Egyptian mother, who bore offspring themselves +pregnant from her womb. It would be a hopeless, endless task to +catalogue all these things. Let a handful suffice. For many years past +the whale-ship has been the pioneer in ferreting out the remotest and +least known parts of the earth. She has explored seas and archipelagoes +which had no chart, where no Cook or Vancouver had ever sailed. If +American and European men-of-war now peacefully ride in once savage +harbors, let them fire salutes to the honor and glory of the +whale-ship, which originally showed them the way, and first interpreted +between them and the savages. They may celebrate as they will the +heroes of Exploring Expeditions, your Cooks, your Krusensterns; but I +say that scores of anonymous Captains have sailed out of Nantucket, +that were as great, and greater than your Cook and your Krusenstern. +For in their succourless empty-handedness, they, in the heathenish +sharked waters, and by the beaches of unrecorded, javelin islands, +battled with virgin wonders and terrors that Cook with all his marines +and muskets would not willingly have dared. All that is made such a +flourish of in the old South Sea Voyages, those things were but the +life-time commonplaces of our heroic Nantucketers. Often, adventures +which Vancouver dedicates three chapters to, these men accounted +unworthy of being set down in the ships common log. Ah, the world! Oh, +the world! + +Until the whale fishery rounded Cape Horn, no commerce but colonial, +scarcely any intercourse but colonial, was carried on between Europe +and the long line of the opulent Spanish provinces on the Pacific +coast. It was the whaleman who first broke through the jealous policy +of the Spanish crown, touching those colonies; and, if space permitted, +it might be distinctly shown how from those whalemen at last eventuated +the liberation of Peru, Chili, and Bolivia from the yoke of Old Spain, +and the establishment of the eternal democracy in those parts. + +That great America on the other side of the sphere, Australia, was +given to the enlightened world by the whaleman. After its first +blunder-born discovery by a Dutchman, all other ships long shunned +those shores as pestiferously barbarous; but the whale-ship touched +there. The whale-ship is the true mother of that now mighty colony. +Moreover, in the infancy of the first Australian settlement, the +emigrants were several times saved from starvation by the benevolent +biscuit of the whale-ship luckily dropping an anchor in their waters. +The uncounted isles of all Polynesia confess the same truth, and do +commercial homage to the whale-ship, that cleared the way for the +missionary and the merchant, and in many cases carried the primitive +missionaries to their first destinations. If that double-bolted land, +Japan, is ever to become hospitable, it is the whale-ship alone to whom +the credit will be due; for already she is on the threshold. + +But if, in the face of all this, you still declare that whaling has no +sthetically noble associations connected with it, then am I ready to +shiver fifty lances with you there, and unhorse you with a split helmet +every time. + +The whale has no famous author, and whaling no famous chronicler, you +will say. + +_The whale no famous author, and whaling no famous chronicler?_ Who +wrote the first account of our Leviathan? Who but mighty Job! And who +composed the first narrative of a whaling-voyage? Who, but no less a +prince than Alfred the Great, who, with his own royal pen, took down +the words from Other, the Norwegian whale-hunter of those times! And +who pronounced our glowing eulogy in Parliament? Who, but Edmund Burke! + +True enough, but then whalemen themselves are poor devils; they have no +good blood in their veins. + +_No good blood in their veins?_ They have something better than royal +blood there. The grandmother of Benjamin Franklin was Mary Morrel; +afterwards, by marriage, Mary Folger, one of the old settlers of +Nantucket, and the ancestress to a long line of Folgers and +harpooneersall kith and kin to noble Benjaminthis day darting the +barbed iron from one side of the world to the other. + +Good again; but then all confess that somehow whaling is not +respectable. + +_Whaling not respectable?_ Whaling is imperial! By old English +statutory law, the whale is declared a royal fish. * + +Oh, thats only nominal! The whale himself has never figured in any +grand imposing way. + +_The whale never figured in any grand imposing way?_ In one of the +mighty triumphs given to a Roman general upon his entering the worlds +capital, the bones of a whale, brought all the way from the Syrian +coast, were the most conspicuous object in the cymballed procession.* + +*See subsequent chapters for something more on this head. + +Grant it, since you cite it; but, say what you will, there is no real +dignity in whaling. + +_No dignity in whaling?_ The dignity of our calling the very heavens +attest. Cetus is a constellation in the South! No more! Drive down your +hat in presence of the Czar, and take it off to Queequeg! No more! I +know a man that, in his lifetime, has taken three hundred and fifty +whales. I account that man more honorable than that great captain of +antiquity who boasted of taking as many walled towns. + +And, as for me, if, by any possibility, there be any as yet +undiscovered prime thing in me; if I shall ever deserve any real repute +in that small but high hushed world which I might not be unreasonably +ambitious of; if hereafter I shall do anything that, upon the whole, a +man might rather have done than to have left undone; if, at my death, +my executors, or more properly my creditors, find any precious MSS. in +my desk, then here I prospectively ascribe all the honor and the glory +to whaling; for a whale-ship was my Yale College and my Harvard. + + +CHAPTER 25. Postscript. + +In behalf of the dignity of whaling, I would fain advance naught but +substantiated facts. But after embattling his facts, an advocate who +should wholly suppress a not unreasonable surmise, which might tell +eloquently upon his causesuch an advocate, would he not be +blameworthy? + +It is well known that at the coronation of kings and queens, even +modern ones, a certain curious process of seasoning them for their +functions is gone through. There is a saltcellar of state, so called, +and there may be a castor of state. How they use the salt, +preciselywho knows? Certain I am, however, that a kings head is +solemnly oiled at his coronation, even as a head of salad. Can it be, +though, that they anoint it with a view of making its interior run +well, as they anoint machinery? Much might be ruminated here, +concerning the essential dignity of this regal process, because in +common life we esteem but meanly and contemptibly a fellow who anoints +his hair, and palpably smells of that anointing. In truth, a mature man +who uses hair-oil, unless medicinally, that man has probably got a +quoggy spot in him somewhere. As a general rule, he cant amount to +much in his totality. + +But the only thing to be considered here, is thiswhat kind of oil is +used at coronations? Certainly it cannot be olive oil, nor macassar +oil, nor castor oil, nor bears oil, nor train oil, nor cod-liver oil. +What then can it possibly be, but sperm oil in its unmanufactured, +unpolluted state, the sweetest of all oils? + +Think of that, ye loyal Britons! we whalemen supply your kings and +queens with coronation stuff! + + +CHAPTER 26. Knights and Squires. + +The chief mate of the Pequod was Starbuck, a native of Nantucket, and a +Quaker by descent. He was a long, earnest man, and though born on an +icy coast, seemed well adapted to endure hot latitudes, his flesh being +hard as twice-baked biscuit. Transported to the Indies, his live blood +would not spoil like bottled ale. He must have been born in some time +of general drought and famine, or upon one of those fast days for which +his state is famous. Only some thirty arid summers had he seen; those +summers had dried up all his physical superfluousness. But this, his +thinness, so to speak, seemed no more the token of wasting anxieties +and cares, than it seemed the indication of any bodily blight. It was +merely the condensation of the man. He was by no means ill-looking; +quite the contrary. His pure tight skin was an excellent fit; and +closely wrapped up in it, and embalmed with inner health and strength, +like a revivified Egyptian, this Starbuck seemed prepared to endure for +long ages to come, and to endure always, as now; for be it Polar snow +or torrid sun, like a patent chronometer, his interior vitality was +warranted to do well in all climates. Looking into his eyes, you seemed +to see there the yet lingering images of those thousand-fold perils he +had calmly confronted through life. A staid, steadfast man, whose life +for the most part was a telling pantomime of action, and not a tame +chapter of sounds. Yet, for all his hardy sobriety and fortitude, there +were certain qualities in him which at times affected, and in some +cases seemed well nigh to overbalance all the rest. Uncommonly +conscientious for a seaman, and endued with a deep natural reverence, +the wild watery loneliness of his life did therefore strongly incline +him to superstition; but to that sort of superstition, which in some +organizations seems rather to spring, somehow, from intelligence than +from ignorance. Outward portents and inward presentiments were his. And +if at times these things bent the welded iron of his soul, much more +did his far-away domestic memories of his young Cape wife and child, +tend to bend him still more from the original ruggedness of his nature, +and open him still further to those latent influences which, in some +honest-hearted men, restrain the gush of dare-devil daring, so often +evinced by others in the more perilous vicissitudes of the fishery. I +will have no man in my boat, said Starbuck, who is not afraid of a +whale. By this, he seemed to mean, not only that the most reliable and +useful courage was that which arises from the fair estimation of the +encountered peril, but that an utterly fearless man is a far more +dangerous comrade than a coward. + +Aye, aye, said Stubb, the second mate, Starbuck, there, is as +careful a man as youll find anywhere in this fishery. But we shall +ere long see what that word careful precisely means when used by a +man like Stubb, or almost any other whale hunter. + +Starbuck was no crusader after perils; in him courage was not a +sentiment; but a thing simply useful to him, and always at hand upon +all mortally practical occasions. Besides, he thought, perhaps, that in +this business of whaling, courage was one of the great staple outfits +of the ship, like her beef and her bread, and not to be foolishly +wasted. Wherefore he had no fancy for lowering for whales after +sun-down; nor for persisting in fighting a fish that too much persisted +in fighting him. For, thought Starbuck, I am here in this critical +ocean to kill whales for my living, and not to be killed by them for +theirs; and that hundreds of men had been so killed Starbuck well knew. +What doom was his own fathers? Where, in the bottomless deeps, could +he find the torn limbs of his brother? + +With memories like these in him, and, moreover, given to a certain +superstitiousness, as has been said; the courage of this Starbuck which +could, nevertheless, still flourish, must indeed have been extreme. But +it was not in reasonable nature that a man so organized, and with such +terrible experiences and remembrances as he had; it was not in nature +that these things should fail in latently engendering an element in +him, which, under suitable circumstances, would break out from its +confinement, and burn all his courage up. And brave as he might be, it +was that sort of bravery chiefly, visible in some intrepid men, which, +while generally abiding firm in the conflict with seas, or winds, or +whales, or any of the ordinary irrational horrors of the world, yet +cannot withstand those more terrific, because more spiritual terrors, +which sometimes menace you from the concentrating brow of an enraged +and mighty man. + +But were the coming narrative to reveal in any instance, the complete +abasement of poor Starbucks fortitude, scarce might I have the heart +to write it; for it is a thing most sorrowful, nay shocking, to expose +the fall of valour in the soul. Men may seem detestable as joint +stock-companies and nations; knaves, fools, and murderers there may be; +men may have mean and meagre faces; but man, in the ideal, is so noble +and so sparkling, such a grand and glowing creature, that over any +ignominious blemish in him all his fellows should run to throw their +costliest robes. That immaculate manliness we feel within ourselves, so +far within us, that it remains intact though all the outer character +seem gone; bleeds with keenest anguish at the undraped spectacle of a +valor-ruined man. Nor can piety itself, at such a shameful sight, +completely stifle her upbraidings against the permitting stars. But +this august dignity I treat of, is not the dignity of kings and robes, +but that abounding dignity which has no robed investiture. Thou shalt +see it shining in the arm that wields a pick or drives a spike; that +democratic dignity which, on all hands, radiates without end from God; +Himself! The great God absolute! The centre and circumference of all +democracy! His omnipresence, our divine equality! + +If, then, to meanest mariners, and renegades and castaways, I shall +hereafter ascribe high qualities, though dark; weave round them tragic +graces; if even the most mournful, perchance the most abased, among +them all, shall at times lift himself to the exalted mounts; if I shall +touch that workmans arm with some ethereal light; if I shall spread a +rainbow over his disastrous set of sun; then against all mortal critics +bear me out in it, thou just Spirit of Equality, which hast spread one +royal mantle of humanity over all my kind! Bear me out in it, thou +great democratic God! who didst not refuse to the swart convict, +Bunyan, the pale, poetic pearl; Thou who didst clothe with doubly +hammered leaves of finest gold, the stumped and paupered arm of old +Cervantes; Thou who didst pick up Andrew Jackson from the pebbles; who +didst hurl him upon a war-horse; who didst thunder him higher than a +throne! Thou who, in all Thy mighty, earthly marchings, ever cullest +Thy selectest champions from the kingly commons; bear me out in it, O +God! + + +CHAPTER 27. Knights and Squires. + +Stubb was the second mate. He was a native of Cape Cod; and hence, +according to local usage, was called a Cape-Cod-man. A happy-go-lucky; +neither craven nor valiant; taking perils as they came with an +indifferent air; and while engaged in the most imminent crisis of the +chase, toiling away, calm and collected as a journeyman joiner engaged +for the year. Good-humored, easy, and careless, he presided over his +whale-boat as if the most deadly encounter were but a dinner, and his +crew all invited guests. He was as particular about the comfortable +arrangement of his part of the boat, as an old stage-driver is about +the snugness of his box. When close to the whale, in the very +death-lock of the fight, he handled his unpitying lance coolly and +off-handedly, as a whistling tinker his hammer. He would hum over his +old rigadig tunes while flank and flank with the most exasperated +monster. Long usage had, for this Stubb, converted the jaws of death +into an easy chair. What he thought of death itself, there is no +telling. Whether he ever thought of it at all, might be a question; +but, if he ever did chance to cast his mind that way after a +comfortable dinner, no doubt, like a good sailor, he took it to be a +sort of call of the watch to tumble aloft, and bestir themselves there, +about something which he would find out when he obeyed the order, and +not sooner. + +What, perhaps, with other things, made Stubb such an easy-going, +unfearing man, so cheerily trudging off with the burden of life in a +world full of grave pedlars, all bowed to the ground with their packs; +what helped to bring about that almost impious good-humor of his; that +thing must have been his pipe. For, like his nose, his short, black +little pipe was one of the regular features of his face. You would +almost as soon have expected him to turn out of his bunk without his +nose as without his pipe. He kept a whole row of pipes there ready +loaded, stuck in a rack, within easy reach of his hand; and, whenever +he turned in, he smoked them all out in succession, lighting one from +the other to the end of the chapter; then loading them again to be in +readiness anew. For, when Stubb dressed, instead of first putting his +legs into his trowsers, he put his pipe into his mouth. + +I say this continual smoking must have been one cause, at least, of his +peculiar disposition; for every one knows that this earthly air, +whether ashore or afloat, is terribly infected with the nameless +miseries of the numberless mortals who have died exhaling it; and as in +time of the cholera, some people go about with a camphorated +handkerchief to their mouths; so, likewise, against all mortal +tribulations, Stubbs tobacco smoke might have operated as a sort of +disinfecting agent. + +The third mate was Flask, a native of Tisbury, in Marthas Vineyard. A +short, stout, ruddy young fellow, very pugnacious concerning whales, +who somehow seemed to think that the great leviathans had personally +and hereditarily affronted him; and therefore it was a sort of point of +honor with him, to destroy them whenever encountered. So utterly lost +was he to all sense of reverence for the many marvels of their majestic +bulk and mystic ways; and so dead to anything like an apprehension of +any possible danger from encountering them; that in his poor opinion, +the wondrous whale was but a species of magnified mouse, or at least +water-rat, requiring only a little circumvention and some small +application of time and trouble in order to kill and boil. This +ignorant, unconscious fearlessness of his made him a little waggish in +the matter of whales; he followed these fish for the fun of it; and a +three years voyage round Cape Horn was only a jolly joke that lasted +that length of time. As a carpenters nails are divided into wrought +nails and cut nails; so mankind may be similarly divided. Little Flask +was one of the wrought ones; made to clinch tight and last long. They +called him King-Post on board of the Pequod; because, in form, he could +be well likened to the short, square timber known by that name in +Arctic whalers; and which by the means of many radiating side timbers +inserted into it, serves to brace the ship against the icy concussions +of those battering seas. + +Now these three matesStarbuck, Stubb, and Flask, were momentous men. +They it was who by universal prescription commanded three of the +Pequods boats as headsmen. In that grand order of battle in which +Captain Ahab would probably marshal his forces to descend on the +whales, these three headsmen were as captains of companies. Or, being +armed with their long keen whaling spears, they were as a picked trio +of lancers; even as the harpooneers were flingers of javelins. + +And since in this famous fishery, each mate or headsman, like a Gothic +Knight of old, is always accompanied by his boat-steerer or harpooneer, +who in certain conjunctures provides him with a fresh lance, when the +former one has been badly twisted, or elbowed in the assault; and +moreover, as there generally subsists between the two, a close intimacy +and friendliness; it is therefore but meet, that in this place we set +down who the Pequods harpooneers were, and to what headsman each of +them belonged. + +First of all was Queequeg, whom Starbuck, the chief mate, had selected +for his squire. But Queequeg is already known. + +Next was Tashtego, an unmixed Indian from Gay Head, the most westerly +promontory of Marthas Vineyard, where there still exists the last +remnant of a village of red men, which has long supplied the +neighboring island of Nantucket with many of her most daring +harpooneers. In the fishery, they usually go by the generic name of +Gay-Headers. Tashtegos long, lean, sable hair, his high cheek bones, +and black rounding eyesfor an Indian, Oriental in their largeness, but +Antarctic in their glittering expressionall this sufficiently +proclaimed him an inheritor of the unvitiated blood of those proud +warrior hunters, who, in quest of the great New England moose, had +scoured, bow in hand, the aboriginal forests of the main. But no longer +snuffing in the trail of the wild beasts of the woodland, Tashtego now +hunted in the wake of the great whales of the sea; the unerring harpoon +of the son fitly replacing the infallible arrow of the sires. To look +at the tawny brawn of his lithe snaky limbs, you would almost have +credited the superstitions of some of the earlier Puritans, and +half-believed this wild Indian to be a son of the Prince of the Powers +of the Air. Tashtego was Stubb the second mates squire. + +Third among the harpooneers was Daggoo, a gigantic, coal-black +negro-savage, with a lion-like treadan Ahasuerus to behold. Suspended +from his ears were two golden hoops, so large that the sailors called +them ring-bolts, and would talk of securing the top-sail halyards to +them. In his youth Daggoo had voluntarily shipped on board of a whaler, +lying in a lonely bay on his native coast. And never having been +anywhere in the world but in Africa, Nantucket, and the pagan harbors +most frequented by whalemen; and having now led for many years the bold +life of the fishery in the ships of owners uncommonly heedful of what +manner of men they shipped; Daggoo retained all his barbaric virtues, +and erect as a giraffe, moved about the decks in all the pomp of six +feet five in his socks. There was a corporeal humility in looking up at +him; and a white man standing before him seemed a white flag come to +beg truce of a fortress. Curious to tell, this imperial negro, +Ahasuerus Daggoo, was the Squire of little Flask, who looked like a +chess-man beside him. As for the residue of the Pequods company, be it +said, that at the present day not one in two of the many thousand men +before the mast employed in the American whale fishery, are Americans +born, though pretty nearly all the officers are. Herein it is the same +with the American whale fishery as with the American army and military +and merchant navies, and the engineering forces employed in the +construction of the American Canals and Railroads. The same, I say, +because in all these cases the native American liberally provides the +brains, the rest of the world as generously supplying the muscles. No +small number of these whaling seamen belong to the Azores, where the +outward bound Nantucket whalers frequently touch to augment their crews +from the hardy peasants of those rocky shores. In like manner, the +Greenland whalers sailing out of Hull or London, put in at the Shetland +Islands, to receive the full complement of their crew. Upon the passage +homewards, they drop them there again. How it is, there is no telling, +but Islanders seem to make the best whalemen. They were nearly all +Islanders in the Pequod, _Isolatoes_ too, I call such, not +acknowledging the common continent of men, but each _Isolato_ living on +a separate continent of his own. Yet now, federated along one keel, +what a set these Isolatoes were! An Anacharsis Clootz deputation from +all the isles of the sea, and all the ends of the earth, accompanying +Old Ahab in the Pequod to lay the worlds grievances before that bar +from which not very many of them ever come back. Black Little Piphe +never didoh, no! he went before. Poor Alabama boy! On the grim +Pequods forecastle, ye shall ere long see him, beating his tambourine; +prelusive of the eternal time, when sent for, to the great quarter-deck +on high, he was bid strike in with angels, and beat his tambourine in +glory; called a coward here, hailed a hero there! + + +CHAPTER 28. Ahab. + +For several days after leaving Nantucket, nothing above hatches was +seen of Captain Ahab. The mates regularly relieved each other at the +watches, and for aught that could be seen to the contrary, they seemed +to be the only commanders of the ship; only they sometimes issued from +the cabin with orders so sudden and peremptory, that after all it was +plain they but commanded vicariously. Yes, their supreme lord and +dictator was there, though hitherto unseen by any eyes not permitted to +penetrate into the now sacred retreat of the cabin. + +Every time I ascended to the deck from my watches below, I instantly +gazed aft to mark if any strange face were visible; for my first vague +disquietude touching the unknown captain, now in the seclusion of the +sea, became almost a perturbation. This was strangely heightened at +times by the ragged Elijahs diabolical incoherences uninvitedly +recurring to me, with a subtle energy I could not have before conceived +of. But poorly could I withstand them, much as in other moods I was +almost ready to smile at the solemn whimsicalities of that outlandish +prophet of the wharves. But whatever it was of apprehensiveness or +uneasinessto call it sowhich I felt, yet whenever I came to look +about me in the ship, it seemed against all warrantry to cherish such +emotions. For though the harpooneers, with the great body of the crew, +were a far more barbaric, heathenish, and motley set than any of the +tame merchant-ship companies which my previous experiences had made me +acquainted with, still I ascribed thisand rightly ascribed itto the +fierce uniqueness of the very nature of that wild Scandinavian vocation +in which I had so abandonedly embarked. But it was especially the +aspect of the three chief officers of the ship, the mates, which was +most forcibly calculated to allay these colourless misgivings, and +induce confidence and cheerfulness in every presentment of the voyage. +Three better, more likely sea-officers and men, each in his own +different way, could not readily be found, and they were every one of +them Americans; a Nantucketer, a Vineyarder, a Cape man. Now, it being +Christmas when the ship shot from out her harbor, for a space we had +biting Polar weather, though all the time running away from it to the +southward; and by every degree and minute of latitude which we sailed, +gradually leaving that merciless winter, and all its intolerable +weather behind us. It was one of those less lowering, but still grey +and gloomy enough mornings of the transition, when with a fair wind the +ship was rushing through the water with a vindictive sort of leaping +and melancholy rapidity, that as I mounted to the deck at the call of +the forenoon watch, so soon as I levelled my glance towards the +taffrail, foreboding shivers ran over me. Reality outran apprehension; +Captain Ahab stood upon his quarter-deck. + +There seemed no sign of common bodily illness about him, nor of the +recovery from any. He looked like a man cut away from the stake, when +the fire has overrunningly wasted all the limbs without consuming them, +or taking away one particle from their compacted aged robustness. His +whole high, broad form, seemed made of solid bronze, and shaped in an +unalterable mould, like Cellinis cast Perseus. Threading its way out +from among his grey hairs, and continuing right down one side of his +tawny scorched face and neck, till it disappeared in his clothing, you +saw a slender rod-like mark, lividly whitish. It resembled that +perpendicular seam sometimes made in the straight, lofty trunk of a +great tree, when the upper lightning tearingly darts down it, and +without wrenching a single twig, peels and grooves out the bark from +top to bottom, ere running off into the soil, leaving the tree still +greenly alive, but branded. Whether that mark was born with him, or +whether it was the scar left by some desperate wound, no one could +certainly say. By some tacit consent, throughout the voyage little or +no allusion was made to it, especially by the mates. But once +Tashtegos senior, an old Gay-Head Indian among the crew, +superstitiously asserted that not till he was full forty years old did +Ahab become that way branded, and then it came upon him, not in the +fury of any mortal fray, but in an elemental strife at sea. Yet, this +wild hint seemed inferentially negatived, by what a grey Manxman +insinuated, an old sepulchral man, who, having never before sailed out +of Nantucket, had never ere this laid eye upon wild Ahab. Nevertheless, +the old sea-traditions, the immemorial credulities, popularly invested +this old Manxman with preternatural powers of discernment. So that no +white sailor seriously contradicted him when he said that if ever +Captain Ahab should be tranquilly laid outwhich might hardly come to +pass, so he mutteredthen, whoever should do that last office for the +dead, would find a birth-mark on him from crown to sole. + +So powerfully did the whole grim aspect of Ahab affect me, and the +livid brand which streaked it, that for the first few moments I hardly +noted that not a little of this overbearing grimness was owing to the +barbaric white leg upon which he partly stood. It had previously come +to me that this ivory leg had at sea been fashioned from the polished +bone of the sperm whales jaw. Aye, he was dismasted off Japan, said +the old Gay-Head Indian once; but like his dismasted craft, he shipped +another mast without coming home for it. He has a quiver of em. + +I was struck with the singular posture he maintained. Upon each side of +the Pequods quarter deck, and pretty close to the mizzen shrouds, +there was an auger hole, bored about half an inch or so, into the +plank. His bone leg steadied in that hole; one arm elevated, and +holding by a shroud; Captain Ahab stood erect, looking straight out +beyond the ships ever-pitching prow. There was an infinity of firmest +fortitude, a determinate, unsurrenderable wilfulness, in the fixed and +fearless, forward dedication of that glance. Not a word he spoke; nor +did his officers say aught to him; though by all their minutest +gestures and expressions, they plainly showed the uneasy, if not +painful, consciousness of being under a troubled master-eye. And not +only that, but moody stricken Ahab stood before them with a crucifixion +in his face; in all the nameless regal overbearing dignity of some +mighty woe. + +Ere long, from his first visit in the air, he withdrew into his cabin. +But after that morning, he was every day visible to the crew; either +standing in his pivot-hole, or seated upon an ivory stool he had; or +heavily walking the deck. As the sky grew less gloomy; indeed, began to +grow a little genial, he became still less and less a recluse; as if, +when the ship had sailed from home, nothing but the dead wintry +bleakness of the sea had then kept him so secluded. And, by and by, it +came to pass, that he was almost continually in the air; but, as yet, +for all that he said, or perceptibly did, on the at last sunny deck, he +seemed as unnecessary there as another mast. But the Pequod was only +making a passage now; not regularly cruising; nearly all whaling +preparatives needing supervision the mates were fully competent to, so +that there was little or nothing, out of himself, to employ or excite +Ahab, now; and thus chase away, for that one interval, the clouds that +layer upon layer were piled upon his brow, as ever all clouds choose +the loftiest peaks to pile themselves upon. + +Nevertheless, ere long, the warm, warbling persuasiveness of the +pleasant, holiday weather we came to, seemed gradually to charm him +from his mood. For, as when the red-cheeked, dancing girls, April and +May, trip home to the wintry, misanthropic woods; even the barest, +ruggedest, most thunder-cloven old oak will at least send forth some +few green sprouts, to welcome such glad-hearted visitants; so Ahab did, +in the end, a little respond to the playful allurings of that girlish +air. More than once did he put forth the faint blossom of a look, +which, in any other man, would have soon flowered out in a smile. + + +CHAPTER 29. Enter Ahab; to Him, Stubb. + +Some days elapsed, and ice and icebergs all astern, the Pequod now went +rolling through the bright Quito spring, which, at sea, almost +perpetually reigns on the threshold of the eternal August of the +Tropic. The warmly cool, clear, ringing, perfumed, overflowing, +redundant days, were as crystal goblets of Persian sherbet, heaped +upflaked up, with rose-water snow. The starred and stately nights +seemed haughty dames in jewelled velvets, nursing at home in lonely +pride, the memory of their absent conquering Earls, the golden helmeted +suns! For sleeping man, twas hard to choose between such winsome days +and such seducing nights. But all the witcheries of that unwaning +weather did not merely lend new spells and potencies to the outward +world. Inward they turned upon the soul, especially when the still mild +hours of eve came on; then, memory shot her crystals as the clear ice +most forms of noiseless twilights. And all these subtle agencies, more +and more they wrought on Ahabs texture. + +Old age is always wakeful; as if, the longer linked with life, the less +man has to do with aught that looks like death. Among sea-commanders, +the old greybeards will oftenest leave their berths to visit the +night-cloaked deck. It was so with Ahab; only that now, of late, he +seemed so much to live in the open air, that truly speaking, his visits +were more to the cabin, than from the cabin to the planks. It feels +like going down into ones tomb,he would mutter to himselffor an +old captain like me to be descending this narrow scuttle, to go to my +grave-dug berth. + +So, almost every twenty-four hours, when the watches of the night were +set, and the band on deck sentinelled the slumbers of the band below; +and when if a rope was to be hauled upon the forecastle, the sailors +flung it not rudely down, as by day, but with some cautiousness dropt +it to its place for fear of disturbing their slumbering shipmates; when +this sort of steady quietude would begin to prevail, habitually, the +silent steersman would watch the cabin-scuttle; and ere long the old +man would emerge, gripping at the iron banister, to help his crippled +way. Some considering touch of humanity was in him; for at times like +these, he usually abstained from patrolling the quarter-deck; because +to his wearied mates, seeking repose within six inches of his ivory +heel, such would have been the reverberating crack and din of that bony +step, that their dreams would have been on the crunching teeth of +sharks. But once, the mood was on him too deep for common regardings; +and as with heavy, lumber-like pace he was measuring the ship from +taffrail to mainmast, Stubb, the old second mate, came up from below, +with a certain unassured, deprecating humorousness, hinted that if +Captain Ahab was pleased to walk the planks, then, no one could say +nay; but there might be some way of muffling the noise; hinting +something indistinctly and hesitatingly about a globe of tow, and the +insertion into it, of the ivory heel. Ah! Stubb, thou didst not know +Ahab then. + +Am I a cannon-ball, Stubb, said Ahab, that thou wouldst wad me that +fashion? But go thy ways; I had forgot. Below to thy nightly grave; +where such as ye sleep between shrouds, to use ye to the filling one at +last.Down, dog, and kennel! + +Starting at the unforseen concluding exclamation of the so suddenly +scornful old man, Stubb was speechless a moment; then said excitedly, +I am not used to be spoken to that way, sir; I do but less than half +like it, sir. + +Avast! gritted Ahab between his set teeth, and violently moving away, +as if to avoid some passionate temptation. + +No, sir; not yet, said Stubb, emboldened, I will not tamely be +called a dog, sir. + +Then be called ten times a donkey, and a mule, and an ass, and begone, +or Ill clear the world of thee! + +As he said this, Ahab advanced upon him with such overbearing terrors +in his aspect, that Stubb involuntarily retreated. + +I was never served so before without giving a hard blow for it, +muttered Stubb, as he found himself descending the cabin-scuttle. Its +very queer. Stop, Stubb; somehow, now, I dont well know whether to go +back and strike him, orwhats that?down here on my knees and pray for +him? Yes, that was the thought coming up in me; but it would be the +first time I ever _did_ pray. Its queer; very queer; and hes queer +too; aye, take him fore and aft, hes about the queerest old man Stubb +ever sailed with. How he flashed at me!his eyes like powder-pans! is +he mad? Anyway theres something on his mind, as sure as there must be +something on a deck when it cracks. He aint in his bed now, either, +more than three hours out of the twenty-four; and he dont sleep then. +Didnt that Dough-Boy, the steward, tell me that of a morning he always +finds the old mans hammock clothes all rumpled and tumbled, and the +sheets down at the foot, and the coverlid almost tied into knots, and +the pillow a sort of frightful hot, as though a baked brick had been on +it? A hot old man! I guess hes got what some folks ashore call a +conscience; its a kind of Tic-Dolly-row they sayworse nor a +toothache. Well, well; I dont know what it is, but the Lord keep me +from catching it. Hes full of riddles; I wonder what he goes into the +after hold for, every night, as Dough-Boy tells me he suspects; whats +that for, I should like to know? Whos made appointments with him in +the hold? Aint that queer, now? But theres no telling, its the old +gameHere goes for a snooze. Damn me, its worth a fellows while to be +born into the world, if only to fall right asleep. And now that I think +of it, thats about the first thing babies do, and thats a sort of +queer, too. Damn me, but all things are queer, come to think of em. +But thats against my principles. Think not, is my eleventh +commandment; and sleep when you can, is my twelfthSo here goes again. +But hows that? didnt he call me a dog? blazes! he called me ten times +a donkey, and piled a lot of jackasses on top of _that!_ He might as +well have kicked me, and done with it. Maybe he _did_ kick me, and I +didnt observe it, I was so taken all aback with his brow, somehow. It +flashed like a bleached bone. What the devils the matter with me? I +dont stand right on my legs. Coming afoul of that old man has a sort +of turned me wrong side out. By the Lord, I must have been dreaming, +thoughHow? how? how?but the only ways to stash it; so here goes to +hammock again; and in the morning, Ill see how this plaguey juggling +thinks over by daylight. + + +CHAPTER 30. The Pipe. + +When Stubb had departed, Ahab stood for a while leaning over the +bulwarks; and then, as had been usual with him of late, calling a +sailor of the watch, he sent him below for his ivory stool, and also +his pipe. Lighting the pipe at the binnacle lamp and planting the stool +on the weather side of the deck, he sat and smoked. + +In old Norse times, the thrones of the sea-loving Danish kings were +fabricated, saith tradition, of the tusks of the narwhale. How could +one look at Ahab then, seated on that tripod of bones, without +bethinking him of the royalty it symbolized? For a Khan of the plank, +and a king of the sea, and a great lord of Leviathans was Ahab. + +Some moments passed, during which the thick vapor came from his mouth +in quick and constant puffs, which blew back again into his face. How +now, he soliloquized at last, withdrawing the tube, this smoking no +longer soothes. Oh, my pipe! hard must it go with me if thy charm be +gone! Here have I been unconsciously toiling, not pleasuringaye, and +ignorantly smoking to windward all the while; to windward, and with +such nervous whiffs, as if, like the dying whale, my final jets were +the strongest and fullest of trouble. What business have I with this +pipe? This thing that is meant for sereneness, to send up mild white +vapors among mild white hairs, not among torn iron-grey locks like +mine. Ill smoke no more + +He tossed the still lighted pipe into the sea. The fire hissed in the +waves; the same instant the ship shot by the bubble the sinking pipe +made. With slouched hat, Ahab lurchingly paced the planks. + + +CHAPTER 31. Queen Mab. + +Next morning Stubb accosted Flask. + +Such a queer dream, King-Post, I never had. You know the old mans +ivory leg, well I dreamed he kicked me with it; and when I tried to +kick back, upon my soul, my little man, I kicked my leg right off! And +then, presto! Ahab seemed a pyramid, and I, like a blazing fool, kept +kicking at it. But what was still more curious, Flaskyou know how +curious all dreams arethrough all this rage that I was in, I somehow +seemed to be thinking to myself, that after all, it was not much of an +insult, that kick from Ahab. Why, thinks I, whats the row? Its not +a real leg, only a false leg. And theres a mighty difference between +a living thump and a dead thump. Thats what makes a blow from the +hand, Flask, fifty times more savage to bear than a blow from a cane. +The living memberthat makes the living insult, my little man. And +thinks I to myself all the while, mind, while I was stubbing my silly +toes against that cursed pyramidso confoundedly contradictory was it +all, all the while, I say, I was thinking to myself, whats his leg +now, but a canea whalebone cane. Yes, thinks I, it was only a +playful cudgellingin fact, only a whaleboning that he gave menot a +base kick. Besides, thinks I, look at it once; why, the end of itthe +foot partwhat a small sort of end it is; whereas, if a broad footed +farmer kicked me, _theres_ a devilish broad insult. But this insult is +whittled down to a point only. But now comes the greatest joke of the +dream, Flask. While I was battering away at the pyramid, a sort of +badger-haired old merman, with a hump on his back, takes me by the +shoulders, and slews me round. What are you bout? says he. Slid! +man, but I was frightened. Such a phiz! But, somehow, next moment I was +over the fright. What am I about? says I at last. And what business +is that of yours, I should like to know, Mr. Humpback? Do _you_ want a +kick? By the lord, Flask, I had no sooner said that, than he turned +round his stern to me, bent over, and dragging up a lot of seaweed he +had for a cloutwhat do you think, I saw?why thunder alive, man, his +stern was stuck full of marlinspikes, with the points out. Says I, on +second thoughts, I guess I wont kick you, old fellow. Wise Stubb, +said he, wise Stubb; and kept muttering it all the time, a sort of +eating of his own gums like a chimney hag. Seeing he wasnt going to +stop saying over his wise Stubb, wise Stubb, I thought I might as +well fall to kicking the pyramid again. But I had only just lifted my +foot for it, when he roared out, Stop that kicking! Halloa, says I, +whats the matter now, old fellow? Look ye here, says he; lets +argue the insult. Captain Ahab kicked ye, didnt he? Yes, he did, +says Iright _here_ it was. Very good, says hehe used his ivory +leg, didnt he? Yes, he did, says I. Well then, says he, wise +Stubb, what have you to complain of? Didnt he kick with right good +will? it wasnt a common pitch pine leg he kicked with, was it? No, you +were kicked by a great man, and with a beautiful ivory leg, Stubb. Its +an honor; I consider it an honor. Listen, wise Stubb. In old England +the greatest lords think it great glory to be slapped by a queen, and +made garter-knights of; but, be _your_ boast, Stubb, that ye were +kicked by old Ahab, and made a wise man of. Remember what I say; _be_ +kicked by him; account his kicks honors; and on no account kick back; +for you cant help yourself, wise Stubb. Dont you see that pyramid? +With that, he all of a sudden seemed somehow, in some queer fashion, to +swim off into the air. I snored; rolled over; and there I was in my +hammock! Now, what do you think of that dream, Flask? + +I dont know; it seems a sort of foolish to me, tho. + +May be; may be. But its made a wise man of me, Flask. Dye see Ahab +standing there, sideways looking over the stern? Well, the best thing +you can do, Flask, is to let the old man alone; never speak to him, +whatever he says. Halloa! Whats that he shouts? Hark! + +Mast-head, there! Look sharp, all of ye! There are whales hereabouts! + +If ye see a white one, split your lungs for him! + +What do you think of that now, Flask? aint there a small drop of +something queer about that, eh? A white whaledid ye mark that, man? +Look yetheres something special in the wind. Stand by for it, Flask. +Ahab has that thats bloody on his mind. But, mum; he comes this way. + + +CHAPTER 32. Cetology. + +Already we are boldly launched upon the deep; but soon we shall be lost +in its unshored, harbourless immensities. Ere that come to pass; ere +the Pequods weedy hull rolls side by side with the barnacled hulls of +the leviathan; at the outset it is but well to attend to a matter +almost indispensable to a thorough appreciative understanding of the +more special leviathanic revelations and allusions of all sorts which +are to follow. + +It is some systematized exhibition of the whale in his broad genera, +that I would now fain put before you. Yet is it no easy task. The +classification of the constituents of a chaos, nothing less is here +essayed. Listen to what the best and latest authorities have laid down. + +No branch of Zoology is so much involved as that which is entitled +Cetology, says Captain Scoresby, A.D. 1820. + +It is not my intention, were it in my power, to enter into the inquiry +as to the true method of dividing the cetacea into groups and families. +* * * Utter confusion exists among the historians of this animal +(sperm whale), says Surgeon Beale, A.D. 1839. + +Unfitness to pursue our research in the unfathomable waters. +Impenetrable veil covering our knowledge of the cetacea. A field +strewn with thorns. All these incomplete indications but serve to +torture us naturalists. + +Thus speak of the whale, the great Cuvier, and John Hunter, and Lesson, +those lights of zoology and anatomy. Nevertheless, though of real +knowledge there be little, yet of books there are a plenty; and so in +some small degree, with cetology, or the science of whales. Many are +the men, small and great, old and new, landsmen and seamen, who have at +large or in little, written of the whale. Run over a few:The Authors +of the Bible; Aristotle; Pliny; Aldrovandi; Sir Thomas Browne; Gesner; +Ray; Linnus; Rondeletius; Willoughby; Green; Artedi; Sibbald; Brisson; +Marten; Lacpde; Bonneterre; Desmarest; Baron Cuvier; Frederick +Cuvier; John Hunter; Owen; Scoresby; Beale; Bennett; J. Ross Browne; +the Author of Miriam Coffin; Olmstead; and the Rev. T. Cheever. But to +what ultimate generalizing purpose all these have written, the above +cited extracts will show. + +Of the names in this list of whale authors, only those following Owen +ever saw living whales; and but one of them was a real professional +harpooneer and whaleman. I mean Captain Scoresby. On the separate +subject of the Greenland or right-whale, he is the best existing +authority. But Scoresby knew nothing and says nothing of the great +sperm whale, compared with which the Greenland whale is almost unworthy +mentioning. And here be it said, that the Greenland whale is an usurper +upon the throne of the seas. He is not even by any means the largest of +the whales. Yet, owing to the long priority of his claims, and the +profound ignorance which, till some seventy years back, invested the +then fabulous or utterly unknown sperm-whale, and which ignorance to +this present day still reigns in all but some few scientific retreats +and whale-ports; this usurpation has been every way complete. Reference +to nearly all the leviathanic allusions in the great poets of past +days, will satisfy you that the Greenland whale, without one rival, was +to them the monarch of the seas. But the time has at last come for a +new proclamation. This is Charing Cross; hear ye! good people all,the +Greenland whale is deposed,the great sperm whale now reigneth! + +There are only two books in being which at all pretend to put the +living sperm whale before you, and at the same time, in the remotest +degree succeed in the attempt. Those books are Beales and Bennetts; +both in their time surgeons to English South-Sea whale-ships, and both +exact and reliable men. The original matter touching the sperm whale to +be found in their volumes is necessarily small; but so far as it goes, +it is of excellent quality, though mostly confined to scientific +description. As yet, however, the sperm whale, scientific or poetic, +lives not complete in any literature. Far above all other hunted +whales, his is an unwritten life. + +Now the various species of whales need some sort of popular +comprehensive classification, if only an easy outline one for the +present, hereafter to be filled in all its departments by subsequent +laborers. As no better man advances to take this matter in hand, I +hereupon offer my own poor endeavors. I promise nothing complete; +because any human thing supposed to be complete, must for that very +reason infallibly be faulty. I shall not pretend to a minute anatomical +description of the various species, orin this place at leastto much +of any description. My object here is simply to project the draught of +a systematization of cetology. I am the architect, not the builder. + +But it is a ponderous task; no ordinary letter-sorter in the +Post-Office is equal to it. To grope down into the bottom of the sea +after them; to have ones hands among the unspeakable foundations, +ribs, and very pelvis of the world; this is a fearful thing. What am I +that I should essay to hook the nose of this leviathan! The awful +tauntings in Job might well appal me. Will he (the leviathan) make a +covenant with thee? Behold the hope of him is vain! But I have swam +through libraries and sailed through oceans; I have had to do with +whales with these visible hands; I am in earnest; and I will try. There +are some preliminaries to settle. + +First: The uncertain, unsettled condition of this science of Cetology +is in the very vestibule attested by the fact, that in some quarters it +still remains a moot point whether a whale be a fish. In his System of +Nature, A.D. 1776, Linnus declares, I hereby separate the whales from +the fish. But of my own knowledge, I know that down to the year 1850, +sharks and shad, alewives and herring, against Linnuss express edict, +were still found dividing the possession of the same seas with the +Leviathan. + +The grounds upon which Linnus would fain have banished the whales from +the waters, he states as follows: On account of their warm bilocular +heart, their lungs, their movable eyelids, their hollow ears, penem +intrantem feminam mammis lactantem, and finally, ex lege natur jure +meritoque. I submitted all this to my friends Simeon Macey and Charley +Coffin, of Nantucket, both messmates of mine in a certain voyage, and +they united in the opinion that the reasons set forth were altogether +insufficient. Charley profanely hinted they were humbug. + +Be it known that, waiving all argument, I take the good old fashioned +ground that the whale is a fish, and call upon holy Jonah to back me. +This fundamental thing settled, the next point is, in what internal +respect does the whale differ from other fish. Above, Linnus has given +you those items. But in brief, they are these: lungs and warm blood; +whereas, all other fish are lungless and cold blooded. + +Next: how shall we define the whale, by his obvious externals, so as +conspicuously to label him for all time to come? To be short, then, a +whale is _a spouting fish with a horizontal tail_. There you have him. +However contracted, that definition is the result of expanded +meditation. A walrus spouts much like a whale, but the walrus is not a +fish, because he is amphibious. But the last term of the definition is +still more cogent, as coupled with the first. Almost any one must have +noticed that all the fish familiar to landsmen have not a flat, but a +vertical, or up-and-down tail. Whereas, among spouting fish the tail, +though it may be similarly shaped, invariably assumes a horizontal +position. + +By the above definition of what a whale is, I do by no means exclude +from the leviathanic brotherhood any sea creature hitherto identified +with the whale by the best informed Nantucketers; nor, on the other +hand, link with it any fish hitherto authoritatively regarded as +alien.* Hence, all the smaller, spouting, and horizontal tailed fish +must be included in this ground-plan of Cetology. Now, then, come the +grand divisions of the entire whale host. + +*I am aware that down to the present time, the fish styled Lamatins and +Dugongs (Pig-fish and Sow-fish of the Coffins of Nantucket) are +included by many naturalists among the whales. But as these pig-fish +are a noisy, contemptible set, mostly lurking in the mouths of rivers, +and feeding on wet hay, and especially as they do not spout, I deny +their credentials as whales; and have presented them with their +passports to quit the Kingdom of Cetology. + +First: According to magnitude I divide the whales into three primary +BOOKS (subdivisible into CHAPTERS), and these shall comprehend them +all, both small and large. + +I. THE FOLIO WHALE; II. the OCTAVO WHALE; III. the DUODECIMO WHALE. + +As the type of the FOLIO I present the _Sperm Whale_; of the OCTAVO, +the _Grampus_; of the DUODECIMO, the _Porpoise_. + +FOLIOS. Among these I here include the following chapters:I. The +_Sperm Whale_; II. the _Right Whale_; III. the _Fin-Back Whale_; IV. +the _Hump-backed Whale_; V. the _Razor Back Whale_; VI. the _Sulphur +Bottom Whale_. + +BOOK I. (_Folio_), CHAPTER I. (_Sperm Whale_).This whale, among the +English of old vaguely known as the Trumpa whale, and the Physeter +whale, and the Anvil Headed whale, is the present Cachalot of the +French, and the Pottsfich of the Germans, and the Macrocephalus of the +Long Words. He is, without doubt, the largest inhabitant of the globe; +the most formidable of all whales to encounter; the most majestic in +aspect; and lastly, by far the most valuable in commerce; he being the +only creature from which that valuable substance, spermaceti, is +obtained. All his peculiarities will, in many other places, be enlarged +upon. It is chiefly with his name that I now have to do. Philologically +considered, it is absurd. Some centuries ago, when the Sperm whale was +almost wholly unknown in his own proper individuality, and when his oil +was only accidentally obtained from the stranded fish; in those days +spermaceti, it would seem, was popularly supposed to be derived from a +creature identical with the one then known in England as the Greenland +or Right Whale. It was the idea also, that this same spermaceti was +that quickening humor of the Greenland Whale which the first syllable +of the word literally expresses. In those times, also, spermaceti was +exceedingly scarce, not being used for light, but only as an ointment +and medicament. It was only to be had from the druggists as you +nowadays buy an ounce of rhubarb. When, as I opine, in the course of +time, the true nature of spermaceti became known, its original name was +still retained by the dealers; no doubt to enhance its value by a +notion so strangely significant of its scarcity. And so the appellation +must at last have come to be bestowed upon the whale from which this +spermaceti was really derived. + +BOOK I. (_Folio_), CHAPTER II. (_Right Whale_).In one respect this is +the most venerable of the leviathans, being the one first regularly +hunted by man. It yields the article commonly known as whalebone or +baleen; and the oil specially known as whale oil, an inferior article +in commerce. Among the fishermen, he is indiscriminately designated by +all the following titles: The Whale; the Greenland Whale; the Black +Whale; the Great Whale; the True Whale; the Right Whale. There is a +deal of obscurity concerning the identity of the species thus +multitudinously baptised. What then is the whale, which I include in +the second species of my Folios? It is the Great Mysticetus of the +English naturalists; the Greenland Whale of the English whalemen; the +Baleine Ordinaire of the French whalemen; the Growlands Walfish of the +Swedes. It is the whale which for more than two centuries past has been +hunted by the Dutch and English in the Arctic seas; it is the whale +which the American fishermen have long pursued in the Indian ocean, on +the Brazil Banks, on the Nor West Coast, and various other parts of +the world, designated by them Right Whale Cruising Grounds. + +Some pretend to see a difference between the Greenland whale of the +English and the right whale of the Americans. But they precisely agree +in all their grand features; nor has there yet been presented a single +determinate fact upon which to ground a radical distinction. It is by +endless subdivisions based upon the most inconclusive differences, that +some departments of natural history become so repellingly intricate. +The right whale will be elsewhere treated of at some length, with +reference to elucidating the sperm whale. + +BOOK I. (_Folio_), CHAPTER III. (_Fin-Back_).Under this head I reckon +a monster which, by the various names of Fin-Back, Tall-Spout, and +Long-John, has been seen almost in every sea and is commonly the whale +whose distant jet is so often descried by passengers crossing the +Atlantic, in the New York packet-tracks. In the length he attains, and +in his baleen, the Fin-back resembles the right whale, but is of a less +portly girth, and a lighter colour, approaching to olive. His great +lips present a cable-like aspect, formed by the intertwisting, slanting +folds of large wrinkles. His grand distinguishing feature, the fin, +from which he derives his name, is often a conspicuous object. This fin +is some three or four feet long, growing vertically from the hinder +part of the back, of an angular shape, and with a very sharp pointed +end. Even if not the slightest other part of the creature be visible, +this isolated fin will, at times, be seen plainly projecting from the +surface. When the sea is moderately calm, and slightly marked with +spherical ripples, and this gnomon-like fin stands up and casts shadows +upon the wrinkled surface, it may well be supposed that the watery +circle surrounding it somewhat resembles a dial, with its style and +wavy hour-lines graved on it. On that Ahaz-dial the shadow often goes +back. The Fin-Back is not gregarious. He seems a whale-hater, as some +men are man-haters. Very shy; always going solitary; unexpectedly +rising to the surface in the remotest and most sullen waters; his +straight and single lofty jet rising like a tall misanthropic spear +upon a barren plain; gifted with such wondrous power and velocity in +swimming, as to defy all present pursuit from man; this leviathan seems +the banished and unconquerable Cain of his race, bearing for his mark +that style upon his back. From having the baleen in his mouth, the +Fin-Back is sometimes included with the right whale, among a theoretic +species denominated _Whalebone whales_, that is, whales with baleen. Of +these so called Whalebone whales, there would seem to be several +varieties, most of which, however, are little known. Broad-nosed whales +and beaked whales; pike-headed whales; bunched whales; under-jawed +whales and rostrated whales, are the fishermens names for a few sorts. + +In connection with this appellative of Whalebone whales, it is of +great importance to mention, that however such a nomenclature may be +convenient in facilitating allusions to some kind of whales, yet it is +in vain to attempt a clear classification of the Leviathan, founded +upon either his baleen, or hump, or fin, or teeth; notwithstanding that +those marked parts or features very obviously seem better adapted to +afford the basis for a regular system of Cetology than any other +detached bodily distinctions, which the whale, in his kinds, presents. +How then? The baleen, hump, back-fin, and teeth; these are things whose +peculiarities are indiscriminately dispersed among all sorts of whales, +without any regard to what may be the nature of their structure in +other and more essential particulars. Thus, the sperm whale and the +humpbacked whale, each has a hump; but there the similitude ceases. +Then, this same humpbacked whale and the Greenland whale, each of these +has baleen; but there again the similitude ceases. And it is just the +same with the other parts above mentioned. In various sorts of whales, +they form such irregular combinations; or, in the case of any one of +them detached, such an irregular isolation; as utterly to defy all +general methodization formed upon such a basis. On this rock every one +of the whale-naturalists has split. + +But it may possibly be conceived that, in the internal parts of the +whale, in his anatomythere, at least, we shall be able to hit the +right classification. Nay; what thing, for example, is there in the +Greenland whales anatomy more striking than his baleen? Yet we have +seen that by his baleen it is impossible correctly to classify the +Greenland whale. And if you descend into the bowels of the various +leviathans, why there you will not find distinctions a fiftieth part as +available to the systematizer as those external ones already +enumerated. What then remains? nothing but to take hold of the whales +bodily, in their entire liberal volume, and boldly sort them that way. +And this is the Bibliographical system here adopted; and it is the only +one that can possibly succeed, for it alone is practicable. To proceed. + +BOOK I. (_Folio_) CHAPTER IV. (_Hump Back_).This whale is often seen +on the northern American coast. He has been frequently captured there, +and towed into harbor. He has a great pack on him like a peddler; or +you might call him the Elephant and Castle whale. At any rate, the +popular name for him does not sufficiently distinguish him, since the +sperm whale also has a hump though a smaller one. His oil is not very +valuable. He has baleen. He is the most gamesome and light-hearted of +all the whales, making more gay foam and white water generally than any +other of them. + +BOOK I. (_Folio_), CHAPTER V. (_Razor Back_).Of this whale little is +known but his name. I have seen him at a distance off Cape Horn. Of a +retiring nature, he eludes both hunters and philosophers. Though no +coward, he has never yet shown any part of him but his back, which +rises in a long sharp ridge. Let him go. I know little more of him, nor +does anybody else. + +BOOK I. (_Folio_), CHAPTER VI. (_Sulphur Bottom_).Another retiring +gentleman, with a brimstone belly, doubtless got by scraping along the +Tartarian tiles in some of his profounder divings. He is seldom seen; +at least I have never seen him except in the remoter southern seas, and +then always at too great a distance to study his countenance. He is +never chased; he would run away with rope-walks of line. Prodigies are +told of him. Adieu, Sulphur Bottom! I can say nothing more that is true +of ye, nor can the oldest Nantucketer. + +Thus ends BOOK I. (_Folio_), and now begins BOOK II. (_Octavo_). + +OCTAVOES.*These embrace the whales of middling magnitude, among which +present may be numbered:I., the _Grampus_; II., the _Black Fish_; +III., the _Narwhale_; IV., the _Thrasher_; V., the _Killer_. + +*Why this book of whales is not denominated the Quarto is very plain. +Because, while the whales of this order, though smaller than those of +the former order, nevertheless retain a proportionate likeness to them +in figure, yet the bookbinders Quarto volume in its dimensioned form +does not preserve the shape of the Folio volume, but the Octavo volume +does. + +BOOK II. (_Octavo_), CHAPTER I. (_Grampus_).Though this fish, whose +loud sonorous breathing, or rather blowing, has furnished a proverb to +landsmen, is so well known a denizen of the deep, yet is he not +popularly classed among whales. But possessing all the grand +distinctive features of the leviathan, most naturalists have recognised +him for one. He is of moderate octavo size, varying from fifteen to +twenty-five feet in length, and of corresponding dimensions round the +waist. He swims in herds; he is never regularly hunted, though his oil +is considerable in quantity, and pretty good for light. By some +fishermen his approach is regarded as premonitory of the advance of the +great sperm whale. + +BOOK II. (_Octavo_), CHAPTER II. (_Black Fish_).I give the popular +fishermens names for all these fish, for generally they are the best. +Where any name happens to be vague or inexpressive, I shall say so, and +suggest another. I do so now, touching the Black Fish, so-called, +because blackness is the rule among almost all whales. So, call him the +Hyena Whale, if you please. His voracity is well known, and from the +circumstance that the inner angles of his lips are curved upwards, he +carries an everlasting Mephistophelean grin on his face. This whale +averages some sixteen or eighteen feet in length. He is found in almost +all latitudes. He has a peculiar way of showing his dorsal hooked fin +in swimming, which looks something like a Roman nose. When not more +profitably employed, the sperm whale hunters sometimes capture the +Hyena whale, to keep up the supply of cheap oil for domestic +employmentas some frugal housekeepers, in the absence of company, and +quite alone by themselves, burn unsavory tallow instead of odorous wax. +Though their blubber is very thin, some of these whales will yield you +upwards of thirty gallons of oil. + +BOOK II. (_Octavo_), CHAPTER III. (_Narwhale_), that is, _Nostril +whale_.Another instance of a curiously named whale, so named I suppose +from his peculiar horn being originally mistaken for a peaked nose. The +creature is some sixteen feet in length, while its horn averages five +feet, though some exceed ten, and even attain to fifteen feet. Strictly +speaking, this horn is but a lengthened tusk, growing out from the jaw +in a line a little depressed from the horizontal. But it is only found +on the sinister side, which has an ill effect, giving its owner +something analogous to the aspect of a clumsy left-handed man. What +precise purpose this ivory horn or lance answers, it would be hard to +say. It does not seem to be used like the blade of the sword-fish and +bill-fish; though some sailors tell me that the Narwhale employs it for +a rake in turning over the bottom of the sea for food. Charley Coffin +said it was used for an ice-piercer; for the Narwhale, rising to the +surface of the Polar Sea, and finding it sheeted with ice, thrusts his +horn up, and so breaks through. But you cannot prove either of these +surmises to be correct. My own opinion is, that however this one-sided +horn may really be used by the Narwhalehowever that may beit would +certainly be very convenient to him for a folder in reading pamphlets. +The Narwhale I have heard called the Tusked whale, the Horned whale, +and the Unicorn whale. He is certainly a curious example of the +Unicornism to be found in almost every kingdom of animated nature. From +certain cloistered old authors I have gathered that this same +sea-unicorns horn was in ancient days regarded as the great antidote +against poison, and as such, preparations of it brought immense prices. +It was also distilled to a volatile salts for fainting ladies, the same +way that the horns of the male deer are manufactured into hartshorn. +Originally it was in itself accounted an object of great curiosity. +Black Letter tells me that Sir Martin Frobisher on his return from that +voyage, when Queen Bess did gallantly wave her jewelled hand to him +from a window of Greenwich Palace, as his bold ship sailed down the +Thames; when Sir Martin returned from that voyage, saith Black +Letter, on bended knees he presented to her highness a prodigious long +horn of the Narwhale, which for a long period after hung in the castle +at Windsor. An Irish author avers that the Earl of Leicester, on +bended knees, did likewise present to her highness another horn, +pertaining to a land beast of the unicorn nature. + +The Narwhale has a very picturesque, leopard-like look, being of a +milk-white ground colour, dotted with round and oblong spots of black. +His oil is very superior, clear and fine; but there is little of it, +and he is seldom hunted. He is mostly found in the circumpolar seas. + +BOOK II. (_Octavo_), CHAPTER IV. (_Killer_).Of this whale little is +precisely known to the Nantucketer, and nothing at all to the professed +naturalist. From what I have seen of him at a distance, I should say +that he was about the bigness of a grampus. He is very savagea sort of +Feegee fish. He sometimes takes the great Folio whales by the lip, and +hangs there like a leech, till the mighty brute is worried to death. +The Killer is never hunted. I never heard what sort of oil he has. +Exception might be taken to the name bestowed upon this whale, on the +ground of its indistinctness. For we are all killers, on land and on +sea; Bonapartes and Sharks included. + +BOOK II. (_Octavo_), CHAPTER V. (_Thrasher_).This gentleman is famous +for his tail, which he uses for a ferule in thrashing his foes. He +mounts the Folio whales back, and as he swims, he works his passage by +flogging him; as some schoolmasters get along in the world by a similar +process. Still less is known of the Thrasher than of the Killer. Both +are outlaws, even in the lawless seas. + + Thus ends BOOK II. (_Octavo_), and begins BOOK III.

The Mealy-mouthed Porpoise. + +To those who have not chanced specially to study the subject, it may +possibly seem strange, that fishes not commonly exceeding four or five +feet should be marshalled among WHALESa word, which, in the popular +sense, always conveys an idea of hugeness. But the creatures set down +above as Duodecimoes are infallibly whales, by the terms of my +definition of what a whale is_i.e._ a spouting fish, with a horizontal +tail. + +BOOK III. (_Duodecimo_), CHAPTER 1. (_Huzza Porpoise_).This is the +common porpoise found almost all over the globe. The name is of my own +bestowal; for there are more than one sort of porpoises, and something +must be done to distinguish them. I call him thus, because he always +swims in hilarious shoals, which upon the broad sea keep tossing +themselves to heaven like caps in a Fourth-of-July crowd. Their +appearance is generally hailed with delight by the mariner. Full of +fine spirits, they invariably come from the breezy billows to windward. +They are the lads that always live before the wind. They are accounted +a lucky omen. If you yourself can withstand three cheers at beholding +these vivacious fish, then heaven help ye; the spirit of godly +gamesomeness is not in ye. A well-fed, plump Huzza Porpoise will yield +you one good gallon of good oil. But the fine and delicate fluid +extracted from his jaws is exceedingly valuable. It is in request among +jewellers and watchmakers. Sailors put it on their hones. Porpoise meat +is good eating, you know. It may never have occurred to you that a +porpoise spouts. Indeed, his spout is so small that it is not very +readily discernible. But the next time you have a chance, watch him; +and you will then see the great Sperm whale himself in miniature. + +BOOK III. (_Duodecimo_), CHAPTER II. (_Algerine Porpoise_).A pirate. +Very savage. He is only found, I think, in the Pacific. He is somewhat +larger than the Huzza Porpoise, but much of the same general make. +Provoke him, and he will buckle to a shark. I have lowered for him many +times, but never yet saw him captured. + +BOOK III. (_Duodecimo_), CHAPTER III. (_Mealy-mouthed Porpoise_).The +largest kind of Porpoise; and only found in the Pacific, so far as it +is known. The only English name, by which he has hitherto been +designated, is that of the fishersRight-Whale Porpoise, from the +circumstance that he is chiefly found in the vicinity of that Folio. In +shape, he differs in some degree from the Huzza Porpoise, being of a +less rotund and jolly girth; indeed, he is of quite a neat and +gentleman-like figure. He has no fins on his back (most other porpoises +have), he has a lovely tail, and sentimental Indian eyes of a hazel +hue. But his mealy-mouth spoils all. Though his entire back down to his +side fins is of a deep sable, yet a boundary line, distinct as the mark +in a ships hull, called the bright waist, that line streaks him from +stem to stern, with two separate colours, black above and white below. +The white comprises part of his head, and the whole of his mouth, which +makes him look as if he had just escaped from a felonious visit to a +meal-bag. A most mean and mealy aspect! His oil is much like that of +the common porpoise. + + * * * * * * + +Beyond the DUODECIMO, this system does not proceed, inasmuch as the +Porpoise is the smallest of the whales. Above, you have all the +Leviathans of note. But there are a rabble of uncertain, fugitive, +half-fabulous whales, which, as an American whaleman, I know by +reputation, but not personally. I shall enumerate them by their +fore-castle appellations; for possibly such a list may be valuable to +future investigators, who may complete what I have here but begun. If +any of the following whales, shall hereafter be caught and marked, then +he can readily be incorporated into this System, according to his +Folio, Octavo, or Duodecimo magnitude:The Bottle-Nose Whale; the Junk +Whale; the Pudding-Headed Whale; the Cape Whale; the Leading Whale; the +Cannon Whale; the Scragg Whale; the Coppered Whale; the Elephant Whale; +the Iceberg Whale; the Quog Whale; the Blue Whale; etc. From Icelandic, +Dutch, and old English authorities, there might be quoted other lists +of uncertain whales, blessed with all manner of uncouth names. But I +omit them as altogether obsolete; and can hardly help suspecting them +for mere sounds, full of Leviathanism, but signifying nothing. + +Finally: It was stated at the outset, that this system would not be +here, and at once, perfected. You cannot but plainly see that I have +kept my word. But I now leave my cetological System standing thus +unfinished, even as the great Cathedral of Cologne was left, with the +crane still standing upon the top of the uncompleted tower. For small +erections may be finished by their first architects; grand ones, true +ones, ever leave the copestone to posterity. God keep me from ever +completing anything. This whole book is but a draughtnay, but the +draught of a draught. Oh, Time, Strength, Cash, and Patience! + + +CHAPTER 33. The Specksnyder. + +Concerning the officers of the whale-craft, this seems as good a place +as any to set down a little domestic peculiarity on ship-board, arising +from the existence of the harpooneer class of officers, a class unknown +of course in any other marine than the whale-fleet. + +The large importance attached to the harpooneers vocation is evinced +by the fact, that originally in the old Dutch Fishery, two centuries +and more ago, the command of a whale ship was not wholly lodged in the +person now called the captain, but was divided between him and an +officer called the Specksnyder. Literally this word means Fat-Cutter; +usage, however, in time made it equivalent to Chief Harpooneer. In +those days, the captains authority was restricted to the navigation +and general management of the vessel; while over the whale-hunting +department and all its concerns, the Specksnyder or Chief Harpooneer +reigned supreme. In the British Greenland Fishery, under the corrupted +title of Specksioneer, this old Dutch official is still retained, but +his former dignity is sadly abridged. At present he ranks simply as +senior Harpooneer; and as such, is but one of the captains more +inferior subalterns. Nevertheless, as upon the good conduct of the +harpooneers the success of a whaling voyage largely depends, and since +in the American Fishery he is not only an important officer in the +boat, but under certain circumstances (night watches on a whaling +ground) the command of the ships deck is also his; therefore the grand +political maxim of the sea demands, that he should nominally live apart +from the men before the mast, and be in some way distinguished as their +professional superior; though always, by them, familiarly regarded as +their social equal. + +Now, the grand distinction drawn between officer and man at sea, is +thisthe first lives aft, the last forward. Hence, in whale-ships and +merchantmen alike, the mates have their quarters with the captain; and +so, too, in most of the American whalers the harpooneers are lodged in +the after part of the ship. That is to say, they take their meals in +the captains cabin, and sleep in a place indirectly communicating with +it. + +Though the long period of a Southern whaling voyage (by far the longest +of all voyages now or ever made by man), the peculiar perils of it, and +the community of interest prevailing among a company, all of whom, high +or low, depend for their profits, not upon fixed wages, but upon their +common luck, together with their common vigilance, intrepidity, and +hard work; though all these things do in some cases tend to beget a +less rigorous discipline than in merchantmen generally; yet, never mind +how much like an old Mesopotamian family these whalemen may, in some +primitive instances, live together; for all that, the punctilious +externals, at least, of the quarter-deck are seldom materially relaxed, +and in no instance done away. Indeed, many are the Nantucket ships in +which you will see the skipper parading his quarter-deck with an elated +grandeur not surpassed in any military navy; nay, extorting almost as +much outward homage as if he wore the imperial purple, and not the +shabbiest of pilot-cloth. + +And though of all men the moody captain of the Pequod was the least +given to that sort of shallowest assumption; and though the only homage +he ever exacted, was implicit, instantaneous obedience; though he +required no man to remove the shoes from his feet ere stepping upon the +quarter-deck; and though there were times when, owing to peculiar +circumstances connected with events hereafter to be detailed, he +addressed them in unusual terms, whether of condescension or _in +terrorem_, or otherwise; yet even Captain Ahab was by no means +unobservant of the paramount forms and usages of the sea. + +Nor, perhaps, will it fail to be eventually perceived, that behind +those forms and usages, as it were, he sometimes masked himself; +incidentally making use of them for other and more private ends than +they were legitimately intended to subserve. That certain sultanism of +his brain, which had otherwise in a good degree remained unmanifested; +through those forms that same sultanism became incarnate in an +irresistible dictatorship. For be a mans intellectual superiority what +it will, it can never assume the practical, available supremacy over +other men, without the aid of some sort of external arts and +entrenchments, always, in themselves, more or less paltry and base. +This it is, that for ever keeps Gods true princes of the Empire from +the worlds hustings; and leaves the highest honors that this air can +give, to those men who become famous more through their infinite +inferiority to the choice hidden handful of the Divine Inert, than +through their undoubted superiority over the dead level of the mass. +Such large virtue lurks in these small things when extreme political +superstitions invest them, that in some royal instances even to idiot +imbecility they have imparted potency. But when, as in the case of +Nicholas the Czar, the ringed crown of geographical empire encircles an +imperial brain; then, the plebeian herds crouch abased before the +tremendous centralization. Nor, will the tragic dramatist who would +depict mortal indomitableness in its fullest sweep and direct swing, +ever forget a hint, incidentally so important in his art, as the one +now alluded to. + +But Ahab, my Captain, still moves before me in all his Nantucket +grimness and shagginess; and in this episode touching Emperors and +Kings, I must not conceal that I have only to do with a poor old +whale-hunter like him; and, therefore, all outward majestical trappings +and housings are denied me. Oh, Ahab! what shall be grand in thee, it +must needs be plucked at from the skies, and dived for in the deep, and +featured in the unbodied air! + + +CHAPTER 34. The Cabin-Table. + +It is noon; and Dough-Boy, the steward, thrusting his pale +loaf-of-bread face from the cabin-scuttle, announces dinner to his lord +and master; who, sitting in the lee quarter-boat, has just been taking +an observation of the sun; and is now mutely reckoning the latitude on +the smooth, medallion-shaped tablet, reserved for that daily purpose on +the upper part of his ivory leg. From his complete inattention to the +tidings, you would think that moody Ahab had not heard his menial. But +presently, catching hold of the mizen shrouds, he swings himself to the +deck, and in an even, unexhilarated voice, saying, Dinner, Mr. +Starbuck, disappears into the cabin. + +When the last echo of his sultans step has died away, and Starbuck, +the first Emir, has every reason to suppose that he is seated, then +Starbuck rouses from his quietude, takes a few turns along the planks, +and, after a grave peep into the binnacle, says, with some touch of +pleasantness, Dinner, Mr. Stubb, and descends the scuttle. The second +Emir lounges about the rigging awhile, and then slightly shaking the +main brace, to see whether it will be all right with that important +rope, he likewise takes up the old burden, and with a rapid Dinner, +Mr. Flask, follows after his predecessors. + +But the third Emir, now seeing himself all alone on the quarter-deck, +seems to feel relieved from some curious restraint; for, tipping all +sorts of knowing winks in all sorts of directions, and kicking off his +shoes, he strikes into a sharp but noiseless squall of a hornpipe right +over the Grand Turks head; and then, by a dexterous sleight, pitching +his cap up into the mizentop for a shelf, he goes down rollicking so +far at least as he remains visible from the deck, reversing all other +processions, by bringing up the rear with music. But ere stepping into +the cabin doorway below, he pauses, ships a new face altogether, and, +then, independent, hilarious little Flask enters King Ahabs presence, +in the character of Abjectus, or the Slave. + +It is not the least among the strange things bred by the intense +artificialness of sea-usages, that while in the open air of the deck +some officers will, upon provocation, bear themselves boldly and +defyingly enough towards their commander; yet, ten to one, let those +very officers the next moment go down to their customary dinner in that +same commanders cabin, and straightway their inoffensive, not to say +deprecatory and humble air towards him, as he sits at the head of the +table; this is marvellous, sometimes most comical. Wherefore this +difference? A problem? Perhaps not. To have been Belshazzar, King of +Babylon; and to have been Belshazzar, not haughtily but courteously, +therein certainly must have been some touch of mundane grandeur. But he +who in the rightly regal and intelligent spirit presides over his own +private dinner-table of invited guests, that mans unchallenged power +and dominion of individual influence for the time; that mans royalty +of state transcends Belshazzars, for Belshazzar was not the greatest. +Who has but once dined his friends, has tasted what it is to be Csar. +It is a witchery of social czarship which there is no withstanding. +Now, if to this consideration you superadd the official supremacy of a +ship-master, then, by inference, you will derive the cause of that +peculiarity of sea-life just mentioned. + +Over his ivory-inlaid table, Ahab presided like a mute, maned sea-lion +on the white coral beach, surrounded by his warlike but still +deferential cubs. In his own proper turn, each officer waited to be +served. They were as little children before Ahab; and yet, in Ahab, +there seemed not to lurk the smallest social arrogance. With one mind, +their intent eyes all fastened upon the old mans knife, as he carved +the chief dish before him. I do not suppose that for the world they +would have profaned that moment with the slightest observation, even +upon so neutral a topic as the weather. No! And when reaching out his +knife and fork, between which the slice of beef was locked, Ahab +thereby motioned Starbucks plate towards him, the mate received his +meat as though receiving alms; and cut it tenderly; and a little +started if, perchance, the knife grazed against the plate; and chewed +it noiselessly; and swallowed it, not without circumspection. For, like +the Coronation banquet at Frankfort, where the German Emperor +profoundly dines with the seven Imperial Electors, so these cabin meals +were somehow solemn meals, eaten in awful silence; and yet at table old +Ahab forbade not conversation; only he himself was dumb. What a relief +it was to choking Stubb, when a rat made a sudden racket in the hold +below. And poor little Flask, he was the youngest son, and little boy +of this weary family party. His were the shinbones of the saline beef; +his would have been the drumsticks. For Flask to have presumed to help +himself, this must have seemed to him tantamount to larceny in the +first degree. Had he helped himself at that table, doubtless, never +more would he have been able to hold his head up in this honest world; +nevertheless, strange to say, Ahab never forbade him. And had Flask +helped himself, the chances were Ahab had never so much as noticed it. +Least of all, did Flask presume to help himself to butter. Whether he +thought the owners of the ship denied it to him, on account of its +clotting his clear, sunny complexion; or whether he deemed that, on so +long a voyage in such marketless waters, butter was at a premium, and +therefore was not for him, a subaltern; however it was, Flask, alas! +was a butterless man! + +Another thing. Flask was the last person down at the dinner, and Flask +is the first man up. Consider! For hereby Flasks dinner was badly +jammed in point of time. Starbuck and Stubb both had the start of him; +and yet they also have the privilege of lounging in the rear. If Stubb +even, who is but a peg higher than Flask, happens to have but a small +appetite, and soon shows symptoms of concluding his repast, then Flask +must bestir himself, he will not get more than three mouthfuls that +day; for it is against holy usage for Stubb to precede Flask to the +deck. Therefore it was that Flask once admitted in private, that ever +since he had arisen to the dignity of an officer, from that moment he +had never known what it was to be otherwise than hungry, more or less. +For what he ate did not so much relieve his hunger, as keep it immortal +in him. Peace and satisfaction, thought Flask, have for ever departed +from my stomach. I am an officer; but, how I wish I could fish a bit of +old-fashioned beef in the forecastle, as I used to when I was before +the mast. Theres the fruits of promotion now; theres the vanity of +glory: theres the insanity of life! Besides, if it were so that any +mere sailor of the Pequod had a grudge against Flask in Flasks +official capacity, all that sailor had to do, in order to obtain ample +vengeance, was to go aft at dinner-time, and get a peep at Flask +through the cabin sky-light, sitting silly and dumfoundered before +awful Ahab. + +Now, Ahab and his three mates formed what may be called the first table +in the Pequods cabin. After their departure, taking place in inverted +order to their arrival, the canvas cloth was cleared, or rather was +restored to some hurried order by the pallid steward. And then the +three harpooneers were bidden to the feast, they being its residuary +legatees. They made a sort of temporary servants hall of the high and +mighty cabin. + +In strange contrast to the hardly tolerable constraint and nameless +invisible domineerings of the captains table, was the entire care-free +license and ease, the almost frantic democracy of those inferior +fellows the harpooneers. While their masters, the mates, seemed afraid +of the sound of the hinges of their own jaws, the harpooneers chewed +their food with such a relish that there was a report to it. They dined +like lords; they filled their bellies like Indian ships all day loading +with spices. Such portentous appetites had Queequeg and Tashtego, that +to fill out the vacancies made by the previous repast, often the pale +Dough-Boy was fain to bring on a great baron of salt-junk, seemingly +quarried out of the solid ox. And if he were not lively about it, if he +did not go with a nimble hop-skip-and-jump, then Tashtego had an +ungentlemanly way of accelerating him by darting a fork at his back, +harpoon-wise. And once Daggoo, seized with a sudden humor, assisted +Dough-Boys memory by snatching him up bodily, and thrusting his head +into a great empty wooden trencher, while Tashtego, knife in hand, +began laying out the circle preliminary to scalping him. He was +naturally a very nervous, shuddering sort of little fellow, this +bread-faced steward; the progeny of a bankrupt baker and a hospital +nurse. And what with the standing spectacle of the black terrific Ahab, +and the periodical tumultuous visitations of these three savages, +Dough-Boys whole life was one continual lip-quiver. Commonly, after +seeing the harpooneers furnished with all things they demanded, he +would escape from their clutches into his little pantry adjoining, and +fearfully peep out at them through the blinds of its door, till all was +over. + +It was a sight to see Queequeg seated over against Tashtego, opposing +his filed teeth to the Indians: crosswise to them, Daggoo seated on +the floor, for a bench would have brought his hearse-plumed head to the +low carlines; at every motion of his colossal limbs, making the low +cabin framework to shake, as when an African elephant goes passenger in +a ship. But for all this, the great negro was wonderfully abstemious, +not to say dainty. It seemed hardly possible that by such comparatively +small mouthfuls he could keep up the vitality diffused through so +broad, baronial, and superb a person. But, doubtless, this noble savage +fed strong and drank deep of the abounding element of air; and through +his dilated nostrils snuffed in the sublime life of the worlds. Not by +beef or by bread, are giants made or nourished. But Queequeg, he had a +mortal, barbaric smack of the lip in eatingan ugly sound enoughso +much so, that the trembling Dough-Boy almost looked to see whether any +marks of teeth lurked in his own lean arms. And when he would hear +Tashtego singing out for him to produce himself, that his bones might +be picked, the simple-witted steward all but shattered the crockery +hanging round him in the pantry, by his sudden fits of the palsy. Nor +did the whetstone which the harpooneers carried in their pockets, for +their lances and other weapons; and with which whetstones, at dinner, +they would ostentatiously sharpen their knives; that grating sound did +not at all tend to tranquillize poor Dough-Boy. How could he forget +that in his Island days, Queequeg, for one, must certainly have been +guilty of some murderous, convivial indiscretions. Alas! Dough-Boy! +hard fares the white waiter who waits upon cannibals. Not a napkin +should he carry on his arm, but a buckler. In good time, though, to his +great delight, the three salt-sea warriors would rise and depart; to +his credulous, fable-mongering ears, all their martial bones jingling +in them at every step, like Moorish scimetars in scabbards. + +But, though these barbarians dined in the cabin, and nominally lived +there; still, being anything but sedentary in their habits, they were +scarcely ever in it except at mealtimes, and just before sleeping-time, +when they passed through it to their own peculiar quarters. + +In this one matter, Ahab seemed no exception to most American whale +captains, who, as a set, rather incline to the opinion that by rights +the ships cabin belongs to them; and that it is by courtesy alone that +anybody else is, at any time, permitted there. So that, in real truth, +the mates and harpooneers of the Pequod might more properly be said to +have lived out of the cabin than in it. For when they did enter it, it +was something as a street-door enters a house; turning inwards for a +moment, only to be turned out the next; and, as a permanent thing, +residing in the open air. Nor did they lose much hereby; in the cabin +was no companionship; socially, Ahab was inaccessible. Though nominally +included in the census of Christendom, he was still an alien to it. He +lived in the world, as the last of the Grisly Bears lived in settled +Missouri. And as when Spring and Summer had departed, that wild Logan +of the woods, burying himself in the hollow of a tree, lived out the +winter there, sucking his own paws; so, in his inclement, howling old +age, Ahabs soul, shut up in the caved trunk of his body, there fed +upon the sullen paws of its gloom! + + +CHAPTER 35. The Mast-Head. + +It was during the more pleasant weather, that in due rotation with the +other seamen my first mast-head came round. + +In most American whalemen the mast-heads are manned almost +simultaneously with the vessels leaving her port; even though she may +have fifteen thousand miles, and more, to sail ere reaching her proper +cruising ground. And if, after a three, four, or five years voyage she +is drawing nigh home with anything empty in hersay, an empty vial +eventhen, her mast-heads are kept manned to the last; and not till her +skysail-poles sail in among the spires of the port, does she altogether +relinquish the hope of capturing one whale more. + +Now, as the business of standing mast-heads, ashore or afloat, is a +very ancient and interesting one, let us in some measure expatiate +here. I take it, that the earliest standers of mast-heads were the old +Egyptians; because, in all my researches, I find none prior to them. +For though their progenitors, the builders of Babel, must doubtless, by +their tower, have intended to rear the loftiest mast-head in all Asia, +or Africa either; yet (ere the final truck was put to it) as that great +stone mast of theirs may be said to have gone by the board, in the +dread gale of Gods wrath; therefore, we cannot give these Babel +builders priority over the Egyptians. And that the Egyptians were a +nation of mast-head standers, is an assertion based upon the general +belief among archologists, that the first pyramids were founded for +astronomical purposes: a theory singularly supported by the peculiar +stair-like formation of all four sides of those edifices; whereby, with +prodigious long upliftings of their legs, those old astronomers were +wont to mount to the apex, and sing out for new stars; even as the +look-outs of a modern ship sing out for a sail, or a whale just bearing +in sight. In Saint Stylites, the famous Christian hermit of old times, +who built him a lofty stone pillar in the desert and spent the whole +latter portion of his life on its summit, hoisting his food from the +ground with a tackle; in him we have a remarkable instance of a +dauntless stander-of-mast-heads; who was not to be driven from his +place by fogs or frosts, rain, hail, or sleet; but valiantly facing +everything out to the last, literally died at his post. Of modern +standers-of-mast-heads we have but a lifeless set; mere stone, iron, +and bronze men; who, though well capable of facing out a stiff gale, +are still entirely incompetent to the business of singing out upon +discovering any strange sight. There is Napoleon; who, upon the top of +the column of Vendome, stands with arms folded, some one hundred and +fifty feet in the air; careless, now, who rules the decks below; +whether Louis Philippe, Louis Blanc, or Louis the Devil. Great +Washington, too, stands high aloft on his towering main-mast in +Baltimore, and like one of Hercules pillars, his column marks that +point of human grandeur beyond which few mortals will go. Admiral +Nelson, also, on a capstan of gun-metal, stands his mast-head in +Trafalgar Square; and ever when most obscured by that London smoke, +token is yet given that a hidden hero is there; for where there is +smoke, must be fire. But neither great Washington, nor Napoleon, nor +Nelson, will answer a single hail from below, however madly invoked to +befriend by their counsels the distracted decks upon which they gaze; +however it may be surmised, that their spirits penetrate through the +thick haze of the future, and descry what shoals and what rocks must be +shunned. + +It may seem unwarrantable to couple in any respect the mast-head +standers of the land with those of the sea; but that in truth it is not +so, is plainly evinced by an item for which Obed Macy, the sole +historian of Nantucket, stands accountable. The worthy Obed tells us, +that in the early times of the whale fishery, ere ships were regularly +launched in pursuit of the game, the people of that island erected +lofty spars along the sea-coast, to which the look-outs ascended by +means of nailed cleats, something as fowls go upstairs in a hen-house. +A few years ago this same plan was adopted by the Bay whalemen of New +Zealand, who, upon descrying the game, gave notice to the ready-manned +boats nigh the beach. But this custom has now become obsolete; turn we +then to the one proper mast-head, that of a whale-ship at sea. The +three mast-heads are kept manned from sun-rise to sun-set; the seamen +taking their regular turns (as at the helm), and relieving each other +every two hours. In the serene weather of the tropics it is exceedingly +pleasant the mast-head; nay, to a dreamy meditative man it is +delightful. There you stand, a hundred feet above the silent decks, +striding along the deep, as if the masts were gigantic stilts, while +beneath you and between your legs, as it were, swim the hugest monsters +of the sea, even as ships once sailed between the boots of the famous +Colossus at old Rhodes. There you stand, lost in the infinite series of +the sea, with nothing ruffled but the waves. The tranced ship +indolently rolls; the drowsy trade winds blow; everything resolves you +into languor. For the most part, in this tropic whaling life, a sublime +uneventfulness invests you; you hear no news; read no gazettes; extras +with startling accounts of commonplaces never delude you into +unnecessary excitements; you hear of no domestic afflictions; bankrupt +securities; fall of stocks; are never troubled with the thought of what +you shall have for dinnerfor all your meals for three years and more +are snugly stowed in casks, and your bill of fare is immutable. + +In one of those southern whalesmen, on a long three or four years +voyage, as often happens, the sum of the various hours you spend at the +mast-head would amount to several entire months. And it is much to be +deplored that the place to which you devote so considerable a portion +of the whole term of your natural life, should be so sadly destitute of +anything approaching to a cosy inhabitiveness, or adapted to breed a +comfortable localness of feeling, such as pertains to a bed, a hammock, +a hearse, a sentry box, a pulpit, a coach, or any other of those small +and snug contrivances in which men temporarily isolate themselves. Your +most usual point of perch is the head of the t gallant-mast, where you +stand upon two thin parallel sticks (almost peculiar to whalemen) +called the t gallant cross-trees. Here, tossed about by the sea, the +beginner feels about as cosy as he would standing on a bulls horns. To +be sure, in cold weather you may carry your house aloft with you, in +the shape of a watch-coat; but properly speaking the thickest +watch-coat is no more of a house than the unclad body; for as the soul +is glued inside of its fleshy tabernacle, and cannot freely move about +in it, nor even move out of it, without running great risk of perishing +(like an ignorant pilgrim crossing the snowy Alps in winter); so a +watch-coat is not so much of a house as it is a mere envelope, or +additional skin encasing you. You cannot put a shelf or chest of +drawers in your body, and no more can you make a convenient closet of +your watch-coat. + +Concerning all this, it is much to be deplored that the mast-heads of a +southern whale ship are unprovided with those enviable little tents or +pulpits, called _crows-nests_, in which the look-outs of a Greenland +whaler are protected from the inclement weather of the frozen seas. In +the fireside narrative of Captain Sleet, entitled A Voyage among the +Icebergs, in quest of the Greenland Whale, and incidentally for the +re-discovery of the Lost Icelandic Colonies of Old Greenland; in this +admirable volume, all standers of mast-heads are furnished with a +charmingly circumstantial account of the then recently invented +_crows-nest_ of the Glacier, which was the name of Captain Sleets +good craft. He called it the _Sleets crows-nest_, in honor of +himself; he being the original inventor and patentee, and free from all +ridiculous false delicacy, and holding that if we call our own children +after our own names (we fathers being the original inventors and +patentees), so likewise should we denominate after ourselves any other +apparatus we may beget. In shape, the Sleets crows-nest is something +like a large tierce or pipe; it is open above, however, where it is +furnished with a movable side-screen to keep to windward of your head +in a hard gale. Being fixed on the summit of the mast, you ascend into +it through a little trap-hatch in the bottom. On the after side, or +side next the stern of the ship, is a comfortable seat, with a locker +underneath for umbrellas, comforters, and coats. In front is a leather +rack, in which to keep your speaking trumpet, pipe, telescope, and +other nautical conveniences. When Captain Sleet in person stood his +mast-head in this crows-nest of his, he tells us that he always had a +rifle with him (also fixed in the rack), together with a powder flask +and shot, for the purpose of popping off the stray narwhales, or +vagrant sea unicorns infesting those waters; for you cannot +successfully shoot at them from the deck owing to the resistance of the +water, but to shoot down upon them is a very different thing. Now, it +was plainly a labor of love for Captain Sleet to describe, as he does, +all the little detailed conveniences of his crows-nest; but though he +so enlarges upon many of these, and though he treats us to a very +scientific account of his experiments in this crows-nest, with a small +compass he kept there for the purpose of counteracting the errors +resulting from what is called the local attraction of all binnacle +magnets; an error ascribable to the horizontal vicinity of the iron in +the ships planks, and in the Glaciers case, perhaps, to there having +been so many broken-down blacksmiths among her crew; I say, that though +the Captain is very discreet and scientific here, yet, for all his +learned binnacle deviations, azimuth compass observations, and +approximate errors, he knows very well, Captain Sleet, that he was +not so much immersed in those profound magnetic meditations, as to fail +being attracted occasionally towards that well replenished little +case-bottle, so nicely tucked in on one side of his crows nest, within +easy reach of his hand. Though, upon the whole, I greatly admire and +even love the brave, the honest, and learned Captain; yet I take it +very ill of him that he should so utterly ignore that case-bottle, +seeing what a faithful friend and comforter it must have been, while +with mittened fingers and hooded head he was studying the mathematics +aloft there in that birds nest within three or four perches of the +pole. + +But if we Southern whale-fishers are not so snugly housed aloft as +Captain Sleet and his Greenlandmen were; yet that disadvantage is +greatly counter-balanced by the widely contrasting serenity of those +seductive seas in which we South fishers mostly float. For one, I used +to lounge up the rigging very leisurely, resting in the top to have a +chat with Queequeg, or any one else off duty whom I might find there; +then ascending a little way further, and throwing a lazy leg over the +top-sail yard, take a preliminary view of the watery pastures, and so +at last mount to my ultimate destination. + +Let me make a clean breast of it here, and frankly admit that I kept +but sorry guard. With the problem of the universe revolving in me, how +could Ibeing left completely to myself at such a thought-engendering +altitudehow could I but lightly hold my obligations to observe all +whale-ships standing orders, Keep your weather eye open, and sing out +every time. + +And let me in this place movingly admonish you, ye ship-owners of +Nantucket! Beware of enlisting in your vigilant fisheries any lad with +lean brow and hollow eye; given to unseasonable meditativeness; and who +offers to ship with the Phdon instead of Bowditch in his head. Beware +of such an one, I say; your whales must be seen before they can be +killed; and this sunken-eyed young Platonist will tow you ten wakes +round the world, and never make you one pint of sperm the richer. Nor +are these monitions at all unneeded. For nowadays, the whale-fishery +furnishes an asylum for many romantic, melancholy, and absent-minded +young men, disgusted with the carking cares of earth, and seeking +sentiment in tar and blubber. Childe Harold not unfrequently perches +himself upon the mast-head of some luckless disappointed whale-ship, +and in moody phrase ejaculates: + + +Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean, roll! Ten thousand +blubber-hunters sweep over thee in vain. + + + +Very often do the captains of such ships take those absent-minded young +philosophers to task, upbraiding them with not feeling sufficient +interest in the voyage; half-hinting that they are so hopelessly lost +to all honorable ambition, as that in their secret souls they would +rather not see whales than otherwise. But all in vain; those young +Platonists have a notion that their vision is imperfect; they are +short-sighted; what use, then, to strain the visual nerve? They have +left their opera-glasses at home. + +Why, thou monkey, said a harpooneer to one of these lads, weve been +cruising now hard upon three years, and thou hast not raised a whale +yet. Whales are scarce as hens teeth whenever thou art up here. +Perhaps they were; or perhaps there might have been shoals of them in +the far horizon; but lulled into such an opium-like listlessness of +vacant, unconscious reverie is this absent-minded youth by the blending +cadence of waves with thoughts, that at last he loses his identity; +takes the mystic ocean at his feet for the visible image of that deep, +blue, bottomless soul, pervading mankind and nature; and every strange, +half-seen, gliding, beautiful thing that eludes him; every +dimly-discovered, uprising fin of some undiscernible form, seems to him +the embodiment of those elusive thoughts that only people the soul by +continually flitting through it. In this enchanted mood, thy spirit +ebbs away to whence it came; becomes diffused through time and space; +like Cranmers sprinkled Pantheistic ashes, forming at last a part of +every shore the round globe over. + +There is no life in thee, now, except that rocking life imparted by a +gently rolling ship; by her, borrowed from the sea; by the sea, from +the inscrutable tides of God. But while this sleep, this dream is on +ye, move your foot or hand an inch; slip your hold at all; and your +identity comes back in horror. Over Descartian vortices you hover. And +perhaps, at mid-day, in the fairest weather, with one half-throttled +shriek you drop through that transparent air into the summer sea, no +more to rise for ever. Heed it well, ye Pantheists! + + +CHAPTER 36. The Quarter-Deck. + +(_Enter Ahab: Then, all._) + +It was not a great while after the affair of the pipe, that one morning +shortly after breakfast, Ahab, as was his wont, ascended the +cabin-gangway to the deck. There most sea-captains usually walk at that +hour, as country gentlemen, after the same meal, take a few turns in +the garden. + +Soon his steady, ivory stride was heard, as to and fro he paced his old +rounds, upon planks so familiar to his tread, that they were all over +dented, like geological stones, with the peculiar mark of his walk. Did +you fixedly gaze, too, upon that ribbed and dented brow; there also, +you would see still stranger foot-printsthe foot-prints of his one +unsleeping, ever-pacing thought. + +But on the occasion in question, those dents looked deeper, even as his +nervous step that morning left a deeper mark. And, so full of his +thought was Ahab, that at every uniform turn that he made, now at the +main-mast and now at the binnacle, you could almost see that thought +turn in him as he turned, and pace in him as he paced; so completely +possessing him, indeed, that it all but seemed the inward mould of +every outer movement. + +Dye mark him, Flask? whispered Stubb; the chick thats in him pecks +the shell. Twill soon be out. + +The hours wore on;Ahab now shut up within his cabin; anon, pacing the +deck, with the same intense bigotry of purpose in his aspect. + +It drew near the close of day. Suddenly he came to a halt by the +bulwarks, and inserting his bone leg into the auger-hole there, and +with one hand grasping a shroud, he ordered Starbuck to send everybody +aft. + +Sir! said the mate, astonished at an order seldom or never given on +ship-board except in some extraordinary case. + +Send everybody aft, repeated Ahab. Mast-heads, there! come down! + +When the entire ships company were assembled, and with curious and not +wholly unapprehensive faces, were eyeing him, for he looked not unlike +the weather horizon when a storm is coming up, Ahab, after rapidly +glancing over the bulwarks, and then darting his eyes among the crew, +started from his standpoint; and as though not a soul were nigh him +resumed his heavy turns upon the deck. With bent head and half-slouched +hat he continued to pace, unmindful of the wondering whispering among +the men; till Stubb cautiously whispered to Flask, that Ahab must have +summoned them there for the purpose of witnessing a pedestrian feat. +But this did not last long. Vehemently pausing, he cried: + +What do ye do when ye see a whale, men? + +Sing out for him! was the impulsive rejoinder from a score of clubbed +voices. + +Good! cried Ahab, with a wild approval in his tones; observing the +hearty animation into which his unexpected question had so magnetically +thrown them. + +And what do ye next, men? + +Lower away, and after him! + +And what tune is it ye pull to, men? + +A dead whale or a stove boat! + +More and more strangely and fiercely glad and approving, grew the +countenance of the old man at every shout; while the mariners began to +gaze curiously at each other, as if marvelling how it was that they +themselves became so excited at such seemingly purposeless questions. + +But, they were all eagerness again, as Ahab, now half-revolving in his +pivot-hole, with one hand reaching high up a shroud, and tightly, +almost convulsively grasping it, addressed them thus: + +All ye mast-headers have before now heard me give orders about a white +whale. Look ye! dye see this Spanish ounce of gold?holding up a +broad bright coin to the sunit is a sixteen dollar piece, men. Dye +see it? Mr. Starbuck, hand me yon top-maul. + +While the mate was getting the hammer, Ahab, without speaking, was +slowly rubbing the gold piece against the skirts of his jacket, as if +to heighten its lustre, and without using any words was meanwhile lowly +humming to himself, producing a sound so strangely muffled and +inarticulate that it seemed the mechanical humming of the wheels of his +vitality in him. + +Receiving the top-maul from Starbuck, he advanced towards the main-mast +with the hammer uplifted in one hand, exhibiting the gold with the +other, and with a high raised voice exclaiming: Whosoever of ye raises +me a white-headed whale with a wrinkled brow and a crooked jaw; +whosoever of ye raises me that white-headed whale, with three holes +punctured in his starboard flukelook ye, whosoever of ye raises me +that same white whale, he shall have this gold ounce, my boys! + +Huzza! huzza! cried the seamen, as with swinging tarpaulins they +hailed the act of nailing the gold to the mast. + +Its a white whale, I say, resumed Ahab, as he threw down the +topmaul: a white whale. Skin your eyes for him, men; look sharp for +white water; if ye see but a bubble, sing out. + +All this while Tashtego, Daggoo, and Queequeg had looked on with even +more intense interest and surprise than the rest, and at the mention of +the wrinkled brow and crooked jaw they had started as if each was +separately touched by some specific recollection. + +Captain Ahab, said Tashtego, that white whale must be the same that +some call Moby Dick. + +Moby Dick? shouted Ahab. Do ye know the white whale then, Tash? + +Does he fan-tail a little curious, sir, before he goes down? said the +Gay-Header deliberately. + +And has he a curious spout, too, said Daggoo, very bushy, even for a +parmacetty, and mighty quick, Captain Ahab? + +And he have one, two, threeoh! good many iron in him hide, too, +Captain, cried Queequeg disjointedly, all twiske-tee be-twisk, like +himhim faltering hard for a word, and screwing his hand round and +round as though uncorking a bottlelike himhim + +Corkscrew! cried Ahab, aye, Queequeg, the harpoons lie all twisted +and wrenched in him; aye, Daggoo, his spout is a big one, like a whole +shock of wheat, and white as a pile of our Nantucket wool after the +great annual sheep-shearing; aye, Tashtego, and he fan-tails like a +split jib in a squall. Death and devils! men, it is Moby Dick ye have +seenMoby DickMoby Dick! + +Captain Ahab, said Starbuck, who, with Stubb and Flask, had thus far +been eyeing his superior with increasing surprise, but at last seemed +struck with a thought which somewhat explained all the wonder. Captain +Ahab, I have heard of Moby Dickbut it was not Moby Dick that took off +thy leg? + +Who told thee that? cried Ahab; then pausing, Aye, Starbuck; aye, my +hearties all round; it was Moby Dick that dismasted me; Moby Dick that +brought me to this dead stump I stand on now. Aye, aye, he shouted +with a terrific, loud, animal sob, like that of a heart-stricken moose; +Aye, aye! it was that accursed white whale that razeed me; made a poor +pegging lubber of me for ever and a day! Then tossing both arms, with +measureless imprecations he shouted out: Aye, aye! and Ill chase him +round Good Hope, and round the Horn, and round the Norway Maelstrom, +and round perditions flames before I give him up. And this is what ye +have shipped for, men! to chase that white whale on both sides of land, +and over all sides of earth, till he spouts black blood and rolls fin +out. What say ye, men, will ye splice hands on it, now? I think ye do +look brave. + +Aye, aye! shouted the harpooneers and seamen, running closer to the +excited old man: A sharp eye for the white whale; a sharp lance for +Moby Dick! + +God bless ye, he seemed to half sob and half shout. God bless ye, +men. Steward! go draw the great measure of grog. But whats this long +face about, Mr. Starbuck; wilt thou not chase the white whale? art not +game for Moby Dick? + +I am game for his crooked jaw, and for the jaws of Death too, Captain +Ahab, if it fairly comes in the way of the business we follow; but I +came here to hunt whales, not my commanders vengeance. How many +barrels will thy vengeance yield thee even if thou gettest it, Captain +Ahab? it will not fetch thee much in our Nantucket market. + +Nantucket market! Hoot! But come closer, Starbuck; thou requirest a +little lower layer. If moneys to be the measurer, man, and the +accountants have computed their great counting-house the globe, by +girdling it with guineas, one to every three parts of an inch; then, +let me tell thee, that my vengeance will fetch a great premium _here!_ + +He smites his chest, whispered Stubb, whats that for? methinks it +rings most vast, but hollow. + +Vengeance on a dumb brute! cried Starbuck, that simply smote thee +from blindest instinct! Madness! To be enraged with a dumb thing, +Captain Ahab, seems blasphemous. + +Hark ye yet againthe little lower layer. All visible objects, man, +are but as pasteboard masks. But in each eventin the living act, the +undoubted deedthere, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth +the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man +will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach +outside except by thrusting through the wall? To me, the white whale is +that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think theres naught beyond. +But tis enough. He tasks me; he heaps me; I see in him outrageous +strength, with an inscrutable malice sinewing it. That inscrutable +thing is chiefly what I hate; and be the white whale agent, or be the +white whale principal, I will wreak that hate upon him. Talk not to me +of blasphemy, man; Id strike the sun if it insulted me. For could the +sun do that, then could I do the other; since there is ever a sort of +fair play herein, jealousy presiding over all creations. But not my +master, man, is even that fair play. Whos over me? Truth hath no +confines. Take off thine eye! more intolerable than fiends glarings is +a doltish stare! So, so; thou reddenest and palest; my heat has melted +thee to anger-glow. But look ye, Starbuck, what is said in heat, that +thing unsays itself. There are men from whom warm words are small +indignity. I meant not to incense thee. Let it go. Look! see yonder +Turkish cheeks of spotted tawnliving, breathing pictures painted by +the sun. The Pagan leopardsthe unrecking and unworshipping things, +that live; and seek, and give no reasons for the torrid life they feel! +The crew, man, the crew! Are they not one and all with Ahab, in this +matter of the whale? See Stubb! he laughs! See yonder Chilian! he +snorts to think of it. Stand up amid the general hurricane, thy one +tost sapling cannot, Starbuck! And what is it? Reckon it. Tis but to +help strike a fin; no wondrous feat for Starbuck. What is it more? From +this one poor hunt, then, the best lance out of all Nantucket, surely +he will not hang back, when every foremast-hand has clutched a +whetstone? Ah! constrainings seize thee; I see! the billow lifts thee! +Speak, but speak!Aye, aye! thy silence, then, _that_ voices thee. +(_Aside_) Something shot from my dilated nostrils, he has inhaled it in +his lungs. Starbuck now is mine; cannot oppose me now, without +rebellion. + +God keep me!keep us all! murmured Starbuck, lowly. + +But in his joy at the enchanted, tacit acquiescence of the mate, Ahab +did not hear his foreboding invocation; nor yet the low laugh from the +hold; nor yet the presaging vibrations of the winds in the cordage; nor +yet the hollow flap of the sails against the masts, as for a moment +their hearts sank in. For again Starbucks downcast eyes lighted up +with the stubbornness of life; the subterranean laugh died away; the +winds blew on; the sails filled out; the ship heaved and rolled as +before. Ah, ye admonitions and warnings! why stay ye not when ye come? +But rather are ye predictions than warnings, ye shadows! Yet not so +much predictions from without, as verifications of the foregoing things +within. For with little external to constrain us, the innermost +necessities in our being, these still drive us on. + +The measure! the measure! cried Ahab. + +Receiving the brimming pewter, and turning to the harpooneers, he +ordered them to produce their weapons. Then ranging them before him +near the capstan, with their harpoons in their hands, while his three +mates stood at his side with their lances, and the rest of the ships +company formed a circle round the group; he stood for an instant +searchingly eyeing every man of his crew. But those wild eyes met his, +as the bloodshot eyes of the prairie wolves meet the eye of their +leader, ere he rushes on at their head in the trail of the bison; but, +alas! only to fall into the hidden snare of the Indian. + +Drink and pass! he cried, handing the heavy charged flagon to the +nearest seaman. The crew alone now drink. Round with it, round! Short +draughtslong swallows, men; tis hot as Satans hoof. So, so; it goes +round excellently. It spiralizes in ye; forks out at the +serpent-snapping eye. Well done; almost drained. That way it went, this +way it comes. Hand it meheres a hollow! Men, ye seem the years; so +brimming life is gulped and gone. Steward, refill! + +Attend now, my braves. I have mustered ye all round this capstan; and +ye mates, flank me with your lances; and ye harpooneers, stand there +with your irons; and ye, stout mariners, ring me in, that I may in some +sort revive a noble custom of my fisherman fathers before me. O men, +you will yet see thatHa! boy, come back? bad pennies come not sooner. +Hand it me. Why, now, this pewter had run brimming again, wert not +thou St. Vitus impaway, thou ague! + +Advance, ye mates! Cross your lances full before me. Well done! Let me +touch the axis. So saying, with extended arm, he grasped the three +level, radiating lances at their crossed centre; while so doing, +suddenly and nervously twitched them; meanwhile, glancing intently from +Starbuck to Stubb; from Stubb to Flask. It seemed as though, by some +nameless, interior volition, he would fain have shocked into them the +same fiery emotion accumulated within the Leyden jar of his own +magnetic life. The three mates quailed before his strong, sustained, +and mystic aspect. Stubb and Flask looked sideways from him; the honest +eye of Starbuck fell downright. + +In vain! cried Ahab; but, maybe, tis well. For did ye three but +once take the full-forced shock, then mine own electric thing, _that_ +had perhaps expired from out me. Perchance, too, it would have dropped +ye dead. Perchance ye need it not. Down lances! And now, ye mates, I do +appoint ye three cupbearers to my three pagan kinsmen thereyon three +most honorable gentlemen and noblemen, my valiant harpooneers. Disdain +the task? What, when the great Pope washes the feet of beggars, using +his tiara for ewer? Oh, my sweet cardinals! your own condescension, +_that_ shall bend ye to it. I do not order ye; ye will it. Cut your +seizings and draw the poles, ye harpooneers! + +Silently obeying the order, the three harpooneers now stood with the +detached iron part of their harpoons, some three feet long, held, barbs +up, before him. + +Stab me not with that keen steel! Cant them; cant them over! know ye +not the goblet end? Turn up the socket! So, so; now, ye cup-bearers, +advance. The irons! take them; hold them while I fill! Forthwith, +slowly going from one officer to the other, he brimmed the harpoon +sockets with the fiery waters from the pewter. + +Now, three to three, ye stand. Commend the murderous chalices! Bestow +them, ye who are now made parties to this indissoluble league. Ha! +Starbuck! but the deed is done! Yon ratifying sun now waits to sit upon +it. Drink, ye harpooneers! drink and swear, ye men that man the +deathful whaleboats bowDeath to Moby Dick! God hunt us all, if we do +not hunt Moby Dick to his death! The long, barbed steel goblets were +lifted; and to cries and maledictions against the white whale, the +spirits were simultaneously quaffed down with a hiss. Starbuck paled, +and turned, and shivered. Once more, and finally, the replenished +pewter went the rounds among the frantic crew; when, waving his free +hand to them, they all dispersed; and Ahab retired within his cabin. + + +CHAPTER 37. Sunset. + +_The cabin; by the stern windows; Ahab sitting alone, and gazing out_. + +I leave a white and turbid wake; pale waters, paler cheeks, whereer I +sail. The envious billows sidelong swell to whelm my track; let them; +but first I pass. + +Yonder, by ever-brimming goblets rim, the warm waves blush like wine. +The gold brow plumbs the blue. The diver sunslow dived from noongoes +down; my soul mounts up! she wearies with her endless hill. Is, then, +the crown too heavy that I wear? this Iron Crown of Lombardy. Yet is it +bright with many a gem; I the wearer, see not its far flashings; but +darkly feel that I wear that, that dazzlingly confounds. Tis ironthat +I knownot gold. Tis split, toothat I feel; the jagged edge galls me +so, my brain seems to beat against the solid metal; aye, steel skull, +mine; the sort that needs no helmet in the most brain-battering fight! + +Dry heat upon my brow? Oh! time was, when as the sunrise nobly spurred +me, so the sunset soothed. No more. This lovely light, it lights not +me; all loveliness is anguish to me, since I can neer enjoy. Gifted +with the high perception, I lack the low, enjoying power; damned, most +subtly and most malignantly! damned in the midst of Paradise! Good +nightgood night! (_waving his hand, he moves from the window_.) + +Twas not so hard a task. I thought to find one stubborn, at the least; +but my one cogged circle fits into all their various wheels, and they +revolve. Or, if you will, like so many ant-hills of powder, they all +stand before me; and I their match. Oh, hard! that to fire others, the +match itself must needs be wasting! What Ive dared, Ive willed; and +what Ive willed, Ill do! They think me madStarbuck does; but Im +demoniac, I am madness maddened! That wild madness thats only calm to +comprehend itself! The prophecy was that I should be dismembered; +andAye! I lost this leg. I now prophesy that I will dismember my +dismemberer. Now, then, be the prophet and the fulfiller one. Thats +more than ye, ye great gods, ever were. I laugh and hoot at ye, ye +cricket-players, ye pugilists, ye deaf Burkes and blinded Bendigoes! I +will not say as schoolboys do to bulliesTake some one of your own +size; dont pommel _me!_ No, yeve knocked me down, and I am up again; +but _ye_ have run and hidden. Come forth from behind your cotton bags! +I have no long gun to reach ye. Come, Ahabs compliments to ye; come +and see if ye can swerve me. Swerve me? ye cannot swerve me, else ye +swerve yourselves! man has ye there. Swerve me? The path to my fixed +purpose is laid with iron rails, whereon my soul is grooved to run. +Over unsounded gorges, through the rifled hearts of mountains, under +torrents beds, unerringly I rush! Naughts an obstacle, naughts an +angle to the iron way! + + +CHAPTER 38. Dusk. + +_By the Mainmast; Starbuck leaning against it_. + +My soul is more than matched; shes overmanned; and by a madman! +Insufferable sting, that sanity should ground arms on such a field! But +he drilled deep down, and blasted all my reason out of me! I think I +see his impious end; but feel that I must help him to it. Will I, nill +I, the ineffable thing has tied me to him; tows me with a cable I have +no knife to cut. Horrible old man! Whos over him, he cries;aye, he +would be a democrat to all above; look, how he lords it over all below! +Oh! I plainly see my miserable office,to obey, rebelling; and worse +yet, to hate with touch of pity! For in his eyes I read some lurid woe +would shrivel me up, had I it. Yet is there hope. Time and tide flow +wide. The hated whale has the round watery world to swim in, as the +small gold-fish has its glassy globe. His heaven-insulting purpose, God +may wedge aside. I would up heart, were it not like lead. But my whole +clocks run down; my heart the all-controlling weight, I have no key to +lift again. + +[_A burst of revelry from the forecastle_.] + +Oh, God! to sail with such a heathen crew that have small touch of +human mothers in them! Whelped somewhere by the sharkish sea. The white +whale is their demigorgon. Hark! the infernal orgies! that revelry is +forward! mark the unfaltering silence aft! Methinks it pictures life. +Foremost through the sparkling sea shoots on the gay, embattled, +bantering bow, but only to drag dark Ahab after it, where he broods +within his sternward cabin, builded over the dead water of the wake, +and further on, hunted by its wolfish gurglings. The long howl thrills +me through! Peace! ye revellers, and set the watch! Oh, life! tis in +an hour like this, with soul beat down and held to knowledge,as wild, +untutored things are forced to feedOh, life! tis now that I do feel +the latent horror in thee! but tis not me! that horrors out of me! +and with the soft feeling of the human in me, yet will I try to fight +ye, ye grim, phantom futures! Stand by me, hold me, bind me, O ye +blessed influences! + + +CHAPTER 39. First Night-Watch. + +Fore-Top. + +(_Stubb solus, and mending a brace_.) + +Ha! ha! ha! ha! hem! clear my throat!Ive been thinking over it ever +since, and that ha, has the final consequence. Why so? Because a +laughs the wisest, easiest answer to all thats queer; and come what +will, one comforts always leftthat unfailing comfort is, its all +predestinated. I heard not all his talk with Starbuck; but to my poor +eye Starbuck then looked something as I the other evening felt. Be sure +the old Mogul has fixed him, too. I twigged it, knew it; had had the +gift, might readily have prophesied itfor when I clapped my eye upon +his skull I saw it. Well, Stubb, _wise_ Stubbthats my titlewell, +Stubb, what of it, Stubb? Heres a carcase. I know not all that may be +coming, but be it what it will, Ill go to it laughing. Such a waggish +leering as lurks in all your horribles! I feel funny. Fa, la! lirra, +skirra! Whats my juicy little pear at home doing now? Crying its eyes +out?Giving a party to the last arrived harpooneers, I dare say, gay as +a frigates pennant, and so am Ifa, la! lirra, skirra! Oh + + +Well drink to-night with hearts as light, To love, as gay and fleeting +As bubbles that swim, on the beakers brim, And break on the lips while +meeting. + + + +A brave stave thatwho calls? Mr. Starbuck? Aye, aye, sir(_Aside_) +hes my superior, he has his too, if Im not mistaken.Aye, aye, sir, +just through with this jobcoming. + -On the contrary, dear, said Dorothea, I never could do anything that -I liked. I have never carried out any plan yet. - -Because you always wanted things that wouldnt do. But other plans -would have come. And how _can_ you marry Mr. Ladislaw, that we none of -us ever thought you _could_ marry? It shocks James so dreadfully. And -then it is all so different from what you have always been. You would -have Mr. Casaubon because he had such a great soul, and was so old and -dismal and learned; and now, to think of marrying Mr. Ladislaw, who has -got no estate or anything. I suppose it is because you must be making -yourself uncomfortable in some way or other. - -Dorothea laughed. - -Well, it is very serious, Dodo, said Celia, becoming more impressive. -How will you live? and you will go away among queer people. And I -shall never see youand you wont mind about little Arthurand I -thought you always would - -Celias rare tears had got into her eyes, and the corners of her mouth -were agitated. - -Dear Celia, said Dorothea, with tender gravity, if you dont ever -see me, it will not be my fault. - -Yes, it will, said Celia, with the same touching distortion of her -small features. How can I come to you or have you with me when James -cant bear it?that is because he thinks it is not righthe thinks you -are so wrong, Dodo. But you always were wrong: only I cant help loving -you. And nobody can think where you will live: where can you go? - -I am going to London, said Dorothea. - -How can you always live in a street? And you will be so poor. I could -give you half my things, only how can I, when I never see you? - -Bless you, Kitty, said Dorothea, with gentle warmth. Take comfort: -perhaps James will forgive me some time. - -But it would be much better if you would not be married, said Celia, -drying her eyes, and returning to her argument; then there would be -nothing uncomfortable. And you would not do what nobody thought you -could do. James always said you ought to be a queen; but this is not at -all being like a queen. You know what mistakes you have always been -making, Dodo, and this is another. Nobody thinks Mr. Ladislaw a proper -husband for you. And you _said_ you would never be married again. - -It is quite true that I might be a wiser person, Celia, said -Dorothea, and that I might have done something better, if I had been -better. But this is what I am going to do. I have promised to marry Mr. -Ladislaw; and I am going to marry him. - -The tone in which Dorothea said this was a note that Celia had long -learned to recognize. She was silent a few moments, and then said, as -if she had dismissed all contest, Is he very fond of you, Dodo? - -I hope so. I am very fond of him. - -That is nice, said Celia, comfortably. Only I would rather you had -such a sort of husband as James is, with a place very near, that I -could drive to. - -Dorothea smiled, and Celia looked rather meditative. Presently she -said, I cannot think how it all came about. Celia thought it would be -pleasant to hear the story. - -I dare say not, said Dorothea, pinching her sisters chin. If you -knew how it came about, it would not seem wonderful to you. - -Cant you tell me? said Celia, settling her arms cozily. - -No, dear, you would have to feel with me, else you would never know. - - - - -CHAPTER LXXXV. - -Then went the jury out whose names were Mr. Blindman, Mr. No-good, Mr. -Malice, Mr. Love-lust, Mr. Live-loose, Mr. Heady, Mr. High-mind, Mr. -Enmity, Mr. Liar, Mr. Cruelty, Mr. Hate-light, Mr. Implacable, who -every one gave in his private verdict against him among themselves, and -afterwards unanimously concluded to bring him in guilty before the -judge. And first among themselves, Mr. Blindman, the foreman, said, I -see clearly that this man is a heretic. Then said Mr. No-good, Away -with such a fellow from the earth! Ay, said Mr. Malice, for I hate the -very look of him. Then said Mr. Love-lust, I could never endure him. -Nor I, said Mr. Live-loose; for he would be always condemning my way. -Hang him, hang him, said Mr. Heady. A sorry scrub, said Mr. High-mind. -My heart riseth against him, said Mr. Enmity. He is a rogue, said Mr. -Liar. Hanging is too good for him, said Mr. Cruelty. Let us despatch -him out of the way said Mr. Hate-light. Then said Mr. Implacable, Might -I have all the world given me, I could not be reconciled to him; -therefore let us forthwith bring him in guilty of death._Pilgrims -Progress_. - - -When immortal Bunyan makes his picture of the persecuting passions -bringing in their verdict of guilty, who pities Faithful? That is a -rare and blessed lot which some greatest men have not attained, to know -ourselves guiltless before a condemning crowdto be sure that what we -are denounced for is solely the good in us. The pitiable lot is that of -the man who could not call himself a martyr even though he were to -persuade himself that the men who stoned him were but ugly passions -incarnatewho knows that he is stoned, not for professing the Right, -but for not being the man he professed to be. - -This was the consciousness that Bulstrode was withering under while he -made his preparations for departing from Middlemarch, and going to end -his stricken life in that sad refuge, the indifference of new faces. -The duteous merciful constancy of his wife had delivered him from one -dread, but it could not hinder her presence from being still a tribunal -before which he shrank from confession and desired advocacy. His -equivocations with himself about the death of Raffles had sustained the -conception of an Omniscience whom he prayed to, yet he had a terror -upon him which would not let him expose them to judgment by a full -confession to his wife: the acts which he had washed and diluted with -inward argument and motive, and for which it seemed comparatively easy -to win invisible pardonwhat name would she call them by? That she -should ever silently call his acts Murder was what he could not bear. -He felt shrouded by her doubt: he got strength to face her from the -sense that she could not yet feel warranted in pronouncing that worst -condemnation on him. Some time, perhapswhen he was dyinghe would tell -her all: in the deep shadow of that time, when she held his hand in the -gathering darkness, she might listen without recoiling from his touch. -Perhaps: but concealment had been the habit of his life, and the -impulse to confession had no power against the dread of a deeper -humiliation. - -He was full of timid care for his wife, not only because he deprecated -any harshness of judgment from her, but because he felt a deep distress -at the sight of her suffering. She had sent her daughters away to board -at a school on the coast, that this crisis might be hidden from them as -far as possible. Set free by their absence from the intolerable -necessity of accounting for her grief or of beholding their frightened -wonder, she could live unconstrainedly with the sorrow that was every -day streaking her hair with whiteness and making her eyelids languid. - -Tell me anything that you would like to have me do, Harriet, -Bulstrode had said to her; I mean with regard to arrangements of -property. It is my intention not to sell the land I possess in this -neighborhood, but to leave it to you as a safe provision. If you have -any wish on such subjects, do not conceal it from me. - -A few days afterwards, when she had returned from a visit to her -brothers, she began to speak to her husband on a subject which had for -some time been in her mind. - -I _should_ like to do something for my brothers family, Nicholas; and -I think we are bound to make some amends to Rosamond and her husband. -Walter says Mr. Lydgate must leave the town, and his practice is almost -good for nothing, and they have very little left to settle anywhere -with. I would rather do without something for ourselves, to make some -amends to my poor brothers family. - -Mrs. Bulstrode did not wish to go nearer to the facts than in the -phrase make some amends; knowing that her husband must understand -her. He had a particular reason, which she was not aware of, for -wincing under her suggestion. He hesitated before he said - -It is not possible to carry out your wish in the way you propose, my -dear. Mr. Lydgate has virtually rejected any further service from me. -He has returned the thousand pounds which I lent him. Mrs. Casaubon -advanced him the sum for that purpose. Here is his letter. - -The letter seemed to cut Mrs. Bulstrode severely. The mention of Mrs. -Casaubons loan seemed a reflection of that public feeling which held -it a matter of course that every one would avoid a connection with her -husband. She was silent for some time; and the tears fell one after the -other, her chin trembling as she wiped them away. Bulstrode, sitting -opposite to her, ached at the sight of that grief-worn face, which two -months before had been bright and blooming. It had aged to keep sad -company with his own withered features. Urged into some effort at -comforting her, he said - -There is another means, Harriet, by which I might do a service to your -brothers family, if you like to act in it. And it would, I think, be -beneficial to you: it would be an advantageous way of managing the land -which I mean to be yours. - -She looked attentive. - -Garth once thought of undertaking the management of Stone Court in -order to place your nephew Fred there. The stock was to remain as it -is, and they were to pay a certain share of the profits instead of an -ordinary rent. That would be a desirable beginning for the young man, -in conjunction with his employment under Garth. Would it be a -satisfaction to you? - -Yes, it would, said Mrs. Bulstrode, with some return of energy. Poor -Walter is so cast down; I would try anything in my power to do him some -good before I go away. We have always been brother and sister. - -You must make the proposal to Garth yourself, Harriet, said Mr. -Bulstrode, not liking what he had to say, but desiring the end he had -in view, for other reasons besides the consolation of his wife. You -must state to him that the land is virtually yours, and that he need -have no transactions with me. Communications can be made through -Standish. I mention this, because Garth gave up being my agent. I can -put into your hands a paper which he himself drew up, stating -conditions; and you can propose his renewed acceptance of them. I think -it is not unlikely that he will accept when you propose the thing for -the sake of your nephew. - - - - -CHAPTER LXXXVI. - -Le cur se sature damour comme dun sel divin qui le conserve; de l -lincorruptible adhrence de ceux qui se sont aims ds laube de la -vie, et la fracheur des vielles amours prolonges.

