It
perplexed
her
first
.
If
there
had
been
a
respectable
minority
on
either
side
,
the
case
would
have
been
most
natural
.
If
nobody
had
regarded
her
,
she
would
have
taken
the
matter
indifferently
—
such
cases
had
occurred
.
If
everybody
,
this
man
included
,
she
would
have
taken
it
as
a
matter
of
course
—
people
had
done
so
before
.
But
the
smallness
of
the
exception
made
the
mystery
.
She
soon
knew
thus
much
of
the
recusant
’
s
appearance
.
He
was
a
gentlemanly
man
,
with
full
and
distinctly
outlined
Roman
features
,
the
prominences
of
which
glowed
in
the
sun
with
a
bronze
-
like
richness
of
tone
.
He
was
erect
in
attitude
,
and
quiet
in
demeanour
.
One
characteristic
pre
-
eminently
marked
him
—
dignity
.
Apparently
he
had
some
time
ago
reached
that
entrance
to
middle
age
at
which
a
man
’
s
aspect
naturally
ceases
to
alter
for
the
term
of
a
dozen
years
or
so
;
and
,
artificially
,
a
woman
’
s
does
likewise
.
Thirty
-
five
and
fifty
were
his
limits
of
variation
—
he
might
have
been
either
,
or
anywhere
between
the
two
.
It
may
be
said
that
married
men
of
forty
are
usually
ready
and
generous
enough
to
fling
passing
glances
at
any
specimen
of
moderate
beauty
they
may
discern
by
the
way
.
Probably
,
as
with
persons
playing
whist
for
love
,
the
consciousness
of
a
certain
immunity
under
any
circumstances
from
that
worst
possible
ultimate
,
the
having
to
pay
,
makes
them
unduly
speculative
.
Bathsheba
was
convinced
that
this
unmoved
person
was
not
a
married
man
.
When
marketing
was
over
,
she
rushed
off
to
Liddy
,
who
was
waiting
for
her
beside
the
yellow
gig
in
which
they
had
driven
to
town
.
The
horse
was
put
in
,
and
on
they
trotted
—
Bathsheba
’
s
sugar
,
tea
,
and
drapery
parcels
being
packed
behind
,
and
expressing
in
some
indescribable
manner
,
by
their
colour
,
shape
,
and
general
lineaments
,
that
they
were
that
young
lady
-
farmer
’
s
property
,
and
the
grocer
’
s
and
draper
’
s
no
more
.
"
I
’
ve
been
through
it
,
Liddy
,
and
it
is
over
.
I
shan
’
t
mind
it
again
,
for
they
will
all
have
grown
accustomed
to
seeing
me
there
;
but
this
morning
it
was
as
bad
as
being
married
—
eyes
everywhere
!
"
"
I
knowed
it
would
be
,
"
Liddy
said
.
"
Men
be
such
a
terrible
class
of
society
to
look
at
a
body
.
"
"
But
there
was
one
man
who
had
more
sense
than
to
waste
his
time
upon
me
.
"
The
information
was
put
in
this
form
that
Liddy
might
not
for
a
moment
suppose
her
mistress
was
at
all
piqued
.
"
A
very
good
-
looking
man
,
"
she
continued
,
"
upright
;
about
forty
,
I
should
think
.
Do
you
know
at
all
who
he
could
be
?
"
Liddy
couldn
’
t
think
.
