Here
she
lay
,
a
shapeless
heap
,
for
ten
minutes
and
more
.
The
morning
wind
began
to
boom
dully
over
the
flats
,
and
to
move
afresh
dead
leaves
which
had
lain
still
since
yesterday
.
The
woman
desperately
turned
round
upon
her
knees
,
and
next
rose
to
her
feet
.
Steadying
herself
by
the
help
of
one
crutch
,
she
essayed
a
step
,
then
another
,
then
a
third
,
using
the
crutches
now
as
walking
-
sticks
only
.
Thus
she
progressed
till
descending
Mellstock
Hill
another
milestone
appeared
,
and
soon
the
beginning
of
an
iron
-
railed
fence
came
into
view
.
She
staggered
across
to
the
first
post
,
clung
to
it
,
and
looked
around
.
The
Casterbridge
lights
were
now
individually
visible
.
It
was
getting
towards
morning
,
and
vehicles
might
be
hoped
for
,
if
not
expected
soon
.
She
listened
.
There
was
not
a
sound
of
life
save
that
acme
and
sublimation
of
all
dismal
sounds
,
the
bark
of
a
fox
,
its
three
hollow
notes
being
rendered
at
intervals
of
a
minute
with
the
precision
of
a
funeral
bell
.
"
Less
than
a
mile
!
"
the
woman
murmured
.
"
No
;
more
,
"
she
added
,
after
a
pause
.
"
The
mile
is
to
the
county
hall
,
and
my
resting
-
place
is
on
the
other
side
Casterbridge
.
A
little
over
a
mile
,
and
there
I
am
!
"
After
an
interval
she
again
spoke
.
"
Five
or
six
steps
to
a
yard
—
six
perhaps
.
I
have
to
go
seventeen
hundred
yards
.
A
hundred
times
six
,
six
hundred
.
Seventeen
times
that
.
O
pity
me
,
Lord
!
"
Holding
to
the
rails
,
she
advanced
,
thrusting
one
hand
forward
upon
the
rail
,
then
the
other
,
then
leaning
over
it
whilst
she
dragged
her
feet
on
beneath
.
This
woman
was
not
given
to
soliloquy
;
but
extremity
of
feeling
lessens
the
individuality
of
the
weak
,
as
it
increases
that
of
the
strong
.
She
said
again
in
the
same
tone
,
"
I
’
ll
believe
that
the
end
lies
five
posts
forward
,
and
no
further
,
and
so
get
strength
to
pass
them
.
"
This
was
a
practical
application
of
the
principle
that
a
half
-
feigned
and
fictitious
faith
is
better
than
no
faith
at
all
.
She
passed
five
posts
and
held
on
to
the
fifth
.
"
I
’
ll
pass
five
more
by
believing
my
longed
-
for
spot
is
at
the
next
fifth
.
I
can
do
it
.
"
She
passed
five
more
.