She had a pink kerchief tied over -her head, making a little poke to shade her eyes from the level -sunbeams, while she was giving a glorious swing to Letty, who laughed -and screamed wildly. - -Seeing her father, Mary left the swing and went to meet him, pushing -back the pink kerchief and smiling afar off at him with the involuntary -smile of loving pleasure. +CHAPTER 40. Midnight, Forecastle. -I came to look for you, Mary, said Mr. Garth. Let us walk about a -bit. +HARPOONEERS AND SAILORS. -Mary knew quite well that her father had something particular to say: -his eyebrows made their pathetic angle, and there was a tender gravity -in his voice: these things had been signs to her when she was Lettys -age. She put her arm within his, and they turned by the row of -nut-trees. +(_Foresail rises and discovers the watch standing, lounging, leaning, +and lying in various attitudes, all singing in chorus_.) -It will be a sad while before you can be married, Mary, said her -father, not looking at her, but at the end of the stick which he held -in his other hand. -Not a sad while, fatherI mean to be merry, said Mary, laughingly. I -have been single and merry for four-and-twenty years and more: I -suppose it will not be quite as long again as that. Then, after a -little pause, she said, more gravely, bending her face before her -fathers, If you are contented with Fred? + Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish ladies! Farewell and adieu to you, + ladies of Spain! Our captains commanded. -Caleb screwed up his mouth and turned his head aside wisely. -Now, father, you did praise him last Wednesday. You said he had an -uncommon notion of stock, and a good eye for things. -Did I? said Caleb, rather slyly. +1ST NANTUCKET SAILOR. Oh, boys, dont be sentimental; its bad for the +digestion! Take a tonic, follow me! -Yes, I put it all down, and the date, _anno Domini_, and everything, -said Mary. You like things to be neatly booked. And then his behavior -to you, father, is really good; he has a deep respect for you; and it -is impossible to have a better temper than Fred has. +(_Sings, and all follow._) -Ay, ay; you want to coax me into thinking him a fine match. -No, indeed, father. I dont love him because he is a fine match. + Our captain stood upon the deck, A spy-glass in his hand, A viewing of + those gallant whales That blew at every strand. Oh, your tubs in your + boats, my boys, And by your braces stand, And well have one of those + fine whales, Hand, boys, over hand! So, be cheery, my lads! may your + hearts never fail! While the bold harpooner is striking the whale! -What for, then? -Oh, dear, because I have always loved him. I should never like -scolding any one else so well; and that is a point to be thought of in -a husband. -Your mind is quite settled, then, Mary? said Caleb, returning to his -first tone. Theres no other wish come into it since things have been -going on as they have been of late? (Caleb meant a great deal in that -vague phrase;) because, better late than never.

Moby Dick. + +I, Ishmael, was one of that crew; my shouts had gone up with the rest; +my oath had been welded with theirs; and stronger I shouted, and more +did I hammer and clinch my oath, because of the dread in my soul. A +wild, mystical, sympathetical feeling was in me; Ahabs quenchless feud +seemed mine. With greedy ears I learned the history of that murderous +monster against whom I and all the others had taken our oaths of +violence and revenge. + +For some time past, though at intervals only, the unaccompanied, +secluded White Whale had haunted those uncivilized seas mostly +frequented by the Sperm Whale fishermen. But not all of them knew of +his existence; only a few of them, comparatively, had knowingly seen +him; while the number who as yet had actually and knowingly given +battle to him, was small indeed. For, owing to the large number of +whale-cruisers; the disorderly way they were sprinkled over the entire +watery circumference, many of them adventurously pushing their quest +along solitary latitudes, so as seldom or never for a whole twelvemonth +or more on a stretch, to encounter a single news-telling sail of any +sort; the inordinate length of each separate voyage; the irregularity +of the times of sailing from home; all these, with other circumstances, +direct and indirect, long obstructed the spread through the whole +world-wide whaling-fleet of the special individualizing tidings +concerning Moby Dick. It was hardly to be doubted, that several vessels +reported to have encountered, at such or such a time, or on such or +such a meridian, a Sperm Whale of uncommon magnitude and malignity, +which whale, after doing great mischief to his assailants, had +completely escaped them; to some minds it was not an unfair +presumption, I say, that the whale in question must have been no other +than Moby Dick. Yet as of late the Sperm Whale fishery had been marked +by various and not unfrequent instances of great ferocity, cunning, and +malice in the monster attacked; therefore it was, that those who by +accident ignorantly gave battle to Moby Dick; such hunters, perhaps, +for the most part, were content to ascribe the peculiar terror he bred, +more, as it were, to the perils of the Sperm Whale fishery at large, +than to the individual cause. In that way, mostly, the disastrous +encounter between Ahab and the whale had hitherto been popularly +regarded. + +And as for those who, previously hearing of the White Whale, by chance +caught sight of him; in the beginning of the thing they had every one +of them, almost, as boldly and fearlessly lowered for him, as for any +other whale of that species. But at length, such calamities did ensue +in these assaultsnot restricted to sprained wrists and ankles, broken +limbs, or devouring amputationsbut fatal to the last degree of +fatality; those repeated disastrous repulses, all accumulating and +piling their terrors upon Moby Dick; those things had gone far to shake +the fortitude of many brave hunters, to whom the story of the White +Whale had eventually come. + +Nor did wild rumors of all sorts fail to exaggerate, and still the more +horrify the true histories of these deadly encounters. For not only do +fabulous rumors naturally grow out of the very body of all surprising +terrible events,as the smitten tree gives birth to its fungi; but, in +maritime life, far more than in that of terra firma, wild rumors +abound, wherever there is any adequate reality for them to cling to. +And as the sea surpasses the land in this matter, so the whale fishery +surpasses every other sort of maritime life, in the wonderfulness and +fearfulness of the rumors which sometimes circulate there. For not only +are whalemen as a body unexempt from that ignorance and +superstitiousness hereditary to all sailors; but of all sailors, they +are by all odds the most directly brought into contact with whatever is +appallingly astonishing in the sea; face to face they not only eye its +greatest marvels, but, hand to jaw, give battle to them. Alone, in such +remotest waters, that though you sailed a thousand miles, and passed a +thousand shores, you would not come to any chiseled hearth-stone, or +aught hospitable beneath that part of the sun; in such latitudes and +longitudes, pursuing too such a calling as he does, the whaleman is +wrapped by influences all tending to make his fancy pregnant with many +a mighty birth. + +No wonder, then, that ever gathering volume from the mere transit over +the widest watery spaces, the outblown rumors of the White Whale did in +the end incorporate with themselves all manner of morbid hints, and +half-formed ftal suggestions of supernatural agencies, which +eventually invested Moby Dick with new terrors unborrowed from anything +that visibly appears. So that in many cases such a panic did he finally +strike, that few who by those rumors, at least, had heard of the White +Whale, few of those hunters were willing to encounter the perils of his +jaw. + +But there were still other and more vital practical influences at work. +Not even at the present day has the original prestige of the Sperm +Whale, as fearfully distinguished from all other species of the +leviathan, died out of the minds of the whalemen as a body. There are +those this day among them, who, though intelligent and courageous +enough in offering battle to the Greenland or Right whale, would +perhapseither from professional inexperience, or incompetency, or +timidity, decline a contest with the Sperm Whale; at any rate, there +are plenty of whalemen, especially among those whaling nations not +sailing under the American flag, who have never hostilely encountered +the Sperm Whale, but whose sole knowledge of the leviathan is +restricted to the ignoble monster primitively pursued in the North; +seated on their hatches, these men will hearken with a childish +fireside interest and awe, to the wild, strange tales of Southern +whaling. Nor is the pre-eminent tremendousness of the great Sperm Whale +anywhere more feelingly comprehended, than on board of those prows +which stem him. + +And as if the now tested reality of his might had in former legendary +times thrown its shadow before it; we find some book +naturalistsOlassen and Povelsondeclaring the Sperm Whale not only to +be a consternation to every other creature in the sea, but also to be +so incredibly ferocious as continually to be athirst for human blood. +Nor even down to so late a time as Cuviers, were these or almost +similar impressions effaced. For in his Natural History, the Baron +himself affirms that at sight of the Sperm Whale, all fish (sharks +included) are struck with the most lively terrors, and often in the +precipitancy of their flight dash themselves against the rocks with +such violence as to cause instantaneous death. And however the general +experiences in the fishery may amend such reports as these; yet in +their full terribleness, even to the bloodthirsty item of Povelson, the +superstitious belief in them is, in some vicissitudes of their +vocation, revived in the minds of the hunters. + +So that overawed by the rumors and portents concerning him, not a few +of the fishermen recalled, in reference to Moby Dick, the earlier days +of the Sperm Whale fishery, when it was oftentimes hard to induce long +practised Right whalemen to embark in the perils of this new and daring +warfare; such men protesting that although other leviathans might be +hopefully pursued, yet to chase and point lance at such an apparition +as the Sperm Whale was not for mortal man. That to attempt it, would be +inevitably to be torn into a quick eternity. On this head, there are +some remarkable documents that may be consulted. + +Nevertheless, some there were, who even in the face of these things +were ready to give chase to Moby Dick; and a still greater number who, +chancing only to hear of him distantly and vaguely, without the +specific details of any certain calamity, and without superstitious +accompaniments, were sufficiently hardy not to flee from the battle if +offered. + +One of the wild suggestions referred to, as at last coming to be linked +with the White Whale in the minds of the superstitiously inclined, was +the unearthly conceit that Moby Dick was ubiquitous; that he had +actually been encountered in opposite latitudes at one and the same +instant of time. + +Nor, credulous as such minds must have been, was this conceit +altogether without some faint show of superstitious probability. For as +the secrets of the currents in the seas have never yet been divulged, +even to the most erudite research; so the hidden ways of the Sperm +Whale when beneath the surface remain, in great part, unaccountable to +his pursuers; and from time to time have originated the most curious +and contradictory speculations regarding them, especially concerning +the mystic modes whereby, after sounding to a great depth, he +transports himself with such vast swiftness to the most widely distant +points. + +It is a thing well known to both American and English whale-ships, and +as well a thing placed upon authoritative record years ago by Scoresby, +that some whales have been captured far north in the Pacific, in whose +bodies have been found the barbs of harpoons darted in the Greenland +seas. Nor is it to be gainsaid, that in some of these instances it has +been declared that the interval of time between the two assaults could +not have exceeded very many days. Hence, by inference, it has been +believed by some whalemen, that the Nor West Passage, so long a +problem to man, was never a problem to the whale. So that here, in the +real living experience of living men, the prodigies related in old +times of the inland Strello mountain in Portugal (near whose top there +was said to be a lake in which the wrecks of ships floated up to the +surface); and that still more wonderful story of the Arethusa fountain +near Syracuse (whose waters were believed to have come from the Holy +Land by an underground passage); these fabulous narrations are almost +fully equalled by the realities of the whalemen. + +Forced into familiarity, then, with such prodigies as these; and +knowing that after repeated, intrepid assaults, the White Whale had +escaped alive; it cannot be much matter of surprise that some whalemen +should go still further in their superstitions; declaring Moby Dick not +only ubiquitous, but immortal (for immortality is but ubiquity in +time); that though groves of spears should be planted in his flanks, he +would still swim away unharmed; or if indeed he should ever be made to +spout thick blood, such a sight would be but a ghastly deception; for +again in unensanguined billows hundreds of leagues away, his unsullied +jet would once more be seen. + +But even stripped of these supernatural surmisings, there was enough in +the earthly make and incontestable character of the monster to strike +the imagination with unwonted power. For, it was not so much his +uncommon bulk that so much distinguished him from other sperm whales, +but, as was elsewhere thrown outa peculiar snow-white wrinkled +forehead, and a high, pyramidical white hump. These were his prominent +features; the tokens whereby, even in the limitless, uncharted seas, he +revealed his identity, at a long distance, to those who knew him. + +The rest of his body was so streaked, and spotted, and marbled with the +same shrouded hue, that, in the end, he had gained his distinctive +appellation of the White Whale; a name, indeed, literally justified by +his vivid aspect, when seen gliding at high noon through a dark blue +sea, leaving a milky-way wake of creamy foam, all spangled with golden +gleamings. + +Nor was it his unwonted magnitude, nor his remarkable hue, nor yet his +deformed lower jaw, that so much invested the whale with natural +terror, as that unexampled, intelligent malignity which, according to +specific accounts, he had over and over again evinced in his assaults. +More than all, his treacherous retreats struck more of dismay than +perhaps aught else. For, when swimming before his exulting pursuers, +with every apparent symptom of alarm, he had several times been known +to turn round suddenly, and, bearing down upon them, either stave their +boats to splinters, or drive them back in consternation to their ship. + +Already several fatalities had attended his chase. But though similar +disasters, however little bruited ashore, were by no means unusual in +the fishery; yet, in most instances, such seemed the White Whales +infernal aforethought of ferocity, that every dismembering or death +that he caused, was not wholly regarded as having been inflicted by an +unintelligent agent. + +Judge, then, to what pitches of inflamed, distracted fury the minds of +his more desperate hunters were impelled, when amid the chips of chewed +boats, and the sinking limbs of torn comrades, they swam out of the +white curds of the whales direful wrath into the serene, exasperating +sunlight, that smiled on, as if at a birth or a bridal. + +His three boats stove around him, and oars and men both whirling in the +eddies; one captain, seizing the line-knife from his broken prow, had +dashed at the whale, as an Arkansas duellist at his foe, blindly +seeking with a six inch blade to reach the fathom-deep life of the +whale. That captain was Ahab. And then it was, that suddenly sweeping +his sickle-shaped lower jaw beneath him, Moby Dick had reaped away +Ahabs leg, as a mower a blade of grass in the field. No turbaned Turk, +no hired Venetian or Malay, could have smote him with more seeming +malice. Small reason was there to doubt, then, that ever since that +almost fatal encounter, Ahab had cherished a wild vindictiveness +against the whale, all the more fell for that in his frantic morbidness +he at last came to identify with him, not only all his bodily woes, but +all his intellectual and spiritual exasperations. The White Whale swam +before him as the monomaniac incarnation of all those malicious +agencies which some deep men feel eating in them, till they are left +living on with half a heart and half a lung. That intangible malignity +which has been from the beginning; to whose dominion even the modern +Christians ascribe one-half of the worlds; which the ancient Ophites of +the east reverenced in their statue devil;Ahab did not fall down and +worship it like them; but deliriously transferring its idea to the +abhorred white whale, he pitted himself, all mutilated, against it. All +that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; +all truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the +brain; all the subtle demonisms of life and thought; all evil, to crazy +Ahab, were visibly personified, and made practically assailable in Moby +Dick. He piled upon the whales white hump the sum of all the general +rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if +his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot hearts shell upon it. + +It is not probable that this monomania in him took its instant rise at +the precise time of his bodily dismemberment. Then, in darting at the +monster, knife in hand, he had but given loose to a sudden, passionate, +corporal animosity; and when he received the stroke that tore him, he +probably but felt the agonizing bodily laceration, but nothing more. +Yet, when by this collision forced to turn towards home, and for long +months of days and weeks, Ahab and anguish lay stretched together in +one hammock, rounding in mid winter that dreary, howling Patagonian +Cape; then it was, that his torn body and gashed soul bled into one +another; and so interfusing, made him mad. That it was only then, on +the homeward voyage, after the encounter, that the final monomania +seized him, seems all but certain from the fact that, at intervals +during the passage, he was a raving lunatic; and, though unlimbed of a +leg, yet such vital strength yet lurked in his Egyptian chest, and was +moreover intensified by his delirium, that his mates were forced to +lace him fast, even there, as he sailed, raving in his hammock. In a +strait-jacket, he swung to the mad rockings of the gales. And, when +running into more sufferable latitudes, the ship, with mild stunsails +spread, floated across the tranquil tropics, and, to all appearances, +the old mans delirium seemed left behind him with the Cape Horn +swells, and he came forth from his dark den into the blessed light and +air; even then, when he bore that firm, collected front, however pale, +and issued his calm orders once again; and his mates thanked God the +direful madness was now gone; even then, Ahab, in his hidden self, +raved on. Human madness is oftentimes a cunning and most feline thing. +When you think it fled, it may have but become transfigured into some +still subtler form. Ahabs full lunacy subsided not, but deepeningly +contracted; like the unabated Hudson, when that noble Northman flows +narrowly, but unfathomably through the Highland gorge. But, as in his +narrow-flowing monomania, not one jot of Ahabs broad madness had been +left behind; so in that broad madness, not one jot of his great natural +intellect had perished. That before living agent, now became the living +instrument. If such a furious trope may stand, his special lunacy +stormed his general sanity, and carried it, and turned all its +concentred cannon upon its own mad mark; so that far from having lost +his strength, Ahab, to that one end, did now possess a thousand fold +more potency than ever he had sanely brought to bear upon any one +reasonable object. + +This is much; yet Ahabs larger, darker, deeper part remains unhinted. +But vain to popularize profundities, and all truth is profound. Winding +far down from within the very heart of this spiked Hotel de Cluny where +we here standhowever grand and wonderful, now quit it;and take your +way, ye nobler, sadder souls, to those vast Roman halls of Thermes; +where far beneath the fantastic towers of mans upper earth, his root +of grandeur, his whole awful essence sits in bearded state; an antique +buried beneath antiquities, and throned on torsoes! So with a broken +throne, the great gods mock that captive king; so like a Caryatid, he +patient sits, upholding on his frozen brow the piled entablatures of +ages. Wind ye down there, ye prouder, sadder souls! question that +proud, sad king! A family likeness! aye, he did beget ye, ye young +exiled royalties; and from your grim sire only will the old +State-secret come. + +Now, in his heart, Ahab had some glimpse of this, namely: all my means +are sane, my motive and my object mad. Yet without power to kill, or +change, or shun the fact; he likewise knew that to mankind he did long +dissemble; in some sort, did still. But that thing of his dissembling +was only subject to his perceptibility, not to his will determinate. +Nevertheless, so well did he succeed in that dissembling, that when +with ivory leg he stepped ashore at last, no Nantucketer thought him +otherwise than but naturally grieved, and that to the quick, with the +terrible casualty which had overtaken him. + +The report of his undeniable delirium at sea was likewise popularly +ascribed to a kindred cause. And so too, all the added moodiness which +always afterwards, to the very day of sailing in the Pequod on the +present voyage, sat brooding on his brow. Nor is it so very unlikely, +that far from distrusting his fitness for another whaling voyage, on +account of such dark symptoms, the calculating people of that prudent +isle were inclined to harbor the conceit, that for those very reasons +he was all the better qualified and set on edge, for a pursuit so full +of rage and wildness as the bloody hunt of whales. Gnawed within and +scorched without, with the infixed, unrelenting fangs of some incurable +idea; such an one, could he be found, would seem the very man to dart +his iron and lift his lance against the most appalling of all brutes. +Or, if for any reason thought to be corporeally incapacitated for that, +yet such an one would seem superlatively competent to cheer and howl on +his underlings to the attack. But be all this as it may, certain it is, +that with the mad secret of his unabated rage bolted up and keyed in +him, Ahab had purposely sailed upon the present voyage with the one +only and all-engrossing object of hunting the White Whale. Had any one +of his old acquaintances on shore but half dreamed of what was lurking +in him then, how soon would their aghast and righteous souls have +wrenched the ship from such a fiendish man! They were bent on +profitable cruises, the profit to be counted down in dollars from the +mint. He was intent on an audacious, immitigable, and supernatural +revenge. + +Here, then, was this grey-headed, ungodly old man, chasing with curses +a Jobs whale round the world, at the head of a crew, too, chiefly made +up of mongrel renegades, and castaways, and cannibalsmorally enfeebled +also, by the incompetence of mere unaided virtue or right-mindedness in +Starbuck, the invulnerable jollity of indifference and recklessness in +Stubb, and the pervading mediocrity in Flask. Such a crew, so +officered, seemed specially picked and packed by some infernal fatality +to help him to his monomaniac revenge. How it was that they so +aboundingly responded to the old mans ireby what evil magic their +souls were possessed, that at times his hate seemed almost theirs; the +White Whale as much their insufferable foe as his; how all this came to +bewhat the White Whale was to them, or how to their unconscious +understandings, also, in some dim, unsuspected way, he might have +seemed the gliding great demon of the seas of life,all this to +explain, would be to dive deeper than Ishmael can go. The subterranean +miner that works in us all, how can one tell whither leads his shaft by +the ever shifting, muffled sound of his pick? Who does not feel the +irresistible arm drag? What skiff in tow of a seventy-four can stand +still? For one, I gave myself up to the abandonment of the time and the +place; but while yet all a-rush to encounter the whale, could see +naught in that brute but the deadliest ill. + + +CHAPTER 42. The Whiteness of the Whale. + +What the white whale was to Ahab, has been hinted; what, at times, he +was to me, as yet remains unsaid. + +Aside from those more obvious considerations touching Moby Dick, which +could not but occasionally awaken in any mans soul some alarm, there +was another thought, or rather vague, nameless horror concerning him, +which at times by its intensity completely overpowered all the rest; +and yet so mystical and well nigh ineffable was it, that I almost +despair of putting it in a comprehensible form. It was the whiteness of +the whale that above all things appalled me. But how can I hope to +explain myself here; and yet, in some dim, random way, explain myself I +must, else all these chapters might be naught. + +Though in many natural objects, whiteness refiningly enhances beauty, +as if imparting some special virtue of its own, as in marbles, +japonicas, and pearls; and though various nations have in some way +recognised a certain royal preeminence in this hue; even the barbaric, +grand old kings of Pegu placing the title Lord of the White Elephants +above all their other magniloquent ascriptions of dominion; and the +modern kings of Siam unfurling the same snow-white quadruped in the +royal standard; and the Hanoverian flag bearing the one figure of a +snow-white charger; and the great Austrian Empire, Csarian, heir to +overlording Rome, having for the imperial colour the same imperial hue; +and though this pre-eminence in it applies to the human race itself, +giving the white man ideal mastership over every dusky tribe; and +though, besides, all this, whiteness has been even made significant of +gladness, for among the Romans a white stone marked a joyful day; and +though in other mortal sympathies and symbolizings, this same hue is +made the emblem of many touching, noble thingsthe innocence of brides, +the benignity of age; though among the Red Men of America the giving of +the white belt of wampum was the deepest pledge of honor; though in +many climes, whiteness typifies the majesty of Justice in the ermine of +the Judge, and contributes to the daily state of kings and queens drawn +by milk-white steeds; though even in the higher mysteries of the most +august religions it has been made the symbol of the divine spotlessness +and power; by the Persian fire worshippers, the white forked flame +being held the holiest on the altar; and in the Greek mythologies, +Great Jove himself being made incarnate in a snow-white bull; and +though to the noble Iroquois, the midwinter sacrifice of the sacred +White Dog was by far the holiest festival of their theology, that +spotless, faithful creature being held the purest envoy they could send +to the Great Spirit with the annual tidings of their own fidelity; and +though directly from the Latin word for white, all Christian priests +derive the name of one part of their sacred vesture, the alb or tunic, +worn beneath the cassock; and though among the holy pomps of the Romish +faith, white is specially employed in the celebration of the Passion of +our Lord; though in the Vision of St. John, white robes are given to +the redeemed, and the four-and-twenty elders stand clothed in white +before the great white throne, and the Holy One that sitteth there +white like wool; yet for all these accumulated associations, with +whatever is sweet, and honorable, and sublime, there yet lurks an +elusive something in the innermost idea of this hue, which strikes more +of panic to the soul than that redness which affrights in blood. + +This elusive quality it is, which causes the thought of whiteness, when +divorced from more kindly associations, and coupled with any object +terrible in itself, to heighten that terror to the furthest bounds. +Witness the white bear of the poles, and the white shark of the +tropics; what but their smooth, flaky whiteness makes them the +transcendent horrors they are? That ghastly whiteness it is which +imparts such an abhorrent mildness, even more loathsome than terrific, +to the dumb gloating of their aspect. So that not the fierce-fanged +tiger in his heraldic coat can so stagger courage as the white-shrouded +bear or shark.* + +*With reference to the Polar bear, it may possibly be urged by him who +would fain go still deeper into this matter, that it is not the +whiteness, separately regarded, which heightens the intolerable +hideousness of that brute; for, analysed, that heightened hideousness, +it might be said, only rises from the circumstance, that the +irresponsible ferociousness of the creature stands invested in the +fleece of celestial innocence and love; and hence, by bringing together +two such opposite emotions in our minds, the Polar bear frightens us +with so unnatural a contrast. But even assuming all this to be true; +yet, were it not for the whiteness, you would not have that intensified +terror. + +As for the white shark, the white gliding ghostliness of repose in that +creature, when beheld in his ordinary moods, strangely tallies with the +same quality in the Polar quadruped. This peculiarity is most vividly +hit by the French in the name they bestow upon that fish. The Romish +mass for the dead begins with Requiem eternam (eternal rest), whence +_Requiem_ denominating the mass itself, and any other funeral music. +Now, in allusion to the white, silent stillness of death in this shark, +and the mild deadliness of his habits, the French call him _Requin_. + +Bethink thee of the albatross, whence come those clouds of spiritual +wonderment and pale dread, in which that white phantom sails in all +imaginations? Not Coleridge first threw that spell; but Gods great, +unflattering laureate, Nature.* + +*I remember the first albatross I ever saw. It was during a prolonged +gale, in waters hard upon the Antarctic seas. From my forenoon watch +below, I ascended to the overclouded deck; and there, dashed upon the +main hatches, I saw a regal, feathery thing of unspotted whiteness, and +with a hooked, Roman bill sublime. At intervals, it arched forth its +vast archangel wings, as if to embrace some holy ark. Wondrous +flutterings and throbbings shook it. Though bodily unharmed, it uttered +cries, as some kings ghost in supernatural distress. Through its +inexpressible, strange eyes, methought I peeped to secrets which took +hold of God. As Abraham before the angels, I bowed myself; the white +thing was so white, its wings so wide, and in those for ever exiled +waters, I had lost the miserable warping memories of traditions and of +towns. Long I gazed at that prodigy of plumage. I cannot tell, can only +hint, the things that darted through me then. But at last I awoke; and +turning, asked a sailor what bird was this. A goney, he replied. Goney! +never had heard that name before; is it conceivable that this glorious +thing is utterly unknown to men ashore! never! But some time after, I +learned that goney was some seamans name for albatross. So that by no +possibility could Coleridges wild Rhyme have had aught to do with +those mystical impressions which were mine, when I saw that bird upon +our deck. For neither had I then read the Rhyme, nor knew the bird to +be an albatross. Yet, in saying this, I do but indirectly burnish a +little brighter the noble merit of the poem and the poet. + +I assert, then, that in the wondrous bodily whiteness of the bird +chiefly lurks the secret of the spell; a truth the more evinced in +this, that by a solecism of terms there are birds called grey +albatrosses; and these I have frequently seen, but never with such +emotions as when I beheld the Antarctic fowl. + +But how had the mystic thing been caught? Whisper it not, and I will +tell; with a treacherous hook and line, as the fowl floated on the sea. +At last the Captain made a postman of it; tying a lettered, leathern +tally round its neck, with the ships time and place; and then letting +it escape. But I doubt not, that leathern tally, meant for man, was +taken off in Heaven, when the white fowl flew to join the wing-folding, +the invoking, and adoring cherubim! + +Most famous in our Western annals and Indian traditions is that of the +White Steed of the Prairies; a magnificent milk-white charger, +large-eyed, small-headed, bluff-chested, and with the dignity of a +thousand monarchs in his lofty, overscorning carriage. He was the +elected Xerxes of vast herds of wild horses, whose pastures in those +days were only fenced by the Rocky Mountains and the Alleghanies. At +their flaming head he westward trooped it like that chosen star which +every evening leads on the hosts of light. The flashing cascade of his +mane, the curving comet of his tail, invested him with housings more +resplendent than gold and silver-beaters could have furnished him. A +most imperial and archangelical apparition of that unfallen, western +world, which to the eyes of the old trappers and hunters revived the +glories of those primeval times when Adam walked majestic as a god, +bluff-browed and fearless as this mighty steed. Whether marching amid +his aides and marshals in the van of countless cohorts that endlessly +streamed it over the plains, like an Ohio; or whether with his +circumambient subjects browsing all around at the horizon, the White +Steed gallopingly reviewed them with warm nostrils reddening through +his cool milkiness; in whatever aspect he presented himself, always to +the bravest Indians he was the object of trembling reverence and awe. +Nor can it be questioned from what stands on legendary record of this +noble horse, that it was his spiritual whiteness chiefly, which so +clothed him with divineness; and that this divineness had that in it +which, though commanding worship, at the same time enforced a certain +nameless terror. + +But there are other instances where this whiteness loses all that +accessory and strange glory which invests it in the White Steed and +Albatross. + +What is it that in the Albino man so peculiarly repels and often shocks +the eye, as that sometimes he is loathed by his own kith and kin! It is +that whiteness which invests him, a thing expressed by the name he +bears. The Albino is as well made as other menhas no substantive +deformityand yet this mere aspect of all-pervading whiteness makes him +more strangely hideous than the ugliest abortion. Why should this be +so? + +Nor, in quite other aspects, does Nature in her least palpable but not +the less malicious agencies, fail to enlist among her forces this +crowning attribute of the terrible. From its snowy aspect, the +gauntleted ghost of the Southern Seas has been denominated the White +Squall. Nor, in some historic instances, has the art of human malice +omitted so potent an auxiliary. How wildly it heightens the effect of +that passage in Froissart, when, masked in the snowy symbol of their +faction, the desperate White Hoods of Ghent murder their bailiff in the +market-place! + +Nor, in some things, does the common, hereditary experience of all +mankind fail to bear witness to the supernaturalism of this hue. It +cannot well be doubted, that the one visible quality in the aspect of +the dead which most appals the gazer, is the marble pallor lingering +there; as if indeed that pallor were as much like the badge of +consternation in the other world, as of mortal trepidation here. And +from that pallor of the dead, we borrow the expressive hue of the +shroud in which we wrap them. Nor even in our superstitions do we fail +to throw the same snowy mantle round our phantoms; all ghosts rising in +a milk-white fogYea, while these terrors seize us, let us add, that +even the king of terrors, when personified by the evangelist, rides on +his pallid horse. + +Therefore, in his other moods, symbolize whatever grand or gracious +thing he will by whiteness, no man can deny that in its profoundest +idealized significance it calls up a peculiar apparition to the soul. + +But though without dissent this point be fixed, how is mortal man to +account for it? To analyse it, would seem impossible. Can we, then, by +the citation of some of those instances wherein this thing of +whitenessthough for the time either wholly or in great part stripped +of all direct associations calculated to impart to it aught fearful, +but nevertheless, is found to exert over us the same sorcery, however +modified;can we thus hope to light upon some chance clue to conduct us +to the hidden cause we seek? + +Let us try. But in a matter like this, subtlety appeals to subtlety, +and without imagination no man can follow another into these halls. And +though, doubtless, some at least of the imaginative impressions about +to be presented may have been shared by most men, yet few perhaps were +entirely conscious of them at the time, and therefore may not be able +to recall them now. + +Why to the man of untutored ideality, who happens to be but loosely +acquainted with the peculiar character of the day, does the bare +mention of Whitsuntide marshal in the fancy such long, dreary, +speechless processions of slow-pacing pilgrims, down-cast and hooded +with new-fallen snow? Or, to the unread, unsophisticated Protestant of +the Middle American States, why does the passing mention of a White +Friar or a White Nun, evoke such an eyeless statue in the soul? + +Or what is there apart from the traditions of dungeoned warriors and +kings (which will not wholly account for it) that makes the White Tower +of London tell so much more strongly on the imagination of an +untravelled American, than those other storied structures, its +neighborsthe Byward Tower, or even the Bloody? And those sublimer +towers, the White Mountains of New Hampshire, whence, in peculiar +moods, comes that gigantic ghostliness over the soul at the bare +mention of that name, while the thought of Virginias Blue Ridge is +full of a soft, dewy, distant dreaminess? Or why, irrespective of all +latitudes and longitudes, does the name of the White Sea exert such a +spectralness over the fancy, while that of the Yellow Sea lulls us with +mortal thoughts of long lacquered mild afternoons on the waves, +followed by the gaudiest and yet sleepiest of sunsets? Or, to choose a +wholly unsubstantial instance, purely addressed to the fancy, why, in +reading the old fairy tales of Central Europe, does the tall pale man +of the Hartz forests, whose changeless pallor unrustlingly glides +through the green of the groveswhy is this phantom more terrible than +all the whooping imps of the Blocksburg? + +Nor is it, altogether, the remembrance of her cathedral-toppling +earthquakes; nor the stampedoes of her frantic seas; nor the +tearlessness of arid skies that never rain; nor the sight of her wide +field of leaning spires, wrenched cope-stones, and crosses all adroop +(like canted yards of anchored fleets); and her suburban avenues of +house-walls lying over upon each other, as a tossed pack of cards;it +is not these things alone which make tearless Lima, the strangest, +saddest city thou canst see. For Lima has taken the white veil; and +there is a higher horror in this whiteness of her woe. Old as Pizarro, +this whiteness keeps her ruins for ever new; admits not the cheerful +greenness of complete decay; spreads over her broken ramparts the rigid +pallor of an apoplexy that fixes its own distortions. + +I know that, to the common apprehension, this phenomenon of whiteness +is not confessed to be the prime agent in exaggerating the terror of +objects otherwise terrible; nor to the unimaginative mind is there +aught of terror in those appearances whose awfulness to another mind +almost solely consists in this one phenomenon, especially when +exhibited under any form at all approaching to muteness or +universality. What I mean by these two statements may perhaps be +respectively elucidated by the following examples. + +First: The mariner, when drawing nigh the coasts of foreign lands, if +by night he hear the roar of breakers, starts to vigilance, and feels +just enough of trepidation to sharpen all his faculties; but under +precisely similar circumstances, let him be called from his hammock to +view his ship sailing through a midnight sea of milky whitenessas if +from encircling headlands shoals of combed white bears were swimming +round him, then he feels a silent, superstitious dread; the shrouded +phantom of the whitened waters is horrible to him as a real ghost; in +vain the lead assures him he is still off soundings; heart and helm +they both go down; he never rests till blue water is under him again. +Yet where is the mariner who will tell thee, Sir, it was not so much +the fear of striking hidden rocks, as the fear of that hideous +whiteness that so stirred me? + +Second: To the native Indian of Peru, the continual sight of the +snow-howdahed Andes conveys naught of dread, except, perhaps, in the +mere fancying of the eternal frosted desolateness reigning at such vast +altitudes, and the natural conceit of what a fearfulness it would be to +lose oneself in such inhuman solitudes. Much the same is it with the +backwoodsman of the West, who with comparative indifference views an +unbounded prairie sheeted with driven snow, no shadow of tree or twig +to break the fixed trance of whiteness. Not so the sailor, beholding +the scenery of the Antarctic seas; where at times, by some infernal +trick of legerdemain in the powers of frost and air, he, shivering and +half shipwrecked, instead of rainbows speaking hope and solace to his +misery, views what seems a boundless churchyard grinning upon him with +its lean ice monuments and splintered crosses. + +But thou sayest, methinks that white-lead chapter about whiteness is +but a white flag hung out from a craven soul; thou surrenderest to a +hypo, Ishmael. + +Tell me, why this strong young colt, foaled in some peaceful valley of +Vermont, far removed from all beasts of preywhy is it that upon the +sunniest day, if you but shake a fresh buffalo robe behind him, so that +he cannot even see it, but only smells its wild animal muskinesswhy +will he start, snort, and with bursting eyes paw the ground in +phrensies of affright? There is no remembrance in him of any gorings of +wild creatures in his green northern home, so that the strange +muskiness he smells cannot recall to him anything associated with the +experience of former perils; for what knows he, this New England colt, +of the black bisons of distant Oregon? + +No: but here thou beholdest even in a dumb brute, the instinct of the +knowledge of the demonism in the world. Though thousands of miles from +Oregon, still when he smells that savage musk, the rending, goring +bison herds are as present as to the deserted wild foal of the +prairies, which this instant they may be trampling into dust. + +Thus, then, the muffled rollings of a milky sea; the bleak rustlings of +the festooned frosts of mountains; the desolate shiftings of the +windrowed snows of prairies; all these, to Ishmael, are as the shaking +of that buffalo robe to the frightened colt! + +Though neither knows where lie the nameless things of which the mystic +sign gives forth such hints; yet with me, as with the colt, somewhere +those things must exist. Though in many of its aspects this visible +world seems formed in love, the invisible spheres were formed in +fright. + +But not yet have we solved the incantation of this whiteness, and +learned why it appeals with such power to the soul; and more strange +and far more portentouswhy, as we have seen, it is at once the most +meaning symbol of spiritual things, nay, the very veil of the +Christians Deity; and yet should be as it is, the intensifying agent +in things the most appalling to mankind. + +Is it that by its indefiniteness it shadows forth the heartless voids +and immensities of the universe, and thus stabs us from behind with the +thought of annihilation, when beholding the white depths of the milky +way? Or is it, that as in essence whiteness is not so much a colour as +the visible absence of colour; and at the same time the concrete of all +colours; is it for these reasons that there is such a dumb blankness, +full of meaning, in a wide landscape of snowsa colourless, all-colour +of atheism from which we shrink? And when we consider that other theory +of the natural philosophers, that all other earthly huesevery stately +or lovely emblazoningthe sweet tinges of sunset skies and woods; yea, +and the gilded velvets of butterflies, and the butterfly cheeks of +young girls; all these are but subtile deceits, not actually inherent +in substances, but only laid on from without; so that all deified +Nature absolutely paints like the harlot, whose allurements cover +nothing but the charnel-house within; and when we proceed further, and +consider that the mystical cosmetic which produces every one of her +hues, the great principle of light, for ever remains white or colorless +in itself, and if operating without medium upon matter, would touch all +objects, even tulips and roses, with its own blank tingepondering all +this, the palsied universe lies before us a leper; and like wilful +travellers in Lapland, who refuse to wear coloured and colouring +glasses upon their eyes, so the wretched infidel gazes himself blind at +the monumental white shroud that wraps all the prospect around him. And +of all these things the Albino whale was the symbol. Wonder ye then at +the fiery hunt? + + +CHAPTER 43. Hark! + +HIST! Did you hear that noise, Cabaco? + +It was the middle-watch: a fair moonlight; the seamen were standing in +a cordon, extending from one of the fresh-water butts in the waist, to +the scuttle-butt near the taffrail. In this manner, they passed the +buckets to fill the scuttle-butt. Standing, for the most part, on the +hallowed precincts of the quarter-deck, they were careful not to speak +or rustle their feet. From hand to hand, the buckets went in the +deepest silence, only broken by the occasional flap of a sail, and the +steady hum of the unceasingly advancing keel. + +It was in the midst of this repose, that Archy, one of the cordon, +whose post was near the after-hatches, whispered to his neighbor, a +Cholo, the words above. + +Hist! did you hear that noise, Cabaco? + +Take the bucket, will ye, Archy? what noise dye mean? + +There it is againunder the hatchesdont you hear ita coughit +sounded like a cough. + +Cough be damned! Pass along that return bucket. + +There againthere it is!it sounds like two or three sleepers turning +over, now! + +Caramba! have done, shipmate, will ye? Its the three soaked biscuits +ye eat for supper turning over inside of yenothing else. Look to the +bucket! + +Say what ye will, shipmate; Ive sharp ears. + +Aye, you are the chap, aint ye, that heard the hum of the old +Quakeresss knitting-needles fifty miles at sea from Nantucket; youre +the chap. + +Grin away; well see what turns up. Hark ye, Cabaco, there is somebody +down in the after-hold that has not yet been seen on deck; and I +suspect our old Mogul knows something of it too. I heard Stubb tell +Flask, one morning watch, that there was something of that sort in the +wind. + +Tish! the bucket! + + +CHAPTER 44. The Chart. + +Had you followed Captain Ahab down into his cabin after the squall that +took place on the night succeeding that wild ratification of his +purpose with his crew, you would have seen him go to a locker in the +transom, and bringing out a large wrinkled roll of yellowish sea +charts, spread them before him on his screwed-down table. Then seating +himself before it, you would have seen him intently study the various +lines and shadings which there met his eye; and with slow but steady +pencil trace additional courses over spaces that before were blank. At +intervals, he would refer to piles of old log-books beside him, wherein +were set down the seasons and places in which, on various former +voyages of various ships, sperm whales had been captured or seen. + +While thus employed, the heavy pewter lamp suspended in chains over his +head, continually rocked with the motion of the ship, and for ever +threw shifting gleams and shadows of lines upon his wrinkled brow, till +it almost seemed that while he himself was marking out lines and +courses on the wrinkled charts, some invisible pencil was also tracing +lines and courses upon the deeply marked chart of his forehead. + +But it was not this night in particular that, in the solitude of his +cabin, Ahab thus pondered over his charts. Almost every night they were +brought out; almost every night some pencil marks were effaced, and +others were substituted. For with the charts of all four oceans before +him, Ahab was threading a maze of currents and eddies, with a view to +the more certain accomplishment of that monomaniac thought of his soul. + +Now, to any one not fully acquainted with the ways of the leviathans, +it might seem an absurdly hopeless task thus to seek out one solitary +creature in the unhooped oceans of this planet. But not so did it seem +to Ahab, who knew the sets of all tides and currents; and thereby +calculating the driftings of the sperm whales food; and, also, calling +to mind the regular, ascertained seasons for hunting him in particular +latitudes; could arrive at reasonable surmises, almost approaching to +certainties, concerning the timeliest day to be upon this or that +ground in search of his prey. + +So assured, indeed, is the fact concerning the periodicalness of the +sperm whales resorting to given waters, that many hunters believe +that, could he be closely observed and studied throughout the world; +were the logs for one voyage of the entire whale fleet carefully +collated, then the migrations of the sperm whale would be found to +correspond in invariability to those of the herring-shoals or the +flights of swallows. On this hint, attempts have been made to construct +elaborate migratory charts of the sperm whale.* + + + *Since the above was written, the statement is happily borne out by + an official circular, issued by Lieutenant Maury, of the National + Observatory, Washington, April 16th, 1851. By that circular, it + appears that precisely such a chart is in course of completion; and + portions of it are presented in the circular. This chart divides the + ocean into districts of five degrees of latitude by five degrees of + longitude; perpendicularly through each of which districts are twelve + columns for the twelve months; and horizontally through each of which + districts are three lines; one to show the number of days that have + been spent in each month in every district, and the two others to + show the number of days in which whales, sperm or right, have been + seen. + + + + +Besides, when making a passage from one feeding-ground to another, the +sperm whales, guided by some infallible instinctsay, rather, secret +intelligence from the Deitymostly swim in _veins_, as they are called; +continuing their way along a given ocean-line with such undeviating +exactitude, that no ship ever sailed her course, by any chart, with one +tithe of such marvellous precision. Though, in these cases, the +direction taken by any one whale be straight as a surveyors parallel, +and though the line of advance be strictly confined to its own +unavoidable, straight wake, yet the arbitrary _vein_ in which at these +times he is said to swim, generally embraces some few miles in width +(more or less, as the vein is presumed to expand or contract); but +never exceeds the visual sweep from the whale-ships mast-heads, when +circumspectly gliding along this magic zone. The sum is, that at +particular seasons within that breadth and along that path, migrating +whales may with great confidence be looked for. + +And hence not only at substantiated times, upon well known separate +feeding-grounds, could Ahab hope to encounter his prey; but in crossing +the widest expanses of water between those grounds he could, by his +art, so place and time himself on his way, as even then not to be +wholly without prospect of a meeting. + +There was a circumstance which at first sight seemed to entangle his +delirious but still methodical scheme. But not so in the reality, +perhaps. Though the gregarious sperm whales have their regular seasons +for particular grounds, yet in general you cannot conclude that the +herds which haunted such and such a latitude or longitude this year, +say, will turn out to be identically the same with those that were +found there the preceding season; though there are peculiar and +unquestionable instances where the contrary of this has proved true. In +general, the same remark, only within a less wide limit, applies to the +solitaries and hermits among the matured, aged sperm whales. So that +though Moby Dick had in a former year been seen, for example, on what +is called the Seychelle ground in the Indian ocean, or Volcano Bay on +the Japanese Coast; yet it did not follow, that were the Pequod to +visit either of those spots at any subsequent corresponding season, she +would infallibly encounter him there. So, too, with some other feeding +grounds, where he had at times revealed himself. But all these seemed +only his casual stopping-places and ocean-inns, so to speak, not his +places of prolonged abode. And where Ahabs chances of accomplishing +his object have hitherto been spoken of, allusion has only been made to +whatever way-side, antecedent, extra prospects were his, ere a +particular set time or place were attained, when all possibilities +would become probabilities, and, as Ahab fondly thought, every +possibility the next thing to a certainty. That particular set time and +place were conjoined in the one technical phrasethe +Season-on-the-Line. For there and then, for several consecutive years, +Moby Dick had been periodically descried, lingering in those waters for +awhile, as the sun, in its annual round, loiters for a predicted +interval in any one sign of the Zodiac. There it was, too, that most of +the deadly encounters with the white whale had taken place; there the +waves were storied with his deeds; there also was that tragic spot +where the monomaniac old man had found the awful motive to his +vengeance. But in the cautious comprehensiveness and unloitering +vigilance with which Ahab threw his brooding soul into this unfaltering +hunt, he would not permit himself to rest all his hopes upon the one +crowning fact above mentioned, however flattering it might be to those +hopes; nor in the sleeplessness of his vow could he so tranquillize his +unquiet heart as to postpone all intervening quest. + +Now, the Pequod had sailed from Nantucket at the very beginning of the +Season-on-the-Line. No possible endeavor then could enable her +commander to make the great passage southwards, double Cape Horn, and +then running down sixty degrees of latitude arrive in the equatorial +Pacific in time to cruise there. Therefore, he must wait for the next +ensuing season. Yet the premature hour of the Pequods sailing had, +perhaps, been correctly selected by Ahab, with a view to this very +complexion of things. Because, an interval of three hundred and +sixty-five days and nights was before him; an interval which, instead +of impatiently enduring ashore, he would spend in a miscellaneous hunt; +if by chance the White Whale, spending his vacation in seas far remote +from his periodical feeding-grounds, should turn up his wrinkled brow +off the Persian Gulf, or in the Bengal Bay, or China Seas, or in any +other waters haunted by his race. So that Monsoons, Pampas, +Nor-Westers, Harmattans, Trades; any wind but the Levanter and Simoon, +might blow Moby Dick into the devious zig-zag world-circle of the +Pequods circumnavigating wake. + +But granting all this; yet, regarded discreetly and coolly, seems it +not but a mad idea, this; that in the broad boundless ocean, one +solitary whale, even if encountered, should be thought capable of +individual recognition from his hunter, even as a white-bearded Mufti +in the thronged thoroughfares of Constantinople? Yes. For the peculiar +snow-white brow of Moby Dick, and his snow-white hump, could not but be +unmistakable. And have I not tallied the whale, Ahab would mutter to +himself, as after poring over his charts till long after midnight he +would throw himself back in reveriestallied him, and shall he escape? +His broad fins are bored, and scalloped out like a lost sheeps ear! +And here, his mad mind would run on in a breathless race; till a +weariness and faintness of pondering came over him; and in the open air +of the deck he would seek to recover his strength. Ah, God! what +trances of torments does that man endure who is consumed with one +unachieved revengeful desire. He sleeps with clenched hands; and wakes +with his own bloody nails in his palms. + +Often, when forced from his hammock by exhausting and intolerably vivid +dreams of the night, which, resuming his own intense thoughts through +the day, carried them on amid a clashing of phrensies, and whirled them +round and round and round in his blazing brain, till the very throbbing +of his life-spot became insufferable anguish; and when, as was +sometimes the case, these spiritual throes in him heaved his being up +from its base, and a chasm seemed opening in him, from which forked +flames and lightnings shot up, and accursed fiends beckoned him to leap +down among them; when this hell in himself yawned beneath him, a wild +cry would be heard through the ship; and with glaring eyes Ahab would +burst from his state room, as though escaping from a bed that was on +fire. Yet these, perhaps, instead of being the unsuppressable symptoms +of some latent weakness, or fright at his own resolve, were but the +plainest tokens of its intensity. For, at such times, crazy Ahab, the +scheming, unappeasedly steadfast hunter of the white whale; this Ahab +that had gone to his hammock, was not the agent that so caused him to +burst from it in horror again. The latter was the eternal, living +principle or soul in him; and in sleep, being for the time dissociated +from the characterizing mind, which at other times employed it for its +outer vehicle or agent, it spontaneously sought escape from the +scorching contiguity of the frantic thing, of which, for the time, it +was no longer an integral. But as the mind does not exist unless +leagued with the soul, therefore it must have been that, in Ahabs +case, yielding up all his thoughts and fancies to his one supreme +purpose; that purpose, by its own sheer inveteracy of will, forced +itself against gods and devils into a kind of self-assumed, independent +being of its own. Nay, could grimly live and burn, while the common +vitality to which it was conjoined, fled horror-stricken from the +unbidden and unfathered birth. Therefore, the tormented spirit that +glared out of bodily eyes, when what seemed Ahab rushed from his room, +was for the time but a vacated thing, a formless somnambulistic being, +a ray of living light, to be sure, but without an object to colour, and +therefore a blankness in itself. God help thee, old man, thy thoughts +have created a creature in thee; and he whose intense thinking thus +makes him a Prometheus; a vulture feeds upon that heart for ever; that +vulture the very creature he creates. + + +CHAPTER 45. The Affidavit. + +So far as what there may be of a narrative in this book; and, indeed, +as indirectly touching one or two very interesting and curious +particulars in the habits of sperm whales, the foregoing chapter, in +its earlier part, is as important a one as will be found in this +volume; but the leading matter of it requires to be still further and +more familiarly enlarged upon, in order to be adequately understood, +and moreover to take away any incredulity which a profound ignorance of +the entire subject may induce in some minds, as to the natural verity +of the main points of this affair. + +I care not to perform this part of my task methodically; but shall be +content to produce the desired impression by separate citations of +items, practically or reliably known to me as a whaleman; and from +these citations, I take itthe conclusion aimed at will naturally +follow of itself. + +First: I have personally known three instances where a whale, after +receiving a harpoon, has effected a complete escape; and, after an +interval (in one instance of three years), has been again struck by the +same hand, and slain; when the two irons, both marked by the same +private cypher, have been taken from the body. In the instance where +three years intervened between the flinging of the two harpoons; and I +think it may have been something more than that; the man who darted +them happening, in the interval, to go in a trading ship on a voyage to +Africa, went ashore there, joined a discovery party, and penetrated far +into the interior, where he travelled for a period of nearly two years, +often endangered by serpents, savages, tigers, poisonous miasmas, with +all the other common perils incident to wandering in the heart of +unknown regions. Meanwhile, the whale he had struck must also have been +on its travels; no doubt it had thrice circumnavigated the globe, +brushing with its flanks all the coasts of Africa; but to no purpose. +This man and this whale again came together, and the one vanquished the +other. I say I, myself, have known three instances similar to this; +that is in two of them I saw the whales struck; and, upon the second +attack, saw the two irons with the respective marks cut in them, +afterwards taken from the dead fish. In the three-year instance, it so +fell out that I was in the boat both times, first and last, and the +last time distinctly recognised a peculiar sort of huge mole under the +whales eye, which I had observed there three years previous. I say +three years, but I am pretty sure it was more than that. Here are three +instances, then, which I personally know the truth of; but I have heard +of many other instances from persons whose veracity in the matter there +is no good ground to impeach. + +Secondly: It is well known in the Sperm Whale Fishery, however ignorant +the world ashore may be of it, that there have been several memorable +historical instances where a particular whale in the ocean has been at +distant times and places popularly cognisable. Why such a whale became +thus marked was not altogether and originally owing to his bodily +peculiarities as distinguished from other whales; for however peculiar +in that respect any chance whale may be, they soon put an end to his +peculiarities by killing him, and boiling him down into a peculiarly +valuable oil. No: the reason was this: that from the fatal experiences +of the fishery there hung a terrible prestige of perilousness about +such a whale as there did about Rinaldo Rinaldini, insomuch that most +fishermen were content to recognise him by merely touching their +tarpaulins when he would be discovered lounging by them on the sea, +without seeking to cultivate a more intimate acquaintance. Like some +poor devils ashore that happen to know an irascible great man, they +make distant unobtrusive salutations to him in the street, lest if they +pursued the acquaintance further, they might receive a summary thump +for their presumption. + +But not only did each of these famous whales enjoy great individual +celebrityNay, you may call it an ocean-wide renown; not only was he +famous in life and now is immortal in forecastle stories after death, +but he was admitted into all the rights, privileges, and distinctions +of a name; had as much a name indeed as Cambyses or Csar. Was it not +so, O Timor Tom! thou famed leviathan, scarred like an iceberg, who so +long didst lurk in the Oriental straits of that name, whose spout was +oft seen from the palmy beach of Ombay? Was it not so, O New Zealand +Jack! thou terror of all cruisers that crossed their wakes in the +vicinity of the Tattoo Land? Was it not so, O Morquan! King of Japan, +whose lofty jet they say at times assumed the semblance of a snow-white +cross against the sky? Was it not so, O Don Miguel! thou Chilian whale, +marked like an old tortoise with mystic hieroglyphics upon the back! In +plain prose, here are four whales as well known to the students of +Cetacean History as Marius or Sylla to the classic scholar. + +But this is not all. New Zealand Tom and Don Miguel, after at various +times creating great havoc among the boats of different vessels, were +finally gone in quest of, systematically hunted out, chased and killed +by valiant whaling captains, who heaved up their anchors with that +express object as much in view, as in setting out through the +Narragansett Woods, Captain Butler of old had it in his mind to capture +that notorious murderous savage Annawon, the headmost warrior of the +Indian King Philip. + +I do not know where I can find a better place than just here, to make +mention of one or two other things, which to me seem important, as in +printed form establishing in all respects the reasonableness of the +whole story of the White Whale, more especially the catastrophe. For +this is one of those disheartening instances where truth requires full +as much bolstering as error. So ignorant are most landsmen of some of +the plainest and most palpable wonders of the world, that without some +hints touching the plain facts, historical and otherwise, of the +fishery, they might scout at Moby Dick as a monstrous fable, or still +worse and more detestable, a hideous and intolerable allegory. + +First: Though most men have some vague flitting ideas of the general +perils of the grand fishery, yet they have nothing like a fixed, vivid +conception of those perils, and the frequency with which they recur. +One reason perhaps is, that not one in fifty of the actual disasters +and deaths by casualties in the fishery, ever finds a public record at +home, however transient and immediately forgotten that record. Do you +suppose that that poor fellow there, who this moment perhaps caught by +the whale-line off the coast of New Guinea, is being carried down to +the bottom of the sea by the sounding leviathando you suppose that +that poor fellows name will appear in the newspaper obituary you will +read to-morrow at your breakfast? No: because the mails are very +irregular between here and New Guinea. In fact, did you ever hear what +might be called regular news direct or indirect from New Guinea? Yet I +tell you that upon one particular voyage which I made to the Pacific, +among many others we spoke thirty different ships, every one of which +had had a death by a whale, some of them more than one, and three that +had each lost a boats crew. For Gods sake, be economical with your +lamps and candles! not a gallon you burn, but at least one drop of +mans blood was spilled for it. + +Secondly: People ashore have indeed some indefinite idea that a whale +is an enormous creature of enormous power; but I have ever found that +when narrating to them some specific example of this two-fold +enormousness, they have significantly complimented me upon my +facetiousness; when, I declare upon my soul, I had no more idea of +being facetious than Moses, when he wrote the history of the plagues of +Egypt. + +But fortunately the special point I here seek can be established upon +testimony entirely independent of my own. That point is this: The Sperm +Whale is in some cases sufficiently powerful, knowing, and judiciously +malicious, as with direct aforethought to stave in, utterly destroy, +and sink a large ship; and what is more, the Sperm Whale _has_ done it. + +First: In the year 1820 the ship Essex, Captain Pollard, of Nantucket, +was cruising in the Pacific Ocean. One day she saw spouts, lowered her +boats, and gave chase to a shoal of sperm whales. Ere long, several of +the whales were wounded; when, suddenly, a very large whale escaping +from the boats, issued from the shoal, and bore directly down upon the +ship. Dashing his forehead against her hull, he so stove her in, that +in less than ten minutes she settled down and fell over. Not a +surviving plank of her has been seen since. After the severest +exposure, part of the crew reached the land in their boats. Being +returned home at last, Captain Pollard once more sailed for the Pacific +in command of another ship, but the gods shipwrecked him again upon +unknown rocks and breakers; for the second time his ship was utterly +lost, and forthwith forswearing the sea, he has never tempted it since. +At this day Captain Pollard is a resident of Nantucket. I have seen +Owen Chace, who was chief mate of the Essex at the time of the tragedy; +I have read his plain and faithful narrative; I have conversed with his +son; and all this within a few miles of the scene of the catastrophe.* + +*The following are extracts from Chaces narrative: Every fact seemed +to warrant me in concluding that it was anything but chance which +directed his operations; he made two several attacks upon the ship, at +a short interval between them, both of which, according to their +direction, were calculated to do us the most injury, by being made +ahead, and thereby combining the speed of the two objects for the +shock; to effect which, the exact manuvres which he made were +necessary. His aspect was most horrible, and such as indicated +resentment and fury. He came directly from the shoal which we had just +before entered, and in which we had struck three of his companions, as +if fired with revenge for their sufferings. Again: At all events, the +whole circumstances taken together, all happening before my own eyes, +and producing, at the time, impressions in my mind of decided, +calculating mischief, on the part of the whale (many of which +impressions I cannot now recall), induce me to be satisfied that I am +correct in my opinion. + +Here are his reflections some time after quitting the ship, during a +black night in an open boat, when almost despairing of reaching any +hospitable shore. The dark ocean and swelling waters were nothing; the +fears of being swallowed up by some dreadful tempest, or dashed upon +hidden rocks, with all the other ordinary subjects of fearful +contemplation, seemed scarcely entitled to a moments thought; the +dismal looking wreck, and _the horrid aspect and revenge of the whale_, +wholly engrossed my reflections, until day again made its appearance. + +In another placep. 45,he speaks of _the mysterious and mortal attack +of the animal_. + +Secondly: The ship Union, also of Nantucket, was in the year 1807 +totally lost off the Azores by a similar onset, but the authentic +particulars of this catastrophe I have never chanced to encounter, +though from the whale hunters I have now and then heard casual +allusions to it. + +Thirdly: Some eighteen or twenty years ago Commodore J, then +commanding an American sloop-of-war of the first class, happened to be +dining with a party of whaling captains, on board a Nantucket ship in +the harbor of Oahu, Sandwich Islands. Conversation turning upon whales, +the Commodore was pleased to be sceptical touching the amazing strength +ascribed to them by the professional gentlemen present. He peremptorily +denied for example, that any whale could so smite his stout +sloop-of-war as to cause her to leak so much as a thimbleful. Very +good; but there is more coming. Some weeks after, the Commodore set +sail in this impregnable craft for Valparaiso. But he was stopped on +the way by a portly sperm whale, that begged a few moments +confidential business with him. That business consisted in fetching the +Commodores craft such a thwack, that with all his pumps going he made +straight for the nearest port to heave down and repair. I am not +superstitious, but I consider the Commodores interview with that whale +as providential. Was not Saul of Tarsus converted from unbelief by a +similar fright? I tell you, the sperm whale will stand no nonsense. + +I will now refer you to Langsdorffs Voyages for a little circumstance +in point, peculiarly interesting to the writer hereof. Langsdorff, you +must know by the way, was attached to the Russian Admiral Krusensterns +famous Discovery Expedition in the beginning of the present century. +Captain Langsdorff thus begins his seventeenth chapter: + +By the thirteenth of May our ship was ready to sail, and the next day +we were out in the open sea, on our way to Ochotsh. The weather was +very clear and fine, but so intolerably cold that we were obliged to +keep on our fur clothing. For some days we had very little wind; it was +not till the nineteenth that a brisk gale from the northwest sprang up. +An uncommon large whale, the body of which was larger than the ship +itself, lay almost at the surface of the water, but was not perceived +by any one on board till the moment when the ship, which was in full +sail, was almost upon him, so that it was impossible to prevent its +striking against him. We were thus placed in the most imminent danger, +as this gigantic creature, setting up its back, raised the ship three +feet at least out of the water. The masts reeled, and the sails fell +altogether, while we who were below all sprang instantly upon the deck, +concluding that we had struck upon some rock; instead of this we saw +the monster sailing off with the utmost gravity and solemnity. Captain +DWolf applied immediately to the pumps to examine whether or not the +vessel had received any damage from the shock, but we found that very +happily it had escaped entirely uninjured. + +Now, the Captain DWolf here alluded to as commanding the ship in +question, is a New Englander, who, after a long life of unusual +adventures as a sea-captain, this day resides in the village of +Dorchester near Boston. I have the honor of being a nephew of his. I +have particularly questioned him concerning this passage in Langsdorff. +He substantiates every word. The ship, however, was by no means a large +one: a Russian craft built on the Siberian coast, and purchased by my +uncle after bartering away the vessel in which he sailed from home. + +In that up and down manly book of old-fashioned adventure, so full, +too, of honest wondersthe voyage of Lionel Wafer, one of ancient +Dampiers old chumsI found a little matter set down so like that just +quoted from Langsdorff, that I cannot forbear inserting it here for a +corroborative example, if such be needed. + +Lionel, it seems, was on his way to John Ferdinando, as he calls the +modern Juan Fernandes. In our way thither, he says, about four +oclock in the morning, when we were about one hundred and fifty +leagues from the Main of America, our ship felt a terrible shock, which +put our men in such consternation that they could hardly tell where +they were or what to think; but every one began to prepare for death. +And, indeed, the shock was so sudden and violent, that we took it for +granted the ship had struck against a rock; but when the amazement was +a little over, we cast the lead, and sounded, but found no ground. * * +* * * The suddenness of the shock made the guns leap in their +carriages, and several of the men were shaken out of their hammocks. +Captain Davis, who lay with his head on a gun, was thrown out of his +cabin! Lionel then goes on to impute the shock to an earthquake, and +seems to substantiate the imputation by stating that a great +earthquake, somewhere about that time, did actually do great mischief +along the Spanish land. But I should not much wonder if, in the +darkness of that early hour of the morning, the shock was after all +caused by an unseen whale vertically bumping the hull from beneath. + +I might proceed with several more examples, one way or another known to +me, of the great power and malice at times of the sperm whale. In more +than one instance, he has been known, not only to chase the assailing +boats back to their ships, but to pursue the ship itself, and long +withstand all the lances hurled at him from its decks. The English ship +Pusie Hall can tell a story on that head; and, as for his strength, let +me say, that there have been examples where the lines attached to a +running sperm whale have, in a calm, been transferred to the ship, and +secured there; the whale towing her great hull through the water, as a +horse walks off with a cart. Again, it is very often observed that, if +the sperm whale, once struck, is allowed time to rally, he then acts, +not so often with blind rage, as with wilful, deliberate designs of +destruction to his pursuers; nor is it without conveying some eloquent +indication of his character, that upon being attacked he will +frequently open his mouth, and retain it in that dread expansion for +several consecutive minutes. But I must be content with only one more +and a concluding illustration; a remarkable and most significant one, +by which you will not fail to see, that not only is the most marvellous +event in this book corroborated by plain facts of the present day, but +that these marvels (like all marvels) are mere repetitions of the ages; +so that for the millionth time we say amen with SolomonVerily there is +nothing new under the sun. + +In the sixth Christian century lived Procopius, a Christian magistrate +of Constantinople, in the days when Justinian was Emperor and +Belisarius general. As many know, he wrote the history of his own +times, a work every way of uncommon value. By the best authorities, he +has always been considered a most trustworthy and unexaggerating +historian, except in some one or two particulars, not at all affecting +the matter presently to be mentioned. + +Now, in this history of his, Procopius mentions that, during the term +of his prefecture at Constantinople, a great sea-monster was captured +in the neighboring Propontis, or Sea of Marmora, after having destroyed +vessels at intervals in those waters for a period of more than fifty +years. A fact thus set down in substantial history cannot easily be +gainsaid. Nor is there any reason it should be. Of what precise species +this sea-monster was, is not mentioned. But as he destroyed ships, as +well as for other reasons, he must have been a whale; and I am strongly +inclined to think a sperm whale. And I will tell you why. For a long +time I fancied that the sperm whale had been always unknown in the +Mediterranean and the deep waters connecting with it. Even now I am +certain that those seas are not, and perhaps never can be, in the +present constitution of things, a place for his habitual gregarious +resort. But further investigations have recently proved to me, that in +modern times there have been isolated instances of the presence of the +sperm whale in the Mediterranean. I am told, on good authority, that on +the Barbary coast, a Commodore Davis of the British navy found the +skeleton of a sperm whale. Now, as a vessel of war readily passes +through the Dardanelles, hence a sperm whale could, by the same route, +pass out of the Mediterranean into the Propontis. + +In the Propontis, as far as I can learn, none of that peculiar +substance called _brit_ is to be found, the aliment of the right whale. +But I have every reason to believe that the food of the sperm +whalesquid or cuttle-fishlurks at the bottom of that sea, because +large creatures, but by no means the largest of that sort, have been +found at its surface. If, then, you properly put these statements +together, and reason upon them a bit, you will clearly perceive that, +according to all human reasoning, Procopiuss sea-monster, that for +half a century stove the ships of a Roman Emperor, must in all +probability have been a sperm whale. + + +CHAPTER 46. Surmises. + +Though, consumed with the hot fire of his purpose, Ahab in all his +thoughts and actions ever had in view the ultimate capture of Moby +Dick; though he seemed ready to sacrifice all mortal interests to that +one passion; nevertheless it may have been that he was by nature and +long habituation far too wedded to a fiery whalemans ways, altogether +to abandon the collateral prosecution of the voyage. Or at least if +this were otherwise, there were not wanting other motives much more +influential with him. It would be refining too much, perhaps, even +considering his monomania, to hint that his vindictiveness towards the +White Whale might have possibly extended itself in some degree to all +sperm whales, and that the more monsters he slew by so much the more he +multiplied the chances that each subsequently encountered whale would +prove to be the hated one he hunted. But if such an hypothesis be +indeed exceptionable, there were still additional considerations which, +though not so strictly according with the wildness of his ruling +passion, yet were by no means incapable of swaying him. + +To accomplish his object Ahab must use tools; and of all tools used in +the shadow of the moon, men are most apt to get out of order. He knew, +for example, that however magnetic his ascendency in some respects was +over Starbuck, yet that ascendency did not cover the complete spiritual +man any more than mere corporeal superiority involves intellectual +mastership; for to the purely spiritual, the intellectual but stand in +a sort of corporeal relation. Starbucks body and Starbucks coerced +will were Ahabs, so long as Ahab kept his magnet at Starbucks brain; +still he knew that for all this the chief mate, in his soul, abhorred +his captains quest, and could he, would joyfully disintegrate himself +from it, or even frustrate it. It might be that a long interval would +elapse ere the White Whale was seen. During that long interval Starbuck +would ever be apt to fall into open relapses of rebellion against his +captains leadership, unless some ordinary, prudential, circumstantial +influences were brought to bear upon him. Not only that, but the subtle +insanity of Ahab respecting Moby Dick was noways more significantly +manifested than in his superlative sense and shrewdness in foreseeing +that, for the present, the hunt should in some way be stripped of that +strange imaginative impiousness which naturally invested it; that the +full terror of the voyage must be kept withdrawn into the obscure +background (for few mens courage is proof against protracted +meditation unrelieved by action); that when they stood their long night +watches, his officers and men must have some nearer things to think of +than Moby Dick. For however eagerly and impetuously the savage crew had +hailed the announcement of his quest; yet all sailors of all sorts are +more or less capricious and unreliablethey live in the varying outer +weather, and they inhale its ficklenessand when retained for any +object remote and blank in the pursuit, however promissory of life and +passion in the end, it is above all things requisite that temporary +interests and employments should intervene and hold them healthily +suspended for the final dash. + +Nor was Ahab unmindful of another thing. In times of strong emotion +mankind disdain all base considerations; but such times are evanescent. +The permanent constitutional condition of the manufactured man, thought +Ahab, is sordidness. Granting that the White Whale fully incites the +hearts of this my savage crew, and playing round their savageness even +breeds a certain generous knight-errantism in them, still, while for +the love of it they give chase to Moby Dick, they must also have food +for their more common, daily appetites. For even the high lifted and +chivalric Crusaders of old times were not content to traverse two +thousand miles of land to fight for their holy sepulchre, without +committing burglaries, picking pockets, and gaining other pious +perquisites by the way. Had they been strictly held to their one final +and romantic objectthat final and romantic object, too many would have +turned from in disgust. I will not strip these men, thought Ahab, of +all hopes of cashaye, cash. They may scorn cash now; but let some +months go by, and no perspective promise of it to them, and then this +same quiescent cash all at once mutinying in them, this same cash would +soon cashier Ahab. + +Nor was there wanting still another precautionary motive more related +to Ahab personally. Having impulsively, it is probable, and perhaps +somewhat prematurely revealed the prime but private purpose of the +Pequods voyage, Ahab was now entirely conscious that, in so doing, he +had indirectly laid himself open to the unanswerable charge of +usurpation; and with perfect impunity, both moral and legal, his crew +if so disposed, and to that end competent, could refuse all further +obedience to him, and even violently wrest from him the command. From +even the barely hinted imputation of usurpation, and the possible +consequences of such a suppressed impression gaining ground, Ahab must +of course have been most anxious to protect himself. That protection +could only consist in his own predominating brain and heart and hand, +backed by a heedful, closely calculating attention to every minute +atmospheric influence which it was possible for his crew to be +subjected to. + +For all these reasons then, and others perhaps too analytic to be +verbally developed here, Ahab plainly saw that he must still in a good +degree continue true to the natural, nominal purpose of the Pequods +voyage; observe all customary usages; and not only that, but force +himself to evince all his well known passionate interest in the general +pursuit of his profession. + +Be all this as it may, his voice was now often heard hailing the three +mast-heads and admonishing them to keep a bright look-out, and not omit +reporting even a porpoise. This vigilance was not long without reward. + + +CHAPTER 47. The Mat-Maker. + +It was a cloudy, sultry afternoon; the seamen were lazily lounging +about the decks, or vacantly gazing over into the lead-coloured waters. +Queequeg and I were mildly employed weaving what is called a sword-mat, +for an additional lashing to our boat. So still and subdued and yet +somehow preluding was all the scene, and such an incantation of reverie +lurked in the air, that each silent sailor seemed resolved into his own +invisible self. + +I was the attendant or page of Queequeg, while busy at the mat. As I +kept passing and repassing the filling or woof of marline between the +long yarns of the warp, using my own hand for the shuttle, and as +Queequeg, standing sideways, ever and anon slid his heavy oaken sword +between the threads, and idly looking off upon the water, carelessly +and unthinkingly drove home every yarn: I say so strange a dreaminess +did there then reign all over the ship and all over the sea, only +broken by the intermitting dull sound of the sword, that it seemed as +if this were the Loom of Time, and I myself were a shuttle mechanically +weaving and weaving away at the Fates. There lay the fixed threads of +the warp subject to but one single, ever returning, unchanging +vibration, and that vibration merely enough to admit of the crosswise +interblending of other threads with its own. This warp seemed +necessity; and here, thought I, with my own hand I ply my own shuttle +and weave my own destiny into these unalterable threads. Meantime, +Queequegs impulsive, indifferent sword, sometimes hitting the woof +slantingly, or crookedly, or strongly, or weakly, as the case might be; +and by this difference in the concluding blow producing a corresponding +contrast in the final aspect of the completed fabric; this savages +sword, thought I, which thus finally shapes and fashions both warp and +woof; this easy, indifferent sword must be chanceaye, chance, free +will, and necessitynowise incompatibleall interweavingly working +together. The straight warp of necessity, not to be swerved from its +ultimate courseits every alternating vibration, indeed, only tending +to that; free will still free to ply her shuttle between given threads; +and chance, though restrained in its play within the right lines of +necessity, and sideways in its motions directed by free will, though +thus prescribed to by both, chance by turns rules either, and has the +last featuring blow at events. + +Thus we were weaving and weaving away when I started at a sound so +strange, long drawn, and musically wild and unearthly, that the ball of +free will dropped from my hand, and I stood gazing up at the clouds +whence that voice dropped like a wing. High aloft in the cross-trees +was that mad Gay-Header, Tashtego. His body was reaching eagerly +forward, his hand stretched out like a wand, and at brief sudden +intervals he continued his cries. To be sure the same sound was that +very moment perhaps being heard all over the seas, from hundreds of +whalemens look-outs perched as high in the air; but from few of those +lungs could that accustomed old cry have derived such a marvellous +cadence as from Tashtego the Indians. + +As he stood hovering over you half suspended in air, so wildly and +eagerly peering towards the horizon, you would have thought him some +prophet or seer beholding the shadows of Fate, and by those wild cries +announcing their coming. + +There she blows! there! there! there! she blows! she blows! + +Where-away? + +On the lee-beam, about two miles off! a school of them! + +Instantly all was commotion. + +The Sperm Whale blows as a clock ticks, with the same undeviating and +reliable uniformity. And thereby whalemen distinguish this fish from +other tribes of his genus. + +There go flukes! was now the cry from Tashtego; and the whales +disappeared. + +Quick, steward! cried Ahab. Time! time! + +Dough-Boy hurried below, glanced at the watch, and reported the exact +minute to Ahab. + +The ship was now kept away from the wind, and she went gently rolling +before it. Tashtego reporting that the whales had gone down heading to +leeward, we confidently looked to see them again directly in advance of +our bows. For that singular craft at times evinced by the Sperm Whale +when, sounding with his head in one direction, he nevertheless, while +concealed beneath the surface, mills round, and swiftly swims off in +the opposite quarterthis deceitfulness of his could not now be in +action; for there was no reason to suppose that the fish seen by +Tashtego had been in any way alarmed, or indeed knew at all of our +vicinity. One of the men selected for shipkeepersthat is, those not +appointed to the boats, by this time relieved the Indian at the +main-mast head. The sailors at the fore and mizzen had come down; the +line tubs were fixed in their places; the cranes were thrust out; the +mainyard was backed, and the three boats swung over the sea like three +samphire baskets over high cliffs. Outside of the bulwarks their eager +crews with one hand clung to the rail, while one foot was expectantly +poised on the gunwale. So look the long line of man-of-wars men about +to throw themselves on board an enemys ship. + +But at this critical instant a sudden exclamation was heard that took +every eye from the whale. With a start all glared at dark Ahab, who was +surrounded by five dusky phantoms that seemed fresh formed out of air. + + +CHAPTER 48. The First Lowering. + +The phantoms, for so they then seemed, were flitting on the other side +of the deck, and, with a noiseless celerity, were casting loose the +tackles and bands of the boat which swung there. This boat had always +been deemed one of the spare boats, though technically called the +captains, on account of its hanging from the starboard quarter. The +figure that now stood by its bows was tall and swart, with one white +tooth evilly protruding from its steel-like lips. A rumpled Chinese +jacket of black cotton funereally invested him, with wide black +trowsers of the same dark stuff. But strangely crowning this ebonness +was a glistening white plaited turban, the living hair braided and +coiled round and round upon his head. Less swart in aspect, the +companions of this figure were of that vivid, tiger-yellow complexion +peculiar to some of the aboriginal natives of the Manillas;a race +notorious for a certain diabolism of subtilty, and by some honest white +mariners supposed to be the paid spies and secret confidential agents +on the water of the devil, their lord, whose counting-room they suppose +to be elsewhere. + +While yet the wondering ships company were gazing upon these +strangers, Ahab cried out to the white-turbaned old man at their head, +All ready there, Fedallah? + +Ready, was the half-hissed reply. + +Lower away then; dye hear? shouting across the deck. Lower away +there, I say. + +Such was the thunder of his voice, that spite of their amazement the +men sprang over the rail; the sheaves whirled round in the blocks; with +a wallow, the three boats dropped into the sea; while, with a +dexterous, off-handed daring, unknown in any other vocation, the +sailors, goat-like, leaped down the rolling ships side into the tossed +boats below. + +Hardly had they pulled out from under the ships lee, when a fourth +keel, coming from the windward side, pulled round under the stern, and +showed the five strangers rowing Ahab, who, standing erect in the +stern, loudly hailed Starbuck, Stubb, and Flask, to spread themselves +widely, so as to cover a large expanse of water. But with all their +eyes again riveted upon the swart Fedallah and his crew, the inmates of +the other boats obeyed not the command. + +Captain Ahab? said Starbuck. + +Spread yourselves, cried Ahab; give way, all four boats. Thou, +Flask, pull out more to leeward! + +Aye, aye, sir, cheerily cried little King-Post, sweeping round his +great steering oar. Lay back! addressing his crew. +There!there!there again! There she blows right ahead, boys!lay +back! + +Never heed yonder yellow boys, Archy. + +Oh, I dont mind em, sir, said Archy; I knew it all before now. +Didnt I hear em in the hold? And didnt I tell Cabaco here of it? +What say ye, Cabaco? They are stowaways, Mr. Flask. + +Pull, pull, my fine hearts-alive; pull, my children; pull, my little +ones, drawlingly and soothingly sighed Stubb to his crew, some of whom +still showed signs of uneasiness. Why dont you break your backbones, +my boys? What is it you stare at? Those chaps in yonder boat? Tut! They +are only five more hands come to help usnever mind from wherethe more +the merrier. Pull, then, do pull; never mind the brimstonedevils are +good fellows enough. So, so; there you are now; thats the stroke for a +thousand pounds; thats the stroke to sweep the stakes! Hurrah for the +gold cup of sperm oil, my heroes! Three cheers, menall hearts alive! +Easy, easy; dont be in a hurrydont be in a hurry. Why dont you snap +your oars, you rascals? Bite something, you dogs! So, so, so, +then:softly, softly! Thats itthats it! long and strong. Give way +there, give way! The devil fetch ye, ye ragamuffin rapscallions; ye are +all asleep. Stop snoring, ye sleepers, and pull. Pull, will ye? pull, +cant ye? pull, wont ye? Why in the name of gudgeons and ginger-cakes +dont ye pull?pull and break something! pull, and start your eyes out! +Here! whipping out the sharp knife from his girdle; every mothers +son of ye draw his knife, and pull with the blade between his teeth. +Thats itthats it. Now ye do something; that looks like it, my +steel-bits. Start herstart her, my silver-spoons! Start her, +marling-spikes! + +Stubbs exordium to his crew is given here at large, because he had +rather a peculiar way of talking to them in general, and especially in +inculcating the religion of rowing. But you must not suppose from this +specimen of his sermonizings that he ever flew into downright passions +with his congregation. Not at all; and therein consisted his chief +peculiarity. He would say the most terrific things to his crew, in a +tone so strangely compounded of fun and fury, and the fury seemed so +calculated merely as a spice to the fun, that no oarsman could hear +such queer invocations without pulling for dear life, and yet pulling +for the mere joke of the thing. Besides he all the time looked so easy +and indolent himself, so loungingly managed his steering-oar, and so +broadly gapedopen-mouthed at timesthat the mere sight of such a +yawning commander, by sheer force of contrast, acted like a charm upon +the crew. Then again, Stubb was one of those odd sort of humorists, +whose jollity is sometimes so curiously ambiguous, as to put all +inferiors on their guard in the matter of obeying them. + +In obedience to a sign from Ahab, Starbuck was now pulling obliquely +across Stubbs bow; and when for a minute or so the two boats were +pretty near to each other, Stubb hailed the mate. + +Mr. Starbuck! larboard boat there, ahoy! a word with ye, sir, if ye +please! + +Halloa! returned Starbuck, turning round not a single inch as he +spoke; still earnestly but whisperingly urging his crew; his face set +like a flint from Stubbs. + +What think ye of those yellow boys, sir! + +Smuggled on board, somehow, before the ship sailed. (Strong, strong, +boys!) in a whisper to his crew, then speaking out loud again: A sad +business, Mr. Stubb! (seethe her, seethe her, my lads!) but never mind, +Mr. Stubb, all for the best. Let all your crew pull strong, come what +will. (Spring, my men, spring!) Theres hogsheads of sperm ahead, Mr. +Stubb, and thats what ye came for. (Pull, my boys!) Sperm, sperms the +play! This at least is duty; duty and profit hand in hand. + +Aye, aye, I thought as much, soliloquized Stubb, when the boats +diverged, as soon as I clapt eye on em, I thought so. Aye, and thats +what he went into the after hold for, so often, as Dough-Boy long +suspected. They were hidden down there. The White Whales at the bottom +of it. Well, well, so be it! Cant be helped! All right! Give way, men! +It aint the White Whale to-day! Give way! + +Now the advent of these outlandish strangers at such a critical instant +as the lowering of the boats from the deck, this had not unreasonably +awakened a sort of superstitious amazement in some of the ships +company; but Archys fancied discovery having some time previous got +abroad among them, though indeed not credited then, this had in some +small measure prepared them for the event. It took off the extreme edge +of their wonder; and so what with all this and Stubbs confident way of +accounting for their appearance, they were for the time freed from +superstitious surmisings; though the affair still left abundant room +for all manner of wild conjectures as to dark Ahabs precise agency in +the matter from the beginning. For me, I silently recalled the +mysterious shadows I had seen creeping on board the Pequod during the +dim Nantucket dawn, as well as the enigmatical hintings of the +unaccountable Elijah. + +Meantime, Ahab, out of hearing of his officers, having sided the +furthest to windward, was still ranging ahead of the other boats; a +circumstance bespeaking how potent a crew was pulling him. Those tiger +yellow creatures of his seemed all steel and whalebone; like five +trip-hammers they rose and fell with regular strokes of strength, which +periodically started the boat along the water like a horizontal burst +boiler out of a Mississippi steamer. As for Fedallah, who was seen +pulling the harpooneer oar, he had thrown aside his black jacket, and +displayed his naked chest with the whole part of his body above the +gunwale, clearly cut against the alternating depressions of the watery +horizon; while at the other end of the boat Ahab, with one arm, like a +fencers, thrown half backward into the air, as if to counterbalance +any tendency to trip; Ahab was seen steadily managing his steering oar +as in a thousand boat lowerings ere the White Whale had torn him. All +at once the outstretched arm gave a peculiar motion and then remained +fixed, while the boats five oars were seen simultaneously peaked. Boat +and crew sat motionless on the sea. Instantly the three spread boats in +the rear paused on their way. The whales had irregularly settled bodily +down into the blue, thus giving no distantly discernible token of the +movement, though from his closer vicinity Ahab had observed it. + +Every man look out along his oars! cried Starbuck. Thou, Queequeg, +stand up! + +Nimbly springing up on the triangular raised box in the bow, the savage +stood erect there, and with intensely eager eyes gazed off towards the +spot where the chase had last been descried. Likewise upon the extreme +stern of the boat where it was also triangularly platformed level with +the gunwale, Starbuck himself was seen coolly and adroitly balancing +himself to the jerking tossings of his chip of a craft, and silently +eyeing the vast blue eye of the sea. + +Not very far distant Flasks boat was also lying breathlessly still; +its commander recklessly standing upon the top of the loggerhead, a +stout sort of post rooted in the keel, and rising some two feet above +the level of the stern platform. It is used for catching turns with the +whale line. Its top is not more spacious than the palm of a mans hand, +and standing upon such a base as that, Flask seemed perched at the +mast-head of some ship which had sunk to all but her trucks. But little +King-Post was small and short, and at the same time little King-Post +was full of a large and tall ambition, so that this loggerhead +stand-point of his did by no means satisfy King-Post. + +I cant see three seas off; tip us up an oar there, and let me on to that. -Instead of speaking immediately, Caleb stood still and screwed his -stick on the grassy walk. Then he said, with emotion in his voice, -Well, Ive got a bit of news. What do you think of Fred going to live -at Stone Court, and managing the land there? +Upon this, Daggoo, with either hand upon the gunwale to steady his way, +swiftly slid aft, and then erecting himself volunteered his lofty +shoulders for a pedestal. -How can that ever be, father? said Mary, wonderingly. +Good a mast-head as any, sir. Will you mount? -He would manage it for his aunt Bulstrode. The poor woman has been to -me begging and praying. She wants to do the lad good, and it might be a -fine thing for him. With saving, he might gradually buy the stock, and -he has a turn for farming. +That I will, and thank ye very much, my fine fellow; only I wish you +fifty feet taller. -Oh, Fred would be so happy! It is too good to believe. +Whereupon planting his feet firmly against two opposite planks of the +boat, the gigantic negro, stooping a little, presented his flat palm to +Flasks foot, and then putting Flasks hand on his hearse-plumed head +and bidding him spring as he himself should toss, with one dexterous +fling landed the little man high and dry on his shoulders. And here was +Flask now standing, Daggoo with one lifted arm furnishing him with a +breastband to lean against and steady himself by. -Ah, but mind you, said Caleb, turning his head warningly, I must -take it on _my_ shoulders, and be responsible, and see after -everything; and that will grieve your mother a bit, though she maynt -say so. Fred had need be careful. +At any time it is a strange sight to the tyro to see with what wondrous +habitude of unconscious skill the whaleman will maintain an erect +posture in his boat, even when pitched about by the most riotously +perverse and cross-running seas. Still more strange to see him giddily +perched upon the loggerhead itself, under such circumstances. But the +sight of little Flask mounted upon gigantic Daggoo was yet more +curious; for sustaining himself with a cool, indifferent, easy, +unthought of, barbaric majesty, the noble negro to every roll of the +sea harmoniously rolled his fine form. On his broad back, flaxen-haired +Flask seemed a snow-flake. The bearer looked nobler than the rider. +Though truly vivacious, tumultuous, ostentatious little Flask would now +and then stamp with impatience; but not one added heave did he thereby +give to the negros lordly chest. So have I seen Passion and Vanity +stamping the living magnanimous earth, but the earth did not alter her +tides and her seasons for that. -Perhaps it is too much, father, said Mary, checked in her joy. There -would be no happiness in bringing you any fresh trouble. +Meanwhile Stubb, the third mate, betrayed no such far-gazing +solicitudes. The whales might have made one of their regular soundings, +not a temporary dive from mere fright; and if that were the case, +Stubb, as his wont in such cases, it seems, was resolved to solace the +languishing interval with his pipe. He withdrew it from his hatband, +where he always wore it aslant like a feather. He loaded it, and rammed +home the loading with his thumb-end; but hardly had he ignited his +match across the rough sandpaper of his hand, when Tashtego, his +harpooneer, whose eyes had been setting to windward like two fixed +stars, suddenly dropped like light from his erect attitude to his seat, +crying out in a quick phrensy of hurry, Down, down all, and give +way!there they are! -Nay, nay; work is my delight, child, when it doesnt vex your mother. -And then, if you and Fred get married, here Calebs voice shook just -perceptibly, hell be steady and saving; and youve got your mothers -cleverness, and mine too, in a womans sort of way; and youll keep him -in order. Hell be coming by-and-by, so I wanted to tell you first, -because I think youd like to tell _him_ by yourself. After that, I -could talk it well over with him, and we could go into business and the -nature of things. +To a landsman, no whale, nor any sign of a herring, would have been +visible at that moment; nothing but a troubled bit of greenish white +water, and thin scattered puffs of vapor hovering over it, and +suffusingly blowing off to leeward, like the confused scud from white +rolling billows. The air around suddenly vibrated and tingled, as it +were, like the air over intensely heated plates of iron. Beneath this +atmospheric waving and curling, and partially beneath a thin layer of +water, also, the whales were swimming. Seen in advance of all the other +indications, the puffs of vapor they spouted, seemed their forerunning +couriers and detached flying outriders. -Oh, you dear good father! cried Mary, putting her hands round her -fathers neck, while he bent his head placidly, willing to be caressed. -I wonder if any other girl thinks her father the best man in the -world! +All four boats were now in keen pursuit of that one spot of troubled +water and air. But it bade fair to outstrip them; it flew on and on, as +a mass of interblending bubbles borne down a rapid stream from the +hills. -Nonsense, child; youll think your husband better. +Pull, pull, my good boys, said Starbuck, in the lowest possible but +intensest concentrated whisper to his men; while the sharp fixed glance +from his eyes darted straight ahead of the bow, almost seemed as two +visible needles in two unerring binnacle compasses. He did not say much +to his crew, though, nor did his crew say anything to him. Only the +silence of the boat was at intervals startlingly pierced by one of his +peculiar whispers, now harsh with command, now soft with entreaty. -Impossible, said Mary, relapsing into her usual tone; husbands are -an inferior class of men, who require keeping in order. +How different the loud little King-Post. Sing out and say something, +my hearties. Roar and pull, my thunderbolts! Beach me, beach me on +their black backs, boys; only do that for me, and Ill sign over to you +my Marthas Vineyard plantation, boys; including wife and children, +boys. Lay me onlay me on! O Lord, Lord! but I shall go stark, staring +mad! See! see that white water! And so shouting, he pulled his hat +from his head, and stamped up and down on it; then picking it up, +flirted it far off upon the sea; and finally fell to rearing and +plunging in the boats stern like a crazed colt from the prairie. -When they were entering the house with Letty, who had run to join them, -Mary saw Fred at the orchard-gate, and went to meet him. +Look at that chap now, philosophically drawled Stubb, who, with his +unlighted short pipe, mechanically retained between his teeth, at a +short distance, followed afterHes got fits, that Flask has. Fits? +yes, give him fitsthats the very wordpitch fits into em. Merrily, +merrily, hearts-alive. Pudding for supper, you know;merrys the word. +Pull, babespull, sucklingspull, all. But what the devil are you +hurrying about? Softly, softly, and steadily, my men. Only pull, and +keep pulling; nothing more. Crack all your backbones, and bite your +knives in twothats all. Take it easywhy dont ye take it easy, I +say, and burst all your livers and lungs! -What fine clothes you wear, you extravagant youth! said Mary, as Fred -stood still and raised his hat to her with playful formality. You are -not learning economy. +But what it was that inscrutable Ahab said to that tiger-yellow crew of +histhese were words best omitted here; for you live under the blessed +light of the evangelical land. Only the infidel sharks in the audacious +seas may give ear to such words, when, with tornado brow, and eyes of +red murder, and foam-glued lips, Ahab leaped after his prey. -Now that is too bad, Mary, said Fred. Just look at the edges of -these coat-cuffs! It is only by dint of good brushing that I look -respectable. I am saving up three suitsone for a wedding-suit. +Meanwhile, all the boats tore on. The repeated specific allusions of +Flask to that whale, as he called the fictitious monster which he +declared to be incessantly tantalizing his boats bow with its +tailthese allusions of his were at times so vivid and life-like, that +they would cause some one or two of his men to snatch a fearful look +over the shoulder. But this was against all rule; for the oarsmen must +put out their eyes, and ram a skewer through their necks; usage +pronouncing that they must have no organs but ears, and no limbs but +arms, in these critical moments. -How very droll you will look!like a gentleman in an old -fashion-book. +It was a sight full of quick wonder and awe! The vast swells of the +omnipotent sea; the surging, hollow roar they made, as they rolled +along the eight gunwales, like gigantic bowls in a boundless +bowling-green; the brief suspended agony of the boat, as it would tip +for an instant on the knife-like edge of the sharper waves, that almost +seemed threatening to cut it in two; the sudden profound dip into the +watery glens and hollows; the keen spurrings and goadings to gain the +top of the opposite hill; the headlong, sled-like slide down its other +side;all these, with the cries of the headsmen and harpooneers, and +the shuddering gasps of the oarsmen, with the wondrous sight of the +ivory Pequod bearing down upon her boats with outstretched sails, like +a wild hen after her screaming brood;all this was thrilling. -Oh no, they will keep two years. +Not the raw recruit, marching from the bosom of his wife into the fever +heat of his first battle; not the dead mans ghost encountering the +first unknown phantom in the other world;neither of these can feel +stranger and stronger emotions than that man does, who for the first +time finds himself pulling into the charmed, churned circle of the +hunted sperm whale. -Two years! be reasonable, Fred, said Mary, turning to walk. Dont -encourage flattering expectations. +The dancing white water made by the chase was now becoming more and +more visible, owing to the increasing darkness of the dun cloud-shadows +flung upon the sea. The jets of vapor no longer blended, but tilted +everywhere to right and left; the whales seemed separating their wakes. +The boats were pulled more apart; Starbuck giving chase to three whales +running dead to leeward. Our sail was now set, and, with the still +rising wind, we rushed along; the boat going with such madness through +the water, that the lee oars could scarcely be worked rapidly enough to +escape being torn from the row-locks. -Why not? One lives on them better than on unflattering ones. If we -cant be married in two years, the truth will be quite bad enough when -it comes. +Soon we were running through a suffusing wide veil of mist; neither +ship nor boat to be seen. -I have heard a story of a young gentleman who once encouraged -flattering expectations, and they did him harm. +Give way, men, whispered Starbuck, drawing still further aft the +sheet of his sail; there is time to kill a fish yet before the squall +comes. Theres white water again!close to! Spring! -Mary, if youve got something discouraging to tell me, I shall bolt; I -shall go into the house to Mr. Garth. I am out of spirits. My father is -so cut uphome is not like itself. I cant bear any more bad news. +Soon after, two cries in quick succession on each side of us denoted +that the other boats had got fast; but hardly were they overheard, when +with a lightning-like hurtling whisper Starbuck said: Stand up! and +Queequeg, harpoon in hand, sprang to his feet. -Should you call it bad news to be told that you were to live at Stone -Court, and manage the farm, and be remarkably prudent, and save money -every year till all the stock and furniture were your own, and you were -a distinguished agricultural character, as Mr. Borthrop Trumbull -saysrather stout, I fear, and with the Greek and Latin sadly -weather-worn? +Though not one of the oarsmen was then facing the life and death peril +so close to them ahead, yet with their eyes on the intense countenance +of the mate in the stern of the boat, they knew that the imminent +instant had come; they heard, too, an enormous wallowing sound as of +fifty elephants stirring in their litter. Meanwhile the boat was still +booming through the mist, the waves curling and hissing around us like +the erected crests of enraged serpents. -You dont mean anything except nonsense, Mary? said Fred, coloring -slightly nevertheless. +Thats his hump. _There_, _there_, give it to him! whispered +Starbuck. -That is what my father has just told me of as what may happen, and he -never talks nonsense, said Mary, looking up at Fred now, while he -grasped her hand as they walked, till it rather hurt her; but she would -not complain. +A short rushing sound leaped out of the boat; it was the darted iron of +Queequeg. Then all in one welded commotion came an invisible push from +astern, while forward the boat seemed striking on a ledge; the sail +collapsed and exploded; a gush of scalding vapor shot up near by; +something rolled and tumbled like an earthquake beneath us. The whole +crew were half suffocated as they were tossed helter-skelter into the +white curdling cream of the squall. Squall, whale, and harpoon had all +blended together; and the whale, merely grazed by the iron, escaped. -Oh, I could be a tremendously good fellow then, Mary, and we could be -married directly. +Though completely swamped, the boat was nearly unharmed. Swimming round +it we picked up the floating oars, and lashing them across the gunwale, +tumbled back to our places. There we sat up to our knees in the sea, +the water covering every rib and plank, so that to our downward gazing +eyes the suspended craft seemed a coral boat grown up to us from the +bottom of the ocean. -Not so fast, sir; how do you know that I would not rather defer our -marriage for some years? That would leave you time to misbehave, and -then if I liked some one else better, I should have an excuse for -jilting you. +The wind increased to a howl; the waves dashed their bucklers together; +the whole squall roared, forked, and crackled around us like a white +fire upon the prairie, in which, unconsumed, we were burning; immortal +in these jaws of death! In vain we hailed the other boats; as well roar +to the live coals down the chimney of a flaming furnace as hail those +boats in that storm. Meanwhile the driving scud, rack, and mist, grew +darker with the shadows of night; no sign of the ship could be seen. +The rising sea forbade all attempts to bale out the boat. The oars were +useless as propellers, performing now the office of life-preservers. +So, cutting the lashing of the waterproof match keg, after many +failures Starbuck contrived to ignite the lamp in the lantern; then +stretching it on a waif pole, handed it to Queequeg as the +standard-bearer of this forlorn hope. There, then, he sat, holding up +that imbecile candle in the heart of that almighty forlornness. There, +then, he sat, the sign and symbol of a man without faith, hopelessly +holding up hope in the midst of despair. -Pray dont joke, Mary, said Fred, with strong feeling. Tell me -seriously that all this is true, and that you are happy because of -itbecause you love me best. +Wet, drenched through, and shivering cold, despairing of ship or boat, +we lifted up our eyes as the dawn came on. The mist still spread over +the sea, the empty lantern lay crushed in the bottom of the boat. +Suddenly Queequeg started to his feet, hollowing his hand to his ear. +We all heard a faint creaking, as of ropes and yards hitherto muffled +by the storm. The sound came nearer and nearer; the thick mists were +dimly parted by a huge, vague form. Affrighted, we all sprang into the +sea as the ship at last loomed into view, bearing right down upon us +within a distance of not much more than its length. -It is all true, Fred, and I am happy because of itbecause I love you -best, said Mary, in a tone of obedient recitation. +Floating on the waves we saw the abandoned boat, as for one instant it +tossed and gaped beneath the ships bows like a chip at the base of a +cataract; and then the vast hull rolled over it, and it was seen no +more till it came up weltering astern. Again we swam for it, were +dashed against it by the seas, and were at last taken up and safely +landed on board. Ere the squall came close to, the other boats had cut +loose from their fish and returned to the ship in good time. The ship +had given us up, but was still cruising, if haply it might light upon +some token of our perishing,an oar or a lance pole. -They lingered on the door-step under the steep-roofed porch, and Fred -almost in a whisper said -When we were first engaged, with the umbrella-ring, Mary, you used -to +CHAPTER 49. The Hyena. -The spirit of joy began to laugh more decidedly in Marys eyes, but the -fatal Ben came running to the door with Brownie yapping behind him, -and, bouncing against them, said +There are certain queer times and occasions in this strange mixed +affair we call life when a man takes this whole universe for a vast +practical joke, though the wit thereof he but dimly discerns, and more +than suspects that the joke is at nobodys expense but his own. +However, nothing dispirits, and nothing seems worth while disputing. He +bolts down all events, all creeds, and beliefs, and persuasions, all +hard things visible and invisible, never mind how knobby; as an ostrich +of potent digestion gobbles down bullets and gun flints. And as for +small difficulties and worryings, prospects of sudden disaster, peril +of life and limb; all these, and death itself, seem to him only sly, +good-natured hits, and jolly punches in the side bestowed by the unseen +and unaccountable old joker. That odd sort of wayward mood I am +speaking of, comes over a man only in some time of extreme tribulation; +it comes in the very midst of his earnestness, so that what just before +might have seemed to him a thing most momentous, now seems but a part +of the general joke. There is nothing like the perils of whaling to +breed this free and easy sort of genial, desperado philosophy; and with +it I now regarded this whole voyage of the Pequod, and the great White +Whale its object. -Fred and Mary! are you ever coming in?or may I eat your cake? +Queequeg, said I, when they had dragged me, the last man, to the +deck, and I was still shaking myself in my jacket to fling off the +water; Queequeg, my fine friend, does this sort of thing often +happen? Without much emotion, though soaked through just like me, he +gave me to understand that such things did often happen. + +Mr. Stubb, said I, turning to that worthy, who, buttoned up in his +oil-jacket, was now calmly smoking his pipe in the rain; Mr. Stubb, I +think I have heard you say that of all whalemen you ever met, our chief +mate, Mr. Starbuck, is by far the most careful and prudent. I suppose +then, that going plump on a flying whale with your sail set in a foggy +squall is the height of a whalemans discretion? + +Certain. Ive lowered for whales from a leaking ship in a gale off +Cape Horn. + +Mr. Flask, said I, turning to little King-Post, who was standing +close by; you are experienced in these things, and I am not. Will you +tell me whether it is an unalterable law in this fishery, Mr. Flask, +for an oarsman to break his own back pulling himself back-foremost into +deaths jaws? + +Cant you twist that smaller? said Flask. Yes, thats the law. I +should like to see a boats crew backing water up to a whale face +foremost. Ha, ha! the whale would give them squint for squint, mind +that! + +Here then, from three impartial witnesses, I had a deliberate statement +of the entire case. Considering, therefore, that squalls and capsizings +in the water and consequent bivouacks on the deep, were matters of +common occurrence in this kind of life; considering that at the +superlatively critical instant of going on to the whale I must resign +my life into the hands of him who steered the boatoftentimes a fellow +who at that very moment is in his impetuousness upon the point of +scuttling the craft with his own frantic stampings; considering that +the particular disaster to our own particular boat was chiefly to be +imputed to Starbucks driving on to his whale almost in the teeth of a +squall, and considering that Starbuck, notwithstanding, was famous for +his great heedfulness in the fishery; considering that I belonged to +this uncommonly prudent Starbucks boat; and finally considering in +what a devils chase I was implicated, touching the White Whale: taking +all things together, I say, I thought I might as well go below and make +a rough draft of my will. Queequeg, said I, come along, you shall be +my lawyer, executor, and legatee. + +It may seem strange that of all men sailors should be tinkering at +their last wills and testaments, but there are no people in the world +more fond of that diversion. This was the fourth time in my nautical +life that I had done the same thing. After the ceremony was concluded +upon the present occasion, I felt all the easier; a stone was rolled +away from my heart. Besides, all the days I should now live would be as +good as the days that Lazarus lived after his resurrection; a +supplementary clean gain of so many months or weeks as the case might +be. I survived myself; my death and burial were locked up in my chest. +I looked round me tranquilly and contentedly, like a quiet ghost with a +clean conscience sitting inside the bars of a snug family vault. + +Now then, thought I, unconsciously rolling up the sleeves of my frock, +here goes for a cool, collected dive at death and destruction, and the +devil fetch the hindmost. + + +CHAPTER 50. Ahabs Boat and Crew. Fedallah. + +Who would have thought it, Flask! cried Stubb; if I had but one leg +you would not catch me in a boat, unless maybe to stop the plug-hole +with my timber toe. Oh! hes a wonderful old man! + +I dont think it so strange, after all, on that account, said Flask. +If his leg were off at the hip, now, it would be a different thing. +That would disable him; but he has one knee, and good part of the other +left, you know. + +I dont know that, my little man; I never yet saw him kneel. + +Among whale-wise people it has often been argued whether, considering +the paramount importance of his life to the success of the voyage, it +is right for a whaling captain to jeopardize that life in the active +perils of the chase. So Tamerlanes soldiers often argued with tears in +their eyes, whether that invaluable life of his ought to be carried +into the thickest of the fight. + +But with Ahab the question assumed a modified aspect. Considering that +with two legs man is but a hobbling wight in all times of danger; +considering that the pursuit of whales is always under great and +extraordinary difficulties; that every individual moment, indeed, then +comprises a peril; under these circumstances is it wise for any maimed +man to enter a whale-boat in the hunt? As a general thing, the +joint-owners of the Pequod must have plainly thought not. + +Ahab well knew that although his friends at home would think little of +his entering a boat in certain comparatively harmless vicissitudes of +the chase, for the sake of being near the scene of action and giving +his orders in person, yet for Captain Ahab to have a boat actually +apportioned to him as a regular headsman in the huntabove all for +Captain Ahab to be supplied with five extra men, as that same boats +crew, he well knew that such generous conceits never entered the heads +of the owners of the Pequod. Therefore he had not solicited a boats +crew from them, nor had he in any way hinted his desires on that head. +Nevertheless he had taken private measures of his own touching all that +matter. Until Cabacos published discovery, the sailors had little +foreseen it, though to be sure when, after being a little while out of +port, all hands had concluded the customary business of fitting the +whaleboats for service; when some time after this Ahab was now and then +found bestirring himself in the matter of making thole-pins with his +own hands for what was thought to be one of the spare boats, and even +solicitously cutting the small wooden skewers, which when the line is +running out are pinned over the groove in the bow: when all this was +observed in him, and particularly his solicitude in having an extra +coat of sheathing in the bottom of the boat, as if to make it better +withstand the pointed pressure of his ivory limb; and also the anxiety +he evinced in exactly shaping the thigh board, or clumsy cleat, as it +is sometimes called, the horizontal piece in the boats bow for bracing +the knee against in darting or stabbing at the whale; when it was +observed how often he stood up in that boat with his solitary knee +fixed in the semi-circular depression in the cleat, and with the +carpenters chisel gouged out a little here and straightened it a +little there; all these things, I say, had awakened much interest and +curiosity at the time. But almost everybody supposed that this +particular preparative heedfulness in Ahab must only be with a view to +the ultimate chase of Moby Dick; for he had already revealed his +intention to hunt that mortal monster in person. But such a supposition +did by no means involve the remotest suspicion as to any boats crew +being assigned to that boat. + +Now, with the subordinate phantoms, what wonder remained soon waned +away; for in a whaler wonders soon wane. Besides, now and then such +unaccountable odds and ends of strange nations come up from the unknown +nooks and ash-holes of the earth to man these floating outlaws of +whalers; and the ships themselves often pick up such queer castaway +creatures found tossing about the open sea on planks, bits of wreck, +oars, whaleboats, canoes, blown-off Japanese junks, and what not; that +Beelzebub himself might climb up the side and step down into the cabin +to chat with the captain, and it would not create any unsubduable +excitement in the forecastle. + +But be all this as it may, certain it is that while the subordinate +phantoms soon found their place among the crew, though still as it were +somehow distinct from them, yet that hair-turbaned Fedallah remained a +muffled mystery to the last. Whence he came in a mannerly world like +this, by what sort of unaccountable tie he soon evinced himself to be +linked with Ahabs peculiar fortunes; nay, so far as to have some sort +of a half-hinted influence; Heaven knows, but it might have been even +authority over him; all this none knew. But one cannot sustain an +indifferent air concerning Fedallah. He was such a creature as +civilized, domestic people in the temperate zone only see in their +dreams, and that but dimly; but the like of whom now and then glide +among the unchanging Asiatic communities, especially the Oriental isles +to the east of the continentthose insulated, immemorial, unalterable +countries, which even in these modern days still preserve much of the +ghostly aboriginalness of earths primal generations, when the memory +of the first man was a distinct recollection, and all men his +descendants, unknowing whence he came, eyed each other as real +phantoms, and asked of the sun and the moon why they were created and +to what end; when though, according to Genesis, the angels indeed +consorted with the daughters of men, the devils also, add the +uncanonical Rabbins, indulged in mundane amours. + + +CHAPTER 51. The Spirit-Spout. + +Days, weeks passed, and under easy sail, the ivory Pequod had slowly +swept across four several cruising-grounds; that off the Azores; off +the Cape de Verdes; on the Plate (so called), being off the mouth of +the Rio de la Plata; and the Carrol Ground, an unstaked, watery +locality, southerly from St. Helena. + +It was while gliding through these latter waters that one serene and +moonlight night, when all the waves rolled by like scrolls of silver; +and, by their soft, suffusing seethings, made what seemed a silvery +silence, not a solitude; on such a silent night a silvery jet was seen +far in advance of the white bubbles at the bow. Lit up by the moon, it +looked celestial; seemed some plumed and glittering god uprising from +the sea. Fedallah first descried this jet. For of these moonlight +nights, it was his wont to mount to the main-mast head, and stand a +look-out there, with the same precision as if it had been day. And yet, +though herds of whales were seen by night, not one whaleman in a +hundred would venture a lowering for them. You may think with what +emotions, then, the seamen beheld this old Oriental perched aloft at +such unusual hours; his turban and the moon, companions in one sky. But +when, after spending his uniform interval there for several successive +nights without uttering a single sound; when, after all this silence, +his unearthly voice was heard announcing that silvery, moon-lit jet, +every reclining mariner started to his feet as if some winged spirit +had lighted in the rigging, and hailed the mortal crew. There she +blows! Had the trump of judgment blown, they could not have quivered +more; yet still they felt no terror; rather pleasure. For though it was +a most unwonted hour, yet so impressive was the cry, and so deliriously +exciting, that almost every soul on board instinctively desired a +lowering. + +Walking the deck with quick, side-lunging strides, Ahab commanded the +tgallant sails and royals to be set, and every stunsail spread. The +best man in the ship must take the helm. Then, with every mast-head +manned, the piled-up craft rolled down before the wind. The strange, +upheaving, lifting tendency of the taffrail breeze filling the hollows +of so many sails, made the buoyant, hovering deck to feel like air +beneath the feet; while still she rushed along, as if two antagonistic +influences were struggling in herone to mount direct to heaven, the +other to drive yawingly to some horizontal goal. And had you watched +Ahabs face that night, you would have thought that in him also two +different things were warring. While his one live leg made lively +echoes along the deck, every stroke of his dead limb sounded like a +coffin-tap. On life and death this old man walked. But though the ship +so swiftly sped, and though from every eye, like arrows, the eager +glances shot, yet the silvery jet was no more seen that night. Every +sailor swore he saw it once, but not a second time. + +This midnight-spout had almost grown a forgotten thing, when, some days +after, lo! at the same silent hour, it was again announced: again it +was descried by all; but upon making sail to overtake it, once more it +disappeared as if it had never been. And so it served us night after +night, till no one heeded it but to wonder at it. Mysteriously jetted +into the clear moonlight, or starlight, as the case might be; +disappearing again for one whole day, or two days, or three; and +somehow seeming at every distinct repetition to be advancing still +further and further in our van, this solitary jet seemed for ever +alluring us on. + +Nor with the immemorial superstition of their race, and in accordance +with the preternaturalness, as it seemed, which in many things invested +the Pequod, were there wanting some of the seamen who swore that +whenever and wherever descried; at however remote times, or in however +far apart latitudes and longitudes, that unnearable spout was cast by +one self-same whale; and that whale, Moby Dick. For a time, there +reigned, too, a sense of peculiar dread at this flitting apparition, as +if it were treacherously beckoning us on and on, in order that the +monster might turn round upon us, and rend us at last in the remotest +and most savage seas. + +These temporary apprehensions, so vague but so awful, derived a +wondrous potency from the contrasting serenity of the weather, in +which, beneath all its blue blandness, some thought there lurked a +devilish charm, as for days and days we voyaged along, through seas so +wearily, lonesomely mild, that all space, in repugnance to our vengeful +errand, seemed vacating itself of life before our urn-like prow. + +But, at last, when turning to the eastward, the Cape winds began +howling around us, and we rose and fell upon the long, troubled seas +that are there; when the ivory-tusked Pequod sharply bowed to the +blast, and gored the dark waves in her madness, till, like showers of +silver chips, the foam-flakes flew over her bulwarks; then all this +desolate vacuity of life went away, but gave place to sights more +dismal than before. + +Close to our bows, strange forms in the water darted hither and thither +before us; while thick in our rear flew the inscrutable sea-ravens. And +every morning, perched on our stays, rows of these birds were seen; and +spite of our hootings, for a long time obstinately clung to the hemp, +as though they deemed our ship some drifting, uninhabited craft; a +thing appointed to desolation, and therefore fit roosting-place for +their homeless selves. And heaved and heaved, still unrestingly heaved +the black sea, as if its vast tides were a conscience; and the great +mundane soul were in anguish and remorse for the long sin and suffering +it had bred. + +Cape of Good Hope, do they call ye? Rather Cape Tormentoso, as called +of yore; for long allured by the perfidious silences that before had +attended us, we found ourselves launched into this tormented sea, where +guilty beings transformed into those fowls and these fish, seemed +condemned to swim on everlastingly without any haven in store, or beat +that black air without any horizon. But calm, snow-white, and +unvarying; still directing its fountain of feathers to the sky; still +beckoning us on from before, the solitary jet would at times be +descried. + +During all this blackness of the elements, Ahab, though assuming for +the time the almost continual command of the drenched and dangerous +deck, manifested the gloomiest reserve; and more seldom than ever +addressed his mates. In tempestuous times like these, after everything +above and aloft has been secured, nothing more can be done but +passively to await the issue of the gale. Then Captain and crew become +practical fatalists. So, with his ivory leg inserted into its +accustomed hole, and with one hand firmly grasping a shroud, Ahab for +hours and hours would stand gazing dead to windward, while an +occasional squall of sleet or snow would all but congeal his very +eyelashes together. Meantime, the crew driven from the forward part of +the ship by the perilous seas that burstingly broke over its bows, +stood in a line along the bulwarks in the waist; and the better to +guard against the leaping waves, each man had slipped himself into a +sort of bowline secured to the rail, in which he swung as in a loosened +belt. Few or no words were spoken; and the silent ship, as if manned by +painted sailors in wax, day after day tore on through all the swift +madness and gladness of the demoniac waves. By night the same muteness +of humanity before the shrieks of the ocean prevailed; still in silence +the men swung in the bowlines; still wordless Ahab stood up to the +blast. Even when wearied nature seemed demanding repose he would not +seek that repose in his hammock. Never could Starbuck forget the old +mans aspect, when one night going down into the cabin to mark how the +barometer stood, he saw him with closed eyes sitting straight in his +floor-screwed chair; the rain and half-melted sleet of the storm from +which he had some time before emerged, still slowly dripping from the +unremoved hat and coat. On the table beside him lay unrolled one of +those charts of tides and currents which have previously been spoken +of. His lantern swung from his tightly clenched hand. Though the body +was erect, the head was thrown back so that the closed eyes were +pointed towards the needle of the tell-tale that swung from a beam in +the ceiling.