"'Won back his watch, won back his money, and went out of the door a rich man," added Venn sentence by sentence, as stake after stake passed over to him. "Five more!" shouted Wildeve, dashing down the money. "And three casts be hanged one shall decide." The red automaton opposite lapsed into silence, nodded, and followed his example.
"Because you are yet in darkness," said Jeph, contemptuously. "Hold your tongue. I must be off at once. Market folk can get into the town by the low lane out there, away from the camp of the spoilers, early in the morning, and I must hasten to enlist under Captain Venn.
At length he asked her what she was thinking of so intently. "I am thoroughly perplexed," she said candidly. "I cannot for my life think who it is that Diggory Venn is so much in love with. None of the girls at the Maypole were good enough for him, and yet she must have been there."
I hope you will not set your heart against me for writing plainly, but I felt you might try to see me again, and it is better that we should not meet. I shall always think of you as a good man, and be anxious for your well-doing. I send this by Jane Orchard's little maid, And remain Diggory, your faithful friend, To MR. VENN, Dairy-farmer.
Brimming with the subtilized misery that he was capable of feeling, he followed the opposite way towards the inn. About the same moment that Wildeve stepped into the highway Venn also had reached it at a point a hundred yards further on; and he, hearing the same wheels, likewise waited till the carriage should come up. When he saw who sat therein he seemed to be disappointed.
As she told him it she turned pale and then red and then pale again oh, what a passion he would fly into. How he would excite himself. And how angry he would be with her. For they had never troubled about his mother since they left the Venn, never again. She could not tell him any more. He did not ask any other questions.
"Then you have not seen Christian or any of the Egdon folks?" he said. "No. I have only just returned after a long stay away. I called here the day before I left." "And you have heard nothing?" "Nothing." "My mother is dead." "Dead!" said Venn mechanically. "Her home now is where I shouldn't mind having mine."
His earnest efforts in behalf of the negro were as plainly the result of Evangelicalism as was the munificence of the Thorntons or the preaching of Venn. When Wilberforce was first impressed seriously, and was in doubt what plan of life to adopt, he consulted, like many others, John Newton. He could not have had recourse to a better adviser.
He was then led to consult John Newton, and was advised by him to attend the ministry of Thomas Scott at the Lock Hospital, from which he himself tells us that he derived great benefit; and he afterwards attended regularly the ministry of J. Venn. Surely these facts speak for themselves.
Even the sun, which sets there in greater beauty than anywhere else blushing so deeply that the whole sky blushes with it, that the winding Venn rivulet hedged in by cushions of moss, that every pool, every peat-hole full of water reflects its beams ruddy-gold, and the sad Venn itself wears a mantle of glowing splendour even this sun brought no glaringly bright light with it.
