Mrs. Bingham was of the same mind. She dwelt much to herself on the
fact that Mrs. Midleton's great-grandfather must have been a lord. She
secretly hoped that as a wine merchant's wife she might obtain admission
into a "sphere," as she called it, from which the other ladies in the
town might be excluded. Mrs. Bingham already foretasted the bliss of an
invitation to the rectory to meet Lady Caroline from Thaxton Manor; she
already foretasted the greater bliss of not meeting her intimate friends
there, and that most exquisite conceivable bliss of telling them
afterwards all about the party.

Mrs. Midleton and her husband returned on a Saturday afternoon. The
road from Thaxton cross-roads did not lie through the town: the
carriage was closed and nobody saw her. When they came to the rectory
the Doctor pointed to the verse in white paint on the wall, "It shall be
taken out," he said, "before to-morrow morning: to-morrow is Sunday."
He was expected to preach on that day and the church was crammed a
quarter of an hour before the service began. At five minutes to eleven
a lady and child entered and walked to the rector's pew. The
congregation was stupefied with amazement. Mouths were agape, a hum of
exclamations arose, and people on the further side of the church stood
up.

It was Mrs. Fairfax! Nobody had conjectured that she and Mrs. Leighton
were the same person. It was unimaginable that a dressmaker should have
had near ancestors in the peerage. It was more than a year and a half
since she left the town. Mrs. Carter was able to say that not a single
letter had been addressed to her, and she was almost forgotten.

A few days afterwards Mrs. Sweeting had a little note requesting her to
take tea with the Rector and his wife. Nobody was asked to meet her.
Mrs. Bingham had called the day before, and had been extremely
apologetic.

"I am afraid, Mrs. Midleton, you must have thought me sometimes very
rude to you."

To which Mrs. Midleton replied graciously, "I am sure if you had been it
would have been quite excusable."

"Extremely kind of you to say so, Mrs. Midleton."

Mrs. Cobb also called. "I'll just let her see," said Mrs. Cobb to
herself; and she put on a gown which Mrs. Midleton as Mrs. Fairfax had
made for her.

"You'll remember this gown, Mrs. Midleton?"

"Perfectly well. It is not quite a fit on the shoulders. If you will
let me have it back again it will give me great pleasure to alter it for
you."

By degrees, however, Mrs. Midleton came to be loved by many people in
Langborough. Mr. Sweeting not long afterwards died in debt, and Mrs.
Sweeting, the old housekeeper being also dead, was taken into the
rectory as her successor, and became Mrs. Midleton's trusted friend.



Footnotes:

{10} Since 1868 the Reminiscences and his Life have been published
which put this estimate of him beyond all doubt. It is much to be
regretted that a certain theory, a certain irresistible tendency to
arrange facts so as to prove preconceived notions, a tendency more
dangerous and unhistorical even than direct suppression of the truth or
invention of what is not true, should have ruined Carlyle's biography.
Professor Norton's edition of the Reminiscences should be compared with
Mr. Froude's.

{180} My aunt Eleanor was thought to be a bit of a pagan by the
evangelical part of our family. My mother when speaking of her to me
used to say, "Your heathen aunt." She was well-educated, but the better
part of her education she received abroad after her engagement, which
took place when she was eighteen years old. She was the only member of
our family in the upper middle class. Her husband was Thomas Charteris,
junior partner in a bank.