* + +*The cabin-compass is called the tell-tale, because without going to +the compass at the helm, the Captain, while below, can inform himself +of the course of the ship. + +Terrible old man! thought Starbuck with a shudder, sleeping in this +gale, still thou steadfastly eyest thy purpose. + + +CHAPTER 52. The Albatross. + +South-eastward from the Cape, off the distant Crozetts, a good cruising +ground for Right Whalemen, a sail loomed ahead, the Goney (Albatross) +by name. As she slowly drew nigh, from my lofty perch at the +fore-mast-head, I had a good view of that sight so remarkable to a tyro +in the far ocean fisheriesa whaler at sea, and long absent from home. + +As if the waves had been fullers, this craft was bleached like the +skeleton of a stranded walrus. All down her sides, this spectral +appearance was traced with long channels of reddened rust, while all +her spars and her rigging were like the thick branches of trees furred +over with hoar-frost. Only her lower sails were set. A wild sight it +was to see her long-bearded look-outs at those three mast-heads. They +seemed clad in the skins of beasts, so torn and bepatched the raiment +that had survived nearly four years of cruising. Standing in iron hoops +nailed to the mast, they swayed and swung over a fathomless sea; and +though, when the ship slowly glided close under our stern, we six men +in the air came so nigh to each other that we might almost have leaped +from the mast-heads of one ship to those of the other; yet, those +forlorn-looking fishermen, mildly eyeing us as they passed, said not +one word to our own look-outs, while the quarter-deck hail was being +heard from below. + +Ship ahoy! Have ye seen the White Whale? + +But as the strange captain, leaning over the pallid bulwarks, was in +the act of putting his trumpet to his mouth, it somehow fell from his +hand into the sea; and the wind now rising amain, he in vain strove to +make himself heard without it. Meantime his ship was still increasing +the distance between. While in various silent ways the seamen of the +Pequod were evincing their observance of this ominous incident at the +first mere mention of the White Whales name to another ship, Ahab for +a moment paused; it almost seemed as though he would have lowered a +boat to board the stranger, had not the threatening wind forbade. But +taking advantage of his windward position, he again seized his trumpet, +and knowing by her aspect that the stranger vessel was a Nantucketer +and shortly bound home, he loudly hailedAhoy there! This is the +Pequod, bound round the world! Tell them to address all future letters +to the Pacific ocean! and this time three years, if I am not at home, +tell them to address them to + +At that moment the two wakes were fairly crossed, and instantly, then, +in accordance with their singular ways, shoals of small harmless fish, +that for some days before had been placidly swimming by our side, +darted away with what seemed shuddering fins, and ranged themselves +fore and aft with the strangers flanks. Though in the course of his +continual voyagings Ahab must often before have noticed a similar +sight, yet, to any monomaniac man, the veriest trifles capriciously +carry meanings. + +Swim away from me, do ye? murmured Ahab, gazing over into the water. +There seemed but little in the words, but the tone conveyed more of +deep helpless sadness than the insane old man had ever before evinced. +But turning to the steersman, who thus far had been holding the ship in +the wind to diminish her headway, he cried out in his old lion +voice,Up helm! Keep her off round the world! + +Round the world! There is much in that sound to inspire proud feelings; +but whereto does all that circumnavigation conduct? Only through +numberless perils to the very point whence we started, where those that +we left behind secure, were all the time before us. + +Were this world an endless plain, and by sailing eastward we could for +ever reach new distances, and discover sights more sweet and strange +than any Cyclades or Islands of King Solomon, then there were promise +in the voyage. But in pursuit of those far mysteries we dream of, or in +tormented chase of that demon phantom that, some time or other, swims +before all human hearts; while chasing such over this round globe, they +either lead us on in barren mazes or midway leave us whelmed. + + +CHAPTER 53. The Gam. + +The ostensible reason why Ahab did not go on board of the whaler we had +spoken was this: the wind and sea betokened storms. But even had this +not been the case, he would not after all, perhaps, have boarded +herjudging by his subsequent conduct on similar occasionsif so it had +been that, by the process of hailing, he had obtained a negative answer +to the question he put. For, as it eventually turned out, he cared not +to consort, even for five minutes, with any stranger captain, except he +could contribute some of that information he so absorbingly sought. But +all this might remain inadequately estimated, were not something said +here of the peculiar usages of whaling-vessels when meeting each other +in foreign seas, and especially on a common cruising-ground. + +If two strangers crossing the Pine Barrens in New York State, or the +equally desolate Salisbury Plain in England; if casually encountering +each other in such inhospitable wilds, these twain, for the life of +them, cannot well avoid a mutual salutation; and stopping for a moment +to interchange the news; and, perhaps, sitting down for a while and +resting in concert: then, how much more natural that upon the +illimitable Pine Barrens and Salisbury Plains of the sea, two whaling +vessels descrying each other at the ends of the earthoff lone +Fannings Island, or the far away Kings Mills; how much more natural, +I say, that under such circumstances these ships should not only +interchange hails, but come into still closer, more friendly and +sociable contact. And especially would this seem to be a matter of +course, in the case of vessels owned in one seaport, and whose +captains, officers, and not a few of the men are personally known to +each other; and consequently, have all sorts of dear domestic things to +talk about. + +For the long absent ship, the outward-bounder, perhaps, has letters on +board; at any rate, she will be sure to let her have some papers of a +date a year or two later than the last one on her blurred and +thumb-worn files. And in return for that courtesy, the outward-bound +ship would receive the latest whaling intelligence from the +cruising-ground to which she may be destined, a thing of the utmost +importance to her. And in degree, all this will hold true concerning +whaling vessels crossing each others track on the cruising-ground +itself, even though they are equally long absent from home. For one of +them may have received a transfer of letters from some third, and now +far remote vessel; and some of those letters may be for the people of +the ship she now meets. Besides, they would exchange the whaling news, +and have an agreeable chat. For not only would they meet with all the +sympathies of sailors, but likewise with all the peculiar +congenialities arising from a common pursuit and mutually shared +privations and perils. + +Nor would difference of country make any very essential difference; +that is, so long as both parties speak one language, as is the case +with Americans and English. Though, to be sure, from the small number +of English whalers, such meetings do not very often occur, and when +they do occur there is too apt to be a sort of shyness between them; +for your Englishman is rather reserved, and your Yankee, he does not +fancy that sort of thing in anybody but himself. Besides, the English +whalers sometimes affect a kind of metropolitan superiority over the +American whalers; regarding the long, lean Nantucketer, with his +nondescript provincialisms, as a sort of sea-peasant. But where this +superiority in the English whalemen does really consist, it would be +hard to say, seeing that the Yankees in one day, collectively, kill +more whales than all the English, collectively, in ten years. But this +is a harmless little foible in the English whale-hunters, which the +Nantucketer does not take much to heart; probably, because he knows +that he has a few foibles himself. + +So, then, we see that of all ships separately sailing the sea, the +whalers have most reason to be sociableand they are so. Whereas, some +merchant ships crossing each others wake in the mid-Atlantic, will +oftentimes pass on without so much as a single word of recognition, +mutually cutting each other on the high seas, like a brace of dandies +in Broadway; and all the time indulging, perhaps, in finical criticism +upon each others rig. As for Men-of-War, when they chance to meet at +sea, they first go through such a string of silly bowings and +scrapings, such a ducking of ensigns, that there does not seem to be +much right-down hearty good-will and brotherly love about it at all. As +touching Slave-ships meeting, why, they are in such a prodigious hurry, +they run away from each other as soon as possible. And as for Pirates, +when they chance to cross each others cross-bones, the first hail +isHow many skulls?the same way that whalers hailHow many +barrels? And that question once answered, pirates straightway steer +apart, for they are infernal villains on both sides, and dont like to +see overmuch of each others villanous likenesses. + +But look at the godly, honest, unostentatious, hospitable, sociable, +free-and-easy whaler! What does the whaler do when she meets another +whaler in any sort of decent weather? She has a _Gam_, a thing so +utterly unknown to all other ships that they never heard of the name +even; and if by chance they should hear of it, they only grin at it, +and repeat gamesome stuff about spouters and blubber-boilers, and +such like pretty exclamations. Why it is that all Merchant-seamen, and +also all Pirates and Man-of-Wars men, and Slave-ship sailors, cherish +such a scornful feeling towards Whale-ships; this is a question it +would be hard to answer. Because, in the case of pirates, say, I should +like to know whether that profession of theirs has any peculiar glory +about it. It sometimes ends in uncommon elevation, indeed; but only at +the gallows. And besides, when a man is elevated in that odd fashion, +he has no proper foundation for his superior altitude. Hence, I +conclude, that in boasting himself to be high lifted above a whaleman, +in that assertion the pirate has no solid basis to stand on. + +But what is a _Gam?_ You might wear out your index-finger running up +and down the columns of dictionaries, and never find the word. Dr. +Johnson never attained to that erudition; Noah Websters ark does not +hold it. Nevertheless, this same expressive word has now for many years +been in constant use among some fifteen thousand true born Yankees. +Certainly, it needs a definition, and should be incorporated into the +Lexicon. With that view, let me learnedly define it. + +GAM. NOUN_A social meeting of two_ (_or more_) _Whaleships, generally +on a cruising-ground; when, after exchanging hails, they exchange +visits by boats crews: the two captains remaining, for the time, on +board of one ship, and the two chief mates on the other._ + +There is another little item about Gamming which must not be forgotten +here. All professions have their own little peculiarities of detail; so +has the whale fishery. In a pirate, man-of-war, or slave ship, when the +captain is rowed anywhere in his boat, he always sits in the stern +sheets on a comfortable, sometimes cushioned seat there, and often +steers himself with a pretty little milliners tiller decorated with +gay cords and ribbons. But the whale-boat has no seat astern, no sofa +of that sort whatever, and no tiller at all. High times indeed, if +whaling captains were wheeled about the water on castors like gouty old +aldermen in patent chairs. And as for a tiller, the whale-boat never +admits of any such effeminacy; and therefore as in gamming a complete +boats crew must leave the ship, and hence as the boat steerer or +harpooneer is of the number, that subordinate is the steersman upon the +occasion, and the captain, having no place to sit in, is pulled off to +his visit all standing like a pine tree. And often you will notice that +being conscious of the eyes of the whole visible world resting on him +from the sides of the two ships, this standing captain is all alive to +the importance of sustaining his dignity by maintaining his legs. Nor +is this any very easy matter; for in his rear is the immense projecting +steering oar hitting him now and then in the small of his back, the +after-oar reciprocating by rapping his knees in front. He is thus +completely wedged before and behind, and can only expand himself +sideways by settling down on his stretched legs; but a sudden, violent +pitch of the boat will often go far to topple him, because length of +foundation is nothing without corresponding breadth. Merely make a +spread angle of two poles, and you cannot stand them up. Then, again, +it would never do in plain sight of the worlds riveted eyes, it would +never do, I say, for this straddling captain to be seen steadying +himself the slightest particle by catching hold of anything with his +hands; indeed, as token of his entire, buoyant self-command, he +generally carries his hands in his trowsers pockets; but perhaps being +generally very large, heavy hands, he carries them there for ballast. +Nevertheless there have occurred instances, well authenticated ones +too, where the captain has been known for an uncommonly critical moment +or two, in a sudden squall sayto seize hold of the nearest oarsmans +hair, and hold on there like grim death. + + +CHAPTER 54. The Town-Hos Story. + +(_As told at the Golden Inn._) + +The Cape of Good Hope, and all the watery region round about there, is +much like some noted four corners of a great highway, where you meet +more travellers than in any other part. + +It was not very long after speaking the Goney that another +homeward-bound whaleman, the Town-Ho,* was encountered. She was manned +almost wholly by Polynesians. In the short gam that ensued she gave us +strong news of Moby Dick. To some the general interest in the White +Whale was now wildly heightened by a circumstance of the Town-Hos +story, which seemed obscurely to involve with the whale a certain +wondrous, inverted visitation of one of those so called judgments of +God which at times are said to overtake some men. This latter +circumstance, with its own particular accompaniments, forming what may +be called the secret part of the tragedy about to be narrated, never +reached the ears of Captain Ahab or his mates. For that secret part of +the story was unknown to the captain of the Town-Ho himself. It was the +private property of three confederate white seamen of that ship, one of +whom, it seems, communicated it to Tashtego with Romish injunctions of +secrecy, but the following night Tashtego rambled in his sleep, and +revealed so much of it in that way, that when he was wakened he could +not well withhold the rest. Nevertheless, so potent an influence did +this thing have on those seamen in the Pequod who came to the full +knowledge of it, and by such a strange delicacy, to call it so, were +they governed in this matter, that they kept the secret among +themselves so that it never transpired abaft the Pequods main-mast. +Interweaving in its proper place this darker thread with the story as +publicly narrated on the ship, the whole of this strange affair I now +proceed to put on lasting record. + +*The ancient whale-cry upon first sighting a whale from the mast-head, +still used by whalemen in hunting the famous Gallipagos terrapin. + +For my humors sake, I shall preserve the style in which I once +narrated it at Lima, to a lounging circle of my Spanish friends, one +saints eve, smoking upon the thick-gilt tiled piazza of the Golden +Inn. Of those fine cavaliers, the young Dons, Pedro and Sebastian, were +on the closer terms with me; and hence the interluding questions they +occasionally put, and which are duly answered at the time. + +Some two years prior to my first learning the events which I am about +rehearsing to you, gentlemen, the Town-Ho, Sperm Whaler of Nantucket, +was cruising in your Pacific here, not very many days sail eastward +from the eaves of this good Golden Inn. She was somewhere to the +northward of the Line. One morning upon handling the pumps, according +to daily usage, it was observed that she made more water in her hold +than common. They supposed a sword-fish had stabbed her, gentlemen. But +the captain, having some unusual reason for believing that rare good +luck awaited him in those latitudes; and therefore being very averse to +quit them, and the leak not being then considered at all dangerous, +though, indeed, they could not find it after searching the hold as low +down as was possible in rather heavy weather, the ship still continued +her cruisings, the mariners working at the pumps at wide and easy +intervals; but no good luck came; more days went by, and not only was +the leak yet undiscovered, but it sensibly increased. So much so, that +now taking some alarm, the captain, making all sail, stood away for the +nearest harbor among the islands, there to have his hull hove out and +repaired. + +Though no small passage was before her, yet, if the commonest chance +favoured, he did not at all fear that his ship would founder by the +way, because his pumps were of the best, and being periodically +relieved at them, those six-and-thirty men of his could easily keep the +ship free; never mind if the leak should double on her. In truth, well +nigh the whole of this passage being attended by very prosperous +breezes, the Town-Ho had all but certainly arrived in perfect safety at +her port without the occurrence of the least fatality, had it not been +for the brutal overbearing of Radney, the mate, a Vineyarder, and the +bitterly provoked vengeance of Steelkilt, a Lakeman and desperado from +Buffalo. + +Lakeman!Buffalo! Pray, what is a Lakeman, and where is Buffalo? +said Don Sebastian, rising in his swinging mat of grass. + +On the eastern shore of our Lake Erie, Don; butI crave your +courtesymay be, you shall soon hear further of all that. Now, +gentlemen, in square-sail brigs and three-masted ships, well-nigh as +large and stout as any that ever sailed out of your old Callao to far +Manilla; this Lakeman, in the land-locked heart of our America, had yet +been nurtured by all those agrarian freebooting impressions popularly +connected with the open ocean. For in their interflowing aggregate, +those grand fresh-water seas of ours,Erie, and Ontario, and Huron, and +Superior, and Michigan,possess an ocean-like expansiveness, with many +of the oceans noblest traits; with many of its rimmed varieties of +races and of climes. They contain round archipelagoes of romantic +isles, even as the Polynesian waters do; in large part, are shored by +two great contrasting nations, as the Atlantic is; they furnish long +maritime approaches to our numerous territorial colonies from the East, +dotted all round their banks; here and there are frowned upon by +batteries, and by the goat-like craggy guns of lofty Mackinaw; they +have heard the fleet thunderings of naval victories; at intervals, they +yield their beaches to wild barbarians, whose red painted faces flash +from out their peltry wigwams; for leagues and leagues are flanked by +ancient and unentered forests, where the gaunt pines stand like serried +lines of kings in Gothic genealogies; those same woods harboring wild +Afric beasts of prey, and silken creatures whose exported furs give +robes to Tartar Emperors; they mirror the paved capitals of Buffalo and +Cleveland, as well as Winnebago villages; they float alike the +full-rigged merchant ship, the armed cruiser of the State, the steamer, +and the beech canoe; they are swept by Borean and dismasting blasts as +direful as any that lash the salted wave; they know what shipwrecks +are, for out of sight of land, however inland, they have drowned full +many a midnight ship with all its shrieking crew. Thus, gentlemen, +though an inlander, Steelkilt was wild-ocean born, and wild-ocean +nurtured; as much of an audacious mariner as any. And for Radney, +though in his infancy he may have laid him down on the lone Nantucket +beach, to nurse at his maternal sea; though in after life he had long +followed our austere Atlantic and your contemplative Pacific; yet was +he quite as vengeful and full of social quarrel as the backwoods +seaman, fresh from the latitudes of buck-horn handled Bowie-knives. Yet +was this Nantucketer a man with some good-hearted traits; and this +Lakeman, a mariner, who though a sort of devil indeed, might yet by +inflexible firmness, only tempered by that common decency of human +recognition which is the meanest slaves right; thus treated, this +Steelkilt had long been retained harmless and docile. At all events, he +had proved so thus far; but Radney was doomed and made mad, and +Steelkiltbut, gentlemen, you shall hear. + +It was not more than a day or two at the furthest after pointing her +prow for her island haven, that the Town-Hos leak seemed again +increasing, but only so as to require an hour or more at the pumps +every day. You must know that in a settled and civilized ocean like our +Atlantic, for example, some skippers think little of pumping their +whole way across it; though of a still, sleepy night, should the +officer of the deck happen to forget his duty in that respect, the +probability would be that he and his shipmates would never again +remember it, on account of all hands gently subsiding to the bottom. +Nor in the solitary and savage seas far from you to the westward, +gentlemen, is it altogether unusual for ships to keep clanging at their +pump-handles in full chorus even for a voyage of considerable length; +that is, if it lie along a tolerably accessible coast, or if any other +reasonable retreat is afforded them. It is only when a leaky vessel is +in some very out of the way part of those waters, some really landless +latitude, that her captain begins to feel a little anxious. + +Much this way had it been with the Town-Ho; so when her leak was found +gaining once more, there was in truth some small concern manifested by +several of her company; especially by Radney the mate. He commanded the +upper sails to be well hoisted, sheeted home anew, and every way +expanded to the breeze. Now this Radney, I suppose, was as little of a +coward, and as little inclined to any sort of nervous apprehensiveness +touching his own person as any fearless, unthinking creature on land or +on sea that you can conveniently imagine, gentlemen. Therefore when he +betrayed this solicitude about the safety of the ship, some of the +seamen declared that it was only on account of his being a part owner +in her. So when they were working that evening at the pumps, there was +on this head no small gamesomeness slily going on among them, as they +stood with their feet continually overflowed by the rippling clear +water; clear as any mountain spring, gentlementhat bubbling from the +pumps ran across the deck, and poured itself out in steady spouts at +the lee scupper-holes. + +Now, as you well know, it is not seldom the case in this conventional +world of ourswatery or otherwise; that when a person placed in command +over his fellow-men finds one of them to be very significantly his +superior in general pride of manhood, straightway against that man he +conceives an unconquerable dislike and bitterness; and if he have a +chance he will pull down and pulverize that subalterns tower, and make +a little heap of dust of it. Be this conceit of mine as it may, +gentlemen, at all events Steelkilt was a tall and noble animal with a +head like a Roman, and a flowing golden beard like the tasseled +housings of your last viceroys snorting charger; and a brain, and a +heart, and a soul in him, gentlemen, which had made Steelkilt +Charlemagne, had he been born son to Charlemagnes father. But Radney, +the mate, was ugly as a mule; yet as hardy, as stubborn, as malicious. +He did not love Steelkilt, and Steelkilt knew it. + +Espying the mate drawing near as he was toiling at the pump with the +rest, the Lakeman affected not to notice him, but unawed, went on with +his gay banterings. + +Aye, aye, my merry lads, its a lively leak this; hold a cannikin, +one of ye, and lets have a taste. By the Lord, its worth bottling! I +tell ye what, men, old Rads investment must go for it! he had best cut +away his part of the hull and tow it home. The fact is, boys, that +sword-fish only began the job; hes come back again with a gang of +ship-carpenters, saw-fish, and file-fish, and what not; and the whole +posse of em are now hard at work cutting and slashing at the bottom; +making improvements, I suppose. If old Rad were here now, Id tell him +to jump overboard and scatter em. Theyre playing the devil with his +estate, I can tell him. But hes a simple old soul,Rad, and a beauty +too. Boys, they say the rest of his property is invested in +looking-glasses. I wonder if hed give a poor devil like me the model +of his nose. + +Damn your eyes! whats that pump stopping for? roared Radney, +pretending not to have heard the sailors talk. Thunder away at it! + +Aye, aye, sir, said Steelkilt, merry as a cricket. Lively, boys, +lively, now! And with that the pump clanged like fifty fire-engines; +the men tossed their hats off to it, and ere long that peculiar gasping +of the lungs was heard which denotes the fullest tension of lifes +utmost energies. + +Quitting the pump at last, with the rest of his band, the Lakeman went +forward all panting, and sat himself down on the windlass; his face +fiery red, his eyes bloodshot, and wiping the profuse sweat from his +brow. Now what cozening fiend it was, gentlemen, that possessed Radney +to meddle with such a man in that corporeally exasperated state, I know +not; but so it happened. Intolerably striding along the deck, the mate +commanded him to get a broom and sweep down the planks, and also a +shovel, and remove some offensive matters consequent upon allowing a +pig to run at large. + +Now, gentlemen, sweeping a ships deck at sea is a piece of household +work which in all times but raging gales is regularly attended to every +evening; it has been known to be done in the case of ships actually +foundering at the time. Such, gentlemen, is the inflexibility of +sea-usages and the instinctive love of neatness in seamen; some of whom +would not willingly drown without first washing their faces. But in all +vessels this broom business is the prescriptive province of the boys, +if boys there be aboard. Besides, it was the stronger men in the +Town-Ho that had been divided into gangs, taking turns at the pumps; +and being the most athletic seaman of them all, Steelkilt had been +regularly assigned captain of one of the gangs; consequently he should +have been freed from any trivial business not connected with truly +nautical duties, such being the case with his comrades. I mention all +these particulars so that you may understand exactly how this affair +stood between the two men. + +But there was more than this: the order about the shovel was almost as +plainly meant to sting and insult Steelkilt, as though Radney had spat +in his face. Any man who has gone sailor in a whale-ship will +understand this; and all this and doubtless much more, the Lakeman +fully comprehended when the mate uttered his command. But as he sat +still for a moment, and as he steadfastly looked into the mates +malignant eye and perceived the stacks of powder-casks heaped up in him +and the slow-match silently burning along towards them; as he +instinctively saw all this, that strange forbearance and unwillingness +to stir up the deeper passionateness in any already ireful beinga +repugnance most felt, when felt at all, by really valiant men even when +aggrievedthis nameless phantom feeling, gentlemen, stole over +Steelkilt. + +Therefore, in his ordinary tone, only a little broken by the bodily +exhaustion he was temporarily in, he answered him saying that sweeping +the deck was not his business, and he would not do it. And then, +without at all alluding to the shovel, he pointed to three lads as the +customary sweepers; who, not being billeted at the pumps, had done +little or nothing all day. To this, Radney replied with an oath, in a +most domineering and outrageous manner unconditionally reiterating his +command; meanwhile advancing upon the still seated Lakeman, with an +uplifted coopers club hammer which he had snatched from a cask near +by. + +Heated and irritated as he was by his spasmodic toil at the pumps, for +all his first nameless feeling of forbearance the sweating Steelkilt +could but ill brook this bearing in the mate; but somehow still +smothering the conflagration within him, without speaking he remained +doggedly rooted to his seat, till at last the incensed Radney shook the +hammer within a few inches of his face, furiously commanding him to do +his bidding. + +Steelkilt rose, and slowly retreating round the windlass, steadily +followed by the mate with his menacing hammer, deliberately repeated +his intention not to obey. Seeing, however, that his forbearance had +not the slightest effect, by an awful and unspeakable intimation with +his twisted hand he warned off the foolish and infatuated man; but it +was to no purpose. And in this way the two went once slowly round the +windlass; when, resolved at last no longer to retreat, bethinking him +that he had now forborne as much as comported with his humor, the +Lakeman paused on the hatches and thus spoke to the officer: + +Mr. Radney, I will not obey you. Take that hammer away, or look to +yourself. But the predestinated mate coming still closer to him, where +the Lakeman stood fixed, now shook the heavy hammer within an inch of +his teeth; meanwhile repeating a string of insufferable maledictions. +Retreating not the thousandth part of an inch; stabbing him in the eye +with the unflinching poniard of his glance, Steelkilt, clenching his +right hand behind him and creepingly drawing it back, told his +persecutor that if the hammer but grazed his cheek he (Steelkilt) would +murder him. But, gentlemen, the fool had been branded for the slaughter +by the gods. Immediately the hammer touched the cheek; the next instant +the lower jaw of the mate was stove in his head; he fell on the hatch +spouting blood like a whale. + +Ere the cry could go aft Steelkilt was shaking one of the backstays +leading far aloft to where two of his comrades were standing their +mastheads. They were both Canallers. + +Canallers! cried Don Pedro. We have seen many whale-ships in our +harbours, but never heard of your Canallers. Pardon: who and what are +they? + +Canallers, Don, are the boatmen belonging to our grand Erie Canal. +You must have heard of it. + +Nay, Senor; hereabouts in this dull, warm, most lazy, and hereditary +land, we know but little of your vigorous North. + +Aye? Well then, Don, refill my cup. Your chichas very fine; and ere +proceeding further I will tell ye what our Canallers are; for such +information may throw side-light upon my story. + +For three hundred and sixty miles, gentlemen, through the entire +breadth of the state of New York; through numerous populous cities and +most thriving villages; through long, dismal, uninhabited swamps, and +affluent, cultivated fields, unrivalled for fertility; by billiard-room +and bar-room; through the holy-of-holies of great forests; on Roman +arches over Indian rivers; through sun and shade; by happy hearts or +broken; through all the wide contrasting scenery of those noble Mohawk +counties; and especially, by rows of snow-white chapels, whose spires +stand almost like milestones, flows one continual stream of Venetianly +corrupt and often lawless life. Theres your true Ashantee, gentlemen; +there howl your pagans; where you ever find them, next door to you; +under the long-flung shadow, and the snug patronising lee of churches. +For by some curious fatality, as it is often noted of your metropolitan +freebooters that they ever encamp around the halls of justice, so +sinners, gentlemen, most abound in holiest vicinities. + +Is that a friar passing? said Don Pedro, looking downwards into the +crowded plazza, with humorous concern. + +Well for our northern friend, Dame Isabellas Inquisition wanes in +Lima, laughed Don Sebastian. Proceed, Senor. + +A moment! Pardon! cried another of the company. In the name of all +us Limeese, I but desire to express to you, sir sailor, that we have by +no means overlooked your delicacy in not substituting present Lima for +distant Venice in your corrupt comparison. Oh! do not bow and look +surprised; you know the proverb all along this coastCorrupt as Lima. +It but bears out your saying, too; churches more plentiful than +billiard-tables, and for ever openand Corrupt as Lima. So, too, +Venice; I have been there; the holy city of the blessed evangelist, St. +Mark!St. Dominic, purge it! Your cup! Thanks: here I refill; now, you +pour out again. + +Freely depicted in his own vocation, gentlemen, the Canaller would +make a fine dramatic hero, so abundantly and picturesquely wicked is +he. Like Mark Antony, for days and days along his green-turfed, flowery +Nile, he indolently floats, openly toying with his red-cheeked +Cleopatra, ripening his apricot thigh upon the sunny deck. But ashore, +all this effeminacy is dashed. The brigandish guise which the Canaller +so proudly sports; his slouched and gaily-ribboned hat betoken his +grand features. A terror to the smiling innocence of the villages +through which he floats; his swart visage and bold swagger are not +unshunned in cities. Once a vagabond on his own canal, I have received +good turns from one of these Canallers; I thank him heartily; would +fain be not ungrateful; but it is often one of the prime redeeming +qualities of your man of violence, that at times he has as stiff an arm +to back a poor stranger in a strait, as to plunder a wealthy one. In +sum, gentlemen, what the wildness of this canal life is, is +emphatically evinced by this; that our wild whale-fishery contains so +many of its most finished graduates, and that scarce any race of +mankind, except Sydney men, are so much distrusted by our whaling +captains. Nor does it at all diminish the curiousness of this matter, +that to many thousands of our rural boys and young men born along its +line, the probationary life of the Grand Canal furnishes the sole +transition between quietly reaping in a Christian corn-field, and +recklessly ploughing the waters of the most barbaric seas. + +I see! I see! impetuously exclaimed Don Pedro, spilling his chicha +upon his silvery ruffles. No need to travel! The worlds one Lima. I +had thought, now, that at your temperate North the generations were +cold and holy as the hills.But the story. + +I left off, gentlemen, where the Lakeman shook the backstay. Hardly +had he done so, when he was surrounded by the three junior mates and +the four harpooneers, who all crowded him to the deck. But sliding down +the ropes like baleful comets, the two Canallers rushed into the +uproar, and sought to drag their man out of it towards the forecastle. +Others of the sailors joined with them in this attempt, and a twisted +turmoil ensued; while standing out of harms way, the valiant captain +danced up and down with a whale-pike, calling upon his officers to +manhandle that atrocious scoundrel, and smoke him along to the +quarter-deck. At intervals, he ran close up to the revolving border of +the confusion, and prying into the heart of it with his pike, sought to +prick out the object of his resentment. But Steelkilt and his +desperadoes were too much for them all; they succeeded in gaining the +forecastle deck, where, hastily slewing about three or four large casks +in a line with the windlass, these sea-Parisians entrenched themselves +behind the barricade. + +Come out of that, ye pirates! roared the captain, now menacing them +with a pistol in each hand, just brought to him by the steward. Come +out of that, ye cut-throats! + +Steelkilt leaped on the barricade, and striding up and down there, +defied the worst the pistols could do; but gave the captain to +understand distinctly, that his (Steelkilts) death would be the signal +for a murderous mutiny on the part of all hands. Fearing in his heart +lest this might prove but too true, the captain a little desisted, but +still commanded the insurgents instantly to return to their duty. + +Will you promise not to touch us, if we do? demanded their +ringleader. + +Turn to! turn to!I make no promise;to your duty! Do you want to +sink the ship, by knocking off at a time like this? Turn to! and he +once more raised a pistol. + +Sink the ship? cried Steelkilt. Aye, let her sink. Not a man of us +turns to, unless you swear not to raise a rope-yarn against us. What +say ye, men? turning to his comrades. A fierce cheer was their +response. + +The Lakeman now patrolled the barricade, all the while keeping his eye +on the Captain, and jerking out such sentences as these:Its not our +fault; we didnt want it; I told him to take his hammer away; it was +boys business; he might have known me before this; I told him not to +prick the buffalo; I believe I have broken a finger here against his +cursed jaw; aint those mincing knives down in the forecastle there, +men? look to those handspikes, my hearties. Captain, by God, look to +yourself; say the word; dont be a fool; forget it all; we are ready to +turn to; treat us decently, and were your men; but we wont be +flogged. + +Turn to! I make no promises, turn to, I say! + +Look ye, now, cried the Lakeman, flinging out his arm towards him, +there are a few of us here (and I am one of them) who have shipped for +the cruise, dye see; now as you well know, sir, we can claim our +discharge as soon as the anchor is down; so we dont want a row; its +not our interest; we want to be peaceable; we are ready to work, but we +wont be flogged. + +Turn to! roared the Captain. + +Steelkilt glanced round him a moment, and then said:I tell you what +it is now, Captain, rather than kill ye, and be hung for such a shabby +rascal, we wont lift a hand against ye unless ye attack us; but till +you say the word about not flogging us, we dont do a hands turn. + +Down into the forecastle then, down with ye, Ill keep ye there till +yere sick of it. Down ye go. + +Shall we? cried the ringleader to his men. Most of them were against +it; but at length, in obedience to Steelkilt, they preceded him down +into their dark den, growlingly disappearing, like bears into a cave. + +As the Lakemans bare head was just level with the planks, the Captain +and his posse leaped the barricade, and rapidly drawing over the slide +of the scuttle, planted their group of hands upon it, and loudly called +for the steward to bring the heavy brass padlock belonging to the +companionway. Then opening the slide a little, the Captain whispered +something down the crack, closed it, and turned the key upon themten +in numberleaving on deck some twenty or more, who thus far had +remained neutral. + +All night a wide-awake watch was kept by all the officers, forward and +aft, especially about the forecastle scuttle and fore hatchway; at +which last place it was feared the insurgents might emerge, after +breaking through the bulkhead below. But the hours of darkness passed +in peace; the men who still remained at their duty toiling hard at the +pumps, whose clinking and clanking at intervals through the dreary +night dismally resounded through the ship. + +At sunrise the Captain went forward, and knocking on the deck, +summoned the prisoners to work; but with a yell they refused. Water was +then lowered down to them, and a couple of handfuls of biscuit were +tossed after it; when again turning the key upon them and pocketing it, +the Captain returned to the quarter-deck. Twice every day for three +days this was repeated; but on the fourth morning a confused wrangling, +and then a scuffling was heard, as the customary summons was delivered; +and suddenly four men burst up from the forecastle, saying they were +ready to turn to. The fetid closeness of the air, and a famishing diet, +united perhaps to some fears of ultimate retribution, had constrained +them to surrender at discretion. Emboldened by this, the Captain +reiterated his demand to the rest, but Steelkilt shouted up to him a +terrific hint to stop his babbling and betake himself where he +belonged. On the fifth morning three others of the mutineers bolted up +into the air from the desperate arms below that sought to restrain +them. Only three were left. + +Better turn to, now? said the Captain with a heartless jeer. + +Shut us up again, will ye! cried Steelkilt. + +Oh certainly, said the Captain, and the key clicked. + +It was at this point, gentlemen, that enraged by the defection of +seven of his former associates, and stung by the mocking voice that had +last hailed him, and maddened by his long entombment in a place as +black as the bowels of despair; it was then that Steelkilt proposed to +the two Canallers, thus far apparently of one mind with him, to burst +out of their hole at the next summoning of the garrison; and armed with +their keen mincing knives (long, crescentic, heavy implements with a +handle at each end) run amuck from the bowsprit to the taffrail; and if +by any devilishness of desperation possible, seize the ship. For +himself, he would do this, he said, whether they joined him or not. +That was the last night he should spend in that den. But the scheme met +with no opposition on the part of the other two; they swore they were +ready for that, or for any other mad thing, for anything in short but a +surrender. And what was more, they each insisted upon being the first +man on deck, when the time to make the rush should come. But to this +their leader as fiercely objected, reserving that priority for himself; +particularly as his two comrades would not yield, the one to the other, +in the matter; and both of them could not be first, for the ladder +would but admit one man at a time. And here, gentlemen, the foul play +of these miscreants must come out. + +Upon hearing the frantic project of their leader, each in his own +separate soul had suddenly lighted, it would seem, upon the same piece +of treachery, namely: to be foremost in breaking out, in order to be +the first of the three, though the last of the ten, to surrender; and +thereby secure whatever small chance of pardon such conduct might +merit. But when Steelkilt made known his determination still to lead +them to the last, they in some way, by some subtle chemistry of +villany, mixed their before secret treacheries together; and when their +leader fell into a doze, verbally opened their souls to each other in +three sentences; and bound the sleeper with cords, and gagged him with +cords; and shrieked out for the Captain at midnight. + +Thinking murder at hand, and smelling in the dark for the blood, he +and all his armed mates and harpooneers rushed for the forecastle. In a +few minutes the scuttle was opened, and, bound hand and foot, the still +struggling ringleader was shoved up into the air by his perfidious +allies, who at once claimed the honor of securing a man who had been +fully ripe for murder. But all these were collared, and dragged along +the deck like dead cattle; and, side by side, were seized up into the +mizzen rigging, like three quarters of meat, and there they hung till +morning. Damn ye, cried the Captain, pacing to and fro before them, +the vultures would not touch ye, ye villains! + +At sunrise he summoned all hands; and separating those who had +rebelled from those who had taken no part in the mutiny, he told the +former that he had a good mind to flog them all roundthought, upon the +whole, he would do sohe ought tojustice demanded it; but for the +present, considering their timely surrender, he would let them go with +a reprimand, which he accordingly administered in the vernacular. + +But as for you, ye carrion rogues, turning to the three men in the +riggingfor you, I mean to mince ye up for the try-pots; and, seizing +a rope, he applied it with all his might to the backs of the two +traitors, till they yelled no more, but lifelessly hung their heads +sideways, as the two crucified thieves are drawn. + +My wrist is sprained with ye! he cried, at last; but there is still +rope enough left for you, my fine bantam, that wouldnt give up. Take +that gag from his mouth, and let us hear what he can say for himself. + +For a moment the exhausted mutineer made a tremulous motion of his +cramped jaws, and then painfully twisting round his head, said in a +sort of hiss, What I say is thisand mind it wellif you flog me, I +murder you! + +Say ye so? then see how ye frighten meand the Captain drew off with +the rope to strike. + +Best not, hissed the Lakeman. + +But I must,and the rope was once more drawn back for the stroke. + +Steelkilt here hissed out something, inaudible to all but the Captain; +who, to the amazement of all hands, started back, paced the deck +rapidly two or three times, and then suddenly throwing down his rope, +said, I wont do itlet him gocut him down: dye hear? + +But as the junior mates were hurrying to execute the order, a pale +man, with a bandaged head, arrested themRadney the chief mate. Ever +since the blow, he had lain in his berth; but that morning, hearing the +tumult on the deck, he had crept out, and thus far had watched the +whole scene. Such was the state of his mouth, that he could hardly +speak; but mumbling something about _his_ being willing and able to do +what the captain dared not attempt, he snatched the rope and advanced +to his pinioned foe. + +You are a coward! hissed the Lakeman. + +So I am, but take that. The mate was in the very act of striking, +when another hiss stayed his uplifted arm. He paused: and then pausing +no more, made good his word, spite of Steelkilts threat, whatever that +might have been. The three men were then cut down, all hands were +turned to, and, sullenly worked by the moody seamen, the iron pumps +clanged as before. + +Just after dark that day, when one watch had retired below, a clamor +was heard in the forecastle; and the two trembling traitors running up, +besieged the cabin door, saying they durst not consort with the crew. +Entreaties, cuffs, and kicks could not drive them back, so at their own +instance they were put down in the ships run for salvation. Still, no +sign of mutiny reappeared among the rest. On the contrary, it seemed, +that mainly at Steelkilts instigation, they had resolved to maintain +the strictest peacefulness, obey all orders to the last, and, when the +ship reached port, desert her in a body. But in order to insure the +speediest end to the voyage, they all agreed to another thingnamely, +not to sing out for whales, in case any should be discovered. For, +spite of her leak, and spite of all her other perils, the Town-Ho still +maintained her mast-heads, and her captain was just as willing to lower +for a fish that moment, as on the day his craft first struck the +cruising ground; and Radney the mate was quite as ready to change his +berth for a boat, and with his bandaged mouth seek to gag in death the +vital jaw of the whale. + +But though the Lakeman had induced the seamen to adopt this sort of +passiveness in their conduct, he kept his own counsel (at least till +all was over) concerning his own proper and private revenge upon the +man who had stung him in the ventricles of his heart. He was in Radney +the chief mates watch; and as if the infatuated man sought to run more +than half way to meet his doom, after the scene at the rigging, he +insisted, against the express counsel of the captain, upon resuming the +head of his watch at night. Upon this, and one or two other +circumstances, Steelkilt systematically built the plan of his revenge. + +During the night, Radney had an unseamanlike way of sitting on the +bulwarks of the quarter-deck, and leaning his arm upon the gunwale of +the boat which was hoisted up there, a little above the ships side. In +this attitude, it was well known, he sometimes dozed. There was a +considerable vacancy between the boat and the ship, and down between +this was the sea. Steelkilt calculated his time, and found that his +next trick at the helm would come round at two oclock, in the morning +of the third day from that in which he had been betrayed. At his +leisure, he employed the interval in braiding something very carefully +in his watches below. + +What are you making there? said a shipmate. + +What do you think? what does it look like? + +Like a lanyard for your bag; but its an odd one, seems to me. + +Yes, rather oddish, said the Lakeman, holding it at arms length +before him; but I think it will answer. Shipmate, I havent enough +twine,have you any? + +But there was none in the forecastle. + +Then I must get some from old Rad; and he rose to go aft. + +You dont mean to go a begging to _him!_ said a sailor. + +Why not? Do you think he wont do me a turn, when its to help +himself in the end, shipmate? and going to the mate, he looked at him +quietly, and asked him for some twine to mend his hammock. It was given +himneither twine nor lanyard were seen again; but the next night an +iron ball, closely netted, partly rolled from the pocket of the +Lakemans monkey jacket, as he was tucking the coat into his hammock +for a pillow. Twenty-four hours after, his trick at the silent +helmnigh to the man who was apt to doze over the grave always ready +dug to the seamans handthat fatal hour was then to come; and in the +fore-ordaining soul of Steelkilt, the mate was already stark and +stretched as a corpse, with his forehead crushed in. + +But, gentlemen, a fool saved the would-be murderer from the bloody +deed he had planned. Yet complete revenge he had, and without being the +avenger. For by a mysterious fatality, Heaven itself seemed to step in +to take out of his hands into its own the damning thing he would have +done. + +It was just between daybreak and sunrise of the morning of the second +day, when they were washing down the decks, that a stupid Teneriffe +man, drawing water in the main-chains, all at once shouted out, There +she rolls! there she rolls! Jesu, what a whale! It was Moby Dick. + +Moby Dick! cried Don Sebastian; St. Dominic! Sir sailor, but do +whales have christenings? Whom call you Moby Dick? + +A very white, and famous, and most deadly immortal monster, Don;but +that would be too long a story. + +How? how? cried all the young Spaniards, crowding. + +Nay, Dons, Donsnay, nay! I cannot rehearse that now. Let me get more +into the air, Sirs. + +The chicha! the chicha! cried Don Pedro; our vigorous friend looks +faint;fill up his empty glass! + +No need, gentlemen; one moment, and I proceed.Now, gentlemen, so +suddenly perceiving the snowy whale within fifty yards of the +shipforgetful of the compact among the crewin the excitement of the +moment, the Teneriffe man had instinctively and involuntarily lifted +his voice for the monster, though for some little time past it had been +plainly beheld from the three sullen mast-heads. All was now a phrensy. +The White Whalethe White Whale! was the cry from captain, mates, and +harpooneers, who, undeterred by fearful rumours, were all anxious to +capture so famous and precious a fish; while the dogged crew eyed +askance, and with curses, the appalling beauty of the vast milky mass, +that lit up by a horizontal spangling sun, shifted and glistened like a +living opal in the blue morning sea. Gentlemen, a strange fatality +pervades the whole career of these events, as if verily mapped out +before the world itself was charted. The mutineer was the bowsman of +the mate, and when fast to a fish, it was his duty to sit next him, +while Radney stood up with his lance in the prow, and haul in or +slacken the line, at the word of command. Moreover, when the four boats +were lowered, the mates got the start; and none howled more fiercely +with delight than did Steelkilt, as he strained at his oar. After a +stiff pull, their harpooneer got fast, and, spear in hand, Radney +sprang to the bow. He was always a furious man, it seems, in a boat. +And now his bandaged cry was, to beach him on the whales topmost back. +Nothing loath, his bowsman hauled him up and up, through a blinding +foam that blent two whitenesses together; till of a sudden the boat +struck as against a sunken ledge, and keeling over, spilled out the +standing mate. That instant, as he fell on the whales slippery back, +the boat righted, and was dashed aside by the swell, while Radney was +tossed over into the sea, on the other flank of the whale. He struck +out through the spray, and, for an instant, was dimly seen through that +veil, wildly seeking to remove himself from the eye of Moby Dick. But +the whale rushed round in a sudden maelstrom; seized the swimmer +between his jaws; and rearing high up with him, plunged headlong again, +and went down. + +Meantime, at the first tap of the boats bottom, the Lakeman had +slackened the line, so as to drop astern from the whirlpool; calmly +looking on, he thought his own thoughts. But a sudden, terrific, +downward jerking of the boat, quickly brought his knife to the line. He +cut it; and the whale was free. But, at some distance, Moby Dick rose +again, with some tatters of Radneys red woollen shirt, caught in the +teeth that had destroyed him. All four boats gave chase again; but the +whale eluded them, and finally wholly disappeared. + +In good time, the Town-Ho reached her porta savage, solitary +placewhere no civilized creature resided. There, headed by the +Lakeman, all but five or six of the foremastmen deliberately deserted +among the palms; eventually, as it turned out, seizing a large double +war-canoe of the savages, and setting sail for some other harbor. + +The ships company being reduced to but a handful, the captain called +upon the Islanders to assist him in the laborious business of heaving +down the ship to stop the leak. But to such unresting vigilance over +their dangerous allies was this small band of whites necessitated, both +by night and by day, and so extreme was the hard work they underwent, +that upon the vessel being ready again for sea, they were in such a +weakened condition that the captain durst not put off with them in so +heavy a vessel. After taking counsel with his officers, he anchored the +ship as far off shore as possible; loaded and ran out his two cannon +from the bows; stacked his muskets on the poop; and warning the +Islanders not to approach the ship at their peril, took one man with +him, and setting the sail of his best whale-boat, steered straight +before the wind for Tahiti, five hundred miles distant, to procure a +reinforcement to his crew. + +On the fourth day of the sail, a large canoe was descried, which +seemed to have touched at a low isle of corals. He steered away from +it; but the savage craft bore down on him; and soon the voice of +Steelkilt hailed him to heave to, or he would run him under water. The +captain presented a pistol. With one foot on each prow of the yoked +war-canoes, the Lakeman laughed him to scorn; assuring him that if the +pistol so much as clicked in the lock, he would bury him in bubbles and +foam. + +What do you want of me? cried the captain. + +Where are you bound? and for what are you bound? demanded Steelkilt; +no lies. + +I am bound to Tahiti for more men. + +Very good. Let me board you a momentI come in peace. With that he +leaped from the canoe, swam to the boat; and climbing the gunwale, +stood face to face with the captain. + +Cross your arms, sir; throw back your head. Now, repeat after me. As +soon as Steelkilt leaves me, I swear to beach this boat on yonder +island, and remain there six days. If I do not, may lightnings strike +me! + +A pretty scholar, laughed the Lakeman. Adios, Senor! and leaping +into the sea, he swam back to his comrades. + +Watching the boat till it was fairly beached, and drawn up to the +roots of the cocoa-nut trees, Steelkilt made sail again, and in due +time arrived at Tahiti, his own place of destination. There, luck +befriended him; two ships were about to sail for France, and were +providentially in want of precisely that number of men which the sailor +headed. They embarked; and so for ever got the start of their former +captain, had he been at all minded to work them legal retribution. + +Some ten days after the French ships sailed, the whale-boat arrived, +and the captain was forced to enlist some of the more civilized +Tahitians, who had been somewhat used to the sea. Chartering a small +native schooner, he returned with them to his vessel; and finding all +right there, again resumed his cruisings. + +Where Steelkilt now is, gentlemen, none know; but upon the island of +Nantucket, the widow of Radney still turns to the sea which refuses to +give up its dead; still in dreams sees the awful white whale that +destroyed him. * * * * + +Are you through? said Don Sebastian, quietly. + +I am, Don. + +Then I entreat you, tell me if to the best of your own convictions, +this your story is in substance really true? It is so passing +wonderful! Did you get it from an unquestionable source? Bear with me +if I seem to press. + +Also bear with all of us, sir sailor; for we all join in Don +Sebastians suit, cried the company, with exceeding interest. + +Is there a copy of the Holy Evangelists in the Golden Inn, +gentlemen? + +Nay, said Don Sebastian; but I know a worthy priest near by, who +will quickly procure one for me. I go for it; but are you well advised? +this may grow too serious. + +Will you be so good as to bring the priest also, Don? + +Though there are no Auto-da-Fs in Lima now, said one of the company +to another; I fear our sailor friend runs risk of the archiepiscopacy. +Let us withdraw more out of the moonlight. I see no need of this. + +Excuse me for running after you, Don Sebastian; but may I also beg +that you will be particular in procuring the largest sized Evangelists +you can. + +* * * * * * + +This is the priest, he brings you the Evangelists, said Don +Sebastian, gravely, returning with a tall and solemn figure. + +Let me remove my hat. Now, venerable priest, further into the light, +and hold the Holy Book before me that I may touch it. + +So help me Heaven, and on my honor the story I have told ye, +gentlemen, is in substance and its great items, true. I know it to be +true; it happened on this ball; I trod the ship; I knew the crew; I +have seen and talked with Steelkilt since the death of Radney. + + +CHAPTER 55. Of the Monstrous Pictures of Whales. + +I shall ere long paint to you as well as one can without canvas, +something like the true form of the whale as he actually appears to the +eye of the whaleman when in his own absolute body the whale is moored +alongside the whale-ship so that he can be fairly stepped upon there. +It may be worth while, therefore, previously to advert to those curious +imaginary portraits of him which even down to the present day +confidently challenge the faith of the landsman. It is time to set the +world right in this matter, by proving such pictures of the whale all +wrong. + +It may be that the primal source of all those pictorial delusions will +be found among the oldest Hindoo, Egyptian, and Grecian sculptures. For +ever since those inventive but unscrupulous times when on the marble +panellings of temples, the pedestals of statues, and on shields, +medallions, cups, and coins, the dolphin was drawn in scales of +chain-armor like Saladins, and a helmeted head like St. Georges; ever +since then has something of the same sort of license prevailed, not +only in most popular pictures of the whale, but in many scientific +presentations of him. + +Now, by all odds, the most ancient extant portrait anyways purporting +to be the whales, is to be found in the famous cavern-pagoda of +Elephanta, in India. The Brahmins maintain that in the almost endless +sculptures of that immemorial pagoda, all the trades and pursuits, +every conceivable avocation of man, were prefigured ages before any of +them actually came into being. No wonder then, that in some sort our +noble profession of whaling should have been there shadowed forth. The +Hindoo whale referred to, occurs in a separate department of the wall, +depicting the incarnation of Vishnu in the form of leviathan, learnedly +known as the Matse Avatar. But though this sculpture is half man and +half whale, so as only to give the tail of the latter, yet that small +section of him is all wrong. It looks more like the tapering tail of an +anaconda, than the broad palms of the true whales majestic flukes. + +But go to the old Galleries, and look now at a great Christian +painters portrait of this fish; for he succeeds no better than the +antediluvian Hindoo. It is Guidos picture of Perseus rescuing +Andromeda from the sea-monster or whale. Where did Guido get the model +of such a strange creature as that? Nor does Hogarth, in painting the +same scene in his own Perseus Descending, make out one whit better. +The huge corpulence of that Hogarthian monster undulates on the +surface, scarcely drawing one inch of water. It has a sort of howdah on +its back, and its distended tusked mouth into which the billows are +rolling, might be taken for the Traitors Gate leading from the Thames +by water into the Tower. Then, there are the Prodromus whales of old +Scotch Sibbald, and Jonahs whale, as depicted in the prints of old +Bibles and the cuts of old primers. What shall be said of these? As for +the book-binders whale winding like a vine-stalk round the stock of a +descending anchoras stamped and gilded on the backs and title-pages of +many books both old and newthat is a very picturesque but purely +fabulous creature, imitated, I take it, from the like figures on +antique vases. Though universally denominated a dolphin, I nevertheless +call this book-binders fish an attempt at a whale; because it was so +intended when the device was first introduced. It was introduced by an +old Italian publisher somewhere about the 15th century, during the +Revival of Learning; and in those days, and even down to a +comparatively late period, dolphins were popularly supposed to be a +species of the Leviathan. + +In the vignettes and other embellishments of some ancient books you +will at times meet with very curious touches at the whale, where all +manner of spouts, jets deau, hot springs and cold, Saratoga and +Baden-Baden, come bubbling up from his unexhausted brain. In the +title-page of the original edition of the Advancement of Learning you +will find some curious whales. + +But quitting all these unprofessional attempts, let us glance at those +pictures of leviathan purporting to be sober, scientific delineations, +by those who know. In old Harriss collection of voyages there are some +plates of whales extracted from a Dutch book of voyages, A.D. 1671, +entitled A Whaling Voyage to Spitzbergen in the ship Jonas in the +Whale, Peter Peterson of Friesland, master. In one of those plates the +whales, like great rafts of logs, are represented lying among +ice-isles, with white bears running over their living backs. In another +plate, the prodigious blunder is made of representing the whale with +perpendicular flukes. + +Then again, there is an imposing quarto, written by one Captain +Colnett, a Post Captain in the English navy, entitled A Voyage round +Cape Horn into the South Seas, for the purpose of extending the +Spermaceti Whale Fisheries. In this book is an outline purporting to +be a Picture of a Physeter or Spermaceti whale, drawn by scale from +one killed on the coast of Mexico, August, 1793, and hoisted on deck. +I doubt not the captain had this veracious picture taken for the +benefit of his marines. To mention but one thing about it, let me say +that it has an eye which applied, according to the accompanying scale, +to a full grown sperm whale, would make the eye of that whale a +bow-window some five feet long. Ah, my gallant captain, why did ye not +give us Jonah looking out of that eye! + +Nor are the most conscientious compilations of Natural History for the +benefit of the young and tender, free from the same heinousness of +mistake. Look at that popular work Goldsmiths Animated Nature. In +the abridged London edition of 1807, there are plates of an alleged +whale and a narwhale. I do not wish to seem inelegant, but this +unsightly whale looks much like an amputated sow; and, as for the +narwhale, one glimpse at it is enough to amaze one, that in this +nineteenth century such a hippogriff could be palmed for genuine upon +any intelligent public of schoolboys. + +Then, again, in 1825, Bernard Germain, Count de Lacpde, a great +naturalist, published a scientific systemized whale book, wherein are +several pictures of the different species of the Leviathan. All these +are not only incorrect, but the picture of the Mysticetus or Greenland +whale (that is to say, the Right whale), even Scoresby, a long +experienced man as touching that species, declares not to have its +counterpart in nature. + +But the placing of the cap-sheaf to all this blundering business was +reserved for the scientific Frederick Cuvier, brother to the famous +Baron. In 1836, he published a Natural History of Whales, in which he +gives what he calls a picture of the Sperm Whale. Before showing that +picture to any Nantucketer, you had best provide for your summary +retreat from Nantucket. In a word, Frederick Cuviers Sperm Whale is +not a Sperm Whale, but a squash. Of course, he never had the benefit of +a whaling voyage (such men seldom have), but whence he derived that +picture, who can tell? Perhaps he got it as his scientific predecessor +in the same field, Desmarest, got one of his authentic abortions; that +is, from a Chinese drawing. And what sort of lively lads with the +pencil those Chinese are, many queer cups and saucers inform us. + +As for the sign-painters whales seen in the streets hanging over the +shops of oil-dealers, what shall be said of them? They are generally +Richard III. whales, with dromedary humps, and very savage; +breakfasting on three or four sailor tarts, that is whaleboats full of +mariners: their deformities floundering in seas of blood and blue +paint. + +But these manifold mistakes in depicting the whale are not so very +surprising after all. Consider! Most of the scientific drawings have +been taken from the stranded fish; and these are about as correct as a +drawing of a wrecked ship, with broken back, would correctly represent +the noble animal itself in all its undashed pride of hull and spars. +Though elephants have stood for their full-lengths, the living +Leviathan has never yet fairly floated himself for his portrait. The +living whale, in his full majesty and significance, is only to be seen +at sea in unfathomable waters; and afloat the vast bulk of him is out +of sight, like a launched line-of-battle ship; and out of that element +it is a thing eternally impossible for mortal man to hoist him bodily +into the air, so as to preserve all his mighty swells and undulations. +And, not to speak of the highly presumable difference of contour +between a young sucking whale and a full-grown Platonian Leviathan; +yet, even in the case of one of those young sucking whales hoisted to a +ships deck, such is then the outlandish, eel-like, limbered, varying +shape of him, that his precise expression the devil himself could not +catch. + +But it may be fancied, that from the naked skeleton of the stranded +whale, accurate hints may be derived touching his true form. Not at +all. For it is one of the more curious things about this Leviathan, +that his skeleton gives very little idea of his general shape. Though +Jeremy Benthams skeleton, which hangs for candelabra in the library of +one of his executors, correctly conveys the idea of a burly-browed +utilitarian old gentleman, with all Jeremys other leading personal +characteristics; yet nothing of this kind could be inferred from any +leviathans articulated bones. In fact, as the great Hunter says, the +mere skeleton of the whale bears the same relation to the fully +invested and padded animal as the insect does to the chrysalis that so +roundingly envelopes it. This peculiarity is strikingly evinced in the +head, as in some part of this book will be incidentally shown. It is +also very curiously displayed in the side fin, the bones of which +almost exactly answer to the bones of the human hand, minus only the +thumb. This fin has four regular bone-fingers, the index, middle, ring, +and little finger. But all these are permanently lodged in their fleshy +covering, as the human fingers in an artificial covering. However +recklessly the whale may sometimes serve us, said humorous Stubb one +day, he can never be truly said to handle us without mittens. + +For all these reasons, then, any way you may look at it, you must needs +conclude that the great Leviathan is that one creature in the world +which must remain unpainted to the last. True, one portrait may hit the +mark much nearer than another, but none can hit it with any very +considerable degree of exactness. So there is no earthly way of finding +out precisely what the whale really looks like. And the only mode in +which you can derive even a tolerable idea of his living contour, is by +going a whaling yourself; but by so doing, you run no small risk of +being eternally stove and sunk by him. Wherefore, it seems to me you +had best not be too fastidious in your curiosity touching this +Leviathan. + + +CHAPTER 56. Of the Less Erroneous Pictures of Whales, and the True +Pictures of Whaling Scenes. + +In connexion with the monstrous pictures of whales, I am strongly +tempted here to enter upon those still more monstrous stories of them +which are to be found in certain books, both ancient and modern, +especially in Pliny, Purchas, Hackluyt, Harris, Cuvier, etc. But I pass +that matter by. + +I know of only four published outlines of the great Sperm Whale; +Colnetts, Hugginss, Frederick Cuviers, and Beales. In the previous +chapter Colnett and Cuvier have been referred to. Hugginss is far +better than theirs; but, by great odds, Beales is the best. All +Beales drawings of this whale are good, excepting the middle figure in +the picture of three whales in various attitudes, capping his second +chapter. His frontispiece, boats attacking Sperm Whales, though no +doubt calculated to excite the civil scepticism of some parlor men, is +admirably correct and life-like in its general effect. Some of the +Sperm Whale drawings in J. Ross Browne are pretty correct in contour; +but they are wretchedly engraved. That is not his fault though. + +Of the Right Whale, the best outline pictures are in Scoresby; but they +are drawn on too small a scale to convey a desirable impression. He has +but one picture of whaling scenes, and this is a sad deficiency, +because it is by such pictures only, when at all well done, that you +can derive anything like a truthful idea of the living whale as seen by +his living hunters. + +But, taken for all in all, by far the finest, though in some details +not the most correct, presentations of whales and whaling scenes to be +anywhere found, are two large French engravings, well executed, and +taken from paintings by one Garnery. Respectively, they represent +attacks on the Sperm and Right Whale. In the first engraving a noble +Sperm Whale is depicted in full majesty of might, just risen beneath +the boat from the profundities of the ocean, and bearing high in the +air upon his back the terrific wreck of the stoven planks. The prow of +the boat is partially unbroken, and is drawn just balancing upon the +monsters spine; and standing in that prow, for that one single +incomputable flash of time, you behold an oarsman, half shrouded by the +incensed boiling spout of the whale, and in the act of leaping, as if +from a precipice. The action of the whole thing is wonderfully good and +true. The half-emptied line-tub floats on the whitened sea; the wooden +poles of the spilled harpoons obliquely bob in it; the heads of the +swimming crew are scattered about the whale in contrasting expressions +of affright; while in the black stormy distance the ship is bearing +down upon the scene. Serious fault might be found with the anatomical +details of this whale, but let that pass; since, for the life of me, I +could not draw so good a one. + +In the second engraving, the boat is in the act of drawing alongside +the barnacled flank of a large running Right Whale, that rolls his +black weedy bulk in the sea like some mossy rock-slide from the +Patagonian cliffs. His jets are erect, full, and black like soot; so +that from so abounding a smoke in the chimney, you would think there +must be a brave supper cooking in the great bowels below. Sea fowls are +pecking at the small crabs, shell-fish, and other sea candies and +maccaroni, which the Right Whale sometimes carries on his pestilent +back. And all the while the thick-lipped leviathan is rushing through +the deep, leaving tons of tumultuous white curds in his wake, and +causing the slight boat to rock in the swells like a skiff caught nigh +the paddle-wheels of an ocean steamer. Thus, the foreground is all +raging commotion; but behind, in admirable artistic contrast, is the +glassy level of a sea becalmed, the drooping unstarched sails of the +powerless ship, and the inert mass of a dead whale, a conquered +fortress, with the flag of capture lazily hanging from the whale-pole +inserted into his spout-hole. + +Who Garnery the painter is, or was, I know not. But my life for it he +was either practically conversant with his subject, or else +marvellously tutored by some experienced whaleman. The French are the +lads for painting action. Go and gaze upon all the paintings of Europe, +and where will you find such a gallery of living and breathing +commotion on canvas, as in that triumphal hall at Versailles; where the +beholder fights his way, pell-mell, through the consecutive great +battles of France; where every sword seems a flash of the Northern +Lights, and the successive armed kings and Emperors dash by, like a +charge of crowned centaurs? Not wholly unworthy of a place in that +gallery, are these sea battle-pieces of Garnery. + +The natural aptitude of the French for seizing the picturesqueness of +things seems to be peculiarly evinced in what paintings and engravings +they have of their whaling scenes. With not one tenth of Englands +experience in the fishery, and not the thousandth part of that of the +Americans, they have nevertheless furnished both nations with the only +finished sketches at all capable of conveying the real spirit of the +whale hunt. For the most part, the English and American whale +draughtsmen seem entirely content with presenting the mechanical +outline of things, such as the vacant profile of the whale; which, so +far as picturesqueness of effect is concerned, is about tantamount to +sketching the profile of a pyramid. Even Scoresby, the justly renowned +Right whaleman, after giving us a stiff full length of the Greenland +whale, and three or four delicate miniatures of narwhales and +porpoises, treats us to a series of classical engravings of boat hooks, +chopping knives, and grapnels; and with the microscopic diligence of a +Leuwenhoeck submits to the inspection of a shivering world ninety-six +fac-similes of magnified Arctic snow crystals. I mean no disparagement +to the excellent voyager (I honor him for a veteran), but in so +important a matter it was certainly an oversight not to have procured +for every crystal a sworn affidavit taken before a Greenland Justice of +the Peace. + +In addition to those fine engravings from Garnery, there are two other +French engravings worthy of note, by some one who subscribes himself +H. Durand. One of them, though not precisely adapted to our present +purpose, nevertheless deserves mention on other accounts. It is a quiet +noon-scene among the isles of the Pacific; a French whaler anchored, +inshore, in a calm, and lazily taking water on board; the loosened +sails of the ship, and the long leaves of the palms in the background, +both drooping together in the breezeless air. The effect is very fine, +when considered with reference to its presenting the hardy fishermen +under one of their few aspects of oriental repose. The other engraving +is quite a different affair: the ship hove-to upon the open sea, and in +the very heart of the Leviathanic life, with a Right Whale alongside; +the vessel (in the act of cutting-in) hove over to the monster as if to +a quay; and a boat, hurriedly pushing off from this scene of activity, +is about giving chase to whales in the distance. The harpoons and +lances lie levelled for use; three oarsmen are just setting the mast in +its hole; while from a sudden roll of the sea, the little craft stands +half-erect out of the water, like a rearing horse. From the ship, the +smoke of the torments of the boiling whale is going up like the smoke +over a village of smithies; and to windward, a black cloud, rising up +with earnest of squalls and rains, seems to quicken the activity of the +excited seamen. + + +CHAPTER 57. Of Whales in Paint; in Teeth; in Wood; in Sheet-Iron; in +Stone; in Mountains; in Stars. + +On Tower-hill, as you go down to the London docks, you may have seen a +crippled beggar (or _kedger_, as the sailors say) holding a painted +board before him, representing the tragic scene in which he lost his +leg. There are three whales and three boats; and one of the boats +(presumed to contain the missing leg in all its original integrity) is +being crunched by the jaws of the foremost whale. Any time these ten +years, they tell me, has that man held up that picture, and exhibited +that stump to an incredulous world. But the time of his justification +has now come. His three whales are as good whales as were ever +published in Wapping, at any rate; and his stump as unquestionable a +stump as any you will find in the western clearings. But, though for +ever mounted on that stump, never a stump-speech does the poor whaleman +make; but, with downcast eyes, stands ruefully contemplating his own +amputation. + +Throughout the Pacific, and also in Nantucket, and New Bedford, and Sag +Harbor, you will come across lively sketches of whales and +whaling-scenes, graven by the fishermen themselves on Sperm +Whale-teeth, or ladies busks wrought out of the Right Whale-bone, and +other like skrimshander articles, as the whalemen call the numerous +little ingenious contrivances they elaborately carve out of the rough +material, in their hours of ocean leisure. Some of them have little +boxes of dentistical-looking implements, specially intended for the +skrimshandering business. But, in general, they toil with their +jack-knives alone; and, with that almost omnipotent tool of the sailor, +they will turn you out anything you please, in the way of a mariners +fancy. + +Long exile from Christendom and civilization inevitably restores a man +to that condition in which God placed him, _i.e._ what is called +savagery. Your true whale-hunter is as much a savage as an Iroquois. I +myself am a savage, owning no allegiance but to the King of the +Cannibals; and ready at any moment to rebel against him. + +Now, one of the peculiar characteristics of the savage in his domestic +hours, is his wonderful patience of industry. An ancient Hawaiian +war-club or spear-paddle, in its full multiplicity and elaboration of +carving, is as great a trophy of human perseverance as a Latin lexicon. +For, with but a bit of broken sea-shell or a sharks tooth, that +miraculous intricacy of wooden net-work has been achieved; and it has +cost steady years of steady application. + +As with the Hawaiian savage, so with the white sailor-savage. With the +same marvellous patience, and with the same single sharks tooth, of +his one poor jack-knife, he will carve you a bit of bone sculpture, not +quite as workmanlike, but as close packed in its maziness of design, as +the Greek savage, Achilless shield; and full of barbaric spirit and +suggestiveness, as the prints of that fine old Dutch savage, Albert +Durer. + +Wooden whales, or whales cut in profile out of the small dark slabs of +the noble South Sea war-wood, are frequently met with in the +forecastles of American whalers. Some of them are done with much +accuracy. + +At some old gable-roofed country houses you will see brass whales hung +by the tail for knockers to the road-side door. When the porter is +sleepy, the anvil-headed whale would be best. But these knocking whales +are seldom remarkable as faithful essays. On the spires of some +old-fashioned churches you will see sheet-iron whales placed there for +weather-cocks; but they are so elevated, and besides that are to all +intents and purposes so labelled with _Hands off!_ you cannot examine +them closely enough to decide upon their merit. + +In bony, ribby regions of the earth, where at the base of high broken +cliffs masses of rock lie strewn in fantastic groupings upon the plain, +you will often discover images as of the petrified forms of the +Leviathan partly merged in grass, which of a windy day breaks against +them in a surf of green surges. + +Then, again, in mountainous countries where the traveller is +continually girdled by amphitheatrical heights; here and there from +some lucky point of view you will catch passing glimpses of the +profiles of whales defined along the undulating ridges. But you must be +a thorough whaleman, to see these sights; and not only that, but if you +wish to return to such a sight again, you must be sure and take the +exact intersecting latitude and longitude of your first stand-point, +else so chance-like are such observations of the hills, that your +precise, previous stand-point would require a laborious re-discovery; +like the Soloma Islands, which still remain incognita, though once +high-ruffed Mendanna trod them and old Figuera chronicled them. + +Nor when expandingly lifted by your subject, can you fail to trace out +great whales in the starry heavens, and boats in pursuit of them; as +when long filled with thoughts of war the Eastern nations saw armies +locked in battle among the clouds. Thus at the North have I chased +Leviathan round and round the Pole with the revolutions of the bright +points that first defined him to me. And beneath the effulgent +Antarctic skies I have boarded the Argo-Navis, and joined the chase +against the starry Cetus far beyond the utmost stretch of Hydrus and +the Flying Fish. + +With a frigates anchors for my bridle-bitts and fasces of harpoons for +spurs, would I could mount that whale and leap the topmost skies, to +see whether the fabled heavens with all their countless tents really +lie encamped beyond my mortal sight! + + +CHAPTER 58. Brit. + +Steering north-eastward from the Crozetts, we fell in with vast meadows +of brit, the minute, yellow substance, upon which the Right Whale +largely feeds. For leagues and leagues it undulated round us, so that +we seemed to be sailing through boundless fields of ripe and golden +wheat. + +On the second day, numbers of Right Whales were seen, who, secure from +the attack of a Sperm Whaler like the Pequod, with open jaws sluggishly +swam through the brit, which, adhering to the fringing fibres of that +wondrous Venetian blind in their mouths, was in that manner separated +from the water that escaped at the lip. + +As morning mowers, who side by side slowly and seethingly advance their +scythes through the long wet grass of marshy meads; even so these +monsters swam, making a strange, grassy, cutting sound; and leaving +behind them endless swaths of blue upon the yellow sea.* + +*That part of the sea known among whalemen as the Brazil Banks does +not bear that name as the Banks of Newfoundland do, because of there +being shallows and soundings there, but because of this remarkable +meadow-like appearance, caused by the vast drifts of brit continually +floating in those latitudes, where the Right Whale is often chased. + +But it was only the sound they made as they parted the brit which at +all reminded one of mowers. Seen from the mast-heads, especially when +they paused and were stationary for a while, their vast black forms +looked more like lifeless masses of rock than anything else. And as in +the great hunting countries of India, the stranger at a distance will +sometimes pass on the plains recumbent elephants without knowing them +to be such, taking them for bare, blackened elevations of the soil; +even so, often, with him, who for the first time beholds this species +of the leviathans of the sea. And even when recognised at last, their +immense magnitude renders it very hard really to believe that such +bulky masses of overgrowth can possibly be instinct, in all parts, with +the same sort of life that lives in a dog or a horse. + +Indeed, in other respects, you can hardly regard any creatures of the +deep with the same feelings that you do those of the shore. For though +some old naturalists have maintained that all creatures of the land are +of their kind in the sea; and though taking a broad general view of the +thing, this may very well be; yet coming to specialties, where, for +example, does the ocean furnish any fish that in disposition answers to +the sagacious kindness of the dog? The accursed shark alone can in any +generic respect be said to bear comparative analogy to him. + +But though, to landsmen in general, the native inhabitants of the seas +have ever been regarded with emotions unspeakably unsocial and +repelling; though we know the sea to be an everlasting terra incognita, +so that Columbus sailed over numberless unknown worlds to discover his +one superficial western one; though, by vast odds, the most terrific of +all mortal disasters have immemorially and indiscriminately befallen +tens and hundreds of thousands of those who have gone upon the waters; +though but a moments consideration will teach, that however baby man +may brag of his science and skill, and however much, in a flattering +future, that science and skill may augment; yet for ever and for ever, +to the crack of doom, the sea will insult and murder him, and pulverize +the stateliest, stiffest frigate he can make; nevertheless, by the +continual repetition of these very impressions, man has lost that sense +of the full awfulness of the sea which aboriginally belongs to it. + +The first boat we read of, floated on an ocean, that with Portuguese +vengeance had whelmed a whole world without leaving so much as a widow. +That same ocean rolls now; that same ocean destroyed the wrecked ships +of last year. Yea, foolish mortals, Noahs flood is not yet subsided; +two thirds of the fair world it yet covers. + +Wherein differ the sea and the land, that a miracle upon one is not a +miracle upon the other? Preternatural terrors rested upon the Hebrews, +when under the feet of Korah and his company the live ground opened and +swallowed them up for ever; yet not a modern sun ever sets, but in +precisely the same manner the live sea swallows up ships and crews. + +But not only is the sea such a foe to man who is an alien to it, but it +is also a fiend to its own off-spring; worse than the Persian host who +murdered his own guests; sparing not the creatures which itself hath +spawned. Like a savage tigress that tossing in the jungle overlays her +own cubs, so the sea dashes even the mightiest whales against the +rocks, and leaves them there side by side with the split wrecks of +ships. No mercy, no power but its own controls it. Panting and snorting +like a mad battle steed that has lost its rider, the masterless ocean +overruns the globe. + +Consider the subtleness of the sea; how its most dreaded creatures +glide under water, unapparent for the most part, and treacherously +hidden beneath the loveliest tints of azure. Consider also the devilish +brilliance and beauty of many of its most remorseless tribes, as the +dainty embellished shape of many species of sharks. Consider, once +more, the universal cannibalism of the sea; all whose creatures prey +upon each other, carrying on eternal war since the world began. + +Consider all this; and then turn to this green, gentle, and most docile +earth; consider them both, the sea and the land; and do you not find a +strange analogy to something in yourself? For as this appalling ocean +surrounds the verdant land, so in the soul of man there lies one +insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the +horrors of the half known life. God keep thee! Push not off from that +isle, thou canst never return! + + +CHAPTER 59. Squid. + +Slowly wading through the meadows of brit, the Pequod still held on her +way north-eastward towards the island of Java; a gentle air impelling +her keel, so that in the surrounding serenity her three tall tapering +masts mildly waved to that languid breeze, as three mild palms on a +plain. And still, at wide intervals in the silvery night, the lonely, +alluring jet would be seen. + +But one transparent blue morning, when a stillness almost preternatural +spread over the sea, however unattended with any stagnant calm; when +the long burnished sun-glade on the waters seemed a golden finger laid +across them, enjoining some secrecy; when the slippered waves whispered +together as they softly ran on; in this profound hush of the visible +sphere a strange spectre was seen by Daggoo from the main-mast-head. + +In the distance, a great white mass lazily rose, and rising higher and +higher, and disentangling itself from the azure, at last gleamed before +our prow like a snow-slide, new slid from the hills. Thus glistening +for a moment, as slowly it subsided, and sank. Then once more arose, +and silently gleamed. It seemed not a whale; and yet is this Moby Dick? +thought Daggoo. Again the phantom went down, but on re-appearing once +more, with a stiletto-like cry that startled every man from his nod, +the negro yelled outThere! there again! there she breaches! right +ahead! The White Whale, the White Whale! + +Upon this, the seamen rushed to the yard-arms, as in swarming-time the +bees rush to the boughs. Bare-headed in the sultry sun, Ahab stood on +the bowsprit, and with one hand pushed far behind in readiness to wave +his orders to the helmsman, cast his eager glance in the direction +indicated aloft by the outstretched motionless arm of Daggoo. + +Whether the flitting attendance of the one still and solitary jet had +gradually worked upon Ahab, so that he was now prepared to connect the +ideas of mildness and repose with the first sight of the particular +whale he pursued; however this was, or whether his eagerness betrayed +him; whichever way it might have been, no sooner did he distinctly +perceive the white mass, than with a quick intensity he instantly gave +orders for lowering. + +The four boats were soon on the water; Ahabs in advance, and all +swiftly pulling towards their prey. Soon it went down, and while, with +oars suspended, we were awaiting its reappearance, lo! in the same spot +where it sank, once more it slowly rose. Almost forgetting for the +moment all thoughts of Moby Dick, we now gazed at the most wondrous +phenomenon which the secret seas have hitherto revealed to mankind. A +vast pulpy mass, furlongs in length and breadth, of a glancing +cream-colour, lay floating on the water, innumerable long arms +radiating from its centre, and curling and twisting like a nest of +anacondas, as if blindly to clutch at any hapless object within reach. +No perceptible face or front did it have; no conceivable token of +either sensation or instinct; but undulated there on the billows, an +unearthly, formless, chance-like apparition of life. + +As with a low sucking sound it slowly disappeared again, Starbuck still +gazing at the agitated waters where it had sunk, with a wild voice +exclaimedAlmost rather had I seen Moby Dick and fought him, than to +have seen thee, thou white ghost! + +What was it, Sir? said Flask. + +The great live squid, which, they say, few whale-ships ever beheld, +and returned to their ports to tell of it. + +But Ahab said nothing; turning his boat, he sailed back to the vessel; +the rest as silently following. + +Whatever superstitions the sperm whalemen in general have connected +with the sight of this object, certain it is, that a glimpse of it +being so very unusual, that circumstance has gone far to invest it with +portentousness. So rarely is it beheld, that though one and all of them +declare it to be the largest animated thing in the ocean, yet very few +of them have any but the most vague ideas concerning its true nature +and form; notwithstanding, they believe it to furnish to the sperm +whale his only food. For though other species of whales find their food +above water, and may be seen by man in the act of feeding, the +spermaceti whale obtains his whole food in unknown zones below the +surface; and only by inference is it that any one can tell of what, +precisely, that food consists. At times, when closely pursued, he will +disgorge what are supposed to be the detached arms of the squid; some +of them thus exhibited exceeding twenty and thirty feet in length. They +fancy that the monster to which these arms belonged ordinarily clings +by them to the bed of the ocean; and that the sperm whale, unlike other +species, is supplied with teeth in order to attack and tear it. + +There seems some ground to imagine that the great Kraken of Bishop +Pontoppodan may ultimately resolve itself into Squid. The manner in +which the Bishop describes it, as alternately rising and sinking, with +some other particulars he narrates, in all this the two correspond. But +much abatement is necessary with respect to the incredible bulk he +assigns it. + +By some naturalists who have vaguely heard rumors of the mysterious +creature, here spoken of, it is included among the class of +cuttle-fish, to which, indeed, in certain external respects it would +seem to belong, but only as the Anak of the tribe. + + +CHAPTER 60. The Line. + +With reference to the whaling scene shortly to be described, as well as +for the better understanding of all similar scenes elsewhere presented, +I have here to speak of the magical, sometimes horrible whale-line. + +The line originally used in the fishery was of the best hemp, slightly +vapored with tar, not impregnated with it, as in the case of ordinary +ropes; for while tar, as ordinarily used, makes the hemp more pliable +to the rope-maker, and also renders the rope itself more convenient to +the sailor for common ship use; yet, not only would the ordinary +quantity too much stiffen the whale-line for the close coiling to which +it must be subjected; but as most seamen are beginning to learn, tar in +general by no means adds to the ropes durability or strength, however +much it may give it compactness and gloss. + +Of late years the Manilla rope has in the American fishery almost +entirely superseded hemp as a material for whale-lines; for, though not +so durable as hemp, it is stronger, and far more soft and elastic; and +I will add (since there is an sthetics in all things), is much more +handsome and becoming to the boat, than hemp. Hemp is a dusky, dark +fellow, a sort of Indian; but Manilla is as a golden-haired Circassian +to behold. + +The whale-line is only two-thirds of an inch in thickness. At first +sight, you would not think it so strong as it really is. By experiment +its one and fifty yarns will each suspend a weight of one hundred and +twenty pounds; so that the whole rope will bear a strain nearly equal +to three tons. In length, the common sperm whale-line measures +something over two hundred fathoms. Towards the stern of the boat it is +spirally coiled away in the tub, not like the worm-pipe of a still +though, but so as to form one round, cheese-shaped mass of densely +bedded sheaves, or layers of concentric spiralizations, without any +hollow but the heart, or minute vertical tube formed at the axis of +the cheese. As the least tangle or kink in the coiling would, in +running out, infallibly take somebodys arm, leg, or entire body off, +the utmost precaution is used in stowing the line in its tub. Some +harpooneers will consume almost an entire morning in this business, +carrying the line high aloft and then reeving it downwards through a +block towards the tub, so as in the act of coiling to free it from all +possible wrinkles and twists. + +In the English boats two tubs are used instead of one; the same line +being continuously coiled in both tubs. There is some advantage in +this; because these twin-tubs being so small they fit more readily into +the boat, and do not strain it so much; whereas, the American tub, +nearly three feet in diameter and of proportionate depth, makes a +rather bulky freight for a craft whose planks are but one half-inch in +thickness; for the bottom of the whale-boat is like critical ice, which +will bear up a considerable distributed weight, but not very much of a +concentrated one. When the painted canvas cover is clapped on the +American line-tub, the boat looks as if it were pulling off with a +prodigious great wedding-cake to present to the whales. + +Both ends of the line are exposed; the lower end terminating in an +eye-splice or loop coming up from the bottom against the side of the +tub, and hanging over its edge completely disengaged from everything. +This arrangement of the lower end is necessary on two accounts. First: +In order to facilitate the fastening to it of an additional line from a +neighboring boat, in case the stricken whale should sound so deep as to +threaten to carry off the entire line originally attached to the +harpoon. In these instances, the whale of course is shifted like a mug +of ale, as it were, from the one boat to the other; though the first +boat always hovers at hand to assist its consort. Second: This +arrangement is indispensable for common safetys sake; for were the +lower end of the line in any way attached to the boat, and were the +whale then to run the line out to the end almost in a single, smoking +minute as he sometimes does, he would not stop there, for the doomed +boat would infallibly be dragged down after him into the profundity of +the sea; and in that case no town-crier would ever find her again. + +Before lowering the boat for the chase, the upper end of the line is +taken aft from the tub, and passing round the loggerhead there, is +again carried forward the entire length of the boat, resting crosswise +upon the loom or handle of every mans oar, so that it jogs against his +wrist in rowing; and also passing between the men, as they alternately +sit at the opposite gunwales, to the leaded chocks or grooves in the +extreme pointed prow of the boat, where a wooden pin or skewer the size +of a common quill, prevents it from slipping out. From the chocks it +hangs in a slight festoon over the bows, and is then passed inside the +boat again; and some ten or twenty fathoms (called box-line) being +coiled upon the box in the bows, it continues its way to the gunwale +still a little further aft, and is then attached to the short-warpthe +rope which is immediately connected with the harpoon; but previous to +that connexion, the short-warp goes through sundry mystifications too +tedious to detail. + +Thus the whale-line folds the whole boat in its complicated coils, +twisting and writhing around it in almost every direction. All the +oarsmen are involved in its perilous contortions; so that to the timid +eye of the landsman, they seem as Indian jugglers, with the deadliest +snakes sportively festooning their limbs. Nor can any son of mortal +woman, for the first time, seat himself amid those hempen intricacies, +and while straining his utmost at the oar, bethink him that at any +unknown instant the harpoon may be darted, and all these horrible +contortions be put in play like ringed lightnings; he cannot be thus +circumstanced without a shudder that makes the very marrow in his bones +to quiver in him like a shaken jelly. Yet habitstrange thing! what +cannot habit accomplish?Gayer sallies, more merry mirth, better jokes, +and brighter repartees, you never heard over your mahogany, than you +will hear over the half-inch white cedar of the whale-boat, when thus +hung in hangmans nooses; and, like the six burghers of Calais before +King Edward, the six men composing the crew pull into the jaws of +death, with a halter around every neck, as you may say. + +Perhaps a very little thought will now enable you to account for those +repeated whaling disasterssome few of which are casually chronicledof +this man or that man being taken out of the boat by the line, and lost. +For, when the line is darting out, to be seated then in the boat, is +like being seated in the midst of the manifold whizzings of a +steam-engine in full play, when every flying beam, and shaft, and +wheel, is grazing you. It is worse; for you cannot sit motionless in +the heart of these perils, because the boat is rocking like a cradle, +and you are pitched one way and the other, without the slightest +warning; and only by a certain self-adjusting buoyancy and +simultaneousness of volition and action, can you escape being made a +Mazeppa of, and run away with where the all-seeing sun himself could +never pierce you out. + +Again: as the profound calm which only apparently precedes and +prophesies of the storm, is perhaps more awful than the storm itself; +for, indeed, the calm is but the wrapper and envelope of the storm; and +contains it in itself, as the seemingly harmless rifle holds the fatal +powder, and the ball, and the explosion; so the graceful repose of the +line, as it silently serpentines about the oarsmen before being brought +into actual playthis is a thing which carries more of true terror than +any other aspect of this dangerous affair. But why say more? All men +live enveloped in whale-lines. All are born with halters round their +necks; but it is only when caught in the swift, sudden turn of death, +that mortals realize the silent, subtle, ever-present perils of life. +And if you be a philosopher, though seated in the whale-boat, you would +not at heart feel one whit more of terror, than though seated before +your evening fire with a poker, and not a harpoon, by your side. + + +CHAPTER 61. Stubb Kills a Whale. + +If to Starbuck the apparition of the Squid was a thing of portents, to +Queequeg it was quite a different object. + +When you see him quid, said the savage, honing his harpoon in the +bow of his hoisted boat, then you quick see him parm whale. + +The next day was exceedingly still and sultry, and with nothing special +to engage them, the Pequods crew could hardly resist the spell of +sleep induced by such a vacant sea. For this part of the Indian Ocean +through which we then were voyaging is not what whalemen call a lively +ground; that is, it affords fewer glimpses of porpoises, dolphins, +flying-fish, and other vivacious denizens of more stirring waters, than +those off the Rio de la Plata, or the in-shore ground off Peru. + +It was my turn to stand at the foremast-head; and with my shoulders +leaning against the slackened royal shrouds, to and fro I idly swayed +in what seemed an enchanted air. No resolution could withstand it; in +that dreamy mood losing all consciousness, at last my soul went out of +my body; though my body still continued to sway as a pendulum will, +long after the power which first moved it is withdrawn. + +Ere forgetfulness altogether came over me, I had noticed that the +seamen at the main and mizzen-mast-heads were already drowsy. So that +at last all three of us lifelessly swung from the spars, and for every +swing that we made there was a nod from below from the slumbering +helmsman. The waves, too, nodded their indolent crests; and across the +wide trance of the sea, east nodded to west, and the sun over all. + +Suddenly bubbles seemed bursting beneath my closed eyes; like vices my +hands grasped the shrouds; some invisible, gracious agency preserved +me; with a shock I came back to life. And lo! close under our lee, not +forty fathoms off, a gigantic Sperm Whale lay rolling in the water like +the capsized hull of a frigate, his broad, glossy back, of an Ethiopian +hue, glistening in the suns rays like a mirror. But lazily undulating +in the trough of the sea, and ever and anon tranquilly spouting his +vapory jet, the whale looked like a portly burgher smoking his pipe of +a warm afternoon. But that pipe, poor whale, was thy last. As if struck +by some enchanters wand, the sleepy ship and every sleeper in it all +at once started into wakefulness; and more than a score of voices from +all parts of the vessel, simultaneously with the three notes from +aloft, shouted forth the accustomed cry, as the great fish slowly and +regularly spouted the sparkling brine into the air. + +Clear away the boats! Luff! cried Ahab. And obeying his own order, he +dashed the helm down before the helmsman could handle the spokes. + +The sudden exclamations of the crew must have alarmed the whale; and +ere the boats were down, majestically turning, he swam away to the +leeward, but with such a steady tranquillity, and making so few ripples +as he swam, that thinking after all he might not as yet be alarmed, +Ahab gave orders that not an oar should be used, and no man must speak +but in whispers. So seated like Ontario Indians on the gunwales of the +boats, we swiftly but silently paddled along; the calm not admitting of +the noiseless sails being set. Presently, as we thus glided in chase, +the monster perpendicularly flitted his tail forty feet into the air, +and then sank out of sight like a tower swallowed up. + +There go flukes! was the cry, an announcement immediately followed by +Stubbs producing his match and igniting his pipe, for now a respite +was granted. After the full interval of his sounding had elapsed, the +whale rose again, and being now in advance of the smokers boat, and +much nearer to it than to any of the others, Stubb counted upon the +honor of the capture. It was obvious, now, that the whale had at length +become aware of his pursuers. All silence of cautiousness was therefore +no longer of use. Paddles were dropped, and oars came loudly into play. +And still puffing at his pipe, Stubb cheered on his crew to the +assault. + +Yes, a mighty change had come over the fish. All alive to his jeopardy, +he was going head out; that part obliquely projecting from the mad +yeast which he brewed.* + +*It will be seen in some other place of what a very light substance the +entire interior of the sperm whales enormous head consists. Though +apparently the most massive, it is by far the most buoyant part about +him. So that with ease he elevates it in the air, and invariably does +so when going at his utmost speed. Besides, such is the breadth of the +upper part of the front of his head, and such the tapering cut-water +formation of the lower part, that by obliquely elevating his head, he +thereby may be said to transform himself from a bluff-bowed sluggish +galliot into a sharppointed New York pilot-boat. + +Start her, start her, my men! Dont hurry yourselves; take plenty of +timebut start her; start her like thunder-claps, thats all, cried +Stubb, spluttering out the smoke as he spoke. Start her, now; give em +the long and strong stroke, Tashtego. Start her, Tash, my boystart +her, all; but keep cool, keep coolcucumbers is the wordeasy, +easyonly start her like grim death and grinning devils, and raise the +buried dead perpendicular out of their graves, boysthats all. Start +her! + +Woo-hoo! Wa-hee! screamed the Gay-Header in reply, raising some old +war-whoop to the skies; as every oarsman in the strained boat +involuntarily bounced forward with the one tremendous leading stroke +which the eager Indian gave. + +But his wild screams were answered by others quite as wild. Kee-hee! +Kee-hee! yelled Daggoo, straining forwards and backwards on his seat, +like a pacing tiger in his cage. + +Ka-la! Koo-loo! howled Queequeg, as if smacking his lips over a +mouthful of Grenadiers steak. And thus with oars and yells the keels +cut the sea. Meanwhile, Stubb retaining his place in the van, still +encouraged his men to the onset, all the while puffing the smoke from +his mouth. Like desperadoes they tugged and they strained, till the +welcome cry was heardStand up, Tashtego!give it to him! The harpoon +was hurled. Stern all! The oarsmen backed water; the same moment +something went hot and hissing along every one of their wrists. It was +the magical line. An instant before, Stubb had swiftly caught two +additional turns with it round the loggerhead, whence, by reason of its +increased rapid circlings, a hempen blue smoke now jetted up and +mingled with the steady fumes from his pipe. As the line passed round +and round the loggerhead; so also, just before reaching that point, it +blisteringly passed through and through both of Stubbs hands, from +which the hand-cloths, or squares of quilted canvas sometimes worn at +these times, had accidentally dropped. It was like holding an enemys +sharp two-edged sword by the blade, and that enemy all the time +striving to wrest it out of your clutch. + +Wet the line! wet the line! cried Stubb to the tub oarsman (him +seated by the tub) who, snatching off his hat, dashed sea-water into +it.