It
was
an
anxious
quarter
of
an
hour
that
intervened
between
the
messenger
’
s
departure
and
the
sound
of
the
horse
’
s
tramp
again
outside
.
She
could
not
watch
this
time
,
but
,
leaning
over
the
old
bureau
at
which
she
had
written
the
letter
,
closed
her
eyes
,
as
if
to
keep
out
both
hope
and
fear
.
The
case
,
however
,
was
a
promising
one
.
Gabriel
was
not
angry
:
he
was
simply
neutral
,
although
her
first
command
had
been
so
haughty
.
Such
imperiousness
would
have
damned
a
little
less
beauty
;
and
on
the
other
hand
,
such
beauty
would
have
redeemed
a
little
less
imperiousness
.
She
went
out
when
the
horse
was
heard
,
and
looked
up
.
A
mounted
figure
passed
between
her
and
the
sky
,
and
drew
on
towards
the
field
of
sheep
,
the
rider
turning
his
face
in
receding
.
Gabriel
looked
at
her
.
It
was
a
moment
when
a
woman
’
s
eyes
and
tongue
tell
distinctly
opposite
tales
.
Bathsheba
looked
full
of
gratitude
,
and
she
said
:
—
"
Oh
,
Gabriel
,
how
could
you
serve
me
so
unkindly
!
"
Such
a
tenderly
-
shaped
reproach
for
his
previous
delay
was
the
one
speech
in
the
language
that
he
could
pardon
for
not
being
commendation
of
his
readiness
now
.
Gabriel
murmured
a
confused
reply
,
and
hastened
on
.
She
knew
from
the
look
which
sentence
in
her
note
had
brought
him
.
Bathsheba
followed
to
the
field
.
Gabriel
was
already
among
the
turgid
,
prostrate
forms
.
He
had
flung
off
his
coat
,
rolled
up
his
shirt
-
sleeves
,
and
taken
from
his
pocket
the
instrument
of
salvation
It
was
a
small
tube
or
trochar
,
with
a
lance
passing
down
the
inside
;
and
Gabriel
began
to
use
it
with
a
dexterity
that
would
have
graced
a
hospital
surgeon
.
Passing
his
hand
over
the
sheep
’
s
left
flank
,
and
selecting
the
proper
point
,
he
punctured
the
skin
and
rumen
with
the
lance
as
it
stood
in
the
tube
;
then
he
suddenly
withdrew
the
lance
,
retaining
the
tube
in
its
place
.
A
current
of
air
rushed
up
the
tube
,
forcible
enough
to
have
extinguished
a
candle
held
at
the
orifice
.
It
has
been
said
that
mere
ease
after
torment
is
delight
for
a
time
;
and
the
countenances
of
these
poor
creatures
expressed
it
now
.
Forty
-
nine
operations
were
successfully
performed
.
Owing
to
the
great
hurry
necessitated
by
the
far
-
gone
state
of
some
of
the
flock
,
Gabriel
missed
his
aim
in
one
case
,
and
in
one
only
—
striking
wide
of
the
mark
,
and
inflicting
a
mortal
blow
at
once
upon
the
suffering
ewe
.
Four
had
died
;
three
recovered
without
an
operation
.
The
total
number
of
sheep
which
had
thus
strayed
and
injured
themselves
so
dangerously
was
fifty
-
seven
.
When
the
love
-
led
man
had
ceased
from
his
labours
,
Bathsheba
came
and
looked
him
in
the
face
.
