And the tinman turned to look for his intended son-in-law; but frightened at the sight of the fair claimant of his hand and person, the bridegroom had absconded, and John Parsons and the mayor had nothing for it but to rejoin the pretty Harriet, smiling through her tears as she sate with her bride-maiden in the coach at the churchyard-gate.
She would not make herself conspicuous by waiting on the spot, and she started to get past the church into the lane. But as she reached the churchyard-gate the people began pouring out, and Tess found herself in the midst of them.
"If it be Valentine Kalondai he will come hither, and we will take him prisoner; but if it be the devil 'twere best to leave him alone." That was very sage advice, certainly. The horseman found the churchyard-gate open and went in. He went straight to the spot where he had seen the flames shoot up.

"As you see, M'sieu' le Cure." "Well, it is a mystery which time no doubt will clear up. Meanwhile, let us be thankful to God," said the Cure. They parted, the Cure going through a side-gate into his own garden, Jo passing out of the churchyard-gate through which Rosalie had gone. He looked down the road towards the village. "Well!" said a voice in his ear. Paulette Dubois stood before him.