* More turns were taken, so that the line began holding its place. +The boat now flew through the boiling water like a shark all fins. +Stubb and Tashtego here changed placesstem for sterna staggering +business truly in that rocking commotion. + +*Partly to show the indispensableness of this act, it may here be +stated, that, in the old Dutch fishery, a mop was used to dash the +running line with water; in many other ships, a wooden piggin, or +bailer, is set apart for that purpose. Your hat, however, is the most +convenient. + +From the vibrating line extending the entire length of the upper part +of the boat, and from its now being more tight than a harpstring, you +would have thought the craft had two keelsone cleaving the water, the +other the airas the boat churned on through both opposing elements at +once. A continual cascade played at the bows; a ceaseless whirling eddy +in her wake; and, at the slightest motion from within, even but of a +little finger, the vibrating, cracking craft canted over her spasmodic +gunwale into the sea. Thus they rushed; each man with might and main +clinging to his seat, to prevent being tossed to the foam; and the tall +form of Tashtego at the steering oar crouching almost double, in order +to bring down his centre of gravity. Whole Atlantics and Pacifics +seemed passed as they shot on their way, till at length the whale +somewhat slackened his flight. + +Haul inhaul in! cried Stubb to the bowsman! and, facing round +towards the whale, all hands began pulling the boat up to him, while +yet the boat was being towed on. Soon ranging up by his flank, Stubb, +firmly planting his knee in the clumsy cleat, darted dart after dart +into the flying fish; at the word of command, the boat alternately +sterning out of the way of the whales horrible wallow, and then +ranging up for another fling. + +The red tide now poured from all sides of the monster like brooks down +a hill. His tormented body rolled not in brine but in blood, which +bubbled and seethed for furlongs behind in their wake. The slanting sun +playing upon this crimson pond in the sea, sent back its reflection +into every face, so that they all glowed to each other like red men. +And all the while, jet after jet of white smoke was agonizingly shot +from the spiracle of the whale, and vehement puff after puff from the +mouth of the excited headsman; as at every dart, hauling in upon his +crooked lance (by the line attached to it), Stubb straightened it again +and again, by a few rapid blows against the gunwale, then again and +again sent it into the whale. + +Pull uppull up! he now cried to the bowsman, as the waning whale +relaxed in his wrath. Pull up!close to! and the boat ranged along +the fishs flank. When reaching far over the bow, Stubb slowly churned +his long sharp lance into the fish, and kept it there, carefully +churning and churning, as if cautiously seeking to feel after some gold +watch that the whale might have swallowed, and which he was fearful of +breaking ere he could hook it out. But that gold watch he sought was +the innermost life of the fish. And now it is struck; for, starting +from his trance into that unspeakable thing called his flurry, the +monster horribly wallowed in his blood, overwrapped himself in +impenetrable, mad, boiling spray, so that the imperilled craft, +instantly dropping astern, had much ado blindly to struggle out from +that phrensied twilight into the clear air of the day. + +And now abating in his flurry, the whale once more rolled out into +view; surging from side to side; spasmodically dilating and contracting +his spout-hole, with sharp, cracking, agonized respirations. At last, +gush after gush of clotted red gore, as if it had been the purple lees +of red wine, shot into the frighted air; and falling back again, ran +dripping down his motionless flanks into the sea. His heart had burst! + +Hes dead, Mr. Stubb, said Daggoo. + +Yes; both pipes smoked out! and withdrawing his own from his mouth, +Stubb scattered the dead ashes over the water; and, for a moment, stood +thoughtfully eyeing the vast corpse he had made. + + +CHAPTER 62. The Dart. + +A word concerning an incident in the last chapter. + +According to the invariable usage of the fishery, the whale-boat pushes +off from the ship, with the headsman or whale-killer as temporary +steersman, and the harpooneer or whale-fastener pulling the foremost +oar, the one known as the harpooneer-oar. Now it needs a strong, +nervous arm to strike the first iron into the fish; for often, in what +is called a long dart, the heavy implement has to be flung to the +distance of twenty or thirty feet. But however prolonged and exhausting +the chase, the harpooneer is expected to pull his oar meanwhile to the +uttermost; indeed, he is expected to set an example of superhuman +activity to the rest, not only by incredible rowing, but by repeated +loud and intrepid exclamations; and what it is to keep shouting at the +top of ones compass, while all the other muscles are strained and half +startedwhat that is none know but those who have tried it. For one, I +cannot bawl very heartily and work very recklessly at one and the same +time. In this straining, bawling state, then, with his back to the +fish, all at once the exhausted harpooneer hears the exciting +cryStand up, and give it to him! He now has to drop and secure his +oar, turn round on his centre half way, seize his harpoon from the +crotch, and with what little strength may remain, he essays to pitch it +somehow into the whale. No wonder, taking the whole fleet of whalemen +in a body, that out of fifty fair chances for a dart, not five are +successful; no wonder that so many hapless harpooneers are madly cursed +and disrated; no wonder that some of them actually burst their +blood-vessels in the boat; no wonder that some sperm whalemen are +absent four years with four barrels; no wonder that to many ship +owners, whaling is but a losing concern; for it is the harpooneer that +makes the voyage, and if you take the breath out of his body how can +you expect to find it there when most wanted! + +Again, if the dart be successful, then at the second critical instant, +that is, when the whale starts to run, the boatheader and harpooneer +likewise start to running fore and aft, to the imminent jeopardy of +themselves and every one else. It is then they change places; and the +headsman, the chief officer of the little craft, takes his proper +station in the bows of the boat. + +Now, I care not who maintains the contrary, but all this is both +foolish and unnecessary. The headsman should stay in the bows from +first to last; he should both dart the harpoon and the lance, and no +rowing whatever should be expected of him, except under circumstances +obvious to any fisherman. I know that this would sometimes involve a +slight loss of speed in the chase; but long experience in various +whalemen of more than one nation has convinced me that in the vast +majority of failures in the fishery, it has not by any means been so +much the speed of the whale as the before described exhaustion of the +harpooneer that has caused them. + +To insure the greatest efficiency in the dart, the harpooneers of this +world must start to their feet from out of idleness, and not from out +of toil. + + +CHAPTER 63. The Crotch. + +Out of the trunk, the branches grow; out of them, the twigs. So, in +productive subjects, grow the chapters. + +The crotch alluded to on a previous page deserves independent mention. +It is a notched stick of a peculiar form, some two feet in length, +which is perpendicularly inserted into the starboard gunwale near the +bow, for the purpose of furnishing a rest for the wooden extremity of +the harpoon, whose other naked, barbed end slopingly projects from the +prow. Thereby the weapon is instantly at hand to its hurler, who +snatches it up as readily from its rest as a backwoodsman swings his +rifle from the wall. It is customary to have two harpoons reposing in +the crotch, respectively called the first and second irons. + +But these two harpoons, each by its own cord, are both connected with +the line; the object being this: to dart them both, if possible, one +instantly after the other into the same whale; so that if, in the +coming drag, one should draw out, the other may still retain a hold. It +is a doubling of the chances. But it very often happens that owing to +the instantaneous, violent, convulsive running of the whale upon +receiving the first iron, it becomes impossible for the harpooneer, +however lightning-like in his movements, to pitch the second iron into +him. Nevertheless, as the second iron is already connected with the +line, and the line is running, hence that weapon must, at all events, +be anticipatingly tossed out of the boat, somehow and somewhere; else +the most terrible jeopardy would involve all hands. Tumbled into the +water, it accordingly is in such cases; the spare coils of box line +(mentioned in a preceding chapter) making this feat, in most instances, +prudently practicable. But this critical act is not always unattended +with the saddest and most fatal casualties. + +Furthermore: you must know that when the second iron is thrown +overboard, it thenceforth becomes a dangling, sharp-edged terror, +skittishly curvetting about both boat and whale, entangling the lines, +or cutting them, and making a prodigious sensation in all directions. +Nor, in general, is it possible to secure it again until the whale is +fairly captured and a corpse. + +Consider, now, how it must be in the case of four boats all engaging +one unusually strong, active, and knowing whale; when owing to these +qualities in him, as well as to the thousand concurring accidents of +such an audacious enterprise, eight or ten loose second irons may be +simultaneously dangling about him. For, of course, each boat is +supplied with several harpoons to bend on to the line should the first +one be ineffectually darted without recovery. All these particulars are +faithfully narrated here, as they will not fail to elucidate several +most important, however intricate passages, in scenes hereafter to be +painted. + + +CHAPTER 64. Stubbs Supper. + +Stubbs whale had been killed some distance from the ship. It was a +calm; so, forming a tandem of three boats, we commenced the slow +business of towing the trophy to the Pequod. And now, as we eighteen +men with our thirty-six arms, and one hundred and eighty thumbs and +fingers, slowly toiled hour after hour upon that inert, sluggish corpse +in the sea; and it seemed hardly to budge at all, except at long +intervals; good evidence was hereby furnished of the enormousness of +the mass we moved. For, upon the great canal of Hang-Ho, or whatever +they call it, in China, four or five laborers on the foot-path will +draw a bulky freighted junk at the rate of a mile an hour; but this +grand argosy we towed heavily forged along, as if laden with pig-lead +in bulk. + +Darkness came on; but three lights up and down in the Pequods +main-rigging dimly guided our way; till drawing nearer we saw Ahab +dropping one of several more lanterns over the bulwarks. Vacantly +eyeing the heaving whale for a moment, he issued the usual orders for +securing it for the night, and then handing his lantern to a seaman, +went his way into the cabin, and did not come forward again until +morning. + +Though, in overseeing the pursuit of this whale, Captain Ahab had +evinced his customary activity, to call it so; yet now that the +creature was dead, some vague dissatisfaction, or impatience, or +despair, seemed working in him; as if the sight of that dead body +reminded him that Moby Dick was yet to be slain; and though a thousand +other whales were brought to his ship, all that would not one jot +advance his grand, monomaniac object. Very soon you would have thought +from the sound on the Pequods decks, that all hands were preparing to +cast anchor in the deep; for heavy chains are being dragged along the +deck, and thrust rattling out of the port-holes. But by those clanking +links, the vast corpse itself, not the ship, is to be moored. Tied by +the head to the stern, and by the tail to the bows, the whale now lies +with its black hull close to the vessels and seen through the darkness +of the night, which obscured the spars and rigging aloft, the twoship +and whale, seemed yoked together like colossal bullocks, whereof one +reclines while the other remains standing.* + +*A little item may as well be related here. The strongest and most +reliable hold which the ship has upon the whale when moored alongside, +is by the flukes or tail; and as from its greater density that part is +relatively heavier than any other (excepting the side-fins), its +flexibility even in death, causes it to sink low beneath the surface; +so that with the hand you cannot get at it from the boat, in order to +put the chain round it. But this difficulty is ingeniously overcome: a +small, strong line is prepared with a wooden float at its outer end, +and a weight in its middle, while the other end is secured to the ship. +By adroit management the wooden float is made to rise on the other side +of the mass, so that now having girdled the whale, the chain is readily +made to follow suit; and being slipped along the body, is at last +locked fast round the smallest part of the tail, at the point of +junction with its broad flukes or lobes. + +If moody Ahab was now all quiescence, at least so far as could be known +on deck, Stubb, his second mate, flushed with conquest, betrayed an +unusual but still good-natured excitement. Such an unwonted bustle was +he in that the staid Starbuck, his official superior, quietly resigned +to him for the time the sole management of affairs. One small, helping +cause of all this liveliness in Stubb, was soon made strangely +manifest. Stubb was a high liver; he was somewhat intemperately fond of +the whale as a flavorish thing to his palate. + +A steak, a steak, ere I sleep! You, Daggoo! overboard you go, and cut +me one from his small! + +Here be it known, that though these wild fishermen do not, as a general +thing, and according to the great military maxim, make the enemy defray +the current expenses of the war (at least before realizing the proceeds +of the voyage), yet now and then you find some of these Nantucketers +who have a genuine relish for that particular part of the Sperm Whale +designated by Stubb; comprising the tapering extremity of the body. + +About midnight that steak was cut and cooked; and lighted by two +lanterns of sperm oil, Stubb stoutly stood up to his spermaceti supper +at the capstan-head, as if that capstan were a sideboard. Nor was Stubb +the only banqueter on whales flesh that night. Mingling their +mumblings with his own mastications, thousands on thousands of sharks, +swarming round the dead leviathan, smackingly feasted on its fatness. +The few sleepers below in their bunks were often startled by the sharp +slapping of their tails against the hull, within a few inches of the +sleepers hearts. Peering over the side you could just see them (as +before you heard them) wallowing in the sullen, black waters, and +turning over on their backs as they scooped out huge globular pieces of +the whale of the bigness of a human head. This particular feat of the +shark seems all but miraculous. How at such an apparently unassailable +surface, they contrive to gouge out such symmetrical mouthfuls, remains +a part of the universal problem of all things. The mark they thus leave +on the whale, may best be likened to the hollow made by a carpenter in +countersinking for a screw. + +Though amid all the smoking horror and diabolism of a sea-fight, sharks +will be seen longingly gazing up to the ships decks, like hungry dogs +round a table where red meat is being carved, ready to bolt down every +killed man that is tossed to them; and though, while the valiant +butchers over the deck-table are thus cannibally carving each others +live meat with carving-knives all gilded and tasselled, the sharks, +also, with their jewel-hilted mouths, are quarrelsomely carving away +under the table at the dead meat; and though, were you to turn the +whole affair upside down, it would still be pretty much the same thing, +that is to say, a shocking sharkish business enough for all parties; +and though sharks also are the invariable outriders of all slave ships +crossing the Atlantic, systematically trotting alongside, to be handy +in case a parcel is to be carried anywhere, or a dead slave to be +decently buried; and though one or two other like instances might be +set down, touching the set terms, places, and occasions, when sharks do +most socially congregate, and most hilariously feast; yet is there no +conceivable time or occasion when you will find them in such countless +numbers, and in gayer or more jovial spirits, than around a dead sperm +whale, moored by night to a whaleship at sea. If you have never seen +that sight, then suspend your decision about the propriety of +devil-worship, and the expediency of conciliating the devil. + +But, as yet, Stubb heeded not the mumblings of the banquet that was +going on so nigh him, no more than the sharks heeded the smacking of +his own epicurean lips. + +Cook, cook!wheres that old Fleece? he cried at length, widening his +legs still further, as if to form a more secure base for his supper; +and, at the same time darting his fork into the dish, as if stabbing +with his lance; cook, you cook!sail this way, cook! + +The old black, not in any very high glee at having been previously +roused from his warm hammock at a most unseasonable hour, came +shambling along from his galley, for, like many old blacks, there was +something the matter with his knee-pans, which he did not keep well +scoured like his other pans; this old Fleece, as they called him, came +shuffling and limping along, assisting his step with his tongs, which, +after a clumsy fashion, were made of straightened iron hoops; this old +Ebony floundered along, and in obedience to the word of command, came +to a dead stop on the opposite side of Stubbs sideboard; when, with +both hands folded before him, and resting on his two-legged cane, he +bowed his arched back still further over, at the same time sideways +inclining his head, so as to bring his best ear into play. + +Cook, said Stubb, rapidly lifting a rather reddish morsel to his +mouth, dont you think this steak is rather overdone? Youve been +beating this steak too much, cook; its too tender. Dont I always say +that to be good, a whale-steak must be tough? There are those sharks +now over the side, dont you see they prefer it tough and rare? What a +shindy they are kicking up! Cook, go and talk to em; tell em they are +welcome to help themselves civilly, and in moderation, but they must +keep quiet. Blast me, if I can hear my own voice. Away, cook, and +deliver my message. Here, take this lantern, snatching one from his +sideboard; now then, go and preach to em! + +Sullenly taking the offered lantern, old Fleece limped across the deck +to the bulwarks; and then, with one hand dropping his light low over +the sea, so as to get a good view of his congregation, with the other +hand he solemnly flourished his tongs, and leaning far over the side in +a mumbling voice began addressing the sharks, while Stubb, softly +crawling behind, overheard all that was said. + +Fellow-critters: Ise ordered here to say dat you must stop dat dam +noise dare. You hear? Stop dat dam smackin ob de lip! Massa Stubb say +dat you can fill your dam bellies up to de hatchings, but by Gor! you +must stop dat dam racket! + +Cook, here interposed Stubb, accompanying the word with a sudden slap +on the shoulder,Cook! why, damn your eyes, you mustnt swear that way +when youre preaching. Thats no way to convert sinners, cook! + +Who dat? Den preach to him yourself, sullenly turning to go. + +No, cook; go on, go on. + +Well, den, Belubed fellow-critters: + +Right! exclaimed Stubb, approvingly, coax em to it; try that, and +Fleece continued. + +Do you is all sharks, and by natur wery woracious, yet I zay to you, +fellow-critters, dat dat woraciousnesstop dat dam slappin ob de +tail! How you tink to hear, spose you keep up such a dam slappin and +bitin dare? + +Cook, cried Stubb, collaring him, I wont have that swearing. Talk +to em gentlemanly. + +Once more the sermon proceeded. + +Your woraciousness, fellow-critters, I dont blame ye so much for; dat +is natur, and cant be helped; but to gobern dat wicked natur, dat is +de pint. You is sharks, sartin; but if you gobern de shark in you, why +den you be angel; for all angel is noting more dan de shark well +goberned. Now, look here, bredren, just try wonst to be cibil, a +helping yourselbs from dat whale. Dont be tearin de blubber out your +neighbours mout, I say. Is not one shark dood right as toder to dat +whale? And, by Gor, none on you has de right to dat whale; dat whale +belong to some one else. I know some o you has berry brig mout, +brigger dan oders; but den de brig mouts sometimes has de small +bellies; so dat de brigness of de mout is not to swaller wid, but to +bit off de blubber for de small fry ob sharks, dat cant get into de +scrouge to help demselves. + +Well done, old Fleece! cried Stubb, thats Christianity; go on. + +No use goin on; de dam willains will keep a scougin and slappin +each oder, Massa Stubb; dey dont hear one word; no use a-preachin to +such dam guttons as you call em, till dare bellies is full, and dare +bellies is bottomless; and when dey do get em full, dey wont hear you +den; for den dey sink in de sea, go fast to sleep on de coral, and +cant hear noting at all, no more, for eber and eber. + +Upon my soul, I am about of the same opinion; so give the benediction, +Fleece, and Ill away to my supper. + +Upon this, Fleece, holding both hands over the fishy mob, raised his +shrill voice, and cried + +Cussed fellow-critters! Kick up de damndest row as ever you can; fill +your dam bellies till dey bustand den die. + +Now, cook, said Stubb, resuming his supper at the capstan; stand +just where you stood before, there, over against me, and pay particular +attention. + +All dention, said Fleece, again stooping over upon his tongs in the +desired position. + +Well, said Stubb, helping himself freely meanwhile; I shall now go +back to the subject of this steak. In the first place, how old are you, +cook? + +What dat do wid de teak, said the old black, testily. + +Silence! How old are you, cook? + +Bout ninety, dey say, he gloomily muttered. + +And you have lived in this world hard upon one hundred years, cook, +and dont know yet how to cook a whale-steak? rapidly bolting another +mouthful at the last word, so that morsel seemed a continuation of the +question. Where were you born, cook? + +Hind de hatchway, in ferry-boat, goin ober de Roanoke. + +Born in a ferry-boat! Thats queer, too. But I want to know what +country you were born in, cook! + +Didnt I say de Roanoke country? he cried sharply. + +No, you didnt, cook; but Ill tell you what Im coming to, cook. You +must go home and be born over again; you dont know how to cook a +whale-steak yet. + +Bress my soul, if I cook noder one, he growled, angrily, turning +round to depart. + +Come back, cook;here, hand me those tongs;now take that bit of steak +there, and tell me if you think that steak cooked as it should be? Take +it, I sayholding the tongs towards himtake it, and taste it. + +Faintly smacking his withered lips over it for a moment, the old negro +muttered, Best cooked teak I eber taste; joosy, berry joosy. + +Cook, said Stubb, squaring himself once more; do you belong to the +church? + +Passed one once in Cape-Down, said the old man sullenly. + +And you have once in your life passed a holy church in Cape-Town, +where you doubtless overheard a holy parson addressing his hearers as +his beloved fellow-creatures, have you, cook! And yet you come here, +and tell me such a dreadful lie as you did just now, eh? said Stubb. +Where do you expect to go to, cook? + +Go to bed berry soon, he mumbled, half-turning as he spoke. + +Avast! heave to! I mean when you die, cook. Its an awful question. +Now whats your answer? + +When dis old brack man dies, said the negro slowly, changing his +whole air and demeanor, he hisself wont go nowhere; but some bressed +angel will come and fetch him. + +Fetch him? How? In a coach and four, as they fetched Elijah? And fetch +him where? + +Up dere, said Fleece, holding his tongs straight over his head, and +keeping it there very solemnly. + +So, then, you expect to go up into our main-top, do you, cook, when +you are dead? But dont you know the higher you climb, the colder it +gets? Main-top, eh? + +Didnt say dat tall, said Fleece, again in the sulks. + +You said up there, didnt you? and now look yourself, and see where +your tongs are pointing. But, perhaps you expect to get into heaven by +crawling through the lubbers hole, cook; but, no, no, cook, you dont +get there, except you go the regular way, round by the rigging. Its a +ticklish business, but must be done, or else its no go. But none of us +are in heaven yet. Drop your tongs, cook, and hear my orders. Do ye +hear? Hold your hat in one hand, and clap tother atop of your heart, +when Im giving my orders, cook. What! that your heart, there?thats +your gizzard! Aloft! aloft!thats itnow you have it. Hold it there +now, and pay attention. + +All dention, said the old black, with both hands placed as desired, +vainly wriggling his grizzled head, as if to get both ears in front at +one and the same time. + +Well then, cook, you see this whale-steak of yours was so very bad, +that I have put it out of sight as soon as possible; you see that, +dont you? Well, for the future, when you cook another whale-steak for +my private table here, the capstan, Ill tell you what to do so as not +to spoil it by overdoing. Hold the steak in one hand, and show a live +coal to it with the other; that done, dish it; dye hear? And now +to-morrow, cook, when we are cutting in the fish, be sure you stand by +to get the tips of his fins; have them put in pickle. As for the ends +of the flukes, have them soused, cook. There, now ye may go. + +But Fleece had hardly got three paces off, when he was recalled. + +Cook, give me cutlets for supper to-morrow night in the mid-watch. +Dye hear? away you sail, then.Halloa! stop! make a bow before you +go.Avast heaving again! Whale-balls for breakfastdont forget. + +Wish, by gor! whale eat him, stead of him eat whale. Im bressed if +he aint more of shark dan Massa Shark hisself, muttered the old man, +limping away; with which sage ejaculation he went to his hammock. + + +CHAPTER 65. The Whale as a Dish. + +That mortal man should feed upon the creature that feeds his lamp, and, +like Stubb, eat him by his own light, as you may say; this seems so +outlandish a thing that one must needs go a little into the history and +philosophy of it. + +It is upon record, that three centuries ago the tongue of the Right +Whale was esteemed a great delicacy in France, and commanded large +prices there. Also, that in Henry VIIIths time, a certain cook of the +court obtained a handsome reward for inventing an admirable sauce to be +eaten with barbacued porpoises, which, you remember, are a species of +whale. Porpoises, indeed, are to this day considered fine eating. The +meat is made into balls about the size of billiard balls, and being +well seasoned and spiced might be taken for turtle-balls or veal balls. +The old monks of Dunfermline were very fond of them. They had a great +porpoise grant from the crown. + +The fact is, that among his hunters at least, the whale would by all +hands be considered a noble dish, were there not so much of him; but +when you come to sit down before a meat-pie nearly one hundred feet +long, it takes away your appetite. Only the most unprejudiced of men +like Stubb, nowadays partake of cooked whales; but the Esquimaux are +not so fastidious. We all know how they live upon whales, and have rare +old vintages of prime old train oil. Zogranda, one of their most famous +doctors, recommends strips of blubber for infants, as being exceedingly +juicy and nourishing. And this reminds me that certain Englishmen, who +long ago were accidentally left in Greenland by a whaling vesselthat +these men actually lived for several months on the mouldy scraps of +whales which had been left ashore after trying out the blubber. Among +the Dutch whalemen these scraps are called fritters; which, indeed, +they greatly resemble, being brown and crisp, and smelling something +like old Amsterdam housewives dough-nuts or oly-cooks, when fresh. +They have such an eatable look that the most self-denying stranger can +hardly keep his hands off. + +But what further depreciates the whale as a civilized dish, is his +exceeding richness. He is the great prize ox of the sea, too fat to be +delicately good. Look at his hump, which would be as fine eating as the +buffalos (which is esteemed a rare dish), were it not such a solid +pyramid of fat. But the spermaceti itself, how bland and creamy that +is; like the transparent, half-jellied, white meat of a cocoanut in the +third month of its growth, yet far too rich to supply a substitute for +butter. Nevertheless, many whalemen have a method of absorbing it into +some other substance, and then partaking of it. In the long try watches +of the night it is a common thing for the seamen to dip their +ship-biscuit into the huge oil-pots and let them fry there awhile. Many +a good supper have I thus made. + +In the case of a small Sperm Whale the brains are accounted a fine +dish. The casket of the skull is broken into with an axe, and the two +plump, whitish lobes being withdrawn (precisely resembling two large +puddings), they are then mixed with flour, and cooked into a most +delectable mess, in flavor somewhat resembling calves head, which is +quite a dish among some epicures; and every one knows that some young +bucks among the epicures, by continually dining upon calves brains, by +and by get to have a little brains of their own, so as to be able to +tell a calfs head from their own heads; which, indeed, requires +uncommon discrimination. And that is the reason why a young buck with +an intelligent looking calfs head before him, is somehow one of the +saddest sights you can see. The head looks a sort of reproachfully at +him, with an Et tu Brute! expression. + +It is not, perhaps, entirely because the whale is so excessively +unctuous that landsmen seem to regard the eating of him with +abhorrence; that appears to result, in some way, from the consideration +before mentioned: _i.e._ that a man should eat a newly murdered thing +of the sea, and eat it too by its own light. But no doubt the first man +that ever murdered an ox was regarded as a murderer; perhaps he was +hung; and if he had been put on his trial by oxen, he certainly would +have been; and he certainly deserved it if any murderer does. Go to the +meat-market of a Saturday night and see the crowds of live bipeds +staring up at the long rows of dead quadrupeds. Does not that sight +take a tooth out of the cannibals jaw? Cannibals? who is not a +cannibal? I tell you it will be more tolerable for the Fejee that +salted down a lean missionary in his cellar against a coming famine; it +will be more tolerable for that provident Fejee, I say, in the day of +judgment, than for thee, civilized and enlightened gourmand, who +nailest geese to the ground and feastest on their bloated livers in thy +pat-de-foie-gras. + +But Stubb, he eats the whale by its own light, does he? and that is +adding insult to injury, is it? Look at your knife-handle, there, my +civilized and enlightened gourmand dining off that roast beef, what is +that handle made of?what but the bones of the brother of the very ox +you are eating? And what do you pick your teeth with, after devouring +that fat goose? With a feather of the same fowl. And with what quill +did the Secretary of the Society for the Suppression of Cruelty to +Ganders formally indite his circulars? It is only within the last month +or two that that society passed a resolution to patronize nothing but +steel pens. + + +CHAPTER 66. The Shark Massacre. + +When in the Southern Fishery, a captured Sperm Whale, after long and +weary toil, is brought alongside late at night, it is not, as a general +thing at least, customary to proceed at once to the business of cutting +him in. For that business is an exceedingly laborious one; is not very +soon completed; and requires all hands to set about it. Therefore, the +common usage is to take in all sail; lash the helm alee; and then send +every one below to his hammock till daylight, with the reservation +that, until that time, anchor-watches shall be kept; that is, two and +two for an hour, each couple, the crew in rotation shall mount the deck +to see that all goes well. + +But sometimes, especially upon the Line in the Pacific, this plan will +not answer at all; because such incalculable hosts of sharks gather +round the moored carcase, that were he left so for six hours, say, on a +stretch, little more than the skeleton would be visible by morning. In +most other parts of the ocean, however, where these fish do not so +largely abound, their wondrous voracity can be at times considerably +diminished, by vigorously stirring them up with sharp whaling-spades, a +procedure notwithstanding, which, in some instances, only seems to +tickle them into still greater activity. But it was not thus in the +present case with the Pequods sharks; though, to be sure, any man +unaccustomed to such sights, to have looked over her side that night, +would have almost thought the whole round sea was one huge cheese, and +those sharks the maggots in it. + +Nevertheless, upon Stubb setting the anchor-watch after his supper was +concluded; and when, accordingly, Queequeg and a forecastle seaman came +on deck, no small excitement was created among the sharks; for +immediately suspending the cutting stages over the side, and lowering +three lanterns, so that they cast long gleams of light over the turbid +sea, these two mariners, darting their long whaling-spades, kept up an +incessant murdering of the sharks,* by striking the keen steel deep +into their skulls, seemingly their only vital part. But in the foamy +confusion of their mixed and struggling hosts, the marksmen could not +always hit their mark; and this brought about new revelations of the +incredible ferocity of the foe. They viciously snapped, not only at +each others disembowelments, but like flexible bows, bent round, and +bit their own; till those entrails seemed swallowed over and over again +by the same mouth, to be oppositely voided by the gaping wound. Nor was +this all. It was unsafe to meddle with the corpses and ghosts of these +creatures. A sort of generic or Pantheistic vitality seemed to lurk in +their very joints and bones, after what might be called the individual +life had departed. Killed and hoisted on deck for the sake of his skin, +one of these sharks almost took poor Queequegs hand off, when he tried +to shut down the dead lid of his murderous jaw. + +*The whaling-spade used for cutting-in is made of the very best steel; +is about the bigness of a mans spread hand; and in general shape, +corresponds to the garden implement after which it is named; only its +sides are perfectly flat, and its upper end considerably narrower than +the lower. This weapon is always kept as sharp as possible; and when +being used is occasionally honed, just like a razor. In its socket, a +stiff pole, from twenty to thirty feet long, is inserted for a handle. + +Queequeg no care what god made him shark, said the savage, +agonizingly lifting his hand up and down; wedder Fejee god or +Nantucket god; but de god wat made shark must be one dam Ingin. + + +CHAPTER 67. Cutting In. + +It was a Saturday night, and such a Sabbath as followed! Ex officio +professors of Sabbath breaking are all whalemen. The ivory Pequod was +turned into what seemed a shamble; every sailor a butcher. You would +have thought we were offering up ten thousand red oxen to the sea gods. + +In the first place, the enormous cutting tackles, among other ponderous +things comprising a cluster of blocks generally painted green, and +which no single man can possibly liftthis vast bunch of grapes was +swayed up to the main-top and firmly lashed to the lower mast-head, the +strongest point anywhere above a ships deck. The end of the +hawser-like rope winding through these intricacies, was then conducted +to the windlass, and the huge lower block of the tackles was swung over +the whale; to this block the great blubber hook, weighing some one +hundred pounds, was attached. And now suspended in stages over the +side, Starbuck and Stubb, the mates, armed with their long spades, +began cutting a hole in the body for the insertion of the hook just +above the nearest of the two side-fins. This done, a broad, +semicircular line is cut round the hole, the hook is inserted, and the +main body of the crew striking up a wild chorus, now commence heaving +in one dense crowd at the windlass. When instantly, the entire ship +careens over on her side; every bolt in her starts like the nail-heads +of an old house in frosty weather; she trembles, quivers, and nods her +frighted mast-heads to the sky. More and more she leans over to the +whale, while every gasping heave of the windlass is answered by a +helping heave from the billows; till at last, a swift, startling snap +is heard; with a great swash the ship rolls upwards and backwards from +the whale, and the triumphant tackle rises into sight dragging after it +the disengaged semicircular end of the first strip of blubber. Now as +the blubber envelopes the whale precisely as the rind does an orange, +so is it stripped off from the body precisely as an orange is sometimes +stripped by spiralizing it. For the strain constantly kept up by the +windlass continually keeps the whale rolling over and over in the +water, and as the blubber in one strip uniformly peels off along the +line called the scarf, simultaneously cut by the spades of Starbuck +and Stubb, the mates; and just as fast as it is thus peeled off, and +indeed by that very act itself, it is all the time being hoisted higher +and higher aloft till its upper end grazes the main-top; the men at the +windlass then cease heaving, and for a moment or two the prodigious +blood-dripping mass sways to and fro as if let down from the sky, and +every one present must take good heed to dodge it when it swings, else +it may box his ears and pitch him headlong overboard. + +One of the attending harpooneers now advances with a long, keen weapon +called a boarding-sword, and watching his chance he dexterously slices +out a considerable hole in the lower part of the swaying mass. Into +this hole, the end of the second alternating great tackle is then +hooked so as to retain a hold upon the blubber, in order to prepare for +what follows. Whereupon, this accomplished swordsman, warning all hands +to stand off, once more makes a scientific dash at the mass, and with a +few sidelong, desperate, lunging slicings, severs it completely in +twain; so that while the short lower part is still fast, the long upper +strip, called a blanket-piece, swings clear, and is all ready for +lowering. The heavers forward now resume their song, and while the one +tackle is peeling and hoisting a second strip from the whale, the other +is slowly slackened away, and down goes the first strip through the +main hatchway right beneath, into an unfurnished parlor called the +blubber-room. Into this twilight apartment sundry nimble hands keep +coiling away the long blanket-piece as if it were a great live mass of +plaited serpents. And thus the work proceeds; the two tackles hoisting +and lowering simultaneously; both whale and windlass heaving, the +heavers singing, the blubber-room gentlemen coiling, the mates +scarfing, the ship straining, and all hands swearing occasionally, by +way of assuaging the general friction. + + +CHAPTER 68. The Blanket. + +I have given no small attention to that not unvexed subject, the skin +of the whale. I have had controversies about it with experienced +whalemen afloat, and learned naturalists ashore. My original opinion +remains unchanged; but it is only an opinion. + +The question is, what and where is the skin of the whale? Already you +know what his blubber is. That blubber is something of the consistence +of firm, close-grained beef, but tougher, more elastic and compact, and +ranges from eight or ten to twelve and fifteen inches in thickness. + +Now, however preposterous it may at first seem to talk of any +creatures skin as being of that sort of consistence and thickness, yet +in point of fact these are no arguments against such a presumption; +because you cannot raise any other dense enveloping layer from the +whales body but that same blubber; and the outermost enveloping layer +of any animal, if reasonably dense, what can that be but the skin? +True, from the unmarred dead body of the whale, you may scrape off with +your hand an infinitely thin, transparent substance, somewhat +resembling the thinnest shreds of isinglass, only it is almost as +flexible and soft as satin; that is, previous to being dried, when it +not only contracts and thickens, but becomes rather hard and brittle. I +have several such dried bits, which I use for marks in my whale-books. +It is transparent, as I said before; and being laid upon the printed +page, I have sometimes pleased myself with fancying it exerted a +magnifying influence. At any rate, it is pleasant to read about whales +through their own spectacles, as you may say. But what I am driving at +here is this. That same infinitely thin, isinglass substance, which, I +admit, invests the entire body of the whale, is not so much to be +regarded as the skin of the creature, as the skin of the skin, so to +speak; for it were simply ridiculous to say, that the proper skin of +the tremendous whale is thinner and more tender than the skin of a +new-born child. But no more of this. + +Assuming the blubber to be the skin of the whale; then, when this skin, +as in the case of a very large Sperm Whale, will yield the bulk of one +hundred barrels of oil; and, when it is considered that, in quantity, +or rather weight, that oil, in its expressed state, is only three +fourths, and not the entire substance of the coat; some idea may hence +be had of the enormousness of that animated mass, a mere part of whose +mere integument yields such a lake of liquid as that. Reckoning ten +barrels to the ton, you have ten tons for the net weight of only three +quarters of the stuff of the whales skin. + +In life, the visible surface of the Sperm Whale is not the least among +the many marvels he presents. Almost invariably it is all over +obliquely crossed and re-crossed with numberless straight marks in +thick array, something like those in the finest Italian line +engravings. But these marks do not seem to be impressed upon the +isinglass substance above mentioned, but seem to be seen through it, as +if they were engraved upon the body itself. Nor is this all. In some +instances, to the quick, observant eye, those linear marks, as in a +veritable engraving, but afford the ground for far other delineations. +These are hieroglyphical; that is, if you call those mysterious cyphers +on the walls of pyramids hieroglyphics, then that is the proper word to +use in the present connexion. By my retentive memory of the +hieroglyphics upon one Sperm Whale in particular, I was much struck +with a plate representing the old Indian characters chiselled on the +famous hieroglyphic palisades on the banks of the Upper Mississippi. +Like those mystic rocks, too, the mystic-marked whale remains +undecipherable. This allusion to the Indian rocks reminds me of another +thing. Besides all the other phenomena which the exterior of the Sperm +Whale presents, he not seldom displays the back, and more especially +his flanks, effaced in great part of the regular linear appearance, by +reason of numerous rude scratches, altogether of an irregular, random +aspect. I should say that those New England rocks on the sea-coast, +which Agassiz imagines to bear the marks of violent scraping contact +with vast floating icebergsI should say, that those rocks must not a +little resemble the Sperm Whale in this particular. It also seems to me +that such scratches in the whale are probably made by hostile contact +with other whales; for I have most remarked them in the large, +full-grown bulls of the species. + +A word or two more concerning this matter of the skin or blubber of the +whale. It has already been said, that it is stript from him in long +pieces, called blanket-pieces. Like most sea-terms, this one is very +happy and significant. For the whale is indeed wrapt up in his blubber +as in a real blanket or counterpane; or, still better, an Indian poncho +slipt over his head, and skirting his extremity. It is by reason of +this cosy blanketing of his body, that the whale is enabled to keep +himself comfortable in all weathers, in all seas, times, and tides. +What would become of a Greenland whale, say, in those shuddering, icy +seas of the North, if unsupplied with his cosy surtout? True, other +fish are found exceedingly brisk in those Hyperborean waters; but +these, be it observed, are your cold-blooded, lungless fish, whose very +bellies are refrigerators; creatures, that warm themselves under the +lee of an iceberg, as a traveller in winter would bask before an inn +fire; whereas, like man, the whale has lungs and warm blood. Freeze his +blood, and he dies. How wonderful is it thenexcept after +explanationthat this great monster, to whom corporeal warmth is as +indispensable as it is to man; how wonderful that he should be found at +home, immersed to his lips for life in those Arctic waters! where, when +seamen fall overboard, they are sometimes found, months afterwards, +perpendicularly frozen into the hearts of fields of ice, as a fly is +found glued in amber. But more surprising is it to know, as has been +proved by experiment, that the blood of a Polar whale is warmer than +that of a Borneo negro in summer. + +It does seem to me, that herein we see the rare virtue of a strong +individual vitality, and the rare virtue of thick walls, and the rare +virtue of interior spaciousness. Oh, man! admire and model thyself +after the whale! Do thou, too, remain warm among ice. Do thou, too, +live in this world without being of it. Be cool at the equator; keep +thy blood fluid at the Pole. Like the great dome of St. Peters, and +like the great whale, retain, O man! in all seasons a temperature of +thine own. + +But how easy and how hopeless to teach these fine things! Of erections, +how few are domed like St. Peters! of creatures, how few vast as the +whale! + + +CHAPTER 69. The Funeral. + +Haul in the chains! Let the carcase go astern! + +The vast tackles have now done their duty. The peeled white body of the +beheaded whale flashes like a marble sepulchre; though changed in hue, +it has not perceptibly lost anything in bulk. It is still colossal. +Slowly it floats more and more away, the water round it torn and +splashed by the insatiate sharks, and the air above vexed with +rapacious flights of screaming fowls, whose beaks are like so many +insulting poniards in the whale. The vast white headless phantom floats +further and further from the ship, and every rod that it so floats, +what seem square roods of sharks and cubic roods of fowls, augment the +murderous din. For hours and hours from the almost stationary ship that +hideous sight is seen. Beneath the unclouded and mild azure sky, upon +the fair face of the pleasant sea, wafted by the joyous breezes, that +great mass of death floats on and on, till lost in infinite +perspectives. + +Theres a most doleful and most mocking funeral! The sea-vultures all +in pious mourning, the air-sharks all punctiliously in black or +speckled. In life but few of them would have helped the whale, I ween, +if peradventure he had needed it; but upon the banquet of his funeral +they most piously do pounce. Oh, horrible vultureism of earth! from +which not the mightiest whale is free. + +Nor is this the end. Desecrated as the body is, a vengeful ghost +survives and hovers over it to scare. Espied by some timid man-of-war +or blundering discovery-vessel from afar, when the distance obscuring +the swarming fowls, nevertheless still shows the white mass floating in +the sun, and the white spray heaving high against it; straightway the +whales unharming corpse, with trembling fingers is set down in the +log_shoals, rocks, and breakers hereabouts: beware!_ And for years +afterwards, perhaps, ships shun the place; leaping over it as silly +sheep leap over a vacuum, because their leader originally leaped there +when a stick was held. Theres your law of precedents; theres your +utility of traditions; theres the story of your obstinate survival of +old beliefs never bottomed on the earth, and now not even hovering in +the air! Theres orthodoxy! + +Thus, while in life the great whales body may have been a real terror +to his foes, in his death his ghost becomes a powerless panic to a +world. + +Are you a believer in ghosts, my friend? There are other ghosts than +the Cock-Lane one, and far deeper men than Doctor Johnson who believe +in them. + + +CHAPTER 70. The Sphynx. + +It should not have been omitted that previous to completely stripping +the body of the leviathan, he was beheaded. Now, the beheading of the +Sperm Whale is a scientific anatomical feat, upon which experienced +whale surgeons very much pride themselves: and not without reason. + +Consider that the whale has nothing that can properly be called a neck; +on the contrary, where his head and body seem to join, there, in that +very place, is the thickest part of him. Remember, also, that the +surgeon must operate from above, some eight or ten feet intervening +between him and his subject, and that subject almost hidden in a +discoloured, rolling, and oftentimes tumultuous and bursting sea. Bear +in mind, too, that under these untoward circumstances he has to cut +many feet deep in the flesh; and in that subterraneous manner, without +so much as getting one single peep into the ever-contracting gash thus +made, he must skilfully steer clear of all adjacent, interdicted parts, +and exactly divide the spine at a critical point hard by its insertion +into the skull. Do you not marvel, then, at Stubbs boast, that he +demanded but ten minutes to behead a sperm whale? + +When first severed, the head is dropped astern and held there by a +cable till the body is stripped. That done, if it belong to a small +whale it is hoisted on deck to be deliberately disposed of. But, with a +full grown leviathan this is impossible; for the sperm whales head +embraces nearly one third of his entire bulk, and completely to suspend +such a burden as that, even by the immense tackles of a whaler, this +were as vain a thing as to attempt weighing a Dutch barn in jewellers +scales. + +The Pequods whale being decapitated and the body stripped, the head +was hoisted against the ships sideabout half way out of the sea, so +that it might yet in great part be buoyed up by its native element. And +there with the strained craft steeply leaning over to it, by reason of +the enormous downward drag from the lower mast-head, and every yard-arm +on that side projecting like a crane over the waves; there, that +blood-dripping head hung to the Pequods waist like the giant +Holoferness from the girdle of Judith. + +When this last task was accomplished it was noon, and the seamen went +below to their dinner. Silence reigned over the before tumultuous but +now deserted deck. An intense copper calm, like a universal yellow +lotus, was more and more unfolding its noiseless measureless leaves +upon the sea. + +A short space elapsed, and up into this noiselessness came Ahab alone +from his cabin. Taking a few turns on the quarter-deck, he paused to +gaze over the side, then slowly getting into the main-chains he took +Stubbs long spadestill remaining there after the whales +decapitationand striking it into the lower part of the half-suspended +mass, placed its other end crutch-wise under one arm, and so stood +leaning over with eyes attentively fixed on this head. + +It was a black and hooded head; and hanging there in the midst of so +intense a calm, it seemed the Sphynxs in the desert. Speak, thou vast +and venerable head, muttered Ahab, which, though ungarnished with a +beard, yet here and there lookest hoary with mosses; speak, mighty +head, and tell us the secret thing that is in thee. Of all divers, thou +hast dived the deepest. That head upon which the upper sun now gleams, +has moved amid this worlds foundations. Where unrecorded names and +navies rust, and untold hopes and anchors rot; where in her murderous +hold this frigate earth is ballasted with bones of millions of the +drowned; there, in that awful water-land, there was thy most familiar +home. Thou hast been where bell or diver never went; hast slept by many +a sailors side, where sleepless mothers would give their lives to lay +them down. Thou sawst the locked lovers when leaping from their +flaming ship; heart to heart they sank beneath the exulting wave; true +to each other, when heaven seemed false to them. Thou sawst the +murdered mate when tossed by pirates from the midnight deck; for hours +he fell into the deeper midnight of the insatiate maw; and his +murderers still sailed on unharmedwhile swift lightnings shivered the +neighboring ship that would have borne a righteous husband to +outstretched, longing arms. O head! thou hast seen enough to split the +planets and make an infidel of Abraham, and not one syllable is thine! + +Sail ho! cried a triumphant voice from the main-mast-head. + +Aye? Well, now, thats cheering, cried Ahab, suddenly erecting +himself, while whole thunder-clouds swept aside from his brow. That +lively cry upon this deadly calm might almost convert a better +man.Where away? + +Three points on the starboard bow, sir, and bringing down her breeze +to us! + +Better and better, man. Would now St. Paul would come along that way, +and to my breezelessness bring his breeze! O Nature, and O soul of man! +how far beyond all utterance are your linked analogies! not the +smallest atom stirs or lives on matter, but has its cunning duplicate +in mind. + + +CHAPTER 71. The Jeroboams Story. + +Hand in hand, ship and breeze blew on; but the breeze came faster than +the ship, and soon the Pequod began to rock. + +By and by, through the glass the strangers boats and manned mast-heads +proved her a whale-ship. But as she was so far to windward, and +shooting by, apparently making a passage to some other ground, the +Pequod could not hope to reach her. So the signal was set to see what +response would be made. + +Here be it said, that like the vessels of military marines, the ships +of the American Whale Fleet have each a private signal; all which +signals being collected in a book with the names of the respective +vessels attached, every captain is provided with it. Thereby, the whale +commanders are enabled to recognise each other upon the ocean, even at +considerable distances and with no small facility. + +The Pequods signal was at last responded to by the strangers setting +her own; which proved the ship to be the Jeroboam of Nantucket. +Squaring her yards, she bore down, ranged abeam under the Pequods lee, +and lowered a boat; it soon drew nigh; but, as the side-ladder was +being rigged by Starbucks order to accommodate the visiting captain, +the stranger in question waved his hand from his boats stern in token +of that proceeding being entirely unnecessary. It turned out that the +Jeroboam had a malignant epidemic on board, and that Mayhew, her +captain, was fearful of infecting the Pequods company. For, though +himself and boats crew remained untainted, and though his ship was +half a rifle-shot off, and an incorruptible sea and air rolling and +flowing between; yet conscientiously adhering to the timid quarantine +of the land, he peremptorily refused to come into direct contact with +the Pequod. + +But this did by no means prevent all communications. Preserving an +interval of some few yards between itself and the ship, the Jeroboams +boat by the occasional use of its oars contrived to keep parallel to +the Pequod, as she heavily forged through the sea (for by this time it +blew very fresh), with her main-topsail aback; though, indeed, at times +by the sudden onset of a large rolling wave, the boat would be pushed +some way ahead; but would be soon skilfully brought to her proper +bearings again. Subject to this, and other the like interruptions now +and then, a conversation was sustained between the two parties; but at +intervals not without still another interruption of a very different +sort. + +Pulling an oar in the Jeroboams boat, was a man of a singular +appearance, even in that wild whaling life where individual +notabilities make up all totalities. He was a small, short, youngish +man, sprinkled all over his face with freckles, and wearing redundant +yellow hair. A long-skirted, cabalistically-cut coat of a faded walnut +tinge enveloped him; the overlapping sleeves of which were rolled up on +his wrists. A deep, settled, fanatic delirium was in his eyes. + +So soon as this figure had been first descried, Stubb had +exclaimedThats he! thats he!the long-togged scaramouch the +Town-Hos company told us of! Stubb here alluded to a strange story +told of the Jeroboam, and a certain man among her crew, some time +previous when the Pequod spoke the Town-Ho. According to this account +and what was subsequently learned, it seemed that the scaramouch in +question had gained a wonderful ascendency over almost everybody in the +Jeroboam. His story was this: + +He had been originally nurtured among the crazy society of Neskyeuna +Shakers, where he had been a great prophet; in their cracked, secret +meetings having several times descended from heaven by the way of a +trap-door, announcing the speedy opening of the seventh vial, which he +carried in his vest-pocket; but, which, instead of containing +gunpowder, was supposed to be charged with laudanum. A strange, +apostolic whim having seized him, he had left Neskyeuna for Nantucket, +where, with that cunning peculiar to craziness, he assumed a steady, +common-sense exterior, and offered himself as a green-hand candidate +for the Jeroboams whaling voyage. They engaged him; but straightway +upon the ships getting out of sight of land, his insanity broke out in +a freshet. He announced himself as the archangel Gabriel, and commanded +the captain to jump overboard. He published his manifesto, whereby he +set himself forth as the deliverer of the isles of the sea and +vicar-general of all Oceanica. The unflinching earnestness with which +he declared these things;the dark, daring play of his sleepless, +excited imagination, and all the preternatural terrors of real +delirium, united to invest this Gabriel in the minds of the majority of +the ignorant crew, with an atmosphere of sacredness. Moreover, they +were afraid of him. As such a man, however, was not of much practical +use in the ship, especially as he refused to work except when he +pleased, the incredulous captain would fain have been rid of him; but +apprised that that individuals intention was to land him in the first +convenient port, the archangel forthwith opened all his seals and +vialsdevoting the ship and all hands to unconditional perdition, in +case this intention was carried out. So strongly did he work upon his +disciples among the crew, that at last in a body they went to the +captain and told him if Gabriel was sent from the ship, not a man of +them would remain. He was therefore forced to relinquish his plan. Nor +would they permit Gabriel to be any way maltreated, say or do what he +would; so that it came to pass that Gabriel had the complete freedom of +the ship. The consequence of all this was, that the archangel cared +little or nothing for the captain and mates; and since the epidemic had +broken out, he carried a higher hand than ever; declaring that the +plague, as he called it, was at his sole command; nor should it be +stayed but according to his good pleasure. The sailors, mostly poor +devils, cringed, and some of them fawned before him; in obedience to +his instructions, sometimes rendering him personal homage, as to a god. +Such things may seem incredible; but, however wondrous, they are true. +Nor is the history of fanatics half so striking in respect to the +measureless self-deception of the fanatic himself, as his measureless +power of deceiving and bedevilling so many others. But it is time to +return to the Pequod. + +I fear not thy epidemic, man, said Ahab from the bulwarks, to Captain +Mayhew, who stood in the boats stern; come on board. + +But now Gabriel started to his feet. + +Think, think of the fevers, yellow and bilious! Beware of the horrible +plague! + +Gabriel! Gabriel! cried Captain Mayhew; thou must either But that +instant a headlong wave shot the boat far ahead, and its seethings +drowned all speech. + +Hast thou seen the White Whale? demanded Ahab, when the boat drifted +back. + +Think, think of thy whale-boat, stoven and sunk! Beware of the +horrible tail! + +I tell thee again, Gabriel, that But again the boat tore ahead as if +dragged by fiends. Nothing was said for some moments, while a +succession of riotous waves rolled by, which by one of those occasional +caprices of the seas were tumbling, not heaving it. Meantime, the +hoisted sperm whales head jogged about very violently, and Gabriel was +seen eyeing it with rather more apprehensiveness than his archangel +nature seemed to warrant. + +When this interlude was over, Captain Mayhew began a dark story +concerning Moby Dick; not, however, without frequent interruptions from +Gabriel, whenever his name was mentioned, and the crazy sea that seemed +leagued with him. + +It seemed that the Jeroboam had not long left home, when upon speaking +a whale-ship, her people were reliably apprised of the existence of +Moby Dick, and the havoc he had made. Greedily sucking in this +intelligence, Gabriel solemnly warned the captain against attacking the +White Whale, in case the monster should be seen; in his gibbering +insanity, pronouncing the White Whale to be no less a being than the +Shaker God incarnated; the Shakers receiving the Bible. But when, some +year or two afterwards, Moby Dick was fairly sighted from the +mast-heads, Macey, the chief mate, burned with ardour to encounter him; +and the captain himself being not unwilling to let him have the +opportunity, despite all the archangels denunciations and +forewarnings, Macey succeeded in persuading five men to man his boat. +With them he pushed off; and, after much weary pulling, and many +perilous, unsuccessful onsets, he at last succeeded in getting one iron +fast. Meantime, Gabriel, ascending to the main-royal mast-head, was +tossing one arm in frantic gestures, and hurling forth prophecies of +speedy doom to the sacrilegious assailants of his divinity. Now, while +Macey, the mate, was standing up in his boats bow, and with all the +reckless energy of his tribe was venting his wild exclamations upon the +whale, and essaying to get a fair chance for his poised lance, lo! a +broad white shadow rose from the sea; by its quick, fanning motion, +temporarily taking the breath out of the bodies of the oarsmen. Next +instant, the luckless mate, so full of furious life, was smitten bodily +into the air, and making a long arc in his descent, fell into the sea +at the distance of about fifty yards. Not a chip of the boat was +harmed, nor a hair of any oarsmans head; but the mate for ever sank. + +It is well to parenthesize here, that of the fatal accidents in the +Sperm-Whale Fishery, this kind is perhaps almost as frequent as any. +Sometimes, nothing is injured but the man who is thus annihilated; +oftener the boats bow is knocked off, or the thigh-board, in which the +headsman stands, is torn from its place and accompanies the body. But +strangest of all is the circumstance, that in more instances than one, +when the body has been recovered, not a single mark of violence is +discernible; the man being stark dead. + +The whole calamity, with the falling form of Macey, was plainly +descried from the ship. Raising a piercing shriekThe vial! the vial! +Gabriel called off the terror-stricken crew from the further hunting of +the whale. This terrible event clothed the archangel with added +influence; because his credulous disciples believed that he had +specifically fore-announced it, instead of only making a general +prophecy, which any one might have done, and so have chanced to hit one +of many marks in the wide margin allowed. He became a nameless terror +to the ship. + +Mayhew having concluded his narration, Ahab put such questions to him, +that the stranger captain could not forbear inquiring whether he +intended to hunt the White Whale, if opportunity should offer. To which +Ahab answeredAye. Straightway, then, Gabriel once more started to +his feet, glaring upon the old man, and vehemently exclaimed, with +downward pointed fingerThink, think of the blasphemerdead, and down +there!beware of the blasphemers end! + +Ahab stolidly turned aside; then said to Mayhew, Captain, I have just +bethought me of my letter-bag; there is a letter for one of thy +officers, if I mistake not. Starbuck, look over the bag. + +Every whale-ship takes out a goodly number of letters for various +ships, whose delivery to the persons to whom they may be addressed, +depends upon the mere chance of encountering them in the four oceans. +Thus, most letters never reach their mark; and many are only received +after attaining an age of two or three years or more. + +Soon Starbuck returned with a letter in his hand. It was sorely +tumbled, damp, and covered with a dull, spotted, green mould, in +consequence of being kept in a dark locker of the cabin. Of such a +letter, Death himself might well have been the post-boy. + +Canst not read it? cried Ahab. Give it me, man. Aye, aye, its but +a dim scrawl;whats this? As he was studying it out, Starbuck took a +long cutting-spade pole, and with his knife slightly split the end, to +insert the letter there, and in that way, hand it to the boat, without +its coming any closer to the ship. + +Meantime, Ahab holding the letter, muttered, Mr. Haryes, Mr. Harry(a +womans pinny hand,the mans wife, Ill wager)AyeMr. Harry Macey, +Ship Jeroboam;why its Macey, and hes dead! + +Poor fellow! poor fellow! and from his wife, sighed Mayhew; but let +me have it. + +Nay, keep it thyself, cried Gabriel to Ahab; thou art soon going +that way. + +Curses throttle thee! yelled Ahab. Captain Mayhew, stand by now to +receive it; and taking the fatal missive from Starbucks hands, he +caught it in the slit of the pole, and reached it over towards the +boat. But as he did so, the oarsmen expectantly desisted from rowing; +the boat drifted a little towards the ships stern; so that, as if by +magic, the letter suddenly ranged along with Gabriels eager hand. He +clutched it in an instant, seized the boat-knife, and impaling the +letter on it, sent it thus loaded back into the ship. It fell at Ahabs +feet. Then Gabriel shrieked out to his comrades to give way with their +oars, and in that manner the mutinous boat rapidly shot away from the +Pequod. + +As, after this interlude, the seamen resumed their work upon the jacket +of the whale, many strange things were hinted in reference to this wild +affair. + + +CHAPTER 72. The Monkey-Rope. + +In the tumultuous business of cutting-in and attending to a whale, +there is much running backwards and forwards among the crew. Now hands +are wanted here, and then again hands are wanted there. There is no +staying in any one place; for at one and the same time everything has +to be done everywhere. It is much the same with him who endeavors the +description of the scene. We must now retrace our way a little. It was +mentioned that upon first breaking ground in the whales back, the +blubber-hook was inserted into the original hole there cut by the +spades of the mates. But how did so clumsy and weighty a mass as that +same hook get fixed in that hole? It was inserted there by my +particular friend Queequeg, whose duty it was, as harpooneer, to +descend upon the monsters back for the special purpose referred to. +But in very many cases, circumstances require that the harpooneer shall +remain on the whale till the whole flensing or stripping operation is +concluded. The whale, be it observed, lies almost entirely submerged, +excepting the immediate parts operated upon. So down there, some ten +feet below the level of the deck, the poor harpooneer flounders about, +half on the whale and half in the water, as the vast mass revolves like +a tread-mill beneath him. On the occasion in question, Queequeg figured +in the Highland costumea shirt and socksin which to my eyes, at +least, he appeared to uncommon advantage; and no one had a better +chance to observe him, as will presently be seen. + +Being the savages bowsman, that is, the person who pulled the bow-oar +in his boat (the second one from forward), it was my cheerful duty to +attend upon him while taking that hard-scrabble scramble upon the dead +whales back. You have seen Italian organ-boys holding a dancing-ape by +a long cord. Just so, from the ships steep side, did I hold Queequeg +down there in the sea, by what is technically called in the fishery a +monkey-rope, attached to a strong strip of canvas belted round his +waist. + +It was a humorously perilous business for both of us. For, before we +proceed further, it must be said that the monkey-rope was fast at both +ends; fast to Queequegs broad canvas belt, and fast to my narrow +leather one. So that for better or for worse, we two, for the time, +were wedded; and should poor Queequeg sink to rise no more, then both +usage and honor demanded, that instead of cutting the cord, it should +drag me down in his wake. So, then, an elongated Siamese ligature +united us. Queequeg was my own inseparable twin brother; nor could I +any way get rid of the dangerous liabilities which the hempen bond +entailed. + +So strongly and metaphysically did I conceive of my situation then, +that while earnestly watching his motions, I seemed distinctly to +perceive that my own individuality was now merged in a joint stock +company of two; that my free will had received a mortal wound; and that +anothers mistake or misfortune might plunge innocent me into unmerited +disaster and death. Therefore, I saw that here was a sort of +interregnum in Providence; for its even-handed equity never could have +so gross an injustice. And yet still further ponderingwhile I jerked +him now and then from between the whale and ship, which would threaten +to jam himstill further pondering, I say, I saw that this situation of +mine was the precise situation of every mortal that breathes; only, in +most cases, he, one way or other, has this Siamese connexion with a +plurality of other mortals. If your banker breaks, you snap; if your +apothecary by mistake sends you poison in your pills, you die. True, +you may say that, by exceeding caution, you may possibly escape these +and the multitudinous other evil chances of life. But handle Queequegs +monkey-rope heedfully as I would, sometimes he jerked it so, that I +came very near sliding overboard. Nor could I possibly forget that, do +what I would, I only had the management of one end of it.* + +*The monkey-rope is found in all whalers; but it was only in the Pequod +that the monkey and his holder were ever tied together. This +improvement upon the original usage was introduced by no less a man +than Stubb, in order to afford the imperilled harpooneer the strongest +possible guarantee for the faithfulness and vigilance of his +monkey-rope holder. + +I have hinted that I would often jerk poor Queequeg from between the +whale and the shipwhere he would occasionally fall, from the incessant +rolling and swaying of both. But this was not the only jamming jeopardy +he was exposed to. Unappalled by the massacre made upon them during the +night, the sharks now freshly and more keenly allured by the before +pent blood which began to flow from the carcassthe rabid creatures +swarmed round it like bees in a beehive. + +And right in among those sharks was Queequeg; who often pushed them +aside with his floundering feet. A thing altogether incredible were it +not that attracted by such prey as a dead whale, the otherwise +miscellaneously carnivorous shark will seldom touch a man. + +Nevertheless, it may well be believed that since they have such a +ravenous finger in the pie, it is deemed but wise to look sharp to +them. Accordingly, besides the monkey-rope, with which I now and then +jerked the poor fellow from too close a vicinity to the maw of what +seemed a peculiarly ferocious sharkhe was provided with still another +protection. Suspended over the side in one of the stages, Tashtego and +Daggoo continually flourished over his head a couple of keen +whale-spades, wherewith they slaughtered as many sharks as they could +reach. This procedure of theirs, to be sure, was very disinterested and +benevolent of them. They meant Queequegs best happiness, I admit; but +in their hasty zeal to befriend him, and from the circumstance that +both he and the sharks were at times half hidden by the blood-muddled +water, those indiscreet spades of theirs would come nearer amputating a +leg than a tail. But poor Queequeg, I suppose, straining and gasping +there with that great iron hookpoor Queequeg, I suppose, only prayed +to his Yojo, and gave up his life into the hands of his gods. + +Well, well, my dear comrade and twin-brother, thought I, as I drew in +and then slacked off the rope to every swell of the seawhat matters +it, after all? Are you not the precious image of each and all of us men +in this whaling world? That unsounded ocean you gasp in, is Life; those +sharks, your foes; those spades, your friends; and what between sharks +and spades you are in a sad pickle and peril, poor lad. + +But courage! there is good cheer in store for you, Queequeg. For now, +as with blue lips and blood-shot eyes the exhausted savage at last +climbs up the chains and stands all dripping and involuntarily +trembling over the side; the steward advances, and with a benevolent, +consolatory glance hands himwhat? Some hot Cognac? No! hands him, ye +gods! hands him a cup of tepid ginger and water! + +Ginger? Do I smell ginger? suspiciously asked Stubb, coming near. +Yes, this must be ginger, peering into the as yet untasted cup. Then +standing as if incredulous for a while, he calmly walked towards the +astonished steward slowly saying, Ginger? ginger? and will you have +the goodness to tell me, Mr. Dough-Boy, where lies the virtue of +ginger? Ginger! is ginger the sort of fuel you use, Dough-boy, to +kindle a fire in this shivering cannibal? Ginger!what the devil is +ginger? Sea-coal? firewood?lucifer matches?tinder?gunpowder?what +the devil is ginger, I say, that you offer this cup to our poor +Queequeg here. + +There is some sneaking Temperance Society movement about this +business, he suddenly added, now approaching Starbuck, who had just +come from forward. Will you look at that kannakin, sir: smell of it, +if you please. Then watching the mates countenance, he added, The +steward, Mr. Starbuck, had the face to offer that calomel and jalap to +Queequeg, there, this instant off the whale. Is the steward an +apothecary, sir? and may I ask whether this is the sort of bitters by +which he blows back the life into a half-drowned man? + +I trust not, said Starbuck, it is poor stuff enough. + +Aye, aye, steward, cried Stubb, well teach you to drug a +harpooneer; none of your apothecarys medicine here; you want to poison +us, do ye? You have got out insurances on our lives and want to murder +us all, and pocket the proceeds, do ye? + +It was not me, cried Dough-Boy, it was Aunt Charity that brought the +ginger on board; and bade me never give the harpooneers any spirits, +but only this ginger-jubso she called it. + +Ginger-jub! you gingerly rascal! take that! and run along with ye to +the lockers, and get something better. I hope I do no wrong, Mr. +Starbuck. It is the captains ordersgrog for the harpooneer on a +whale. + +Enough, replied Starbuck, only dont hit him again, but + +Oh, I never hurt when I hit, except when I hit a whale or something of +that sort; and this fellows a weazel. What were you about saying, +sir? + +Only this: go down with him, and get what thou wantest thyself. + +When Stubb reappeared, he came with a dark flask in one hand, and a +sort of tea-caddy in the other. The first contained strong spirits, and +was handed to Queequeg; the second was Aunt Charitys gift, and that +was freely given to the waves. + + +CHAPTER 73. Stubb and Flask kill a Right Whale; and Then Have a Talk +over Him. + +It must be borne in mind that all this time we have a Sperm Whales +prodigious head hanging to the Pequods side. But we must let it +continue hanging there a while till we can get a chance to attend to +it. For the present other matters press, and the best we can do now for +the head, is to pray heaven the tackles may hold. + +Now, during the past night and forenoon, the Pequod had gradually +drifted into a sea, which, by its occasional patches of yellow brit, +gave unusual tokens of the vicinity of Right Whales, a species of the +Leviathan that but few supposed to be at this particular time lurking +anywhere near. And though all hands commonly disdained the capture of +those inferior creatures; and though the Pequod was not commissioned to +cruise for them at all, and though she had passed numbers of them near +the Crozetts without lowering a boat; yet now that a Sperm Whale had +been brought alongside and beheaded, to the surprise of all, the +announcement was made that a Right Whale should be captured that day, +if opportunity offered. + +Nor was this long wanting. Tall spouts were seen to leeward; and two +boats, Stubbs and Flasks, were detached in pursuit. Pulling further +and further away, they at last became almost invisible to the men at +the mast-head. But suddenly in the distance, they saw a great heap of +tumultuous white water, and soon after news came from aloft that one or +both the boats must be fast. An interval passed and the boats were in +plain sight, in the act of being dragged right towards the ship by the +towing whale. So close did the monster come to the hull, that at first +it seemed as if he meant it malice; but suddenly going down in a +maelstrom, within three rods of the planks, he wholly disappeared from +view, as if diving under the keel. Cut, cut! was the cry from the +ship to the boats, which, for one instant, seemed on the point of being +brought with a deadly dash against the vessels side. But having plenty +of line yet in the tubs, and the whale not sounding very rapidly, they +paid out abundance of rope, and at the same time pulled with all their +might so as to get ahead of the ship. For a few minutes the struggle +was intensely critical; for while they still slacked out the tightened +line in one direction, and still plied their oars in another, the +contending strain threatened to take them under. But it was only a few +feet advance they sought to gain. And they stuck to it till they did +gain it; when instantly, a swift tremor was felt running like lightning +along the keel, as the strained line, scraping beneath the ship, +suddenly rose to view under her bows, snapping and quivering; and so +flinging off its drippings, that the drops fell like bits of broken +glass on the water, while the whale beyond also rose to sight, and once +more the boats were free to fly. But the fagged whale abated his speed, +and blindly altering his course, went round the stern of the ship +towing the two boats after him, so that they performed a complete +circuit. + +Meantime, they hauled more and more upon their lines, till close +flanking him on both sides, Stubb answered Flask with lance for lance; +and thus round and round the Pequod the battle went, while the +multitudes of sharks that had before swum round the Sperm Whales body, +rushed to the fresh blood that was spilled, thirstily drinking at every +new gash, as the eager Israelites did at the new bursting fountains +that poured from the smitten rock. + +At last his spout grew thick, and with a frightful roll and vomit, he +turned upon his back a corpse. + +While the two headsmen were engaged in making fast cords to his flukes, +and in other ways getting the mass in readiness for towing, some +conversation ensued between them. + +I wonder what the old man wants with this lump of foul lard, said +Stubb, not without some disgust at the thought of having to do with so +ignoble a leviathan. + +Wants with it? said Flask, coiling some spare line in the boats bow, +did you never hear that the ship which but once has a Sperm Whales +head hoisted on her starboard side, and at the same time a Right +Whales on the larboard; did you never hear, Stubb, that that ship can +never afterwards capsize? + +Why not? + +I dont know, but I heard that gamboge ghost of a Fedallah saying so, +and he seems to know all about ships charms. But I sometimes think +hell charm the ship to no good at last. I dont half like that chap, +Stubb. Did you ever notice how that tusk of his is a sort of carved +into a snakes head, Stubb? + +Sink him! I never look at him at all; but if ever I get a chance of a +dark night, and he standing hard by the bulwarks, and no one by; look +down there, Flaskpointing into the sea with a peculiar motion of both +handsAye, will I! Flask, I take that Fedallah to be the devil in +disguise. Do you believe that cock and bull story about his having been +stowed away on board ship? Hes the devil, I say. The reason why you +dont see his tail, is because he tucks it up out of sight; he carries +it coiled away in his pocket, I guess. Blast him! now that I think of +it, hes always wanting oakum to stuff into the toes of his boots. + +He sleeps in his boots, dont he? He hasnt got any hammock; but Ive +seen him lay of nights in a coil of rigging. + +No doubt, and its because of his cursed tail; he coils it down, do ye +see, in the eye of the rigging. + +Whats the old man have so much to do with him for? + +Striking up a swap or a bargain, I suppose. + +Bargain?about what? + +Why, do ye see, the old man is hard bent after that White Whale, and +the devil there is trying to come round him, and get him to swap away +his silver watch, or his soul, or something of that sort, and then +hell surrender Moby Dick. + +Pooh! Stubb, you are skylarking; how can Fedallah do that? + +I dont know, Flask, but the devil is a curious chap, and a wicked +one, I tell ye. Why, they say as how he went a sauntering into the old +flag-ship once, switching his tail about devilish easy and +gentlemanlike, and inquiring if the old governor was at home. Well, he +was at home, and asked the devil what he wanted. The devil, switching +his hoofs, up and says, I want John. What for? says the old +governor. What business is that of yours, says the devil, getting +mad,I want to use him. Take him, says the governorand by the +Lord, Flask, if the devil didnt give John the Asiatic cholera before +he got through with him, Ill eat this whale in one mouthful. But look +sharpaint you all ready there? Well, then, pull ahead, and lets get +the whale alongside. + +I think I remember some such story as you were telling, said Flask, +when at last the two boats were slowly advancing with their burden +towards the ship, but I cant remember where. + +Three Spaniards? Adventures of those three bloody-minded soldadoes? +Did ye read it there, Flask? I guess ye did? + +No: never saw such a book; heard of it, though. But now, tell me, +Stubb, do you suppose that that devil you was speaking of just now, was +the same you say is now on board the Pequod? + +Am I the same man that helped kill this whale? Doesnt the devil live +for ever; who ever heard that the devil was dead? Did you ever see any +parson a wearing mourning for the devil? And if the devil has a +latch-key to get into the admirals cabin, dont you suppose he can +crawl into a porthole? Tell me that, Mr. Flask? + +How old do you suppose Fedallah is, Stubb? + +Do you see that mainmast there? pointing to the ship; well, thats +the figure one; now take all the hoops in the Pequods hold, and string +along in a row with that mast, for oughts, do you see; well, that +wouldnt begin to be Fedallahs age. Nor all the coopers in creation +couldnt show hoops enough to make oughts enough. + +But see here, Stubb, I thought you a little boasted just now, that you +meant to give Fedallah a sea-toss, if you got a good chance. Now, if +hes so old as all those hoops of yours come to, and if he is going to +live for ever, what good will it do to pitch him overboardtell me +that? + +Give him a good ducking, anyhow. + +But hed crawl back. + +Duck him again; and keep ducking him. + +Suppose he should take it into his head to duck you, thoughyes, and +drown youwhat then? + +I should like to see him try it; Id give him such a pair of black +eyes that he wouldnt dare to show his face in the admirals cabin +again for a long while, let alone down in the orlop there, where he +lives, and hereabouts on the upper decks where he sneaks so much. Damn +the devil, Flask; so you suppose Im afraid of the devil? Whos afraid +of him, except the old governor who daresnt catch him and put him in +double-darbies, as he deserves, but lets him go about kidnapping +people; aye, and signed a bond with him, that all the people the devil +kidnapped, hed roast for him? Theres a governor! + +Do you suppose Fedallah wants to kidnap Captain Ahab? + +Do I suppose it? Youll know it before long, Flask. But I am going now +to keep a sharp look-out on him; and if I see anything very suspicious +going on, Ill just take him by the nape of his neck, and sayLook +here, Beelzebub, you dont do it; and if he makes any fuss, by the Lord +Ill make a grab into his pocket for his tail, take it to the capstan, +and give him such a wrenching and heaving, that his tail will come +short off at the stumpdo you see; and then, I rather guess when he +finds himself docked in that queer fashion, hell sneak off without the +poor satisfaction of feeling his tail between his legs. + +And what will you do with the tail, Stubb? + +Do with it? Sell it for an ox whip when we get home;what else? + +Now, do you mean what you say, and have been saying all along, Stubb? + +Mean or not mean, here we are at the ship. + +The boats were here hailed, to tow the whale on the larboard side, +where fluke chains and other necessaries were already prepared for +securing him. + +Didnt I tell you so? said Flask; yes, youll soon see this right +whales head hoisted up opposite that parmacettis. + +In good time, Flasks saying proved true. As before, the Pequod steeply +leaned over towards the sperm whales head, now, by the counterpoise of +both heads, she regained her even keel; though sorely strained, you may +well believe. So, when on one side you hoist in Lockes head, you go +over that way; but now, on the other side, hoist in Kants and you come +back again; but in very poor plight. Thus, some minds for ever keep +trimming boat. Oh, ye foolish! throw all these thunder-heads overboard, +and then you will float light and right. + +In disposing of the body of a right whale, when brought alongside the +ship, the same preliminary proceedings commonly take place as in the +case of a sperm whale; only, in the latter instance, the head is cut +off whole, but in the former the lips and tongue are separately removed +and hoisted on deck, with all the well known black bone attached to +what is called the crown-piece. But nothing like this, in the present +case, had been done. The carcases of both whales had dropped astern; +and the head-laden ship not a little resembled a mule carrying a pair +of overburdening panniers. + +Meantime, Fedallah was calmly eyeing the right whales head, and ever +and anon glancing from the deep wrinkles there to the lines in his own +hand. And Ahab chanced so to stand, that the Parsee occupied his +shadow; while, if the Parsees shadow was there at all it seemed only +to blend with, and lengthen Ahabs. As the crew toiled on, Laplandish +speculations were bandied among them, concerning all these passing +things. + + +CHAPTER 74. The Sperm Whales HeadContrasted View. + +Here, now, are two great whales, laying their heads together; let us +join them, and lay together our own. + +Of the grand order of folio leviathans, the Sperm Whale and the Right +Whale are by far the most noteworthy. They are the only whales +regularly hunted by man. To the Nantucketer, they present the two +extremes of all the known varieties of the whale. As the external +difference between them is mainly observable in their heads; and as a +head of each is this moment hanging from the Pequods side; and as we +may freely go from one to the other, by merely stepping across the +deck:where, I should like to know, will you obtain a better chance to +study practical cetology than here? + +In the first place, you are struck by the general contrast between +these heads. Both are massive enough in all conscience; but there is a +certain mathematical symmetry in the Sperm Whales which the Right +Whales sadly lacks. There is more character in the Sperm Whales head. +As you behold it, you involuntarily yield the immense superiority to +him, in point of pervading dignity. In the present instance, too, this +dignity is heightened by the pepper and salt colour of his head at the +summit, giving token of advanced age and large experience. In short, he +is what the fishermen technically call a grey-headed whale. + +Let us now note what is least dissimilar in these headsnamely, the two +most important organs, the eye and the ear. Far back on the side of the +head, and low down, near the angle of either whales jaw, if you +narrowly search, you will at last see a lashless eye, which you would +fancy to be a young colts eye; so out of all proportion is it to the +magnitude of the head. + +Now, from this peculiar sideway position of the whales eyes, it is +plain that he can never see an object which is exactly ahead, no more +than he can one exactly astern. In a word, the position of the whales +eyes corresponds to that of a mans ears; and you may fancy, for +yourself, how it would fare with you, did you sideways survey objects +through your ears. You would find that you could only command some +thirty degrees of vision in advance of the straight side-line of sight; +and about thirty more behind it. If your bitterest foe were walking +straight towards you, with dagger uplifted in broad day, you would not +be able to see him, any more than if he were stealing upon you from +behind. In a word, you would have two backs, so to speak; but, at the +same time, also, two fronts (side fronts): for what is it that makes +the front of a manwhat, indeed, but his eyes? + +Moreover, while in most other animals that I can now think of, the eyes +are so planted as imperceptibly to blend their visual power, so as to +produce one picture and not two to the brain; the peculiar position of +the whales eyes, effectually divided as they are by many cubic feet of +solid head, which towers between them like a great mountain separating +two lakes in valleys; this, of course, must wholly separate the +impressions which each independent organ imparts. The whale, therefore, +must see one distinct picture on this side, and another distinct +picture on that side; while all between must be profound darkness and +nothingness to him. Man may, in effect, be said to look out on the +world from a sentry-box with two joined sashes for his window. But with +the whale, these two sashes are separately inserted, making two +distinct windows, but sadly impairing the view. This peculiarity of the +whales eyes is a thing always to be borne in mind in the fishery; and +to be remembered by the reader in some subsequent scenes. + +A curious and most puzzling question might be started concerning this +visual matter as touching the Leviathan. But I must be content with a +hint. So long as a mans eyes are open in the light, the act of seeing +is involuntary; that is, he cannot then help mechanically seeing +whatever objects are before him. Nevertheless, any ones experience +will teach him, that though he can take in an undiscriminating sweep of +things at one glance, it is quite impossible for him, attentively, and +completely, to examine any two thingshowever large or however smallat +one and the same instant of time; never mind if they lie side by side +and touch each other. But if you now come to separate these two +objects, and surround each by a circle of profound darkness; then, in +order to see one of them, in such a manner as to bring your mind to +bear on it, the other will be utterly excluded from your contemporary +consciousness. How is it, then, with the whale? True, both his eyes, in +themselves, must simultaneously act; but is his brain so much more +comprehensive, combining, and subtle than mans, that he can at the +same moment of time attentively examine two distinct prospects, one on +one side of him, and the other in an exactly opposite direction? If he +can, then is it as marvellous a thing in him, as if a man were able +simultaneously to go through the demonstrations of two distinct +problems in Euclid. Nor, strictly investigated, is there any +incongruity in this comparison. + +It may be but an idle whim, but it has always seemed to me, that the +extraordinary vacillations of movement displayed by some whales when +beset by three or four boats; the timidity and liability to queer +frights, so common to such whales; I think that all this indirectly +proceeds from the helpless perplexity of volition, in which their +divided and diametrically opposite powers of vision must involve them. + +But the ear of the whale is full as curious as the eye. If you are an +entire stranger to their race, you might hunt over these two heads for +hours, and never discover that organ. The ear has no external leaf +whatever; and into the hole itself you can hardly insert a quill, so +wondrously minute is it. It is lodged a little behind the eye. With +respect to their ears, this important difference is to be observed +between the sperm whale and the right. While the ear of the former has +an external opening, that of the latter is entirely and evenly covered +over with a membrane, so as to be quite imperceptible from without. + +Is it not curious, that so vast a being as the whale should see the +world through so small an eye, and hear the thunder through an ear +which is smaller than a hares? But if his eyes were broad as the lens +of Herschels great telescope; and his ears capacious as the porches of +cathedrals; would that make him any longer of sight, or sharper of +hearing? Not at all.Why then do you try to enlarge your mind? +Subtilize it. + +Let us now with whatever levers and steam-engines we have at hand, cant +over the sperm whales head, that it may lie bottom up; then, ascending +by a ladder to the summit, have a peep down the mouth; and were it not +that the body is now completely separated from it, with a lantern we +might descend into the great Kentucky Mammoth Cave of his stomach. But +let us hold on here by this tooth, and look about us where we are. What +a really beautiful and chaste-looking mouth! from floor to ceiling, +lined, or rather papered with a glistening white membrane, glossy as +bridal satins. + +But come out now, and look at this portentous lower jaw, which seems +like the long narrow lid of an immense snuff-box, with the hinge at one +end, instead of one side. If you pry it up, so as to get it overhead, +and expose its rows of teeth, it seems a terrific portcullis; and such, +alas! it proves to many a poor wight in the fishery, upon whom these +spikes fall with impaling force. But far more terrible is it to behold, +when fathoms down in the sea, you see some sulky whale, floating there +suspended, with his prodigious jaw, some fifteen feet long, hanging +straight down at right-angles with his body, for all the world like a +ships jib-boom. This whale is not dead; he is only dispirited; out of +sorts, perhaps; hypochondriac; and so supine, that the hinges of his +jaw have relaxed, leaving him there in that ungainly sort of plight, a +reproach to all his tribe, who must, no doubt, imprecate lock-jaws upon +him. + +In most cases this lower jawbeing easily unhinged by a practised +artistis disengaged and hoisted on deck for the purpose of extracting +the ivory teeth, and furnishing a supply of that hard white whalebone +with which the fishermen fashion all sorts of curious articles, +including canes, umbrella-stocks, and handles to riding-whips. + +With a long, weary hoist the jaw is dragged on board, as if it were an +anchor; and when the proper time comessome few days after the other +workQueequeg, Daggoo, and Tashtego, being all accomplished dentists, +are set to drawing teeth. With a keen cutting-spade, Queequeg lances +the gums; then the jaw is lashed down to ringbolts, and a tackle being +rigged from aloft, they drag out these teeth, as Michigan oxen drag +stumps of old oaks out of wild wood lands. There are generally +forty-two teeth in all; in old whales, much worn down, but undecayed; +nor filled after our artificial fashion. The jaw is afterwards sawn +into slabs, and piled away like joists for building houses. + + +CHAPTER 75. The Right Whales HeadContrasted View. + +Crossing the deck, let us now have a good long look at the Right +Whales head. + +As in general shape the noble Sperm Whales head may be compared to a +Roman war-chariot (especially in front, where it is so broadly +rounded); so, at a broad view, the Right Whales head bears a rather +inelegant resemblance to a gigantic galliot-toed shoe. Two hundred +years ago an old Dutch voyager likened its shape to that of a +shoemakers last. And in this same last or shoe, that old woman of the +nursery tale, with the swarming brood, might very comfortably be +lodged, she and all her progeny. + +But as you come nearer to this great head it begins to assume different +aspects, according to your point of view. If you stand on its summit +and look at these two F-shaped spoutholes, you would take the whole +head for an enormous bass-viol, and these spiracles, the apertures in +its sounding-board. Then, again, if you fix your eye upon this strange, +crested, comb-like incrustation on the top of the massthis green, +barnacled thing, which the Greenlanders call the crown, and the +Southern fishers the bonnet of the Right Whale; fixing your eyes +solely on this, you would take the head for the trunk of some huge oak, +with a birds nest in its crotch. At any rate, when you watch those +live crabs that nestle here on this bonnet, such an idea will be almost +sure to occur to you; unless, indeed, your fancy has been fixed by the +technical term crown also bestowed upon it; in which case you will +take great interest in thinking how this mighty monster is actually a +diademed king of the sea, whose green crown has been put together for +him in this marvellous manner. But if this whale be a king, he is a +very sulky looking fellow to grace a diadem. Look at that hanging lower +lip! what a huge sulk and pout is there! a sulk and pout, by +carpenters measurement, about twenty feet long and five feet deep; a +sulk and pout that will yield you some 500 gallons of oil and more. + +A great pity, now, that this unfortunate whale should be hare-lipped. +The fissure is about a foot across. Probably the mother during an +important interval was sailing down the Peruvian coast, when +earthquakes caused the beach to gape. Over this lip, as over a slippery +threshold, we now slide into the mouth. Upon my word were I at +Mackinaw, I should take this to be the inside of an Indian wigwam. Good +Lord! is this the road that Jonah went? The roof is about twelve feet +high, and runs to a pretty sharp angle, as if there were a regular +ridge-pole there; while these ribbed, arched, hairy sides, present us +with those wondrous, half vertical, scimetar-shaped slats of whalebone, +say three hundred on a side, which depending from the upper part of the +head or crown bone, form those Venetian blinds which have elsewhere +been cursorily mentioned. The edges of these bones are fringed with +hairy fibres, through which the Right Whale strains the water, and in +whose intricacies he retains the small fish, when openmouthed he goes +through the seas of brit in feeding time. In the central blinds of +bone, as they stand in their natural order, there are certain curious +marks, curves, hollows, and ridges, whereby some whalemen calculate the +creatures age, as the age of an oak by its circular rings. Though the +certainty of this criterion is far from demonstrable, yet it has the +savor of analogical probability. At any rate, if we yield to it, we +must grant a far greater age to the Right Whale than at first glance +will seem reasonable. + +In old times, there seem to have prevailed the most curious fancies +concerning these blinds. One voyager in Purchas calls them the wondrous +whiskers inside of the whales mouth;* another, hogs bristles; a +third old gentleman in Hackluyt uses the following elegant language: +There are about two hundred and fifty fins growing on each side of his +upper _chop_, which arch over his tongue on each side of his mouth. + +*This reminds us that the Right Whale really has a sort of whisker, or +rather a moustache, consisting of a few scattered white hairs on the +upper part of the outer end of the lower jaw. Sometimes these tufts +impart a rather brigandish expression to his otherwise solemn +countenance. + +As every one knows, these same hogs bristles, fins, whiskers, +blinds, or whatever you please, furnish to the ladies their busks and +other stiffening contrivances. But in this particular, the demand has +long been on the decline. It was in Queen Annes time that the bone was +in its glory, the farthingale being then all the fashion. And as those +ancient dames moved about gaily, though in the jaws of the whale, as +you may say; even so, in a shower, with the like thoughtlessness, do we +nowadays fly under the same jaws for protection; the umbrella being a +tent spread over the same bone. + +But now forget all about blinds and whiskers for a moment, and, +standing in the Right Whales mouth, look around you afresh. Seeing all +these colonnades of bone so methodically ranged about, would you not +think you were inside of the great Haarlem organ, and gazing upon its +thousand pipes? For a carpet to the organ we have a rug of the softest +Turkeythe tongue, which is glued, as it were, to the floor of the +mouth. It is very fat and tender, and apt to tear in pieces in hoisting +it on deck. This particular tongue now before us; at a passing glance I +should say it was a six-barreler; that is, it will yield you about that +amount of oil. + +Ere this, you must have plainly seen the truth of what I started +withthat the Sperm Whale and the Right Whale have almost entirely +different heads. To sum up, then: in the Right Whales there is no +great well of sperm; no ivory teeth at all; no long, slender mandible +of a lower jaw, like the Sperm Whales. Nor in the Sperm Whale are +there any of those blinds of bone; no huge lower lip; and scarcely +anything of a tongue. Again, the Right Whale has two external +spout-holes, the Sperm Whale only one. + +Look your last, now, on these venerable hooded heads, while they yet +lie together; for one will soon sink, unrecorded, in the sea; the other +will not be very long in following. + +Can you catch the expression of the Sperm Whales there? It is the same +he died with, only some of the longer wrinkles in the forehead seem now +faded away. I think his broad brow to be full of a prairie-like +placidity, born of a speculative indifference as to death. But mark the +other heads expression. See that amazing lower lip, pressed by +accident against the vessels side, so as firmly to embrace the jaw. +Does not this whole head seem to speak of an enormous practical +resolution in facing death? This Right Whale I take to have been a +Stoic; the Sperm Whale, a Platonian, who might have taken up Spinoza in +his latter years. + + +CHAPTER 76. The Battering-Ram. + +Ere quitting, for the nonce, the Sperm Whales head, I would have you, +as a sensible physiologist, simplyparticularly remark its front +aspect, in all its compacted collectedness. I would have you +investigate it now with the sole view of forming to yourself some +unexaggerated, intelligent estimate of whatever battering-ram power may +be lodged there. Here is a vital point; for you must either +satisfactorily settle this matter with yourself, or for ever remain an +infidel as to one of the most appalling, but not the less true events, +perhaps anywhere to be found in all recorded history. + +You observe that in the ordinary swimming position of the Sperm Whale, +the front of his head presents an almost wholly vertical plane to the +water; you observe that the lower part of that front slopes +considerably backwards, so as to furnish more of a retreat for the long +socket which receives the boom-like lower jaw; you observe that the +mouth is entirely under the head, much in the same way, indeed, as +though your own mouth were entirely under your chin. Moreover you +observe that the whale has no external nose; and that what nose he +hashis spout holeis on the top of his head; you observe that his eyes +and ears are at the sides of his head, nearly one third of his entire +length from the front. Wherefore, you must now have perceived that the +front of the Sperm Whales head is a dead, blind wall, without a single +organ or tender prominence of any sort whatsoever. Furthermore, you are +now to consider that only in the extreme, lower, backward sloping part +of the front of the head, is there the slightest vestige of bone; and +not till you get near twenty feet from the forehead do you come to the +full cranial development. So that this whole enormous boneless mass is +as one wad. Finally, though, as will soon be revealed, its contents +partly comprise the most delicate oil; yet, you are now to be apprised +of the nature of the substance which so impregnably invests all that +apparent effeminacy. In some previous place I have described to you how +the blubber wraps the body of the whale, as the rind wraps an orange. +Just so with the head; but with this difference: about the head this +envelope, though not so thick, is of a boneless toughness, inestimable +by any man who has not handled it. The severest pointed harpoon, the +sharpest lance darted by the strongest human arm, impotently rebounds +from it. It is as though the forehead of the Sperm Whale were paved +with horses hoofs. I do not think that any sensation lurks in it. + +Bethink yourself also of another thing. When two large, loaded Indiamen +chance to crowd and crush towards each other in the docks, what do the +sailors do? They do not suspend between them, at the point of coming +contact, any merely hard substance, like iron or wood. No, they hold +there a large, round wad of tow and cork, enveloped in the thickest and +toughest of ox-hide. That bravely and uninjured takes the jam which +would have snapped all their oaken handspikes and iron crow-bars. By +itself this sufficiently illustrates the obvious fact I drive at. But +supplementary to this, it has hypothetically occurred to me, that as +ordinary fish possess what is called a swimming bladder in them, +capable, at will, of distension or contraction; and as the Sperm Whale, +as far as I know, has no such provision in him; considering, too, the +otherwise inexplicable manner in which he now depresses his head +altogether beneath the surface, and anon swims with it high elevated +out of the water; considering the unobstructed elasticity of its +envelope; considering the unique interior of his head; it has +hypothetically occurred to me, I say, that those mystical lung-celled +honeycombs there may possibly have some hitherto unknown and +unsuspected connexion with the outer air, so as to be susceptible to +atmospheric distension and contraction. If this be so, fancy the +irresistibleness of that might, to which the most impalpable and +destructive of all elements contributes. + +Now, mark. Unerringly impelling this dead, impregnable, uninjurable +wall, and this most buoyant thing within; there swims behind it all a +mass of tremendous life, only to be adequately estimated as piled wood +isby the cord; and all obedient to one volition, as the smallest +insect. So that when I shall hereafter detail to you all the +specialities and concentrations of potency everywhere lurking in this +expansive monster; when I shall show you some of his more +inconsiderable braining feats; I trust you will have renounced all +ignorant incredulity, and be ready to abide by this; that though the +Sperm Whale stove a passage through the Isthmus of Darien, and mixed +the Atlantic with the Pacific, you would not elevate one hair of your +eye-brow. For unless you own the whale, you are but a provincial and +sentimentalist in Truth. But clear Truth is a thing for salamander +giants only to encounter; how small the chances for the provincials +then? What befell the weakling youth lifting the dread goddesss veil +at Lais? + + +CHAPTER 77. The Great Heidelburgh Tun. + +Now comes the Baling of the Case. But to comprehend it aright, you must +know something of the curious internal structure of the thing operated +upon. + +Regarding the Sperm Whales head as a solid oblong, you may, on an +inclined plane, sideways divide it into two quoins,* whereof the lower +is the bony structure, forming the cranium and jaws, and the upper an +unctuous mass wholly free from bones; its broad forward end forming the +expanded vertical apparent forehead of the whale. At the middle of the +forehead horizontally subdivide this upper quoin, and then you have two +almost equal parts, which before were naturally divided by an internal +wall of a thick tendinous substance. + +*Quoin is not a Euclidean term. It belongs to the pure nautical +mathematics. I know not that it has been defined before. A quoin is a +solid which differs from a wedge in having its sharp end formed by the +steep inclination of one side, instead of the mutual tapering of both +sides. + +The lower subdivided part, called the junk, is one immense honeycomb of +oil, formed by the crossing and recrossing, into ten thousand +infiltrated cells, of tough elastic white fibres throughout its whole +extent. The upper part, known as the Case, may be regarded as the great +Heidelburgh Tun of the Sperm Whale. And as that famous great tierce is +mystically carved in front, so the whales vast plaited forehead forms +innumerable strange devices for the emblematical adornment of his +wondrous tun. Moreover, as that of Heidelburgh was always replenished +with the most excellent of the wines of the Rhenish valleys, so the tun +of the whale contains by far the most precious of all his oily +vintages; namely, the highly-prized spermaceti, in its absolutely pure, +limpid, and odoriferous state. Nor is this precious substance found +unalloyed in any other part of the creature. Though in life it remains +perfectly fluid, yet, upon exposure to the air, after death, it soon +begins to concrete; sending forth beautiful crystalline shoots, as when +the first thin delicate ice is just forming in water. A large whales +case generally yields about five hundred gallons of sperm, though from +unavoidable circumstances, considerable of it is spilled, leaks, and +dribbles away, or is otherwise irrevocably lost in the ticklish +business of securing what you can. + +I know not with what fine and costly material the Heidelburgh Tun was +coated within, but in superlative richness that coating could not +possibly have compared with the silken pearl-coloured membrane, like +the lining of a fine pelisse, forming the inner surface of the Sperm +Whales case. + +It will have been seen that the Heidelburgh Tun of the Sperm Whale +embraces the entire length of the entire top of the head; and sinceas +has been elsewhere set forththe head embraces one third of the whole +length of the creature, then setting that length down at eighty feet +for a good sized whale, you have more than twenty-six feet for the +depth of the tun, when it is lengthwise hoisted up and down against a +ships side. + +As in decapitating the whale, the operators instrument is brought +close to the spot where an entrance is subsequently forced into the +spermaceti magazine; he has, therefore, to be uncommonly heedful, lest +a careless, untimely stroke should invade the sanctuary and wastingly +let out its invaluable contents. It is this decapitated end of the +head, also, which is at last elevated out of the water, and retained in +that position by the enormous cutting tackles, whose hempen +combinations, on one side, make quite a wilderness of ropes in that +quarter. + +Thus much being said, attend now, I pray you, to that marvellous andin +this particular instancealmost fatal operation whereby the Sperm +Whales great Heidelburgh Tun is tapped. + + +CHAPTER 78. Cistern and Buckets. + +Nimble as a cat, Tashtego mounts aloft; and without altering his erect +posture, runs straight out upon the overhanging mainyard-arm, to the +part where it exactly projects over the hoisted Tun. He has carried +with him a light tackle called a whip, consisting of only two parts, +travelling through a single-sheaved block. Securing this block, so that +it hangs down from the yard-arm, he swings one end of the rope, till it +is caught and firmly held by a hand on deck. Then, hand-over-hand, down +the other part, the Indian drops through the air, till dexterously he +lands on the summit of the head. Therestill high elevated above the +rest of the company, to whom he vivaciously crieshe seems some Turkish +Muezzin calling the good people to prayers from the top of a tower. A +short-handled sharp spade being sent up to him, he diligently searches +for the proper place to begin breaking into the Tun. In this business +he proceeds very heedfully, like a treasure-hunter in some old house, +sounding the walls to find where the gold is masoned in. By the time +this cautious search is over, a stout iron-bound bucket, precisely like +a well-bucket, has been attached to one end of the whip; while the +other end, being stretched across the deck, is there held by two or +three alert hands. These last now hoist the bucket within grasp of the +Indian, to whom another person has reached up a very long pole. +Inserting this pole into the bucket, Tashtego downward guides the +bucket into the Tun, till it entirely disappears; then giving the word +to the seamen at the whip, up comes the bucket again, all bubbling like +a dairy-maids pail of new milk. Carefully lowered from its height, the +full-freighted vessel is caught by an appointed hand, and quickly +emptied into a large tub. Then remounting aloft, it again goes through +the same round until the deep cistern will yield no more. Towards the +end, Tashtego has to ram his long pole harder and harder, and deeper +and deeper into the Tun, until some twenty feet of the pole have gone +down. + +Now, the people of the Pequod had been baling some time in this way; +several tubs had been filled with the fragrant sperm; when all at once +a queer accident happened. Whether it was that Tashtego, that wild +Indian, was so heedless and reckless as to let go for a moment his +one-handed hold on the great cabled tackles suspending the head; or +whether the place where he stood was so treacherous and oozy; or +whether the Evil One himself would have it to fall out so, without +stating his particular reasons; how it was exactly, there is no telling +now; but, on a sudden, as the eightieth or ninetieth bucket came +suckingly upmy God! poor Tashtegolike the twin reciprocating bucket +in a veritable well, dropped head-foremost down into this great Tun of +Heidelburgh, and with a horrible oily gurgling, went clean out of +sight! + +Man overboard! cried Daggoo, who amid the general consternation first +came to his senses. Swing the bucket this way! and putting one foot +into it, so as the better to secure his slippery hand-hold on the whip +itself, the hoisters ran him high up to the top of the head, almost +before Tashtego could have reached its interior bottom. Meantime, there +was a terrible tumult. Looking over the side, they saw the before +lifeless head throbbing and heaving just below the surface of the sea, +as if that moment seized with some momentous idea; whereas it was only +the poor Indian unconsciously revealing by those struggles the perilous +depth to which he had sunk. + +At this instant, while Daggoo, on the summit of the head, was clearing +the whipwhich had somehow got foul of the great cutting tacklesa +sharp cracking noise was heard; and to the unspeakable horror of all, +one of the two enormous hooks suspending the head tore out, and with a +vast vibration the enormous mass sideways swung, till the drunk ship +reeled and shook as if smitten by an iceberg. The one remaining hook, +upon which the entire strain now depended, seemed every instant to be +on the point of giving way; an event still more likely from the violent +motions of the head. + +Come down, come down! yelled the seamen to Daggoo, but with one hand +holding on to the heavy tackles, so that if the head should drop, he +would still remain suspended; the negro having cleared the foul line, +rammed down the bucket into the now collapsed well, meaning that the +buried harpooneer should grasp it, and so be hoisted out. + +In heavens name, man, cried Stubb, are you ramming home a cartridge +there?Avast! How will that help him; jamming that iron-bound bucket on +top of his head? Avast, will ye! + +Stand clear of the tackle! cried a voice like the bursting of a +rocket. + +Almost in the same instant, with a thunder-boom, the enormous mass +dropped into the sea, like Niagaras Table-Rock into the whirlpool; the +suddenly relieved hull rolled away from it, to far down her glittering +copper; and all caught their breath, as half swingingnow over the +sailors heads, and now over the waterDaggoo, through a thick mist of +spray, was dimly beheld clinging to the pendulous tackles, while poor, +buried-alive Tashtego was sinking utterly down to the bottom of the +sea! But hardly had the blinding vapor cleared away, when a naked +figure with a boarding-sword in his hand, was for one swift moment seen +hovering over the bulwarks. The next, a loud splash announced that my +brave Queequeg had dived to the rescue. One packed rush was made to the +side, and every eye counted every ripple, as moment followed moment, +and no sign of either the sinker or the diver could be seen. Some hands +now jumped into a boat alongside, and pushed a little off from the +ship. + +Ha! ha! cried Daggoo, all at once, from his now quiet, swinging perch +overhead; and looking further off from the side, we saw an arm thrust +upright from the blue waves; a sight strange to see, as an arm thrust +forth from the grass over a grave. + +Both! both!it is both!cried Daggoo again with a joyful shout; and +soon after, Queequeg was seen boldly striking out with one hand, and +with the other clutching the long hair of the Indian. Drawn into the +waiting boat, they were quickly brought to the deck; but Tashtego was +long in coming to, and Queequeg did not look very brisk. + +Now, how had this noble rescue been accomplished? Why, diving after the +slowly descending head, Queequeg with his keen sword had made side +lunges near its bottom, so as to scuttle a large hole there; then +dropping his sword, had thrust his long arm far inwards and upwards, +and so hauled out poor Tash by the head. He averred, that upon first +thrusting in for him, a leg was presented; but well knowing that that +was not as it ought to be, and might occasion great trouble;he had +thrust back the leg, and by a dexterous heave and toss, had wrought a +somerset upon the Indian; so that with the next trial, he came forth in +the good old wayhead foremost. As for the great head itself, that was +doing as well as could be expected. + +And thus, through the courage and great skill in obstetrics of +Queequeg, the deliverance, or rather, delivery of Tashtego, was +successfully accomplished, in the teeth, too, of the most untoward and +apparently hopeless impediments; which is a lesson by no means to be +forgotten. Midwifery should be taught in the same course with fencing +and boxing, riding and rowing. + +I know that this queer adventure of the Gay-Headers will be sure to +seem incredible to some landsmen, though they themselves may have +either seen or heard of some ones falling into a cistern ashore; an +accident which not seldom happens, and with much less reason too than +the Indians, considering the exceeding slipperiness of the curb of the +Sperm Whales well. + +But, peradventure, it may be sagaciously urged, how is this? We thought +the tissued, infiltrated head of the Sperm Whale, was the lightest and +most corky part about him; and yet thou makest it sink in an element of +a far greater specific gravity than itself. We have thee there. Not at +all, but I have ye; for at the time poor Tash fell in, the case had +been nearly emptied of its lighter contents, leaving little but the +dense tendinous wall of the wella double welded, hammered substance, +as I have before said, much heavier than the sea water, and a lump of +which sinks in it like lead almost. But the tendency to rapid sinking +in this substance was in the present instance materially counteracted +by the other parts of the head remaining undetached from it, so that it +sank very slowly and deliberately indeed, affording Queequeg a fair +chance for performing his agile obstetrics on the run, as you may say. +Yes, it was a running delivery, so it was. + +Now, had Tashtego perished in that head, it had been a very precious +perishing; smothered in the very whitest and daintiest of fragrant +spermaceti; coffined, hearsed, and tombed in the secret inner chamber +and sanctum sanctorum of the whale. Only one sweeter end can readily be +recalledthe delicious death of an Ohio honey-hunter, who seeking honey +in the crotch of a hollow tree, found such exceeding store of it, that +leaning too far over, it sucked him in, so that he died embalmed. How +many, think ye, have likewise fallen into Platos honey head, and +sweetly perished there? + + +CHAPTER 79. The Prairie. + +To scan the lines of his face, or feel the bumps on the head of this +Leviathan; this is a thing which no Physiognomist or Phrenologist has +as yet undertaken. Such an enterprise would seem almost as hopeful as +for Lavater to have scrutinized the wrinkles on the Rock of Gibraltar, +or for Gall to have mounted a ladder and manipulated the Dome of the +Pantheon. Still, in that famous work of his, Lavater not only treats of +the various faces of men, but also attentively studies the faces of +horses, birds, serpents, and fish; and dwells in detail upon the +modifications of expression discernible therein. Nor have Gall and his +disciple Spurzheim failed to throw out some hints touching the +phrenological characteristics of other beings than man. Therefore, +though I am but ill qualified for a pioneer, in the application of +these two semi-sciences to the whale, I will do my endeavor. I try all +things; I achieve what I can. + +Physiognomically regarded, the Sperm Whale is an anomalous creature. He +has no proper nose. And since the nose is the central and most +conspicuous of the features; and since it perhaps most modifies and +finally controls their combined expression; hence it would seem that +its entire absence, as an external appendage, must very largely affect +the countenance of the whale. For as in landscape gardening, a spire, +cupola, monument, or tower of some sort, is deemed almost indispensable +to the completion of the scene; so no face can be physiognomically in +keeping without the elevated open-work belfry of the nose. Dash the +nose from Phidiass marble Jove, and what a sorry remainder! +Nevertheless, Leviathan is of so mighty a magnitude, all his +proportions are so stately, that the same deficiency which in the +sculptured Jove were hideous, in him is no blemish at all. Nay, it is +an added grandeur. A nose to the whale would have been impertinent. As +on your physiognomical voyage you sail round his vast head in your +jolly-boat, your noble conceptions of him are never insulted by the +reflection that he has a nose to be pulled. A pestilent conceit, which +so often will insist upon obtruding even when beholding the mightiest +royal beadle on his throne. + +In some particulars, perhaps the most imposing physiognomical view to +be had of the Sperm Whale, is that of the full front of his head. This +aspect is sublime. + +In thought, a fine human brow is like the East when troubled with the +morning. In the repose of the pasture, the curled brow of the bull has +a touch of the grand in it. Pushing heavy cannon up mountain defiles, +the elephants brow is majestic. Human or animal, the mystical brow is +as that great golden seal affixed by the German emperors to their +decrees. It signifiesGod: done this day by my hand. But in most +creatures, nay in man himself, very often the brow is but a mere strip +of alpine land lying along the snow line. Few are the foreheads which +like Shakespeares or Melancthons rise so high, and descend so low, +that the eyes themselves seem clear, eternal, tideless mountain lakes; +and all above them in the foreheads wrinkles, you seem to track the +antlered thoughts descending there to drink, as the Highland hunters +track the snow prints of the deer. But in the great Sperm Whale, this +high and mighty god-like dignity inherent in the brow is so immensely +amplified, that gazing on it, in that full front view, you feel the +Deity and the dread powers more forcibly than in beholding any other +object in living nature. For you see no one point precisely; not one +distinct feature is revealed; no nose, eyes, ears, or mouth; no face; +he has none, proper; nothing but that one broad firmament of a +forehead, pleated with riddles; dumbly lowering with the doom of boats, +and ships, and men. Nor, in profile, does this wondrous brow diminish; +though that way viewed its grandeur does not domineer upon you so. In +profile, you plainly perceive that horizontal, semi-crescentic +depression in the foreheads middle, which, in man, is Lavaters mark +of genius. + +But how? Genius in the Sperm Whale? Has the Sperm Whale ever written a +book, spoken a speech? No, his great genius is declared in his doing +nothing particular to prove it. It is moreover declared in his +pyramidical silence. And this reminds me that had the great Sperm Whale +been known to the young Orient World, he would have been deified by +their child-magian thoughts. They deified the crocodile of the Nile, +because the crocodile is tongueless; and the Sperm Whale has no tongue, +or at least it is so exceedingly small, as to be incapable of +protrusion. If hereafter any highly cultured, poetical nation shall +lure back to their birth-right, the merry May-day gods of old; and +livingly enthrone them again in the now egotistical sky; in the now +unhaunted hill; then be sure, exalted to Joves high seat, the great +Sperm Whale shall lord it. + +Champollion deciphered the wrinkled granite hieroglyphics. But there is +no Champollion to decipher the Egypt of every mans and every beings +face. Physiognomy, like every other human science, is but a passing +fable. If then, Sir William Jones, who read in thirty languages, could +not read the simplest peasants face in its profounder and more subtle +meanings, how may unlettered Ishmael hope to read the awful Chaldee of +the Sperm Whales brow? I but put that brow before you. Read it if you +can. + + +CHAPTER 80. The Nut. + +If the Sperm Whale be physiognomically a Sphinx, to the phrenologist +his brain seems that geometrical circle which it is impossible to +square. + +In the full-grown creature the skull will measure at least twenty feet +in length. Unhinge the lower jaw, and the side view of this skull is as +the side of a moderately inclined plane resting throughout on a level +base. But in lifeas we have elsewhere seenthis inclined plane is +angularly filled up, and almost squared by the enormous superincumbent +mass of the junk and sperm. At the high end the skull forms a crater to +bed that part of the mass; while under the long floor of this craterin +another cavity seldom exceeding ten inches in length and as many in +depthreposes the mere handful of this monsters brain. The brain is at +least twenty feet from his apparent forehead in life; it is hidden away +behind its vast outworks, like the innermost citadel within the +amplified fortifications of Quebec. So like a choice casket is it +secreted in him, that I have known some whalemen who peremptorily deny +that the Sperm Whale has any other brain than that palpable semblance +of one formed by the cubic-yards of his sperm magazine. Lying in +strange folds, courses, and convolutions, to their apprehensions, it +seems more in keeping with the idea of his general might to regard that +mystic part of him as the seat of his intelligence. + +It is plain, then, that phrenologically the head of this Leviathan, in +the creatures living intact state, is an entire delusion. As for his +true brain, you can then see no indications of it, nor feel any. The +whale, like all things that are mighty, wears a false brow to the +common world. + +If you unload his skull of its spermy heaps and then take a rear view +of its rear end, which is the high end, you will be struck by its +resemblance to the human skull, beheld in the same situation, and from +the same point of view. Indeed, place this reversed skull (scaled down +to the human magnitude) among a plate of mens skulls, and you would +involuntarily confound it with them; and remarking the depressions on +one part of its summit, in phrenological phrase you would sayThis man +had no self-esteem, and no veneration. And by those negations, +considered along with the affirmative fact of his prodigious bulk and +power, you can best form to yourself the truest, though not the most +exhilarating conception of what the most exalted potency is. + +But if from the comparative dimensions of the whales proper brain, you +deem it incapable of being adequately charted, then I have another idea +for you. If you attentively regard almost any quadrupeds spine, you +will be struck with the resemblance of its vertebr to a strung +necklace of dwarfed skulls, all bearing rudimental resemblance to the +skull proper. It is a German conceit, that the vertebr are absolutely +undeveloped skulls. But the curious external resemblance, I take it the +Germans were not the first men to perceive. A foreign friend once +pointed it out to me, in the skeleton of a foe he had slain, and with +the vertebr of which he was inlaying, in a sort of basso-relievo, the +beaked prow of his canoe. Now, I consider that the phrenologists have +omitted an important thing in not pushing their investigations from the +cerebellum through the spinal canal. For I believe that much of a mans +character will be found betokened in his backbone. I would rather feel +your spine than your skull, whoever you are. A thin joist of a spine +never yet upheld a full and noble soul. I rejoice in my spine, as in +the firm audacious staff of that flag which I fling half out to the +world. + +Apply this spinal branch of phrenology to the Sperm Whale. His cranial +cavity is continuous with the first neck-vertebra; and in that vertebra +the bottom of the spinal canal will measure ten inches across, being +eight in height, and of a triangular figure with the base downwards. As +it passes through the remaining vertebr the canal tapers in size, but +for a considerable distance remains of large capacity. Now, of course, +this canal is filled with much the same strangely fibrous substancethe +spinal cordas the brain; and directly communicates with the brain. And +what is still more, for many feet after emerging from the brains +cavity, the spinal cord remains of an undecreasing girth, almost equal +to that of the brain. Under all these circumstances, would it be +unreasonable to survey and map out the whales spine phrenologically? +For, viewed in this light, the wonderful comparative smallness of his +brain proper is more than compensated by the wonderful comparative +magnitude of his spinal cord. + +But leaving this hint to operate as it may with the phrenologists, I +would merely assume the spinal theory for a moment, in reference to the +Sperm Whales hump. This august hump, if I mistake not, rises over one +of the larger vertebr, and is, therefore, in some sort, the outer +convex mould of it. From its relative situation then, I should call +this high hump the organ of firmness or indomitableness in the Sperm +Whale. And that the great monster is indomitable, you will yet have +reason to know. + + +CHAPTER 81. The Pequod Meets The Virgin. + +The predestinated day arrived, and we duly met the ship Jungfrau, +Derick De Deer, master, of Bremen. + +At one time the greatest whaling people in the world, the Dutch and +Germans are now among the least; but here and there at very wide +intervals of latitude and longitude, you still occasionally meet with +their flag in the Pacific. + +For some reason, the Jungfrau seemed quite eager to pay her respects. +While yet some distance from the Pequod, she rounded to, and dropping a +boat, her captain was impelled towards us, impatiently standing in the +bows instead of the stern. + +What has he in his hand there? cried Starbuck, pointing to something +wavingly held by the German. Impossible!a lamp-feeder! + +Not that, said Stubb, no, no, its a coffee-pot, Mr. Starbuck; hes +coming off to make us our coffee, is the Yarman; dont you see that big +tin can there alongside of him?thats his boiling water. Oh! hes all +right, is the Yarman. + +Go along with you, cried Flask, its a lamp-feeder and an oil-can. +Hes out of oil, and has come a-begging. + +However curious it may seem for an oil-ship to be borrowing oil on the +whale-ground, and however much it may invertedly contradict the old +proverb about carrying coals to Newcastle, yet sometimes such a thing +really happens; and in the present case Captain Derick De Deer did +indubitably conduct a lamp-feeder as Flask did declare. + +As he mounted the deck, Ahab abruptly accosted him, without at all +heeding what he had in his hand; but in his broken lingo, the German +soon evinced his complete ignorance of the White Whale; immediately +turning the conversation to his lamp-feeder and oil can, with some +remarks touching his having to turn into his hammock at night in +profound darknesshis last drop of Bremen oil being gone, and not a +single flying-fish yet captured to supply the deficiency; concluding by +hinting that his ship was indeed what in the Fishery is technically +called a _clean_ one (that is, an empty one), well deserving the name +of Jungfrau or the Virgin. + +His necessities supplied, Derick departed; but he had not gained his +ships side, when whales were almost simultaneously raised from the +mast-heads of both vessels; and so eager for the chase was Derick, that +without pausing to put his oil-can and lamp-feeder aboard, he slewed +round his boat and made after the leviathan lamp-feeders. + +Now, the game having risen to leeward, he and the other three German +boats that soon followed him, had considerably the start of the +Pequods keels. There were eight whales, an average pod. Aware of their +danger, they were going all abreast with great speed straight before +the wind, rubbing their flanks as closely as so many spans of horses in +harness. They left a great, wide wake, as though continually unrolling +a great wide parchment upon the sea. + +Full in this rapid wake, and many fathoms in the rear, swam a huge, +humped old bull, which by his comparatively slow progress, as well as +by the unusual yellowish incrustations overgrowing him, seemed +afflicted with the jaundice, or some other infirmity. Whether this +whale belonged to the pod in advance, seemed questionable; for it is +not customary for such venerable leviathans to be at all social. +Nevertheless, he stuck to their wake, though indeed their back water +must have retarded him, because the white-bone or swell at his broad +muzzle was a dashed one, like the swell formed when two hostile +currents meet. His spout was short, slow, and laborious; coming forth +with a choking sort of gush, and spending itself in torn shreds, +followed by strange subterranean commotions in him, which seemed to +have egress at his other buried extremity, causing the waters behind +him to upbubble. + +Whos got some paregoric? said Stubb, he has the stomach-ache, Im +afraid. Lord, think of having half an acre of stomach-ache! Adverse +winds are holding mad Christmas in him, boys. Its the first foul wind +I ever knew to blow from astern; but look, did ever whale yaw so +before? it must be, hes lost his tiller. + +As an overladen Indiaman bearing down the Hindostan coast with a deck +load of frightened horses, careens, buries, rolls, and wallows on her +way; so did this old whale heave his aged bulk, and now and then partly +turning over on his cumbrous rib-ends, expose the cause of his devious +wake in the unnatural stump of his starboard fin. Whether he had lost +that fin in battle, or had been born without it, it were hard to say. + +Only wait a bit, old chap, and Ill give ye a sling for that wounded +arm, cried cruel Flask, pointing to the whale-line near him. + +Mind he dont sling thee with it, cried Starbuck. Give way, or the +German will have him. + +With one intent all the combined rival boats were pointed for this one +fish, because not only was he the largest, and therefore the most +valuable whale, but he was nearest to them, and the other whales were +going with such great velocity, moreover, as almost to defy pursuit for +the time. At this juncture the Pequods keels had shot by the three +German boats last lowered; but from the great start he had had, +Dericks boat still led the chase, though every moment neared by his +foreign rivals. The only thing they feared, was, that from being +already so nigh to his mark, he would be enabled to dart his iron +before they could completely overtake and pass him. As for Derick, he +seemed quite confident that this would be the case, and occasionally +with a deriding gesture shook his lamp-feeder at the other boats. + +The ungracious and ungrateful dog! cried Starbuck; he mocks and +dares me with the very poor-box I filled for him not five minutes +ago!then in his old intense whisperGive way, greyhounds! Dog to +it! + +I tell ye what it is, mencried Stubb to his crewits against my +religion to get mad; but Id like to eat that villainous +YarmanPullwont ye? Are ye going to let that rascal beat ye? Do ye +love brandy? A hogshead of brandy, then, to the best man. Come, why +dont some of ye burst a blood-vessel? Whos that been dropping an +anchor overboardwe dont budge an inchwere becalmed. Halloo, heres +grass growing in the boats bottomand by the Lord, the mast theres +budding. This wont do, boys. Look at that Yarman! The short and long +of it is, men, will ye spit fire or not? + +Oh! see the suds he makes! cried Flask, dancing up and downWhat a +humpOh, _do_ pile on the beeflays like a log! Oh! my lads, _do_ +springslap-jacks and quahogs for supper, you know, my ladsbaked clams +and muffinsoh, _do_, _do_, spring,hes a hundred barrellerdont lose +him nowdont oh, _dont!