Hardy must have heard, with comfort in the thought of its literary possibilities, the following dialogue on the cleverness of women. It occurs in the last chapter of The Woodlanders. A man who is always spoken of as the 'hollow-turner, a phrase obviously descriptive of his line of business, which related to wooden bowls, spigots, cheese-vats, and funnels, talks with John Upjohn.
Peeping out, she saw them bustling about, the hollow-turner among the rest; he was loading his wares wooden-bowls, dishes, spigots, spoons, cheese-vats, funnels, and so on upon one of her father's wagons, who carried them to the fair for him every year out of neighborly kindness.
