Mrs
.
Yeobright
was
in
this
state
of
uncertainty
when
she
was
informed
one
morning
that
her
son
’
s
wife
was
visiting
her
grandfather
at
Mistover
.
She
determined
to
walk
up
the
hill
,
see
Eustacia
,
and
ascertain
from
her
daughter
-
in
-
law
’
s
lips
whether
the
family
guineas
,
which
were
to
Mrs
.
Yeobright
what
family
jewels
are
to
wealthier
dowagers
,
had
miscarried
or
not
.
When
Christian
learnt
where
she
was
going
his
concern
reached
its
height
.
At
the
moment
of
her
departure
he
could
prevaricate
no
longer
,
and
,
confessing
to
the
gambling
,
told
her
the
truth
as
far
as
he
knew
it
—
that
the
guineas
had
been
won
by
Wildeve
.
“
What
,
is
he
going
to
keep
them
?
”
Mrs
.
Yeobright
cried
.
“
I
hope
and
trust
not
!
”
moaned
Christian
.
“
He
’
s
a
good
man
,
and
perhaps
will
do
right
things
.
He
said
you
ought
to
have
gied
Mr
.
Clym
’
s
share
to
Eustacia
,
and
that
’
s
perhaps
what
he
’
ll
do
himself
.
”
To
Mrs
.
Yeobright
,
as
soon
as
she
could
calmly
reflect
,
there
was
much
likelihood
in
this
,
for
she
could
hardly
believe
that
Wildeve
would
really
appropriate
money
belonging
to
her
son
.
The
intermediate
course
of
giving
it
to
Eustacia
was
the
sort
of
thing
to
please
Wildeve
’
s
fancy
.
But
it
filled
the
mother
with
anger
none
the
less
.
That
Wildeve
should
have
got
command
of
the
guineas
after
all
,
and
should
rearrange
the
disposal
of
them
,
placing
Clym
’
s
share
in
Clym
’
s
wife
’
s
hands
,
because
she
had
been
his
own
sweetheart
,
and
might
be
so
still
,
was
as
irritating
a
pain
as
any
that
Mrs
.
Yeobright
had
ever
borne
.
She
instantly
dismissed
the
wretched
Christian
from
her
employ
for
his
conduct
in
the
affair
;
but
,
feeling
quite
helpless
and
unable
to
do
without
him
,
told
him
afterwards
that
he
might
stay
a
little
longer
if
he
chose
.
Then
she
hastened
off
to
Eustacia
,
moved
by
a
much
less
promising
emotion
towards
her
daughter
-
in
-
law
than
she
had
felt
half
an
hour
earlier
,
when
planning
her
journey
.
At
that
time
it
was
to
inquire
in
a
friendly
spirit
if
there
had
been
any
accidental
loss
;
now
it
was
to
ask
plainly
if
Wildeve
had
privately
given
her
money
which
had
been
intended
as
a
sacred
gift
to
Clym
.
She
started
at
two
o
’
clock
,
and
her
meeting
with
Eustacia
was
hastened
by
the
appearance
of
the
young
lady
beside
the
pool
and
bank
which
bordered
her
grandfather
’
s
premises
,
where
she
stood
surveying
the
scene
,
and
perhaps
thinking
of
the
romantic
enactments
it
had
witnessed
in
past
days
.
When
Mrs
.
Yeobright
approached
,
Eustacia
surveyed
her
with
the
calm
stare
of
a
stranger
.
The
mother
-
in
-
law
was
the
first
to
speak
.
“
I
was
coming
to
see
you
,
”
she
said
.
“
Indeed
!
”
said
Eustacia
with
surprise
,
for
Mrs
.
Yeobright
,
much
to
the
girl
’
s
mortification
,
had
refused
to
be
present
at
the
wedding
.
“
I
did
not
at
all
expect
you
.
”