_see that YarmanOh, wont ye pull for your +duff, my ladssuch a sog! such a sogger! Dont ye love sperm? There +goes three thousand dollars, men!a bank!a whole bank! The bank of +England!Oh, _do_, _do_, _do!_Whats that Yarman about now? + +At this moment Derick was in the act of pitching his lamp-feeder at the +advancing boats, and also his oil-can; perhaps with the double view of +retarding his rivals way, and at the same time economically +accelerating his own by the momentary impetus of the backward toss. + +The unmannerly Dutch dogger! cried Stubb. Pull now, men, like fifty +thousand line-of-battle-ship loads of red-haired devils. What dye say, +Tashtego; are you the man to snap your spine in two-and-twenty pieces +for the honor of old Gayhead? What dye say? + +I say, pull like god-dam,cried the Indian. + +Fiercely, but evenly incited by the taunts of the German, the Pequods +three boats now began ranging almost abreast; and, so disposed, +momentarily neared him. In that fine, loose, chivalrous attitude of the +headsman when drawing near to his prey, the three mates stood up +proudly, occasionally backing the after oarsman with an exhilarating +cry of, There she slides, now! Hurrah for the white-ash breeze! Down +with the Yarman! Sail over him! + +But so decided an original start had Derick had, that spite of all +their gallantry, he would have proved the victor in this race, had not +a righteous judgment descended upon him in a crab which caught the +blade of his midship oarsman. While this clumsy lubber was striving to +free his white-ash, and while, in consequence, Dericks boat was nigh +to capsizing, and he thundering away at his men in a mighty rage;that +was a good time for Starbuck, Stubb, and Flask. With a shout, they took +a mortal start forwards, and slantingly ranged up on the Germans +quarter. An instant more, and all four boats were diagonically in the +whales immediate wake, while stretching from them, on both sides, was +the foaming swell that he made. + +It was a terrific, most pitiable, and maddening sight. The whale was +now going head out, and sending his spout before him in a continual +tormented jet; while his one poor fin beat his side in an agony of +fright. Now to this hand, now to that, he yawed in his faltering +flight, and still at every billow that he broke, he spasmodically sank +in the sea, or sideways rolled towards the sky his one beating fin. So +have I seen a bird with clipped wing making affrighted broken circles +in the air, vainly striving to escape the piratical hawks. But the bird +has a voice, and with plaintive cries will make known her fear; but the +fear of this vast dumb brute of the sea, was chained up and enchanted +in him; he had no voice, save that choking respiration through his +spiracle, and this made the sight of him unspeakably pitiable; while +still, in his amazing bulk, portcullis jaw, and omnipotent tail, there +was enough to appal the stoutest man who so pitied. + +Seeing now that but a very few moments more would give the Pequods +boats the advantage, and rather than be thus foiled of his game, Derick +chose to hazard what to him must have seemed a most unusually long +dart, ere the last chance would for ever escape. + +But no sooner did his harpooneer stand up for the stroke, than all +three tigersQueequeg, Tashtego, Daggooinstinctively sprang to their +feet, and standing in a diagonal row, simultaneously pointed their +barbs; and darted over the head of the German harpooneer, their three +Nantucket irons entered the whale. Blinding vapors of foam and +white-fire! The three boats, in the first fury of the whales headlong +rush, bumped the Germans aside with such force, that both Derick and +his baffled harpooneer were spilled out, and sailed over by the three +flying keels. + +Dont be afraid, my butter-boxes, cried Stubb, casting a passing +glance upon them as he shot by; yell be picked up presentlyall +rightI saw some sharks asternSt. Bernards dogs, you knowrelieve +distressed travellers. Hurrah! this is the way to sail now. Every keel +a sunbeam! Hurrah!Here we go like three tin kettles at the tail of a +mad cougar! This puts me in mind of fastening to an elephant in a +tilbury on a plainmakes the wheel-spokes fly, boys, when you fasten to +him that way; and theres danger of being pitched out too, when you +strike a hill. Hurrah! this is the way a fellow feels when hes going +to Davy Jonesall a rush down an endless inclined plane! Hurrah! this +whale carries the everlasting mail! + +But the monsters run was a brief one. Giving a sudden gasp, he +tumultuously sounded. With a grating rush, the three lines flew round +the loggerheads with such a force as to gouge deep grooves in them; +while so fearful were the harpooneers that this rapid sounding would +soon exhaust the lines, that using all their dexterous might, they +caught repeated smoking turns with the rope to hold on; till at +lastowing to the perpendicular strain from the lead-lined chocks of +the boats, whence the three ropes went straight down into the bluethe +gunwales of the bows were almost even with the water, while the three +sterns tilted high in the air. And the whale soon ceasing to sound, for +some time they remained in that attitude, fearful of expending more +line, though the position was a little ticklish. But though boats have +been taken down and lost in this way, yet it is this holding on, as +it is called; this hooking up by the sharp barbs of his live flesh from +the back; this it is that often torments the Leviathan into soon rising +again to meet the sharp lance of his foes. Yet not to speak of the +peril of the thing, it is to be doubted whether this course is always +the best; for it is but reasonable to presume, that the longer the +stricken whale stays under water, the more he is exhausted. Because, +owing to the enormous surface of himin a full grown sperm whale +something less than 2000 square feetthe pressure of the water is +immense. We all know what an astonishing atmospheric weight we +ourselves stand up under; even here, above-ground, in the air; how +vast, then, the burden of a whale, bearing on his back a column of two +hundred fathoms of ocean! It must at least equal the weight of fifty +atmospheres. One whaleman has estimated it at the weight of twenty +line-of-battle ships, with all their guns, and stores, and men on +board. + +As the three boats lay there on that gently rolling sea, gazing down +into its eternal blue noon; and as not a single groan or cry of any +sort, nay, not so much as a ripple or a bubble came up from its depths; +what landsman would have thought, that beneath all that silence and +placidity, the utmost monster of the seas was writhing and wrenching in +agony! Not eight inches of perpendicular rope were visible at the bows. +Seems it credible that by three such thin threads the great Leviathan +was suspended like the big weight to an eight day clock. Suspended? and +to what? To three bits of board. Is this the creature of whom it was +once so triumphantly saidCanst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? +or his head with fish-spears? The sword of him that layeth at him +cannot hold, the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon: he esteemeth iron +as straw; the arrow cannot make him flee; darts are counted as stubble; +he laugheth at the shaking of a spear! This the creature? this he? Oh! +that unfulfilments should follow the prophets. For with the strength of +a thousand thighs in his tail, Leviathan had run his head under the +mountains of the sea, to hide him from the Pequods fish-spears! + +In that sloping afternoon sunlight, the shadows that the three boats +sent down beneath the surface, must have been long enough and broad +enough to shade half Xerxes army. Who can tell how appalling to the +wounded whale must have been such huge phantoms flitting over his head! + +Stand by, men; he stirs, cried Starbuck, as the three lines suddenly +vibrated in the water, distinctly conducting upwards to them, as by +magnetic wires, the life and death throbs of the whale, so that every +oarsman felt them in his seat. The next moment, relieved in great part +from the downward strain at the bows, the boats gave a sudden bounce +upwards, as a small icefield will, when a dense herd of white bears are +scared from it into the sea. + +Haul in! Haul in! cried Starbuck again; hes rising. + +The lines, of which, hardly an instant before, not one hands breadth +could have been gained, were now in long quick coils flung back all +dripping into the boats, and soon the whale broke water within two +ships lengths of the hunters. + +His motions plainly denoted his extreme exhaustion. In most land +animals there are certain valves or flood-gates in many of their veins, +whereby when wounded, the blood is in some degree at least instantly +shut off in certain directions. Not so with the whale; one of whose +peculiarities it is to have an entire non-valvular structure of the +blood-vessels, so that when pierced even by so small a point as a +harpoon, a deadly drain is at once begun upon his whole arterial +system; and when this is heightened by the extraordinary pressure of +water at a great distance below the surface, his life may be said to +pour from him in incessant streams. Yet so vast is the quantity of +blood in him, and so distant and numerous its interior fountains, that +he will keep thus bleeding and bleeding for a considerable period; even +as in a drought a river will flow, whose source is in the well-springs +of far-off and undiscernible hills. Even now, when the boats pulled +upon this whale, and perilously drew over his swaying flukes, and the +lances were darted into him, they were followed by steady jets from the +new made wound, which kept continually playing, while the natural +spout-hole in his head was only at intervals, however rapid, sending +its affrighted moisture into the air. From this last vent no blood yet +came, because no vital part of him had thus far been struck. His life, +as they significantly call it, was untouched. + +As the boats now more closely surrounded him, the whole upper part of +his form, with much of it that is ordinarily submerged, was plainly +revealed. His eyes, or rather the places where his eyes had been, were +beheld. As strange misgrown masses gather in the knot-holes of the +noblest oaks when prostrate, so from the points which the whales eyes +had once occupied, now protruded blind bulbs, horribly pitiable to see. +But pity there was none. For all his old age, and his one arm, and his +blind eyes, he must die the death and be murdered, in order to light +the gay bridals and other merry-makings of men, and also to illuminate +the solemn churches that preach unconditional inoffensiveness by all to +all. Still rolling in his blood, at last he partially disclosed a +strangely discoloured bunch or protuberance, the size of a bushel, low +down on the flank. + +A nice spot, cried Flask; just let me prick him there once. + +Avast! cried Starbuck, theres no need of that! + +But humane Starbuck was too late. At the instant of the dart an +ulcerous jet shot from this cruel wound, and goaded by it into more +than sufferable anguish, the whale now spouting thick blood, with swift +fury blindly darted at the craft, bespattering them and their glorying +crews all over with showers of gore, capsizing Flasks boat and marring +the bows. It was his death stroke. For, by this time, so spent was he +by loss of blood, that he helplessly rolled away from the wreck he had +made; lay panting on his side, impotently flapped with his stumped fin, +then over and over slowly revolved like a waning world; turned up the +white secrets of his belly; lay like a log, and died. It was most +piteous, that last expiring spout. As when by unseen hands the water is +gradually drawn off from some mighty fountain, and with half-stifled +melancholy gurglings the spray-column lowers and lowers to the +groundso the last long dying spout of the whale. + +Soon, while the crews were awaiting the arrival of the ship, the body +showed symptoms of sinking with all its treasures unrifled. +Immediately, by Starbucks orders, lines were secured to it at +different points, so that ere long every boat was a buoy; the sunken +whale being suspended a few inches beneath them by the cords. By very +heedful management, when the ship drew nigh, the whale was transferred +to her side, and was strongly secured there by the stiffest +fluke-chains, for it was plain that unless artificially upheld, the +body would at once sink to the bottom. + +It so chanced that almost upon first cutting into him with the spade, +the entire length of a corroded harpoon was found imbedded in his +flesh, on the lower part of the bunch before described. But as the +stumps of harpoons are frequently found in the dead bodies of captured +whales, with the flesh perfectly healed around them, and no prominence +of any kind to denote their place; therefore, there must needs have +been some other unknown reason in the present case fully to account for +the ulceration alluded to. But still more curious was the fact of a +lance-head of stone being found in him, not far from the buried iron, +the flesh perfectly firm about it. Who had darted that stone lance? And +when? It might have been darted by some Nor West Indian long before +America was discovered. + +What other marvels might have been rummaged out of this monstrous +cabinet there is no telling. But a sudden stop was put to further +discoveries, by the ships being unprecedentedly dragged over sideways +to the sea, owing to the bodys immensely increasing tendency to sink. +However, Starbuck, who had the ordering of affairs, hung on to it to +the last; hung on to it so resolutely, indeed, that when at length the +ship would have been capsized, if still persisting in locking arms with +the body; then, when the command was given to break clear from it, such +was the immovable strain upon the timber-heads to which the +fluke-chains and cables were fastened, that it was impossible to cast +them off. Meantime everything in the Pequod was aslant. To cross to the +other side of the deck was like walking up the steep gabled roof of a +house. The ship groaned and gasped. Many of the ivory inlayings of her +bulwarks and cabins were started from their places, by the unnatural +dislocation. In vain handspikes and crows were brought to bear upon the +immovable fluke-chains, to pry them adrift from the timberheads; and so +low had the whale now settled that the submerged ends could not be at +all approached, while every moment whole tons of ponderosity seemed +added to the sinking bulk, and the ship seemed on the point of going +over. + +Hold on, hold on, wont ye? cried Stubb to the body, dont be in +such a devil of a hurry to sink! By thunder, men, we must do something +or go for it. No use prying there; avast, I say with your handspikes, +and run one of ye for a prayer book and a pen-knife, and cut the big +chains. + +Knife? Aye, aye, cried Queequeg, and seizing the carpenters heavy +hatchet, he leaned out of a porthole, and steel to iron, began slashing +at the largest fluke-chains. But a few strokes, full of sparks, were +given, when the exceeding strain effected the rest. With a terrific +snap, every fastening went adrift; the ship righted, the carcase sank. + +Now, this occasional inevitable sinking of the recently killed Sperm +Whale is a very curious thing; nor has any fisherman yet adequately +accounted for it. Usually the dead Sperm Whale floats with great +buoyancy, with its side or belly considerably elevated above the +surface. If the only whales that thus sank were old, meagre, and +broken-hearted creatures, their pads of lard diminished and all their +bones heavy and rheumatic; then you might with some reason assert that +this sinking is caused by an uncommon specific gravity in the fish so +sinking, consequent upon this absence of buoyant matter in him. But it +is not so. For young whales, in the highest health, and swelling with +noble aspirations, prematurely cut off in the warm flush and May of +life, with all their panting lard about them; even these brawny, +buoyant heroes do sometimes sink. + +Be it said, however, that the Sperm Whale is far less liable to this +accident than any other species. Where one of that sort go down, twenty +Right Whales do. This difference in the species is no doubt imputable +in no small degree to the greater quantity of bone in the Right Whale; +his Venetian blinds alone sometimes weighing more than a ton; from this +incumbrance the Sperm Whale is wholly free. But there are instances +where, after the lapse of many hours or several days, the sunken whale +again rises, more buoyant than in life. But the reason of this is +obvious. Gases are generated in him; he swells to a prodigious +magnitude; becomes a sort of animal balloon. A line-of-battle ship +could hardly keep him under then. In the Shore Whaling, on soundings, +among the Bays of New Zealand, when a Right Whale gives token of +sinking, they fasten buoys to him, with plenty of rope; so that when +the body has gone down, they know where to look for it when it shall +have ascended again. + +It was not long after the sinking of the body that a cry was heard from +the Pequods mast-heads, announcing that the Jungfrau was again +lowering her boats; though the only spout in sight was that of a +Fin-Back, belonging to the species of uncapturable whales, because of +its incredible power of swimming. Nevertheless, the Fin-Backs spout is +so similar to the Sperm Whales, that by unskilful fishermen it is +often mistaken for it. And consequently Derick and all his host were +now in valiant chase of this unnearable brute. The Virgin crowding all +sail, made after her four young keels, and thus they all disappeared +far to leeward, still in bold, hopeful chase. + +Oh! many are the Fin-Backs, and many are the Dericks, my friend. + + +CHAPTER 82. The Honor and Glory of Whaling. + +There are some enterprises in which a careful disorderliness is the +true method. + +The more I dive into this matter of whaling, and push my researches up +to the very spring-head of it so much the more am I impressed with its +great honorableness and antiquity; and especially when I find so many +great demi-gods and heroes, prophets of all sorts, who one way or other +have shed distinction upon it, I am transported with the reflection +that I myself belong, though but subordinately, to so emblazoned a +fraternity. + +The gallant Perseus, a son of Jupiter, was the first whaleman; and to +the eternal honor of our calling be it said, that the first whale +attacked by our brotherhood was not killed with any sordid intent. +Those were the knightly days of our profession, when we only bore arms +to succor the distressed, and not to fill mens lamp-feeders. Every one +knows the fine story of Perseus and Andromeda; how the lovely +Andromeda, the daughter of a king, was tied to a rock on the sea-coast, +and as Leviathan was in the very act of carrying her off, Perseus, the +prince of whalemen, intrepidly advancing, harpooned the monster, and +delivered and married the maid. It was an admirable artistic exploit, +rarely achieved by the best harpooneers of the present day; inasmuch as +this Leviathan was slain at the very first dart. And let no man doubt +this Arkite story; for in the ancient Joppa, now Jaffa, on the Syrian +coast, in one of the Pagan temples, there stood for many ages the vast +skeleton of a whale, which the citys legends and all the inhabitants +asserted to be the identical bones of the monster that Perseus slew. +When the Romans took Joppa, the same skeleton was carried to Italy in +triumph. What seems most singular and suggestively important in this +story, is this: it was from Joppa that Jonah set sail. + +Akin to the adventure of Perseus and Andromedaindeed, by some supposed +to be indirectly derived from itis that famous story of St. George and +the Dragon; which dragon I maintain to have been a whale; for in many +old chronicles whales and dragons are strangely jumbled together, and +often stand for each other. Thou art as a lion of the waters, and as a +dragon of the sea, saith Ezekiel; hereby, plainly meaning a whale; in +truth, some versions of the Bible use that word itself. Besides, it +would much subtract from the glory of the exploit had St. George but +encountered a crawling reptile of the land, instead of doing battle +with the great monster of the deep. Any man may kill a snake, but only +a Perseus, a St. George, a Coffin, have the heart in them to march +boldly up to a whale. + +Let not the modern paintings of this scene mislead us; for though the +creature encountered by that valiant whaleman of old is vaguely +represented of a griffin-like shape, and though the battle is depicted +on land and the saint on horseback, yet considering the great ignorance +of those times, when the true form of the whale was unknown to artists; +and considering that as in Perseus case, St. Georges whale might have +crawled up out of the sea on the beach; and considering that the animal +ridden by St. George might have been only a large seal, or sea-horse; +bearing all this in mind, it will not appear altogether incompatible +with the sacred legend and the ancientest draughts of the scene, to +hold this so-called dragon no other than the great Leviathan himself. +In fact, placed before the strict and piercing truth, this whole story +will fare like that fish, flesh, and fowl idol of the Philistines, +Dagon by name; who being planted before the ark of Israel, his horses +head and both the palms of his hands fell off from him, and only the +stump or fishy part of him remained. Thus, then, one of our own noble +stamp, even a whaleman, is the tutelary guardian of England; and by +good rights, we harpooneers of Nantucket should be enrolled in the most +noble order of St. George. And therefore, let not the knights of that +honorable company (none of whom, I venture to say, have ever had to do +with a whale like their great patron), let them never eye a Nantucketer +with disdain, since even in our woollen frocks and tarred trowsers we +are much better entitled to St. Georges decoration than they. + +Whether to admit Hercules among us or not, concerning this I long +remained dubious: for though according to the Greek mythologies, that +antique Crockett and Kit Carsonthat brawny doer of rejoicing good +deeds, was swallowed down and thrown up by a whale; still, whether that +strictly makes a whaleman of him, that might be mooted. It nowhere +appears that he ever actually harpooned his fish, unless, indeed, from +the inside. Nevertheless, he may be deemed a sort of involuntary +whaleman; at any rate the whale caught him, if he did not the whale. I +claim him for one of our clan. + +But, by the best contradictory authorities, this Grecian story of +Hercules and the whale is considered to be derived from the still more +ancient Hebrew story of Jonah and the whale; and vice vers; certainly +they are very similar. If I claim the demi-god then, why not the +prophet? + +Nor do heroes, saints, demigods, and prophets alone comprise the whole +roll of our order. Our grand master is still to be named; for like +royal kings of old times, we find the head waters of our fraternity in +nothing short of the great gods themselves. That wondrous oriental +story is now to be rehearsed from the Shaster, which gives us the dread +Vishnoo, one of the three persons in the godhead of the Hindoos; gives +us this divine Vishnoo himself for our Lord;Vishnoo, who, by the first +of his ten earthly incarnations, has for ever set apart and sanctified +the whale. When Brahma, or the God of Gods, saith the Shaster, resolved +to recreate the world after one of its periodical dissolutions, he gave +birth to Vishnoo, to preside over the work; but the Vedas, or mystical +books, whose perusal would seem to have been indispensable to Vishnoo +before beginning the creation, and which therefore must have contained +something in the shape of practical hints to young architects, these +Vedas were lying at the bottom of the waters; so Vishnoo became +incarnate in a whale, and sounding down in him to the uttermost depths, +rescued the sacred volumes. Was not this Vishnoo a whaleman, then? even +as a man who rides a horse is called a horseman? + +Perseus, St. George, Hercules, Jonah, and Vishnoo! theres a +member-roll for you! What club but the whalemans can head off like +that? + + +CHAPTER 83. Jonah Historically Regarded. + +Reference was made to the historical story of Jonah and the whale in +the preceding chapter. Now some Nantucketers rather distrust this +historical story of Jonah and the whale. But then there were some +sceptical Greeks and Romans, who, standing out from the orthodox pagans +of their times, equally doubted the story of Hercules and the whale, +and Arion and the dolphin; and yet their doubting those traditions did +not make those traditions one whit the less facts, for all that. + +One old Sag-Harbor whalemans chief reason for questioning the Hebrew +story was this:He had one of those quaint old-fashioned Bibles, +embellished with curious, unscientific plates; one of which represented +Jonahs whale with two spouts in his heada peculiarity only true with +respect to a species of the Leviathan (the Right Whale, and the +varieties of that order), concerning which the fishermen have this +saying, A penny roll would choke him; his swallow is so very small. +But, to this, Bishop Jebbs anticipative answer is ready. It is not +necessary, hints the Bishop, that we consider Jonah as tombed in the +whales belly, but as temporarily lodged in some part of his mouth. And +this seems reasonable enough in the good Bishop. For truly, the Right +Whales mouth would accommodate a couple of whist-tables, and +comfortably seat all the players. Possibly, too, Jonah might have +ensconced himself in a hollow tooth; but, on second thoughts, the Right +Whale is toothless. + +Another reason which Sag-Harbor (he went by that name) urged for his +want of faith in this matter of the prophet, was something obscurely in +reference to his incarcerated body and the whales gastric juices. But +this objection likewise falls to the ground, because a German exegetist +supposes that Jonah must have taken refuge in the floating body of a +_dead_ whaleeven as the French soldiers in the Russian campaign turned +their dead horses into tents, and crawled into them. Besides, it has +been divined by other continental commentators, that when Jonah was +thrown overboard from the Joppa ship, he straightway effected his +escape to another vessel near by, some vessel with a whale for a +figure-head; and, I would add, possibly called The Whale, as some +craft are nowadays christened the Shark, the Gull, the Eagle. Nor +have there been wanting learned exegetists who have opined that the +whale mentioned in the book of Jonah merely meant a life-preserveran +inflated bag of windwhich the endangered prophet swam to, and so was +saved from a watery doom. Poor Sag-Harbor, therefore, seems worsted all +round. But he had still another reason for his want of faith. It was +this, if I remember right: Jonah was swallowed by the whale in the +Mediterranean Sea, and after three days he was vomited up somewhere +within three days journey of Nineveh, a city on the Tigris, very much +more than three days journey across from the nearest point of the +Mediterranean coast. How is that? + +But was there no other way for the whale to land the prophet within +that short distance of Nineveh? Yes. He might have carried him round by +the way of the Cape of Good Hope. But not to speak of the passage +through the whole length of the Mediterranean, and another passage up +the Persian Gulf and Red Sea, such a supposition would involve the +complete circumnavigation of all Africa in three days, not to speak of +the Tigris waters, near the site of Nineveh, being too shallow for any +whale to swim in. Besides, this idea of Jonahs weathering the Cape of +Good Hope at so early a day would wrest the honor of the discovery of +that great headland from Bartholomew Diaz, its reputed discoverer, and +so make modern history a liar. + +But all these foolish arguments of old Sag-Harbor only evinced his +foolish pride of reasona thing still more reprehensible in him, seeing +that he had but little learning except what he had picked up from the +sun and the sea. I say it only shows his foolish, impious pride, and +abominable, devilish rebellion against the reverend clergy. For by a +Portuguese Catholic priest, this very idea of Jonahs going to Nineveh +via the Cape of Good Hope was advanced as a signal magnification of the +general miracle. And so it was. Besides, to this day, the highly +enlightened Turks devoutly believe in the historical story of Jonah. +And some three centuries ago, an English traveller in old Harriss +Voyages, speaks of a Turkish Mosque built in honor of Jonah, in which +Mosque was a miraculous lamp that burnt without any oil. + + +CHAPTER 84. Pitchpoling. + +To make them run easily and swiftly, the axles of carriages are +anointed; and for much the same purpose, some whalers perform an +analogous operation upon their boat; they grease the bottom. Nor is it +to be doubted that as such a procedure can do no harm, it may possibly +be of no contemptible advantage; considering that oil and water are +hostile; that oil is a sliding thing, and that the object in view is to +make the boat slide bravely. Queequeg believed strongly in anointing +his boat, and one morning not long after the German ship Jungfrau +disappeared, took more than customary pains in that occupation; +crawling under its bottom, where it hung over the side, and rubbing in +the unctuousness as though diligently seeking to insure a crop of hair +from the crafts bald keel. He seemed to be working in obedience to +some particular presentiment. Nor did it remain unwarranted by the +event. + +Towards noon whales were raised; but so soon as the ship sailed down to +them, they turned and fled with swift precipitancy; a disordered +flight, as of Cleopatras barges from Actium. + +Nevertheless, the boats pursued, and Stubbs was foremost. By great +exertion, Tashtego at last succeeded in planting one iron; but the +stricken whale, without at all sounding, still continued his horizontal +flight, with added fleetness. Such unintermitted strainings upon the +planted iron must sooner or later inevitably extract it. It became +imperative to lance the flying whale, or be content to lose him. But to +haul the boat up to his flank was impossible, he swam so fast and +furious. What then remained? + +Of all the wondrous devices and dexterities, the sleights of hand and +countless subtleties, to which the veteran whaleman is so often forced, +none exceed that fine manuvre with the lance called pitchpoling. Small +sword, or broad sword, in all its exercises boasts nothing like it. It +is only indispensable with an inveterate running whale; its grand fact +and feature is the wonderful distance to which the long lance is +accurately darted from a violently rocking, jerking boat, under extreme +headway. Steel and wood included, the entire spear is some ten or +twelve feet in length; the staff is much slighter than that of the +harpoon, and also of a lighter materialpine. It is furnished with a +small rope called a warp, of considerable length, by which it can be +hauled back to the hand after darting. + +But before going further, it is important to mention here, that though +the harpoon may be pitchpoled in the same way with the lance, yet it is +seldom done; and when done, is still less frequently successful, on +account of the greater weight and inferior length of the harpoon as +compared with the lance, which in effect become serious drawbacks. As a +general thing, therefore, you must first get fast to a whale, before +any pitchpoling comes into play. + +Look now at Stubb; a man who from his humorous, deliberate coolness and +equanimity in the direst emergencies, was specially qualified to excel +in pitchpoling. Look at him; he stands upright in the tossed bow of the +flying boat; wrapt in fleecy foam, the towing whale is forty feet +ahead. Handling the long lance lightly, glancing twice or thrice along +its length to see if it be exactly straight, Stubb whistlingly gathers +up the coil of the warp in one hand, so as to secure its free end in +his grasp, leaving the rest unobstructed. Then holding the lance full +before his waistbands middle, he levels it at the whale; when, +covering him with it, he steadily depresses the butt-end in his hand, +thereby elevating the point till the weapon stands fairly balanced upon +his palm, fifteen feet in the air. He minds you somewhat of a juggler, +balancing a long staff on his chin. Next moment with a rapid, nameless +impulse, in a superb lofty arch the bright steel spans the foaming +distance, and quivers in the life spot of the whale. Instead of +sparkling water, he now spouts red blood. + +That drove the spigot out of him! cried Stubb. Tis Julys immortal +Fourth; all fountains must run wine today! Would now, it were old +Orleans whiskey, or old Ohio, or unspeakable old Monongahela! Then, +Tashtego, lad, Id have ye hold a canakin to the jet, and wed drink +round it! Yea, verily, hearts alive, wed brew choice punch in the +spread of his spout-hole there, and from that live punch-bowl quaff the +living stuff. + +Again and again to such gamesome talk, the dexterous dart is repeated, +the spear returning to its master like a greyhound held in skilful +leash. The agonized whale goes into his flurry; the tow-line is +slackened, and the pitchpoler dropping astern, folds his hands, and +mutely watches the monster die. + + +CHAPTER 85. The Fountain. + +That for six thousand yearsand no one knows how many millions of ages +beforethe great whales should have been spouting all over the sea, and +sprinkling and mistifying the gardens of the deep, as with so many +sprinkling or mistifying pots; and that for some centuries back, +thousands of hunters should have been close by the fountain of the +whale, watching these sprinklings and spoutingsthat all this should +be, and yet, that down to this blessed minute (fifteen and a quarter +minutes past one oclock P.M. of this sixteenth day of December, A.D. +1851), it should still remain a problem, whether these spoutings are, +after all, really water, or nothing but vaporthis is surely a +noteworthy thing. + +Let us, then, look at this matter, along with some interesting items +contingent. Every one knows that by the peculiar cunning of their +gills, the finny tribes in general breathe the air which at all times +is combined with the element in which they swim; hence, a herring or a +cod might live a century, and never once raise its head above the +surface. But owing to his marked internal structure which gives him +regular lungs, like a human beings, the whale can only live by +inhaling the disengaged air in the open atmosphere. Wherefore the +necessity for his periodical visits to the upper world. But he cannot +in any degree breathe through his mouth, for, in his ordinary attitude, +the Sperm Whales mouth is buried at least eight feet beneath the +surface; and what is still more, his windpipe has no connexion with his +mouth. No, he breathes through his spiracle alone; and this is on the +top of his head. + +If I say, that in any creature breathing is only a function +indispensable to vitality, inasmuch as it withdraws from the air a +certain element, which being subsequently brought into contact with the +blood imparts to the blood its vivifying principle, I do not think I +shall err; though I may possibly use some superfluous scientific words. +Assume it, and it follows that if all the blood in a man could be +aerated with one breath, he might then seal up his nostrils and not +fetch another for a considerable time. That is to say, he would then +live without breathing. Anomalous as it may seem, this is precisely the +case with the whale, who systematically lives, by intervals, his full +hour and more (when at the bottom) without drawing a single breath, or +so much as in any way inhaling a particle of air; for, remember, he has +no gills. How is this? Between his ribs and on each side of his spine +he is supplied with a remarkable involved Cretan labyrinth of +vermicelli-like vessels, which vessels, when he quits the surface, are +completely distended with oxygenated blood. So that for an hour or +more, a thousand fathoms in the sea, he carries a surplus stock of +vitality in him, just as the camel crossing the waterless desert +carries a surplus supply of drink for future use in its four +supplementary stomachs. The anatomical fact of this labyrinth is +indisputable; and that the supposition founded upon it is reasonable +and true, seems the more cogent to me, when I consider the otherwise +inexplicable obstinacy of that leviathan in _having his spoutings out_, +as the fishermen phrase it. This is what I mean. If unmolested, upon +rising to the surface, the Sperm Whale will continue there for a period +of time exactly uniform with all his other unmolested risings. Say he +stays eleven minutes, and jets seventy times, that is, respires seventy +breaths; then whenever he rises again, he will be sure to have his +seventy breaths over again, to a minute. Now, if after he fetches a few +breaths you alarm him, so that he sounds, he will be always dodging up +again to make good his regular allowance of air. And not till those +seventy breaths are told, will he finally go down to stay out his full +term below. Remark, however, that in different individuals these rates +are different; but in any one they are alike. Now, why should the whale +thus insist upon having his spoutings out, unless it be to replenish +his reservoir of air, ere descending for good? How obvious is it, too, +that this necessity for the whales rising exposes him to all the fatal +hazards of the chase. For not by hook or by net could this vast +leviathan be caught, when sailing a thousand fathoms beneath the +sunlight. Not so much thy skill, then, O hunter, as the great +necessities that strike the victory to thee! + +In man, breathing is incessantly going onone breath only serving for +two or three pulsations; so that whatever other business he has to +attend to, waking or sleeping, breathe he must, or die he will. But the +Sperm Whale only breathes about one seventh or Sunday of his time. + +It has been said that the whale only breathes through his spout-hole; +if it could truthfully be added that his spouts are mixed with water, +then I opine we should be furnished with the reason why his sense of +smell seems obliterated in him; for the only thing about him that at +all answers to his nose is that identical spout-hole; and being so +clogged with two elements, it could not be expected to have the power +of smelling. But owing to the mystery of the spoutwhether it be water +or whether it be vaporno absolute certainty can as yet be arrived at +on this head. Sure it is, nevertheless, that the Sperm Whale has no +proper olfactories. But what does he want of them? No roses, no +violets, no Cologne-water in the sea. + +Furthermore, as his windpipe solely opens into the tube of his spouting +canal, and as that long canallike the grand Erie Canalis furnished +with a sort of locks (that open and shut) for the downward retention of +air or the upward exclusion of water, therefore the whale has no voice; +unless you insult him by saying, that when he so strangely rumbles, he +talks through his nose. But then again, what has the whale to say? +Seldom have I known any profound being that had anything to say to this +world, unless forced to stammer out something by way of getting a +living. Oh! happy that the world is such an excellent listener! + +Now, the spouting canal of the Sperm Whale, chiefly intended as it is +for the conveyance of air, and for several feet laid along, +horizontally, just beneath the upper surface of his head, and a little +to one side; this curious canal is very much like a gas-pipe laid down +in a city on one side of a street. But the question returns whether +this gas-pipe is also a water-pipe; in other words, whether the spout +of the Sperm Whale is the mere vapor of the exhaled breath, or whether +that exhaled breath is mixed with water taken in at the mouth, and +discharged through the spiracle. It is certain that the mouth +indirectly communicates with the spouting canal; but it cannot be +proved that this is for the purpose of discharging water through the +spiracle. Because the greatest necessity for so doing would seem to be, +when in feeding he accidentally takes in water. But the Sperm Whales +food is far beneath the surface, and there he cannot spout even if he +would. Besides, if you regard him very closely, and time him with your +watch, you will find that when unmolested, there is an undeviating +rhyme between the periods of his jets and the ordinary periods of +respiration. + +But why pester one with all this reasoning on the subject? Speak out! +You have seen him spout; then declare what the spout is; can you not +tell water from air? My dear sir, in this world it is not so easy to +settle these plain things. I have ever found your plain things the +knottiest of all. And as for this whale spout, you might almost stand +in it, and yet be undecided as to what it is precisely. + +The central body of it is hidden in the snowy sparkling mist enveloping +it; and how can you certainly tell whether any water falls from it, +when, always, when you are close enough to a whale to get a close view +of his spout, he is in a prodigious commotion, the water cascading all +around him. And if at such times you should think that you really +perceived drops of moisture in the spout, how do you know that they are +not merely condensed from its vapor; or how do you know that they are +not those identical drops superficially lodged in the spout-hole +fissure, which is countersunk into the summit of the whales head? For +even when tranquilly swimming through the mid-day sea in a calm, with +his elevated hump sun-dried as a dromedarys in the desert; even then, +the whale always carries a small basin of water on his head, as under a +blazing sun you will sometimes see a cavity in a rock filled up with +rain. + +Nor is it at all prudent for the hunter to be over curious touching the +precise nature of the whale spout. It will not do for him to be peering +into it, and putting his face in it. You cannot go with your pitcher to +this fountain and fill it, and bring it away. For even when coming into +slight contact with the outer, vapory shreds of the jet, which will +often happen, your skin will feverishly smart, from the acridness of +the thing so touching it. And I know one, who coming into still closer +contact with the spout, whether with some scientific object in view, or +otherwise, I cannot say, the skin peeled off from his cheek and arm. +Wherefore, among whalemen, the spout is deemed poisonous; they try to +evade it. Another thing; I have heard it said, and I do not much doubt +it, that if the jet is fairly spouted into your eyes, it will blind +you. The wisest thing the investigator can do then, it seems to me, is +to let this deadly spout alone. + +Still, we can hypothesize, even if we cannot prove and establish. My +hypothesis is this: that the spout is nothing but mist. And besides +other reasons, to this conclusion I am impelled, by considerations +touching the great inherent dignity and sublimity of the Sperm Whale; I +account him no common, shallow being, inasmuch as it is an undisputed +fact that he is never found on soundings, or near shores; all other +whales sometimes are. He is both ponderous and profound. And I am +convinced that from the heads of all ponderous profound beings, such as +Plato, Pyrrho, the Devil, Jupiter, Dante, and so on, there always goes +up a certain semi-visible steam, while in the act of thinking deep +thoughts. While composing a little treatise on Eternity, I had the +curiosity to place a mirror before me; and ere long saw reflected +there, a curious involved worming and undulation in the atmosphere over +my head. The invariable moisture of my hair, while plunged in deep +thought, after six cups of hot tea in my thin shingled attic, of an +August noon; this seems an additional argument for the above +supposition. + +And how nobly it raises our conceit of the mighty, misty monster, to +behold him solemnly sailing through a calm tropical sea; his vast, mild +head overhung by a canopy of vapor, engendered by his incommunicable +contemplations, and that vaporas you will sometimes see itglorified +by a rainbow, as if Heaven itself had put its seal upon his thoughts. +For, dye see, rainbows do not visit the clear air; they only irradiate +vapor. And so, through all the thick mists of the dim doubts in my +mind, divine intuitions now and then shoot, enkindling my fog with a +heavenly ray. And for this I thank God; for all have doubts; many deny; +but doubts or denials, few along with them, have intuitions. Doubts of +all things earthly, and intuitions of some things heavenly; this +combination makes neither believer nor infidel, but makes a man who +regards them both with equal eye. + + +CHAPTER 86. The Tail. + +Other poets have warbled the praises of the soft eye of the antelope, +and the lovely plumage of the bird that never alights; less celestial, +I celebrate a tail. + +Reckoning the largest sized Sperm Whales tail to begin at that point +of the trunk where it tapers to about the girth of a man, it comprises +upon its upper surface alone, an area of at least fifty square feet. +The compact round body of its root expands into two broad, firm, flat +palms or flukes, gradually shoaling away to less than an inch in +thickness. At the crotch or junction, these flukes slightly overlap, +then sideways recede from each other like wings, leaving a wide vacancy +between. In no living thing are the lines of beauty more exquisitely +defined than in the crescentic borders of these flukes. At its utmost +expansion in the full grown whale, the tail will considerably exceed +twenty feet across. + +The entire member seems a dense webbed bed of welded sinews; but cut +into it, and you find that three distinct strata compose it:upper, +middle, and lower. The fibres in the upper and lower layers, are long +and horizontal; those of the middle one, very short, and running +crosswise between the outside layers. This triune structure, as much as +anything else, imparts power to the tail. To the student of old Roman +walls, the middle layer will furnish a curious parallel to the thin +course of tiles always alternating with the stone in those wonderful +relics of the antique, and which undoubtedly contribute so much to the +great strength of the masonry. + +But as if this vast local power in the tendinous tail were not enough, +the whole bulk of the leviathan is knit over with a warp and woof of +muscular fibres and filaments, which passing on either side the loins +and running down into the flukes, insensibly blend with them, and +largely contribute to their might; so that in the tail the confluent +measureless force of the whole whale seems concentrated to a point. +Could annihilation occur to matter, this were the thing to do it. + +Nor does thisits amazing strength, at all tend to cripple the graceful +flexion of its motions; where infantileness of ease undulates through a +Titanism of power. On the contrary, those motions derive their most +appalling beauty from it. Real strength never impairs beauty or +harmony, but it often bestows it; and in everything imposingly +beautiful, strength has much to do with the magic. Take away the tied +tendons that all over seem bursting from the marble in the carved +Hercules, and its charm would be gone. As devout Eckerman lifted the +linen sheet from the naked corpse of Goethe, he was overwhelmed with +the massive chest of the man, that seemed as a Roman triumphal arch. +When Angelo paints even God the Father in human form, mark what +robustness is there. And whatever they may reveal of the divine love in +the Son, the soft, curled, hermaphroditical Italian pictures, in which +his idea has been most successfully embodied; these pictures, so +destitute as they are of all brawniness, hint nothing of any power, but +the mere negative, feminine one of submission and endurance, which on +all hands it is conceded, form the peculiar practical virtues of his +teachings. + +Such is the subtle elasticity of the organ I treat of, that whether +wielded in sport, or in earnest, or in anger, whatever be the mood it +be in, its flexions are invariably marked by exceeding grace. Therein +no fairys arm can transcend it. + +Five great motions are peculiar to it. First, when used as a fin for +progression; Second, when used as a mace in battle; Third, in sweeping; +Fourth, in lobtailing; Fifth, in peaking flukes. + +First: Being horizontal in its position, the Leviathans tail acts in a +different manner from the tails of all other sea creatures. It never +wriggles. In man or fish, wriggling is a sign of inferiority. To the +whale, his tail is the sole means of propulsion. Scroll-wise coiled +forwards beneath the body, and then rapidly sprung backwards, it is +this which gives that singular darting, leaping motion to the monster +when furiously swimming. His side-fins only serve to steer by. + +Second: It is a little significant, that while one sperm whale only +fights another sperm whale with his head and jaw, nevertheless, in his +conflicts with man, he chiefly and contemptuously uses his tail. In +striking at a boat, he swiftly curves away his flukes from it, and the +blow is only inflicted by the recoil. If it be made in the unobstructed +air, especially if it descend to its mark, the stroke is then simply +irresistible. No ribs of man or boat can withstand it. Your only +salvation lies in eluding it; but if it comes sideways through the +opposing water, then partly owing to the light buoyancy of the +whale-boat, and the elasticity of its materials, a cracked rib or a +dashed plank or two, a sort of stitch in the side, is generally the +most serious result. These submerged side blows are so often received +in the fishery, that they are accounted mere childs play. Some one +strips off a frock, and the hole is stopped. + +Third: I cannot demonstrate it, but it seems to me, that in the whale +the sense of touch is concentrated in the tail; for in this respect +there is a delicacy in it only equalled by the daintiness of the +elephants trunk. This delicacy is chiefly evinced in the action of +sweeping, when in maidenly gentleness the whale with a certain soft +slowness moves his immense flukes from side to side upon the surface of +the sea; and if he feel but a sailors whisker, woe to that sailor, +whiskers and all. What tenderness there is in that preliminary touch! +Had this tail any prehensile power, I should straightway bethink me of +Darmonodes elephant that so frequented the flower-market, and with low +salutations presented nosegays to damsels, and then caressed their +zones. On more accounts than one, a pity it is that the whale does not +possess this prehensile virtue in his tail; for I have heard of yet +another elephant, that when wounded in the fight, curved round his +trunk and extracted the dart. + +Fourth: Stealing unawares upon the whale in the fancied security of the +middle of solitary seas, you find him unbent from the vast corpulence +of his dignity, and kitten-like, he plays on the ocean as if it were a +hearth. But still you see his power in his play. The broad palms of his +tail are flirted high into the air; then smiting the surface, the +thunderous concussion resounds for miles. You would almost think a +great gun had been discharged; and if you noticed the light wreath of +vapor from the spiracle at his other extremity, you would think that +that was the smoke from the touch-hole. + +Fifth: As in the ordinary floating posture of the leviathan the flukes +lie considerably below the level of his back, they are then completely +out of sight beneath the surface; but when he is about to plunge into +the deeps, his entire flukes with at least thirty feet of his body are +tossed erect in the air, and so remain vibrating a moment, till they +downwards shoot out of view. Excepting the sublime _breach_somewhere +else to be describedthis peaking of the whales flukes is perhaps the +grandest sight to be seen in all animated nature. Out of the bottomless +profundities the gigantic tail seems spasmodically snatching at the +highest heaven. So in dreams, have I seen majestic Satan thrusting +forth his tormented colossal claw from the flame Baltic of Hell. But in +gazing at such scenes, it is all in all what mood you are in; if in the +Dantean, the devils will occur to you; if in that of Isaiah, the +archangels. Standing at the mast-head of my ship during a sunrise that +crimsoned sky and sea, I once saw a large herd of whales in the east, +all heading towards the sun, and for a moment vibrating in concert with +peaked flukes. As it seemed to me at the time, such a grand embodiment +of adoration of the gods was never beheld, even in Persia, the home of +the fire worshippers. As Ptolemy Philopater testified of the African +elephant, I then testified of the whale, pronouncing him the most +devout of all beings. For according to King Juba, the military +elephants of antiquity often hailed the morning with their trunks +uplifted in the profoundest silence. + +The chance comparison in this chapter, between the whale and the +elephant, so far as some aspects of the tail of the one and the trunk +of the other are concerned, should not tend to place those two opposite +organs on an equality, much less the creatures to which they +respectively belong. For as the mightiest elephant is but a terrier to +Leviathan, so, compared with Leviathans tail, his trunk is but the +stalk of a lily. The most direful blow from the elephants trunk were +as the playful tap of a fan, compared with the measureless crush and +crash of the sperm whales ponderous flukes, which in repeated +instances have one after the other hurled entire boats with all their +oars and crews into the air, very much as an Indian juggler tosses his +balls.* + +*Though all comparison in the way of general bulk between the whale and +the elephant is preposterous, inasmuch as in that particular the +elephant stands in much the same respect to the whale that a dog does +to the elephant; nevertheless, there are not wanting some points of +curious similitude; among these is the spout. It is well known that the +elephant will often draw up water or dust in his trunk, and then +elevating it, jet it forth in a stream. + +The more I consider this mighty tail, the more do I deplore my +inability to express it. At times there are gestures in it, which, +though they would well grace the hand of man, remain wholly +inexplicable. In an extensive herd, so remarkable, occasionally, are +these mystic gestures, that I have heard hunters who have declared them +akin to Free-Mason signs and symbols; that the whale, indeed, by these +methods intelligently conversed with the world. Nor are there wanting +other motions of the whale in his general body, full of strangeness, +and unaccountable to his most experienced assailant. Dissect him how I +may, then, I but go skin deep; I know him not, and never will. But if I +know not even the tail of this whale, how understand his head? much +more, how comprehend his face, when face he has none? Thou shalt see my +back parts, my tail, he seems to say, but my face shall not be seen. +But I cannot completely make out his back parts; and hint what he will +about his face, I say again he has no face. + + +CHAPTER 87. The Grand Armada. + +The long and narrow peninsula of Malacca, extending south-eastward from +the territories of Birmah, forms the most southerly point of all Asia. +In a continuous line from that peninsula stretch the long islands of +Sumatra, Java, Bally, and Timor; which, with many others, form a vast +mole, or rampart, lengthwise connecting Asia with Australia, and +dividing the long unbroken Indian ocean from the thickly studded +oriental archipelagoes. This rampart is pierced by several sally-ports +for the convenience of ships and whales; conspicuous among which are +the straits of Sunda and Malacca. By the straits of Sunda, chiefly, +vessels bound to China from the west, emerge into the China seas. + +Those narrow straits of Sunda divide Sumatra from Java; and standing +midway in that vast rampart of islands, buttressed by that bold green +promontory, known to seamen as Java Head; they not a little correspond +to the central gateway opening into some vast walled empire: and +considering the inexhaustible wealth of spices, and silks, and jewels, +and gold, and ivory, with which the thousand islands of that oriental +sea are enriched, it seems a significant provision of nature, that such +treasures, by the very formation of the land, should at least bear the +appearance, however ineffectual, of being guarded from the all-grasping +western world. The shores of the Straits of Sunda are unsupplied with +those domineering fortresses which guard the entrances to the +Mediterranean, the Baltic, and the Propontis. Unlike the Danes, these +Orientals do not demand the obsequious homage of lowered top-sails from +the endless procession of ships before the wind, which for centuries +past, by night and by day, have passed between the islands of Sumatra +and Java, freighted with the costliest cargoes of the east. But while +they freely waive a ceremonial like this, they do by no means renounce +their claim to more solid tribute. + +Time out of mind the piratical proas of the Malays, lurking among the +low shaded coves and islets of Sumatra, have sallied out upon the +vessels sailing through the straits, fiercely demanding tribute at the +point of their spears. Though by the repeated bloody chastisements they +have received at the hands of European cruisers, the audacity of these +corsairs has of late been somewhat repressed; yet, even at the present +day, we occasionally hear of English and American vessels, which, in +those waters, have been remorselessly boarded and pillaged. + +With a fair, fresh wind, the Pequod was now drawing nigh to these +straits; Ahab purposing to pass through them into the Javan sea, and +thence, cruising northwards, over waters known to be frequented here +and there by the Sperm Whale, sweep inshore by the Philippine Islands, +and gain the far coast of Japan, in time for the great whaling season +there. By these means, the circumnavigating Pequod would sweep almost +all the known Sperm Whale cruising grounds of the world, previous to +descending upon the Line in the Pacific; where Ahab, though everywhere +else foiled in his pursuit, firmly counted upon giving battle to Moby +Dick, in the sea he was most known to frequent; and at a season when he +might most reasonably be presumed to be haunting it. + +But how now? in this zoned quest, does Ahab touch no land? does his +crew drink air? Surely, he will stop for water. Nay. For a long time, +now, the circus-running sun has raced within his fiery ring, and needs +no sustenance but whats in himself. So Ahab. Mark this, too, in the +whaler. While other hulls are loaded down with alien stuff, to be +transferred to foreign wharves; the world-wandering whale-ship carries +no cargo but herself and crew, their weapons and their wants. She has a +whole lakes contents bottled in her ample hold. She is ballasted with +utilities; not altogether with unusable pig-lead and kentledge. She +carries years water in her. Clear old prime Nantucket water; which, +when three years afloat, the Nantucketer, in the Pacific, prefers to +drink before the brackish fluid, but yesterday rafted off in casks, +from the Peruvian or Indian streams. Hence it is, that, while other +ships may have gone to China from New York, and back again, touching at +a score of ports, the whale-ship, in all that interval, may not have +sighted one grain of soil; her crew having seen no man but floating +seamen like themselves. So that did you carry them the news that +another flood had come; they would only answerWell, boys, heres the +ark! + +Now, as many Sperm Whales had been captured off the western coast of +Java, in the near vicinity of the Straits of Sunda; indeed, as most of +the ground, roundabout, was generally recognised by the fishermen as an +excellent spot for cruising; therefore, as the Pequod gained more and +more upon Java Head, the look-outs were repeatedly hailed, and +admonished to keep wide awake. But though the green palmy cliffs of the +land soon loomed on the starboard bow, and with delighted nostrils the +fresh cinnamon was snuffed in the air, yet not a single jet was +descried. Almost renouncing all thought of falling in with any game +hereabouts, the ship had well nigh entered the straits, when the +customary cheering cry was heard from aloft, and ere long a spectacle +of singular magnificence saluted us. + +But here be it premised, that owing to the unwearied activity with +which of late they have been hunted over all four oceans, the Sperm +Whales, instead of almost invariably sailing in small detached +companies, as in former times, are now frequently met with in extensive +herds, sometimes embracing so great a multitude, that it would almost +seem as if numerous nations of them had sworn solemn league and +covenant for mutual assistance and protection. To this aggregation of +the Sperm Whale into such immense caravans, may be imputed the +circumstance that even in the best cruising grounds, you may now +sometimes sail for weeks and months together, without being greeted by +a single spout; and then be suddenly saluted by what sometimes seems +thousands on thousands. + +Broad on both bows, at the distance of some two or three miles, and +forming a great semicircle, embracing one half of the level horizon, a +continuous chain of whale-jets were up-playing and sparkling in the +noon-day air. Unlike the straight perpendicular twin-jets of the Right +Whale, which, dividing at top, fall over in two branches, like the +cleft drooping boughs of a willow, the single forward-slanting spout of +the Sperm Whale presents a thick curled bush of white mist, continually +rising and falling away to leeward. + +Seen from the Pequods deck, then, as she would rise on a high hill of +the sea, this host of vapory spouts, individually curling up into the +air, and beheld through a blending atmosphere of bluish haze, showed +like the thousand cheerful chimneys of some dense metropolis, descried +of a balmy autumnal morning, by some horseman on a height. + +As marching armies approaching an unfriendly defile in the mountains, +accelerate their march, all eagerness to place that perilous passage in +their rear, and once more expand in comparative security upon the +plain; even so did this vast fleet of whales now seem hurrying forward +through the straits; gradually contracting the wings of their +semicircle, and swimming on, in one solid, but still crescentic centre. + +Crowding all sail the Pequod pressed after them; the harpooneers +handling their weapons, and loudly cheering from the heads of their yet +suspended boats. If the wind only held, little doubt had they, that +chased through these Straits of Sunda, the vast host would only deploy +into the Oriental seas to witness the capture of not a few of their +number. And who could tell whether, in that congregated caravan, Moby +Dick himself might not temporarily be swimming, like the worshipped +white-elephant in the coronation procession of the Siamese! So with +stun-sail piled on stun-sail, we sailed along, driving these leviathans +before us; when, of a sudden, the voice of Tashtego was heard, loudly +directing attention to something in our wake. + +Corresponding to the crescent in our van, we beheld another in our +rear. It seemed formed of detached white vapors, rising and falling +something like the spouts of the whales; only they did not so +completely come and go; for they constantly hovered, without finally +disappearing. Levelling his glass at this sight, Ahab quickly revolved +in his pivot-hole, crying, Aloft there, and rig whips and buckets to +wet the sails;Malays, sir, and after us! + +As if too long lurking behind the headlands, till the Pequod should +fairly have entered the straits, these rascally Asiatics were now in +hot pursuit, to make up for their over-cautious delay. But when the +swift Pequod, with a fresh leading wind, was herself in hot chase; how +very kind of these tawny philanthropists to assist in speeding her on +to her own chosen pursuit,mere riding-whips and rowels to her, that +they were. As with glass under arm, Ahab to-and-fro paced the deck; in +his forward turn beholding the monsters he chased, and in the after one +the bloodthirsty pirates chasing _him_; some such fancy as the above +seemed his. And when he glanced upon the green walls of the watery +defile in which the ship was then sailing, and bethought him that +through that gate lay the route to his vengeance, and beheld, how that +through that same gate he was now both chasing and being chased to his +deadly end; and not only that, but a herd of remorseless wild pirates +and inhuman atheistical devils were infernally cheering him on with +their curses;when all these conceits had passed through his brain, +Ahabs brow was left gaunt and ribbed, like the black sand beach after +some stormy tide has been gnawing it, without being able to drag the +firm thing from its place. + +But thoughts like these troubled very few of the reckless crew; and +when, after steadily dropping and dropping the pirates astern, the +Pequod at last shot by the vivid green Cockatoo Point on the Sumatra +side, emerging at last upon the broad waters beyond; then, the +harpooneers seemed more to grieve that the swift whales had been +gaining upon the ship, than to rejoice that the ship had so +victoriously gained upon the Malays. But still driving on in the wake +of the whales, at length they seemed abating their speed; gradually the +ship neared them; and the wind now dying away, word was passed to +spring to the boats. But no sooner did the herd, by some presumed +wonderful instinct of the Sperm Whale, become notified of the three +keels that were after them,though as yet a mile in their rear,than +they rallied again, and forming in close ranks and battalions, so that +their spouts all looked like flashing lines of stacked bayonets, moved +on with redoubled velocity. + +Stripped to our shirts and drawers, we sprang to the white-ash, and +after several hours pulling were almost disposed to renounce the +chase, when a general pausing commotion among the whales gave animating +token that they were now at last under the influence of that strange +perplexity of inert irresolution, which, when the fishermen perceive it +in the whale, they say he is gallied. The compact martial columns in +which they had been hitherto rapidly and steadily swimming, were now +broken up in one measureless rout; and like King Porus elephants in +the Indian battle with Alexander, they seemed going mad with +consternation. In all directions expanding in vast irregular circles, +and aimlessly swimming hither and thither, by their short thick +spoutings, they plainly betrayed their distraction of panic. This was +still more strangely evinced by those of their number, who, completely +paralysed as it were, helplessly floated like water-logged dismantled +ships on the sea. Had these Leviathans been but a flock of simple +sheep, pursued over the pasture by three fierce wolves, they could not +possibly have evinced such excessive dismay. But this occasional +timidity is characteristic of almost all herding creatures. Though +banding together in tens of thousands, the lion-maned buffaloes of the +West have fled before a solitary horseman. Witness, too, all human +beings, how when herded together in the sheepfold of a theatres pit, +they will, at the slightest alarm of fire, rush helter-skelter for the +outlets, crowding, trampling, jamming, and remorselessly dashing each +other to death. Best, therefore, withhold any amazement at the +strangely gallied whales before us, for there is no folly of the beasts +of the earth which is not infinitely outdone by the madness of men. + +Though many of the whales, as has been said, were in violent motion, +yet it is to be observed that as a whole the herd neither advanced nor +retreated, but collectively remained in one place. As is customary in +those cases, the boats at once separated, each making for some one lone +whale on the outskirts of the shoal. In about three minutes time, +Queequegs harpoon was flung; the stricken fish darted blinding spray +in our faces, and then running away with us like light, steered +straight for the heart of the herd. Though such a movement on the part +of the whale struck under such circumstances, is in no wise +unprecedented; and indeed is almost always more or less anticipated; +yet does it present one of the more perilous vicissitudes of the +fishery. For as the swift monster drags you deeper and deeper into the +frantic shoal, you bid adieu to circumspect life and only exist in a +delirious throb. + +As, blind and deaf, the whale plunged forward, as if by sheer power of +speed to rid himself of the iron leech that had fastened to him; as we +thus tore a white gash in the sea, on all sides menaced as we flew, by +the crazed creatures to and fro rushing about us; our beset boat was +like a ship mobbed by ice-isles in a tempest, and striving to steer +through their complicated channels and straits, knowing not at what +moment it may be locked in and crushed. + +But not a bit daunted, Queequeg steered us manfully; now sheering off +from this monster directly across our route in advance; now edging away +from that, whose colossal flukes were suspended overhead, while all the +time, Starbuck stood up in the bows, lance in hand, pricking out of our +way whatever whales he could reach by short darts, for there was no +time to make long ones. Nor were the oarsmen quite idle, though their +wonted duty was now altogether dispensed with. They chiefly attended to +the shouting part of the business. Out of the way, Commodore! cried +one, to a great dromedary that of a sudden rose bodily to the surface, +and for an instant threatened to swamp us. Hard down with your tail, +there! cried a second to another, which, close to our gunwale, seemed +calmly cooling himself with his own fan-like extremity. + +All whaleboats carry certain curious contrivances, originally invented +by the Nantucket Indians, called druggs. Two thick squares of wood of +equal size are stoutly clenched together, so that they cross each +others grain at right angles; a line of considerable length is then +attached to the middle of this block, and the other end of the line +being looped, it can in a moment be fastened to a harpoon. It is +chiefly among gallied whales that this drugg is used. For then, more +whales are close round you than you can possibly chase at one time. But +sperm whales are not every day encountered; while you may, then, you +must kill all you can. And if you cannot kill them all at once, you +must wing them, so that they can be afterwards killed at your leisure. +Hence it is, that at times like these the drugg, comes into +requisition. Our boat was furnished with three of them. The first and +second were successfully darted, and we saw the whales staggeringly +running off, fettered by the enormous sidelong resistance of the towing +drugg. They were cramped like malefactors with the chain and ball. But +upon flinging the third, in the act of tossing overboard the clumsy +wooden block, it caught under one of the seats of the boat, and in an +instant tore it out and carried it away, dropping the oarsman in the +boats bottom as the seat slid from under him. On both sides the sea +came in at the wounded planks, but we stuffed two or three drawers and +shirts in, and so stopped the leaks for the time. + +It had been next to impossible to dart these drugged-harpoons, were it +not that as we advanced into the herd, our whales way greatly +diminished; moreover, that as we went still further and further from +the circumference of commotion, the direful disorders seemed waning. So +that when at last the jerking harpoon drew out, and the towing whale +sideways vanished; then, with the tapering force of his parting +momentum, we glided between two whales into the innermost heart of the +shoal, as if from some mountain torrent we had slid into a serene +valley lake. Here the storms in the roaring glens between the outermost +whales, were heard but not felt. In this central expanse the sea +presented that smooth satin-like surface, called a sleek, produced by +the subtle moisture thrown off by the whale in his more quiet moods. +Yes, we were now in that enchanted calm which they say lurks at the +heart of every commotion. And still in the distracted distance we +beheld the tumults of the outer concentric circles, and saw successive +pods of whales, eight or ten in each, swiftly going round and round, +like multiplied spans of horses in a ring; and so closely shoulder to +shoulder, that a Titanic circus-rider might easily have over-arched the +middle ones, and so have gone round on their backs. Owing to the +density of the crowd of reposing whales, more immediately surrounding +the embayed axis of the herd, no possible chance of escape was at +present afforded us. We must watch for a breach in the living wall that +hemmed us in; the wall that had only admitted us in order to shut us +up. Keeping at the centre of the lake, we were occasionally visited by +small tame cows and calves; the women and children of this routed host. + +Now, inclusive of the occasional wide intervals between the revolving +outer circles, and inclusive of the spaces between the various pods in +any one of those circles, the entire area at this juncture, embraced by +the whole multitude, must have contained at least two or three square +miles. At any ratethough indeed such a test at such a time might be +deceptivespoutings might be discovered from our low boat that seemed +playing up almost from the rim of the horizon. I mention this +circumstance, because, as if the cows and calves had been purposely +locked up in this innermost fold; and as if the wide extent of the herd +had hitherto prevented them from learning the precise cause of its +stopping; or, possibly, being so young, unsophisticated, and every way +innocent and inexperienced; however it may have been, these smaller +whalesnow and then visiting our becalmed boat from the margin of the +lakeevinced a wondrous fearlessness and confidence, or else a still +becharmed panic which it was impossible not to marvel at. Like +household dogs they came snuffling round us, right up to our gunwales, +and touching them; till it almost seemed that some spell had suddenly +domesticated them. Queequeg patted their foreheads; Starbuck scratched +their backs with his lance; but fearful of the consequences, for the +time refrained from darting it. + +But far beneath this wondrous world upon the surface, another and still +stranger world met our eyes as we gazed over the side. For, suspended +in those watery vaults, floated the forms of the nursing mothers of the +whales, and those that by their enormous girth seemed shortly to become +mothers. The lake, as I have hinted, was to a considerable depth +exceedingly transparent; and as human infants while suckling will +calmly and fixedly gaze away from the breast, as if leading two +different lives at the time; and while yet drawing mortal nourishment, +be still spiritually feasting upon some unearthly reminiscence;even so +did the young of these whales seem looking up towards us, but not at +us, as if we were but a bit of Gulfweed in their new-born sight. +Floating on their sides, the mothers also seemed quietly eyeing us. One +of these little infants, that from certain queer tokens seemed hardly a +day old, might have measured some fourteen feet in length, and some six +feet in girth. He was a little frisky; though as yet his body seemed +scarce yet recovered from that irksome position it had so lately +occupied in the maternal reticule; where, tail to head, and all ready +for the final spring, the unborn whale lies bent like a Tartars bow. +The delicate side-fins, and the palms of his flukes, still freshly +retained the plaited crumpled appearance of a babys ears newly arrived +from foreign parts. + +Line! line! cried Queequeg, looking over the gunwale; him fast! him +fast!Who line him! Who struck?Two whale; one big, one little! + +What ails ye, man? cried Starbuck. + +Look-e here, said Queequeg, pointing down. + +As when the stricken whale, that from the tub has reeled out hundreds +of fathoms of rope; as, after deep sounding, he floats up again, and +shows the slackened curling line buoyantly rising and spiralling +towards the air; so now, Starbuck saw long coils of the umbilical cord +of Madame Leviathan, by which the young cub seemed still tethered to +its dam. Not seldom in the rapid vicissitudes of the chase, this +natural line, with the maternal end loose, becomes entangled with the +hempen one, so that the cub is thereby trapped. Some of the subtlest +secrets of the seas seemed divulged to us in this enchanted pond. We +saw young Leviathan amours in the deep.* + +*The sperm whale, as with all other species of the Leviathan, but +unlike most other fish, breeds indifferently at all seasons; after a +gestation which may probably be set down at nine months, producing but +one at a time; though in some few known instances giving birth to an +Esau and Jacob:a contingency provided for in suckling by two teats, +curiously situated, one on each side of the anus; but the breasts +themselves extend upwards from that. When by chance these precious +parts in a nursing whale are cut by the hunters lance, the mothers +pouring milk and blood rivallingly discolour the sea for rods. The milk +is very sweet and rich; it has been tasted by man; it might do well +with strawberries. When overflowing with mutual esteem, the whales +salute _more hominum_. + +And thus, though surrounded by circle upon circle of consternations and +affrights, did these inscrutable creatures at the centre freely and +fearlessly indulge in all peaceful concernments; yea, serenely revelled +in dalliance and delight. But even so, amid the tornadoed Atlantic of +my being, do I myself still for ever centrally disport in mute calm; +and while ponderous planets of unwaning woe revolve round me, deep down +and deep inland there I still bathe me in eternal mildness of joy. + +Meanwhile, as we thus lay entranced, the occasional sudden frantic +spectacles in the distance evinced the activity of the other boats, +still engaged in drugging the whales on the frontier of the host; or +possibly carrying on the war within the first circle, where abundance +of room and some convenient retreats were afforded them. But the sight +of the enraged drugged whales now and then blindly darting to and fro +across the circles, was nothing to what at last met our eyes. It is +sometimes the custom when fast to a whale more than commonly powerful +and alert, to seek to hamstring him, as it were, by sundering or +maiming his gigantic tail-tendon. It is done by darting a short-handled +cutting-spade, to which is attached a rope for hauling it back again. A +whale wounded (as we afterwards learned) in this part, but not +effectually, as it seemed, had broken away from the boat, carrying +along with him half of the harpoon line; and in the extraordinary agony +of the wound, he was now dashing among the revolving circles like the +lone mounted desperado Arnold, at the battle of Saratoga, carrying +dismay wherever he went. + +But agonizing as was the wound of this whale, and an appalling +spectacle enough, any way; yet the peculiar horror with which he seemed +to inspire the rest of the herd, was owing to a cause which at first +the intervening distance obscured from us. But at length we perceived +that by one of the unimaginable accidents of the fishery, this whale +had become entangled in the harpoon-line that he towed; he had also run +away with the cutting-spade in him; and while the free end of the rope +attached to that weapon, had permanently caught in the coils of the +harpoon-line round his tail, the cutting-spade itself had worked loose +from his flesh. So that tormented to madness, he was now churning +through the water, violently flailing with his flexible tail, and +tossing the keen spade about him, wounding and murdering his own +comrades. + +This terrific object seemed to recall the whole herd from their +stationary fright. First, the whales forming the margin of our lake +began to crowd a little, and tumble against each other, as if lifted by +half spent billows from afar; then the lake itself began faintly to +heave and swell; the submarine bridal-chambers and nurseries vanished; +in more and more contracting orbits the whales in the more central +circles began to swim in thickening clusters. Yes, the long calm was +departing. A low advancing hum was soon heard; and then like to the +tumultuous masses of block-ice when the great river Hudson breaks up in +Spring, the entire host of whales came tumbling upon their inner +centre, as if to pile themselves up in one common mountain. Instantly +Starbuck and Queequeg changed places; Starbuck taking the stern. + +Oars! Oars! he intensely whispered, seizing the helmgripe your +oars, and clutch your souls, now! My God, men, stand by! Shove him off, +you Queequegthe whale there!prick him!hit him! Stand upstand up, +and stay so! Spring, menpull, men; never mind their backsscrape +them!scrape away! + +The boat was now all but jammed between two vast black bulks, leaving a +narrow Dardanelles between their long lengths. But by desperate +endeavor we at last shot into a temporary opening; then giving way +rapidly, and at the same time earnestly watching for another outlet. +After many similar hair-breadth escapes, we at last swiftly glided into +what had just been one of the outer circles, but now crossed by random +whales, all violently making for one centre. This lucky salvation was +cheaply purchased by the loss of Queequegs hat, who, while standing in +the bows to prick the fugitive whales, had his hat taken clean from his +head by the air-eddy made by the sudden tossing of a pair of broad +flukes close by. + +Riotous and disordered as the universal commotion now was, it soon +resolved itself into what seemed a systematic movement; for having +clumped together at last in one dense body, they then renewed their +onward flight with augmented fleetness. Further pursuit was useless; +but the boats still lingered in their wake to pick up what drugged +whales might be dropped astern, and likewise to secure one which Flask +had killed and waifed. The waif is a pennoned pole, two or three of +which are carried by every boat; and which, when additional game is at +hand, are inserted upright into the floating body of a dead whale, both +to mark its place on the sea, and also as token of prior possession, +should the boats of any other ship draw near. + +The result of this lowering was somewhat illustrative of that sagacious +saying in the Fishery,the more whales the less fish. Of all the +drugged whales only one was captured. The rest contrived to escape for +the time, but only to be taken, as will hereafter be seen, by some +other craft than the Pequod. + + +CHAPTER 88. Schools and Schoolmasters. + +The previous chapter gave account of an immense body or herd of Sperm +Whales, and there was also then given the probable cause inducing those +vast aggregations. + +Now, though such great bodies are at times encountered, yet, as must +have been seen, even at the present day, small detached bands are +occasionally observed, embracing from twenty to fifty individuals each. +Such bands are known as schools. They generally are of two sorts; those +composed almost entirely of females, and those mustering none but young +vigorous males, or bulls, as they are familiarly designated. + +In cavalier attendance upon the school of females, you invariably see a +male of full grown magnitude, but not old; who, upon any alarm, evinces +his gallantry by falling in the rear and covering the flight of his +ladies. In truth, this gentleman is a luxurious Ottoman, swimming about +over the watery world, surroundingly accompanied by all the solaces and +endearments of the harem. The contrast between this Ottoman and his +concubines is striking; because, while he is always of the largest +leviathanic proportions, the ladies, even at full growth, are not more +than one-third of the bulk of an average-sized male. They are +comparatively delicate, indeed; I dare say, not to exceed half a dozen +yards round the waist. Nevertheless, it cannot be denied, that upon the +whole they are hereditarily entitled to _en bon point_. + +It is very curious to watch this harem and its lord in their indolent +ramblings. Like fashionables, they are for ever on the move in +leisurely search of variety. You meet them on the Line in time for the +full flower of the Equatorial feeding season, having just returned, +perhaps, from spending the summer in the Northern seas, and so cheating +summer of all unpleasant weariness and warmth. By the time they have +lounged up and down the promenade of the Equator awhile, they start for +the Oriental waters in anticipation of the cool season there, and so +evade the other excessive temperature of the year. + +When serenely advancing on one of these journeys, if any strange +suspicious sights are seen, my lord whale keeps a wary eye on his +interesting family. Should any unwarrantably pert young Leviathan +coming that way, presume to draw confidentially close to one of the +ladies, with what prodigious fury the Bashaw assails him, and chases +him away! High times, indeed, if unprincipled young rakes like him are +to be permitted to invade the sanctity of domestic bliss; though do +what the Bashaw will, he cannot keep the most notorious Lothario out of +his bed; for, alas! all fish bed in common. As ashore, the ladies often +cause the most terrible duels among their rival admirers; just so with +the whales, who sometimes come to deadly battle, and all for love. They +fence with their long lower jaws, sometimes locking them together, and +so striving for the supremacy like elks that warringly interweave their +antlers. Not a few are captured having the deep scars of these +encounters,furrowed heads, broken teeth, scolloped fins; and in some +instances, wrenched and dislocated mouths. + +But supposing the invader of domestic bliss to betake himself away at +the first rush of the harems lord, then is it very diverting to watch +that lord. Gently he insinuates his vast bulk among them again and +revels there awhile, still in tantalizing vicinity to young Lothario, +like pious Solomon devoutly worshipping among his thousand concubines. +Granting other whales to be in sight, the fishermen will seldom give +chase to one of these Grand Turks; for these Grand Turks are too lavish +of their strength, and hence their unctuousness is small. As for the +sons and the daughters they beget, why, those sons and daughters must +take care of themselves; at least, with only the maternal help. For +like certain other omnivorous roving lovers that might be named, my +Lord Whale has no taste for the nursery, however much for the bower; +and so, being a great traveller, he leaves his anonymous babies all +over the world; every baby an exotic. In good time, nevertheless, as +the ardour of youth declines; as years and dumps increase; as +reflection lends her solemn pauses; in short, as a general lassitude +overtakes the sated Turk; then a love of ease and virtue supplants the +love for maidens; our Ottoman enters upon the impotent, repentant, +admonitory stage of life, forswears, disbands the harem, and grown to +an exemplary, sulky old soul, goes about all alone among the meridians +and parallels saying his prayers, and warning each young Leviathan from +his amorous errors. + +Now, as the harem of whales is called by the fishermen a school, so is +the lord and master of that school technically known as the +schoolmaster. It is therefore not in strict character, however +admirably satirical, that after going to school himself, he should then +go abroad inculcating not what he learned there, but the folly of it. +His title, schoolmaster, would very naturally seem derived from the +name bestowed upon the harem itself, but some have surmised that the +man who first thus entitled this sort of Ottoman whale, must have read +the memoirs of Vidocq, and informed himself what sort of a +country-schoolmaster that famous Frenchman was in his younger days, and +what was the nature of those occult lessons he inculcated into some of +his pupils. + +The same secludedness and isolation to which the schoolmaster whale +betakes himself in his advancing years, is true of all aged Sperm +Whales. Almost universally, a lone whaleas a solitary Leviathan is +calledproves an ancient one. Like venerable moss-bearded Daniel Boone, +he will have no one near him but Nature herself; and her he takes to +wife in the wilderness of waters, and the best of wives she is, though +she keeps so many moody secrets. + +The schools composing none but young and vigorous males, previously +mentioned, offer a strong contrast to the harem schools. For while +those female whales are characteristically timid, the young males, or +forty-barrel-bulls, as they call them, are by far the most pugnacious +of all Leviathans, and proverbially the most dangerous to encounter; +excepting those wondrous grey-headed, grizzled whales, sometimes met, +and these will fight you like grim fiends exasperated by a penal gout. + +The Forty-barrel-bull schools are larger than the harem schools. Like a +mob of young collegians, they are full of fight, fun, and wickedness, +tumbling round the world at such a reckless, rollicking rate, that no +prudent underwriter would insure them any more than he would a riotous +lad at Yale or Harvard. They soon relinquish this turbulence though, +and when about three-fourths grown, break up, and separately go about +in quest of settlements, that is, harems. + +Another point of difference between the male and female schools is +still more characteristic of the sexes. Say you strike a +Forty-barrel-bullpoor devil! all his comrades quit him. But strike a +member of the harem school, and her companions swim around her with +every token of concern, sometimes lingering so near her and so long, as +themselves to fall a prey. + + +CHAPTER 89. Fast-Fish and Loose-Fish. + +The allusion to the waif and waif-poles in the last chapter but one, +necessitates some account of the laws and regulations of the whale +fishery, of which the waif may be deemed the grand symbol and badge. + +It frequently happens that when several ships are cruising in company, +a whale may be struck by one vessel, then escape, and be finally killed +and captured by another vessel; and herein are indirectly comprised +many minor contingencies, all partaking of this one grand feature. For +example,after a weary and perilous chase and capture of a whale, the +body may get loose from the ship by reason of a violent storm; and +drifting far away to leeward, be retaken by a second whaler, who, in a +calm, snugly tows it alongside, without risk of life or line. Thus the +most vexatious and violent disputes would often arise between the +fishermen, were there not some written or unwritten, universal, +undisputed law applicable to all cases. + +Perhaps the only formal whaling code authorized by legislative +enactment, was that of Holland. It was decreed by the States-General in +A.D. 1695. But though no other nation has ever had any written whaling +law, yet the American fishermen have been their own legislators and +lawyers in this matter. They have provided a system which for terse +comprehensiveness surpasses Justinians Pandects and the By-laws of the +Chinese Society for the Suppression of Meddling with other Peoples +Business. Yes; these laws might be engraven on a Queen Annes farthing, +or the barb of a harpoon, and worn round the neck, so small are they. + +I. A Fast-Fish belongs to the party fast to it. + +II. A Loose-Fish is fair game for anybody who can soonest catch it. + +But what plays the mischief with this masterly code is the admirable +brevity of it, which necessitates a vast volume of commentaries to +expound it. + +First: What is a Fast-Fish? Alive or dead a fish is technically fast, +when it is connected with an occupied ship or boat, by any medium at +all controllable by the occupant or occupants,a mast, an oar, a +nine-inch cable, a telegraph wire, or a strand of cobweb, it is all the +same. Likewise a fish is technically fast when it bears a waif, or any +other recognised symbol of possession; so long as the party waifing it +plainly evince their ability at any time to take it alongside, as well +as their intention so to do. + +These are scientific commentaries; but the commentaries of the whalemen +themselves sometimes consist in hard words and harder knocksthe +Coke-upon-Littleton of the fist. True, among the more upright and +honorable whalemen allowances are always made for peculiar cases, where +it would be an outrageous moral injustice for one party to claim +possession of a whale previously chased or killed by another party. But +others are by no means so scrupulous. + +Some fifty years ago there was a curious case of whale-trover litigated +in England, wherein the plaintiffs set forth that after a hard chase of +a whale in the Northern seas; and when indeed they (the plaintiffs) had +succeeded in harpooning the fish; they were at last, through peril of +their lives, obliged to forsake not only their lines, but their boat +itself. Ultimately the defendants (the crew of another ship) came up +with the whale, struck, killed, seized, and finally appropriated it +before the very eyes of the plaintiffs. And when those defendants were +remonstrated with, their captain snapped his fingers in the plaintiffs +teeth, and assured them that by way of doxology to the deed he had +done, he would now retain their line, harpoons, and boat, which had +remained attached to the whale at the time of the seizure. Wherefore +the plaintiffs now sued for the recovery of the value of their whale, +line, harpoons, and boat. + +Mr. Erskine was counsel for the defendants; Lord Ellenborough was the +judge. In the course of the defence, the witty Erskine went on to +illustrate his position, by alluding to a recent crim. con. case, +wherein a gentleman, after in vain trying to bridle his wifes +viciousness, had at last abandoned her upon the seas of life; but in +the course of years, repenting of that step, he instituted an action to +recover possession of her. Erskine was on the other side; and he then +supported it by saying, that though the gentleman had originally +harpooned the lady, and had once had her fast, and only by reason of +the great stress of her plunging viciousness, had at last abandoned +her; yet abandon her he did, so that she became a loose-fish; and +therefore when a subsequent gentleman re-harpooned her, the lady then +became that subsequent gentlemans property, along with whatever +harpoon might have been found sticking in her. + +Now in the present case Erskine contended that the examples of the +whale and the lady were reciprocally illustrative of each other. + +These pleadings, and the counter pleadings, being duly heard, the very +learned judge in set terms decided, to wit,That as for the boat, he +awarded it to the plaintiffs, because they had merely abandoned it to +save their lives; but that with regard to the controverted whale, +harpoons, and line, they belonged to the defendants; the whale, because +it was a Loose-Fish at the time of the final capture; and the harpoons +and line because when the fish made off with them, it (the fish) +acquired a property in those articles; and hence anybody who afterwards +took the fish had a right to them. Now the defendants afterwards took +the fish; ergo, the aforesaid articles were theirs. + +A common man looking at this decision of the very learned Judge, might +possibly object to it. But ploughed up to the primary rock of the +matter, the two great principles laid down in the twin whaling laws +previously quoted, and applied and elucidated by Lord Ellenborough in +the above cited case; these two laws touching Fast-Fish and Loose-Fish, +I say, will, on reflection, be found the fundamentals of all human +jurisprudence; for notwithstanding its complicated tracery of +sculpture, the Temple of the Law, like the Temple of the Philistines, +has but two props to stand on. + +Is it not a saying in every ones mouth, Possession is half of the law: +that is, regardless of how the thing came into possession? But often +possession is the whole of the law. What are the sinews and souls of +Russian serfs and Republican slaves but Fast-Fish, whereof possession +is the whole of the law? What to the rapacious landlord is the widows +last mite but a Fast-Fish? What is yonder undetected villains marble +mansion with a door-plate for a waif; what is that but a Fast-Fish? +What is the ruinous discount which Mordecai, the broker, gets from poor +Woebegone, the bankrupt, on a loan to keep Woebegones family from +starvation; what is that ruinous discount but a Fast-Fish? What is the +Archbishop of Savesouls income of 100,000 seized from the scant bread +and cheese of hundreds of thousands of broken-backed laborers (all sure +of heaven without any of Savesouls help) what is that globular +100,000 but a Fast-Fish? What are the Duke of Dunders hereditary +towns and hamlets but Fast-Fish? What to that redoubted harpooneer, +John Bull, is poor Ireland, but a Fast-Fish? What to that apostolic +lancer, Brother Jonathan, is Texas but a Fast-Fish? And concerning all +these, is not Possession the whole of the law? + +But if the doctrine of Fast-Fish be pretty generally applicable, the +kindred doctrine of Loose-Fish is still more widely so. That is +internationally and universally applicable. + +What was America in 1492 but a Loose-Fish, in which Columbus struck the +Spanish standard by way of waifing it for his royal master and +mistress? What was Poland to the Czar? What Greece to the Turk? What +India to England? What at last will Mexico be to the United States? All +Loose-Fish. + +What are the Rights of Man and the Liberties of the World but +Loose-Fish? What all mens minds and opinions but Loose-Fish? What is +the principle of religious belief in them but a Loose-Fish? What to the +ostentatious smuggling verbalists are the thoughts of thinkers but +Loose-Fish? What is the great globe itself but a Loose-Fish? And what +are you, reader, but a Loose-Fish and a Fast-Fish, too? + + +CHAPTER 90. Heads or Tails. + +De balena vero sufficit, si rex habeat caput, et regina caudam. +_Bracton, l. 3, c. 3._ + +Latin from the books of the Laws of England, which taken along with the +context, means, that of all whales captured by anybody on the coast of +that land, the King, as Honorary Grand Harpooneer, must have the head, +and the Queen be respectfully presented with the tail. A division +which, in the whale, is much like halving an apple; there is no +intermediate remainder. Now as this law, under a modified form, is to +this day in force in England; and as it offers in various respects a +strange anomaly touching the general law of Fast and Loose-Fish, it is +here treated of in a separate chapter, on the same courteous principle +that prompts the English railways to be at the expense of a separate +car, specially reserved for the accommodation of royalty. In the first +place, in curious proof of the fact that the above-mentioned law is +still in force, I proceed to lay before you a circumstance that +happened within the last two years. + +It seems that some honest mariners of Dover, or Sandwich, or some one +of the Cinque Ports, had after a hard chase succeeded in killing and +beaching a fine whale which they had originally descried afar off from +the shore. Now the Cinque Ports are partially or somehow under the +jurisdiction of a sort of policeman or beadle, called a Lord Warden. +Holding the office directly from the crown, I believe, all the royal +emoluments incident to the Cinque Port territories become by assignment +his. By some writers this office is called a sinecure. But not so. +Because the Lord Warden is busily employed at times in fobbing his +perquisites; which are his chiefly by virtue of that same fobbing of +them. + +Now when these poor sun-burnt mariners, bare-footed, and with their +trowsers rolled high up on their eely legs, had wearily hauled their +fat fish high and dry, promising themselves a good 150 from the +precious oil and bone; and in fantasy sipping rare tea with their +wives, and good ale with their cronies, upon the strength of their +respective shares; up steps a very learned and most Christian and +charitable gentleman, with a copy of Blackstone under his arm; and +laying it upon the whales head, he saysHands off! this fish, my +masters, is a Fast-Fish. I seize it as the Lord Wardens. Upon this +the poor mariners in their respectful consternationso truly +Englishknowing not what to say, fall to vigorously scratching their +heads all round; meanwhile ruefully glancing from the whale to the +stranger. But that did in nowise mend the matter, or at all soften the +hard heart of the learned gentleman with the copy of Blackstone. At +length one of them, after long scratching about for his ideas, made +bold to speak, + +Please, sir, who is the Lord Warden? + +The Duke. + +But the duke had nothing to do with taking this fish? + +It is his. + +We have been at great trouble, and peril, and some expense, and is all +that to go to the Dukes benefit; we getting nothing at all for our +pains but our blisters? + +It is his. + +Is the Duke so very poor as to be forced to this desperate mode of +getting a livelihood? + +It is his. + +I thought to relieve my old bed-ridden mother by part of my share of +this whale. + +It is his. + +Wont the Duke be content with a quarter or a half? + +It is his. + +In a word, the whale was seized and sold, and his Grace the Duke of +Wellington received the money. Thinking that viewed in some particular +lights, the case might by a bare possibility in some small degree be +deemed, under the circumstances, a rather hard one, an honest clergyman +of the town respectfully addressed a note to his Grace, begging him to +take the case of those unfortunate mariners into full consideration. To +which my Lord Duke in substance replied (both letters were published) +that he had already done so, and received the money, and would be +obliged to the reverend gentleman if for the future he (the reverend +gentleman) would decline meddling with other peoples business. Is this +the still militant old man, standing at the corners of the three +kingdoms, on all hands coercing alms of beggars? + +It will readily be seen that in this case the alleged right of the Duke +to the whale was a delegated one from the Sovereign. We must needs +inquire then on what principle the Sovereign is originally invested +with that right. The law itself has already been set forth. But Plowdon +gives us the reason for it. Says Plowdon, the whale so caught belongs +to the King and Queen, because of its superior excellence. And by the +soundest commentators this has ever been held a cogent argument in such +matters. + +But why should the King have the head, and the Queen the tail? A reason +for that, ye lawyers! + +In his treatise on Queen-Gold, or Queen-pinmoney, an old Kings Bench +author, one William Prynne, thus discourseth: Ye tail is ye Queens, +that ye Queens wardrobe may be supplied with ye whalebone. Now this +was written at a time when the black limber bone of the Greenland or +Right whale was largely used in ladies bodices. But this same bone is +not in the tail; it is in the head, which is a sad mistake for a +sagacious lawyer like Prynne. But is the Queen a mermaid, to be +presented with a tail? An allegorical meaning may lurk here. + +There are two royal fish so styled by the English law writersthe whale +and the sturgeon; both royal property under certain limitations, and +nominally supplying the tenth branch of the crowns ordinary revenue. I +know not that any other author has hinted of the matter; but by +inference it seems to me that the sturgeon must be divided in the same +way as the whale, the King receiving the highly dense and elastic head +peculiar to that fish, which, symbolically regarded, may possibly be +humorously grounded upon some presumed congeniality. And thus there +seems a reason in all things, even in law. + + +CHAPTER 91. The Pequod Meets The Rose-Bud. + +In vain it was to rake for Ambergriese in the paunch of this +Leviathan, insufferable fetor denying not inquiry. _Sir T. Browne, +V.E._ + +It was a week or two after the last whaling scene recounted, and when +we were slowly sailing over a sleepy, vapory, mid-day sea, that the +many noses on the Pequods deck proved more vigilant discoverers than +the three pairs of eyes aloft. A peculiar and not very pleasant smell +was smelt in the sea. + +I will bet something now, said Stubb, that somewhere hereabouts are +some of those drugged whales we tickled the other day. I thought they +would keel up before long. + +Presently, the vapors in advance slid aside; and there in the distance +lay a ship, whose furled sails betokened that some sort of whale must +be alongside. As we glided nearer, the stranger showed French colours +from his peak; and by the eddying cloud of vulture sea-fowl that +circled, and hovered, and swooped around him, it was plain that the +whale alongside must be what the fishermen call a blasted whale, that +is, a whale that has died unmolested on the sea, and so floated an +unappropriated corpse. It may well be conceived, what an unsavory odor +such a mass must exhale; worse than an Assyrian city in the plague, +when the living are incompetent to bury the departed. So intolerable +indeed is it regarded by some, that no cupidity could persuade them to +moor alongside of it. Yet are there those who will still do it; +notwithstanding the fact that the oil obtained from such subjects is of +a very inferior quality, and by no means of the nature of +attar-of-rose. + +Coming still nearer with the expiring breeze, we saw that the Frenchman +had a second whale alongside; and this second whale seemed even more of +a nosegay than the first. In truth, it turned out to be one of those +problematical whales that seem to dry up and die with a sort of +prodigious dyspepsia, or indigestion; leaving their defunct bodies +almost entirely bankrupt of anything like oil. Nevertheless, in the +proper place we shall see that no knowing fisherman will ever turn up +his nose at such a whale as this, however much he may shun blasted +whales in general. + +The Pequod had now swept so nigh to the stranger, that Stubb vowed he +recognised his cutting spade-pole entangled in the lines that were +knotted round the tail of one of these whales. + +Theres a pretty fellow, now, he banteringly laughed, standing in the +ships bows, theres a jackal for ye! I well know that these Crappoes +of Frenchmen are but poor devils in the fishery; sometimes lowering +their boats for breakers, mistaking them for Sperm Whale spouts; yes, +and sometimes sailing from their port with their hold full of boxes of +tallow candles, and cases of snuffers, foreseeing that all the oil they +will get wont be enough to dip the Captains wick into; aye, we all +know these things; but look ye, heres a Crappo that is content with +our leavings, the drugged whale there, I mean; aye, and is content too +with scraping the dry bones of that other precious fish he has there. +Poor devil! I say, pass round a hat, some one, and lets make him a +present of a little oil for dear charitys sake. For what oil hell get +from that drugged whale there, wouldnt be fit to burn in a jail; no, +not in a condemned cell. And as for the other whale, why, Ill agree to +get more oil by chopping up and trying out these three masts of ours, +than hell get from that bundle of bones; though, now that I think of +it, it may contain something worth a good deal more than oil; yes, +ambergris. I wonder now if our old man has thought of that. Its worth +trying. Yes, Im for it; and so saying he started for the +quarter-deck. + +By this time the faint air had become a complete calm; so that whether +or no, the Pequod was now fairly entrapped in the smell, with no hope +of escaping except by its breezing up again. Issuing from the cabin, +Stubb now called his boats crew, and pulled off for the stranger. +Drawing across her bow, he perceived that in accordance with the +fanciful French taste, the upper part of her stem-piece was carved in +the likeness of a huge drooping stalk, was painted green, and for +thorns had copper spikes projecting from it here and there; the whole +terminating in a symmetrical folded bulb of a bright red colour. Upon +her head boards, in large gilt letters, he read Bouton de +Rose,Rose-button, or Rose-bud; and this was the romantic name of this +aromatic ship. + +Though Stubb did not understand the _Bouton_ part of the inscription, +yet the word _rose_, and the bulbous figure-head put together, +sufficiently explained the whole to him. + +A wooden rose-bud, eh? he cried with his hand to his nose, that will +do very well; but how like all creation it smells! + +Now in order to hold direct communication with the people on deck, he +had to pull round the bows to the starboard side, and thus come close +to the blasted whale; and so talk over it. + +Arrived then at this spot, with one hand still to his nose, he +bawledBouton-de-Rose, ahoy! are there any of you Bouton-de-Roses that +speak English? + +Yes, rejoined a Guernsey-man from the bulwarks, who turned out to be +the chief-mate. + +Well, then, my Bouton-de-Rose-bud, have you seen the White Whale? + +_What_ whale? + +The _White_ Whalea Sperm WhaleMoby Dick, have ye seen him? + +Never heard of such a whale. Cachalot Blanche! White Whaleno. + +Very good, then; good bye now, and Ill call again in a minute. + +Then rapidly pulling back towards the Pequod, and seeing Ahab leaning +over the quarter-deck rail awaiting his report, he moulded his two +hands into a trumpet and shoutedNo, Sir! No! Upon which Ahab +retired, and Stubb returned to the Frenchman. + +He now perceived that the Guernsey-man, who had just got into the +chains, and was using a cutting-spade, had slung his nose in a sort of +bag. + +Whats the matter with your nose, there? said Stubb. Broke it? + +I wish it was broken, or that I didnt have any nose at all! answered +the Guernsey-man, who did not seem to relish the job he was at very +much. But what are you holding _yours_ for? + +Oh, nothing! Its a wax nose; I have to hold it on. Fine day, aint +it? Air rather gardenny, I should say; throw us a bunch of posies, will +ye, Bouton-de-Rose? + +What in the devils name do you want here? roared the Guernseyman, +flying into a sudden passion. + +Oh! keep coolcool? yes, thats the word! why dont you pack those +whales in ice while youre working at em? But joking aside, though; do +you know, Rose-bud, that its all nonsense trying to get any oil out of +such whales? As for that dried up one, there, he hasnt a gill in his +whole carcase. + +I know that well enough; but, dye see, the Captain here wont believe +it; this is his first voyage; he was a Cologne manufacturer before. But +come aboard, and mayhap hell believe you, if he wont me; and so Ill +get out of this dirty scrape. + +Anything to oblige ye, my sweet and pleasant fellow, rejoined Stubb, +and with that he soon mounted to the deck. There a queer scene +presented itself. The sailors, in tasselled caps of red worsted, were +getting the heavy tackles in readiness for the whales. But they worked +rather slow and talked very fast, and seemed in anything but a good +humor. All their noses upwardly projected from their faces like so many +jib-booms. Now and then pairs of them would drop their work, and run up +to the mast-head to get some fresh air. Some thinking they would catch +the plague, dipped oakum in coal-tar, and at intervals held it to their +nostrils. Others having broken the stems of their pipes almost short +off at the bowl, were vigorously puffing tobacco-smoke, so that it +constantly filled their olfactories. + +Stubb was struck by a shower of outcries and anathemas proceeding from +the Captains round-house abaft; and looking in that direction saw a +fiery face thrust from behind the door, which was held ajar from +within. This was the tormented surgeon, who, after in vain +remonstrating against the proceedings of the day, had betaken himself +to the Captains round-house (_cabinet_ he called it) to avoid the +pest; but still, could not help yelling out his entreaties and +indignations at times. + +Marking all this, Stubb argued well for his scheme, and turning to the +Guernsey-man had a little chat with him, during which the stranger mate +expressed his detestation of his Captain as a conceited ignoramus, who +had brought them all into so unsavory and unprofitable a pickle. +Sounding him carefully, Stubb further perceived that the Guernsey-man +had not the slightest suspicion concerning the ambergris. He therefore +held his peace on that head, but otherwise was quite frank and +confidential with him, so that the two quickly concocted a little plan +for both circumventing and satirizing the Captain, without his at all +dreaming of distrusting their sincerity. According to this little plan +of theirs, the Guernsey-man, under cover of an interpreters office, +was to tell the Captain what he pleased, but as coming from Stubb; and +as for Stubb, he was to utter any nonsense that should come uppermost +in him during the interview. + +By this time their destined victim appeared from his cabin. He was a +small and dark, but rather delicate looking man for a sea-captain, with +large whiskers and moustache, however; and wore a red cotton velvet +vest with watch-seals at his side. To this gentleman, Stubb was now +politely introduced by the Guernsey-man, who at once ostentatiously put +on the aspect of interpreting between them. + +What shall I say to him first? said he. + +Why, said Stubb, eyeing the velvet vest and the watch and seals, you +may as well begin by telling him that he looks a sort of babyish to me, +though I dont pretend to be a judge. + +He says, Monsieur, said the Guernsey-man, in French, turning to his +captain, that only yesterday his ship spoke a vessel, whose captain +and chief-mate, with six sailors, had all died of a fever caught from a +blasted whale they had brought alongside. + +Upon this the captain started, and eagerly desired to know more. + +What now? said the Guernsey-man to Stubb. + +Why, since he takes it so easy, tell him that now I have eyed him +carefully, Im quite certain that hes no more fit to command a +whale-ship than a St. Jago monkey. In fact, tell him from me hes a +baboon. + +He vows and declares, Monsieur, that the other whale, the dried one, +is far more deadly than the blasted one; in fine, Monsieur, he conjures +us, as we value our lives, to cut loose from these fish. + +Instantly the captain ran forward, and in a loud voice commanded his +crew to desist from hoisting the cutting-tackles, and at once cast +loose the cables and chains confining the whales to the ship. + +What now? said the Guernsey-man, when the Captain had returned to +them. + +Why, let me see; yes, you may as well tell him now thatthatin fact, +tell him Ive diddled him, and (aside to himself) perhaps somebody +else. + +He says, Monsieur, that hes very happy to have been of any service to +us. + +Hearing this, the captain vowed that they were the grateful parties +(meaning himself and mate) and concluded by inviting Stubb down into +his cabin to drink a bottle of Bordeaux. + +He wants you to take a glass of wine with him, said the interpreter. + +Thank him heartily; but tell him its against my principles to drink +with the man Ive diddled. In fact, tell him I must go. + +He says, Monsieur, that his principles wont admit of his drinking; +but that if Monsieur wants to live another day to drink, then Monsieur +had best drop all four boats, and pull the ship away from these whales, +for its so calm they wont drift. + +By this time Stubb was over the side, and getting into his boat, hailed +the Guernsey-man to this effect,that having a long tow-line in his +boat, he would do what he could to help them, by pulling out the +lighter whale of the two from the ships side. While the Frenchmans +boats, then, were engaged in towing the ship one way, Stubb +benevolently towed away at his whale the other way, ostentatiously +slacking out a most unusually long tow-line. + +Presently a breeze sprang up; Stubb feigned to cast off from the whale; +hoisting his boats, the Frenchman soon increased his distance, while +the Pequod slid in between him and Stubbs whale. Whereupon Stubb +quickly pulled to the floating body, and hailing the Pequod to give +notice of his intentions, at once proceeded to reap the fruit of his +unrighteous cunning. Seizing his sharp boat-spade, he commenced an +excavation in the body, a little