" 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 again — he won't bear the curb long ; ' I was tempted to do the opposite of what I am doing — to hold my tongue and wait while you went down the ladder again, betting first and then * 72 MIDDLEMARCH. " I have not... made any bets," said Fred, hastily. " Glad to hear it. But I say, my prompt- ing was to look on and see yon take the wrong turning, wear out Garth's patience, and lose the best opportunity of your life — the opportunity which you made some rather difficult effort to secure. You can guess the feeling which raised that temptation in me — I 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.
