Likeable Casaubon?

Hello all,

I'm trying to recall where it is that the narrator of Middlemarch basically says that Casaubon is basically just like us in his flights of fancy and ego. He isn't one of the characters I'm looking at, but I want to use the quote in my essay. We read this passage in class, but I don't have my notes with me this weekend and I'm going nuts trying to find that bit.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about and where to find it? I don't remember any of the exact language so searches online haven't helped.

ETA: Okay, I found it on page 54 :)

  2. Between my boyfriend drugging me (with antihistamines--no worries) and not finding this quote, I think I wrote a whopping one paragraph yesterday. At least I got SOME work done.
