On reaching this place Mrs. Yeobright felt distressingly agitated, weary, and unwell. She ascended, and sat down under their shade to recover herself, and to consider how best to break the ground with Eustacia, so as not to irritate a woman underneath whose apparent indolence lurked passions even stronger and more active than her own.
Yeobright were to die, d'ye think we should be took up and tried for the manslaughter of a woman?" "No, they couldn't bring it in as that," said Sam, "unless they could prove we had been poachers at some time of our lives. But she'll fetch round." "Now, if I had been stung by ten adders I should hardly have lost a day's work for't," said Grandfer Cantle. "Such is my spirit when I am on my mettle.
"She went and sat under the trees at the Devil's Bellows." "Good God! this is all news to me!" "You never told me this before?" said Susan. "No, Mother; because I didn't like to tell 'ee I had been so far. I was picking blackhearts, and went further than I meant." "What did she do then?" said Yeobright. "Looked at a man who came up and went into your house."
"Is he kind to you, Thomasin?" And Mrs. Yeobright observed her narrowly. "Pretty fairly." "Is that honestly said?" "Yes, aunt. I would tell you if he were unkind." She added, blushing, and with hesitation, "He I don't know if I ought to complain to you about this, but I am not quite sure what to do. I want some money, you know, aunt some to buy little things for myself and he doesn't give me any.
On an evening such as this Yeobright descended into the Blooms-End valley from beside that very pool, where he had been standing with another person quite silently and quite long enough to hear all this puny stir of resurrection in nature; yet he had not heard it. His walk was rapid as he came down, and he went with a springy trend.
"He has seen her lately, and has asked me for permission to pay his addresses to her. She may not refuse him twice." "What is his name?" Mrs. Yeobright declined to say. "He is a man Thomasin likes," she added, "and one whose constancy she respects at least. It seems to me that what she refused then she would be glad to get now. She is much annoyed at her awkward position."
Mr. Yeobright had got one pot of the bones, and was going to bring 'em home real skellington bones but 'twas ordered otherwise. You'll be relieved to hear that he gave away his pot and all, on second thoughts; and a blessed thing for ye, Mis'ess Yeobright, considering the wind o' nights." "Gave it away?" "Yes. To Miss Vye. She has a cannibal taste for such churchyard furniture seemingly."
Eustacia had not long been gone when there came a knock at the door of the bedroom; and Yeobright said, "Well?" It was the servant; and she replied, "Somebody from Mrs. Wildeve's have called to tell 'ee that the mis'ess and the baby are getting on wonderful well, and the baby's name is to be Eustacia Clementine." And the girl retired. "What a mockery!" said Clym.
Her normal manner among the heathfolk had that reticence which results from the consciousness of superior communicative power. But the effect of coming into society and light after lonely wandering in darkness is a sociability in the comer above its usual pitch, expressed in the features even more than in words. "Why, 'tis Mis'ess Yeobright," said Fairway.
To anybody but a half-blind man it would have said, "You want another of the knocks which have already laid you so low." She called the boy downstairs, asked Clym to sit down on a stool, and continued, "Now, Johnny, tell Mr. Yeobright anything you can call to mind." "You have not forgotten how you walked with the poor lady on that hot day?" said Clym. "No," said the boy.
