"
He
was
hers
and
she
was
his
;
they
should
be
gone
together
,
"
she
said
.
"
I
am
nothing
to
either
of
them
,
and
why
should
I
keep
her
hair
?
"
She
took
it
in
her
hand
,
and
held
it
over
the
fire
.
"
No
—
I
’
ll
not
burn
it
—
I
’
ll
keep
it
in
memory
of
her
,
poor
thing
!
"
she
added
,
snatching
back
her
hand
.
The
later
autumn
and
the
winter
drew
on
apace
,
and
the
leaves
lay
thick
upon
the
turf
of
the
glades
and
the
mosses
of
the
woods
.
Bathsheba
,
having
previously
been
living
in
a
state
of
suspended
feeling
which
was
not
suspense
,
now
lived
in
a
mood
of
quietude
which
was
not
precisely
peacefulness
.
While
she
had
known
him
to
be
alive
she
could
have
thought
of
his
death
with
equanimity
;
but
now
that
it
might
be
she
had
lost
him
,
she
regretted
that
he
was
not
hers
still
.
She
kept
the
farm
going
,
raked
in
her
profits
without
caring
keenly
about
them
,
and
expended
money
on
ventures
because
she
had
done
so
in
bygone
days
,
which
,
though
not
long
gone
by
,
seemed
infinitely
removed
from
her
present
.
She
looked
back
upon
that
past
over
a
great
gulf
,
as
if
she
were
now
a
dead
person
,
having
the
faculty
of
meditation
still
left
in
her
,
by
means
of
which
,
like
the
mouldering
gentlefolk
of
the
poet
’
s
story
,
she
could
sit
and
ponder
what
a
gift
life
used
to
be
.
However
,
one
excellent
result
of
her
general
apathy
was
the
long
-
delayed
installation
of
Oak
as
bailiff
;
but
he
having
virtually
exercised
that
function
for
a
long
time
already
,
the
change
,
beyond
the
substantial
increase
of
wages
it
brought
,
was
little
more
than
a
nominal
one
addressed
to
the
outside
world
.
Boldwood
lived
secluded
and
inactive
.
Much
of
his
wheat
and
all
his
barley
of
that
season
had
been
spoilt
by
the
rain
.
It
sprouted
,
grew
into
intricate
mats
,
and
was
ultimately
thrown
to
the
pigs
in
armfuls
.
The
strange
neglect
which
had
produced
this
ruin
and
waste
became
the
subject
of
whispered
talk
among
all
the
people
round
;
and
it
was
elicited
from
one
of
Boldwood
’
s
men
that
forgetfulness
had
nothing
to
do
with
it
,
for
he
had
been
reminded
of
the
danger
to
his
corn
as
many
times
and
as
persistently
as
inferiors
dared
to
do
.
The
sight
of
the
pigs
turning
in
disgust
from
the
rotten
ears
seemed
to
arouse
Boldwood
,
and
he
one
evening
sent
for
Oak
.
Whether
it
was
suggested
by
Bathsheba
’
s
recent
act
of
promotion
or
not
,
the
farmer
proposed
at
the
interview
that
Gabriel
should
undertake
the
superintendence
of
the
Lower
Farm
as
well
as
of
Bathsheba
’
s
,
because
of
the
necessity
Boldwood
felt
for
such
aid
,
and
the
impossibility
of
discovering
a
more
trustworthy
man
.
Gabriel
’
s
malignant
star
was
assuredly
setting
fast
.
Bathsheba
,
when
she
learnt
of
this
proposal
—
for
Oak
was
obliged
to
consult
her
—
at
first
languidly
objected
.
She
considered
that
the
two
farms
together
were
too
extensive
for
the
observation
of
one
man
.
Boldwood
,
who
was
apparently
determined
by
personal
rather
than
commercial
reasons
,
suggested
that
Oak
should
be
furnished
with
a
horse
for
his
sole
use
,
when
the
plan
would
present
no
difficulty
,
the
two
farms
lying
side
by
side
.
Boldwood
did
not
directly
communicate
with
her
during
these
negotiations
,
only
speaking
to
Oak
,
who
was
the
go
-
between
throughout
.
All
was
harmoniously
arranged
at
last
,
and
we
now
see
Oak
mounted
on
a
strong
cob
,
and
daily
trotting
the
length
and
breadth
of
about
two
thousand
acres
in
a
cheerful
spirit
of
surveillance
,
as
if
the
crops
all
belonged
to
him
—
the
actual
mistress
of
the
one
-
half
and
the
master
of
the
other
,
sitting
in
their
respective
homes
in
gloomy
and
sad
seclusion
.
Out
of
this
there
arose
,
during
the
spring
succeeding
,
a
talk
in
the
parish
that
Gabriel
Oak
was
feathering
his
nest
fast
.
"
Whatever
d
’
ye
think
,
"
said
Susan
Tall
,
"
Gable
Oak
is
coming
it
quite
the
dand
.
He
now
wears
shining
boots
with
hardly
a
hob
in
’
em
,
two
or
three
times
a
-
week
,
and
a
tall
hat
a
-
Sundays
,
and
’
a
hardly
knows
the
name
of
smockfrock
.
When
I
see
people
strut
enough
to
be
cut
up
into
bantam
cocks
,
I
stand
dormant
with
wonder
,
and
says
no
more
!
"
It
was
eventually
known
that
Gabriel
,
though
paid
a
fixed
wage
by
Bathsheba
independent
of
the
fluctuations
of
agricultural
profits
,
had
made
an
engagement
with
Boldwood
by
which
Oak
was
to
receive
a
share
of
the
receipts
—
a
small
share
certainly
,
yet
it
was
money
of
a
higher
quality
than
mere
wages
,
and
capable
of
expansion
in
a
way
that
wages
were
not
.
Some
were
beginning
to
consider
Oak
a
"
near
"
man
,
for
though
his
condition
had
thus
far
improved
,
he
lived
in
no
better
style
than
before
,
occupying
the
same
cottage
,
paring
his
own
potatoes
,
mending
his
stockings
,
and
sometimes
even
making
his
bed
with
his
own
hands
.