behind the side fin. You would almost +have thought he was digging a cellar there in the sea; and when at +length his spade struck against the gaunt ribs, it was like turning up +old Roman tiles and pottery buried in fat English loam. His boats crew +were all in high excitement, eagerly helping their chief, and looking +as anxious as gold-hunters. + +And all the time numberless fowls were diving, and ducking, and +screaming, and yelling, and fighting around them. Stubb was beginning +to look disappointed, especially as the horrible nosegay increased, +when suddenly from out the very heart of this plague, there stole a +faint stream of perfume, which flowed through the tide of bad smells +without being absorbed by it, as one river will flow into and then +along with another, without at all blending with it for a time. + +I have it, I have it, cried Stubb, with delight, striking something +in the subterranean regions, a purse! a purse! + +Dropping his spade, he thrust both hands in, and drew out handfuls of +something that looked like ripe Windsor soap, or rich mottled old +cheese; very unctuous and savory withal. You might easily dent it with +your thumb; it is of a hue between yellow and ash colour. And this, +good friends, is ambergris, worth a gold guinea an ounce to any +druggist. Some six handfuls were obtained; but more was unavoidably +lost in the sea, and still more, perhaps, might have been secured were +it not for impatient Ahabs loud command to Stubb to desist, and come +on board, else the ship would bid them good bye. + + +CHAPTER 92. Ambergris. + +Now this ambergris is a very curious substance, and so important as an +article of commerce, that in 1791 a certain Nantucket-born Captain +Coffin was examined at the bar of the English House of Commons on that +subject. For at that time, and indeed until a comparatively late day, +the precise origin of ambergris remained, like amber itself, a problem +to the learned. Though the word ambergris is but the French compound +for grey amber, yet the two substances are quite distinct. For amber, +though at times found on the sea-coast, is also dug up in some far +inland soils, whereas ambergris is never found except upon the sea. +Besides, amber is a hard, transparent, brittle, odorless substance, +used for mouth-pieces to pipes, for beads and ornaments; but ambergris +is soft, waxy, and so highly fragrant and spicy, that it is largely +used in perfumery, in pastiles, precious candles, hair-powders, and +pomatum. The Turks use it in cooking, and also carry it to Mecca, for +the same purpose that frankincense is carried to St. Peters in Rome. +Some wine merchants drop a few grains into claret, to flavor it. + +Who would think, then, that such fine ladies and gentlemen should +regale themselves with an essence found in the inglorious bowels of a +sick whale! Yet so it is. By some, ambergris is supposed to be the +cause, and by others the effect, of the dyspepsia in the whale. How to +cure such a dyspepsia it were hard to say, unless by administering +three or four boat loads of Brandreths pills, and then running out of +harms way, as laborers do in blasting rocks. + +I have forgotten to say that there were found in this ambergris, +certain hard, round, bony plates, which at first Stubb thought might be +sailors trowsers buttons; but it afterwards turned out that they were +nothing more than pieces of small squid bones embalmed in that manner. + +Now that the incorruption of this most fragrant ambergris should be +found in the heart of such decay; is this nothing? Bethink thee of that +saying of St. Paul in Corinthians, about corruption and incorruption; +how that we are sown in dishonor, but raised in glory. And likewise +call to mind that saying of Paracelsus about what it is that maketh the +best musk. Also forget not the strange fact that of all things of +ill-savor, Cologne-water, in its rudimental manufacturing stages, is +the worst. + +I should like to conclude the chapter with the above appeal, but +cannot, owing to my anxiety to repel a charge often made against +whalemen, and which, in the estimation of some already biased minds, +might be considered as indirectly substantiated by what has been said +of the Frenchmans two whales. Elsewhere in this volume the slanderous +aspersion has been disproved, that the vocation of whaling is +throughout a slatternly, untidy business. But there is another thing to +rebut. They hint that all whales always smell bad. Now how did this +odious stigma originate? + +I opine, that it is plainly traceable to the first arrival of the +Greenland whaling ships in London, more than two centuries ago. Because +those whalemen did not then, and do not now, try out their oil at sea +as the Southern ships have always done; but cutting up the fresh +blubber in small bits, thrust it through the bung holes of large casks, +and carry it home in that manner; the shortness of the season in those +Icy Seas, and the sudden and violent storms to which they are exposed, +forbidding any other course. The consequence is, that upon breaking +into the hold, and unloading one of these whale cemeteries, in the +Greenland dock, a savor is given forth somewhat similar to that arising +from excavating an old city grave-yard, for the foundations of a +Lying-in Hospital. + +I partly surmise also, that this wicked charge against whalers may be +likewise imputed to the existence on the coast of Greenland, in former +times, of a Dutch village called Schmerenburgh or Smeerenberg, which +latter name is the one used by the learned Fogo Von Slack, in his great +work on Smells, a text-book on that subject. As its name imports +(smeer, fat; berg, to put up), this village was founded in order to +afford a place for the blubber of the Dutch whale fleet to be tried +out, without being taken home to Holland for that purpose. It was a +collection of furnaces, fat-kettles, and oil sheds; and when the works +were in full operation certainly gave forth no very pleasant savor. But +all this is quite different with a South Sea Sperm Whaler; which in a +voyage of four years perhaps, after completely filling her hold with +oil, does not, perhaps, consume fifty days in the business of boiling +out; and in the state that it is casked, the oil is nearly scentless. +The truth is, that living or dead, if but decently treated, whales as a +species are by no means creatures of ill odor; nor can whalemen be +recognised, as the people of the middle ages affected to detect a Jew +in the company, by the nose. Nor indeed can the whale possibly be +otherwise than fragrant, when, as a general thing, he enjoys such high +health; taking abundance of exercise; always out of doors; though, it +is true, seldom in the open air. I say, that the motion of a Sperm +Whales flukes above water dispenses a perfume, as when a musk-scented +lady rustles her dress in a warm parlor. What then shall I liken the +Sperm Whale to for fragrance, considering his magnitude? Must it not be +to that famous elephant, with jewelled tusks, and redolent with myrrh, +which was led out of an Indian town to do honor to Alexander the Great? + + +CHAPTER 93. The Castaway. + +It was but some few days after encountering the Frenchman, that a most +significant event befell the most insignificant of the Pequods crew; +an event most lamentable; and which ended in providing the sometimes +madly merry and predestinated craft with a living and ever accompanying +prophecy of whatever shattered sequel might prove her own. + +Now, in the whale ship, it is not every one that goes in the boats. +Some few hands are reserved called ship-keepers, whose province it is +to work the vessel while the boats are pursuing the whale. As a general +thing, these ship-keepers are as hardy fellows as the men comprising +the boats crews. But if there happen to be an unduly slender, clumsy, +or timorous wight in the ship, that wight is certain to be made a +ship-keeper. It was so in the Pequod with the little negro Pippin by +nick-name, Pip by abbreviation. Poor Pip! ye have heard of him before; +ye must remember his tambourine on that dramatic midnight, so +gloomy-jolly. + +In outer aspect, Pip and Dough-Boy made a match, like a black pony and +a white one, of equal developments, though of dissimilar colour, driven +in one eccentric span. But while hapless Dough-Boy was by nature dull +and torpid in his intellects, Pip, though over tender-hearted, was at +bottom very bright, with that pleasant, genial, jolly brightness +peculiar to his tribe; a tribe, which ever enjoy all holidays and +festivities with finer, freer relish than any other race. For blacks, +the years calendar should show naught but three hundred and sixty-five +Fourth of Julys and New Years Days. Nor smile so, while I write that +this little black was brilliant, for even blackness has its brilliancy; +behold yon lustrous ebony, panelled in kings cabinets. But Pip loved +life, and all lifes peaceable securities; so that the panic-striking +business in which he had somehow unaccountably become entrapped, had +most sadly blurred his brightness; though, as ere long will be seen, +what was thus temporarily subdued in him, in the end was destined to be +luridly illumined by strange wild fires, that fictitiously showed him +off to ten times the natural lustre with which in his native Tolland +County in Connecticut, he had once enlivened many a fiddlers frolic on +the green; and at melodious even-tide, with his gay ha-ha! had turned +the round horizon into one star-belled tambourine. So, though in the +clear air of day, suspended against a blue-veined neck, the +pure-watered diamond drop will healthful glow; yet, when the cunning +jeweller would show you the diamond in its most impressive lustre, he +lays it against a gloomy ground, and then lights it up, not by the sun, +but by some unnatural gases. Then come out those fiery effulgences, +infernally superb; then the evil-blazing diamond, once the divinest +symbol of the crystal skies, looks like some crown-jewel stolen from +the King of Hell. But let us to the story. + +It came to pass, that in the ambergris affair Stubbs after-oarsman +chanced so to sprain his hand, as for a time to become quite maimed; +and, temporarily, Pip was put into his place. + +The first time Stubb lowered with him, Pip evinced much nervousness; +but happily, for that time, escaped close contact with the whale; and +therefore came off not altogether discreditably; though Stubb observing +him, took care, afterwards, to exhort him to cherish his courageousness +to the utmost, for he might often find it needful. + +Now upon the second lowering, the boat paddled upon the whale; and as +the fish received the darted iron, it gave its customary rap, which +happened, in this instance, to be right under poor Pips seat. The +involuntary consternation of the moment caused him to leap, paddle in +hand, out of the boat; and in such a way, that part of the slack whale +line coming against his chest, he breasted it overboard with him, so as +to become entangled in it, when at last plumping into the water. That +instant the stricken whale started on a fierce run, the line swiftly +straightened; and presto! poor Pip came all foaming up to the chocks of +the boat, remorselessly dragged there by the line, which had taken +several turns around his chest and neck. + +Tashtego stood in the bows. He was full of the fire of the hunt. He +hated Pip for a poltroon. Snatching the boat-knife from its sheath, he +suspended its sharp edge over the line, and turning towards Stubb, +exclaimed interrogatively, Cut? Meantime Pips blue, choked face +plainly looked, Do, for Gods sake! All passed in a flash. In less than +half a minute, this entire thing happened. + +Damn him, cut! roared Stubb; and so the whale was lost and Pip was +saved. + +So soon as he recovered himself, the poor little negro was assailed by +yells and execrations from the crew. Tranquilly permitting these +irregular cursings to evaporate, Stubb then in a plain, business-like, +but still half humorous manner, cursed Pip officially; and that done, +unofficially gave him much wholesome advice. The substance was, Never +jump from a boat, Pip, exceptbut all the rest was indefinite, as the +soundest advice ever is. Now, in general, _Stick to the boat_, is your +true motto in whaling; but cases will sometimes happen when _Leap from +the boat_, is still better. Moreover, as if perceiving at last that if +he should give undiluted conscientious advice to Pip, he would be +leaving him too wide a margin to jump in for the future; Stubb suddenly +dropped all advice, and concluded with a peremptory command, Stick to +the boat, Pip, or by the Lord, I wont pick you up if you jump; mind +that. We cant afford to lose whales by the likes of you; a whale would +sell for thirty times what you would, Pip, in Alabama. Bear that in +mind, and dont jump any more. Hereby perhaps Stubb indirectly hinted, +that though man loved his fellow, yet man is a money-making animal, +which propensity too often interferes with his benevolence. + +But we are all in the hands of the Gods; and Pip jumped again. It was +under very similar circumstances to the first performance; but this +time he did not breast out the line; and hence, when the whale started +to run, Pip was left behind on the sea, like a hurried travellers +trunk. Alas! Stubb was but too true to his word. It was a beautiful, +bounteous, blue day; the spangled sea calm and cool, and flatly +stretching away, all round, to the horizon, like gold-beaters skin +hammered out to the extremest. Bobbing up and down in that sea, Pips +ebon head showed like a head of cloves. No boat-knife was lifted when +he fell so rapidly astern. Stubbs inexorable back was turned upon him; +and the whale was winged. In three minutes, a whole mile of shoreless +ocean was between Pip and Stubb. Out from the centre of the sea, poor +Pip turned his crisp, curling, black head to the sun, another lonely +castaway, though the loftiest and the brightest. + +Now, in calm weather, to swim in the open ocean is as easy to the +practised swimmer as to ride in a spring-carriage ashore. But the awful +lonesomeness is intolerable. The intense concentration of self in the +middle of such a heartless immensity, my God! who can tell it? Mark, +how when sailors in a dead calm bathe in the open seamark how closely +they hug their ship and only coast along her sides. + +But had Stubb really abandoned the poor little negro to his fate? No; +he did not mean to, at least. Because there were two boats in his wake, +and he supposed, no doubt, that they would of course come up to Pip +very quickly, and pick him up; though, indeed, such considerations +towards oarsmen jeopardized through their own timidity, is not always +manifested by the hunters in all similar instances; and such instances +not unfrequently occur; almost invariably in the fishery, a coward, so +called, is marked with the same ruthless detestation peculiar to +military navies and armies. + +But it so happened, that those boats, without seeing Pip, suddenly +spying whales close to them on one side, turned, and gave chase; and +Stubbs boat was now so far away, and he and all his crew so intent +upon his fish, that Pips ringed horizon began to expand around him +miserably. By the merest chance the ship itself at last rescued him; +but from that hour the little negro went about the deck an idiot; such, +at least, they said he was. The sea had jeeringly kept his finite body +up, but drowned the infinite of his soul. Not drowned entirely, though. +Rather carried down alive to wondrous depths, where strange shapes of +the unwarped primal world glided to and fro before his passive eyes; +and the miser-merman, Wisdom, revealed his hoarded heaps; and among the +joyous, heartless, ever-juvenile eternities, Pip saw the multitudinous, +God-omnipresent, coral insects, that out of the firmament of waters +heaved the colossal orbs. He saw Gods foot upon the treadle of the +loom, and spoke it; and therefore his shipmates called him mad. So +mans insanity is heavens sense; and wandering from all mortal reason, +man comes at last to that celestial thought, which, to reason, is +absurd and frantic; and weal or woe, feels then uncompromised, +indifferent as his God. + +For the rest, blame not Stubb too hardly. The thing is common in that +fishery; and in the sequel of the narrative, it will then be seen what +like abandonment befell myself. + + +CHAPTER 94. A Squeeze of the Hand. + +That whale of Stubbs, so dearly purchased, was duly brought to the +Pequods side, where all those cutting and hoisting operations +previously detailed, were regularly gone through, even to the baling of +the Heidelburgh Tun, or Case. + +While some were occupied with this latter duty, others were employed in +dragging away the larger tubs, so soon as filled with the sperm; and +when the proper time arrived, this same sperm was carefully manipulated +ere going to the try-works, of which anon. + +It had cooled and crystallized to such a degree, that when, with +several others, I sat down before a large Constantines bath of it, I +found it strangely concreted into lumps, here and there rolling about +in the liquid part. It was our business to squeeze these lumps back +into fluid. A sweet and unctuous duty! No wonder that in old times this +sperm was such a favourite cosmetic. Such a clearer! such a sweetener! +such a softener! such a delicious molifier! After having my hands in it +for only a few minutes, my fingers felt like eels, and began, as it +were, to serpentine and spiralise. + +As I sat there at my ease, cross-legged on the deck; after the bitter +exertion at the windlass; under a blue tranquil sky; the ship under +indolent sail, and gliding so serenely along; as I bathed my hands +among those soft, gentle globules of infiltrated tissues, woven almost +within the hour; as they richly broke to my fingers, and discharged all +their opulence, like fully ripe grapes their wine; as I snuffed up that +uncontaminated aroma,literally and truly, like the smell of spring +violets; I declare to you, that for the time I lived as in a musky +meadow; I forgot all about our horrible oath; in that inexpressible +sperm, I washed my hands and my heart of it; I almost began to credit +the old Paracelsan superstition that sperm is of rare virtue in +allaying the heat of anger; while bathing in that bath, I felt divinely +free from all ill-will, or petulance, or malice, of any sort +whatsoever. + +Squeeze! squeeze! squeeze! all the morning long; I squeezed that sperm +till I myself almost melted into it; I squeezed that sperm till a +strange sort of insanity came over me; and I found myself unwittingly +squeezing my co-laborers hands in it, mistaking their hands for the +gentle globules. Such an abounding, affectionate, friendly, loving +feeling did this avocation beget; that at last I was continually +squeezing their hands, and looking up into their eyes sentimentally; as +much as to say,Oh! my dear fellow beings, why should we longer cherish +any social acerbities, or know the slightest ill-humor or envy! Come; +let us squeeze hands all round; nay, let us all squeeze ourselves into +each other; let us squeeze ourselves universally into the very milk and +sperm of kindness. + +Would that I could keep squeezing that sperm for ever! For now, since +by many prolonged, repeated experiences, I have perceived that in all +cases man must eventually lower, or at least shift, his conceit of +attainable felicity; not placing it anywhere in the intellect or the +fancy; but in the wife, the heart, the bed, the table, the saddle, the +fireside, the country; now that I have perceived all this, I am ready +to squeeze case eternally. In thoughts of the visions of the night, I +saw long rows of angels in paradise, each with his hands in a jar of +spermaceti. + +Now, while discoursing of sperm, it behooves to speak of other things +akin to it, in the business of preparing the sperm whale for the +try-works. + +First comes white-horse, so called, which is obtained from the tapering +part of the fish, and also from the thicker portions of his flukes. It +is tough with congealed tendonsa wad of musclebut still contains some +oil. After being severed from the whale, the white-horse is first cut +into portable oblongs ere going to the mincer. They look much like +blocks of Berkshire marble. + +Plum-pudding is the term bestowed upon certain fragmentary parts of the +whales flesh, here and there adhering to the blanket of blubber, and +often participating to a considerable degree in its unctuousness. It is +a most refreshing, convivial, beautiful object to behold. As its name +imports, it is of an exceedingly rich, mottled tint, with a bestreaked +snowy and golden ground, dotted with spots of the deepest crimson and +purple. It is plums of rubies, in pictures of citron. Spite of reason, +it is hard to keep yourself from eating it. I confess, that once I +stole behind the foremast to try it. It tasted something as I should +conceive a royal cutlet from the thigh of Louis le Gros might have +tasted, supposing him to have been killed the first day after the +venison season, and that particular venison season contemporary with an +unusually fine vintage of the vineyards of Champagne. + +There is another substance, and a very singular one, which turns up in +the course of this business, but which I feel it to be very puzzling +adequately to describe. It is called slobgollion; an appellation +original with the whalemen, and even so is the nature of the substance. +It is an ineffably oozy, stringy affair, most frequently found in the +tubs of sperm, after a prolonged squeezing, and subsequent decanting. I +hold it to be the wondrously thin, ruptured membranes of the case, +coalescing. + +Gurry, so called, is a term properly belonging to right whalemen, but +sometimes incidentally used by the sperm fishermen. It designates the +dark, glutinous substance which is scraped off the back of the +Greenland or right whale, and much of which covers the decks of those +inferior souls who hunt that ignoble Leviathan. + +Nippers. Strictly this word is not indigenous to the whales +vocabulary. But as applied by whalemen, it becomes so. A whalemans +nipper is a short firm strip of tendinous stuff cut from the tapering +part of Leviathans tail: it averages an inch in thickness, and for the +rest, is about the size of the iron part of a hoe. Edgewise moved along +the oily deck, it operates like a leathern squilgee; and by nameless +blandishments, as of magic, allures along with it all impurities. + +But to learn all about these recondite matters, your best way is at +once to descend into the blubber-room, and have a long talk with its +inmates. This place has previously been mentioned as the receptacle for +the blanket-pieces, when stript and hoisted from the whale. When the +proper time arrives for cutting up its contents, this apartment is a +scene of terror to all tyros, especially by night. On one side, lit by +a dull lantern, a space has been left clear for the workmen. They +generally go in pairs,a pike-and-gaffman and a spade-man. The +whaling-pike is similar to a frigates boarding-weapon of the same +name. The gaff is something like a boat-hook. With his gaff, the +gaffman hooks on to a sheet of blubber, and strives to hold it from +slipping, as the ship pitches and lurches about. Meanwhile, the +spade-man stands on the sheet itself, perpendicularly chopping it into +the portable horse-pieces. This spade is sharp as hone can make it; the +spademans feet are shoeless; the thing he stands on will sometimes +irresistibly slide away from him, like a sledge. If he cuts off one of +his own toes, or one of his assistants, would you be very much +astonished? Toes are scarce among veteran blubber-room men. + + +CHAPTER 95. The Cassock. + +Had you stepped on board the Pequod at a certain juncture of this +post-mortemizing of the whale; and had you strolled forward nigh the +windlass, pretty sure am I that you would have scanned with no small +curiosity a very strange, enigmatical object, which you would have seen +there, lying along lengthwise in the lee scuppers. Not the wondrous +cistern in the whales huge head; not the prodigy of his unhinged lower +jaw; not the miracle of his symmetrical tail; none of these would so +surprise you, as half a glimpse of that unaccountable cone,longer than +a Kentuckian is tall, nigh a foot in diameter at the base, and +jet-black as Yojo, the ebony idol of Queequeg. And an idol, indeed, it +is; or, rather, in old times, its likeness was. Such an idol as that +found in the secret groves of Queen Maachah in Judea; and for +worshipping which, King Asa, her son, did depose her, and destroyed the +idol, and burnt it for an abomination at the brook Kedron, as darkly +set forth in the 15th chapter of the First Book of Kings. + +Look at the sailor, called the mincer, who now comes along, and +assisted by two allies, heavily backs the grandissimus, as the mariners +call it, and with bowed shoulders, staggers off with it as if he were a +grenadier carrying a dead comrade from the field. Extending it upon the +forecastle deck, he now proceeds cylindrically to remove its dark pelt, +as an African hunter the pelt of a boa. This done he turns the pelt +inside out, like a pantaloon leg; gives it a good stretching, so as +almost to double its diameter; and at last hangs it, well spread, in +the rigging, to dry. Ere long, it is taken down; when removing some +three feet of it, towards the pointed extremity, and then cutting two +slits for arm-holes at the other end, he lengthwise slips himself +bodily into it. The mincer now stands before you invested in the full +canonicals of his calling. Immemorial to all his order, this +investiture alone will adequately protect him, while employed in the +peculiar functions of his office. + +That office consists in mincing the horse-pieces of blubber for the +pots; an operation which is conducted at a curious wooden horse, +planted endwise against the bulwarks, and with a capacious tub beneath +it, into which the minced pieces drop, fast as the sheets from a rapt +orators desk. Arrayed in decent black; occupying a conspicuous pulpit; +intent on bible leaves; what a candidate for an archbishopric, what a +lad for a Pope were this mincer!* + +*Bible leaves! Bible leaves! This is the invariable cry from the mates +to the mincer. It enjoins him to be careful, and cut his work into as +thin slices as possible, inasmuch as by so doing the business of +boiling out the oil is much accelerated, and its quantity considerably +increased, besides perhaps improving it in quality. + + +CHAPTER 96. The Try-Works. + +Besides her hoisted boats, an American whaler is outwardly +distinguished by her try-works. She presents the curious anomaly of the +most solid masonry joining with oak and hemp in constituting the +completed ship. It is as if from the open field a brick-kiln were +transported to her planks. + +The try-works are planted between the foremast and mainmast, the most +roomy part of the deck. The timbers beneath are of a peculiar strength, +fitted to sustain the weight of an almost solid mass of brick and +mortar, some ten feet by eight square, and five in height. The +foundation does not penetrate the deck, but the masonry is firmly +secured to the surface by ponderous knees of iron bracing it on all +sides, and screwing it down to the timbers. On the flanks it is cased +with wood, and at top completely covered by a large, sloping, battened +hatchway. Removing this hatch we expose the great try-pots, two in +number, and each of several barrels capacity. When not in use, they +are kept remarkably clean. Sometimes they are polished with soapstone +and sand, till they shine within like silver punch-bowls. During the +night-watches some cynical old sailors will crawl into them and coil +themselves away there for a nap. While employed in polishing themone +man in each pot, side by sidemany confidential communications are +carried on, over the iron lips. It is a place also for profound +mathematical meditation. It was in the left hand try-pot of the Pequod, +with the soapstone diligently circling round me, that I was first +indirectly struck by the remarkable fact, that in geometry all bodies +gliding along the cycloid, my soapstone for example, will descend from +any point in precisely the same time. + +Removing the fire-board from the front of the try-works, the bare +masonry of that side is exposed, penetrated by the two iron mouths of +the furnaces, directly underneath the pots. These mouths are fitted +with heavy doors of iron. The intense heat of the fire is prevented +from communicating itself to the deck, by means of a shallow reservoir +extending under the entire inclosed surface of the works. By a tunnel +inserted at the rear, this reservoir is kept replenished with water as +fast as it evaporates. There are no external chimneys; they open direct +from the rear wall. And here let us go back for a moment. + +It was about nine oclock at night that the Pequods try-works were +first started on this present voyage. It belonged to Stubb to oversee +the business. + +All ready there? Off hatch, then, and start her. You cook, fire the +works. This was an easy thing, for the carpenter had been thrusting +his shavings into the furnace throughout the passage. Here be it said +that in a whaling voyage the first fire in the try-works has to be fed +for a time with wood. After that no wood is used, except as a means of +quick ignition to the staple fuel. In a word, after being tried out, +the crisp, shrivelled blubber, now called scraps or fritters, still +contains considerable of its unctuous properties. These fritters feed +the flames. Like a plethoric burning martyr, or a self-consuming +misanthrope, once ignited, the whale supplies his own fuel and burns by +his own body. Would that he consumed his own smoke! for his smoke is +horrible to inhale, and inhale it you must, and not only that, but you +must live in it for the time. It has an unspeakable, wild, Hindoo odor +about it, such as may lurk in the vicinity of funereal pyres. It smells +like the left wing of the day of judgment; it is an argument for the +pit. + +By midnight the works were in full operation. We were clear from the +carcase; sail had been made; the wind was freshening; the wild ocean +darkness was intense. But that darkness was licked up by the fierce +flames, which at intervals forked forth from the sooty flues, and +illuminated every lofty rope in the rigging, as with the famed Greek +fire. The burning ship drove on, as if remorselessly commissioned to +some vengeful deed. So the pitch and sulphur-freighted brigs of the +bold Hydriote, Canaris, issuing from their midnight harbors, with broad +sheets of flame for sails, bore down upon the Turkish frigates, and +folded them in conflagrations. + +The hatch, removed from the top of the works, now afforded a wide +hearth in front of them. Standing on this were the Tartarean shapes of +the pagan harpooneers, always the whale-ships stokers. With huge +pronged poles they pitched hissing masses of blubber into the scalding +pots, or stirred up the fires beneath, till the snaky flames darted, +curling, out of the doors to catch them by the feet. The smoke rolled +away in sullen heaps. To every pitch of the ship there was a pitch of +the boiling oil, which seemed all eagerness to leap into their faces. +Opposite the mouth of the works, on the further side of the wide wooden +hearth, was the windlass. This served for a sea-sofa. Here lounged the +watch, when not otherwise employed, looking into the red heat of the +fire, till their eyes felt scorched in their heads. Their tawny +features, now all begrimed with smoke and sweat, their matted beards, +and the contrasting barbaric brilliancy of their teeth, all these were +strangely revealed in the capricious emblazonings of the works. As they +narrated to each other their unholy adventures, their tales of terror +told in words of mirth; as their uncivilized laughter forked upwards +out of them, like the flames from the furnace; as to and fro, in their +front, the harpooneers wildly gesticulated with their huge pronged +forks and dippers; as the wind howled on, and the sea leaped, and the +ship groaned and dived, and yet steadfastly shot her red hell further +and further into the blackness of the sea and the night, and scornfully +champed the white bone in her mouth, and viciously spat round her on +all sides; then the rushing Pequod, freighted with savages, and laden +with fire, and burning a corpse, and plunging into that blackness of +darkness, seemed the material counterpart of her monomaniac commanders +soul. + +So seemed it to me, as I stood at her helm, and for long hours silently +guided the way of this fire-ship on the sea. Wrapped, for that +interval, in darkness myself, I but the better saw the redness, the +madness, the ghastliness of others. The continual sight of the fiend +shapes before me, capering half in smoke and half in fire, these at +last begat kindred visions in my soul, so soon as I began to yield to +that unaccountable drowsiness which ever would come over me at a +midnight helm. + +But that night, in particular, a strange (and ever since inexplicable) +thing occurred to me. Starting from a brief standing sleep, I was +horribly conscious of something fatally wrong. The jaw-bone tiller +smote my side, which leaned against it; in my ears was the low hum of +sails, just beginning to shake in the wind; I thought my eyes were +open; I was half conscious of putting my fingers to the lids and +mechanically stretching them still further apart. But, spite of all +this, I could see no compass before me to steer by; though it seemed +but a minute since I had been watching the card, by the steady binnacle +lamp illuminating it. Nothing seemed before me but a jet gloom, now and +then made ghastly by flashes of redness. Uppermost was the impression, +that whatever swift, rushing thing I stood on was not so much bound to +any haven ahead as rushing from all havens astern. A stark, bewildered +feeling, as of death, came over me. Convulsively my hands grasped the +tiller, but with the crazy conceit that the tiller was, somehow, in +some enchanted way, inverted. My God! what is the matter with me? +thought I. Lo! in my brief sleep I had turned myself about, and was +fronting the ships stern, with my back to her prow and the compass. In +an instant I faced back, just in time to prevent the vessel from flying +up into the wind, and very probably capsizing her. How glad and how +grateful the relief from this unnatural hallucination of the night, and +the fatal contingency of being brought by the lee! + +Look not too long in the face of the fire, O man! Never dream with thy +hand on the helm! Turn not thy back to the compass; accept the first +hint of the hitching tiller; believe not the artificial fire, when its +redness makes all things look ghastly. To-morrow, in the natural sun, +the skies will be bright; those who glared like devils in the forking +flames, the morn will show in far other, at least gentler, relief; the +glorious, golden, glad sun, the only true lampall others but liars! + +Nevertheless the sun hides not Virginias Dismal Swamp, nor Romes +accursed Campagna, nor wide Sahara, nor all the millions of miles of +deserts and of griefs beneath the moon. The sun hides not the ocean, +which is the dark side of this earth, and which is two thirds of this +earth. So, therefore, that mortal man who hath more of joy than sorrow +in him, that mortal man cannot be truenot true, or undeveloped. With +books the same. The truest of all men was the Man of Sorrows, and the +truest of all books is Solomons, and Ecclesiastes is the fine hammered +steel of woe. All is vanity. ALL. This wilful world hath not got hold +of unchristian Solomons wisdom yet. But he who dodges hospitals and +jails, and walks fast crossing graveyards, and would rather talk of +operas than hell; calls Cowper, Young, Pascal, Rousseau, poor devils +all of sick men; and throughout a care-free lifetime swears by Rabelais +as passing wise, and therefore jolly;not that man is fitted to sit +down on tomb-stones, and break the green damp mould with unfathomably +wondrous Solomon. + +But even Solomon, he says, the man that wandereth out of the way of +understanding shall remain (_i.e._, even while living) in the +congregation of the dead. Give not thyself up, then, to fire, lest it +invert thee, deaden thee; as for the time it did me. There is a wisdom +that is woe; but there is a woe that is madness. And there is a +Catskill eagle in some souls that can alike dive down into the blackest +gorges, and soar out of them again and become invisible in the sunny +spaces. And even if he for ever flies within the gorge, that gorge is +in the mountains; so that even in his lowest swoop the mountain eagle +is still higher than other birds upon the plain, even though they soar. + + +CHAPTER 97. The Lamp. + +Had you descended from the Pequods try-works to the Pequods +forecastle, where the off duty watch were sleeping, for one single +moment you would have almost thought you were standing in some +illuminated shrine of canonized kings and counsellors. There they lay +in their triangular oaken vaults, each mariner a chiselled muteness; a +score of lamps flashing upon his hooded eyes. + +In merchantmen, oil for the sailor is more scarce than the milk of +queens. To dress in the dark, and eat in the dark, and stumble in +darkness to his pallet, this is his usual lot. But the whaleman, as he +seeks the food of light, so he lives in light. He makes his berth an +Aladdins lamp, and lays him down in it; so that in the pitchiest night +the ships black hull still houses an illumination. + +See with what entire freedom the whaleman takes his handful of +lampsoften but old bottles and vials, thoughto the copper cooler at +the try-works, and replenishes them there, as mugs of ale at a vat. He +burns, too, the purest of oil, in its unmanufactured, and, therefore, +unvitiated state; a fluid unknown to solar, lunar, or astral +contrivances ashore. It is sweet as early grass butter in April. He +goes and hunts for his oil, so as to be sure of its freshness and +genuineness, even as the traveller on the prairie hunts up his own +supper of game. + + +CHAPTER 98. Stowing Down and Clearing Up. + +Already has it been related how the great leviathan is afar off +descried from the mast-head; how he is chased over the watery moors, +and slaughtered in the valleys of the deep; how he is then towed +alongside and beheaded; and how (on the principle which entitled the +headsman of old to the garments in which the beheaded was killed) his +great padded surtout becomes the property of his executioner; how, in +due time, he is condemned to the pots, and, like Shadrach, Meshach, and +Abednego, his spermaceti, oil, and bone pass unscathed through the +fire;but now it remains to conclude the last chapter of this part of +the description by rehearsingsinging, if I maythe romantic proceeding +of decanting off his oil into the casks and striking them down into the +hold, where once again leviathan returns to his native profundities, +sliding along beneath the surface as before; but, alas! never more to +rise and blow. + +While still warm, the oil, like hot punch, is received into the +six-barrel casks; and while, perhaps, the ship is pitching and rolling +this way and that in the midnight sea, the enormous casks are slewed +round and headed over, end for end, and sometimes perilously scoot +across the slippery deck, like so many land slides, till at last +man-handled and stayed in their course; and all round the hoops, rap, +rap, go as many hammers as can play upon them, for now, _ex officio_, +every sailor is a cooper. + +At length, when the last pint is casked, and all is cool, then the +great hatchways are unsealed, the bowels of the ship are thrown open, +and down go the casks to their final rest in the sea. This done, the +hatches are replaced, and hermetically closed, like a closet walled up. + +In the sperm fishery, this is perhaps one of the most remarkable +incidents in all the business of whaling. One day the planks stream +with freshets of blood and oil; on the sacred quarter-deck enormous +masses of the whales head are profanely piled; great rusty casks lie +about, as in a brewery yard; the smoke from the try-works has besooted +all the bulwarks; the mariners go about suffused with unctuousness; the +entire ship seems great leviathan himself; while on all hands the din +is deafening. + +But a day or two after, you look about you, and prick your ears in this +self-same ship; and were it not for the tell-tale boats and try-works, +you would all but swear you trod some silent merchant vessel, with a +most scrupulously neat commander. The unmanufactured sperm oil +possesses a singularly cleansing virtue. This is the reason why the +decks never look so white as just after what they call an affair of +oil. Besides, from the ashes of the burned scraps of the whale, a +potent lye is readily made; and whenever any adhesiveness from the back +of the whale remains clinging to the side, that lye quickly +exterminates it. Hands go diligently along the bulwarks, and with +buckets of water and rags restore them to their full tidiness. The soot +is brushed from the lower rigging. All the numerous implements which +have been in use are likewise faithfully cleansed and put away. The +great hatch is scrubbed and placed upon the try-works, completely +hiding the pots; every cask is out of sight; all tackles are coiled in +unseen nooks; and when by the combined and simultaneous industry of +almost the entire ships company, the whole of this conscientious duty +is at last concluded, then the crew themselves proceed to their own +ablutions; shift themselves from top to toe; and finally issue to the +immaculate deck, fresh and all aglow, as bridegrooms new-leaped from +out the daintiest Holland. + +Now, with elated step, they pace the planks in twos and threes, and +humorously discourse of parlors, sofas, carpets, and fine cambrics; +propose to mat the deck; think of having hanging to the top; object not +to taking tea by moonlight on the piazza of the forecastle. To hint to +such musked mariners of oil, and bone, and blubber, were little short +of audacity. They know not the thing you distantly allude to. Away, and +bring us napkins! + +But mark: aloft there, at the three mast heads, stand three men intent +on spying out more whales, which, if caught, infallibly will again soil +the old oaken furniture, and drop at least one small grease-spot +somewhere. Yes; and many is the time, when, after the severest +uninterrupted labors, which know no night; continuing straight through +for ninety-six hours; when from the boat, where they have swelled their +wrists with all day rowing on the Line,they only step to the deck to +carry vast chains, and heave the heavy windlass, and cut and slash, +yea, and in their very sweatings to be smoked and burned anew by the +combined fires of the equatorial sun and the equatorial try-works; +when, on the heel of all this, they have finally bestirred themselves +to cleanse the ship, and make a spotless dairy room of it; many is the +time the poor fellows, just buttoning the necks of their clean frocks, +are startled by the cry of There she blows! and away they fly to +fight another whale, and go through the whole weary thing again. Oh! my +friends, but this is man-killing! Yet this is life. For hardly have we +mortals by long toilings extracted from this worlds vast bulk its +small but valuable sperm; and then, with weary patience, cleansed +ourselves from its defilements, and learned to live here in clean +tabernacles of the soul; hardly is this done, when_There she +blows!_the ghost is spouted up, and away we sail to fight some other +world, and go through young lifes old routine again. + +Oh! the metempsychosis! Oh! Pythagoras, that in bright Greece, two +thousand years ago, did die, so good, so wise, so mild; I sailed with +thee along the Peruvian coast last voyageand, foolish as I am, taught +thee, a green simple boy, how to splice a rope! + + +CHAPTER 99. The Doubloon. + +Ere now it has been related how Ahab was wont to pace his quarter-deck, +taking regular turns at either limit, the binnacle and mainmast; but in +the multiplicity of other things requiring narration it has not been +added how that sometimes in these walks, when most plunged in his mood, +he was wont to pause in turn at each spot, and stand there strangely +eyeing the particular object before him. When he halted before the +binnacle, with his glance fastened on the pointed needle in the +compass, that glance shot like a javelin with the pointed intensity of +his purpose; and when resuming his walk he again paused before the +mainmast, then, as the same riveted glance fastened upon the riveted +gold coin there, he still wore the same aspect of nailed firmness, only +dashed with a certain wild longing, if not hopefulness. + +But one morning, turning to pass the doubloon, he seemed to be newly +attracted by the strange figures and inscriptions stamped on it, as +though now for the first time beginning to interpret for himself in +some monomaniac way whatever significance might lurk in them. And some +certain significance lurks in all things, else all things are little +worth, and the round world itself but an empty cipher, except to sell +by the cartload, as they do hills about Boston, to fill up some morass +in the Milky Way. + +Now this doubloon was of purest, virgin gold, raked somewhere out of +the heart of gorgeous hills, whence, east and west, over golden sands, +the head-waters of many a Pactolus flows. And though now nailed amidst +all the rustiness of iron bolts and the verdigris of copper spikes, +yet, untouchable and immaculate to any foulness, it still preserved its +Quito glow. Nor, though placed amongst a ruthless crew and every hour +passed by ruthless hands, and through the livelong nights shrouded with +thick darkness which might cover any pilfering approach, nevertheless +every sunrise found the doubloon where the sunset left it last. For it +was set apart and sanctified to one awe-striking end; and however +wanton in their sailor ways, one and all, the mariners revered it as +the white whales talisman. Sometimes they talked it over in the weary +watch by night, wondering whose it was to be at last, and whether he +would ever live to spend it. + +Now those noble golden coins of South America are as medals of the sun +and tropic token-pieces. Here palms, alpacas, and volcanoes; suns +disks and stars; ecliptics, horns-of-plenty, and rich banners waving, +are in luxuriant profusion stamped; so that the precious gold seems +almost to derive an added preciousness and enhancing glories, by +passing through those fancy mints, so Spanishly poetic. + +It so chanced that the doubloon of the Pequod was a most wealthy +example of these things. On its round border it bore the letters, +REPUBLICA DEL ECUADOR: QUITO. So this bright coin came from a country +planted in the middle of the world, and beneath the great equator, and +named after it; and it had been cast midway up the Andes, in the +unwaning clime that knows no autumn. Zoned by those letters you saw the +likeness of three Andes summits; from one a flame; a tower on another; +on the third a crowing cock; while arching over all was a segment of +the partitioned zodiac, the signs all marked with their usual +cabalistics, and the keystone sun entering the equinoctial point at +Libra. + +Before this equatorial coin, Ahab, not unobserved by others, was now +pausing. + +Theres something ever egotistical in mountain-tops and towers, and +all other grand and lofty things; look here,three peaks as proud as +Lucifer. The firm tower, that is Ahab; the volcano, that is Ahab; the +courageous, the undaunted, and victorious fowl, that, too, is Ahab; all +are Ahab; and this round gold is but the image of the rounder globe, +which, like a magicians glass, to each and every man in turn but +mirrors back his own mysterious self. Great pains, small gains for +those who ask the world to solve them; it cannot solve itself. Methinks +now this coined sun wears a ruddy face; but see! aye, he enters the +sign of storms, the equinox! and but six months before he wheeled out +of a former equinox at Aries! From storm to storm! So be it, then. Born +in throes, tis fit that man should live in pains and die in pangs! So +be it, then! Heres stout stuff for woe to work on. So be it, then. + +No fairy fingers can have pressed the gold, but devils claws must +have left their mouldings there since yesterday, murmured Starbuck to +himself, leaning against the bulwarks. The old man seems to read +Belshazzars awful writing. I have never marked the coin inspectingly. +He goes below; let me read. A dark valley between three mighty, +heaven-abiding peaks, that almost seem the Trinity, in some faint +earthly symbol. So in this vale of Death, God girds us round; and over +all our gloom, the sun of Righteousness still shines a beacon and a +hope. If we bend down our eyes, the dark vale shows her mouldy soil; +but if we lift them, the bright sun meets our glance half way, to +cheer. Yet, oh, the great sun is no fixture; and if, at midnight, we +would fain snatch some sweet solace from him, we gaze for him in vain! +This coin speaks wisely, mildly, truly, but still sadly to me. I will +quit it, lest Truth shake me falsely. + +There nows the old Mogul, soliloquized Stubb by the try-works, hes +been twigging it; and there goes Starbuck from the same, and both with +faces which I should say might be somewhere within nine fathoms long. +And all from looking at a piece of gold, which did I have it now on +Negro Hill or in Corlaers Hook, Id not look at it very long ere +spending it. Humph! in my poor, insignificant opinion, I regard this as +queer. I have seen doubloons before now in my voyagings; your doubloons +of old Spain, your doubloons of Peru, your doubloons of Chili, your +doubloons of Bolivia, your doubloons of Popayan; with plenty of gold +moidores and pistoles, and joes, and half joes, and quarter joes. What +then should there be in this doubloon of the Equator that is so killing +wonderful? By Golconda! let me read it once. Halloa! heres signs and +wonders truly! That, now, is what old Bowditch in his Epitome calls the +zodiac, and what my almanac below calls ditto. Ill get the almanac and +as I have heard devils can be raised with Dabolls arithmetic, Ill try +my hand at raising a meaning out of these queer curvicues here with the +Massachusetts calendar. Heres the book. Lets see now. Signs and +wonders; and the sun, hes always among em. Hem, hem, hem; here they +arehere they goall alive:Aries, or the Ram; Taurus, or the Bull and +Jimimi! heres Gemini himself, or the Twins. Well; the sun he wheels +among em. Aye, here on the coin hes just crossing the threshold +between two of twelve sitting-rooms all in a ring. Book! you lie there; +the fact is, you books must know your places. Youll do to give us the +bare words and facts, but we come in to supply the thoughts. Thats my +small experience, so far as the Massachusetts calendar, and Bowditchs +navigator, and Dabolls arithmetic go. Signs and wonders, eh? Pity if +there is nothing wonderful in signs, and significant in wonders! +Theres a clue somewhere; wait a bit; histhark! By Jove, I have it! +Look you, Doubloon, your zodiac here is the life of man in one round +chapter; and now Ill read it off, straight out of the book. Come, +Almanack! To begin: theres Aries, or the Ramlecherous dog, he begets +us; then, Taurus, or the Bullhe bumps us the first thing; then Gemini, +or the Twinsthat is, Virtue and Vice; we try to reach Virtue, when lo! +comes Cancer the Crab, and drags us back; and here, going from Virtue, +Leo, a roaring Lion, lies in the pathhe gives a few fierce bites and +surly dabs with his paw; we escape, and hail Virgo, the Virgin! thats +our first love; we marry and think to be happy for aye, when pop comes +Libra, or the Scaleshappiness weighed and found wanting; and while we +are very sad about that, Lord! how we suddenly jump, as Scorpio, or the +Scorpion, stings us in the rear; we are curing the wound, when whang +come the arrows all round; Sagittarius, or the Archer, is amusing +himself. As we pluck out the shafts, stand aside! heres the +battering-ram, Capricornus, or the Goat; full tilt, he comes rushing, +and headlong we are tossed; when Aquarius, or the Water-bearer, pours +out his whole deluge and drowns us; and to wind up with Pisces, or the +Fishes, we sleep. Theres a sermon now, writ in high heaven, and the +sun goes through it every year, and yet comes out of it all alive and +hearty. Jollily he, aloft there, wheels through toil and trouble; and +so, alow here, does jolly Stubb. Oh, jollys the word for aye! Adieu, +Doubloon! But stop; here comes little King-Post; dodge round the +try-works, now, and lets hear what hell have to say. There; hes +before it; hell out with something presently. So, so; hes beginning. + +I see nothing here, but a round thing made of gold, and whoever raises +a certain whale, this round thing belongs to him. So, whats all this +staring been about? It is worth sixteen dollars, thats true; and at +two cents the cigar, thats nine hundred and sixty cigars. I wont +smoke dirty pipes like Stubb, but I like cigars, and heres nine +hundred and sixty of them; so here goes Flask aloft to spy em out. + +Shall I call that wise or foolish, now; if it be really wise it has a +foolish look to it; yet, if it be really foolish, then has it a sort of +wiseish look to it. But, avast; here comes our old Manxmanthe old +hearse-driver, he must have been, that is, before he took to the sea. +He luffs up before the doubloon; halloa, and goes round on the other +side of the mast; why, theres a horse-shoe nailed on that side; and +now hes back again; what does that mean? Hark! hes mutteringvoice +like an old worn-out coffee-mill. Prick ears, and listen! + +If the White Whale be raised, it must be in a month and a day, when +the sun stands in some one of these signs. Ive studied signs, and know +their marks; they were taught me two score years ago, by the old witch +in Copenhagen. Now, in what sign will the sun then be? The horse-shoe +sign; for there it is, right opposite the gold. And whats the +horse-shoe sign? The lion is the horse-shoe signthe roaring and +devouring lion. Ship, old ship! my old head shakes to think of thee. + +Theres another rendering now; but still one text. All sorts of men in +one kind of world, you see. Dodge again! here comes Queequegall +tattooinglooks like the signs of the Zodiac himself. What says the +Cannibal? As I live hes comparing notes; looking at his thigh bone; +thinks the sun is in the thigh, or in the calf, or in the bowels, I +suppose, as the old women talk Surgeons Astronomy in the back country. +And by Jove, hes found something there in the vicinity of his thighI +guess its Sagittarius, or the Archer. No: he dont know what to make +of the doubloon; he takes it for an old button off some kings +trowsers. But, aside again! here comes that ghost-devil, Fedallah; tail +coiled out of sight as usual, oakum in the toes of his pumps as usual. +What does he say, with that look of his? Ah, only makes a sign to the +sign and bows himself; there is a sun on the coinfire worshipper, +depend upon it. Ho! more and more. This way comes Pippoor boy! would +he had died, or I; hes half horrible to me. He too has been watching +all of these interpretersmyself includedand look now, he comes to +read, with that unearthly idiot face. Stand away again and hear him. +Hark! + +I look, you look, he looks; we look, ye look, they look. + +Upon my soul, hes been studying Murrays Grammar! Improving his mind, +poor fellow! But whats that he says nowhist! + +I look, you look, he looks; we look, ye look, they look. + +Why, hes getting it by hearthist! again. + +I look, you look, he looks; we look, ye look, they look. + +Well, thats funny. + +And I, you, and he; and we, ye, and they, are all bats; and Im a +crow, especially when I stand atop of this pine tree here. Caw! caw! +caw! caw! caw! caw! Aint I a crow? And wheres the scare-crow? There +he stands; two bones stuck into a pair of old trowsers, and two more +poked into the sleeves of an old jacket. + +Wonder if he means me?complimentary!poor lad!I could go hang +myself. Any way, for the present, Ill quit Pips vicinity. I can stand +the rest, for they have plain wits; but hes too crazy-witty for my +sanity. So, so, I leave him muttering. + +Heres the ships navel, this doubloon here, and they are all on fire +to unscrew it. But, unscrew your navel, and whats the consequence? +Then again, if it stays here, that is ugly, too, for when aughts +nailed to the mast its a sign that things grow desperate. Ha, ha! old +Ahab! the White Whale; hell nail ye! This is a pine tree. My father, +in old Tolland county, cut down a pine tree once, and found a silver +ring grown over in it; some old darkeys wedding ring. How did it get +there? And so theyll say in the resurrection, when they come to fish +up this old mast, and find a doubloon lodged in it, with bedded oysters +for the shaggy bark. Oh, the gold! the precious, precious, gold! the +green miserll hoard ye soon! Hish! hish! God goes mong the worlds +blackberrying. Cook! ho, cook! and cook us! Jenny! hey, hey, hey, hey, +hey, Jenny, Jenny! and get your hoe-cake done! + + +CHAPTER 100. Leg and Arm. + +The Pequod, of Nantucket, Meets the Samuel Enderby, of London. + +Ship, ahoy! Hast seen the White Whale? + +So cried Ahab, once more hailing a ship showing English colours, +bearing down under the stern. Trumpet to mouth, the old man was +standing in his hoisted quarter-boat, his ivory leg plainly revealed to +the stranger captain, who was carelessly reclining in his own boats +bow. He was a darkly-tanned, burly, good-natured, fine-looking man, of +sixty or thereabouts, dressed in a spacious roundabout, that hung round +him in festoons of blue pilot-cloth; and one empty arm of this jacket +streamed behind him like the broidered arm of a hussars surcoat. + +Hast seen the White Whale? + +See you this? and withdrawing it from the folds that had hidden it, +he held up a white arm of sperm whale bone, terminating in a wooden +head like a mallet. + +Man my boat! cried Ahab, impetuously, and tossing about the oars near +himStand by to lower! + +In less than a minute, without quitting his little craft, he and his +crew were dropped to the water, and were soon alongside of the +stranger. But here a curious difficulty presented itself. In the +excitement of the moment, Ahab had forgotten that since the loss of his +leg he had never once stepped on board of any vessel at sea but his +own, and then it was always by an ingenious and very handy mechanical +contrivance peculiar to the Pequod, and a thing not to be rigged and +shipped in any other vessel at a moments warning. Now, it is no very +easy matter for anybodyexcept those who are almost hourly used to it, +like whalemento clamber up a ships side from a boat on the open sea; +for the great swells now lift the boat high up towards the bulwarks, +and then instantaneously drop it half way down to the kelson. So, +deprived of one leg, and the strange ship of course being altogether +unsupplied with the kindly invention, Ahab now found himself abjectly +reduced to a clumsy landsman again; hopelessly eyeing the uncertain +changeful height he could hardly hope to attain. + +It has before been hinted, perhaps, that every little untoward +circumstance that befell him, and which indirectly sprang from his +luckless mishap, almost invariably irritated or exasperated Ahab. And +in the present instance, all this was heightened by the sight of the +two officers of the strange ship, leaning over the side, by the +perpendicular ladder of nailed cleets there, and swinging towards him a +pair of tastefully-ornamented man-ropes; for at first they did not seem +to bethink them that a one-legged man must be too much of a cripple to +use their sea bannisters. But this awkwardness only lasted a minute, +because the strange captain, observing at a glance how affairs stood, +cried out, I see, I see!avast heaving there! Jump, boys, and swing +over the cutting-tackle. + +As good luck would have it, they had had a whale alongside a day or two +previous, and the great tackles were still aloft, and the massive +curved blubber-hook, now clean and dry, was still attached to the end. +This was quickly lowered to Ahab, who at once comprehending it all, +slid his solitary thigh into the curve of the hook (it was like sitting +in the fluke of an anchor, or the crotch of an apple tree), and then +giving the word, held himself fast, and at the same time also helped to +hoist his own weight, by pulling hand-over-hand upon one of the running +parts of the tackle. Soon he was carefully swung inside the high +bulwarks, and gently landed upon the capstan head. With his ivory arm +frankly thrust forth in welcome, the other captain advanced, and Ahab, +putting out his ivory leg, and crossing the ivory arm (like two +sword-fish blades) cried out in his walrus way, Aye, aye, hearty! let +us shake bones together!an arm and a leg!an arm that never can +shrink, dye see; and a leg that never can run. Where didst thou see +the White Whale?how long ago? + +The White Whale, said the Englishman, pointing his ivory arm towards +the East, and taking a rueful sight along it, as if it had been a +telescope; there I saw him, on the Line, last season. + +And he took that arm off, did he? asked Ahab, now sliding down from +the capstan, and resting on the Englishmans shoulder, as he did so. + +Aye, he was the cause of it, at least; and that leg, too? + +Spin me the yarn, said Ahab; how was it? + +It was the first time in my life that I ever cruised on the Line, +began the Englishman. I was ignorant of the White Whale at that time. +Well, one day we lowered for a pod of four or five whales, and my boat +fastened to one of them; a regular circus horse he was, too, that went +milling and milling round so, that my boats crew could only trim dish, +by sitting all their sterns on the outer gunwale. Presently up breaches +from the bottom of the sea a bouncing great whale, with a milky-white +head and hump, all crows feet and wrinkles. + +It was he, it was he! cried Ahab, suddenly letting out his suspended +breath. + +And harpoons sticking in near his starboard fin. + +Aye, ayethey were mine_my_ irons, cried Ahab, exultinglybut on! + +Give me a chance, then, said the Englishman, good-humoredly. Well, +this old great-grandfather, with the white head and hump, runs all +afoam into the pod, and goes to snapping furiously at my fast-line! + +Aye, I see!wanted to part it; free the fast-fishan old trickI know +him. + +How it was exactly, continued the one-armed commander, I do not +know; but in biting the line, it got foul of his teeth, caught there +somehow; but we didnt know it then; so that when we afterwards pulled +on the line, bounce we came plump on to his hump! instead of the other +whales; that went off to windward, all fluking. Seeing how matters +stood, and what a noble great whale it wasthe noblest and biggest I +ever saw, sir, in my lifeI resolved to capture him, spite of the +boiling rage he seemed to be in. And thinking the hap-hazard line would +get loose, or the tooth it was tangled to might draw (for I have a +devil of a boats crew for a pull on a whale-line); seeing all this, I +say, I jumped into my first mates boatMr. Mounttops here (by the +way, CaptainMounttop; Mounttopthe captain);as I was saying, I jumped +into Mounttops boat, which, dye see, was gunwale and gunwale with +mine, then; and snatching the first harpoon, let this old +great-grandfather have it. But, Lord, look you, sirhearts and souls +alive, manthe next instant, in a jiff, I was blind as a batboth eyes +outall befogged and bedeadened with black foamthe whales tail +looming straight up out of it, perpendicular in the air, like a marble +steeple. No use sterning all, then; but as I was groping at midday, +with a blinding sun, all crown-jewels; as I was groping, I say, after +the second iron, to toss it overboarddown comes the tail like a Lima +tower, cutting my boat in two, leaving each half in splinters; and, +flukes first, the white hump backed through the wreck, as though it was +all chips. We all struck out. To escape his terrible flailings, I +seized hold of my harpoon-pole sticking in him, and for a moment clung +to that like a sucking fish. But a combing sea dashed me off, and at +the same instant, the fish, taking one good dart forwards, went down +like a flash; and the barb of that cursed second iron towing along near +me caught me here (clapping his hand just below his shoulder); yes, +caught me just here, I say, and bore me down to Hells flames, I was +thinking; when, when, all of a sudden, thank the good God, the barb +ript its way along the fleshclear along the whole length of my +armcame out nigh my wrist, and up I floated;and that gentleman there +will tell you the rest (by the way, captainDr. Bunger, ships surgeon: +Bunger, my lad,the captain). Now, Bunger boy, spin your part of the +yarn. + +The professional gentleman thus familiarly pointed out, had been all +the time standing near them, with nothing specific visible, to denote +his gentlemanly rank on board. His face was an exceedingly round but +sober one; he was dressed in a faded blue woollen frock or shirt, and +patched trowsers; and had thus far been dividing his attention between +a marlingspike he held in one hand, and a pill-box held in the other, +occasionally casting a critical glance at the ivory limbs of the two +crippled captains. But, at his superiors introduction of him to Ahab, +he politely bowed, and straightway went on to do his captains bidding. + +It was a shocking bad wound, began the whale-surgeon; and, taking my +advice, Captain Boomer here, stood our old Sammy + +Samuel Enderby is the name of my ship, interrupted the one-armed +captain, addressing Ahab; go on, boy. + +Stood our old Sammy off to the northward, to get out of the blazing +hot weather there on the Line. But it was no useI did all I could; sat +up with him nights; was very severe with him in the matter of diet + +Oh, very severe! chimed in the patient himself; then suddenly +altering his voice, Drinking hot rum toddies with me every night, till +he couldnt see to put on the bandages; and sending me to bed, half +seas over, about three oclock in the morning. Oh, ye stars! he sat up +with me indeed, and was very severe in my diet. Oh! a great watcher, +and very dietetically severe, is Dr. Bunger. (Bunger, you dog, laugh +out! why dont ye? You know youre a precious jolly rascal.) But, heave +ahead, boy, Id rather be killed by you than kept alive by any other +man. + +My captain, you must have ere this perceived, respected sirsaid the +imperturbable godly-looking Bunger, slightly bowing to Ahabis apt to +be facetious at times; he spins us many clever things of that sort. But +I may as well sayen passant, as the French remarkthat I myselfthat +is to say, Jack Bunger, late of the reverend clergyam a strict total +abstinence man; I never drink + +Water! cried the captain; he never drinks it; its a sort of fits to +him; fresh water throws him into the hydrophobia; but go ongo on with +the arm story. + +Yes, I may as well, said the surgeon, coolly. I was about observing, +sir, before Captain Boomers facetious interruption, that spite of my +best and severest endeavors, the wound kept getting worse and worse; +the truth was, sir, it was as ugly gaping wound as surgeon ever saw; +more than two feet and several inches long. I measured it with the lead +line. In short, it grew black; I knew what was threatened, and off it +came. But I had no hand in shipping that ivory arm there; that thing is +against all rulepointing at it with the marlingspikethat is the +captains work, not mine; he ordered the carpenter to make it; he had +that club-hammer there put to the end, to knock some ones brains out +with, I suppose, as he tried mine once. He flies into diabolical +passions sometimes. Do ye see this dent, sirremoving his hat, and +brushing aside his hair, and exposing a bowl-like cavity in his skull, +but which bore not the slightest scarry trace, or any token of ever +having been a woundWell, the captain there will tell you how that +came here; he knows. + +No, I dont, said the captain, but his mother did; he was born with +it. Oh, you solemn rogue, youyou Bunger! was there ever such another +Bunger in the watery world? Bunger, when you die, you ought to die in +pickle, you dog; you should be preserved to future ages, you rascal. + +What became of the White Whale? now cried Ahab, who thus far had been +impatiently listening to this by-play between the two Englishmen. + +Oh! cried the one-armed captain, oh, yes! Well; after he sounded, we +didnt see him again for some time; in fact, as I before hinted, I +didnt then know what whale it was that had served me such a trick, +till some time afterwards, when coming back to the Line, we heard about +Moby Dickas some call himand then I knew it was he. + +Didst thou cross his wake again? + +Twice. + +But could not fasten? + +Didnt want to try to: aint one limb enough? What should I do without +this other arm? And Im thinking Moby Dick doesnt bite so much as he +swallows. + +Well, then, interrupted Bunger, give him your left arm for bait to +get the right. Do you know, gentlemenvery gravely and mathematically +bowing to each Captain in successionDo you know, gentlemen, that the +digestive organs of the whale are so inscrutably constructed by Divine +Providence, that it is quite impossible for him to completely digest +even a mans arm? And he knows it too. So that what you take for the +White Whales malice is only his awkwardness. For he never means to +swallow a single limb; he only thinks to terrify by feints. But +sometimes he is like the old juggling fellow, formerly a patient of +mine in Ceylon, that making believe swallow jack-knives, once upon a +time let one drop into him in good earnest, and there it stayed for a +twelvemonth or more; when I gave him an emetic, and he heaved it up in +small tacks, dye see. No possible way for him to digest that +jack-knife, and fully incorporate it into his general bodily system. +Yes, Captain Boomer, if you are quick enough about it, and have a mind +to pawn one arm for the sake of the privilege of giving decent burial +to the other, why in that case the arm is yours; only let the whale +have another chance at you shortly, thats all. + +No, thank ye, Bunger, said the English Captain, hes welcome to the +arm he has, since I cant help it, and didnt know him then; but not to +another one. No more White Whales for me; Ive lowered for him once, +and that has satisfied me. There would be great glory in killing him, I +know that; and there is a ship-load of precious sperm in him, but, hark +ye, hes best let alone; dont you think so, Captain?glancing at the +ivory leg. + +He is. But he will still be hunted, for all that. What is best let +alone, that accursed thing is not always what least allures. Hes all a +magnet! How long since thou sawst him last? Which way heading? + +Bless my soul, and curse the foul fiends, cried Bunger, stoopingly +walking round Ahab, and like a dog, strangely snuffing; this mans +bloodbring the thermometer!its at the boiling point!his pulse makes +these planks beat!sir!taking a lancet from his pocket, and drawing +near to Ahabs arm. + +Avast! roared Ahab, dashing him against the bulwarksMan the boat! +Which way heading? + +Good God! cried the English Captain, to whom the question was put. +Whats the matter? He was heading east, I think.Is your Captain +crazy? whispering Fedallah. + +But Fedallah, putting a finger on his lip, slid over the bulwarks to +take the boats steering oar, and Ahab, swinging the cutting-tackle +towards him, commanded the ships sailors to stand by to lower. + +In a moment he was standing in the boats stern, and the Manilla men +were springing to their oars. In vain the English Captain hailed him. +With back to the stranger ship, and face set like a flint to his own, +Ahab stood upright till alongside of the Pequod. + + +CHAPTER 101. The Decanter. + +Ere the English ship fades from sight, be it set down here, that she +hailed from London, and was named after the late Samuel Enderby, +merchant of that city, the original of the famous whaling house of +Enderby & Sons; a house which in my poor whalemans opinion, comes not +far behind the united royal houses of the Tudors and Bourbons, in point +of real historical interest. How long, prior to the year of our Lord +1775, this great whaling house was in existence, my numerous +fish-documents do not make plain; but in that year (1775) it fitted out +the first English ships that ever regularly hunted the Sperm Whale; +though for some score of years previous (ever since 1726) our valiant +Coffins and Maceys of Nantucket and the Vineyard had in large fleets +pursued that Leviathan, but only in the North and South Atlantic: not +elsewhere. Be it distinctly recorded here, that the Nantucketers were +the first among mankind to harpoon with civilized steel the great Sperm +Whale; and that for half a century they were the only people of the +whole globe who so harpooned him. + +In 1778, a fine ship, the Amelia, fitted out for the express purpose, +and at the sole charge of the vigorous Enderbys, boldly rounded Cape +Horn, and was the first among the nations to lower a whale-boat of any +sort in the great South Sea. The voyage was a skilful and lucky one; +and returning to her berth with her hold full of the precious sperm, +the Amelias example was soon followed by other ships, English and +American, and thus the vast Sperm Whale grounds of the Pacific were +thrown open. But not content with this good deed, the indefatigable +house again bestirred itself: Samuel and all his Sonshow many, their +mother only knowsand under their immediate auspices, and partly, I +think, at their expense, the British government was induced to send the +sloop-of-war Rattler on a whaling voyage of discovery into the South +Sea. Commanded by a naval Post-Captain, the Rattler made a rattling +voyage of it, and did some service; how much does not appear. But this +is not all. In 1819, the same house fitted out a discovery whale ship +of their own, to go on a tasting cruise to the remote waters of Japan. +That shipwell called the Syrenmade a noble experimental cruise; and +it was thus that the great Japanese Whaling Ground first became +generally known. The Syren in this famous voyage was commanded by a +Captain Coffin, a Nantucketer. + +All honor to the Enderbies, therefore, whose house, I think, exists to +the present day; though doubtless the original Samuel must long ago +have slipped his cable for the great South Sea of the other world. + +The ship named after him was worthy of the honor, being a very fast +sailer and a noble craft every way. I boarded her once at midnight +somewhere off the Patagonian coast, and drank good flip down in the +forecastle. It was a fine gam we had, and they were all trumpsevery +soul on board. A short life to them, and a jolly death. And that fine +gam I hadlong, very long after old Ahab touched her planks with his +ivory heelit minds me of the noble, solid, Saxon hospitality of that +ship; and may my parson forget me, and the devil remember me, if I ever +lose sight of it. Flip? Did I say we had flip? Yes, and we flipped it +at the rate of ten gallons the hour; and when the squall came (for its +squally off there by Patagonia), and all handsvisitors and allwere +called to reef topsails, we were so top-heavy that we had to swing each +other aloft in bowlines; and we ignorantly furled the skirts of our +jackets into the sails, so that we hung there, reefed fast in the +howling gale, a warning example to all drunken tars. However, the masts +did not go overboard; and by and by we scrambled down, so sober, that +we had to pass the flip again, though the savage salt spray bursting +down the forecastle scuttle, rather too much diluted and pickled it to +my taste. + +The beef was finetough, but with body in it. They said it was +bull-beef; others, that it was dromedary beef; but I do not know, for +certain, how that was. They had dumplings too; small, but substantial, +symmetrically globular, and indestructible dumplings. I fancied that +you could feel them, and roll them about in you after they were +swallowed. If you stooped over too far forward, you risked their +pitching out of you like billiard-balls. The breadbut that couldnt be +helped; besides, it was an anti-scorbutic; in short, the bread +contained the only fresh fare they had. But the forecastle was not very +light, and it was very easy to step over into a dark corner when you +ate it. But all in all, taking her from truck to helm, considering the +dimensions of the cooks boilers, including his own live parchment +boilers; fore and aft, I say, the Samuel Enderby was a jolly ship; of +good fare and plenty; fine flip and strong; crack fellows all, and +capital from boot heels to hat-band. + +But why was it, think ye, that the Samuel Enderby, and some other +English whalers I know ofnot all thoughwere such famous, hospitable +ships; that passed round the beef, and the bread, and the can, and the +joke; and were not soon weary of eating, and drinking, and laughing? I +will tell you. The abounding good cheer of these English whalers is +matter for historical research. Nor have I been at all sparing of +historical whale research, when it has seemed needed. + +The English were preceded in the whale fishery by the Hollanders, +Zealanders, and Danes; from whom they derived many terms still extant +in the fishery; and what is yet more, their fat old fashions, touching +plenty to eat and drink. For, as a general thing, the English +merchant-ship scrimps her crew; but not so the English whaler. Hence, +in the English, this thing of whaling good cheer is not normal and +natural, but incidental and particular; and, therefore, must have some +special origin, which is here pointed out, and will be still further +elucidated. + +During my researches in the Leviathanic histories, I stumbled upon an +ancient Dutch volume, which, by the musty whaling smell of it, I knew +must be about whalers. The title was, Dan Coopman, wherefore I +concluded that this must be the invaluable memoirs of some Amsterdam +cooper in the fishery, as every whale ship must carry its cooper. I was +reinforced in this opinion by seeing that it was the production of one +Fitz Swackhammer. But my friend Dr. Snodhead, a very learned man, +professor of Low Dutch and High German in the college of Santa Claus +and St. Potts, to whom I handed the work for translation, giving him a +box of sperm candles for his troublethis same Dr. Snodhead, so soon as +he spied the book, assured me that Dan Coopman did not mean The +Cooper, but The Merchant. In short, this ancient and learned Low +Dutch book treated of the commerce of Holland; and, among other +subjects, contained a very interesting account of its whale fishery. +And in this chapter it was, headed, Smeer, or Fat, that I found a +long detailed list of the outfits for the larders and cellars of 180 +sail of Dutch whalemen; from which list, as translated by Dr. Snodhead, +I transcribe the following: + +400,000 lbs. of beef. 60,000 lbs. Friesland pork. 150,000 lbs. of stock +fish. 550,000 lbs. of biscuit. 72,000 lbs. of soft bread. 2,800 firkins +of butter. 20,000 lbs. Texel & Leyden cheese. 144,000 lbs. cheese +(probably an inferior article). 550 ankers of Geneva. 10,800 barrels of +beer. + +Most statistical tables are parchingly dry in the reading; not so in +the present case, however, where the reader is flooded with whole +pipes, barrels, quarts, and gills of good gin and good cheer. + +At the time, I devoted three days to the studious digesting of all this +beer, beef, and bread, during which many profound thoughts were +incidentally suggested to me, capable of a transcendental and Platonic +application; and, furthermore, I compiled supplementary tables of my +own, touching the probable quantity of stock-fish, etc., consumed by +every Low Dutch harpooneer in that ancient Greenland and Spitzbergen +whale fishery. In the first place, the amount of butter, and Texel and +Leyden cheese consumed, seems amazing. I impute it, though, to their +naturally unctuous natures, being rendered still more unctuous by the +nature of their vocation, and especially by their pursuing their game +in those frigid Polar Seas, on the very coasts of that Esquimaux +country where the convivial natives pledge each other in bumpers of +train oil. + +The quantity of beer, too, is very large, 10,800 barrels. Now, as those +polar fisheries could only be prosecuted in the short summer of that +climate, so that the whole cruise of one of these Dutch whalemen, +including the short voyage to and from the Spitzbergen sea, did not +much exceed three months, say, and reckoning 30 men to each of their +fleet of 180 sail, we have 5,400 Low Dutch seamen in all; therefore, I +say, we have precisely two barrels of beer per man, for a twelve weeks +allowance, exclusive of his fair proportion of that 550 ankers of gin. +Now, whether these gin and beer harpooneers, so fuddled as one might +fancy them to have been, were the right sort of men to stand up in a +boats head, and take good aim at flying whales; this would seem +somewhat improbable. Yet they did aim at them, and hit them too. But +this was very far North, be it remembered, where beer agrees well with +the constitution; upon the Equator, in our southern fishery, beer would +be apt to make the harpooneer sleepy at the mast-head and boozy in his +boat; and grievous loss might ensue to Nantucket and New Bedford. + +But no more; enough has been said to show that the old Dutch whalers of +two or three centuries ago were high livers; and that the English +whalers have not neglected so excellent an example. For, say they, when +cruising in an empty ship, if you can get nothing better out of the +world, get a good dinner out of it, at least. And this empties the +decanter. + + +CHAPTER 102. A Bower in the Arsacides. + +Hitherto, in descriptively treating of the Sperm Whale, I have chiefly +dwelt upon the marvels of his outer aspect; or separately and in detail +upon some few interior structural features. But to a large and thorough +sweeping comprehension of him, it behooves me now to unbutton him still +further, and untagging the points of his hose, unbuckling his garters, +and casting loose the hooks and the eyes of the joints of his innermost +bones, set him before you in his ultimatum; that is to say, in his +unconditional skeleton. + +But how now, Ishmael? How is it, that you, a mere oarsman in the +fishery, pretend to know aught about the subterranean parts of the +whale? Did erudite Stubb, mounted upon your capstan, deliver lectures +on the anatomy of the Cetacea; and by help of the windlass, hold up a +specimen rib for exhibition? Explain thyself, Ishmael. Can you land a +full-grown whale on your deck for examination, as a cook dishes a +roast-pig? Surely not. A veritable witness have you hitherto been, +Ishmael; but have a care how you seize the privilege of Jonah alone; +the privilege of discoursing upon the joists and beams; the rafters, +ridge-pole, sleepers, and under-pinnings, making up the frame-work of +leviathan; and belike of the tallow-vats, dairy-rooms, butteries, and +cheeseries in his bowels. + +I confess, that since Jonah, few whalemen have penetrated very far +beneath the skin of the adult whale; nevertheless, I have been blessed +with an opportunity to dissect him in miniature. In a ship I belonged +to, a small cub Sperm Whale was once bodily hoisted to the deck for his +poke or bag, to make sheaths for the barbs of the harpoons, and for the +heads of the lances. Think you I let that chance go, without using my +boat-hatchet and jack-knife, and breaking the seal and reading all the +contents of that young cub? + +And as for my exact knowledge of the bones of the leviathan in their +gigantic, full grown development, for that rare knowledge I am indebted +to my late royal friend Tranquo, king of Tranque, one of the Arsacides. +For being at Tranque, years ago, when attached to the trading-ship Dey +of Algiers, I was invited to spend part of the Arsacidean holidays with +the lord of Tranque, at his retired palm villa at Pupella; a sea-side +glen not very far distant from what our sailors called Bamboo-Town, his +capital. + +Among many other fine qualities, my royal friend Tranquo, being gifted +with a devout love for all matters of barbaric vertu, had brought +together in Pupella whatever rare things the more ingenious of his +people could invent; chiefly carved woods of wonderful devices, +chiselled shells, inlaid spears, costly paddles, aromatic canoes; and +all these distributed among whatever natural wonders, the +wonder-freighted, tribute-rendering waves had cast upon his shores. + +Chief among these latter was a great Sperm Whale, which, after an +unusually long raging gale, had been found dead and stranded, with his +head against a cocoa-nut tree, whose plumage-like, tufted droopings +seemed his verdant jet. When the vast body had at last been stripped of +its fathom-deep enfoldings, and the bones become dust dry in the sun, +then the skeleton was carefully transported up the Pupella glen, where +a grand temple of lordly palms now sheltered it. + +The ribs were hung with trophies; the vertebr were carved with +Arsacidean annals, in strange hieroglyphics; in the skull, the priests +kept up an unextinguished aromatic flame, so that the mystic head again +sent forth its vapory spout; while, suspended from a bough, the +terrific lower jaw vibrated over all the devotees, like the hair-hung +sword that so affrighted Damocles. + +It was a wondrous sight. The wood was green as mosses of the Icy Glen; +the trees stood high and haughty, feeling their living sap; the +industrious earth beneath was as a weavers loom, with a gorgeous +carpet on it, whereof the ground-vine tendrils formed the warp and +woof, and the living flowers the figures. All the trees, with all their +laden branches; all the shrubs, and ferns, and grasses; the +message-carrying air; all these unceasingly were active. Through the +lacings of the leaves, the great sun seemed a flying shuttle weaving +the unwearied verdure. Oh, busy weaver! unseen weaver!pause!one +word!whither flows the fabric? what palace may it deck? wherefore all +these ceaseless toilings? Speak, weaver!stay thy hand!but one single +word with thee! Naythe shuttle fliesthe figures float from forth the +loom; the freshet-rushing carpet for ever slides away. The weaver-god, +he weaves; and by that weaving is he deafened, that he hears no mortal +voice; and by that humming, we, too, who look on the loom are deafened; +and only when we escape it shall we hear the thousand voices that speak +through it. For even so it is in all material factories. The spoken +words that are inaudible among the flying spindles; those same words +are plainly heard without the walls, bursting from the opened +casements. Thereby have villainies been detected. Ah, mortal! then, be +heedful; for so, in all this din of the great worlds loom, thy +subtlest thinkings may be overheard afar. + +Now, amid the green, life-restless loom of that Arsacidean wood, the +great, white, worshipped skeleton lay lounginga gigantic idler! Yet, +as the ever-woven verdant warp and woof intermixed and hummed around +him, the mighty idler seemed the cunning weaver; himself all woven over +with the vines; every month assuming greener, fresher verdure; but +himself a skeleton. Life folded Death; Death trellised Life; the grim +god wived with youthful Life, and begat him curly-headed glories. + +Now, when with royal Tranquo I visited this wondrous whale, and saw the +skull an altar, and the artificial smoke ascending from where the real +jet had issued, I marvelled that the king should regard a chapel as an +object of vertu. He laughed. But more I marvelled that the priests +should swear that smoky jet of his was genuine. To and fro I paced +before this skeletonbrushed the vines asidebroke through the ribsand +with a ball of Arsacidean twine, wandered, eddied long amid its many +winding, shaded colonnades and arbours. But soon my line was out; and +following it back, I emerged from the opening where I entered. I saw no +living thing within; naught was there but bones. + +Cutting me a green measuring-rod, I once more dived within the +skeleton. From their arrow-slit in the skull, the priests perceived me +taking the altitude of the final rib, How now! they shouted; Darst +thou measure this our god! Thats for us. Aye, priestswell, how long +do ye make him, then? But hereupon a fierce contest rose among them, +concerning feet and inches; they cracked each others sconces with +their yard-sticksthe great skull echoedand seizing that lucky chance, +I quickly concluded my own admeasurements. + +These admeasurements I now propose to set before you. But first, be it +recorded, that, in this matter, I am not free to utter any fancied +measurement I please. Because there are skeleton authorities you can +refer to, to test my accuracy. There is a Leviathanic Museum, they tell +me, in Hull, England, one of the whaling ports of that country, where +they have some fine specimens of fin-backs and other whales. Likewise, +I have heard that in the museum of Manchester, in New Hampshire, they +have what the proprietors call the only perfect specimen of a +Greenland or River Whale in the United States. Moreover, at a place in +Yorkshire, England, Burton Constable by name, a certain Sir Clifford +Constable has in his possession the skeleton of a Sperm Whale, but of +moderate size, by no means of the full-grown magnitude of my friend +King Tranquos. + +In both cases, the stranded whales to which these two skeletons +belonged, were originally claimed by their proprietors upon similar +grounds. King Tranquo seizing his because he wanted it; and Sir +Clifford, because he was lord of the seignories of those parts. Sir +Cliffords whale has been articulated throughout; so that, like a great +chest of drawers, you can open and shut him, in all his bony +cavitiesspread out his ribs like a gigantic fanand swing all day upon +his lower jaw. Locks are to be put upon some of his trap-doors and +shutters; and a footman will show round future visitors with a bunch of +keys at his side. Sir Clifford thinks of charging twopence for a peep +at the whispering gallery in the spinal column; threepence to hear the +echo in the hollow of his cerebellum; and sixpence for the unrivalled +view from his forehead. + +The skeleton dimensions I shall now proceed to set down are copied +verbatim from my right arm, where I had them tattooed; as in my wild +wanderings at that period, there was no other secure way of preserving +such valuable statistics. But as I was crowded for space, and wished +the other parts of my body to remain a blank page for a poem I was then +composingat least, what untattooed parts might remainI did not +trouble myself with the odd inches; nor, indeed, should inches at all +enter into a congenial admeasurement of the whale. + + +CHAPTER 103. Measurement of The Whales Skeleton. + +In the first place, I wish to lay before you a particular, plain +statement, touching the living bulk of this leviathan, whose skeleton +we are briefly to exhibit. Such a statement may prove useful here. + +According to a careful calculation I have made, and which I partly base +upon Captain Scoresbys estimate, of seventy tons for the largest sized +Greenland whale of sixty feet in length; according to my careful +calculation, I say, a Sperm Whale of the largest magnitude, between +eighty-five and ninety feet in length, and something less than forty +feet in its fullest circumference, such a whale will weigh at least +ninety tons; so that, reckoning thirteen men to a ton, he would +considerably outweigh the combined population of a whole village of one +thousand one hundred inhabitants. + +Think you not then that brains, like yoked cattle, should be put to +this leviathan, to make him at all budge to any landsmans imagination? + +Having already in various ways put before you his skull, spout-hole, +jaw, teeth, tail, forehead, fins, and divers other parts, I shall now +simply point out what is most interesting in the general bulk of his +unobstructed bones. But as the colossal skull embraces so very large a +proportion of the entire extent of the skeleton; as it is by far the +most complicated part; and as nothing is to be repeated concerning it +in this chapter, you must not fail to carry it in your mind, or under +your arm, as we proceed, otherwise you will not gain a complete notion +of the general structure we are about to view. + +In length, the Sperm Whales skeleton at Tranque measured seventy-two +feet; so that when fully invested and extended in life, he must have +been ninety feet long; for in the whale, the skeleton loses about one +fifth in length compared with the living body. Of this seventy-two +feet, his skull and jaw comprised some twenty feet, leaving some fifty +feet of plain back-bone. Attached to this back-bone, for something less +than a third of its length, was the mighty circular basket of ribs +which once enclosed his vitals. + +To me this vast ivory-ribbed chest, with the long, unrelieved spine, +extending far away from it in a straight line, not a little resembled +the hull of a great ship new-laid upon the stocks, when only some +twenty of her naked bow-ribs are inserted, and the keel is otherwise, +for the time, but a long, disconnected timber. + +The ribs were ten on a side. The first, to begin from the neck, was +nearly six feet long; the second, third, and fourth were each +successively longer, till you came to the climax of the fifth, or one +of the middle ribs, which measured eight feet and some inches. From +that part, the remaining ribs diminished, till the tenth and last only +spanned five feet and some inches. In general thickness, they all bore +a seemly correspondence to their length. The middle ribs were the most +arched. In some of the Arsacides they are used for beams whereon to lay +footpath bridges over small streams. + +In considering these ribs, I could not but be struck anew with the +circumstance, so variously repeated in this book, that the skeleton of +the whale is by no means the mould of his invested form. The largest of +the Tranque ribs, one of the middle ones, occupied that part of the +fish which, in life, is greatest in depth. Now, the greatest depth of +the invested body of this particular whale must have been at least +sixteen feet; whereas, the corresponding rib measured but little more +than eight feet. So that this rib only conveyed half of the true notion +of the living magnitude of that part. Besides, for some way, where I +now saw but a naked spine, all that had been once wrapped round with +tons of added bulk in flesh, muscle, blood, and bowels. Still more, for +the ample fins, I here saw but a few disordered joints; and in place of +the weighty and majestic, but boneless flukes, an utter blank! + +How vain and foolish, then, thought I, for timid untravelled man to try +to comprehend aright this wondrous whale, by merely poring over his +dead attenuated skeleton, stretched in this peaceful wood. No. Only in +the heart of quickest perils; only when within the eddyings of his +angry flukes; only on the profound unbounded sea, can the fully +invested whale be truly and livingly found out. + +But the spine. For that, the best way we can consider it is, with a +crane, to pile its bones high up on end. No speedy enterprise. But now +its done, it looks much like Pompeys Pillar. + +There are forty and odd vertebr in all, which in the skeleton are not +locked together. They mostly lie like the great knobbed blocks on a +Gothic spire, forming solid courses of heavy masonry. The largest, a +middle one, is in width something less than three feet, and in depth +more than four. The smallest, where the spine tapers away into the +tail, is only two inches in width, and looks something like a white +billiard-ball. I was told that there were still smaller ones, but they +had been lost by some little cannibal urchins, the priests children, +who had stolen them to play marbles with. Thus we see how that the +spine of even the hugest of living things tapers off at last into +simple childs play. + + +CHAPTER 104. The Fossil Whale. + +From his mighty bulk the whale affords a most congenial theme whereon +to enlarge, amplify, and generally expatiate. Would you, you could not +compress him. By good rights he should only be treated of in imperial +folio. Not to tell over again his furlongs from spiracle to tail, and +the yards he measures about the waist; only think of the gigantic +involutions of his intestines, where they lie in him like great cables +and hawsers coiled away in the subterranean orlop-deck of a +line-of-battle-ship. + +Since I have undertaken to manhandle this Leviathan, it behooves me to +approve myself omnisciently exhaustive in the enterprise; not +overlooking the minutest seminal germs of his blood, and spinning him +out to the uttermost coil of his bowels. Having already described him +in most of his present habitatory and anatomical peculiarities, it now +remains to magnify him in an archological, fossiliferous, and +antediluvian point of view. Applied to any other creature than the +Leviathanto an ant or a fleasuch portly terms might justly be deemed +unwarrantably grandiloquent. But when Leviathan is the text, the case +is altered. Fain am I to stagger to this emprise under the weightiest +words of the dictionary. And here be it said, that whenever it has been +convenient to consult one in the course of these dissertations, I have +invariably used a huge quarto edition of Johnson, expressly purchased +for that purpose; because that famous lexicographers uncommon personal +bulk more fitted him to compile a lexicon to be used by a whale author +like me. + +One often hears of writers that rise and swell with their subject, +though it may seem but an ordinary one. How, then, with me, writing of +this Leviathan? Unconsciously my chirography expands into placard +capitals. Give me a condors quill! Give me Vesuvius crater for an +inkstand! Friends, hold my arms! For in the mere act of penning my +thoughts of this Leviathan, they weary me, and make me faint with their +outreaching comprehensiveness of sweep, as if to include the whole +circle of the sciences, and all the generations of whales, and men, and +mastodons, past, present, and to come, with all the revolving panoramas +of empire on earth, and throughout the whole universe, not excluding +its suburbs. Such, and so magnifying, is the virtue of a large and +liberal theme! We expand to its bulk. To produce a mighty book, you +must choose a mighty theme. No great and enduring volume can ever be +written on the flea, though many there be who have tried it. + +Ere entering upon the subject of Fossil Whales, I present my +credentials as a geologist, by stating that in my miscellaneous time I +have been a stone-mason, and also a great digger of ditches, canals and +wells, wine-vaults, cellars, and cisterns of all sorts. Likewise, by +way of preliminary, I desire to remind the reader, that while in the +earlier geological strata there are found the fossils of monsters now +almost completely extinct; the subsequent relics discovered in what are +called the Tertiary formations seem the connecting, or at any rate +intercepted links, between the antichronical creatures, and those whose +remote posterity are said to have entered the Ark; all the Fossil +Whales hitherto discovered belong to the Tertiary period, which is the +last preceding the superficial formations. And though none of them +precisely answer to any known species of the present time, they are yet +sufficiently akin to them in general respects, to justify their taking +rank as Cetacean fossils. + +Detached broken fossils of pre-adamite whales, fragments of their bones +and skeletons, have within thirty years past, at various intervals, +been found at the base of the Alps, in Lombardy, in France, in England, +in Scotland, and in the States of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. +Among the more curious of such remains is part of a skull, which in the +year 1779 was disinterred in the Rue Dauphine in Paris, a short street +opening almost directly upon the palace of the Tuileries; and bones +disinterred in excavating the great docks of Antwerp, in Napoleons +time. Cuvier pronounced these fragments to have belonged to some +utterly unknown Leviathanic species. + +But by far the most wonderful of all Cetacean relics was the almost +complete vast skeleton of an extinct monster, found in the year 1842, +on the plantation of Judge Creagh, in Alabama. The awe-stricken +credulous slaves in the vicinity took it for the bones of one of the +fallen angels. The Alabama doctors declared it a huge reptile, and +bestowed upon it the name of Basilosaurus. But some specimen bones of +it being taken across the sea to Owen, the English Anatomist, it turned +out that this alleged reptile was a whale, though of a departed +species. A significant illustration of the fact, again and again +repeated in this book, that the skeleton of the whale furnishes but +little clue to the shape of his fully invested body. So Owen +rechristened the monster Zeuglodon; and in his paper read before the +London Geological Society, pronounced it, in substance, one of the most +extraordinary creatures which the mutations of the globe have blotted +out of existence. + +When I stand among these mighty Leviathan skeletons, skulls, tusks, +jaws, ribs, and vertebr, all characterized by partial resemblances to +the existing breeds of sea-monsters; but at the same time bearing on +the other hand similar affinities to the annihilated antichronical +Leviathans, their incalculable seniors; I am, by a flood, borne back to +that wondrous period, ere time itself can be said to have begun; for +time began with man. Here Saturns grey chaos rolls over me, and I +obtain dim, shuddering glimpses into those Polar eternities; when +wedged bastions of ice pressed hard upon what are now the Tropics; and +in all the 25,000 miles of this worlds circumference, not an +inhabitable hands breadth of land was visible. Then the whole world +was the whales; and, king of creation, he left his wake along the +present lines of the Andes and the Himmalehs. Who can show a pedigree +like Leviathan? Ahabs harpoon had shed older blood than the Pharaohs. +Methuselah seems a school-boy. I look round to shake hands with Shem. I +am horror-struck at this antemosaic, unsourced existence of the +unspeakable terrors of the whale, which, having been before all time, +must needs exist after all humane ages are over. + +But not alone has this Leviathan left his pre-adamite traces in the +stereotype plates of nature, and in limestone and marl bequeathed his +ancient bust; but upon Egyptian tablets, whose antiquity seems to claim +for them an almost fossiliferous character, we find the unmistakable +print of his fin. In an apartment of the great temple of Denderah, some +fifty years ago, there was discovered upon the granite ceiling a +sculptured and painted planisphere, abounding in centaurs, griffins, +and dolphins, similar to the grotesque figures on the celestial globe +of the moderns. Gliding among them, old Leviathan swam as of yore; was +there swimming in that planisphere, centuries before Solomon was +cradled. + +Nor must there be omitted another strange attestation of the antiquity +of the whale, in his own osseous post-diluvian reality, as set down by +the venerable John Leo, the old Barbary traveller. + +Not far from the Sea-side, they have a Temple, the Rafters and Beams +of which are made of Whale-Bones; for Whales of a monstrous size are +oftentimes cast up dead upon that shore. The Common People imagine, +that by a secret Power bestowed by God upon the Temple, no Whale can +pass it without immediate death. But the truth of the Matter is, that +on either side of the Temple, there are Rocks that shoot two Miles into +the Sea, and wound the Whales when they light upon em. They keep a +Whales Rib of an incredible length for a Miracle, which lying upon the +Ground with its convex part uppermost, makes an Arch, the Head of which +cannot be reached by a Man upon a Camels Back. This Rib (says John +Leo) is said to have layn there a hundred Years before I saw it. Their +Historians affirm, that a Prophet who prophesyd of Mahomet, came from +this Temple, and some do not stand to assert, that the Prophet Jonas +was cast forth by the Whale at the Base of the Temple. + +In this Afric Temple of the Whale I leave you, reader, and if you be a +Nantucketer, and a whaleman, you will silently worship there. + + +CHAPTER 105. Does the Whales Magnitude Diminish?Will He Perish? + +Inasmuch, then, as this Leviathan comes floundering down upon us from +the head-waters of the Eternities, it may be fitly inquired, whether, +in the long course of his generations, he has not degenerated from the +original bulk of his sires. + +But upon investigation we find, that not only are the whales of the +present day superior in magnitude to those whose fossil remains are +found in the Tertiary system (embracing a distinct geological period +prior to man), but of the whales found in that Tertiary system, those +belonging to its latter formations exceed in size those of its earlier +ones. + +Of all the pre-adamite whales yet exhumed, by far the largest is the +Alabama one mentioned in the last chapter, and that was less than +seventy feet in length in the skeleton. Whereas, we have already seen, +that the tape-measure gives seventy-two feet for the skeleton of a +large sized modern whale. And I have heard, on whalemens authority, +that Sperm Whales have been captured near a hundred feet long at the +time of capture. + +But may it not be, that while the whales of the present hour are an +advance in magnitude upon those of all previous geological periods; may +it not be, that since Adams time they have degenerated? + +Assuredly, we must conclude so, if we are to credit the accounts of +such gentlemen as Pliny, and the ancient naturalists generally. For +Pliny tells us of whales that embraced acres of living bulk, and +Aldrovandus of others which measured eight hundred feet in lengthRope +Walks and Thames Tunnels of Whales! And even in the days of Banks and +Solander, Cookes naturalists, we find a Danish member of the Academy +of Sciences setting down certain Iceland Whales (reydan-siskur, or +Wrinkled Bellies) at one hundred and twenty yards; that is, three +hundred and sixty feet. And Lacpde, the French naturalist, in his +elaborate history of whales, in the very beginning of his work (page +3), sets down the Right Whale at one hundred metres, three hundred and +twenty-eight feet. And this work was published so late as A.D. 1825. + +But will any whaleman believe these stories? No. The whale of to-day is +as big as his ancestors in Plinys time. And if ever I go where Pliny +is, I, a whaleman (more than he was), will make bold to tell him so. +Because I cannot understand how it is, that while the Egyptian mummies +that were buried thousands of years before even Pliny was born, do not +measure so much in their coffins as a modern Kentuckian in his socks; +and while the cattle and other animals sculptured on the oldest +Egyptian and Nineveh tablets, by the relative proportions in which they +are drawn, just as plainly prove that the high-bred, stall-fed, prize +cattle of Smithfield, not only equal, but far exceed in magnitude the +fattest of Pharaohs fat kine; in the face of all this, I will not +admit that of all animals the whale alone should have degenerated. + +But still another inquiry remains; one often agitated by the more +recondite Nantucketers. Whether owing to the almost omniscient +look-outs at the mast-heads of the whale-ships, now penetrating even +through Behrings straits, and into the remotest secret drawers and +lockers of the world; and the thousand harpoons and lances darted along +all continental coasts; the moot point is, whether Leviathan can long +endure so wide a chase, and so remorseless a havoc; whether he must not +at last be exterminated from the waters, and the last whale, like the +last man, smoke his last pipe, and then himself evaporate in the final +puff. + +Comparing the humped herds of whales with the humped herds of buffalo, +which, not forty years ago, overspread by tens of thousands the +prairies of Illinois and Missouri, and shook their iron manes and +scowled with their thunder-clotted brows upon the sites of populous +river-capitals, where now the polite broker sells you land at a dollar +an inch; in such a comparison an irresistible argument would seem +furnished, to show that the hunted whale cannot now escape speedy +extinction. + +But you must look at this matter in every light. Though so short a +period agonot a good lifetimethe census of the buffalo in Illinois +exceeded the census of men now in London, and though at the present day +not one horn or hoof of them remains in all that region; and though the +cause of this wondrous extermination was the spear of man; yet the far +different nature of the whale-hunt peremptorily forbids so inglorious +an end to the Leviathan. Forty men in one ship hunting the Sperm Whales +for forty-eight months think they have done extremely well, and thank +God, if at last they carry home the oil of forty fish. Whereas, in the +days of the old Canadian and Indian hunters and trappers of the West, +when the far west (in whose sunset suns still rise) was a wilderness +and a virgin, the same number of moccasined men, for the same number of +months, mounted on horse instead of sailing in ships, would have slain +not forty, but forty thousand and more buffaloes; a fact that, if need +were, could be statistically stated. + +Nor, considered aright, does it seem any argument in favour of the +gradual extinction of the Sperm Whale, for example, that in former +years (the latter part of the last century, say) these Leviathans, in +small pods, were encountered much oftener than at present, and, in +consequence, the voyages were not so prolonged, and were also much more +remunerative. Because, as has been elsewhere noticed, those whales, +influenced by some views to safety, now swim the seas in immense +caravans, so that to a large degree the scattered solitaries, yokes, +and pods, and schools of other days are now aggregated into vast but +widely separated, unfrequent armies. That is all. And equally +fallacious seems the conceit, that because the so-called whale-bone +whales no longer haunt many grounds in former years abounding with +them, hence that species also is declining. For they are only being +driven from promontory to cape; and if one coast is no longer enlivened +with their jets, then, be sure, some other and remoter strand has been +very recently startled by the unfamiliar spectacle. + +Furthermore: concerning these last mentioned Leviathans, they have two +firm fortresses, which, in all human probability, will for ever remain +impregnable. And as upon the invasion of their valleys, the frosty +Swiss have retreated to their mountains; so, hunted from the savannas +and glades of the middle seas, the whale-bone whales can at last resort +to their Polar citadels, and diving under the ultimate glassy barriers +and walls there, come up among icy fields and floes; and in a charmed +circle of everlasting December, bid defiance to all pursuit from man. + +But as perhaps fifty of these whale-bone whales are harpooned for one +cachalot, some philosophers of the forecastle have concluded that this +positive havoc has already very seriously diminished their battalions. +But though for some time past a number of these whales, not less than +13,000, have been annually slain on the nor west coast by the +Americans alone; yet there are considerations which render even this +circumstance of little or no account as an opposing argument in this +matter. + +Natural as it is to be somewhat incredulous concerning the populousness +of the more enormous creatures of the globe, yet what shall we say to +Harto, the historian of Goa, when he tells us that at one hunting the +King of Siam took 4,000 elephants; that in those regions elephants are +numerous as droves of cattle in the temperate climes. And there seems +no reason to doubt that if these elephants, which have now been hunted +for thousands of years, by Semiramis, by Porus, by Hannibal, and by all +the successive monarchs of the Eastif they still survive there in +great numbers, much more may the great whale outlast all hunting, since +he has a pasture to expatiate in, which is precisely twice as large as +all Asia, both Americas, Europe and Africa, New Holland, and all the +Isles of the sea combined. + +Moreover: we are to consider, that from the presumed great longevity of +whales, their probably attaining the age of a century and more, +therefore at any one period of time, several distinct adult generations +must be contemporary. And what that is, we may soon gain some idea of, +by imagining all the grave-yards, cemeteries, and family vaults of +creation yielding up the live bodies of all the men, women, and +children who were alive seventy-five years ago; and adding this +countless host to the present human population of the globe. + +Wherefore, for all these things, we account the whale immortal in his +species, however perishable in his individuality. He swam the seas +before the continents broke water; he once swam over the site of the +Tuileries, and Windsor Castle, and the Kremlin. In Noahs flood he +despised Noahs Ark; and if ever the world is to be again flooded, like +the Netherlands, to kill off its rats, then the eternal whale will +still survive, and rearing upon the topmost crest of the equatorial +flood, spout his frothed defiance to the skies. + + +CHAPTER 106. Ahabs Leg. + +The precipitating manner in which Captain Ahab had quitted the Samuel +Enderby of London, had not been unattended with some small violence to +his own person. He had lighted with such energy upon a thwart of his +boat that his ivory leg had received a half-splintering shock. And when +after gaining his own deck, and his own pivot-hole there, he so +vehemently wheeled round with an urgent command to the steersman (it +was, as ever, something about his not steering inflexibly enough); +then, the already shaken ivory received such an additional twist and +wrench, that though it still remained entire, and to all appearances +lusty, yet Ahab did not deem it entirely trustworthy. + +And, indeed, it seemed small matter for wonder, that for all his +pervading, mad recklessness, Ahab did at times give careful heed to the +condition of that dead bone upon which he partly stood. For it had not +been very long prior to the Pequods sailing from Nantucket, that he +had been found one night lying prone upon the ground, and insensible; +by some unknown, and seemingly inexplicable, unimaginable casualty, his +ivory limb having been so violently displaced, that it had stake-wise +smitten, and all but pierced his groin; nor was it without extreme +difficulty that the agonizing wound was entirely cured. + +Nor, at the time, had it failed to enter his monomaniac mind, that all +the anguish of that then present suffering was but the direct issue of +a former woe; and he too plainly seemed to see, that as the most +poisonous reptile of the marsh perpetuates his kind as inevitably as +the sweetest songster of the grove; so, equally with every felicity, +all miserable events do naturally beget their like. Yea, more than +equally, thought Ahab; since both the ancestry and posterity of Grief +go further than the ancestry and posterity of Joy. For, not to hint of +this: that it is an inference from certain canonic teachings, that +while some natural enjoyments here shall have no children born to them +for the other world, but, on the contrary, shall be followed by the +joy-childlessness of all hells despair; whereas, some guilty mortal +miseries shall still fertilely beget to themselves an eternally +progressive progeny of griefs beyond the grave; not at all to hint of +this, there still seems an inequality in the deeper analysis of the +thing. For, thought Ahab, while even the highest earthly felicities +ever have a certain unsignifying pettiness lurking in them, but, at +bottom, all heartwoes, a mystic significance, and, in some men, an +archangelic grandeur; so do their diligent tracings-out not belie the +obvious deduction. To trail the genealogies of these high mortal +miseries, carries us at last among the sourceless primogenitures of the +gods; so that, in the face of all the glad, hay-making suns, and soft +cymballing, round harvest-moons, we must needs give in to this: that +the gods themselves are not for ever glad. The ineffaceable, sad +birth-mark in the brow of man, is but the stamp of sorrow in the +signers. + +Unwittingly here a secret has been divulged, which perhaps might more +properly, in set way, have been disclosed before. With many other +particulars concerning Ahab, always had it remained a mystery to some, +why it was, that for a certain period, both before and after the +sailing of the Pequod, he had hidden himself away with such +Grand-Lama-like exclusiveness; and, for that one interval, sought +speechless refuge, as it were, among the marble senate of the dead. +Captain Pelegs bruited reason for this thing appeared by no means +adequate; though, indeed, as touching all Ahabs deeper part, every +revelation partook more of significant darkness than of explanatory +light. But, in the end, it all came out; this one matter did, at least. +That direful mishap was at the bottom of his temporary recluseness. And +not only this, but to that ever-contracting, dropping circle ashore, +who, for any reason, possessed the privilege of a less banned approach +to him; to that timid circle the above hinted casualtyremaining, as it +did, moodily unaccounted for by Ahabinvested itself with terrors, not +entirely underived from the land of spirits and of wails. So that, +through their zeal for him, they had all conspired, so far as in them +lay, to muffle up the knowledge of this thing from others; and hence it +was, that not till a considerable interval had elapsed, did it +transpire upon the Pequods decks. + +But be all this as it may; let the unseen, ambiguous synod in the air, +or the vindictive princes and potentates of fire, have to do or not +with earthly Ahab, yet, in this present matter of his leg, he took +plain practical procedures;he called the carpenter. + +And when that functionary appeared before him, he bade him without +delay set about making a new leg, and directed the mates to see him +supplied with all the studs and joists of jaw-ivory (Sperm Whale) which +had thus far been accumulated on the voyage, in order that a careful +selection of the stoutest, clearest-grained stuff might be secured. +This done, the carpenter received orders to have the leg completed that +night; and to provide all the fittings for it, independent of those +pertaining to the distrusted one in use. Moreover, the ships forge was +ordered to be hoisted out of its temporary idleness in the hold; and, +to accelerate the affair, the blacksmith was commanded to proceed at +once to the forging of whatever iron contrivances might be needed. + + +CHAPTER 107. The Carpenter. + +Seat thyself sultanically among the moons of Saturn, and take high +abstracted man alone; and he seems a wonder, a grandeur, and a woe. But +from the same point, take mankind in mass, and for the most part, they +seem a mob of unnecessary duplicates, both contemporary and hereditary. +But most humble though he was, and far from furnishing an example of +the high, humane abstraction; the Pequods carpenter was no duplicate; +hence, he now comes in person on this stage. + +Like all sea-going ship carpenters, and more especially those belonging +to whaling vessels, he was, to a certain off-handed, practical extent, +alike experienced in numerous trades and callings collateral to his +own; the carpenters pursuit being the ancient and outbranching trunk +of all those numerous handicrafts which more or less have to do with +wood as an auxiliary material. But, besides the application to him of +the generic remark above, this carpenter of the Pequod was singularly +efficient in those thousand nameless mechanical emergencies continually +recurring in a large ship, upon a three or four years voyage, in +uncivilized and far-distant seas. For not to speak of his readiness in +ordinary duties:repairing stove boats, sprung spars, reforming the +shape of clumsy-bladed oars, inserting bulls eyes in the deck, or new +tree-nails in the side planks, and other miscellaneous matters more +directly pertaining to his special business; he was moreover +unhesitatingly expert in all manner of conflicting aptitudes, both +useful and capricious. + +The one grand stage where he enacted all his various parts so manifold, +was his vice-bench; a long rude ponderous table furnished with several +vices, of different sizes, and both of iron and of wood. At all times +except when whales were alongside, this bench was securely lashed +athwartships against the rear of the Try-works. + +A belaying pin is found too large to be easily inserted into its hole: +the carpenter claps it into one of his ever-ready vices, and +straightway files it smaller. A lost land-bird of strange plumage +strays on board, and is made a captive: out of clean shaved rods of +right-whale bone, and cross-beams of sperm whale ivory, the carpenter +makes a pagoda-looking cage for it. An oarsman sprains his wrist: the +carpenter concocts a soothing lotion. Stubb longed for vermillion stars +to be painted upon the blade of his every oar; screwing each oar in his +big vice of wood, the carpenter symmetrically supplies the +constellation. A sailor takes a fancy to wear shark-bone ear-rings: the +carpenter drills his ears. Another has the toothache: the carpenter out +pincers, and clapping one hand upon his bench bids him be seated there; +but the poor fellow unmanageably winces under the unconcluded +operation; whirling round the handle of his wooden vice, the carpenter +signs him to clap his jaw in that, if he would have him draw the tooth. + +Thus, this carpenter was prepared at all points, and alike indifferent +and without respect in all. Teeth he accounted bits of ivory; heads he +deemed but top-blocks; men themselves he lightly held for capstans. But +while now upon so wide a field thus variously accomplished and with +such liveliness of expertness in him, too; all this would seem to argue +some uncommon vivacity of intelligence. But not precisely so. For +nothing was this man more remarkable, than for a certain impersonal +stolidity as it were; impersonal, I say; for it so shaded off into the +surrounding infinite of things, that it seemed one with the general +stolidity discernible in the whole visible world; which while +pauselessly active in uncounted modes, still eternally holds its peace, +and ignores you, though you dig foundations for cathedrals. Yet was +this half-horrible stolidity in him, involving, too, as it appeared, an +all-ramifying heartlessness;yet was it oddly dashed at times, with an +old, crutch-like, antediluvian, wheezing humorousness, not unstreaked +now and then with a certain grizzled wittiness; such as might have +served to pass the time during the midnight watch on the bearded +forecastle of Noahs ark. Was it that this old carpenter had been a +life-long wanderer, whose much rolling, to and fro, not only had +gathered no moss; but what is more, had rubbed off whatever small +outward clingings might have originally pertained to him? He was a +stript abstract; an unfractioned integral; uncompromised as a new-born +babe; living without premeditated reference to this world or the next. +You might almost say, that this strange uncompromisedness in him +involved a sort of unintelligence; for in his numerous trades, he did +not seem to work so much by reason or by instinct, or simply because he +had been tutored to it, or by any intermixture of all these, even or +uneven; but merely by a kind of deaf and dumb, spontaneous literal +process. He was a pure manipulator; his brain, if he had ever had one, +must have early oozed along into the muscles of his fingers. He was +like one of those unreasoning but still highly useful, _multum in +parvo_, Sheffield contrivances, assuming the exteriorthough a little +swelledof a common pocket knife; but containing, not only blades of +various sizes, but also screw-drivers, cork-screws, tweezers, awls, +pens, rulers, nail-filers, countersinkers. So, if his superiors wanted +to use the carpenter for a screw-driver, all they had to do was to open +that part of him, and the screw was fast: or if for tweezers, take him +up by the legs, and there they were. + +Yet, as previously hinted, this omnitooled, open-and-shut carpenter, +was, after all, no mere machine of an automaton. If he did not have a +common soul in him, he had a subtle something that somehow anomalously +did its duty. What that was, whether essence of quicksilver, or a few +drops of hartshorn, there is no telling. But there it was; and there it +had abided for now some sixty years or more. And this it was, this same +unaccountable, cunning life-principle in him; this it was, that kept +him a great part of the time soliloquizing; but only like an +unreasoning wheel, which also hummingly soliloquizes; or rather, his +body was a sentry-box and this soliloquizer on guard there, and talking +all the time to keep himself awake. + + +CHAPTER 108. Ahab and the Carpenter. + +The DeckFirst Night Watch. + +(_Carpenter standing before his vice-bench, and by the light of two +lanterns busily filing the ivory joist for the leg, which joist is +firmly fixed in the vice.

