But anybody can see that he is already on the way to be a plain, well-balanced man. Somewhat earlier than usual he is losing the fanciful capricious qualities and settling down into the stiff backbone of the nation. Conversation was not abundant. Said Mrs. Omicron suddenly, with an ingratiating accent: "What about that ring that I was to have?"
He did appreciably and doubly and finally impair the conjugal happiness for it must not be forgotten that in creating a grievance for himself he also gave his wife a grievance. He did, in fine, contribute to the general mass of misunderstanding between sex and sex. If he is reading this, as he assuredly is, Mr. Omicron will up and exclaim: "My wife a grievance! Absurd!
He gave the Greek letter Omicron as his name, and no further questions were asked him. Divesting himself of the rug or mantle, which he wore thrown over one shoulder after the manner of a plaid, he stood forth in the thin loose tunic which formed his only garment, and tightened his belt as he toed the line.
This little conversation took place after Mr Rerechild's first visit to his patient: what steps were immediately taken for the relief of the sufferer we need not describe. They were doubtless well intended, and were, perhaps, as well adapted to stave off the coming evil day as any that Dr Fillgrave, or even the great Sir Omicron Pie might have used. And then Dr Thorne arrived.
"Oh ah hasn't he? Poor man! I'm sure I'm very sorry. I suppose Sir Omicron has not arrived yet?" "No, not till the 9.15 P.M. train." "I wonder they didn't have a special. They say Dr. Trefoil is very rich." "Very rich, I believe," said Mr. Slope. "But the truth is, all the doctors in London can do no good no other good than to show that every possible care has been taken. Poor Dr.
Do you in your mind's eye see her cannily choosing beef at the butcher's, or shining for your pleasure in the drawing-room? And then Mrs. Omicron is, perhaps, not so much of an amateur as you assume. People learn by practice. Is there any reason in human nature why a complex machine such as a house may be worked with fewer breakdowns than an office or manufactory?
Sir Omicron and the lesser provincial lights had their consultation, and the lesser lights went their way to Barchester and Silverbridge, leaving Sir Omicron to enjoy the hospitality of Greshamsbury. "You should have Thorne back here, Mr Gresham," said Sir Omicron, almost in a whisper, when they were quite alone. "Doctor Fillgrave is a very good man, and so is Dr Century; very good, I am sure.
"I don't know how you may take it, Bell; but I think it very good news:" the squire never called his wife Bell, except when he wanted her to be on particularly good terms with him. "Well?" said she again. She was not over-anxious to be gracious, and did not reciprocate his familiarity. "Sir Omicron says that you should have Thorne back again, and upon my honour, I cannot but agree with him.
But when you come home and complain that things are askew in your masculine establishment, and that a period of economy must set in, does she say to you with scorn: "Don't dare to mention coffee to-night. No; she makes the best of it. She is sympathetic. And you, Mr. Omicron, would be excessively startled and wounded if she were not sympathetic.
Sir Omicron Pie is here, or will be very shortly; but all that even Sir Omicron can do, is to ratify the sentence of his less distinguished brethren that nothing can be done. Poor Dr Trefoil's race on this side of the grave is run. I do not know whether you knew him. He was a good, quiet, charitable man, of the old school of course, as any clergyman over seventy years of age must necessarily be.
