Chapter 53 of the George Eliot novel 'Middlemarch'. A quality audio book by Howling Owl.

Middlemarch is a novel by George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Anne Evans, and is set in a fictitious Midlands town called Middlemarch during the period 1830–32.

It has multiple plots with a large cast of characters, and in addition to its distinct though interlocking narratives it pursues a number of underlying themes, including the status of women, the nature of marriage, idealism and self-interest, religion and hypocrisy, political reform, and education. The pace is leisurely, the tone is mildly didactic (with an authorial voice that occasionally bursts through the narrative), and the canvas is very broad. (from Wikipedia).

This is a Librivox recording and is read by Margaret Espaillat.