Come, come, you old Smut, there, bear a hand, and lets +have that ferule and buckle-screw; Ill be ready for them presently. +Lucky now (_sneezes_) theres no knee-joint to make; that might puzzle +a little; but a mere shinbonewhy its easy as making hop-poles; only I +should like to put a good finish on.

(_During the ensuing scene, the carpenter continues +sneezing at times._) + +Well, manmaker! + +Just in time, sir. If the captain pleases, I will now mark the length. +Let me measure, sir. + +Measured for a leg! good. Well, its not the first time. About it! +There; keep thy finger on it. This is a cogent vice thou hast here, +carpenter; let me feel its grip once. So, so; it does pinch some. + +Oh, sir, it will break bonesbeware, beware! + +No fear; I like a good grip; I like to feel something in this slippery +world that can hold, man. Whats Prometheus about there?the +blacksmith, I meanwhats he about? + +He must be forging the buckle-screw, sir, now. + +Right. Its a partnership; he supplies the muscle part. He makes a +fierce red flame there! + +Aye, sir; he must have the white heat for this kind of fine work. + +Um-m. So he must. I do deem it now a most meaning thing, that that old +Greek, Prometheus, who made men, they say, should have been a +blacksmith, and animated them with fire; for whats made in fire must +properly belong to fire; and so hells probable. How the soot flies! +This must be the remainder the Greek made the Africans of. Carpenter, +when hes through with that buckle, tell him to forge a pair of steel +shoulder-blades; theres a pedlar aboard with a crushing pack. + +Sir? + +Hold; while Prometheus is about it, Ill order a complete man after a +desirable pattern. Imprimis, fifty feet high in his socks; then, chest +modelled after the Thames Tunnel; then, legs with roots to em, to stay +in one place; then, arms three feet through the wrist; no heart at all, +brass forehead, and about a quarter of an acre of fine brains; and let +me seeshall I order eyes to see outwards? No, but put a sky-light on +top of his head to illuminate inwards. There, take the order, and away. + +Now, whats he speaking about, and whos he speaking to, I should like +to know? Shall I keep standing here? (_aside_). + +Tis but indifferent architecture to make a blind dome; heres one. No, +no, no; I must have a lantern. + +Ho, ho! Thats it, hey? Here are two, sir; one will serve my turn. + +What art thou thrusting that thief-catcher into my face for, man? +Thrusted light is worse than presented pistols. + +I thought, sir, that you spoke to carpenter. + +Carpenter? why thatsbut no;a very tidy, and, I may say, an extremely +gentlemanlike sort of business thou art in here, carpenter;or wouldst +thou rather work in clay? + +Sir?Clay? clay, sir? Thats mud; we leave clay to ditchers, sir. + +The fellows impious! What art thou sneezing about? + +Bone is rather dusty, sir. + +Take the hint, then; and when thou art dead, never bury thyself under +living peoples noses. + +Sir?oh! ah!I guess so;yesoh, dear! + +Look ye, carpenter, I dare say thou callest thyself a right good +workmanlike workman, eh? Well, then, will it speak thoroughly well for +thy work, if, when I come to mount this leg thou makest, I shall +nevertheless feel another leg in the same identical place with it; that +is, carpenter, my old lost leg; the flesh and blood one, I mean. Canst +thou not drive that old Adam away? + +Truly, sir, I begin to understand somewhat now. Yes, I have heard +something curious on that score, sir; how that a dismasted man never +entirely loses the feeling of his old spar, but it will be still +pricking him at times. May I humbly ask if it be really so, sir? + +It is, man. Look, put thy live leg here in the place where mine once +was; so, now, here is only one distinct leg to the eye, yet two to the +soul. Where thou feelest tingling life; there, exactly there, there to +a hair, do I. Ist a riddle? + +I should humbly call it a poser, sir. + +Hist, then. How dost thou know that some entire, living, thinking thing +may not be invisibly and uninterpenetratingly standing precisely where +thou now standest; aye, and standing there in thy spite? In thy most +solitary hours, then, dost thou not fear eavesdroppers? Hold, dont +speak! And if I still feel the smart of my crushed leg, though it be +now so long dissolved; then, why mayst not thou, carpenter, feel the +fiery pains of hell for ever, and without a body? Hah! + +Good Lord! Truly, sir, if it comes to that, I must calculate over +again; I think I didnt carry a small figure, sir. + +Look ye, pudding-heads should never grant premises.How long before the +leg is done? + +Perhaps an hour, sir. + +Bungle away at it then, and bring it to me (_turns to go_). Oh, Life! +Here I am, proud as Greek god, and yet standing debtor to this +blockhead for a bone to stand on! Cursed be that mortal +inter-indebtedness which will not do away with ledgers. I would be free +as air; and Im down in the whole worlds books. I am so rich, I could +have given bid for bid with the wealthiest Prtorians at the auction of +the Roman empire (which was the worlds); and yet I owe for the flesh +in the tongue I brag with. By heavens! Ill get a crucible, and into +it, and dissolve myself down to one small, compendious vertebra. So. + +CARPENTER (_resuming his work_). + +Well, well, well! Stubb knows him best of all, and Stubb always says +hes queer; says nothing but that one sufficient little word queer; +hes queer, says Stubb; hes queerqueer, queer; and keeps dinning it +into Mr. Starbuck all the timequeersirqueer, queer, very queer. And +heres his leg! Yes, now that I think of it, heres his bedfellow! has +a stick of whales jaw-bone for a wife! And this is his leg; hell +stand on this. What was that now about one leg standing in three +places, and all three places standing in one hellhow was that? Oh! I +dont wonder he looked so scornful at me! Im a sort of +strange-thoughted sometimes, they say; but thats only haphazard-like. +Then, a short, little old body like me, should never undertake to wade +out into deep waters with tall, heron-built captains; the water chucks +you under the chin pretty quick, and theres a great cry for +life-boats. And heres the herons leg! long and slim, sure enough! +Now, for most folks one pair of legs lasts a lifetime, and that must be +because they use them mercifully, as a tender-hearted old lady uses her +roly-poly old coach-horses. But Ahab; oh hes a hard driver. Look, +driven one leg to death, and spavined the other for life, and now wears +out bone legs by the cord. Halloa, there, you Smut! bear a hand there +with those screws, and lets finish it before the resurrection fellow +comes a-calling with his horn for all legs, true or false, as +brewery-men go round collecting old beer barrels, to fill em up again. +What a leg this is! It looks like a real live leg, filed down to +nothing but the core; hell be standing on this to-morrow; hell be +taking altitudes on it. Halloa! I almost forgot the little oval slate, +smoothed ivory, where he figures up the latitude. So, so; chisel, file, +and sand-paper, now! + + +CHAPTER 109. Ahab and Starbuck in the Cabin. + +According to usage they were pumping the ship next morning; and lo! no +inconsiderable oil came up with the water; the casks below must have +sprung a bad leak. Much concern was shown; and Starbuck went down into +the cabin to report this unfavourable affair.* + +*In Sperm-whalemen with any considerable quantity of oil on board, it +is a regular semi-weekly duty to conduct a hose into the hold, and +drench the casks with sea-water; which afterwards, at varying +intervals, is removed by the ships pumps. Hereby the casks are sought +to be kept damply tight; while by the changed character of the +withdrawn water, the mariners readily detect any serious leakage in the +precious cargo. + +Now, from the South and West the Pequod was drawing nigh to Formosa and +the Bashee Isles, between which lies one of the tropical outlets from +the China waters into the Pacific. And so Starbuck found Ahab with a +general chart of the oriental archipelagoes spread before him; and +another separate one representing the long eastern coasts of the +Japanese islandsNiphon, Matsmai, and Sikoke. With his snow-white new +ivory leg braced against the screwed leg of his table, and with a long +pruning-hook of a jack-knife in his hand, the wondrous old man, with +his back to the gangway door, was wrinkling his brow, and tracing his +old courses again. + +Whos there? hearing the footstep at the door, but not turning round +to it. On deck! Begone! + +Captain Ahab mistakes; it is I. The oil in the hold is leaking, sir. +We must up Burtons and break out. + +Up Burtons and break out? Now that we are nearing Japan; heave-to here +for a week to tinker a parcel of old hoops? + +Either do that, sir, or waste in one day more oil than we may make +good in a year. What we come twenty thousand miles to get is worth +saving, sir. + +So it is, so it is; if we get it. + +I was speaking of the oil in the hold, sir. + +And I was not speaking or thinking of that at all. Begone! Let it +leak! Im all aleak myself. Aye! leaks in leaks! not only full of leaky +casks, but those leaky casks are in a leaky ship; and thats a far +worse plight than the Pequods, man. Yet I dont stop to plug my leak; +for who can find it in the deep-loaded hull; or how hope to plug it, +even if found, in this lifes howling gale? Starbuck! Ill not have the +Burtons hoisted. + +What will the owners say, sir? + +Let the owners stand on Nantucket beach and outyell the Typhoons. What +cares Ahab? Owners, owners? Thou art always prating to me, Starbuck, +about those miserly owners, as if the owners were my conscience. But +look ye, the only real owner of anything is its commander; and hark ye, +my conscience is in this ships keel.On deck! + +Captain Ahab, said the reddening mate, moving further into the cabin, +with a daring so strangely respectful and cautious that it almost +seemed not only every way seeking to avoid the slightest outward +manifestation of itself, but within also seemed more than half +distrustful of itself; A better man than I might well pass over in +thee what he would quickly enough resent in a younger man; aye, and in +a happier, Captain Ahab. + +Devils! Dost thou then so much as dare to critically think of me?On +deck! + +Nay, sir, not yet; I do entreat. And I do dare, sirto be forbearing! +Shall we not understand each other better than hitherto, Captain Ahab? + +Ahab seized a loaded musket from the rack (forming part of most +South-Sea-mens cabin furniture), and pointing it towards Starbuck, +exclaimed: There is one God that is Lord over the earth, and one +Captain that is lord over the Pequod.On deck! + +For an instant in the flashing eyes of the mate, and his fiery cheeks, +you would have almost thought that he had really received the blaze of +the levelled tube. But, mastering his emotion, he half calmly rose, and +as he quitted the cabin, paused for an instant and said: Thou hast +outraged, not insulted me, sir; but for that I ask thee not to beware +of Starbuck; thou wouldst but laugh; but let Ahab beware of Ahab; +beware of thyself, old man. + +He waxes brave, but nevertheless obeys; most careful bravery that! +murmured Ahab, as Starbuck disappeared. Whats that he saidAhab +beware of Ahabtheres something there! Then unconsciously using the +musket for a staff, with an iron brow he paced to and fro in the little +cabin; but presently the thick plaits of his forehead relaxed, and +returning the gun to the rack, he went to the deck. + +Thou art but too good a fellow, Starbuck, he said lowly to the mate; +then raising his voice to the crew: Furl the tgallant-sails, and +close-reef the top-sails, fore and aft; back the main-yard; up Burton, +and break out in the main-hold. + +It were perhaps vain to surmise exactly why it was, that as respecting +Starbuck, Ahab thus acted. It may have been a flash of honesty in him; +or mere prudential policy which, under the circumstance, imperiously +forbade the slightest symptom of open disaffection, however transient, +in the important chief officer of his ship. However it was, his orders +were executed; and the Burtons were hoisted. + + +CHAPTER 110. Queequeg in His Coffin. + +Upon searching, it was found that the casks last struck into the hold +were perfectly sound, and that the leak must be further off. So, it +being calm weather, they broke out deeper and deeper, disturbing the +slumbers of the huge ground-tier butts; and from that black midnight +sending those gigantic moles into the daylight above. So deep did they +go; and so ancient, and corroded, and weedy the aspect of the lowermost +puncheons, that you almost looked next for some mouldy corner-stone +cask containing coins of Captain Noah, with copies of the posted +placards, vainly warning the infatuated old world from the flood. +Tierce after tierce, too, of water, and bread, and beef, and shooks of +staves, and iron bundles of hoops, were hoisted out, till at last the +piled decks were hard to get about; and the hollow hull echoed under +foot, as if you were treading over empty catacombs, and reeled and +rolled in the sea like an air-freighted demijohn. Top-heavy was the +ship as a dinnerless student with all Aristotle in his head. Well was +it that the Typhoons did not visit them then. + +Now, at this time it was that my poor pagan companion, and fast +bosom-friend, Queequeg, was seized with a fever, which brought him nigh +to his endless end. + +Be it said, that in this vocation of whaling, sinecures are unknown; +dignity and danger go hand in hand; till you get to be Captain, the +higher you rise the harder you toil. So with poor Queequeg, who, as +harpooneer, must not only face all the rage of the living whale, butas +we have elsewhere seenmount his dead back in a rolling sea; and +finally descend into the gloom of the hold, and bitterly sweating all +day in that subterraneous confinement, resolutely manhandle the +clumsiest casks and see to their stowage. To be short, among whalemen, +the harpooneers are the holders, so called. + +Poor Queequeg! when the ship was about half disembowelled, you should +have stooped over the hatchway, and peered down upon him there; where, +stripped to his woollen drawers, the tattooed savage was crawling about +amid that dampness and slime, like a green spotted lizard at the bottom +of a well. And a well, or an ice-house, it somehow proved to him, poor +pagan; where, strange to say, for all the heat of his sweatings, he +caught a terrible chill which lapsed into a fever; and at last, after +some days suffering, laid him in his hammock, close to the very sill +of the door of death. How he wasted and wasted away in those few +long-lingering days, till there seemed but little left of him but his +frame and tattooing. But as all else in him thinned, and his +cheek-bones grew sharper, his eyes, nevertheless, seemed growing fuller +and fuller; they became of a strange softness of lustre; and mildly but +deeply looked out at you there from his sickness, a wondrous testimony +to that immortal health in him which could not die, or be weakened. And +like circles on the water, which, as they grow fainter, expand; so his +eyes seemed rounding and rounding, like the rings of Eternity. An awe +that cannot be named would steal over you as you sat by the side of +this waning savage, and saw as strange things in his face, as any +beheld who were bystanders when Zoroaster died. For whatever is truly +wondrous and fearful in man, never yet was put into words or books. And +the drawing near of Death, which alike levels all, alike impresses all +with a last revelation, which only an author from the dead could +adequately tell. So thatlet us say it againno dying Chaldee or Greek +had higher and holier thoughts than those, whose mysterious shades you +saw creeping over the face of poor Queequeg, as he quietly lay in his +swaying hammock, and the rolling sea seemed gently rocking him to his +final rest, and the oceans invisible flood-tide lifted him higher and +higher towards his destined heaven. + +Not a man of the crew but gave him up; and, as for Queequeg himself, +what he thought of his case was forcibly shown by a curious favour he +asked. He called one to him in the grey morning watch, when the day was +just breaking, and taking his hand, said that while in Nantucket he had +chanced to see certain little canoes of dark wood, like the rich +war-wood of his native isle; and upon inquiry, he had learned that all +whalemen who died in Nantucket, were laid in those same dark canoes, +and that the fancy of being so laid had much pleased him; for it was +not unlike the custom of his own race, who, after embalming a dead +warrior, stretched him out in his canoe, and so left him to be floated +away to the starry archipelagoes; for not only do they believe that the +stars are isles, but that far beyond all visible horizons, their own +mild, uncontinented seas, interflow with the blue heavens; and so form +the white breakers of the milky way. He added, that he shuddered at the +thought of being buried in his hammock, according to the usual +sea-custom, tossed like something vile to the death-devouring sharks. +No: he desired a canoe like those of Nantucket, all the more congenial +to him, being a whaleman, that like a whale-boat these coffin-canoes +were without a keel; though that involved but uncertain steering, and +much lee-way adown the dim ages. + +Now, when this strange circumstance was made known aft, the carpenter +was at once commanded to do Queequegs bidding, whatever it might +include. There was some heathenish, coffin-coloured old lumber aboard, +which, upon a long previous voyage, had been cut from the aboriginal +groves of the Lackaday islands, and from these dark planks the coffin +was recommended to be made. No sooner was the carpenter apprised of the +order, than taking his rule, he forthwith with all the indifferent +promptitude of his character, proceeded into the forecastle and took +Queequegs measure with great accuracy, regularly chalking Queequegs +person as he shifted the rule. + +Ah! poor fellow! hell have to die now, ejaculated the Long Island +sailor. + +Going to his vice-bench, the carpenter for convenience sake and general +reference, now transferringly measured on it the exact length the +coffin was to be, and then made the transfer permanent by cutting two +notches at its extremities. This done, he marshalled the planks and his +tools, and to work. + +When the last nail was driven, and the lid duly planed and fitted, he +lightly shouldered the coffin and went forward with it, inquiring +whether they were ready for it yet in that direction. + +Overhearing the indignant but half-humorous cries with which the people +on deck began to drive the coffin away, Queequeg, to every ones +consternation, commanded that the thing should be instantly brought to +him, nor was there any denying him; seeing that, of all mortals, some +dying men are the most tyrannical; and certainly, since they will +shortly trouble us so little for evermore, the poor fellows ought to be +indulged. + +Leaning over in his hammock, Queequeg long regarded the coffin with an +attentive eye. He then called for his harpoon, had the wooden stock +drawn from it, and then had the iron part placed in the coffin along +with one of the paddles of his boat. All by his own request, also, +biscuits were then ranged round the sides within: a flask of fresh +water was placed at the head, and a small bag of woody earth scraped up +in the hold at the foot; and a piece of sail-cloth being rolled up for +a pillow, Queequeg now entreated to be lifted into his final bed, that +he might make trial of its comforts, if any it had. He lay without +moving a few minutes, then told one to go to his bag and bring out his +little god, Yojo. Then crossing his arms on his breast with Yojo +between, he called for the coffin lid (hatch he called it) to be placed +over him. The head part turned over with a leather hinge, and there lay +Queequeg in his coffin with little but his composed countenance in +view. Rarmai (it will do; it is easy), he murmured at last, and +signed to be replaced in his hammock. + +But ere this was done, Pip, who had been slily hovering near by all +this while, drew nigh to him where he lay, and with soft sobbings, took +him by the hand; in the other, holding his tambourine. + +Poor rover! will ye never have done with all this weary roving? where +go ye now? But if the currents carry ye to those sweet Antilles where +the beaches are only beat with water-lilies, will ye do one little +errand for me? Seek out one Pip, whos now been missing long: I think +hes in those far Antilles. If ye find him, then comfort him; for he +must be very sad; for look! hes left his tambourine behind;I found +it. Rig-a-dig, dig, dig! Now, Queequeg, die; and Ill beat ye your +dying march. + +I have heard, murmured Starbuck, gazing down the scuttle, that in +violent fevers, men, all ignorance, have talked in ancient tongues; and +that when the mystery is probed, it turns out always that in their +wholly forgotten childhood those ancient tongues had been really spoken +in their hearing by some lofty scholars. So, to my fond faith, poor +Pip, in this strange sweetness of his lunacy, brings heavenly vouchers +of all our heavenly homes. Where learned he that, but there?Hark! he +speaks again: but more wildly now. + +Form two and two! Lets make a General of him! Ho, wheres his +harpoon? Lay it across here.Rig-a-dig, dig, dig! huzza! Oh for a game +cock now to sit upon his head and crow! Queequeg dies game!mind ye +that; Queequeg dies game!take ye good heed of that; Queequeg dies +game! I say; game, game, game! but base little Pip, he died a coward; +died all ashiver;out upon Pip! Hark ye; if ye find Pip, tell all the +Antilles hes a runaway; a coward, a coward, a coward! Tell them he +jumped from a whale-boat! Id never beat my tambourine over base Pip, +and hail him General, if he were once more dying here. No, no! shame +upon all cowardsshame upon them! Let em go drown like Pip, that +jumped from a whale-boat. Shame! shame! + +During all this, Queequeg lay with closed eyes, as if in a dream. Pip +was led away, and the sick man was replaced in his hammock. + +But now that he had apparently made every preparation for death; now +that his coffin was proved a good fit, Queequeg suddenly rallied; soon +there seemed no need of the carpenters box: and thereupon, when some +expressed their delighted surprise, he, in substance, said, that the +cause of his sudden convalescence was this;at a critical moment, he +had just recalled a little duty ashore, which he was leaving undone; +and therefore had changed his mind about dying: he could not die yet, +he averred. They asked him, then, whether to live or die was a matter +of his own sovereign will and pleasure. He answered, certainly. In a +word, it was Queequegs conceit, that if a man made up his mind to +live, mere sickness could not kill him: nothing but a whale, or a gale, +or some violent, ungovernable, unintelligent destroyer of that sort. + +Now, there is this noteworthy difference between savage and civilized; +that while a sick, civilized man may be six months convalescing, +generally speaking, a sick savage is almost half-well again in a day. +So, in good time my Queequeg gained strength; and at length after +sitting on the windlass for a few indolent days (but eating with a +vigorous appetite) he suddenly leaped to his feet, threw out his arms +and legs, gave himself a good stretching, yawned a little bit, and then +springing into the head of his hoisted boat, and poising a harpoon, +pronounced himself fit for a fight. + +With a wild whimsiness, he now used his coffin for a sea-chest; and +emptying into it his canvas bag of clothes, set them in order there. +Many spare hours he spent, in carving the lid with all manner of +grotesque figures and drawings; and it seemed that hereby he was +striving, in his rude way, to copy parts of the twisted tattooing on +his body. And this tattooing had been the work of a departed prophet +and seer of his island, who, by those hieroglyphic marks, had written +out on his body a complete theory of the heavens and the earth, and a +mystical treatise on the art of attaining truth; so that Queequeg in +his own proper person was a riddle to unfold; a wondrous work in one +volume; but whose mysteries not even himself could read, though his own +live heart beat against them; and these mysteries were therefore +destined in the end to moulder away with the living parchment whereon +they were inscribed, and so be unsolved to the last. And this thought +it must have been which suggested to Ahab that wild exclamation of his, +when one morning turning away from surveying poor QueequegOh, +devilish tantalization of the gods! + + +CHAPTER 111. The Pacific. + +When gliding by the Bashee isles we emerged at last upon the great +South Sea; were it not for other things, I could have greeted my dear +Pacific with uncounted thanks, for now the long supplication of my +youth was answered; that serene ocean rolled eastwards from me a +thousand leagues of blue. + +There is, one knows not what sweet mystery about this sea, whose gently +awful stirrings seem to speak of some hidden soul beneath; like those +fabled undulations of the Ephesian sod over the buried Evangelist St. +John. And meet it is, that over these sea-pastures, wide-rolling watery +prairies and Potters Fields of all four continents, the waves should +rise and fall, and ebb and flow unceasingly; for here, millions of +mixed shades and shadows, drowned dreams, somnambulisms, reveries; all +that we call lives and souls, lie dreaming, dreaming, still; tossing +like slumberers in their beds; the ever-rolling waves but made so by +their restlessness. + +To any meditative Magian rover, this serene Pacific, once beheld, must +ever after be the sea of his adoption. It rolls the midmost waters of +the world, the Indian ocean and Atlantic being but its arms. The same +waves wash the moles of the new-built Californian towns, but yesterday +planted by the recentest race of men, and lave the faded but still +gorgeous skirts of Asiatic lands, older than Abraham; while all between +float milky-ways of coral isles, and low-lying, endless, unknown +Archipelagoes, and impenetrable Japans. Thus this mysterious, divine +Pacific zones the worlds whole bulk about; makes all coasts one bay to +it; seems the tide-beating heart of earth. Lifted by those eternal +swells, you needs must own the seductive god, bowing your head to Pan. + +But few thoughts of Pan stirred Ahabs brain, as standing like an iron +statue at his accustomed place beside the mizen rigging, with one +nostril he unthinkingly snuffed the sugary musk from the Bashee isles +(in whose sweet woods mild lovers must be walking), and with the other +consciously inhaled the salt breath of the new found sea; that sea in +which the hated White Whale must even then be swimming. Launched at +length upon these almost final waters, and gliding towards the Japanese +cruising-ground, the old mans purpose intensified itself. His firm +lips met like the lips of a vice; the Delta of his foreheads veins +swelled like overladen brooks; in his very sleep, his ringing cry ran +through the vaulted hull, Stern all! the White Whale spouts thick +blood! + + +CHAPTER 112. The Blacksmith. + +Availing himself of the mild, summer-cool weather that now reigned in +these latitudes, and in preparation for the peculiarly active pursuits +shortly to be anticipated, Perth, the begrimed, blistered old +blacksmith, had not removed his portable forge to the hold again, after +concluding his contributory work for Ahabs leg, but still retained it +on deck, fast lashed to ringbolts by the foremast; being now almost +incessantly invoked by the headsmen, and harpooneers, and bowsmen to do +some little job for them; altering, or repairing, or new shaping their +various weapons and boat furniture. Often he would be surrounded by an +eager circle, all waiting to be served; holding boat-spades, +pike-heads, harpoons, and lances, and jealously watching his every +sooty movement, as he toiled. Nevertheless, this old mans was a +patient hammer wielded by a patient arm. No murmur, no impatience, no +petulance did come from him. Silent, slow, and solemn; bowing over +still further his chronically broken back, he toiled away, as if toil +were life itself, and the heavy beating of his hammer the heavy beating +of his heart. And so it was.Most miserable! + +A peculiar walk in this old man, a certain slight but painful appearing +yawing in his gait, had at an early period of the voyage excited the +curiosity of the mariners. And to the importunity of their persisted +questionings he had finally given in; and so it came to pass that every +one now knew the shameful story of his wretched fate. + +Belated, and not innocently, one bitter winters midnight, on the road +running between two country towns, the blacksmith half-stupidly felt +the deadly numbness stealing over him, and sought refuge in a leaning, +dilapidated barn. The issue was, the loss of the extremities of both +feet. Out of this revelation, part by part, at last came out the four +acts of the gladness, and the one long, and as yet uncatastrophied +fifth act of the grief of his lifes drama. + +He was an old man, who, at the age of nearly sixty, had postponedly +encountered that thing in sorrows technicals called ruin. He had been +an artisan of famed excellence, and with plenty to do; owned a house +and garden; embraced a youthful, daughter-like, loving wife, and three +blithe, ruddy children; every Sunday went to a cheerful-looking church, +planted in a grove. But one night, under cover of darkness, and further +concealed in a most cunning disguisement, a desperate burglar slid into +his happy home, and robbed them all of everything. And darker yet to +tell, the blacksmith himself did ignorantly conduct this burglar into +his familys heart. It was the Bottle Conjuror! Upon the opening of +that fatal cork, forth flew the fiend, and shrivelled up his home. Now, +for prudent, most wise, and economic reasons, the blacksmiths shop was +in the basement of his dwelling, but with a separate entrance to it; so +that always had the young and loving healthy wife listened with no +unhappy nervousness, but with vigorous pleasure, to the stout ringing +of her young-armed old husbands hammer; whose reverberations, muffled +by passing through the floors and walls, came up to her, not unsweetly, +in her nursery; and so, to stout Labors iron lullaby, the blacksmiths +infants were rocked to slumber. + +Oh, woe on woe! Oh, Death, why canst thou not sometimes be timely? +Hadst thou taken this old blacksmith to thyself ere his full ruin came +upon him, then had the young widow had a delicious grief, and her +orphans a truly venerable, legendary sire to dream of in their after +years; and all of them a care-killing competency. But Death plucked +down some virtuous elder brother, on whose whistling daily toil solely +hung the responsibilities of some other family, and left the worse than +useless old man standing, till the hideous rot of life should make him +easier to harvest. + +Why tell the whole? The blows of the basement hammer every day grew +more and more between; and each blow every day grew fainter than the +last; the wife sat frozen at the window, with tearless eyes, +glitteringly gazing into the weeping faces of her children; the bellows +fell; the forge choked up with cinders; the house was sold; the mother +dived down into the long church-yard grass; her children twice followed +her thither; and the houseless, familyless old man staggered off a +vagabond in crape; his every woe unreverenced; his grey head a scorn to +flaxen curls! + +Death seems the only desirable sequel for a career like this; but Death +is only a launching into the region of the strange Untried; it is but +the first salutation to the possibilities of the immense Remote, the +Wild, the Watery, the Unshored; therefore, to the death-longing eyes of +such men, who still have left in them some interior compunctions +against suicide, does the all-contributed and all-receptive ocean +alluringly spread forth his whole plain of unimaginable, taking +terrors, and wonderful, new-life adventures; and from the hearts of +infinite Pacifics, the thousand mermaids sing to themCome hither, +broken-hearted; here is another life without the guilt of intermediate +death; here are wonders supernatural, without dying for them. Come +hither! bury thyself in a life which, to your now equally abhorred and +abhorring, landed world, is more oblivious than death. Come hither! put +up _thy_ gravestone, too, within the churchyard, and come hither, till +we marry thee! + +Hearkening to these voices, East and West, by early sunrise, and by +fall of eve, the blacksmiths soul responded, Aye, I come! And so Perth +went a-whaling. + + +CHAPTER 113. The Forge. + +With matted beard, and swathed in a bristling shark-skin apron, about +mid-day, Perth was standing between his forge and anvil, the latter +placed upon an iron-wood log, with one hand holding a pike-head in the +coals, and with the other at his forges lungs, when Captain Ahab came +along, carrying in his hand a small rusty-looking leathern bag. While +yet a little distance from the forge, moody Ahab paused; till at last, +Perth, withdrawing his iron from the fire, began hammering it upon the +anvilthe red mass sending off the sparks in thick hovering flights, +some of which flew close to Ahab. + +Are these thy Mother Careys chickens, Perth? they are always flying +in thy wake; birds of good omen, too, but not to all;look here, they +burn; but thouthou livst among them without a scorch. + +Because I am scorched all over, Captain Ahab, answered Perth, resting +for a moment on his hammer; I am past scorching; not easily canst +thou scorch a scar. + +Well, well; no more. Thy shrunk voice sounds too calmly, sanely woeful +to me. In no Paradise myself, I am impatient of all misery in others +that is not mad. Thou shouldst go mad, blacksmith; say, why dost thou +not go mad? How canst thou endure without being mad? Do the heavens +yet hate thee, that thou canst not go mad?What wert thou making +there? + +Welding an old pike-head, sir; there were seams and dents in it. + +And canst thou make it all smooth again, blacksmith, after such hard +usage as it had? + +I think so, sir. + +And I suppose thou canst smoothe almost any seams and dents; never +mind how hard the metal, blacksmith? + +Aye, sir, I think I can; all seams and dents but one. + +Look ye here, then, cried Ahab, passionately advancing, and leaning +with both hands on Perths shoulders; look ye here_here_can ye +smoothe out a seam like this, blacksmith, sweeping one hand across his +ribbed brow; if thou couldst, blacksmith, glad enough would I lay my +head upon thy anvil, and feel thy heaviest hammer between my eyes. +Answer! Canst thou smoothe this seam? + +Oh! that is the one, sir! Said I not all seams and dents but one? + +Aye, blacksmith, it is the one; aye, man, it is unsmoothable; for +though thou only seest it here in my flesh, it has worked down into +the bone of my skull_that_ is all wrinkles! But, away with childs +play; no more gaffs and pikes to-day. Look ye here! jingling the +leathern bag, as if it were full of gold coins. I, too, want a harpoon +made; one that a thousand yoke of fiends could not part, Perth; +something that will stick in a whale like his own fin-bone. Theres the +stuff, flinging the pouch upon the anvil. Look ye, blacksmith, these +are the gathered nail-stubbs of the steel shoes of racing horses. + +Horse-shoe stubbs, sir? Why, Captain Ahab, thou hast here, then, the +best and stubbornest stuff we blacksmiths ever work. + +I know it, old man; these stubbs will weld together like glue from the +melted bones of murderers. Quick! forge me the harpoon. And forge me +first, twelve rods for its shank; then wind, and twist, and hammer +these twelve together like the yarns and strands of a tow-line. Quick! +Ill blow the fire. + +When at last the twelve rods were made, Ahab tried them, one by one, by +spiralling them, with his own hand, round a long, heavy iron bolt. A +flaw! rejecting the last one. Work that over again, Perth. + +This done, Perth was about to begin welding the twelve into one, when +Ahab stayed his hand, and said he would weld his own iron. As, then, +with regular, gasping hems, he hammered on the anvil, Perth passing to +him the glowing rods, one after the other, and the hard pressed forge +shooting up its intense straight flame, the Parsee passed silently, and +bowing over his head towards the fire, seemed invoking some curse or +some blessing on the toil. But, as Ahab looked up, he slid aside. + +Whats that bunch of lucifers dodging about there for? muttered +Stubb, looking on from the forecastle. That Parsee smells fire like a +fusee; and smells of it himself, like a hot muskets powder-pan. + +At last the shank, in one complete rod, received its final heat; and as +Perth, to temper it, plunged it all hissing into the cask of water near +by, the scalding steam shot up into Ahabs bent face. + +Wouldst thou brand me, Perth? wincing for a moment with the pain; +have I been but forging my own branding-iron, then? + +Pray God, not that; yet I fear something, Captain Ahab. Is not this +harpoon for the White Whale? + +For the white fiend! But now for the barbs; thou must make them +thyself, man. Here are my razorsthe best of steel; here, and make the +barbs sharp as the needle-sleet of the Icy Sea. + +For a moment, the old blacksmith eyed the razors as though he would +fain not use them. + +Take them, man, I have no need for them; for I now neither shave, sup, +nor pray tillbut hereto work! + +Fashioned at last into an arrowy shape, and welded by Perth to the +shank, the steel soon pointed the end of the iron; and as the +blacksmith was about giving the barbs their final heat, prior to +tempering them, he cried to Ahab to place the water-cask near. + +No, nono water for that; I want it of the true death-temper. Ahoy, +there! Tashtego, Queequeg, Daggoo! What say ye, pagans! Will ye give me +as much blood as will cover this barb? holding it high up. A cluster +of dark nods replied, Yes. Three punctures were made in the heathen +flesh, and the White Whales barbs were then tempered. + +Ego non baptizo te in nomine patris, sed in nomine diaboli! +deliriously howled Ahab, as the malignant iron scorchingly devoured the +baptismal blood. + +Now, mustering the spare poles from below, and selecting one of +hickory, with the bark still investing it, Ahab fitted the end to the +socket of the iron. A coil of new tow-line was then unwound, and some +fathoms of it taken to the windlass, and stretched to a great tension. +Pressing his foot upon it, till the rope hummed like a harp-string, +then eagerly bending over it, and seeing no strandings, Ahab exclaimed, +Good! and now for the seizings. + +At one extremity the rope was unstranded, and the separate spread yarns +were all braided and woven round the socket of the harpoon; the pole +was then driven hard up into the socket; from the lower end the rope +was traced half-way along the poles length, and firmly secured so, +with intertwistings of twine. This done, pole, iron, and ropelike the +Three Fatesremained inseparable, and Ahab moodily stalked away with +the weapon; the sound of his ivory leg, and the sound of the hickory +pole, both hollowly ringing along every plank. But ere he entered his +cabin, light, unnatural, half-bantering, yet most piteous sound was +heard. Oh, Pip! thy wretched laugh, thy idle but unresting eye; all thy +strange mummeries not unmeaningly blended with the black tragedy of the +melancholy ship, and mocked it! + + +CHAPTER 114. The Gilder. + +Penetrating further and further into the heart of the Japanese cruising +ground, the Pequod was soon all astir in the fishery. Often, in mild, +pleasant weather, for twelve, fifteen, eighteen, and twenty hours on +the stretch, they were engaged in the boats, steadily pulling, or +sailing, or paddling after the whales, or for an interlude of sixty or +seventy minutes calmly awaiting their uprising; though with but small +success for their pains. + +At such times, under an abated sun; afloat all day upon smooth, slow +heaving swells; seated in his boat, light as a birch canoe; and so +sociably mixing with the soft waves themselves, that like hearth-stone +cats they purr against the gunwale; these are the times of dreamy +quietude, when beholding the tranquil beauty and brilliancy of the +oceans skin, one forgets the tiger heart that pants beneath it; and +would not willingly remember, that this velvet paw but conceals a +remorseless fang. + +These are the times, when in his whale-boat the rover softly feels a +certain filial, confident, land-like feeling towards the sea; that he +regards it as so much flowery earth; and the distant ship revealing +only the tops of her masts, seems struggling forward, not through high +rolling waves, but through the tall grass of a rolling prairie: as when +the western emigrants horses only show their erected ears, while their +hidden bodies widely wade through the amazing verdure. + +The long-drawn virgin vales; the mild blue hill-sides; as over these +there steals the hush, the hum; you almost swear that play-wearied +children lie sleeping in these solitudes, in some glad May-time, when +the flowers of the woods are plucked. And all this mixes with your most +mystic mood; so that fact and fancy, half-way meeting, interpenetrate, +and form one seamless whole. + +Nor did such soothing scenes, however temporary, fail of at least as +temporary an effect on Ahab. But if these secret golden keys did seem +to open in him his own secret golden treasuries, yet did his breath +upon them prove but tarnishing. + +Oh, grassy glades! oh, ever vernal endless landscapes in the soul; in +ye,though long parched by the dead drought of the earthy life,in ye, +men yet may roll, like young horses in new morning clover; and for some +few fleeting moments, feel the cool dew of the life immortal on them. +Would to God these blessed calms would last. But the mingled, mingling +threads of life are woven by warp and woof: calms crossed by storms, a +storm for every calm. There is no steady unretracing progress in this +life; we do not advance through fixed gradations, and at the last one +pause:through infancys unconscious spell, boyhoods thoughtless +faith, adolescence doubt (the common doom), then scepticism, then +disbelief, resting at last in manhoods pondering repose of If. But +once gone through, we trace the round again; and are infants, boys, and +men, and Ifs eternally. Where lies the final harbor, whence we unmoor +no more? In what rapt ether sails the world, of which the weariest will +never weary? Where is the foundlings father hidden? Our souls are like +those orphans whose unwedded mothers die in bearing them: the secret of +our paternity lies in their grave, and we must there to learn it. + +And that same day, too, gazing far down from his boats side into that +same golden sea, Starbuck lowly murmured: + +Loveliness unfathomable, as ever lover saw in his young brides +eye!Tell me not of thy teeth-tiered sharks, and thy kidnapping +cannibal ways. Let faith oust fact; let fancy oust memory; I look deep +down and do believe. + +And Stubb, fish-like, with sparkling scales, leaped up in that same +golden light: + +I am Stubb, and Stubb has his history; but here Stubb takes oaths that +he has always been jolly! + + +CHAPTER 115. The Pequod Meets The Bachelor. + +And jolly enough were the sights and the sounds that came bearing down +before the wind, some few weeks after Ahabs harpoon had been welded. + +It was a Nantucket ship, the Bachelor, which had just wedged in her +last cask of oil, and bolted down her bursting hatches; and now, in +glad holiday apparel, was joyously, though somewhat vain-gloriously, +sailing round among the widely-separated ships on the ground, previous +to pointing her prow for home. + +The three men at her mast-head wore long streamers of narrow red +bunting at their hats; from the stern, a whale-boat was suspended, +bottom down; and hanging captive from the bowsprit was seen the long +lower jaw of the last whale they had slain. Signals, ensigns, and jacks +of all colours were flying from her rigging, on every side. Sideways +lashed in each of her three basketed tops were two barrels of sperm; +above which, in her top-mast cross-trees, you saw slender breakers of +the same precious fluid; and nailed to her main truck was a brazen +lamp. + +As was afterwards learned, the Bachelor had met with the most +surprising success; all the more wonderful, for that while cruising in +the same seas numerous other vessels had gone entire months without +securing a single fish. Not only had barrels of beef and bread been +given away to make room for the far more valuable sperm, but additional +supplemental casks had been bartered for, from the ships she had met; +and these were stowed along the deck, and in the captains and +officers state-rooms. Even the cabin table itself had been knocked +into kindling-wood; and the cabin mess dined off the broad head of an +oil-butt, lashed down to the floor for a centrepiece. In the +forecastle, the sailors had actually caulked and pitched their chests, +and filled them; it was humorously added, that the cook had clapped a +head on his largest boiler, and filled it; that the steward had plugged +his spare coffee-pot and filled it; that the harpooneers had headed the +sockets of their irons and filled them; that indeed everything was +filled with sperm, except the captains pantaloons pockets, and those +he reserved to thrust his hands into, in self-complacent testimony of +his entire satisfaction. + +As this glad ship of good luck bore down upon the moody Pequod, the +barbarian sound of enormous drums came from her forecastle; and drawing +still nearer, a crowd of her men were seen standing round her huge +try-pots, which, covered with the parchment-like _poke_ or stomach skin +of the black fish, gave forth a loud roar to every stroke of the +clenched hands of the crew. On the quarter-deck, the mates and +harpooneers were dancing with the olive-hued girls who had eloped with +them from the Polynesian Isles; while suspended in an ornamented boat, +firmly secured aloft between the foremast and mainmast, three Long +Island negroes, with glittering fiddle-bows of whale ivory, were +presiding over the hilarious jig. Meanwhile, others of the ships +company were tumultuously busy at the masonry of the try-works, from +which the huge pots had been removed. You would have almost thought +they were pulling down the cursed Bastille, such wild cries they +raised, as the now useless brick and mortar were being hurled into the +sea. + +Lord and master over all this scene, the captain stood erect on the +ships elevated quarter-deck, so that the whole rejoicing drama was +full before him, and seemed merely contrived for his own individual +diversion. + +And Ahab, he too was standing on his quarter-deck, shaggy and black, +with a stubborn gloom; and as the two ships crossed each others +wakesone all jubilations for things passed, the other all forebodings +as to things to cometheir two captains in themselves impersonated the +whole striking contrast of the scene. + +Come aboard, come aboard! cried the gay Bachelors commander, lifting +a glass and a bottle in the air. + +Hast seen the White Whale? gritted Ahab in reply. + +No; only heard of him; but dont believe in him at all, said the +other good-humoredly. Come aboard! + +Thou art too damned jolly. Sail on. Hast lost any men? + +Not enough to speak oftwo islanders, thats all;but come aboard, old +hearty, come along. Ill soon take that black from your brow. Come +along, will ye (merrys the play); a full ship and homeward-bound. + +How wondrous familiar is a fool! muttered Ahab; then aloud, Thou art +a full ship and homeward bound, thou sayst; well, then, call me an +empty ship, and outward-bound. So go thy ways, and I will mine. Forward +there! Set all sail, and keep her to the wind! + +And thus, while the one ship went cheerily before the breeze, the other +stubbornly fought against it; and so the two vessels parted; the crew +of the Pequod looking with grave, lingering glances towards the +receding Bachelor; but the Bachelors men never heeding their gaze for +the lively revelry they were in. And as Ahab, leaning over the +taffrail, eyed the homeward-bound craft, he took from his pocket a +small vial of sand, and then looking from the ship to the vial, seemed +thereby bringing two remote associations together, for that vial was +filled with Nantucket soundings. + + +CHAPTER 116. The Dying Whale. + +Not seldom in this life, when, on the right side, fortunes favourites +sail close by us, we, though all adroop before, catch somewhat of the +rushing breeze, and joyfully feel our bagging sails fill out. So seemed +it with the Pequod. For next day after encountering the gay Bachelor, +whales were seen and four were slain; and one of them by Ahab. + +It was far down the afternoon; and when all the spearings of the +crimson fight were done: and floating in the lovely sunset sea and sky, +sun and whale both stilly died together; then, such a sweetness and +such plaintiveness, such inwreathing orisons curled up in that rosy +air, that it almost seemed as if far over from the deep green convent +valleys of the Manilla isles, the Spanish land-breeze, wantonly turned +sailor, had gone to sea, freighted with these vesper hymns. + +Soothed again, but only soothed to deeper gloom, Ahab, who had sterned +off from the whale, sat intently watching his final wanings from the +now tranquil boat. For that strange spectacle observable in all sperm +whales dyingthe turning sunwards of the head, and so expiringthat +strange spectacle, beheld of such a placid evening, somehow to Ahab +conveyed a wondrousness unknown before. + +He turns and turns him to it,how slowly, but how steadfastly, his +homage-rendering and invoking brow, with his last dying motions. He too +worships fire; most faithful, broad, baronial vassal of the sun!Oh +that these too-favouring eyes should see these too-favouring sights. +Look! here, far water-locked; beyond all hum of human weal or woe; in +these most candid and impartial seas; where to traditions no rocks +furnish tablets; where for long Chinese ages, the billows have still +rolled on speechless and unspoken to, as stars that shine upon the +Nigers unknown source; here, too, life dies sunwards full of faith; +but see! no sooner dead, than death whirls round the corpse, and it +heads some other way. + +Oh, thou dark Hindoo half of nature, who of drowned bones hast builded +thy separate throne somewhere in the heart of these unverdured seas; +thou art an infidel, thou queen, and too truly speakest to me in the +wide-slaughtering Typhoon, and the hushed burial of its after calm. Nor +has this thy whale sunwards turned his dying head, and then gone round +again, without a lesson to me. + +Oh, trebly hooped and welded hip of power! Oh, high aspiring, +rainbowed jet!that one strivest, this one jettest all in vain! In +vain, oh whale, dost thou seek intercedings with yon all-quickening +sun, that only calls forth life, but gives it not again. Yet dost thou, +darker half, rock me with a prouder, if a darker faith. All thy +unnamable imminglings float beneath me here; I am buoyed by breaths of +once living things, exhaled as air, but water now. + +Then hail, for ever hail, O sea, in whose eternal tossings the wild +fowl finds his only rest. Born of earth, yet suckled by the sea; though +hill and valley mothered me, ye billows are my foster-brothers! + + +CHAPTER 117. The Whale Watch. + +The four whales slain that evening had died wide apart; one, far to +windward; one, less distant, to leeward; one ahead; one astern. These +last three were brought alongside ere nightfall; but the windward one +could not be reached till morning; and the boat that had killed it lay +by its side all night; and that boat was Ahabs. + +The waif-pole was thrust upright into the dead whales spout-hole; and +the lantern hanging from its top, cast a troubled flickering glare upon +the black, glossy back, and far out upon the midnight waves, which +gently chafed the whales broad flank, like soft surf upon a beach. + +Ahab and all his boats crew seemed asleep but the Parsee; who +crouching in the bow, sat watching the sharks, that spectrally played +round the whale, and tapped the light cedar planks with their tails. A +sound like the moaning in squadrons over Asphaltites of unforgiven +ghosts of Gomorrah, ran shuddering through the air. + +Started from his slumbers, Ahab, face to face, saw the Parsee; and +hooped round by the gloom of the night they seemed the last men in a +flooded world. I have dreamed it again, said he. + +Of the hearses? Have I not said, old man, that neither hearse nor +coffin can be thine? + +And who are hearsed that die on the sea? + +But I said, old man, that ere thou couldst die on this voyage, two +hearses must verily be seen by thee on the sea; the first not made by +mortal hands; and the visible wood of the last one must be grown in +America. + +Aye, aye! a strange sight that, Parsee:a hearse and its plumes +floating over the ocean with the waves for the pall-bearers. Ha! Such a +sight we shall not soon see. + +Believe it or not, thou canst not die till it be seen, old man. + +And what was that saying about thyself? + +Though it come to the last, I shall still go before thee thy pilot. + +And when thou art so gone beforeif that ever befallthen ere I can +follow, thou must still appear to me, to pilot me still?Was it not so? +Well, then, did I believe all ye say, oh my pilot! I have here two +pledges that I shall yet slay Moby Dick and survive it. + +Take another pledge, old man, said the Parsee, as his eyes lighted up +like fire-flies in the gloomHemp only can kill thee. + +The gallows, ye mean.I am immortal then, on land and on sea, cried +Ahab, with a laugh of derision;Immortal on land and on sea! + +Both were silent again, as one man. The grey dawn came on, and the +slumbering crew arose from the boats bottom, and ere noon the dead +whale was brought to the ship. + + +CHAPTER 118. The Quadrant. + +The season for the Line at length drew near; and every day when Ahab, +coming from his cabin, cast his eyes aloft, the vigilant helmsman would +ostentatiously handle his spokes, and the eager mariners quickly run to +the braces, and would stand there with all their eyes centrally fixed +on the nailed doubloon; impatient for the order to point the ships +prow for the equator. In good time the order came. It was hard upon +high noon; and Ahab, seated in the bows of his high-hoisted boat, was +about taking his wonted daily observation of the sun to determine his +latitude. + +Now, in that Japanese sea, the days in summer are as freshets of +effulgences. That unblinkingly vivid Japanese sun seems the blazing +focus of the glassy oceans immeasurable burning-glass. The sky looks +lacquered; clouds there are none; the horizon floats; and this +nakedness of unrelieved radiance is as the insufferable splendors of +Gods throne. Well that Ahabs quadrant was furnished with coloured +glasses, through which to take sight of that solar fire. So, swinging +his seated form to the roll of the ship, and with his +astrological-looking instrument placed to his eye, he remained in that +posture for some moments to catch the precise instant when the sun +should gain its precise meridian. Meantime while his whole attention +was absorbed, the Parsee was kneeling beneath him on the ships deck, +and with face thrown up like Ahabs, was eyeing the same sun with him; +only the lids of his eyes half hooded their orbs, and his wild face was +subdued to an earthly passionlessness. At length the desired +observation was taken; and with his pencil upon his ivory leg, Ahab +soon calculated what his latitude must be at that precise instant. Then +falling into a moments revery, he again looked up towards the sun and +murmured to himself: Thou sea-mark! thou high and mighty Pilot! thou +tellest me truly where I _am_but canst thou cast the least hint where +I _shall_ be? Or canst thou tell where some other thing besides me is +this moment living? Where is Moby Dick? This instant thou must be +eyeing him. These eyes of mine look into the very eye that is even now +beholding him; aye, and into the eye that is even now equally beholding +the objects on the unknown, thither side of thee, thou sun! + +Then gazing at his quadrant, and handling, one after the other, its +numerous cabalistical contrivances, he pondered again, and muttered: +Foolish toy! babies plaything of haughty Admirals, and Commodores, +and Captains; the world brags of thee, of thy cunning and might; but +what after all canst thou do, but tell the poor, pitiful point, where +thou thyself happenest to be on this wide planet, and the hand that +holds thee: no! not one jot more! Thou canst not tell where one drop of +water or one grain of sand will be to-morrow noon; and yet with thy +impotence thou insultest the sun! Science! Curse thee, thou vain toy; +and cursed be all the things that cast mans eyes aloft to that heaven, +whose live vividness but scorches him, as these old eyes are even now +scorched with thy light, O sun! Level by nature to this earths horizon +are the glances of mans eyes; not shot from the crown of his head, as +if God had meant him to gaze on his firmament. Curse thee, thou +quadrant! dashing it to the deck, no longer will I guide my earthly +way by thee; the level ships compass, and the level dead-reckoning, by +log and by line; _these_ shall conduct me, and show me my place on the +sea. Aye, lighting from the boat to the deck, thus I trample on thee, +thou paltry thing that feebly pointest on high; thus I split and +destroy thee! + +As the frantic old man thus spoke and thus trampled with his live and +dead feet, a sneering triumph that seemed meant for Ahab, and a +fatalistic despair that seemed meant for himselfthese passed over the +mute, motionless Parsees face. Unobserved he rose and glided away; +while, awestruck by the aspect of their commander, the seamen clustered +together on the forecastle, till Ahab, troubledly pacing the deck, +shouted outTo the braces! Up helm!square in! + +In an instant the yards swung round; and as the ship half-wheeled upon +her heel, her three firm-seated graceful masts erectly poised upon her +long, ribbed hull, seemed as the three Horatii pirouetting on one +sufficient steed. + +Standing between the knight-heads, Starbuck watched the Pequods +tumultuous way, and Ahabs also, as he went lurching along the deck. + +I have sat before the dense coal fire and watched it all aglow, full +of its tormented flaming life; and I have seen it wane at last, down, +down, to dumbest dust. Old man of oceans! of all this fiery life of +thine, what will at length remain but one little heap of ashes! + +Aye, cried Stubb, but sea-coal ashesmind ye that, Mr. +Starbucksea-coal, not your common charcoal. Well, well; I heard Ahab +mutter, Here some one thrusts these cards into these old hands of +mine; swears that I must play them, and no others. And damn me, Ahab, +but thou actest right; live in the game, and die in it! + + +CHAPTER 119. The Candles. + +Warmest climes but nurse the cruellest fangs: the tiger of Bengal +crouches in spiced groves of ceaseless verdure. Skies the most +effulgent but basket the deadliest thunders: gorgeous Cuba knows +tornadoes that never swept tame northern lands. So, too, it is, that in +these resplendent Japanese seas the mariner encounters the direst of +all storms, the Typhoon. It will sometimes burst from out that +cloudless sky, like an exploding bomb upon a dazed and sleepy town. + +Towards evening of that day, the Pequod was torn of her canvas, and +bare-poled was left to fight a Typhoon which had struck her directly +ahead. When darkness came on, sky and sea roared and split with the +thunder, and blazed with the lightning, that showed the disabled masts +fluttering here and there with the rags which the first fury of the +tempest had left for its after sport. + +Holding by a shroud, Starbuck was standing on the quarter-deck; at +every flash of the lightning glancing aloft, to see what additional +disaster might have befallen the intricate hamper there; while Stubb +and Flask were directing the men in the higher hoisting and firmer +lashing of the boats. But all their pains seemed naught. Though lifted +to the very top of the cranes, the windward quarter boat (Ahabs) did +not escape. A great rolling sea, dashing high up against the reeling +ships high teetering side, stove in the boats bottom at the stern, +and left it again, all dripping through like a sieve. + +Bad work, bad work! Mr. Starbuck, said Stubb, regarding the wreck, +but the sea will have its way. Stubb, for one, cant fight it. You +see, Mr. Starbuck, a wave has such a great long start before it leaps, +all round the world it runs, and then comes the spring! But as for me, +all the start I have to meet it, is just across the deck here. But +never mind; its all in fun: so the old song says;(_sings_.) + + + Oh! jolly is the gale, And a joker is the whale, A flourishin his + tail, Such a funny, sporty, gamy, jesty, joky, hoky-poky lad, is the + Ocean, oh! + + The scud all a flyin, Thats his flip only foamin; When he stirs in + the spicin, Such a funny, sporty, gamy, jesty, joky, hoky-poky lad, + is the Ocean, oh! + + Thunder splits the ships, But he only smacks his lips, A tastin of + this flip, Such a funny, sporty, gamy, jesty, joky, hoky-poky lad, + is the Ocean, oh! + + + +Avast Stubb, cried Starbuck, let the Typhoon sing, and strike his +harp here in our rigging; but if thou art a brave man thou wilt hold +thy peace. + +But I am not a brave man; never said I was a brave man; I am a coward; +and I sing to keep up my spirits. And I tell you what it is, Mr. +Starbuck, theres no way to stop my singing in this world but to cut my +throat. And when thats done, ten to one I sing ye the doxology for a +wind-up. + +Madman! look through my eyes if thou hast none of thine own. + +What! how can you see better of a dark night than anybody else, never +mind how foolish? + +Here! cried Starbuck, seizing Stubb by the shoulder, and pointing his +hand towards the weather bow, markest thou not that the gale comes +from the eastward, the very course Ahab is to run for Moby Dick? the +very course he swung to this day noon? now mark his boat there; where +is that stove? In the stern-sheets, man; where he is wont to standhis +stand-point is stove, man! Now jump overboard, and sing away, if thou +must! + +I dont half understand ye: whats in the wind? + +Yes, yes, round the Cape of Good Hope is the shortest way to +Nantucket, soliloquized Starbuck suddenly, heedless of Stubbs +question. The gale that now hammers at us to stave us, we can turn it +into a fair wind that will drive us towards home. Yonder, to windward, +all is blackness of doom; but to leeward, homewardI see it lightens up +there; but not with the lightning. + +At that moment in one of the intervals of profound darkness, following +the flashes, a voice was heard at his side; and almost at the same +instant a volley of thunder peals rolled overhead. + +Whos there? + +Old Thunder! said Ahab, groping his way along the bulwarks to his +pivot-hole; but suddenly finding his path made plain to him by elbowed +lances of fire. + +Now, as the lightning rod to a spire on shore is intended to carry off +the perilous fluid into the soil; so the kindred rod which at sea some +ships carry to each mast, is intended to conduct it into the water. But +as this conductor must descend to considerable depth, that its end may +avoid all contact with the hull; and as moreover, if kept constantly +towing there, it would be liable to many mishaps, besides interfering +not a little with some of the rigging, and more or less impeding the +vessels way in the water; because of all this, the lower parts of a +ships lightning-rods are not always overboard; but are generally made +in long slender links, so as to be the more readily hauled up into the +chains outside, or thrown down into the sea, as occasion may require. + +The rods! the rods! cried Starbuck to the crew, suddenly admonished +to vigilance by the vivid lightning that had just been darting +flambeaux, to light Ahab to his post. Are they overboard? drop them +over, fore and aft. Quick! + +Avast! cried Ahab; lets have fair play here, though we be the +weaker side. Yet Ill contribute to raise rods on the Himmalehs and +Andes, that all the world may be secured; but out on privileges! Let +them be, sir. + +Look aloft! cried Starbuck. The corpusants! the corpusants! + +All the yard-arms were tipped with a pallid fire; and touched at each +tri-pointed lightning-rod-end with three tapering white flames, each of +the three tall masts was silently burning in that sulphurous air, like +three gigantic wax tapers before an altar. + +Blast the boat! let it go! cried Stubb at this instant, as a swashing +sea heaved up under his own little craft, so that its gunwale violently +jammed his hand, as he was passing a lashing. Blast it!but slipping +backward on the deck, his uplifted eyes caught the flames; and +immediately shifting his tone he criedThe corpusants have mercy on us +all! + +To sailors, oaths are household words; they will swear in the trance of +the calm, and in the teeth of the tempest; they will imprecate curses +from the topsail-yard-arms, when most they teeter over to a seething +sea; but in all my voyagings, seldom have I heard a common oath when +Gods burning finger has been laid on the ship; when His Mene, Mene, +Tekel Upharsin has been woven into the shrouds and the cordage. + +While this pallidness was burning aloft, few words were heard from the +enchanted crew; who in one thick cluster stood on the forecastle, all +their eyes gleaming in that pale phosphorescence, like a far away +constellation of stars. Relieved against the ghostly light, the +gigantic jet negro, Daggoo, loomed up to thrice his real stature, and +seemed the black cloud from which the thunder had come. The parted +mouth of Tashtego revealed his shark-white teeth, which strangely +gleamed as if they too had been tipped by corpusants; while lit up by +the preternatural light, Queequegs tattooing burned like Satanic blue +flames on his body. + +The tableau all waned at last with the pallidness aloft; and once more +the Pequod and every soul on her decks were wrapped in a pall. A moment +or two passed, when Starbuck, going forward, pushed against some one. +It was Stubb. What thinkest thou now, man; I heard thy cry; it was not +the same in the song. + +No, no, it wasnt; I said the corpusants have mercy on us all; and I +hope they will, still. But do they only have mercy on long faces?have +they no bowels for a laugh? And look ye, Mr. Starbuckbut its too dark +to look. Hear me, then: I take that mast-head flame we saw for a sign +of good luck; for those masts are rooted in a hold that is going to be +chock a block with sperm-oil, dye see; and so, all that sperm will +work up into the masts, like sap in a tree. Yes, our three masts will +yet be as three spermaceti candlesthats the good promise we saw. + +At that moment Starbuck caught sight of Stubbs face slowly beginning +to glimmer into sight. Glancing upwards, he cried: See! see! and once +more the high tapering flames were beheld with what seemed redoubled +supernaturalness in their pallor. + +The corpusants have mercy on us all, cried Stubb, again. + +At the base of the mainmast, full beneath the doubloon and the flame, +the Parsee was kneeling in Ahabs front, but with his head bowed away +from him; while near by, from the arched and overhanging rigging, where +they had just been engaged securing a spar, a number of the seamen, +arrested by the glare, now cohered together, and hung pendulous, like a +knot of numbed wasps from a drooping, orchard twig. In various +enchanted attitudes, like the standing, or stepping, or running +skeletons in Herculaneum, others remained rooted to the deck; but all +their eyes upcast. + +Aye, aye, men! cried Ahab. Look up at it; mark it well; the white +flame but lights the way to the White Whale! Hand me those mainmast +links there; I would fain feel this pulse, and let mine beat against +it; blood against fire! So. + +Then turningthe last link held fast in his left hand, he put his foot +upon the Parsee; and with fixed upward eye, and high-flung right arm, +he stood erect before the lofty tri-pointed trinity of flames. + +Oh! thou clear spirit of clear fire, whom on these seas I as Persian +once did worship, till in the sacramental act so burned by thee, that +to this hour I bear the scar; I now know thee, thou clear spirit, and I +now know that thy right worship is defiance. To neither love nor +reverence wilt thou be kind; and een for hate thou canst but kill; and +all are killed. No fearless fool now fronts thee. I own thy speechless, +placeless power; but to the last gasp of my earthquake life will +dispute its unconditional, unintegral mastery in me. In the midst of +the personified impersonal, a personality stands here. Though but a +point at best; whencesoeer I came; wheresoeer I go; yet while I +earthly live, the queenly personality lives in me, and feels her royal +rights. But war is pain, and hate is woe. Come in thy lowest form of +love, and I will kneel and kiss thee; but at thy highest, come as mere +supernal power; and though thou launchest navies of full-freighted +worlds, theres that in here that still remains indifferent. Oh, thou +clear spirit, of thy fire thou madest me, and like a true child of +fire, I breathe it back to thee. + +[_Sudden, repeated flashes of lightning; the nine flames leap +lengthwise to thrice their previous height; Ahab, with the rest, closes +his eyes, his right hand pressed hard upon them._] + +I own thy speechless, placeless power; said I not so? Nor was it wrung +from me; nor do I now drop these links. Thou canst blind; but I can +then grope. Thou canst consume; but I can then be ashes. Take the +homage of these poor eyes, and shutter-hands. I would not take it. The +lightning flashes through my skull; mine eye-balls ache and ache; my +whole beaten brain seems as beheaded, and rolling on some stunning +ground. Oh, oh! Yet blindfold, yet will I talk to thee. Light though +thou be, thou leapest out of darkness; but I am darkness leaping out of +light, leaping out of thee! The javelins cease; open eyes; see, or not? +There burn the flames! Oh, thou magnanimous! now I do glory in my +genealogy. But thou art but my fiery father; my sweet mother, I know +not. Oh, cruel! what hast thou done with her? There lies my puzzle; but +thine is greater. Thou knowest not how came ye, hence callest thyself +unbegotten; certainly knowest not thy beginning, hence callest thyself +unbegun. I know that of me, which thou knowest not of thyself, oh, thou +omnipotent. There is some unsuffusing thing beyond thee, thou clear +spirit, to whom all thy eternity is but time, all thy creativeness +mechanical. Through thee, thy flaming self, my scorched eyes do dimly +see it. Oh, thou foundling fire, thou hermit immemorial, thou too hast +thy incommunicable riddle, thy unparticipated grief. Here again with +haughty agony, I read my sire. Leap! leap up, and lick the sky! I leap +with thee; I burn with thee; would fain be welded with thee; defyingly +I worship thee! + +The boat! the boat! cried Starbuck, look at thy boat, old man! + +Ahabs harpoon, the one forged at Perths fire, remained firmly lashed +in its conspicuous crotch, so that it projected beyond his whale-boats +bow; but the sea that had stove its bottom had caused the loose leather +sheath to drop off; and from the keen steel barb there now came a +levelled flame of pale, forked fire. As the silent harpoon burned there +like a serpents tongue, Starbuck grasped Ahab by the armGod, God is +against thee, old man; forbear! tis an ill voyage! ill begun, ill +continued; let me square the yards, while we may, old man, and make a +fair wind of it homewards, to go on a better voyage than this. + +Overhearing Starbuck, the panic-stricken crew instantly ran to the +bracesthough not a sail was left aloft. For the moment all the aghast +mates thoughts seemed theirs; they raised a half mutinous cry. But +dashing the rattling lightning links to the deck, and snatching the +burning harpoon, Ahab waved it like a torch among them; swearing to +transfix with it the first sailor that but cast loose a ropes end. +Petrified by his aspect, and still more shrinking from the fiery dart +that he held, the men fell back in dismay, and Ahab again spoke: + +All your oaths to hunt the White Whale are as binding as mine; and +heart, soul, and body, lungs and life, old Ahab is bound. And that ye +may know to what tune this heart beats; look ye here; thus I blow out +the last fear! And with one blast of his breath he extinguished the +flame. + +As in the hurricane that sweeps the plain, men fly the neighborhood of +some lone, gigantic elm, whose very height and strength but render it +so much the more unsafe, because so much the more a mark for +thunderbolts; so at those last words of Ahabs many of the mariners did +run from him in a terror of dismay. + + +CHAPTER 120. The Deck Towards the End of the First Night Watch. + +_Ahab standing by the helm. Starbuck approaching him._ + +We must send down the main-top-sail yard, sir. The band is working +loose and the lee lift is half-stranded. Shall I strike it, sir? + +Strike nothing; lash it. If I had sky-sail poles, Id sway them up +now. + +Sir!in Gods name!sir? + +Well. + +The anchors are working, sir. Shall I get them inboard? + +Strike nothing, and stir nothing, but lash everything. The wind rises, +but it has not got up to my table-lands yet. Quick, and see to it.By +masts and keels! he takes me for the hunch-backed skipper of some +coasting smack. Send down my main-top-sail yard! Ho, gluepots! Loftiest +trucks were made for wildest winds, and this brain-truck of mine now +sails amid the cloud-scud. Shall I strike that? Oh, none but cowards +send down their brain-trucks in tempest time. What a hooroosh aloft +there! I would een take it for sublime, did I not know that the colic +is a noisy malady. Oh, take medicine, take medicine! + + +CHAPTER 121. Midnight.The Forecastle Bulwarks. + +_Stubb and Flask mounted on them, and passing additional lashings over +the anchors there hanging._ + +No, Stubb; you may pound that knot there as much as you please, but +you will never pound into me what you were just now saying. And how +long ago is it since you said the very contrary? Didnt you once say +that whatever ship Ahab sails in, that ship should pay something extra +on its insurance policy, just as though it were loaded with powder +barrels aft and boxes of lucifers forward? Stop, now; didnt you say +so? + +Well, suppose I did? What then? Ive part changed my flesh since that +time, why not my mind? Besides, supposing we _are_ loaded with powder +barrels aft and lucifers forward; how the devil could the lucifers get +afire in this drenching spray here? Why, my little man, you have pretty +red hair, but you couldnt get afire now. Shake yourself; youre +Aquarius, or the water-bearer, Flask; might fill pitchers at your coat +collar. Dont you see, then, that for these extra risks the Marine +Insurance companies have extra guarantees? Here are hydrants, Flask. +But hark, again, and Ill answer ye the other thing. First take your +leg off from the crown of the anchor here, though, so I can pass the +rope; now listen. Whats the mighty difference between holding a masts +lightning-rod in the storm, and standing close by a mast that hasnt +got any lightning-rod at all in a storm? Dont you see, you +timber-head, that no harm can come to the holder of the rod, unless the +mast is first struck? What are you talking about, then? Not one ship in +a hundred carries rods, and Ahab,aye, man, and all of us,were in no +more danger then, in my poor opinion, than all the crews in ten +thousand ships now sailing the seas. Why, you King-Post, you, I suppose +you would have every man in the world go about with a small +lightning-rod running up the corner of his hat, like a militia +officers skewered feather, and trailing behind like his sash. Why +dont ye be sensible, Flask? its easy to be sensible; why dont ye, +then? any man with half an eye can be sensible. + +I dont know that, Stubb. You sometimes find it rather hard. + +Yes, when a fellows soaked through, its hard to be sensible, thats +a fact. And I am about drenched with this spray. Never mind; catch the +turn there, and pass it. Seems to me we are lashing down these anchors +now as if they were never going to be used again. Tying these two +anchors here, Flask, seems like tying a mans hands behind him. And +what big generous hands they are, to be sure. These are your iron +fists, hey? What a hold they have, too! I wonder, Flask, whether the +world is anchored anywhere; if she is, she swings with an uncommon long +cable, though. There, hammer that knot down, and weve done. So; next +to touching land, lighting on deck is the most satisfactory. I say, +just wring out my jacket skirts, will ye? Thank ye. They laugh at +long-togs so, Flask; but seems to me, a long tailed coat ought always +to be worn in all storms afloat. The tails tapering down that way, +serve to carry off the water, dye see. Same with cocked hats; the +cocks form gable-end eave-troughs, Flask. No more monkey-jackets and +tarpaulins for me; I must mount a swallow-tail, and drive down a +beaver; so. Halloa! whew! there goes my tarpaulin overboard; Lord, +Lord, that the winds that come from heaven should be so unmannerly! +This is a nasty night, lad. + + +CHAPTER 122. Midnight Aloft.Thunder and Lightning. + +_The main-top-sail yard_._Tashtego passing new lashings around it_. + +Um, um, um. Stop that thunder! Plenty too much thunder up here. Whats +the use of thunder? Um, um, um. We dont want thunder; we want rum; +give us a glass of rum. Um, um, um! + + +CHAPTER 123. The Musket. + +During the most violent shocks of the Typhoon, the man at the Pequods +jaw-bone tiller had several times been reelingly hurled to the deck by +its spasmodic motions, even though preventer tackles had been attached +to itfor they were slackbecause some play to the tiller was +indispensable. + +In a severe gale like this, while the ship is but a tossed shuttlecock +to the blast, it is by no means uncommon to see the needles in the +compasses, at intervals, go round and round. It was thus with the +Pequods; at almost every shock the helmsman had not failed to notice +the whirling velocity with which they revolved upon the cards; it is a +sight that hardly anyone can behold without some sort of unwonted +emotion. + +Some hours after midnight, the Typhoon abated so much, that through the +strenuous exertions of Starbuck and Stubbone engaged forward and the +other aftthe shivered remnants of the jib and fore and main-top-sails +were cut adrift from the spars, and went eddying away to leeward, like +the feathers of an albatross, which sometimes are cast to the winds +when that storm-tossed bird is on the wing. + +The three corresponding new sails were now bent and reefed, and a +storm-trysail was set further aft; so that the ship soon went through +the water with some precision again; and the coursefor the present, +East-south-eastwhich he was to steer, if practicable, was once more +given to the helmsman. For during the violence of the gale, he had only +steered according to its vicissitudes. But as he was now bringing the +ship as near her course as possible, watching the compass meanwhile, +lo! a good sign! the wind seemed coming round astern; aye, the foul +breeze became fair! + +Instantly the yards were squared, to the lively song of _Ho! the fair +wind! oh-ye-ho, cheerly men!_ the crew singing for joy, that so +promising an event should so soon have falsified the evil portents +preceding it. + +In compliance with the standing order of his commanderto report +immediately, and at any one of the twenty-four hours, any decided +change in the affairs of the deck,Starbuck had no sooner trimmed the +yards to the breezehowever reluctantly and gloomily,than he +mechanically went below to apprise Captain Ahab of the circumstance. + +Ere knocking at his state-room, he involuntarily paused before it a +moment. The cabin lamptaking long swings this way and thatwas burning +fitfully, and casting fitful shadows upon the old mans bolted door,a +thin one, with fixed blinds inserted, in place of upper panels. The +isolated subterraneousness of the cabin made a certain humming silence +to reign there, though it was hooped round by all the roar of the +elements. The loaded muskets in the rack were shiningly revealed, as +they stood upright against the forward bulkhead. Starbuck was an +honest, upright man; but out of Starbucks heart, at that instant when +he saw the muskets, there strangely evolved an evil thought; but so +blent with its neutral or good accompaniments that for the instant he +hardly knew it for itself. + +He would have shot me once, he murmured, yes, theres the very +musket that he pointed at me;that one with the studded stock; let me +touch itlift it. Strange, that I, who have handled so many deadly +lances, strange, that I should shake so now. Loaded? I must see. Aye, +aye; and powder in the pan;thats not good. Best spill it?wait. Ill +cure myself of this. Ill hold the musket boldly while I think.I come +to report a fair wind to him. But how fair? Fair for death and +doom,_thats_ fair for Moby Dick. Its a fair wind thats only fair +for that accursed fish.The very tube he pointed at me!the very one; +_this_ oneI hold it here; he would have killed me with the very thing +I handle now.Aye and he would fain kill all his crew. Does he not say +he will not strike his spars to any gale? Has he not dashed his +heavenly quadrant? and in these same perilous seas, gropes he not his +way by mere dead reckoning of the error-abounding log? and in this very +Typhoon, did he not swear that he would have no lightning-rods? But +shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ships +company down to doom with him?Yes, it would make him the wilful +murderer of thirty men and more, if this ship come to any deadly harm; +and come to deadly harm, my soul swears this ship will, if Ahab have +his way. If, then, he were this instantput aside, that crime would not +be his. Ha! is he muttering in his sleep? Yes, just there,in there, +hes sleeping. Sleeping? aye, but still alive, and soon awake again. I +cant withstand thee, then, old man. Not reasoning; not remonstrance; +not entreaty wilt thou hearken to; all this thou scornest. Flat +obedience to thy own flat commands, this is all thou breathest. Aye, +and sayst the men have vowd thy vow; sayst all of us are Ahabs. +Great God forbid!But is there no other way? no lawful way?Make him a +prisoner to be taken home? What! hope to wrest this old mans living +power from his own living hands? Only a fool would try it. Say he were +pinioned even; knotted all over with ropes and hawsers; chained down to +ring-bolts on this cabin floor; he would be more hideous than a caged +tiger, then. I could not endure the sight; could not possibly fly his +howlings; all comfort, sleep itself, inestimable reason would leave me +on the long intolerable voyage. What, then, remains? The land is +hundreds of leagues away, and locked Japan the nearest. I stand alone +here upon an open sea, with two oceans and a whole continent between me +and law.Aye, aye, tis so.Is heaven a murderer when its lightning +strikes a would-be murderer in his bed, tindering sheets and skin +together?And would I be a murderer, then, ifand slowly, stealthily, +and half sideways looking, he placed the loaded muskets end against +the door. + +On this level, Ahabs hammock swings within; his head this way. A +touch, and Starbuck may survive to hug his wife and child again.Oh +Mary! Mary!boy! boy! boy!But if I wake thee not to death, old man, +who can tell to what unsounded deeps Starbucks body this day week may +sink, with all the crew! Great God, where art Thou? Shall I? shall +I?The wind has gone down and shifted, sir; the fore and main topsails +are reefed and set; she heads her course. + +Stern all! Oh Moby Dick, I clutch thy heart at last! + +Such were the sounds that now came hurtling from out the old mans +tormented sleep, as if Starbucks voice had caused the long dumb dream +to speak. + +The yet levelled musket shook like a drunkards arm against the panel; +Starbuck seemed wrestling with an angel; but turning from the door, he +placed the death-tube in its rack, and left the place. + +Hes too sound asleep, Mr. Stubb; go thou down, and wake him, and tell +him. I must see to the deck here. Thou knowst what to say. + + +CHAPTER 124. The Needle. + +Next morning the not-yet-subsided sea rolled in long slow billows of +mighty bulk, and striving in the Pequods gurgling track, pushed her on +like giants palms outspread. The strong, unstaggering breeze abounded +so, that sky and air seemed vast outbellying sails; the whole world +boomed before the wind. Muffled in the full morning light, the +invisible sun was only known by the spread intensity of his place; +where his bayonet rays moved on in stacks. Emblazonings, as of crowned +Babylonian kings and queens, reigned over everything. The sea was as a +crucible of molten gold, that bubblingly leaps with light and heat. + +Long maintaining an enchanted silence, Ahab stood apart; and every time +the tetering ship loweringly pitched down her bowsprit, he turned to +eye the bright suns rays produced ahead; and when she profoundly +settled by the stern, he turned behind, and saw the suns rearward +place, and how the same yellow rays were blending with his undeviating +wake. + +Ha, ha, my ship! thou mightest well be taken now for the sea-chariot +of the sun. Ho, ho! all ye nations before my prow, I bring the sun to +ye! Yoke on the further billows; hallo! a tandem, I drive the sea! + +But suddenly reined back by some counter thought, he hurried towards +the helm, huskily demanding how the ship was heading. + +East-sou-east, sir, said the frightened steersman. + +Thou liest! smiting him with his clenched fist. Heading East at this +hour in the morning, and the sun astern? + +Upon this every soul was confounded; for the phenomenon just then +observed by Ahab had unaccountably escaped every one else; but its very +blinding palpableness must have been the cause. + +Thrusting his head half way into the binnacle, Ahab caught one glimpse +of the compasses; his uplifted arm slowly fell; for a moment he almost +seemed to stagger. Standing behind him Starbuck looked, and lo! the two +compasses pointed East, and the Pequod was as infallibly going West. + +But ere the first wild alarm could get out abroad among the crew, the +old man with a rigid laugh exclaimed, I have it! It has happened +before. Mr. Starbuck, last nights thunder turned our compassesthats +all. Thou hast before now heard of such a thing, I take it. + +Aye; but never before has it happened to me, sir, said the pale mate, +gloomily. + +Here, it must needs be said, that accidents like this have in more than +one case occurred to ships in violent storms. The magnetic energy, as +developed in the mariners needle, is, as all know, essentially one +with the electricity beheld in heaven; hence it is not to be much +marvelled at, that such things should be. Instances where the lightning +has actually struck the vessel, so as to smite down some of the spars +and rigging, the effect upon the needle has at times been still more +fatal; all its loadstone virtue being annihilated, so that the before +magnetic steel was of no more use than an old wifes knitting needle. +But in either case, the needle never again, of itself, recovers the +original virtue thus marred or lost; and if the binnacle compasses be +affected, the same fate reaches all the others that may be in the ship; +even were the lowermost one inserted into the kelson. + +Deliberately standing before the binnacle, and eyeing the transpointed +compasses, the old man, with the sharp of his extended hand, now took +the precise bearing of the sun, and satisfied that the needles were +exactly inverted, shouted out his orders for the ships course to be +changed accordingly. The yards were hard up; and once more the Pequod +thrust her undaunted bows into the opposing wind, for the supposed fair +one had only been juggling her. + +Meanwhile, whatever were his own secret thoughts, Starbuck said +nothing, but quietly he issued all requisite orders; while Stubb and +Flaskwho in some small degree seemed then to be sharing his +feelingslikewise unmurmuringly acquiesced. As for the men, though some +of them lowly rumbled, their fear of Ahab was greater than their fear +of Fate. But as ever before, the pagan harpooneers remained almost +wholly unimpressed; or if impressed, it was only with a certain +magnetism shot into their congenial hearts from inflexible Ahabs. + +For a space the old man walked the deck in rolling reveries. But +chancing to slip with his ivory heel, he saw the crushed copper +sight-tubes of the quadrant he had the day before dashed to the deck. + +Thou poor, proud heaven-gazer and suns pilot! yesterday I wrecked +thee, and to-day the compasses would fain have wrecked me. So, so. But +Ahab is lord over the level loadstone yet. Mr. Starbucka lance without +a pole; a top-maul, and the smallest of the sail-makers needles. +Quick! + +Accessory, perhaps, to the impulse dictating the thing he was now about +to do, were certain prudential motives, whose object might have been to +revive the spirits of his crew by a stroke of his subtile skill, in a +matter so wondrous as that of the inverted compasses. Besides, the old +man well knew that to steer by transpointed needles, though clumsily +practicable, was not a thing to be passed over by superstitious +sailors, without some shudderings and evil portents. + +Men, said he, steadily turning upon the crew, as the mate handed him +the things he had demanded, my men, the thunder turned old Ahabs +needles; but out of this bit of steel Ahab can make one of his own, +that will point as true as any. + +Abashed glances of servile wonder were exchanged by the sailors, as +this was said; and with fascinated eyes they awaited whatever magic +might follow. But Starbuck looked away. + +With a blow from the top-maul Ahab knocked off the steel head of the +lance, and then handing to the mate the long iron rod remaining, bade +him hold it upright, without its touching the deck. Then, with the +maul, after repeatedly smiting the upper end of this iron rod, he +placed the blunted needle endwise on the top of it, and less strongly +hammered that, several times, the mate still holding the rod as before. +Then going through some small strange motions with itwhether +indispensable to the magnetizing of the steel, or merely intended to +augment the awe of the crew, is uncertainhe called for linen thread; +and moving to the binnacle, slipped out the two reversed needles there, +and horizontally suspended the sail-needle by its middle, over one of +the compass-cards. At first, the steel went round and round, quivering +and vibrating at either end; but at last it settled to its place, when +Ahab, who had been intently watching for this result, stepped frankly +back from the binnacle, and pointing his stretched arm towards it, +exclaimed,Look ye, for yourselves, if Ahab be not lord of the level +loadstone! The sun is East, and that compass swears it! + +One after another they peered in, for nothing but their own eyes could +persuade such ignorance as theirs, and one after another they slunk +away. + +In his fiery eyes of scorn and triumph, you then saw Ahab in all his +fatal pride. + + +CHAPTER 125. The Log and Line. + +While now the fated Pequod had been so long afloat this voyage, the log +and line had but very seldom been in use. Owing to a confident reliance +upon other means of determining the vessels place, some merchantmen, +and many whalemen, especially when cruising, wholly neglect to heave +the log; though at the same time, and frequently more for forms sake +than anything else, regularly putting down upon the customary slate the +course steered by the ship, as well as the presumed average rate of +progression every hour. It had been thus with the Pequod. The wooden +reel and angular log attached hung, long untouched, just beneath the +railing of the after bulwarks. Rains and spray had damped it; sun and +wind had warped it; all the elements had combined to rot a thing that +hung so idly. But heedless of all this, his mood seized Ahab, as he +happened to glance upon the reel, not many hours after the magnet +scene, and he remembered how his quadrant was no more, and recalled his +frantic oath about the level log and line. The ship was sailing +plungingly; astern the billows rolled in riots. + +Forward, there! Heave the log! + +Two seamen came. The golden-hued Tahitian and the grizzly Manxman. +Take the reel, one of ye, Ill heave. + +They went towards the extreme stern, on the ships lee side, where the +deck, with the oblique energy of the wind, was now almost dipping into +the creamy, sidelong-rushing sea. + +The Manxman took the reel, and holding it high up, by the projecting +handle-ends of the spindle, round which the spool of line revolved, so +stood with the angular log hanging downwards, till Ahab advanced to +him. + +Ahab stood before him, and was lightly unwinding some thirty or forty +turns to form a preliminary hand-coil to toss overboard, when the old +Manxman, who was intently eyeing both him and the line, made bold to +speak. + +Sir, I mistrust it; this line looks far gone, long heat and wet have +spoiled it. + +Twill hold, old gentleman. Long heat and wet, have they spoiled thee? +Thou seemst to hold. Or, truer perhaps, life holds thee; not thou it. + +I hold the spool, sir. But just as my captain says. With these grey +hairs of mine tis not worth while disputing, specially with a +superior, wholl neer confess. + +Whats that? There nows a patched professor in Queen Natures +granite-founded College; but methinks hes too subservient. Where wert +thou born? + +In the little rocky Isle of Man, sir. + +Excellent! Thoust hit the world by that. + +I know not, sir, but I was born there. + +In the Isle of Man, hey? Well, the other way, its good. Heres a man +from Man; a man born in once independent Man, and now unmanned of Man; +which is sucked inby what? Up with the reel! The dead, blind wall +butts all inquiring heads at last. Up with it! So. + +The log was heaved. The loose coils rapidly straightened out in a long +dragging line astern, and then, instantly, the reel began to whirl. In +turn, jerkingly raised and lowered by the rolling billows, the towing +resistance of the log caused the old reelman to stagger strangely. + +Hold hard! + +Snap! the overstrained line sagged down in one long festoon; the +tugging log was gone. + +I crush the quadrant, the thunder turns the needles, and now the mad +sea parts the log-line. But Ahab can mend all. Haul in here, Tahitian; +reel up, Manxman. And look ye, let the carpenter make another log, and +mend thou the line. See to it. + +There he goes now; to him nothings happened; but to me, the skewer +seems loosening out of the middle of the world. Haul in, haul in, +Tahitian! These lines run whole, and whirling out: come in broken, and +dragging slow. Ha, Pip? come to help; eh, Pip? + +Pip? whom call ye Pip? Pip jumped from the whale-boat. Pips missing. +Lets see now if ye havent fished him up here, fisherman. It drags +hard; I guess hes holding on. Jerk him, Tahiti! Jerk him off; we haul +in no cowards here. Ho! theres his arm just breaking water. A hatchet! +a hatchet! cut it offwe haul in no cowards here. Captain Ahab! sir, +sir! heres Pip, trying to get on board again. + +Peace, thou crazy loon, cried the Manxman, seizing him by the arm. +Away from the quarter-deck! + +The greater idiot ever scolds the lesser, muttered Ahab, advancing. +Hands off from that holiness! Where sayest thou Pip was, boy? + +Astern there, sir, astern! Lo! lo! + +And who art thou, boy? I see not my reflection in the vacant pupils of +thy eyes. Oh God! that man should be a thing for immortal souls to +sieve through! Who art thou, boy? + +Bell-boy, sir; ships-crier; ding, dong, ding! Pip! Pip! Pip! One +hundred pounds of clay reward for Pip; five feet highlooks +cowardlyquickest known by that! Ding, dong, ding! Whos seen Pip the +coward? + +There can be no hearts above the snow-line. Oh, ye frozen heavens! +look down here. Ye did beget this luckless child, and have abandoned +him, ye creative libertines. Here, boy; Ahabs cabin shall be Pips +home henceforth, while Ahab lives. Thou touchest my inmost centre, boy; +thou art tied to me by cords woven of my heart-strings. Come, lets +down. + +Whats this? heres velvet shark-skin, intently gazing at Ahabs +hand, and feeling it. Ah, now, had poor Pip but felt so kind a thing +as this, perhaps he had neer been lost! This seems to me, sir, as a +man-rope; something that weak souls may hold by. Oh, sir, let old Perth +now come and rivet these two hands together; the black one with the +white, for I will not let this go. + +Oh, boy, nor will I thee, unless I should thereby drag thee to worse +horrors than are here. Come, then, to my cabin. Lo! ye believers in +gods all goodness, and in man all ill, lo you! see the omniscient gods +oblivious of suffering man; and man, though idiotic, and knowing not +what he does, yet full of the sweet things of love and gratitude. Come! +I feel prouder leading thee by thy black hand, than though I grasped an +Emperors! + +There go two daft ones now, muttered the old Manxman. One daft with +strength, the other daft with weakness. But heres the end of the +rotten lineall dripping, too. Mend it, eh? I think we had best have a +new line altogether. Ill see Mr. Stubb about it. + + +CHAPTER 126. The Life-Buoy. + +Steering now south-eastward by Ahabs levelled steel, and her progress +solely determined by Ahabs level log and line; the Pequod held on her +path towards the Equator. Making so long a passage through such +unfrequented waters, descrying no ships, and ere long, sideways +impelled by unvarying trade winds, over waves monotonously mild; all +these seemed the strange calm things preluding some riotous and +desperate scene. + +At last, when the ship drew near to the outskirts, as it were, of the +Equatorial fishing-ground, and in the deep darkness that goes before +the dawn, was sailing by a cluster of rocky islets; the watchthen +headed by Flaskwas startled by a cry so plaintively wild and +unearthlylike half-articulated wailings of the ghosts of all Herods +murdered Innocentsthat one and all, they started from their reveries, +and for the space of some moments stood, or sat, or leaned all +transfixedly listening, like the carved Roman slave, while that wild +cry remained within hearing. The Christian or civilized part of the +crew said it was mermaids, and shuddered; but the pagan harpooneers +remained unappalled. Yet the grey Manxmanthe oldest mariner of +alldeclared that the wild thrilling sounds that were heard, were the +voices of newly drowned men in the sea. + +Below in his hammock, Ahab did not hear of this till grey dawn, when he +came to the deck; it was then recounted to him by Flask, not +unaccompanied with hinted dark meanings. He hollowly laughed, and thus +explained the wonder. + +Those rocky islands the ship had passed were the resort of great +numbers of seals, and some young seals that had lost their dams, or +some dams that had lost their cubs, must have risen nigh the ship and +kept company with her, crying and sobbing with their human sort of +wail. But this only the more affected some of them, because most +mariners cherish a very superstitious feeling about seals, arising not +only from their peculiar tones when in distress, but also from the +human look of their round heads and semi-intelligent faces, seen +peeringly uprising from the water alongside. In the sea, under certain +circumstances, seals have more than once been mistaken for men. + +But the bodings of the crew were destined to receive a most plausible +confirmation in the fate of one of their number that morning. At +sun-rise this man went from his hammock to his mast-head at the fore; +and whether it was that he was not yet half waked from his sleep (for +sailors sometimes go aloft in a transition state), whether it was thus +with the man, there is now no telling; but, be that as it may, he had +not been long at his perch, when a cry was hearda cry and a +rushingand looking up, they saw a falling phantom in the air; and +looking down, a little tossed heap of white bubbles in the blue of the +sea. + +The life-buoya long slender caskwas dropped from the stern, where it +always hung obedient to a cunning spring; but no hand rose to seize it, +and the sun having long beat upon this cask it had shrunken, so that it +slowly filled, and that parched wood also filled at its every pore; and +the studded iron-bound cask followed the sailor to the bottom, as if to +yield him his pillow, though in sooth but a hard one. + +And thus the first man of the Pequod that mounted the mast to look out +for the White Whale, on the White Whales own peculiar ground; that man +was swallowed up in the deep. But few, perhaps, thought of that at the +time. Indeed, in some sort, they were not grieved at this event, at +least as a portent; for they regarded it, not as a foreshadowing of +evil in the future, but as the fulfilment of an evil already presaged. +They declared that now they knew the reason of those wild shrieks they +had heard the night before. But again the old Manxman said nay. + +The lost life-buoy was now to be replaced; Starbuck was directed to see +to it; but as no cask of sufficient lightness could be found, and as in +the feverish eagerness of what seemed the approaching crisis of the +voyage, all hands were impatient of any toil but what was directly +connected with its final end, whatever that might prove to be; +therefore, they were going to leave the ships stern unprovided with a +buoy, when by certain strange signs and inuendoes Queequeg hinted a +hint concerning his coffin. + +A life-buoy of a coffin! cried Starbuck, starting. + +Rather queer, that, I should say, said Stubb. + +It will make a good enough one, said Flask, the carpenter here can +arrange it easily. + +Bring it up; theres nothing else for it, said Starbuck, after a +melancholy pause. Rig it, carpenter; do not look at me sothe coffin, +I mean. Dost thou hear me? Rig it. + +And shall I nail down the lid, sir? moving his hand as with a hammer. + +Aye. + +And shall I caulk the seams, sir? moving his hand as with a +caulking-iron. + +Aye. + +And shall I then pay over the same with pitch, sir? moving his hand +as with a pitch-pot. + +Away! what possesses thee to this? Make a life-buoy of the coffin, and +no more.Mr. Stubb, Mr. Flask, come forward with me. + +He goes off in a huff. The whole he can endure; at the parts he +baulks. Now I dont like this. I make a leg for Captain Ahab, and he +wears it like a gentleman; but I make a bandbox for Queequeg, and he +wont put his head into it. Are all my pains to go for nothing with +that coffin? And now Im ordered to make a life-buoy of it. Its like +turning an old coat; going to bring the flesh on the other side now. I +dont like this cobbling sort of businessI dont like it at all; its +undignified; its not my place. Let tinkers brats do tinkerings; we +are their betters. I like to take in hand none but clean, virgin, +fair-and-square mathematical jobs, something that regularly begins at +the beginning, and is at the middle when midway, and comes to an end at +the conclusion; not a cobblers job, thats at an end in the middle, +and at the beginning at the end. Its the old womans tricks to be +giving cobbling jobs. Lord! what an affection all old women have for +tinkers. I know an old woman of sixty-five who ran away with a +bald-headed young tinker once. And thats the reason I never would work +for lonely widow old women ashore, when I kept my job-shop in the +Vineyard; they might have taken it into their lonely old heads to run +off with me. But heigh-ho! there are no caps at sea but snow-caps. Let +me see. Nail down the lid; caulk the seams; pay over the same with +pitch; batten them down tight, and hang it with the snap-spring over +the ships stern. Were ever such things done before with a coffin? Some +superstitious old carpenters, now, would be tied up in the rigging, ere +they would do the job. But Im made of knotty Aroostook hemlock; I +dont budge. Cruppered with a coffin! Sailing about with a grave-yard +tray! But never mind. We workers in woods make bridal-bedsteads and +card-tables, as well as coffins and hearses. We work by the month, or +by the job, or by the profit; not for us to ask the why and wherefore +of our work, unless it be too confounded cobbling, and then we stash it +if we can. Hem! Ill do the job, now, tenderly. Ill have melets +seehow many in the ships company, all told? But Ive forgotten. Any +way, Ill have me thirty separate, Turks-headed life-lines, each three +feet long hanging all round to the coffin. Then, if the hull go down, +therell be thirty lively fellows all fighting for one coffin, a sight +not seen very often beneath the sun! Come hammer, caulking-iron, +pitch-pot, and marling-spike! Lets to it. + + +CHAPTER 127. The Deck. + +_The coffin laid upon two line-tubs, between the vice-bench and the +open hatchway; the Carpenter caulking its seams; the string of twisted +oakum slowly unwinding from a large roll of it placed in the bosom of +his frock.Ahab comes slowly from the cabin-gangway, and hears Pip +following him._ + +Back, lad; I will be with ye again presently. He goes! Not this hand +complies with my humor more genially than that boy.Middle aisle of a +church! Whats here? + +Life-buoy, sir. Mr. Starbucks orders. Oh, look, sir! Beware the +hatchway! + +Thank ye, man. Thy coffin lies handy to the vault. + +Sir? The hatchway? oh! So it does, sir, so it does. + +Art not thou the leg-maker? Look, did not this stump come from thy +shop? + +I believe it did, sir; does the ferrule stand, sir? + +Well enough. But art thou not also the undertaker? + +Aye, sir; I patched up this thing here as a coffin for Queequeg; but +theyve set me now to turning it into something else. + +Then tell me; art thou not an arrant, all-grasping, intermeddling, +monopolising, heathenish old scamp, to be one day making legs, and the +next day coffins to clap them in, and yet again life-buoys out of those +same coffins? Thou art as unprincipled as the gods, and as much of a +jack-of-all-trades. + +But I do not mean anything, sir. I do as I do. + +The gods again. Hark ye, dost thou not ever sing working about a +coffin? The Titans, they say, hummed snatches when chipping out the +craters for volcanoes; and the grave-digger in the play sings, spade in +hand. Dost thou never? + +Sing, sir? Do I sing? Oh, Im indifferent enough, sir, for that; but +the reason why the grave-digger made music must have been because there +was none in his spade, sir. But the caulking mallet is full of it. Hark +to it. + +Aye, and thats because the lid theres a sounding-board; and what in +all things makes the sounding-board is thistheres naught beneath. And +yet, a coffin with a body in it rings pretty much the same, Carpenter. +Hast thou ever helped carry a bier, and heard the coffin knock against +the churchyard gate, going in? + +Faith, sir, Ive + +Faith? Whats that? + +Why, faith, sir, its only a sort of exclamation-likethats all, +sir. + +Um, um; go on. + +I was about to say, sir, that + +Art thou a silk-worm? Dost thou spin thy own shroud out of thyself? +Look at thy bosom! Despatch! and get these traps out of sight. + +He goes aft. That was sudden, now; but squalls come sudden in hot +latitudes. Ive heard that the Isle of Albemarle, one of the +Gallipagos, is cut by the Equator right in the middle. Seems to me some +sort of Equator cuts yon old man, too, right in his middle. Hes always +under the Linefiery hot, I tell ye! Hes looking this waycome, oakum; +quick. Here we go again. This wooden mallet is the cork, and Im the +professor of musical glassestap, tap! + +(_Ahab to himself_.) + +Theres a sight! Theres a sound! The greyheaded woodpecker tapping +the hollow tree! Blind and dumb might well be envied now. See! that +thing rests on two line-tubs, full of tow-lines. A most malicious wag, +that fellow. Rat-tat! So mans seconds tick! Oh! how immaterial are all +materials! What things real are there, but imponderable thoughts? Here +nows the very dreaded symbol of grim death, by a mere hap, made the +expressive sign of the help and hope of most endangered life. A +life-buoy of a coffin! Does it go further? Can it be that in some +spiritual sense the coffin is, after all, but an immortality-preserver! +Ill think of that. But no. So far gone am I in the dark side of earth, +that its other side, the theoretic bright one, seems but uncertain +twilight to me. Will ye never have done, Carpenter, with that accursed +sound? I go below; let me not see that thing here when I return again. +Now, then, Pip, well talk this over; I do suck most wondrous +philosophies from thee! Some unknown conduits from the unknown worlds +must empty into thee! + + +CHAPTER 128. The Pequod Meets The Rachel. + +Next day, a large ship, the Rachel, was descried, bearing directly down +upon the Pequod, all her spars thickly clustering with men. At the time +the Pequod was making good speed through the water; but as the +broad-winged windward stranger shot nigh to her, the boastful sails all +fell together as blank bladders that are burst, and all life fled from +the smitten hull. + +Bad news; she brings bad news, muttered the old Manxman. But ere her +commander, who, with trumpet to mouth, stood up in his boat; ere he +could hopefully hail, Ahabs voice was heard. + +Hast seen the White Whale? + +Aye, yesterday. Have ye seen a whale-boat adrift? + +Throttling his joy, Ahab negatively answered this unexpected question; +and would then have fain boarded the stranger, when the stranger +captain himself, having stopped his vessels way, was seen descending +her side. A few keen pulls, and his boat-hook soon clinched the +Pequods main-chains, and he sprang to the deck. Immediately he was +recognised by Ahab for a Nantucketer he knew. But no formal salutation +was exchanged. + +Where was he?not killed!not killed! cried Ahab, closely advancing. +How was it? + +It seemed that somewhat late on the afternoon of the day previous, +while three of the strangers boats were engaged with a shoal of +whales, which had led them some four or five miles from the ship; and +while they were yet in swift chase to windward, the white hump and head +of Moby Dick had suddenly loomed up out of the water, not very far to +leeward; whereupon, the fourth rigged boata reserved onehad been +instantly lowered in chase. After a keen sail before the wind, this +fourth boatthe swiftest keeled of allseemed to have succeeded in +fasteningat least, as well as the man