Gabriel
took
the
key
,
without
waiting
to
hear
the
conclusion
of
the
tirade
Ten
minutes
later
his
lonely
figure
might
have
been
seen
dragging
four
large
water
-
proof
coverings
across
the
yard
,
and
soon
two
of
these
heaps
of
treasure
in
grain
were
covered
snug
—
two
cloths
to
each
.
Two
hundred
pounds
were
secured
.
Three
wheat
-
stacks
remained
open
,
and
there
were
no
more
cloths
.
Oak
looked
under
the
staddles
and
found
a
fork
.
He
mounted
the
third
pile
of
wealth
and
began
operating
,
adopting
the
plan
of
sloping
the
upper
sheaves
one
over
the
other
;
and
,
in
addition
,
filling
the
interstices
with
the
material
of
some
untied
sheaves
.
So
far
all
was
well
.
By
this
hurried
contrivance
Bathsheba
’
s
property
in
wheat
was
safe
for
at
any
rate
a
week
or
two
,
provided
always
that
there
was
not
much
wind
.
Next
came
the
barley
.
This
it
was
only
possible
to
protect
by
systematic
thatching
.
Time
went
on
,
and
the
moon
vanished
not
to
reappear
.
It
was
the
farewell
of
the
ambassador
previous
to
war
.
The
night
had
a
haggard
look
,
like
a
sick
thing
;
and
there
came
finally
an
utter
expiration
of
air
from
the
whole
heaven
in
the
form
of
a
slow
breeze
,
which
might
have
been
likened
to
a
death
.
And
now
nothing
was
heard
in
the
yard
but
the
dull
thuds
of
the
beetle
which
drove
in
the
spars
,
and
the
rustle
of
thatch
in
the
intervals
.
A
light
flapped
over
the
scene
,
as
if
reflected
from
phosphorescent
wings
crossing
the
sky
,
and
a
rumble
filled
the
air
.
It
was
the
first
move
of
the
approaching
storm
.
The
second
peal
was
noisy
,
with
comparatively
little
visible
lightning
.
Gabriel
saw
a
candle
shining
in
Bathsheba
’
s
bedroom
,
and
soon
a
shadow
swept
to
and
fro
upon
the
blind
.
Then
there
came
a
third
flash
.
Manœuvres
of
a
most
extraordinary
kind
were
going
on
in
the
vast
firmamental
hollows
overhead
.
The
lightning
now
was
the
colour
of
silver
,
and
gleamed
in
the
heavens
like
a
mailed
army
.
Rumbles
became
rattles
.
Gabriel
from
his
elevated
position
could
see
over
the
landscape
at
least
half
-
a
-
dozen
miles
in
front
.
Every
hedge
,
bush
,
and
tree
was
distinct
as
in
a
line
engraving
.
In
a
paddock
in
the
same
direction
was
a
herd
of
heifers
,
and
the
forms
of
these
were
visible
at
this
moment
in
the
act
of
galloping
about
in
the
wildest
and
maddest
confusion
,
flinging
their
heels
and
tails
high
into
the
air
,
their
heads
to
earth
.
A
poplar
in
the
immediate
foreground
was
like
an
ink
stroke
on
burnished
tin
.
Then
the
picture
vanished
,
leaving
the
darkness
so
intense
that
Gabriel
worked
entirely
by
feeling
with
his
hands
.
