Lucetta, light as a sylph, ran forward and seized his hands, whereupon Farfrae duly kissed her. "Oh!" she cried playfully, turning to the window. "See the blinds are not drawn down, and the people can look in what a scandal!" When the candles were lighted, the curtains drawn, and the twain sat at tea, she noticed that he looked serious.
At Elizabeth-Jane mentioning how greatly Lucetta had been jeopardized, he exhibited an agitation different in kind no less than in intensity from any she had seen in him before. He became so absorbed in the circumstance that he scarcely had sufficient knowledge of what he was doing to think of helping her up beside him. "She has gone on with Mr. Henchard, you say?" he inquired at last. "Yes.
How do I appear to people?" she said languidly. "Well a little worn," answered Elizabeth, eyeing her as a critic eyes a doubtful painting; fetching the glass she enabled Lucetta to survey herself in it, which Lucetta anxiously did. "I wonder if I wear well, as times go!" she observed after a while. "Yes fairly. "Where am I worst?" "Under your eyes I notice a little brownness there." "Yes.
Possibly they were destroyed; but she could have wished that they had never been written. The rencounter with Farfrae and his bearings towards Lucetta had made the reflective Elizabeth more observant of her brilliant and amiable companion.

Perhaps not. But will you come and walk with me, and I will show 'ee what I mean." She agreed willingly, and he took her over the highway, and by the lonely path to Ten Hatches. He walked restlessly, as if some haunting shade, unseen of her, hovered round him and troubled his glance. She would gladly have talked of Lucetta, but feared to disturb him.
"Yes. She returned this morning," replied his stepdaughter. "But she is not indoors. She has gone for a walk along the turnpike-road to Port-Bredy. She will be home by dusk." After a few words, which only served to reveal his restless impatience, he left the house again. At this hour Lucetta was bounding along the road to Port-Bredy just as Elizabeth had announced.
