I

Do

"
she
answered
.
The
sensible
horses
stood
—
perfectly
still
,
and
the
waggoner
’
s
steps
sank
fainter
and
fainter
in
the
distance
.
The
girl
on
the
summit
of
the
load
sat
motionless
,
surrounded
by
tables
and
chairs
with
their
legs
upwards
,
backed
by
an
oak
settle
,
and
ornamented
in
front
by
pots
of
geraniums
,
myrtles
,
and
cactuses
,
together
with
a
caged
canary
—
all
probably
from
the
windows
of
the
house
just
vacated
.
There
was
also
a
cat
in
a
willow
basket
,
from
the
partly
-
opened
lid
of
which
she
gazed
with
half
-
closed
eyes
,
and
affectionately
surveyed
the
small
birds
around
.
The
handsome
girl
waited
for
some
time
idly
in
her
place
,
and
the
only
sound
heard
in
the
stillness
was
the
hopping
of
the
canary
up
and
down
the
perches
of
its
prison
.
Then
she
looked
attentively
downwards
.
It
was
not
at
the
bird
,
nor
at
the
cat
;
it
was
at
an
oblong
package
tied
in
paper
,
and
lying
between
them
.
She
turned
her
head
to
learn
if
the
waggoner
were
coming
.
He
was
not
yet
in
sight
;
and
her
eyes
crept
back
to
the
package
,
her
thoughts
seeming
to
run
upon
what
was
inside
it
.
At
length
she
drew
the
article
into
her
lap
,
and
untied
the
paper
covering
;
a
small
swing
looking
-
glass
was
disclosed
,
in
which
she
proceeded
to
survey
herself
attentively
.
She
parted
her
lips
and
smiled
.
It
was
a
fine
morning
,
and
the
sun
lighted
up
to
a
scarlet
glow
the
crimson
jacket
she
wore
,
and
painted
a
soft
lustre
upon
her
bright
face
and
dark
hair
.
The
myrtles
,
geraniums
,
and
cactuses
packed
around
her
were
fresh
and
green
,
and
at
such
a
leafless
season
they
invested
the
whole
concern
of
horses
,
waggon
,
furniture
,
and
girl
with
a
peculiar
vernal
charm
.
What
possessed
her
to
indulge
in
such
a
performance
in
the
sight
of
the
sparrows
,
blackbirds
,
and
unperceived
farmer
who
were
alone
its
spectators
,
—
whether
the
smile
began
as
a
factitious
one
,
to
test
her
capacity
in
that
art
,
—
nobody
knows
;
it
ended
certainly
in
a
real
smile
.
She
blushed
at
herself
,
and
seeing
her
reflection
blush
,
blushed
the
more
.
The
change
from
the
customary
spot
and
necessary
occasion
of
such
an
act
—
from
the
dressing
hour
in
a
bedroom
to
a
time
of
travelling
out
of
doors
—
lent
to
the
idle
deed
a
novelty
it
did
not
intrinsically
possess
.
The
picture
was
a
delicate
one
.
Woman
’
s
prescriptive
infirmity
had
stalked
into
the
sunlight
,
which
had
clothed
it
in
the
freshness
of
an
originality
.
A
cynical
inference
was
irresistible
by
Gabriel
Oak
as
he
regarded
the
scene
,
generous
though
he
fain
would
have
been
.
There
was
no
necessity
whatever
for
her
looking
in
the
glass
.
She
did
not
adjust
her
hat
,
or
pat
her
hair
,
or
press
a
dimple
into
shape
,
or
do
one
thing
to
signify
that
any
such
intention
had
been
her
motive
in
taking
up
the
glass
.
She
simply
observed
herself
as
a
fair
product
of
Nature
in
the
feminine
kind
,
her
thoughts
seeming
to
glide
into
far
-
off
though
likely
dramas
in
which
men
would
play
a
part
—
vistas
of
probable
triumphs
—
the
smiles
being
of
a
phase
suggesting
that
hearts
were
imagined
as
lost
and
won
.
Still
,
this
was
but
conjecture
,
and
the
whole
series
of
actions
was
so
idly
put
forth
as
to
make
it
rash
to
assert
that
intention
had
any
part
in
them
at
all
.
The
waggoner
’
s
steps
were
heard
returning
.
She
put
the
glass
in
the
paper
,
and
the
whole
again
into
its
place
.
When
the
waggon
had
passed
on
,
Gabriel
withdrew
from
his
point
of
espial
,
and
descending
into
the
road
,
followed
the
vehicle
to
the
turnpike
-
gate
some
way
beyond
the
bottom
of
the
hill
,
where
the
object
of
his
contemplation
now
halted
for
the
payment
of
toll
.
About
twenty
steps
still
remained
between
him
and
the
gate
,
when
he
heard
a
dispute
.
It
was
a
difference
concerning
twopence
between
the
persons
with
the
waggon
and
the
man
at
the
toll
-
bar
.
