“ 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 can’t forgive an able man for differing from them . And that money - winning business is really a blot . You don’t , of course , see many Middlemarch people : but Mr . Ladislaw , who is constantly seeing Mr . Brooke , is a great friend of Mr . Farebrother’s old ladies , and would be glad to sing the Vicar’s praises . One of the old ladies — Miss Noble , the aunt — is 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 Ladislaw’s look — a sort of Daphnis in coat and waistcoat ; and this little old maid reaching up to his arm — they 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 Lydgate’s innocent introduction of Ladislaw painful to her . As was usual with him in matters of personal gossip , Lydgate had quite forgotten Rosamond’s 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 . Casaubon’s death he had hardly seen Ladislaw , and he had heard no rumor to warn him that Mr . Brooke’s 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 one’s 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 .
