I married him because I loved him, but I won't say that I didn't love him partly because I thought I saw a promise of that life in him." "You have dropped into your old mournful key." "But I am not going to be depressed," she cried perversely. "I began a new system by going to that dance, and I mean to stick to it. Clym can sing merrily; why should not I?" Wildeve looked thoughtfully at her.
"I could not do it then, nor can I now. Sometimes more bitterness is sown in five minutes than can be got rid of in a whole life; and that may be the case here." She paused a few moments, and added, "If you had never returned to your native place, Clym, what a blessing it would have been for you!... It has altered the destinies of " "Three people." "Five," Eustacia thought; but she kept that in.
Dear Clym, you'll go back again?" Clym shook his head, and looked at the eclipse. "If you'll go back again I'll be something," she said tenderly, putting her head near his breast. "If you'll agree I'll give my promise, without making you wait a minute longer." "How extraordinary that you and my mother should be of one mind about this!" said Yeobright. "I have vowed not to go back, Eustacia.
"I rather think she had you," said Fairway. "No," said Grandfer Cantle, his countenance slightly flagging. "'Tisn't so bad as that with me?" "Seemingly 'tis, however, is it because of the wedding that Clym is coming home a' Christmas to make a new arrangement because his mother is now left in the house alone?" "Yes, yes that's it. But, Timothy, hearken to me," said the Grandfer earnestly.
"She came back to my house after seeing Eustacia." "The worst thing I dreaded has come to pass. Was mother much disturbed when she came to you, Thomasin?" "Yes." "Very much indeed?" "Yes." Clym leant his elbow upon the post of the garden gate, and covered his eyes with his hand. "Don't trouble about it, Clym. They may get to be friends." He shook his head.
Clym Yeobright was not at home. Since the Christmas party he had gone on a few days' visit to a friend about ten miles off. The shadowy form seen by Venn to part from Wildeve in the porch, and quickly withdraw into the house, was Thomasin's. On entering she threw down a cloak which had been carelessly wrapped round her, and came forward to the light, where Mrs.

Though she was no lover of money she loved what money could bring; and the new accessories she imagined around him clothed Wildeve with a great deal of interest.
Clym watched her as she retired towards the sun. The luminous rays wrapped her up with her increasing distance, and the rustle of her dress over the sprouting sedge and grass died away. As he watched, the dead flat of the scenery overpowered him, though he was fully alive to the beauty of that untarnished early summer green which was worn for the nonce by the poorest blade.
When they were near the house he said, "It is too late for me to see your grandfather tonight. Do you think he will object to it?" "I will speak to him. I am so accustomed to be my own mistress that it did not occur to me that we should have to ask him." Then they lingeringly separated, and Clym descended towards Blooms-End.
But I know my course, and you know that I know it. I hope for the best." "And so do I, and we will both continue to," said Mrs. Yeobright, rising and kissing her. "Then the wedding, if it comes off, will be on the morning of the very day Clym comes home?" "Yes. I decided that it ought to be over before he came.
