Gabriel
recognized
the
voice
as
that
of
the
parson
.
"
The
corpse
is
here
,
sir
,
"
said
Gabriel
.
"
I
have
just
been
to
inquire
of
Mrs
.
Troy
if
she
could
tell
me
the
reason
of
the
delay
.
I
am
afraid
it
is
too
late
now
for
the
funeral
to
be
performed
with
proper
decency
.
Have
you
the
registrar
’
s
certificate
?
"
"
No
,
"
said
Gabriel
.
"
I
expect
Poorgrass
has
that
;
and
he
’
s
at
the
Buck
’
s
Head
.
I
forgot
to
ask
him
for
it
.
"
"
Then
that
settles
the
matter
.
We
’
ll
put
off
the
funeral
till
to
-
morrow
morning
.
The
body
may
be
brought
on
to
the
church
,
or
it
may
be
left
here
at
the
farm
and
fetched
by
the
bearers
in
the
morning
.
They
waited
more
than
an
hour
,
and
have
now
gone
home
.
"
Gabriel
had
his
reasons
for
thinking
the
latter
a
most
objectionable
plan
,
notwithstanding
that
Fanny
had
been
an
inmate
of
the
farm
-
house
for
several
years
in
the
lifetime
of
Bathsheba
’
s
uncle
.
Visions
of
several
unhappy
contingencies
which
might
arise
from
this
delay
flitted
before
him
.
But
his
will
was
not
law
,
and
he
went
indoors
to
inquire
of
his
mistress
what
were
her
wishes
on
the
subject
.
He
found
her
in
an
unusual
mood
:
her
eyes
as
she
looked
up
to
him
were
suspicious
and
perplexed
as
with
some
antecedent
thought
.
Troy
had
not
yet
returned
.
At
first
Bathsheba
assented
with
a
mien
of
indifference
to
his
proposition
that
they
should
go
on
to
the
church
at
once
with
their
burden
;
but
immediately
afterwards
,
following
Gabriel
to
the
gate
,
she
swerved
to
the
extreme
of
solicitousness
on
Fanny
’
s
account
,
and
desired
that
the
girl
might
be
brought
into
the
house
.
Oak
argued
upon
the
convenience
of
leaving
her
in
the
waggon
,
just
as
she
lay
now
,
with
her
flowers
and
green
leaves
about
her
,
merely
wheeling
the
vehicle
into
the
coach
-
house
till
the
morning
,
but
to
no
purpose
.
"
It
is
unkind
and
unchristian
,
"
she
said
,
"
to
leave
the
poor
thing
in
a
coach
-
house
all
night
.
"
"
Very
well
,
then
,
"
said
the
parson
.
"
And
I
will
arrange
that
the
funeral
shall
take
place
early
to
-
morrow
.
Perhaps
Mrs
.
Troy
is
right
in
feeling
that
we
cannot
treat
a
dead
fellow
-
creature
too
thoughtfully
.
We
must
remember
that
though
she
may
have
erred
grievously
in
leaving
her
home
,
she
is
still
our
sister
:
and
it
is
to
be
believed
that
God
’
s
uncovenanted
mercies
are
extended
towards
her
,
and
that
she
is
a
member
of
the
flock
of
Christ
.
"
The
parson
’
s
words
spread
into
the
heavy
air
with
a
sad
yet
unperturbed
cadence
,
and
Gabriel
shed
an
honest
tear
.
Bathsheba
seemed
unmoved
.
Mr
.
Thirdly
then
left
them
,
and
Gabriel
lighted
a
lantern
.
Fetching
three
other
men
to
assist
him
,
they
bore
the
unconscious
truant
indoors
,
placing
the
coffin
on
two
benches
in
the
middle
of
a
little
sitting
-
room
next
the
hall
,
as
Bathsheba
directed
.
Every
one
except
Gabriel
Oak
then
left
the
room
.
He
still
indecisively
lingered
beside
the
body
