I shall approve, of course, dear Tamsie. Who can it be? I am quite at a loss to guess. No I am not 'tis the old doctor! not that I mean to call him old, for he is not very old after all. Ah I noticed when he attended you last time!" "No, no," she said hastily. "'Tis Mr. Venn." Clym's face suddenly became grave.
"No," he said slowly. "Upon the whole I don't blame you. But just consider how sudden it seems to me. Here was I, knowing nothing; and then I am told all at once that Tamsie is gone to be married. Well, I suppose there was nothing better to do. Do you know, Mother," he continued after a moment or two, looking suddenly interested in his own past history, "I once thought of Tamsin as a sweetheart?
He came indoors tonight about eight o'clock and said in an off-hand way, 'Tamsie, I have just found that I must go a journey. 'When? I said. 'Tonight, he said. 'Where? I asked him. 'I cannot tell you at present, he said; 'I shall be back again tomorrow. He then went and busied himself in looking up his things, and took no notice of me at all.
There are fifty of them out there if there's one. You stay in this room with Thomasin; I'll go out and face them. You must stay now, for my sake, till they are gone, so that it may seem as if all was right. Come, Tamsie dear, don't go making a scene we must marry after this; that you can see as well as I. Sit still, that's all and don't speak much. I'll manage them. Blundering fools!"
When she was in a high wind her light body was blown against trees and banks like a heron's. When she was frightened she darted noiselessly like a kingfisher. When she was serene she skimmed like a swallow, and that is how she was moving now. "You are looking very blithe, upon my word, Tamsie," said Mrs. Yeobright, with a sad smile. "How is Damon?" "He is very well."
"I have long been wanting, Thomasin," he began, "to say something about a matter that concerns both our futures." "And you are going to say it now?" she remarked quickly, colouring as she met his gaze. "Do stop a minute, Clym, and let me speak first, for oddly enough, I have been wanting to say something to you." "By all means say on, Tamsie."

"That's right, Tamsie," he said heartily, as though recalled to himself by the sight of her, "you have decided to come down. I am glad of it." "Hush no, no," she said quickly. "I only came to speak to you." "But why not join us?" "I cannot. At least I would rather not. I am not well enough, and we shall have plenty of time together now you are going to be home a good long holiday."
We cannot get off till then. I think it will be a month or more." "Yes, yes. Of course. Ah, Cousin Tamsie, you will get over your trouble one little month will take you through it, and bring something to console you; but I shall never get over mine, and no consolation will come!" "Clym, you are unjust to yourself. Depend upon it, Aunt thought kindly of you.
