Oh, Shmoop is a home where the buffalo roam, where the nerds and the coolest kids play; where never is heard a discouraging word, and the Shmoints do flow freely all day.
The gossip about how Mr. Casaubon's will made it impossible for Dorothea to marry Will Ladislaw without giving up her property eventually makes its way to Rosamond.
Lydgate warns her never to mention it to Will, but she ignores his advice as usual.
She flirtingly mentions it to Will the next time they're alone.
He's immediately angry and upset, especially because of her careless flirtatiousness.
He grabs his hat and leaves.
Rosamond feels vaguely jealous. She wants everyone to be in love with her, and doesn't like that she's not the center of Will's universe.
It wasn't the first time she'd gone against her husband's wishes that day – she had gone to her father to ask for money that morning, and he'd said no way.
She's also depressed that Lydgate's rich relatives haven't written to her.
