“ To be sure , I will write , my dear . He’s a very clever young fellow — this young Ladislaw — I dare say will be a rising young man . It’s a good letter — marks his sense of things , you know . However , I will tell him about Casaubon . ” But the end of Mr . Brooke’s 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 worded — surprisingly 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 together — it also felt such an interest in a young man who was starting in life with a stock of ideas — that by the end of the second page it had persuaded Mr .

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 tremble — then 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 ? ”
