When she got a little further round to the left, and drew nearer, Bathsheba could see the newcomer's profile against the sunny sky, and knew the wavy sweep from forehead to chin, with neither angle nor decisive line anywhere about it, to be the familiar contour of Liddy Smallbury. Bathsheba's heart bounded with gratitude in the thought that she was not altogether deserted, and she jumped up.
"Liddy," said Bathsheba, on going to bed that night, "I want you to call me at seven o'clock to-morrow, In case I shouldn't wake." "But you always do wake afore then, ma'am." "Yes, but I have something important to do, which I'll tell you of when the time comes, and it's best to make sure." Bathsheba, however, awoke voluntarily at four, nor could she by any contrivance get to sleep again.
And do not let them know that I have been crying about him, because it will be dreadful for me, and no good to him, poor thing!"Death's head himself shan't wring it from me, mistress, if I've a mind to keep anything; and I'll always be your friend." replied Liddy, emphatically, at the same time bringing a few more tears into her own eyes, not from any particular necessity, but from an artistic sense of making herself in keeping with the remainder of the picture, which seems to influence women at such times.
"Who are you speaking of?" she asked. There was a pause before anybody replied. At last Liddy said frankly," What was passing was a bit of a word about yourself, miss." "I thought so! Maryann and Liddy and Temper- ance now I forbid you to suppose such things. You know I don't care the least for Mr. Troy not I. Every- body knows how much I hate him.
Open, Boldwood shut, Teddy. No; it's more likely to fall open. Open, Teddy shut, Boldwood." The book went fluttering in the air and came down shut. Bathsheba, a small yawn upon her mouth, took the pen, and with off-hand serenity directed the missive to Boldwood. "Now light a candle, Liddy. Which seal shall we use? Here's a unicorn's head there's nothing in that. What's this? two doves no.
"Well, I mean to my face, as you do," she went on, allowing herself to be further lured into a conversation that intention had rigorously forbidden. "But you know they think so?" "No that is I certainly have heard Liddy say they do, but " She paused. Capitulation that was the purport of the simple reply, guarded as it was capitulation, unknown to herself.
This letter reached our house on her wedding-day after she had left for her honey-moon trip. "Shortly after her return, her aunt Liddy died, and as she was left sole heiress to the money and property, she was obliged to go to the funeral: there, she met Ernest Dalton once again. I believe their interview was heart-rending.
And then, as he saw a look of pain come into his would-be benefactor's face, he continued: "Now, I will tell you what I am willing, and should be more than glad to do. Let Liddy and me keep house for you, and I will manage the farm, under your direction. That is enough, and all I can accept." "I respect your feeling of independence," replied Mr. Camp, a little sadly, "but it won't work.
I could fancy Liddy's face when she missed the extra pieces of china she had opposed Rosie from the start. If Liddy once finds a prophecy fulfilled, especially an unpleasant one, she never allows me to forget it.
The farmer had never turned his head once, but with eyes fixed on the most advanced point along the road, passed as unconsciously and abstractedly as if Bathsheba and her charms were thin air. "He's an interesting man don't you think so?" she remarked. "O yes, very. Everybody owns it," replied Liddy.
