For some time Casterbridge, by nature slow, made no response. Then one day Donald Farfrae broached the subject to Henchard by asking if he would have any objection to lend some rick-cloths to himself and a few others, who contemplated getting up an entertainment of some sort on the day named, and required a shelter for the same, to which they might charge admission at the rate of so much a head.
He went round to the back door, which had been left unfastened for Laban's entry, and passed in to the foot of the stair- case. "Mrs. Tall, I've come for the key of the granary, to get at the rick-cloths." said Oak, in a stentorian voice. "Is that you?" said Mrs. Susan Tall, half awake. "Yes." said Gabriel.

"Come along to bed, do, you drawlatching rogue keeping a body awake like this!"
The tables were laid parallel with the inner slope of the rampart, and awnings were stretched overhead. Passing to and fro the Mayor beheld the unattractive exterior of Farfrae's erection in the West Walk, rick-cloths of different sizes and colours being hung up to the arching trees without any regard to appearance. He was easy in his mind now, for his own preparations far transcended these.
