Venn lifted the box, and behold a triplet of sixes was disclosed. Wildeve was full of fury. While the reddleman was grasping the stakes Wildeve seized the dice and hurled them, box and all, into the darkness, uttering a fearful imprecation. Then he arose and began stamping up and down like a madman. "It is all over, then?" said Venn. "No, no!" cried Wildeve. "I mean to have another chance yet.
The report that Diggory had brought of the wedding, correct as far as it went, was deficient in one significant particular, which had escaped him through his being at some distance back in the church. When Thomasin was tremblingly engaged in signing her name Wildeve had flung towards Eustacia a glance that said plainly, "I have punished you now."
Its origin was unmistakable it was the fall of a body into the stream in the adjoining mead, apparently at a point near the weir. Both started. "Good God! can it be she?" said Clym. "Why should it be she?" said Wildeve, in his alarm forgetting that he had hitherto screened himself. "Ah! that's you, you traitor, is it?" cried Yeobright. "Why should it be she?
We have been told what happens when a woman deliberates; and the epigram is not always terminable with woman, provided that one be in the case, and that a fair one.

The arrangement with Wildeve was that he should meet her at the church to guard against any unpleasant curiosity which might have affected them had they been seen walking off together in the usual country way. Aunt and niece stood together in the bedroom where the bride was dressing.

"Well, really, now I think we must be moving," said Humphrey, observing the emptiness of the vessel. "But we'll gie 'em another song?" said Grandfer Cantle. "I'm as full of notes as a bird!" "Thank you, Grandfer," said Wildeve. "But we will not trouble you now.
Wildeve cooled down from his state of high indignation to a restless dissatisfaction with himself, the scene, the constable's wife, and the whole set of circumstances. He arose and left the house.