at the mast-head could tell +anything about it. In the distance he saw the diminished dotted boat; +and then a swift gleam of bubbling white water; and after that nothing +more; whence it was concluded that the stricken whale must have +indefinitely run away with his pursuers, as often happens. There was +some apprehension, but no positive alarm, as yet. The recall signals +were placed in the rigging; darkness came on; and forced to pick up her +three far to windward boatsere going in quest of the fourth one in the +precisely opposite directionthe ship had not only been necessitated to +leave that boat to its fate till near midnight, but, for the time, to +increase her distance from it. But the rest of her crew being at last +safe aboard, she crowded all sailstunsail on stunsailafter the +missing boat; kindling a fire in her try-pots for a beacon; and every +other man aloft on the look-out. But though when she had thus sailed a +sufficient distance to gain the presumed place of the absent ones when +last seen; though she then paused to lower her spare boats to pull all +around her; and not finding anything, had again dashed on; again +paused, and lowered her boats; and though she had thus continued doing +till daylight; yet not the least glimpse of the missing keel had been +seen. + +The story told, the stranger Captain immediately went on to reveal his +object in boarding the Pequod. He desired that ship to unite with his +own in the search; by sailing over the sea some four or five miles +apart, on parallel lines, and so sweeping a double horizon, as it were. + +I will wager something now, whispered Stubb to Flask, that some one +in that missing boat wore off that Captains best coat; mayhap, his +watchhes so cursed anxious to get it back. Who ever heard of two +pious whale-ships cruising after one missing whale-boat in the height +of the whaling season? See, Flask, only see how pale he lookspale in +the very buttons of his eyeslookit wasnt the coatit must have been +the + +My boy, my own boy is among them. For Gods sakeI beg, I +conjurehere exclaimed the stranger Captain to Ahab, who thus far had +but icily received his petition. For eight-and-forty hours let me +charter your shipI will gladly pay for it, and roundly pay for itif +there be no other wayfor eight-and-forty hours onlyonly thatyou +must, oh, you must, and you _shall_ do this thing. + +His son! cried Stubb, oh, its his son hes lost! I take back the +coat and watchwhat says Ahab? We must save that boy. + +Hes drowned with the rest on em, last night, said the old Manx +sailor standing behind them; I heard; all of ye heard their spirits. + +Now, as it shortly turned out, what made this incident of the Rachels +the more melancholy, was the circumstance, that not only was one of the +Captains sons among the number of the missing boats crew; but among +the number of the other boats crews, at the same time, but on the +other hand, separated from the ship during the dark vicissitudes of the +chase, there had been still another son; as that for a time, the +wretched father was plunged to the bottom of the cruellest perplexity; +which was only solved for him by his chief mates instinctively +adopting the ordinary procedure of a whale-ship in such emergencies, +that is, when placed between jeopardized but divided boats, always to +pick up the majority first. But the captain, for some unknown +constitutional reason, had refrained from mentioning all this, and not +till forced to it by Ahabs iciness did he allude to his one yet +missing boy; a little lad, but twelve years old, whose father with the +earnest but unmisgiving hardihood of a Nantucketers paternal love, had +thus early sought to initiate him in the perils and wonders of a +vocation almost immemorially the destiny of all his race. Nor does it +unfrequently occur, that Nantucket captains will send a son of such +tender age away from them, for a protracted three or four years voyage +in some other ship than their own; so that their first knowledge of a +whalemans career shall be unenervated by any chance display of a +fathers natural but untimely partiality, or undue apprehensiveness and +concern. + +Meantime, now the stranger was still beseeching his poor boon of Ahab; +and Ahab still stood like an anvil, receiving every shock, but without +the least quivering of his own. + +I will not go, said the stranger, till you say _aye_ to me. Do to me +as you would have me do to you in the like case. For _you_ too have a +boy, Captain Ahabthough but a child, and nestling safely at home nowa +child of your old age tooYes, yes, you relent; I see itrun, run, men, +now, and stand by to square in the yards. + +Avast, cried Ahabtouch not a rope-yarn; then in a voice that +prolongingly moulded every wordCaptain Gardiner, I will not do it. +Even now I lose time. Good-bye, good-bye. God bless ye, man, and may I +forgive myself, but I must go. Mr. Starbuck, look at the binnacle +watch, and in three minutes from this present instant warn off all +strangers: then brace forward again, and let the ship sail as before. + +Hurriedly turning, with averted face, he descended into his cabin, +leaving the strange captain transfixed at this unconditional and utter +rejection of his so earnest suit. But starting from his enchantment, +Gardiner silently hurried to the side; more fell than stepped into his +boat, and returned to his ship. + +Soon the two ships diverged their wakes; and long as the strange vessel +was in view, she was seen to yaw hither and thither at every dark spot, +however small, on the sea. This way and that her yards were swung +round; starboard and larboard, she continued to tack; now she beat +against a head sea; and again it pushed her before it; while all the +while, her masts and yards were thickly clustered with men, as three +tall cherry trees, when the boys are cherrying among the boughs. + +But by her still halting course and winding, woeful way, you plainly +saw that this ship that so wept with spray, still remained without +comfort. She was Rachel, weeping for her children, because they were +not. + + +CHAPTER 129. The Cabin. + +(_Ahab moving to go on deck; Pip catches him by the hand to follow._) + +Lad, lad, I tell thee thou must not follow Ahab now. The hour is +coming when Ahab would not scare thee from him, yet would not have thee +by him. There is that in thee, poor lad, which I feel too curing to my +malady. Like cures like; and for this hunt, my malady becomes my most +desired health. Do thou abide below here, where they shall serve thee, +as if thou wert the captain. Aye, lad, thou shalt sit here in my own +screwed chair; another screw to it, thou must be. + +No, no, no! ye have not a whole body, sir; do ye but use poor me for +your one lost leg; only tread upon me, sir; I ask no more, so I remain +a part of ye. + +Oh! spite of million villains, this makes me a bigot in the fadeless +fidelity of man!and a black! and crazy!but methinks like-cures-like +applies to him too; he grows so sane again. + +They tell me, sir, that Stubb did once desert poor little Pip, whose +drowned bones now show white, for all the blackness of his living skin. +But I will never desert ye, sir, as Stubb did him. Sir, I must go with +ye. + +If thou speakest thus to me much more, Ahabs purpose keels up in him. +I tell thee no; it cannot be. + +Oh good master, master, master! + +Weep so, and I will murder thee! have a care, for Ahab too is mad. +Listen, and thou wilt often hear my ivory foot upon the deck, and still +know that I am there. And now I quit thee. Thy hand!Met! True art +thou, lad, as the circumference to its centre. So: God for ever bless +thee; and if it come to that,God for ever save thee, let what will +befall. + +(_Ahab goes; Pip steps one step forward._) + +Here he this instant stood; I stand in his air,but Im alone. Now +were even poor Pip here I could endure it, but hes missing. Pip! Pip! +Ding, dong, ding! Whos seen Pip? He must be up here; lets try the +door. What? neither lock, nor bolt, nor bar; and yet theres no opening +it. It must be the spell; he told me to stay here: Aye, and told me +this screwed chair was mine. Here, then, Ill seat me, against the +transom, in the ships full middle, all her keel and her three masts +before me. Here, our old sailors say, in their black seventy-fours +great admirals sometimes sit at table, and lord it over rows of +captains and lieutenants. Ha! whats this? epaulets! epaulets! the +epaulets all come crowding! Pass round the decanters; glad to see ye; +fill up, monsieurs! What an odd feeling, now, when a black boys host +to white men with gold lace upon their coats!Monsieurs, have ye seen +one Pip?a little negro lad, five feet high, hang-dog look, and +cowardly! Jumped from a whale-boat once;seen him? No! Well then, fill +up again, captains, and lets drink shame upon all cowards! I name no +names. Shame upon them! Put one foot upon the table. Shame upon all +cowards.Hist! above there, I hear ivoryOh, master! master! I am +indeed down-hearted when you walk over me. But here Ill stay, though +this stern strikes rocks; and they bulge through; and oysters come to +join me. + + +CHAPTER 130. The Hat. + +And now that at the proper time and place, after so long and wide a +preliminary cruise, Ahab,all other whaling waters sweptseemed to have +chased his foe into an ocean-fold, to slay him the more securely there; +now, that he found himself hard by the very latitude and longitude +where his tormenting wound had been inflicted; now that a vessel had +been spoken which on the very day preceding had actually encountered +Moby Dick;and now that all his successive meetings with various ships +contrastingly concurred to show the demoniac indifference with which +the white whale tore his hunters, whether sinning or sinned against; +now it was that there lurked a something in the old mans eyes, which +it was hardly sufferable for feeble souls to see. As the unsetting +polar star, which through the livelong, arctic, six months night +sustains its piercing, steady, central gaze; so Ahabs purpose now +fixedly gleamed down upon the constant midnight of the gloomy crew. It +domineered above them so, that all their bodings, doubts, misgivings, +fears, were fain to hide beneath their souls, and not sprout forth a +single spear or leaf. + +In this foreshadowing interval too, all humor, forced or natural, +vanished. Stubb no more strove to raise a smile; Starbuck no more +strove to check one. Alike, joy and sorrow, hope and fear, seemed +ground to finest dust, and powdered, for the time, in the clamped +mortar of Ahabs iron soul. Like machines, they dumbly moved about the +deck, ever conscious that the old mans despot eye was on them. + +But did you deeply scan him in his more secret confidential hours; when +he thought no glance but one was on him; then you would have seen that +even as Ahabs eyes so awed the crews, the inscrutable Parsees glance +awed his; or somehow, at least, in some wild way, at times affected it. +Such an added, gliding strangeness began to invest the thin Fedallah +now; such ceaseless shudderings shook him; that the men looked dubious +at him; half uncertain, as it seemed, whether indeed he were a mortal +substance, or else a tremulous shadow cast upon the deck by some unseen +beings body. And that shadow was always hovering there. For not by +night, even, had Fedallah ever certainly been known to slumber, or go +below. He would stand still for hours: but never sat or leaned; his wan +but wondrous eyes did plainly sayWe two watchmen never rest. + +Nor, at any time, by night or day could the mariners now step upon the +deck, unless Ahab was before them; either standing in his pivot-hole, +or exactly pacing the planks between two undeviating limits,the +main-mast and the mizen; or else they saw him standing in the +cabin-scuttle,his living foot advanced upon the deck, as if to step; +his hat slouched heavily over his eyes; so that however motionless he +stood, however the days and nights were added on, that he had not swung +in his hammock; yet hidden beneath that slouching hat, they could never +tell unerringly whether, for all this, his eyes were really closed at +times; or whether he was still intently scanning them; no matter, +though he stood so in the scuttle for a whole hour on the stretch, and +the unheeded night-damp gathered in beads of dew upon that stone-carved +coat and hat. The clothes that the night had wet, the next days +sunshine dried upon him; and so, day after day, and night after night; +he went no more beneath the planks; whatever he wanted from the cabin +that thing he sent for. + +He ate in the same open air; that is, his two only meals,breakfast and +dinner: supper he never touched; nor reaped his beard; which darkly +grew all gnarled, as unearthed roots of trees blown over, which still +grow idly on at naked base, though perished in the upper verdure. But +though his whole life was now become one watch on deck; and though the +Parsees mystic watch was without intermission as his own; yet these +two never seemed to speakone man to the otherunless at long intervals +some passing unmomentous matter made it necessary. Though such a potent +spell seemed secretly to join the twain; openly, and to the awe-struck +crew, they seemed pole-like asunder. If by day they chanced to speak +one word; by night, dumb men were both, so far as concerned the +slightest verbal interchange. At times, for longest hours, without a +single hail, they stood far parted in the starlight; Ahab in his +scuttle, the Parsee by the mainmast; but still fixedly gazing upon each +other; as if in the Parsee Ahab saw his forethrown shadow, in Ahab the +Parsee his abandoned substance. + +And yet, somehow, did Ahabin his own proper self, as daily, hourly, +and every instant, commandingly revealed to his subordinates,Ahab +seemed an independent lord; the Parsee but his slave. Still again both +seemed yoked together, and an unseen tyrant driving them; the lean +shade siding the solid rib. For be this Parsee what he may, all rib and +keel was solid Ahab. + +At the first faintest glimmering of the dawn, his iron voice was heard +from aft,Man the mast-heads!and all through the day, till after +sunset and after twilight, the same voice every hour, at the striking +of the helmsmans bell, was heardWhat dye see?sharp! sharp! + +But when three or four days had slided by, after meeting the +children-seeking Rachel; and no spout had yet been seen; the monomaniac +old man seemed distrustful of his crews fidelity; at least, of nearly +all except the Pagan harpooneers; he seemed to doubt, even, whether +Stubb and Flask might not willingly overlook the sight he sought. But +if these suspicions were really his, he sagaciously refrained from +verbally expressing them, however his actions might seem to hint them. + +I will have the first sight of the whale myself,he said. Aye! Ahab +must have the doubloon! and with his own hands he rigged a nest of +basketed bowlines; and sending a hand aloft, with a single sheaved +block, to secure to the main-mast head, he received the two ends of the +downward-reeved rope; and attaching one to his basket prepared a pin +for the other end, in order to fasten it at the rail. This done, with +that end yet in his hand and standing beside the pin, he looked round +upon his crew, sweeping from one to the other; pausing his glance long +upon Daggoo, Queequeg, Tashtego; but shunning Fedallah; and then +settling his firm relying eye upon the chief mate, said,Take the +rope, sirI give it into thy hands, Starbuck. Then arranging his +person in the basket, he gave the word for them to hoist him to his +perch, Starbuck being the one who secured the rope at last; and +afterwards stood near it. And thus, with one hand clinging round the +royal mast, Ahab gazed abroad upon the sea for miles and miles,ahead, +astern, this side, and that,within the wide expanded circle commanded +at so great a height. + +When in working with his hands at some lofty almost isolated place in +the rigging, which chances to afford no foothold, the sailor at sea is +hoisted up to that spot, and sustained there by the rope; under these +circumstances, its fastened end on deck is always given in strict +charge to some one man who has the special watch of it. Because in such +a wilderness of running rigging, whose various different relations +aloft cannot always be infallibly discerned by what is seen of them at +the deck; and when the deck-ends of these ropes are being every few +minutes cast down from the fastenings, it would be but a natural +fatality, if, unprovided with a constant watchman, the hoisted sailor +should by some carelessness of the crew be cast adrift and fall all +swooping to the sea. So Ahabs proceedings in this matter were not +unusual; the only strange thing about them seemed to be, that Starbuck, +almost the one only man who had ever ventured to oppose him with +anything in the slightest degree approaching to decisionone of those +too, whose faithfulness on the look-out he had seemed to doubt +somewhat;it was strange, that this was the very man he should select +for his watchman; freely giving his whole life into such an otherwise +distrusted persons hands. + +Now, the first time Ahab was perched aloft; ere he had been there ten +minutes; one of those red-billed savage sea-hawks which so often fly +incommodiously close round the manned mast-heads of whalemen in these +latitudes; one of these birds came wheeling and screaming round his +head in a maze of untrackably swift circlings. Then it darted a +thousand feet straight up into the air; then spiralized downwards, and +went eddying again round his head. + +But with his gaze fixed upon the dim and distant horizon, Ahab seemed +not to mark this wild bird; nor, indeed, would any one else have marked +it much, it being no uncommon circumstance; only now almost the least +heedful eye seemed to see some sort of cunning meaning in almost every +sight. + +Your hat, your hat, sir! suddenly cried the Sicilian seaman, who +being posted at the mizen-mast-head, stood directly behind Ahab, though +somewhat lower than his level, and with a deep gulf of air dividing +them. + +But already the sable wing was before the old mans eyes; the long +hooked bill at his head: with a scream, the black hawk darted away with +his prize. + +An eagle flew thrice round Tarquins head, removing his cap to replace +it, and thereupon Tanaquil, his wife, declared that Tarquin would be +king of Rome. But only by the replacing of the cap was that omen +accounted good. Ahabs hat was never restored; the wild hawk flew on +and on with it; far in advance of the prow: and at last disappeared; +while from the point of that disappearance, a minute black spot was +dimly discerned, falling from that vast height into the sea. + + +CHAPTER 131. The Pequod Meets The Delight. + +The intense Pequod sailed on; the rolling waves and days went by; the +life-buoy-coffin still lightly swung; and another ship, most miserably +misnamed the Delight, was descried. As she drew nigh, all eyes were +fixed upon her broad beams, called shears, which, in some +whaling-ships, cross the quarter-deck at the height of eight or nine +feet; serving to carry the spare, unrigged, or disabled boats. + +Upon the strangers shears were beheld the shattered, white ribs, and +some few splintered planks, of what had once been a whale-boat; but you +now saw through this wreck, as plainly as you see through the peeled, +half-unhinged, and bleaching skeleton of a horse. + +Hast seen the White Whale? + +Look! replied the hollow-cheeked captain from his taffrail; and with +his trumpet he pointed to the wreck. + +Hast killed him? + +The harpoon is not yet forged that ever will do that, answered the +other, sadly glancing upon a rounded hammock on the deck, whose +gathered sides some noiseless sailors were busy in sewing together. + +Not forged! and snatching Perths levelled iron from the crotch, Ahab +held it out, exclaimingLook ye, Nantucketer; here in this hand I hold +his death! Tempered in blood, and tempered by lightning are these +barbs; and I swear to temper them triply in that hot place behind the +fin, where the White Whale most feels his accursed life! + +Then God keep thee, old manseest thou thatpointing to the +hammockI bury but one of five stout men, who were alive only +yesterday; but were dead ere night. Only _that_ one I bury; the rest +were buried before they died; you sail upon their tomb. Then turning +to his crewAre ye ready there? place the plank then on the rail, and +lift the body; so, thenOh! Godadvancing towards the hammock with +uplifted handsmay the resurrection and the life + +Brace forward! Up helm! cried Ahab like lightning to his men. + +But the suddenly started Pequod was not quick enough to escape the +sound of the splash that the corpse soon made as it struck the sea; not +so quick, indeed, but that some of the flying bubbles might have +sprinkled her hull with their ghostly baptism. + +As Ahab now glided from the dejected Delight, the strange life-buoy +hanging at the Pequods stern came into conspicuous relief. + +Ha! yonder! look yonder, men! cried a foreboding voice in her wake. +In vain, oh, ye strangers, ye fly our sad burial; ye but turn us your +taffrail to show us your coffin! + + +CHAPTER 132. The Symphony. + +It was a clear steel-blue day. The firmaments of air and sea were +hardly separable in that all-pervading azure; only, the pensive air was +transparently pure and soft, with a womans look, and the robust and +man-like sea heaved with long, strong, lingering swells, as Samsons +chest in his sleep. + +Hither, and thither, on high, glided the snow-white wings of small, +unspeckled birds; these were the gentle thoughts of the feminine air; +but to and fro in the deeps, far down in the bottomless blue, rushed +mighty leviathans, sword-fish, and sharks; and these were the strong, +troubled, murderous thinkings of the masculine sea. + +But though thus contrasting within, the contrast was only in shades and +shadows without; those two seemed one; it was only the sex, as it were, +that distinguished them. + +Aloft, like a royal czar and king, the sun seemed giving this gentle +air to this bold and rolling sea; even as bride to groom. And at the +girdling line of the horizon, a soft and tremulous motionmost seen +here at the equatordenoted the fond, throbbing trust, the loving +alarms, with which the poor bride gave her bosom away. + +Tied up and twisted; gnarled and knotted with wrinkles; haggardly firm +and unyielding; his eyes glowing like coals, that still glow in the +ashes of ruin; untottering Ahab stood forth in the clearness of the +morn; lifting his splintered helmet of a brow to the fair girls +forehead of heaven. + +Oh, immortal infancy, and innocency of the azure! Invisible winged +creatures that frolic all round us! Sweet childhood of air and sky! how +oblivious were ye of old Ahabs close-coiled woe! But so have I seen +little Miriam and Martha, laughing-eyed elves, heedlessly gambol around +their old sire; sporting with the circle of singed locks which grew on +the marge of that burnt-out crater of his brain. + +Slowly crossing the deck from the scuttle, Ahab leaned over the side +and watched how his shadow in the water sank and sank to his gaze, the +more and the more that he strove to pierce the profundity. But the +lovely aromas in that enchanted air did at last seem to dispel, for a +moment, the cankerous thing in his soul. That glad, happy air, that +winsome sky, did at last stroke and caress him; the step-mother world, +so long cruelforbiddingnow threw affectionate arms round his stubborn +neck, and did seem to joyously sob over him, as if over one, that +however wilful and erring, she could yet find it in her heart to save +and to bless. From beneath his slouched hat Ahab dropped a tear into +the sea; nor did all the Pacific contain such wealth as that one wee +drop. + +Starbuck saw the old man; saw him, how he heavily leaned over the side; +and he seemed to hear in his own true heart the measureless sobbing +that stole out of the centre of the serenity around. Careful not to +touch him, or be noticed by him, he yet drew near to him, and stood +there. + +Ahab turned. + +Starbuck! + +Sir. + +Oh, Starbuck! it is a mild, mild wind, and a mild looking sky. On such +a dayvery much such a sweetness as thisI struck my first whalea +boy-harpooneer of eighteen! Fortyfortyforty years ago!ago! Forty +years of continual whaling! forty years of privation, and peril, and +storm-time! forty years on the pitiless sea! for forty years has Ahab +forsaken the peaceful land, for forty years to make war on the horrors +of the deep! Aye and yes, Starbuck, out of those forty years I have not +spent three ashore. When I think of this life I have led; the +desolation of solitude it has been; the masoned, walled-town of a +Captains exclusiveness, which admits but small entrance to any +sympathy from the green country withoutoh, weariness! heaviness! +Guinea-coast slavery of solitary command!when I think of all this; +only half-suspected, not so keenly known to me beforeand how for forty +years I have fed upon dry salted farefit emblem of the dry nourishment +of my soil!when the poorest landsman has had fresh fruit to his daily +hand, and broken the worlds fresh bread to my mouldy crustsaway, +whole oceans away, from that young girl-wife I wedded past fifty, and +sailed for Cape Horn the next day, leaving but one dent in my marriage +pillowwife? wife?rather a widow with her husband alive! Aye, I +widowed that poor girl when I married her, Starbuck; and then, the +madness, the frenzy, the boiling blood and the smoking brow, with +which, for a thousand lowerings old Ahab has furiously, foamingly +chased his preymore a demon than a man!aye, aye! what a forty years +foolfoolold fool, has old Ahab been! Why this strife of the chase? +why weary, and palsy the arm at the oar, and the iron, and the lance? +how the richer or better is Ahab now? Behold. Oh, Starbuck! is it not +hard, that with this weary load I bear, one poor leg should have been +snatched from under me? Here, brush this old hair aside; it blinds me, +that I seem to weep. Locks so grey did never grow but from out some +ashes! But do I look very old, so very, very old, Starbuck? I feel +deadly faint, bowed, and humped, as though I were Adam, staggering +beneath the piled centuries since Paradise. God! God! God!crack my +heart!stave my brain!mockery! mockery! bitter, biting mockery of grey +hairs, have I lived enough joy to wear ye; and seem and feel thus +intolerably old? Close! stand close to me, Starbuck; let me look into a +human eye; it is better than to gaze into sea or sky; better than to +gaze upon God. By the green land; by the bright hearth-stone! this is +the magic glass, man; I see my wife and my child in thine eye. No, no; +stay on board, on board!lower not when I do; when branded Ahab gives +chase to Moby Dick. That hazard shall not be thine. No, no! not with +the far away home I see in that eye! + +Oh, my Captain! my Captain! noble soul! grand old heart, after all! +why should any one give chase to that hated fish! Away with me! let us +fly these deadly waters! let us home! Wife and child, too, are +Starbuckswife and child of his brotherly, sisterly, play-fellow +youth; even as thine, sir, are the wife and child of thy loving, +longing, paternal old age! Away! let us away!this instant let me alter +the course! How cheerily, how hilariously, O my Captain, would we bowl +on our way to see old Nantucket again! I think, sir, they have some +such mild blue days, even as this, in Nantucket. + +They have, they have. I have seen themsome summer days in the +morning. About this timeyes, it is his noon nap nowthe boy +vivaciously wakes; sits up in bed; and his mother tells him of me, of +cannibal old me; how I am abroad upon the deep, but will yet come back +to dance him again. + +Tis my Mary, my Mary herself! She promised that my boy, every +morning, should be carried to the hill to catch the first glimpse of +his fathers sail! Yes, yes! no more! it is done! we head for +Nantucket! Come, my Captain, study out the course, and let us away! +See, see! the boys face from the window! the boys hand on the hill! + +But Ahabs glance was averted; like a blighted fruit tree he shook, and +cast his last, cindered apple to the soil. + +What is it, what nameless, inscrutable, unearthly thing is it; what +cozening, hidden lord and master, and cruel, remorseless emperor +commands me; that against all natural lovings and longings, I so keep +pushing, and crowding, and jamming myself on all the time; recklessly +making me ready to do what in my own proper, natural heart, I durst not +so much as dare? Is Ahab, Ahab? Is it I, God, or who, that lifts this +arm? But if the great sun move not of himself; but is as an errand-boy +in heaven; nor one single star can revolve, but by some invisible +power; how then can this one small heart beat; this one small brain +think thoughts; unless God does that beating, does that thinking, does +that living, and not I. By heaven, man, we are turned round and round +in this world, like yonder windlass, and Fate is the handspike. And all +the time, lo! that smiling sky, and this unsounded sea! Look! see yon +Albicore! who put it into him to chase and fang that flying-fish? Where +do murderers go, man! Whos to doom, when the judge himself is dragged +to the bar? But it is a mild, mild wind, and a mild looking sky; and +the air smells now, as if it blew from a far-away meadow; they have +been making hay somewhere under the slopes of the Andes, Starbuck, and +the mowers are sleeping among the new-mown hay. Sleeping? Aye, toil we +how we may, we all sleep at last on the field. Sleep? Aye, and rust +amid greenness; as last years scythes flung down, and left in the +half-cut swathsStarbuck! + +But blanched to a corpses hue with despair, the Mate had stolen away. + +Ahab crossed the deck to gaze over on the other side; but started at +two reflected, fixed eyes in the water there. Fedallah was motionlessly +leaning over the same rail. + + +CHAPTER 133. The ChaseFirst Day. + +That night, in the mid-watch, when the old manas his wont at +intervalsstepped forth from the scuttle in which he leaned, and went +to his pivot-hole, he suddenly thrust out his face fiercely, snuffing +up the sea air as a sagacious ships dog will, in drawing nigh to some +barbarous isle. He declared that a whale must be near. Soon that +peculiar odor, sometimes to a great distance given forth by the living +sperm whale, was palpable to all the watch; nor was any mariner +surprised when, after inspecting the compass, and then the dog-vane, +and then ascertaining the precise bearing of the odor as nearly as +possible, Ahab rapidly ordered the ships course to be slightly +altered, and the sail to be shortened. + +The acute policy dictating these movements was sufficiently vindicated +at daybreak, by the sight of a long sleek on the sea directly and +lengthwise ahead, smooth as oil, and resembling in the pleated watery +wrinkles bordering it, the polished metallic-like marks of some swift +tide-rip, at the mouth of a deep, rapid stream. + +Man the mast-heads! Call all hands! + +Thundering with the butts of three clubbed handspikes on the forecastle +deck, Daggoo roused the sleepers with such judgment claps that they +seemed to exhale from the scuttle, so instantaneously did they appear +with their clothes in their hands. + +What dye see? cried Ahab, flattening his face to the sky. + +Nothing, nothing sir! was the sound hailing down in reply. + +Tgallant sails!stunsails! alow and aloft, and on both sides! + +All sail being set, he now cast loose the life-line, reserved for +swaying him to the main royal-mast head; and in a few moments they were +hoisting him thither, when, while but two thirds of the way aloft, and +while peering ahead through the horizontal vacancy between the +main-top-sail and top-gallant-sail, he raised a gull-like cry in the +air. There she blows!there she blows! A hump like a snow-hill! It is +Moby Dick! + +Fired by the cry which seemed simultaneously taken up by the three +look-outs, the men on deck rushed to the rigging to behold the famous +whale they had so long been pursuing. Ahab had now gained his final +perch, some feet above the other look-outs, Tashtego standing just +beneath him on the cap of the top-gallant-mast, so that the Indians +head was almost on a level with Ahabs heel. From this height the whale +was now seen some mile or so ahead, at every roll of the sea revealing +his high sparkling hump, and regularly jetting his silent spout into +the air. To the credulous mariners it seemed the same silent spout they +had so long ago beheld in the moonlit Atlantic and Indian Oceans. + +And did none of ye see it before? cried Ahab, hailing the perched men +all around him. + +I saw him almost that same instant, sir, that Captain Ahab did, and I +cried out, said Tashtego. + +Not the same instant; not the sameno, the doubloon is mine, Fate +reserved the doubloon for me. _I_ only; none of ye could have raised +the White Whale first. There she blows!there she blows!there she +blows! There again!there again! he cried, in long-drawn, lingering, +methodic tones, attuned to the gradual prolongings of the whales +visible jets. Hes going to sound! In stunsails! Down +top-gallant-sails! Stand by three boats. Mr. Starbuck, remember, stay +on board, and keep the ship. Helm there! Luff, luff a point! So; +steady, man, steady! There go flukes! No, no; only black water! All +ready the boats there? Stand by, stand by! Lower me, Mr. Starbuck; +lower, lower,quick, quicker! and he slid through the air to the deck. + +He is heading straight to leeward, sir, cried Stubb, right away from +us; cannot have seen the ship yet. + +Be dumb, man! Stand by the braces! Hard down the helm!brace up! +Shiver her!shiver her!So; well that! Boats, boats! + +Soon all the boats but Starbucks were dropped; all the boat-sails +setall the paddles plying; with rippling swiftness, shooting to +leeward; and Ahab heading the onset. A pale, death-glimmer lit up +Fedallahs sunken eyes; a hideous motion gnawed his mouth. + +Like noiseless nautilus shells, their light prows sped through the sea; +but only slowly they neared the foe. As they neared him, the ocean grew +still more smooth; seemed drawing a carpet over its waves; seemed a +noon-meadow, so serenely it spread. At length the breathless hunter +came so nigh his seemingly unsuspecting prey, that his entire dazzling +hump was distinctly visible, sliding along the sea as if an isolated +thing, and continually set in a revolving ring of finest, fleecy, +greenish foam. He saw the vast, involved wrinkles of the slightly +projecting head beyond. Before it, far out on the soft Turkish-rugged +waters, went the glistening white shadow from his broad, milky +forehead, a musical rippling playfully accompanying the shade; and +behind, the blue waters interchangeably flowed over into the moving +valley of his steady wake; and on either hand bright bubbles arose and +danced by his side. But these were broken again by the light toes of +hundreds of gay fowl softly feathering the sea, alternate with their +fitful flight; and like to some flag-staff rising from the painted hull +of an argosy, the tall but shattered pole of a recent lance projected +from the white whales back; and at intervals one of the cloud of +soft-toed fowls hovering, and to and fro skimming like a canopy over +the fish, silently perched and rocked on this pole, the long tail +feathers streaming like pennons. + +A gentle joyousnessa mighty mildness of repose in swiftness, invested +the gliding whale. Not the white bull Jupiter swimming away with +ravished Europa clinging to his graceful horns; his lovely, leering +eyes sideways intent upon the maid; with smooth bewitching fleetness, +rippling straight for the nuptial bower in Crete; not Jove, not that +great majesty Supreme! did surpass the glorified White Whale as he so +divinely swam. + +On each soft sidecoincident with the parted swell, that but once +leaving him, then flowed so wide awayon each bright side, the whale +shed off enticings. No wonder there had been some among the hunters who +namelessly transported and allured by all this serenity, had ventured +to assail it; but had fatally found that quietude but the vesture of +tornadoes. Yet calm, enticing calm, oh, whale! thou glidest on, to all +who for the first time eye thee, no matter how many in that same way +thou mayst have bejuggled and destroyed before. + +And thus, through the serene tranquillities of the tropical sea, among +waves whose hand-clappings were suspended by exceeding rapture, Moby +Dick moved on, still withholding from sight the full terrors of his +submerged trunk, entirely hiding the wrenched hideousness of his jaw. +But soon the fore part of him slowly rose from the water; for an +instant his whole marbleized body formed a high arch, like Virginias +Natural Bridge, and warningly waving his bannered flukes in the air, +the grand god revealed himself, sounded, and went out of sight. +Hoveringly halting, and dipping on the wing, the white sea-fowls +longingly lingered over the agitated pool that he left. + +With oars apeak, and paddles down, the sheets of their sails adrift, +the three boats now stilly floated, awaiting Moby Dicks reappearance. + +An hour, said Ahab, standing rooted in his boats stern; and he gazed +beyond the whales place, towards the dim blue spaces and wide wooing +vacancies to leeward. It was only an instant; for again his eyes seemed +whirling round in his head as he swept the watery circle. The breeze +now freshened; the sea began to swell. + +The birds!the birds! cried Tashtego. + +In long Indian file, as when herons take wing, the white birds were now +all flying towards Ahabs boat; and when within a few yards began +fluttering over the water there, wheeling round and round, with joyous, +expectant cries. Their vision was keener than mans; Ahab could +discover no sign in the sea. But suddenly as he peered down and down +into its depths, he profoundly saw a white living spot no bigger than a +white weasel, with wonderful celerity uprising, and magnifying as it +rose, till it turned, and then there were plainly revealed two long +crooked rows of white, glistening teeth, floating up from the +undiscoverable bottom. It was Moby Dicks open mouth and scrolled jaw; +his vast, shadowed bulk still half blending with the blue of the sea. +The glittering mouth yawned beneath the boat like an open-doored marble +tomb; and giving one sidelong sweep with his steering oar, Ahab whirled +the craft aside from this tremendous apparition. Then, calling upon +Fedallah to change places with him, went forward to the bows, and +seizing Perths harpoon, commanded his crew to grasp their oars and +stand by to stern. + +Now, by reason of this timely spinning round the boat upon its axis, +its bow, by anticipation, was made to face the whales head while yet +under water. But as if perceiving this stratagem, Moby Dick, with that +malicious intelligence ascribed to him, sidelingly transplanted +himself, as it were, in an instant, shooting his pleated head +lengthwise beneath the boat. + +Through and through; through every plank and each rib, it thrilled for +an instant, the whale obliquely lying on his back, in the manner of a +biting shark, slowly and feelingly taking its bows full within his +mouth, so that the long, narrow, scrolled lower jaw curled high up into +the open air, and one of the teeth caught in a row-lock. The bluish +pearl-white of the inside of the jaw was within six inches of Ahabs +head, and reached higher than that. In this attitude the White Whale +now shook the slight cedar as a mildly cruel cat her mouse. With +unastonished eyes Fedallah gazed, and crossed his arms; but the +tiger-yellow crew were tumbling over each others heads to gain the +uttermost stern. + +And now, while both elastic gunwales were springing in and out, as the +whale dallied with the doomed craft in this devilish way; and from his +body being submerged beneath the boat, he could not be darted at from +the bows, for the bows were almost inside of him, as it were; and while +the other boats involuntarily paused, as before a quick crisis +impossible to withstand, then it was that monomaniac Ahab, furious with +this tantalizing vicinity of his foe, which placed him all alive and +helpless in the very jaws he hated; frenzied with all this, he seized +the long bone with his naked hands, and wildly strove to wrench it from +its gripe. As now he thus vainly strove, the jaw slipped from him; the +frail gunwales bent in, collapsed, and snapped, as both jaws, like an +enormous shears, sliding further aft, bit the craft completely in +twain, and locked themselves fast again in the sea, midway between the +two floating wrecks. These floated aside, the broken ends drooping, the +crew at the stern-wreck clinging to the gunwales, and striving to hold +fast to the oars to lash them across. + +At that preluding moment, ere the boat was yet snapped, Ahab, the first +to perceive the whales intent, by the crafty upraising of his head, a +movement that loosed his hold for the time; at that moment his hand had +made one final effort to push the boat out of the bite. But only +slipping further into the whales mouth, and tilting over sideways as +it slipped, the boat had shaken off his hold on the jaw; spilled him +out of it, as he leaned to the push; and so he fell flat-faced upon the +sea. + +Ripplingly withdrawing from his prey, Moby Dick now lay at a little +distance, vertically thrusting his oblong white head up and down in the +billows; and at the same time slowly revolving his whole spindled body; +so that when his vast wrinkled forehead rosesome twenty or more feet +out of the waterthe now rising swells, with all their confluent waves, +dazzlingly broke against it; vindictively tossing their shivered spray +still higher into the air.* So, in a gale, the but half baffled Channel +billows only recoil from the base of the Eddystone, triumphantly to +overleap its summit with their scud. + +*This motion is peculiar to the sperm whale. It receives its +designation (pitchpoling) from its being likened to that preliminary +up-and-down poise of the whale-lance, in the exercise called +pitchpoling, previously described. By this motion the whale must best +and most comprehensively view whatever objects may be encircling him. + +But soon resuming his horizontal attitude, Moby Dick swam swiftly round +and round the wrecked crew; sideways churning the water in his vengeful +wake, as if lashing himself up to still another and more deadly +assault. The sight of the splintered boat seemed to madden him, as the +blood of grapes and mulberries cast before Antiochuss elephants in the +book of Maccabees. Meanwhile Ahab half smothered in the foam of the +whales insolent tail, and too much of a cripple to swim,though he +could still keep afloat, even in the heart of such a whirlpool as that; +helpless Ahabs head was seen, like a tossed bubble which the least +chance shock might burst. From the boats fragmentary stern, Fedallah +incuriously and mildly eyed him; the clinging crew, at the other +drifting end, could not succor him; more than enough was it for them to +look to themselves. For so revolvingly appalling was the White Whales +aspect, and so planetarily swift the ever-contracting circles he made, +that he seemed horizontally swooping upon them. And though the other +boats, unharmed, still hovered hard by; still they dared not pull into +the eddy to strike, lest that should be the signal for the instant +destruction of the jeopardized castaways, Ahab and all; nor in that +case could they themselves hope to escape. With straining eyes, then, +they remained on the outer edge of the direful zone, whose centre had +now become the old mans head. + +Meantime, from the beginning all this had been descried from the ships +mast heads; and squaring her yards, she had borne down upon the scene; +and was now so nigh, that Ahab in the water hailed her!Sail on +thebut that moment a breaking sea dashed on him from Moby Dick, and +whelmed him for the time. But struggling out of it again, and chancing +to rise on a towering crest, he shouted,Sail on the whale!Drive him +off! + +The Pequods prows were pointed; and breaking up the charmed circle, +she effectually parted the white whale from his victim. As he sullenly +swam off, the boats flew to the rescue. + +Dragged into Stubbs boat with blood-shot, blinded eyes, the white +brine caking in his wrinkles; the long tension of Ahabs bodily +strength did crack, and helplessly he yielded to his bodys doom: for a +time, lying all crushed in the bottom of Stubbs boat, like one trodden +under foot of herds of elephants. Far inland, nameless wails came from +him, as desolate sounds from out ravines. + +But this intensity of his physical prostration did but so much the more +abbreviate it. In an instants compass, great hearts sometimes condense +to one deep pang, the sum total of those shallow pains kindly diffused +through feebler mens whole lives. And so, such hearts, though summary +in each one suffering; still, if the gods decree it, in their life-time +aggregate a whole age of woe, wholly made up of instantaneous +intensities; for even in their pointless centres, those noble natures +contain the entire circumferences of inferior souls. + +The harpoon, said Ahab, half way rising, and draggingly leaning on +one bended armis it safe? + +Aye, sir, for it was not darted; this is it, said Stubb, showing it. + +Lay it before me;any missing men? + +One, two, three, four, five;there were five oars, sir, and here are +five men. + +Thats good.Help me, man; I wish to stand. So, so, I see him! there! +there! going to leeward still; what a leaping spout!Hands off from me! +The eternal sap runs up in Ahabs bones again! Set the sail; out oars; +the helm! + +It is often the case that when a boat is stove, its crew, being picked +up by another boat, help to work that second boat; and the chase is +thus continued with what is called double-banked oars. It was thus now. +But the added power of the boat did not equal the added power of the +whale, for he seemed to have treble-banked his every fin; swimming with +a velocity which plainly showed, that if now, under these +circumstances, pushed on, the chase would prove an indefinitely +prolonged, if not a hopeless one; nor could any crew endure for so long +a period, such an unintermitted, intense straining at the oar; a thing +barely tolerable only in some one brief vicissitude. The ship itself, +then, as it sometimes happens, offered the most promising intermediate +means of overtaking the chase. Accordingly, the boats now made for her, +and were soon swayed up to their cranesthe two parts of the wrecked +boat having been previously secured by herand then hoisting everything +to her side, and stacking her canvas high up, and sideways +outstretching it with stun-sails, like the double-jointed wings of an +albatross; the Pequod bore down in the leeward wake of Moby-Dick. At +the well known, methodic intervals, the whales glittering spout was +regularly announced from the manned mast-heads; and when he would be +reported as just gone down, Ahab would take the time, and then pacing +the deck, binnacle-watch in hand, so soon as the last second of the +allotted hour expired, his voice was heard.Whose is the doubloon now? +Dye see him? and if the reply was, No, sir! straightway he commanded +them to lift him to his perch. In this way the day wore on; Ahab, now +aloft and motionless; anon, unrestingly pacing the planks. + +As he was thus walking, uttering no sound, except to hail the men +aloft, or to bid them hoist a sail still higher, or to spread one to a +still greater breadththus to and fro pacing, beneath his slouched hat, +at every turn he passed his own wrecked boat, which had been dropped +upon the quarter-deck, and lay there reversed; broken bow to shattered +stern. At last he paused before it; and as in an already over-clouded +sky fresh troops of clouds will sometimes sail across, so over the old +mans face there now stole some such added gloom as this. + +Stubb saw him pause; and perhaps intending, not vainly, though, to +evince his own unabated fortitude, and thus keep up a valiant place in +his Captains mind, he advanced, and eyeing the wreck exclaimedThe +thistle the ass refused; it pricked his mouth too keenly, sir; ha! ha! + +What soulless thing is this that laughs before a wreck? Man, man! did +I not know thee brave as fearless fire (and as mechanical) I could +swear thou wert a poltroon. Groan nor laugh should be heard before a +wreck. + +Aye, sir, said Starbuck drawing near, tis a solemn sight; an omen, +and an ill one. + +Omen? omen?the dictionary! If the gods think to speak outright to +man, they will honorably speak outright; not shake their heads, and +give an old wives darkling hint.Begone! Ye two are the opposite poles +of one thing; Starbuck is Stubb reversed, and Stubb is Starbuck; and ye +two are all mankind; and Ahab stands alone among the millions of the +peopled earth, nor gods nor men his neighbors! Cold, coldI shiver!How +now? Aloft there! Dye see him? Sing out for every spout, though he +spout ten times a second! + +The day was nearly done; only the hem of his golden robe was rustling. +Soon, it was almost dark, but the look-out men still remained unset. + +Cant see the spout now, sir;too darkcried a voice from the air. + +How heading when last seen? + +As before, sir,straight to leeward. + +Good! he will travel slower now tis night. Down royals and +top-gallant stun-sails, Mr. Starbuck. We must not run over him before +morning; hes making a passage now, and may heave-to a while. Helm +there! keep her full before the wind!Aloft! come down!Mr. Stubb, send +a fresh hand to the fore-mast head, and see it manned till +morning.Then advancing towards the doubloon in the main-mastMen, +this gold is mine, for I earned it; but I shall let it abide here till +the White Whale is dead; and then, whosoever of ye first raises him, +upon the day he shall be killed, this gold is that mans; and if on +that day I shall again raise him, then, ten times its sum shall be +divided among all of ye! Away now!the deck is thine, sir! + +And so saying, he placed himself half way within the scuttle, and +slouching his hat, stood there till dawn, except when at intervals +rousing himself to see how the night wore on. + + +CHAPTER 134. The ChaseSecond Day. + +At day-break, the three mast-heads were punctually manned afresh. + +Dye see him? cried Ahab after allowing a little space for the light +to spread. + +See nothing, sir. + +Turn up all hands and make sail! he travels faster than I thought +for;the top-gallant sails!aye, they should have been kept on her all +night. But no mattertis but resting for the rush. + +Here be it said, that this pertinacious pursuit of one particular +whale, continued through day into night, and through night into day, is +a thing by no means unprecedented in the South sea fishery. For such is +the wonderful skill, prescience of experience, and invincible +confidence acquired by some great natural geniuses among the Nantucket +commanders; that from the simple observation of a whale when last +descried, they will, under certain given circumstances, pretty +accurately foretell both the direction in which he will continue to +swim for a time, while out of sight, as well as his probable rate of +progression during that period. And, in these cases, somewhat as a +pilot, when about losing sight of a coast, whose general trending he +well knows, and which he desires shortly to return to again, but at +some further point; like as this pilot stands by his compass, and takes +the precise bearing of the cape at present visible, in order the more +certainly to hit aright the remote, unseen headland, eventually to be +visited: so does the fisherman, at his compass, with the whale; for +after being chased, and diligently marked, through several hours of +daylight, then, when night obscures the fish, the creatures future +wake through the darkness is almost as established to the sagacious +mind of the hunter, as the pilots coast is to him. So that to this +hunters wondrous skill, the proverbial evanescence of a thing writ in +water, a wake, is to all desired purposes well nigh as reliable as the +steadfast land. And as the mighty iron Leviathan of the modern railway +is so familiarly known in its every pace, that, with watches in their +hands, men time his rate as doctors that of a babys pulse; and lightly +say of it, the up train or the down train will reach such or such a +spot, at such or such an hour; even so, almost, there are occasions +when these Nantucketers time that other Leviathan of the deep, +according to the observed humor of his speed; and say to themselves, so +many hours hence this whale will have gone two hundred miles, will have +about reached this or that degree of latitude or longitude. But to +render this acuteness at all successful in the end, the wind and the +sea must be the whalemans allies; for of what present avail to the +becalmed or windbound mariner is the skill that assures him he is +exactly ninety-three leagues and a quarter from his port? Inferable +from these statements, are many collateral subtile matters touching the +chase of whales. + +The ship tore on; leaving such a furrow in the sea as when a +cannon-ball, missent, becomes a plough-share and turns up the level +field. + +By salt and hemp! cried Stubb, but this swift motion of the deck +creeps up ones legs and tingles at the heart. This ship and I are two +brave fellows!Ha, ha! Some one take me up, and launch me, spine-wise, +on the sea,for by live-oaks! my spines a keel. Ha, ha! we go the gait +that leaves no dust behind! + +There she blowsshe blows!she blows!right ahead! was now the +mast-head cry. + +Aye, aye! cried Stubb, I knew itye cant escapeblow on and split +your spout, O whale! the mad fiend himself is after ye! blow your +trumpblister your lungs!Ahab will dam off your blood, as a miller +shuts his watergate upon the stream! + +And Stubb did but speak out for well nigh all that crew. The frenzies +of the chase had by this time worked them bubblingly up, like old wine +worked anew. Whatever pale fears and forebodings some of them might +have felt before; these were not only now kept out of sight through the +growing awe of Ahab, but they were broken up, and on all sides routed, +as timid prairie hares that scatter before the bounding bison. The hand +of Fate had snatched all their souls; and by the stirring perils of the +previous day; the rack of the past nights suspense; the fixed, +unfearing, blind, reckless way in which their wild craft went plunging +towards its flying mark; by all these things, their hearts were bowled +along. The wind that made great bellies of their sails, and rushed the +vessel on by arms invisible as irresistible; this seemed the symbol of +that unseen agency which so enslaved them to the race. + +They were one man, not thirty. For as the one ship that held them all; +though it was put together of all contrasting thingsoak, and maple, +and pine wood; iron, and pitch, and hempyet all these ran into each +other in the one concrete hull, which shot on its way, both balanced +and directed by the long central keel; even so, all the individualities +of the crew, this mans valor, that mans fear; guilt and guiltiness, +all varieties were welded into oneness, and were all directed to that +fatal goal which Ahab their one lord and keel did point to. + +The rigging lived. The mast-heads, like the tops of tall palms, were +outspreadingly tufted with arms and legs. Clinging to a spar with one +hand, some reached forth the other with impatient wavings; others, +shading their eyes from the vivid sunlight, sat far out on the rocking +yards; all the spars in full bearing of mortals, ready and ripe for +their fate. Ah! how they still strove through that infinite blueness to +seek out the thing that might destroy them! + +Why sing ye not out for him, if ye see him? cried Ahab, when, after +the lapse of some minutes since the first cry, no more had been heard. +Sway me up, men; ye have been deceived; not Moby Dick casts one odd +jet that way, and then disappears. + +It was even so; in their headlong eagerness, the men had mistaken some +other thing for the whale-spout, as the event itself soon proved; for +hardly had Ahab reached his perch; hardly was the rope belayed to its +pin on deck, when he struck the key-note to an orchestra, that made the +air vibrate as with the combined discharges of rifles. The triumphant +halloo of thirty buckskin lungs was heard, asmuch nearer to the ship +than the place of the imaginary jet, less than a mile aheadMoby Dick +bodily burst into view! For not by any calm and indolent spoutings; not +by the peaceable gush of that mystic fountain in his head, did the +White Whale now reveal his vicinity; but by the far more wondrous +phenomenon of breaching. Rising with his utmost velocity from the +furthest depths, the Sperm Whale thus booms his entire bulk into the +pure element of air, and piling up a mountain of dazzling foam, shows +his place to the distance of seven miles and more. In those moments, +the torn, enraged waves he shakes off, seem his mane; in some cases, +this breaching is his act of defiance. + +There she breaches! there she breaches! was the cry, as in his +immeasurable bravadoes the White Whale tossed himself salmon-like to +Heaven. So suddenly seen in the blue plain of the sea, and relieved +against the still bluer margin of the sky, the spray that he raised, +for the moment, intolerably glittered and glared like a glacier; and +stood there gradually fading and fading away from its first sparkling +intensity, to the dim mistiness of an advancing shower in a vale. + +Aye, breach your last to the sun, Moby Dick! cried Ahab, thy hour +and thy harpoon are at hand!Down! down all of ye, but one man at the +fore. The boats!stand by! + +Unmindful of the tedious rope-ladders of the shrouds, the men, like +shooting stars, slid to the deck, by the isolated backstays and +halyards; while Ahab, less dartingly, but still rapidly was dropped +from his perch. + +Lower away, he cried, so soon as he had reached his boata spare one, +rigged the afternoon previous. Mr. Starbuck, the ship is thinekeep +away from the boats, but keep near them. Lower, all! + +As if to strike a quick terror into them, by this time being the first +assailant himself, Moby Dick had turned, and was now coming for the +three crews. Ahabs boat was central; and cheering his men, he told +them he would take the whale head-and-head,that is, pull straight up +to his forehead,a not uncommon thing; for when within a certain limit, +such a course excludes the coming onset from the whales sidelong +vision. But ere that close limit was gained, and while yet all three +boats were plain as the ships three masts to his eye; the White Whale +churning himself into furious speed, almost in an instant as it were, +rushing among the boats with open jaws, and a lashing tail, offered +appalling battle on every side; and heedless of the irons darted at him +from every boat, seemed only intent on annihilating each separate plank +of which those boats were made. But skilfully manuvred, incessantly +wheeling like trained chargers in the field; the boats for a while +eluded him; though, at times, but by a planks breadth; while all the +time, Ahabs unearthly slogan tore every other cry but his to shreds. + +But at last in his untraceable evolutions, the White Whale so crossed +and recrossed, and in a thousand ways entangled the slack of the three +lines now fast to him, that they foreshortened, and, of themselves, +warped the devoted boats towards the planted irons in him; though now +for a moment the whale drew aside a little, as if to rally for a more +tremendous charge. Seizing that opportunity, Ahab first paid out more +line: and then was rapidly hauling and jerking in upon it againhoping +that way to disencumber it of some snarlswhen lo!a sight more savage +than the embattled teeth of sharks! + +Caught and twistedcorkscrewed in the mazes of the line, loose harpoons +and lances, with all their bristling barbs and points, came flashing +and dripping up to the chocks in the bows of Ahabs boat. Only one +thing could be done. Seizing the boat-knife, he critically reached +withinthroughand then, withoutthe rays of steel; dragged in the line +beyond, passed it, inboard, to the bowsman, and then, twice sundering +the rope near the chocksdropped the intercepted fagot of steel into +the sea; and was all fast again. That instant, the White Whale made a +sudden rush among the remaining tangles of the other lines; by so +doing, irresistibly dragged the more involved boats of Stubb and Flask +towards his flukes; dashed them together like two rolling husks on a +surf-beaten beach, and then, diving down into the sea, disappeared in a +boiling maelstrom, in which, for a space, the odorous cedar chips of +the wrecks danced round and round, like the grated nutmeg in a swiftly +stirred bowl of punch. + +While the two crews were yet circling in the waters, reaching out after +the revolving line-tubs, oars, and other floating furniture, while +aslope little Flask bobbed up and down like an empty vial, twitching +his legs upwards to escape the dreaded jaws of sharks; and Stubb was +lustily singing out for some one to ladle him up; and while the old +mans linenow partingadmitted of his pulling into the creamy pool to +rescue whom he could;in that wild simultaneousness of a thousand +concreted perils,Ahabs yet unstricken boat seemed drawn up towards +Heaven by invisible wires,as, arrow-like, shooting perpendicularly +from the sea, the White Whale dashed his broad forehead against its +bottom, and sent it, turning over and over, into the air; till it fell +againgunwale downwardsand Ahab and his men struggled out from under +it, like seals from a sea-side cave. + +The first uprising momentum of the whalemodifying its direction as he +struck the surfaceinvoluntarily launched him along it, to a little +distance from the centre of the destruction he had made; and with his +back to it, he now lay for a moment slowly feeling with his flukes from +side to side; and whenever a stray oar, bit of plank, the least chip or +crumb of the boats touched his skin, his tail swiftly drew back, and +came sideways smiting the sea. But soon, as if satisfied that his work +for that time was done, he pushed his pleated forehead through the +ocean, and trailing after him the intertangled lines, continued his +leeward way at a travellers methodic pace. + +As before, the attentive ship having descried the whole fight, again +came bearing down to the rescue, and dropping a boat, picked up the +floating mariners, tubs, oars, and whatever else could be caught at, +and safely landed them on her decks. Some sprained shoulders, wrists, +and ankles; livid contusions; wrenched harpoons and lances; +inextricable intricacies of rope; shattered oars and planks; all these +were there; but no fatal or even serious ill seemed to have befallen +any one. As with Fedallah the day before, so Ahab was now found grimly +clinging to his boats broken half, which afforded a comparatively easy +float; nor did it so exhaust him as the previous days mishap. + +But when he was helped to the deck, all eyes were fastened upon him; as +instead of standing by himself he still half-hung upon the shoulder of +Starbuck, who had thus far been the foremost to assist him. His ivory +leg had been snapped off, leaving but one short sharp splinter. + +Aye, aye, Starbuck, tis sweet to lean sometimes, be the leaner who he +will; and would old Ahab had leaned oftener than he has. + +The ferrule has not stood, sir, said the carpenter, now coming up; I +put good work into that leg. + +But no bones broken, sir, I hope, said Stubb with true concern. + +Aye! and all splintered to pieces, Stubb!dye see it.But even with a +broken bone, old Ahab is untouched; and I account no living bone of +mine one jot more me, than this dead one thats lost. Nor white whale, +nor man, nor fiend, can so much as graze old Ahab in his own proper and +inaccessible being. Can any lead touch yonder floor, any mast scrape +yonder roof?Aloft there! which way? + +Dead to leeward, sir. + +Up helm, then; pile on the sail again, ship keepers! down the rest of +the spare boats and rig themMr. Starbuck away, and muster the boats +crews. + +Let me first help thee towards the bulwarks, sir. + +Oh, oh, oh! how this splinter gores me now! Accursed fate! that the +unconquerable captain in the soul should have such a craven mate! + +Sir? + +My body, man, not thee. Give me something for a canethere, that +shivered lance will do. Muster the men. Surely I have not seen him yet. +By heaven it cannot be!missing?quick! call them all. + +The old mans hinted thought was true. Upon mustering the company, the +Parsee was not there. + +The Parsee! cried Stubbhe must have been caught in + +The black vomit wrench thee!run all of ye above, alow, cabin, +forecastlefind himnot gonenot gone! + +But quickly they returned to him with the tidings that the Parsee was +nowhere to be found. + +Aye, sir, said Stubbcaught among the tangles of your lineI thought +I saw him dragging under. + +_My_ line! _my_ line? Gone?gone? What means that little word?What +death-knell rings in it, that old Ahab shakes as if he were the belfry. +The harpoon, too!toss over the litter there,dye see it?the forged +iron, men, the white whalesno, no, no,blistered fool! this hand did +dart it!tis in the fish!Aloft there! Keep him nailedQuick!all +hands to the rigging of the boatscollect the oarsharpooneers! the +irons, the irons!hoist the royals highera pull on all the +sheets!helm there! steady, steady for your life! Ill ten times girdle +the unmeasured globe; yea and dive straight through it, but Ill slay +him yet! + +Great God! but for one single instant show thyself, cried Starbuck; +never, never wilt thou capture him, old manIn Jesus name no more of +this, thats worse than devils madness. Two days chased; twice stove +to splinters; thy very leg once more snatched from under thee; thy evil +shadow goneall good angels mobbing thee with warnings:what more +wouldst thou have?Shall we keep chasing this murderous fish till he +swamps the last man? Shall we be dragged by him to the bottom of the +sea? Shall we be towed by him to the infernal world? Oh, oh,Impiety +and blasphemy to hunt him more! + +Starbuck, of late Ive felt strangely moved to thee; ever since that +hour we both sawthou knowst what, in one anothers eyes. But in this +matter of the whale, be the front of thy face to me as the palm of this +handa lipless, unfeatured blank. Ahab is for ever Ahab, man. This +whole acts immutably decreed. Twas rehearsed by thee and me a billion +years before this ocean rolled. Fool! I am the Fates lieutenant; I act +under orders. Look thou, underling! that thou obeyest mine.Stand round +me, men. Ye see an old man cut down to the stump; leaning on a shivered +lance; propped up on a lonely foot. Tis Ahabhis bodys part; but +Ahabs souls a centipede, that moves upon a hundred legs. I feel +strained, half stranded, as ropes that tow dismasted frigates in a +gale; and I may look so. But ere I break, yell hear me crack; and till +ye hear _that_, know that Ahabs hawser tows his purpose yet. Believe +ye, men, in the things called omens? Then laugh aloud, and cry encore! +For ere they drown, drowning things will twice rise to the surface; +then rise again, to sink for evermore. So with Moby Dicktwo days hes +floatedtomorrow will be the third. Aye, men, hell rise once more,but +only to spout his last! Dye feel brave men, brave? + +As fearless fire, cried Stubb. + +And as mechanical, muttered Ahab. Then as the men went forward, he +muttered on: The things called omens! And yesterday I talked the same +to Starbuck there, concerning my broken boat. Oh! how valiantly I seek +to drive out of others hearts whats clinched so fast in mine!The +Parseethe Parsee!gone, gone? and he was to go before:but still was +to be seen again ere I could perishHows that?Theres a riddle now +might baffle all the lawyers backed by the ghosts of the whole line of +judges:like a hawks beak it pecks my brain. _Ill_, _Ill_ solve it, +though! + +When dusk descended, the whale was still in sight to leeward. + +So once more the sail was shortened, and everything passed nearly as on +the previous night; only, the sound of hammers, and the hum of the +grindstone was heard till nearly daylight, as the men toiled by +lanterns in the complete and careful rigging of the spare boats and +sharpening their fresh weapons for the morrow. Meantime, of the broken +keel of Ahabs wrecked craft the carpenter made him another leg; while +still as on the night before, slouched Ahab stood fixed within his +scuttle; his hid, heliotrope glance anticipatingly gone backward on its +dial; sat due eastward for the earliest sun. + + +CHAPTER 135. The Chase.Third Day. + +The morning of the third day dawned fair and fresh, and once more the +solitary night-man at the fore-mast-head was relieved by crowds of the +daylight look-outs, who dotted every mast and almost every spar. + +Dye see him? cried Ahab; but the whale was not yet in sight. + +In his infallible wake, though; but follow that wake, thats all. Helm +there; steady, as thou goest, and hast been going. What a lovely day +again! were it a new-made world, and made for a summer-house to the +angels, and this morning the first of its throwing open to them, a +fairer day could not dawn upon that world. Heres food for thought, had +Ahab time to think; but Ahab never thinks; he only feels, feels, feels; +_thats_ tingling enough for mortal man! to thinks audacity. God only +has that right and privilege. Thinking is, or ought to be, a coolness +and a calmness; and our poor hearts throb, and our poor brains beat too +much for that. And yet, Ive sometimes thought my brain was very +calmfrozen calm, this old skull cracks so, like a glass in which the +contents turned to ice, and shiver it. And still this hair is growing +now; this moment growing, and heat must breed it; but no, its like +that sort of common grass that will grow anywhere, between the earthy +clefts of Greenland ice or in Vesuvius lava. How the wild winds blow +it; they whip it about me as the torn shreds of split sails lash the +tossed ship they cling to. A vile wind that has no doubt blown ere this +through prison corridors and cells, and wards of hospitals, and +ventilated them, and now comes blowing hither as innocent as fleeces. +Out upon it!its tainted. Were I the wind, Id blow no more on such a +wicked, miserable world. Id crawl somewhere to a cave, and slink +there. And yet, tis a noble and heroic thing, the wind! who ever +conquered it? In every fight it has the last and bitterest blow. Run +tilting at it, and you but run through it. Ha! a coward wind that +strikes stark naked men, but will not stand to receive a single blow. +Even Ahab is a braver thinga nobler thing than _that_. Would now the +wind but had a body; but all the things that most exasperate and +outrage mortal man, all these things are bodiless, but only bodiless as +objects, not as agents. Theres a most special, a most cunning, oh, a +most malicious difference! And yet, I say again, and swear it now, that +theres something all glorious and gracious in the wind. These warm +Trade Winds, at least, that in the clear heavens blow straight on, in +strong and steadfast, vigorous mildness; and veer not from their mark, +however the baser currents of the sea may turn and tack, and mightiest +Mississippies of the land swift and swerve about, uncertain where to go +at last. And by the eternal Poles! these same Trades that so directly +blow my good ship on; these Trades, or something like themsomething so +unchangeable, and full as strong, blow my keeled soul along! To it! +Aloft there! What dye see? + +Nothing, sir. + +Nothing! and noon at hand! The doubloon goes a-begging! See the sun! +Aye, aye, it must be so. Ive oversailed him. How, got the start? Aye, +hes chasing _me_ now; not I, _him_thats bad; I might have known it, +too. Fool! the linesthe harpoons hes towing. Aye, aye, I have run him +by last night. About! about! Come down, all of ye, but the regular look +outs! Man the braces! + +Steering as she had done, the wind had been somewhat on the Pequods +quarter, so that now being pointed in the reverse direction, the braced +ship sailed hard upon the breeze as she rechurned the cream in her own +white wake. + +Against the wind he now steers for the open jaw, murmured Starbuck to +himself, as he coiled the new-hauled main-brace upon the rail. God +keep us, but already my bones feel damp within me, and from the inside +wet my flesh. I misdoubt me that I disobey my God in obeying him! + +Stand by to sway me up! cried Ahab, advancing to the hempen basket. +We should meet him soon. + +Aye, aye, sir, and straightway Starbuck did Ahabs bidding, and once +more Ahab swung on high. + +A whole hour now passed; gold-beaten out to ages. Time itself now held +long breaths with keen suspense. But at last, some three points off the +weather bow, Ahab descried the spout again, and instantly from the +three mast-heads three shrieks went up as if the tongues of fire had +voiced it. + +Forehead to forehead I meet thee, this third time, Moby Dick! On deck +there!brace sharper up; crowd her into the winds eye. Hes too far +off to lower yet, Mr. Starbuck. The sails shake! Stand over that +helmsman with a top-maul! So, so; he travels fast, and I must down. But +let me have one more good round look aloft here at the sea; theres +time for that. An old, old sight, and yet somehow so young; aye, and +not changed a wink since I first saw it, a boy, from the sand-hills of +Nantucket! The same!the same!the same to Noah as to me. Theres a +soft shower to leeward. Such lovely leewardings! They must lead +somewhereto something else than common land, more palmy than the +palms. Leeward! the white whale goes that way; look to windward, then; +the better if the bitterer quarter. But good bye, good bye, old +mast-head! Whats this?green? aye, tiny mosses in these warped cracks. +No such green weather stains on Ahabs head! Theres the difference now +between mans old age and matters. But aye, old mast, we both grow old +together; sound in our hulls, though, are we not, my ship? Aye, minus a +leg, thats all. By heaven this dead wood has the better of my live +flesh every way. I cant compare with it; and Ive known some ships +made of dead trees outlast the lives of men made of the most vital +stuff of vital fathers. Whats that he said? he should still go before +me, my pilot; and yet to be seen again? But where? Will I have eyes at +the bottom of the sea, supposing I descend those endless stairs? and +all night Ive been sailing from him, wherever he did sink to. Aye, +aye, like many more thou toldst direful truth as touching thyself, O +Parsee; but, Ahab, there thy shot fell short. Good-bye, mast-headkeep +a good eye upon the whale, the while Im gone. Well talk to-morrow, +nay, to-night, when the white whale lies down there, tied by head and +tail. + +He gave the word; and still gazing round him, was steadily lowered +through the cloven blue air to the deck. + +In due time the boats were lowered; but as standing in his shallops +stern, Ahab just hovered upon the point of the descent, he waved to the +mate,who held one of the tackle-ropes on deckand bade him pause. + +Starbuck! + +Sir? + +For the third time my souls ship starts upon this voyage, Starbuck. + +Aye, sir, thou wilt have it so. + +Some ships sail from their ports, and ever afterwards are missing, +Starbuck! + +Truth, sir: saddest truth. + +Some men die at ebb tide; some at low water; some at the full of the +flood;and I feel now like a billow thats all one crested comb, +Starbuck. I am old;shake hands with me, man. + +Their hands met; their eyes fastened; Starbucks tears the glue. + +Oh, my captain, my captain!noble heartgo notgo not!see, its a +brave man that weeps; how great the agony of the persuasion then! + +Lower away!cried Ahab, tossing the mates arm from him. Stand by +the crew! + +In an instant the boat was pulling round close under the stern. + +The sharks! the sharks! cried a voice from the low cabin-window +there; O master, my master, come back! + +But Ahab heard nothing; for his own voice was high-lifted then; and the +boat leaped on. + +Yet the voice spake true; for scarce had he pushed from the ship, when +numbers of sharks, seemingly rising from out the dark waters beneath +the hull, maliciously snapped at the blades of the oars, every time +they dipped in the water; and in this way accompanied the boat with +their bites. It is a thing not uncommonly happening to the whale-boats +in those swarming seas; the sharks at times apparently following them +in the same prescient way that vultures hover over the banners of +marching regiments in the east. But these were the first sharks that +had been observed by the Pequod since the White Whale had been first +descried; and whether it was that Ahabs crew were all such +tiger-yellow barbarians, and therefore their flesh more musky to the +senses of the sharksa matter sometimes well known to affect +them,however it was, they seemed to follow that one boat without +molesting the others. + +Heart of wrought steel! murmured Starbuck gazing over the side, and +following with his eyes the receding boatcanst thou yet ring boldly +to that sight?lowering thy keel among ravening sharks, and followed by +them, open-mouthed to the chase; and this the critical third day?For +when three days flow together in one continuous intense pursuit; be +sure the first is the morning, the second the noon, and the third the +evening and the end of that thingbe that end what it may. Oh! my God! +what is this that shoots through me, and leaves me so deadly calm, yet +expectant,fixed at the top of a shudder! Future things swim before me, +as in empty outlines and skeletons; all the past is somehow grown dim. +Mary, girl! thou fadest in pale glories behind me; boy! I seem to see +but thy eyes grown wondrous blue. Strangest problems of life seem +clearing; but clouds sweep betweenIs my journeys end coming? My legs +feel faint; like his who has footed it all day. Feel thy heart,beats +it yet? Stir thyself, Starbuck!stave it offmove, move! speak +aloud!Mast-head there! See ye my boys hand on the hill?Crazed;aloft +there!keep thy keenest eye upon the boats:mark well the whale!Ho! +again!drive off that hawk! see! he peckshe tears the vanepointing +to the red flag flying at the main-truckHa! he soars away with +it!Wheres the old man now? seest thou that sight, oh Ahab!shudder, +shudder! + +The boats had not gone very far, when by a signal from the mast-headsa +downward pointed arm, Ahab knew that the whale had sounded; but +intending to be near him at the next rising, he held on his way a +little sideways from the vessel; the becharmed crew maintaining the +profoundest silence, as the head-beat waves hammered and hammered +against the opposing bow. + +Drive, drive in your nails, oh ye waves! to their uttermost heads +drive them in! ye but strike a thing without a lid; and no coffin and +no hearse can be mine:and hemp only can kill me! Ha! ha! + +Suddenly the waters around them slowly swelled in broad circles; then +quickly upheaved, as if sideways sliding from a submerged berg of ice, +swiftly rising to the surface. A low rumbling sound was heard; a +subterraneous hum; and then all held their breaths; as bedraggled with +trailing ropes, and harpoons, and lances, a vast form shot lengthwise, +but obliquely from the sea. Shrouded in a thin drooping veil of mist, +it hovered for a moment in the rainbowed air; and then fell swamping +back into the deep. Crushed thirty feet upwards, the waters flashed for +an instant like heaps of fountains, then brokenly sank in a shower of +flakes, leaving the circling surface creamed like new milk round the +marble trunk of the whale. + +Give way! cried Ahab to the oarsmen, and the boats darted forward to +the attack; but maddened by yesterdays fresh irons that corroded in +him, Moby Dick seemed combinedly possessed by all the angels that fell +from heaven. The wide tiers of welded tendons overspreading his broad +white forehead, beneath the transparent skin, looked knitted together; +as head on, he came churning his tail among the boats; and once more +flailed them apart; spilling out the irons and lances from the two +mates boats, and dashing in one side of the upper part of their bows, +but leaving Ahabs almost without a scar. + +While Daggoo and Queequeg were stopping the strained planks; and as the +whale swimming out from them, turned, and showed one entire flank as he +shot by them again; at that moment a quick cry went up. Lashed round +and round to the fishs back; pinioned in the turns upon turns in +which, during the past night, the whale had reeled the involutions of +the lines around him, the half torn body of the Parsee was seen; his +sable raiment frayed to shreds; his distended eyes turned full upon old +Ahab. + +The harpoon dropped from his hand. + +Befooled, befooled!drawing in a long lean breathAye, Parsee! I see +thee again.Aye, and thou goest before; and this, _this_ then is the +hearse that thou didst promise. But I hold thee to the last letter of +thy word. Where is the second hearse? Away, mates, to the ship! those +boats are useless now; repair them if ye can in time, and return to me; +if not, Ahab is enough to dieDown, men! the first thing that but +offers to jump from this boat I stand in, that thing I harpoon. Ye are +not other men, but my arms and my legs; and so obey me.Wheres the +whale? gone down again? + +But he looked too nigh the boat; for as if bent upon escaping with the +corpse he bore, and as if the particular place of the last encounter +had been but a stage in his leeward voyage, Moby Dick was now again +steadily swimming forward; and had almost passed the ship,which thus +far had been sailing in the contrary direction to him, though for the +present her headway had been stopped. He seemed swimming with his +utmost velocity, and now only intent upon pursuing his own straight +path in the sea. + +Oh! Ahab, cried Starbuck, not too late is it, even now, the third +day, to desist. See! Moby Dick seeks thee not. It is thou, thou, that +madly seekest him! + +Setting sail to the rising wind, the lonely boat was swiftly impelled +to leeward, by both oars and canvas. And at last when Ahab was sliding +by the vessel, so near as plainly to distinguish Starbucks face as he +leaned over the rail, he hailed him to turn the vessel about, and +follow him, not too swiftly, at a judicious interval. Glancing upwards, +he saw Tashtego, Queequeg, and Daggoo, eagerly mounting to the three +mast-heads; while the oarsmen were rocking in the two staved boats +which had but just been hoisted to the side, and were busily at work in +repairing them. One after the other, through the port-holes, as he +sped, he also caught flying glimpses of Stubb and Flask, busying +themselves on deck among bundles of new irons and lances. As he saw all +this; as he heard the hammers in the broken boats; far other hammers +seemed driving a nail into his heart. But he rallied. And now marking +that the vane or flag was gone from the main-mast-head, he shouted to +Tashtego, who had just gained that perch, to descend again for another +flag, and a hammer and nails, and so nail it to the mast. + +Whether fagged by the three days running chase, and the resistance to +his swimming in the knotted hamper he bore; or whether it was some +latent deceitfulness and malice in him: whichever was true, the White +Whales way now began to abate, as it seemed, from the boat so rapidly +nearing him once more; though indeed the whales last start had not +been so long a one as before. And still as Ahab glided over the waves +the unpitying sharks accompanied him; and so pertinaciously stuck to +the boat; and so continually bit at the plying oars, that the blades +became jagged and crunched, and left small splinters in the sea, at +almost every dip. + +Heed them not! those teeth but give new rowlocks to your oars. Pull +on! tis the better rest, the sharks jaw than the yielding water. + +But at every bite, sir, the thin blades grow smaller and smaller! + +They will last long enough! pull on!But who can tellhe +mutteredwhether these sharks swim to feast on the whale or on +Ahab?But pull on! Aye, all alive, nowwe near him. The helm! take the +helm! let me pass,and so saying two of the oarsmen helped him forward +to the bows of the still flying boat. + +At length as the craft was cast to one side, and ran ranging along with +the White Whales flank, he seemed strangely oblivious of its +advanceas the whale sometimes willand Ahab was fairly within the +smoky mountain mist, which, thrown off from the whales spout, curled +round his great, Monadnock hump; he was even thus close to him; when, +with body arched back, and both arms lengthwise high-lifted to the +poise, he darted his fierce iron, and his far fiercer curse into the +hated whale. As both steel and curse sank to the socket, as if sucked +into a morass, Moby Dick sideways writhed; spasmodically rolled his +nigh flank against the bow, and, without staving a hole in it, so +suddenly canted the boat over, that had it not been for the elevated +part of the gunwale to which he then clung, Ahab would once more have +been tossed into the sea. As it was, three of the oarsmenwho foreknew +not the precise instant of the dart, and were therefore unprepared for +its effectsthese were flung out; but so fell, that, in an instant two +of them clutched the gunwale again, and rising to its level on a +combing wave, hurled themselves bodily inboard again; the third man +helplessly dropping astern, but still afloat and swimming. + +Almost simultaneously, with a mighty volition of ungraduated, +instantaneous swiftness, the White Whale darted through the weltering +sea. But when Ahab cried out to the steersman to take new turns with +the line, and hold it so; and commanded the crew to turn round on their +seats, and tow the boat up to the mark; the moment the treacherous line +felt that double strain and tug, it snapped in the empty air! + +What breaks in me? Some sinew cracks!tis whole again; oars! oars! +Burst in upon him! + +Hearing the tremendous rush of the sea-crashing boat, the whale wheeled +round to present his blank forehead at bay; but in that evolution, +catching sight of the nearing black hull of the ship; seemingly seeing +in it the source of all his persecutions; bethinking itit may bea +larger and nobler foe; of a sudden, he bore down upon its advancing +prow, smiting his jaws amid fiery showers of foam. + +Ahab staggered; his hand smote his forehead. I grow blind; hands! +stretch out before me that I may yet grope my way. Ist night? + +The whale! The ship! cried the cringing oarsmen. + +Oars! oars! Slope downwards to thy depths, O sea, that ere it be for +ever too late, Ahab may slide this last, last time upon his mark! I +see: the ship! the ship! Dash on, my men! Will ye not save my ship? + +But as the oarsmen violently forced their boat through the +sledge-hammering seas, the before whale-smitten bow-ends of two planks +burst through, and in an instant almost, the temporarily disabled boat +lay nearly level with the waves; its half-wading, splashing crew, +trying hard to stop the gap and bale out the pouring water. + +Meantime, for that one beholding instant, Tashtegos mast-head hammer +remained suspended in his hand; and the red flag, half-wrapping him as +with a plaid, then streamed itself straight out from him, as his own +forward-flowing heart; while Starbuck and Stubb, standing upon the +bowsprit beneath, caught sight of the down-coming monster just as soon +as he. + +The whale, the whale! Up helm, up helm! Oh, all ye sweet powers of +air, now hug me close! Let not Starbuck die, if die he must, in a +womans fainting fit. Up helm, I sayye fools, the jaw! the jaw! Is +this the end of all my bursting prayers? all my life-long fidelities? +Oh, Ahab, Ahab, lo, thy work. Steady! helmsman, steady. Nay, nay! Up +helm again! He turns to meet us! Oh, his unappeasable brow drives on +towards one, whose duty tells him he cannot depart. My God, stand by me +now! + +Stand not by me, but stand under me, whoever you are that will now +help Stubb; for Stubb, too, sticks here. I grin at thee, thou grinning +whale! Who ever helped Stubb, or kept Stubb awake, but Stubbs own +unwinking eye? And now poor Stubb goes to bed upon a mattrass that is +all too soft; would it were stuffed with brushwood! I grin at thee, +thou grinning whale! Look ye, sun, moon, and stars! I call ye assassins +of as good a fellow as ever spouted up his ghost. For all that, I would +yet ring glasses with ye, would ye but hand the cup! Oh, oh! oh, oh! +thou grinning whale, but therell be plenty of gulping soon! Why fly ye +not, O Ahab! For me, off shoes and jacket to it; let Stubb die in his +drawers! A most mouldy and over salted death, though;cherries! +cherries! cherries! Oh, Flask, for one red cherry ere we die! + +Cherries? I only wish that we were where they grow. Oh, Stubb, I hope +my poor mothers drawn my part-pay ere this; if not, few coppers will +now come to her, for the voyage is up. + +From the ships bows, nearly all the seamen now hung inactive; hammers, +bits of plank, lances, and harpoons, mechanically retained in their +hands, just as they had darted from their various employments; all +their enchanted eyes intent upon the whale, which from side to side +strangely vibrating his predestinating head, sent a broad band of +overspreading semicircular foam before him as he rushed. Retribution, +swift vengeance, eternal malice were in his whole aspect, and spite of +all that mortal man could do, the solid white buttress of his forehead +smote the ships starboard bow, till men and timbers reeled. Some fell +flat upon their faces. Like dislodged trucks, the heads of the +harpooneers aloft shook on their bull-like necks. Through the breach, +they heard the waters pour, as mountain torrents down a flume. + +The ship! The hearse!the second hearse! cried Ahab from the boat; +its wood could only be American! + +Diving beneath the settling ship, the whale ran quivering along its +keel; but turning under water, swiftly shot to the surface again, far +off the other bow, but within a few yards of Ahabs boat, where, for a +time, he lay quiescent. + +I turn my body from the sun. What ho, Tashtego! let me hear thy +hammer. Oh! ye three unsurrendered spires of mine; thou uncracked keel; +and only god-bullied hull; thou firm deck, and haughty helm, and +Pole-pointed prow,death-glorious ship! must ye then perish, and +without me? Am I cut off from the last fond pride of meanest +shipwrecked captains? Oh, lonely death on lonely life! Oh, now I feel +my topmost greatness lies in my topmost grief. Ho, ho! from all your +furthest bounds, pour ye now in, ye bold billows of my whole foregone +life, and top this one piled comber of my death! Towards thee I roll, +thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with +thee; from hells heart I stab at thee; for hates sake I spit my last +breath at thee. Sink all coffins and all hearses to one common pool! +and since neither can be mine, let me then tow to pieces, while still +chasing thee, though tied to thee, thou damned whale! _Thus_, I give up +the spear! + +The harpoon was darted; the stricken whale flew forward; with igniting +velocity the line ran through the grooves;ran foul. Ahab stooped to +clear it; he did clear it; but the flying turn caught him round the +neck, and voicelessly as Turkish mutes bowstring their victim, he was +shot out of the boat, ere the crew knew he was gone. Next instant, the +heavy eye-splice in the ropes final end flew out of the stark-empty +tub, knocked down an oarsman, and smiting the sea, disappeared in its +depths. + +For an instant, the tranced boats crew stood still; then turned. The +ship? Great God, where is the ship? Soon they through dim, bewildering +mediums saw her sidelong fading phantom, as in the gaseous Fata +Morgana; only the uppermost masts out of water; while fixed by +infatuation, or fidelity, or fate, to their once lofty perches, the +pagan harpooneers still maintained their sinking lookouts on the sea. +And now, concentric circles seized the lone boat itself, and all its +crew, and each floating oar, and every lance-pole, and spinning, +animate and inanimate, all round and round in one vortex, carried the +smallest chip of the Pequod out of sight. + +But as the last whelmings intermixingly poured themselves over the +sunken head of the Indian at the mainmast, leaving a few inches of the +erect spar yet visible, together with long streaming yards of the flag, +which calmly undulated, with ironical coincidings, over the destroying +billows they almost touched;at that instant, a red arm and a hammer +hovered backwardly uplifted in the open air, in the act of nailing the +flag faster and yet faster to the subsiding spar. A sky-hawk that +tauntingly had followed the main-truck downwards from its natural home +among the stars, pecking at the flag, and incommoding Tashtego there; +this bird now chanced to intercept its broad fluttering wing between +the hammer and the wood; and simultaneously feeling that etherial +thrill, the submerged savage beneath, in his death-gasp, kept his +hammer frozen there; and so the bird of heaven, with archangelic +shrieks, and his imperial beak thrust upwards, and his whole captive +form folded in the flag of Ahab, went down with his ship, which, like +Satan, would not sink to hell till she had dragged a living part of +heaven along with her, and helmeted herself with it. + +Now small fowls flew screaming over the yet yawning gulf; a sullen +white surf beat against its steep sides; then all collapsed, and the +great shroud of the sea rolled on as it rolled five thousand years ago. + + +Epilogue + +AND I ONLY AM ESCAPED ALONE TO TELL THEE Job. + +The dramas done. Why then here does any one step forth?Because one +did survive the wreck. + +It so chanced, that after the Parsees disappearance, I was he whom the +Fates ordained to take the place of Ahabs bowsman, when that bowsman +assumed the vacant post; the same, who, when on the last day the three +men were tossed from out of the rocking boat, was dropped astern. So, +floating on the margin of the ensuing scene, and in full sight of it, +when the halfspent suction of the sunk ship reached me, I was then, but +slowly, drawn towards the closing vortex. When I reached it, it had +subsided to a creamy pool. Round and round, then, and ever contracting +towards the button-like black bubble at the axis of that slowly +wheeling circle, like another Ixion I did revolve. Till, gaining that +vital centre, the black bubble upward burst; and now, liberated by +reason of its cunning spring, and, owing to its great buoyancy, rising +with great force, the coffin life-buoy shot lengthwise from the sea, +fell over, and floated by my side. Buoyed up by that coffin, for almost +one whole day and night, I floated on a soft and dirgelike main. The +unharming sharks, they glided by as if with padlocks on their mouths; +the savage sea-hawks sailed with sheathed beaks. On the second day, a +sail drew near, nearer, and picked me up at last. It was the +devious-cruising Rachel, that in her retracing search after her missing +children, only found another orphan. -FINALE. - -Every limit is a beginning as well as an ending. Who can quit young -lives after being long in company with them, and not desire to know -what befell them in their after-years? For the fragment of a life, -however typical, is not the sample of an even web: promises may not be -kept, and an ardent outset may be followed by declension; latent powers -may find their long-waited opportunity; a past error may urge a grand -retrieval. - -Marriage, which has been the bourne of so many narratives, is still a -great beginning, as it was to Adam and Eve, who kept their honeymoon in -Eden, but had their first little one among the thorns and thistles of -the wilderness. It is still the beginning of the home epicthe gradual -conquest or irremediable loss of that complete union which makes the -advancing years a climax, and age the harvest of sweet memories in -common. - -Some set out, like Crusaders of old, with a glorious equipment of hope -and enthusiasm and get broken by the way, wanting patience with each -other and the world. - -All who have cared for Fred Vincy and Mary Garth will like to know that -these two made no such failure, but achieved a solid mutual happiness. -Fred surprised his neighbors in various ways. He became rather -distinguished in his side of the county as a theoretic and practical -farmer, and produced a work on the Cultivation of Green Crops and the -Economy of Cattle-Feeding which won him high congratulations at -agricultural meetings. In Middlemarch admiration was more reserved: -most persons there were inclined to believe that the merit of Freds -authorship was due to his wife, since they had never expected Fred -Vincy to write on turnips and mangel-wurzel. - -But when Mary wrote a little book for her boys, called Stories of -Great Men, taken from Plutarch, and had it printed and published by -Gripp & Co., Middlemarch, every one in the town was willing to give the -credit of this work to Fred, observing that he had been to the -University, where the ancients were studied, and might have been a -clergyman if he had chosen. - -In this way it was made clear that Middlemarch had never been deceived, -and that there was no need to praise anybody for writing a book, since -it was always done by somebody else. - -Moreover, Fred remained unswervingly steady. Some years after his -marriage he told Mary that his happiness was half owing to Farebrother, -who gave him a strong pull-up at the right moment. I cannot say that he -was never again misled by his hopefulness: the yield of crops or the -profits of a cattle sale usually fell below his estimate; and he was -always prone to believe that he could make money by the purchase of a -horse which turned out badlythough this, Mary observed, was of course -the fault of the horse, not of Freds judgment. He kept his love of -horsemanship, but he rarely allowed himself a days hunting; and when -he did so, it was remarkable that he submitted to be laughed at for -cowardliness at the fences, seeming to see Mary and the boys sitting on -the five-barred gate, or showing their curly heads between hedge and -ditch. - -There were three boys: Mary was not discontented that she brought forth -men-children only; and when Fred wished to have a girl like her, she -said, laughingly, that would be too great a trial to your mother. -Mrs. Vincy in her declining years, and in the diminished lustre of her -housekeeping, was much comforted by her perception that two at least of -Freds boys were real Vincys, and did not feature the Garths. But -Mary secretly rejoiced that the youngest of the three was very much -what her father must have been when he wore a round jacket, and showed -a marvellous nicety of aim in playing at marbles, or in throwing stones -to bring down the mellow pears. - -Ben and Letty Garth, who were uncle and aunt before they were well in -their teens, disputed much as to whether nephews or nieces were more -desirable; Ben contending that it was clear girls were good for less -than boys, else they would not be always in petticoats, which showed -how little they were meant for; whereupon Letty, who argued much from -books, got angry in replying that God made coats of skins for both Adam -and Eve alikealso it occurred to her that in the East the men too wore -petticoats. But this latter argument, obscuring the majesty of the -former, was one too many, for Ben answered contemptuously, The more -spooneys they! and immediately appealed to his mother whether boys -were not better than girls. Mrs. Garth pronounced that both were alike -naughty, but that boys were undoubtedly stronger, could run faster, and -throw with more precision to a greater distance. With this oracular -sentence Ben was well satisfied, not minding the naughtiness; but Letty -took it ill, her feeling of superiority being stronger than her -muscles. - -Fred never became richhis hopefulness had not led him to expect that; -but he gradually saved enough to become owner of the stock and -furniture at Stone Court, and the work which Mr. Garth put into his -hands carried him in plenty through those bad times which are always -present with farmers. Mary, in her matronly days, became as solid in -figure as her mother; but, unlike her, gave the boys little formal -teaching, so that Mrs. Garth was alarmed lest they should never be well -grounded in grammar and geography. Nevertheless, they were found quite -forward enough when they went to school; perhaps, because they had -liked nothing so well as being with their mother. When Fred was riding -home on winter evenings he had a pleasant vision beforehand of the -bright hearth in the wainscoted parlor, and was sorry for other men who -could not have Mary for their wife; especially for Mr. Farebrother. He -was ten times worthier of you than I was, Fred could now say to her, -magnanimously. To be sure he was, Mary answered; and for that reason -he could do better without me. But youI shudder to think what you -would have beena curate in debt for horse-hire and cambric -pocket-handkerchiefs! - -On inquiry it might possibly be found that Fred and Mary still inhabit -Stone Courtthat the creeping plants still cast the foam of their -blossoms over the fine stone-wall into the field where the walnut-trees -stand in stately rowand that on sunny days the two lovers who were -first engaged with the umbrella-ring may be seen in white-haired -placidity at the open window from which Mary Garth, in the days of old -Peter Featherstone, had often been ordered to look out for Mr. Lydgate. - -Lydgates hair never became white. He died when he was only fifty, -leaving his wife and children provided for by a heavy insurance on his -life. He had gained an excellent practice, alternating, according to -the season, between London and a Continental bathing-place; having -written a treatise on Gout, a disease which has a good deal of wealth -on its side. His skill was relied on by many paying patients, but he -always regarded himself as a failure: he had not done what he once -meant to do. His acquaintances thought him enviable to have so charming -a wife, and nothing happened to shake their opinion. Rosamond never -committed a second compromising indiscretion. She simply continued to -be mild in her temper, inflexible in her judgment, disposed to admonish -her husband, and able to frustrate him by stratagem. As the years went -on he opposed her less and less, whence Rosamond concluded that he had -learned the value of her opinion; on the other hand, she had a more -thorough conviction of his talents now that he gained a good income, -and instead of the threatened cage in Bride Street provided one all -flowers and gilding, fit for the bird of paradise that she resembled. -In brief, Lydgate was what is called a successful man. But he died -prematurely of diphtheria, and Rosamond afterwards married an elderly -and wealthy physician, who took kindly to her four children. She made a -very pretty show with her daughters, driving out in her carriage, and -often spoke of her happiness as a rewardshe did not say for what, -but probably she meant that it was a reward for her patience with -Tertius, whose temper never became faultless, and to the last -occasionally let slip a bitter speech which was more memorable than the -signs he made of his repentance. He once called her his basil plant; -and when she asked for an explanation, said that basil was a plant -which had flourished wonderfully on a murdered mans brains. Rosamond -had a placid but strong answer to such speeches. Why then had he chosen -her? It was a pity he had not had Mrs. Ladislaw, whom he was always -praising and placing above her. And thus the conversation ended with -the advantage on Rosamonds side. But it would be unjust not to tell, -that she never uttered a word in depreciation of Dorothea, keeping in -religious remembrance the generosity which had come to her aid in the -sharpest crisis of her life. - -Dorothea herself had no dreams of being praised above other women, -feeling that there was always something better which she might have -done, if she had only been better and known better. Still, she never -repented that she had given up position and fortune to marry Will -Ladislaw, and he would have held it the greatest shame as well as -sorrow to him if she had repented. They were bound to each other by a -love stronger than any impulses which could have marred it. No life -would have been possible to Dorothea which was not filled with emotion, -and she had now a life filled also with a beneficent activity which she -had not the doubtful pains of discovering and marking out for herself. -Will became an ardent public man, working well in those times when -reforms were begun with a young hopefulness of immediate good which has -been much checked in our days, and getting at last returned to -Parliament by a constituency who paid his expenses. Dorothea could have -liked nothing better, since wrongs existed, than that her husband -should be in the thick of a struggle against them, and that she should -give him wifely help. Many who knew her, thought it a pity that so -substantive and rare a creature should have been absorbed into the life -of another, and be only known in a certain circle as a wife and mother. -But no one stated exactly what else that was in her power she ought -rather to have donenot even Sir James Chettam, who went no further -than the negative prescription that she ought not to have married Will -Ladislaw. - -But this opinion of his did not cause a lasting alienation; and the way -in which the family was made whole again was characteristic of all -concerned. Mr. Brooke could not resist the pleasure of corresponding -with Will and Dorothea; and one morning when his pen had been -remarkably fluent on the prospects of Municipal Reform, it ran off into -an invitation to the Grange, which, once written, could not be done -away with at less cost than the sacrifice (hardly to be conceived) of -the whole valuable letter. During the months of this correspondence Mr. -Brooke had continually, in his talk with Sir James Chettam, been -presupposing or hinting that the intention of cutting off the entail -was still maintained; and the day on which his pen gave the daring -invitation, he went to Freshitt expressly to intimate that he had a -stronger sense than ever of the reasons for taking that energetic step -as a precaution against any mixture of low blood in the heir of the -Brookes. - -But that morning something exciting had happened at the Hall. A letter -had come to Celia which made her cry silently as she read it; and when -Sir James, unused to see her in tears, asked anxiously what was the -matter, she burst out in a wail such as he had never heard from her -before. - -Dorothea has a little boy. And you will not let me go and see her. And -I am sure she wants to see me. And she will not know what to do with -the babyshe will do wrong things with it. And they thought she would -die. It is very dreadful! Suppose it had been me and little Arthur, and -Dodo had been hindered from coming to see me! I wish you would be less -unkind, James! - -Good heavens, Celia! said Sir James, much wrought upon, what do you -wish? I will do anything you like. I will take you to town to-morrow if -you wish it. And Celia did wish it. - -It was after this that Mr. Brooke came, and meeting the Baronet in the -grounds, began to chat with him in ignorance of the news, which Sir -James for some reason did not care to tell him immediately. But when -the entail was touched on in the usual way, he said, My dear sir, it -is not for me to dictate to you, but for my part I would let that -alone. I would let things remain as they are. - -Mr. Brooke felt so much surprised that he did not at once find out how -much he was relieved by the sense that he was not expected to do -anything in particular. - -Such being the bent of Celias heart, it was inevitable that Sir James -should consent to a reconciliation with Dorothea and her husband. Where -women love each other, men learn to smother their mutual dislike. Sir -James never liked Ladislaw, and Will always preferred to have Sir -Jamess company mixed with another kind: they were on a footing of -reciprocal tolerance which was made quite easy only when Dorothea and -Celia were present. - -It became an understood thing that Mr. and Mrs. Ladislaw should pay at -least two visits during the year to the Grange, and there came -gradually a small row of cousins at Freshitt who enjoyed playing with -the two cousins visiting Tipton as much as if the blood of these -cousins had been less dubiously mixed. - -Mr. Brooke lived to a good old age, and his estate was inherited by -Dorotheas son, who might have represented Middlemarch, but declined, -thinking that his opinions had less chance of being stifled if he -remained out of doors. - -Sir James never ceased to regard Dorotheas second marriage as a -mistake; and indeed this remained the tradition concerning it in -Middlemarch, where she was spoken of to a younger generation as a fine -girl who married a sickly clergyman, old enough to be her father, and -in little more than a year after his death gave up her estate to marry -his cousinyoung enough to have been his son, with no property, and not -well-born. Those who had not seen anything of Dorothea usually observed -that she could not have been a nice woman, else she would not have -married either the one or the other. - -Certainly those determining acts of her life were not ideally -beautiful. They were the mixed result of young and noble impulse -struggling amidst the conditions of an imperfect social state, in which -great feelings will often take the aspect of error, and great faith the -aspect of illusion. For there is no creature whose inward being is so -strong that it is not greatly determined by what lies outside it. A new -Theresa will hardly have the opportunity of reforming a conventual -life, any more than a new Antigone will spend her heroic piety in -daring all for the sake of a brothers burial: the medium in which -their ardent deeds took shape is forever gone. But we insignificant -people with our daily words and acts are preparing the lives of many -Dorotheas, some of which may present a far sadder sacrifice than that -of the Dorothea whose story we know. - -Her finely touched spirit had still its fine issues, though they were -not widely visible. Her full nature, like that river of which Cyrus -broke the strength, spent itself in channels which had no great name on -the earth. But the effect of her being on those around her was -incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly -dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you -and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived -faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs. - -THE END - - - - -*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK MIDDLEMARCH *** +***
