Almost
the
first
thing
that
he
saw
on
opening
the
door
was
the
constable
’
s
truncheon
hanging
to
a
nail
,
as
if
to
assure
him
that
here
were
the
means
to
his
purpose
.
On
inquiry
,
however
,
of
the
constable
’
s
wife
he
learnt
that
the
constable
was
not
at
home
.
Wildeve
said
he
would
wait
.
The
minutes
ticked
on
,
and
the
constable
did
not
arrive
.
Wildeve
cooled
down
from
his
state
of
high
indignation
to
a
restless
dissatisfaction
with
himself
,
the
scene
,
the
constable
’
s
wife
,
and
the
whole
set
of
circumstances
.
He
arose
and
left
the
house
.
Altogether
,
the
experience
of
that
evening
had
had
a
cooling
,
not
to
say
a
chilling
,
effect
on
misdirected
tenderness
,
and
Wildeve
was
in
no
mood
to
ramble
again
to
Alderworth
after
nightfall
in
hope
of
a
stray
glance
from
Eustacia
.
Thus
far
the
reddleman
had
been
tolerably
successful
in
his
rude
contrivances
for
keeping
down
Wildeve
’
s
inclination
to
rove
in
the
evening
.
He
had
nipped
in
the
bud
the
possible
meeting
between
Eustacia
and
her
old
lover
this
very
night
.
But
he
had
not
anticipated
that
the
tendency
of
his
action
would
be
to
divert
Wildeve
’
s
movement
rather
than
to
stop
it
.
The
gambling
with
the
guineas
had
not
conduced
to
make
him
a
welcome
guest
to
Clym
;
but
to
call
upon
his
wife
’
s
relative
was
natural
,
and
he
was
determined
to
see
Eustacia
.
It
was
necessary
to
choose
some
less
untoward
hour
than
ten
o
’
clock
at
night
.
“
Since
it
is
unsafe
to
go
in
the
evening
,
”
he
said
,
“
I
’
ll
go
by
day
.
”
Meanwhile
Venn
had
left
the
heath
and
gone
to
call
upon
Mrs
.
Yeobright
,
with
whom
he
had
been
on
friendly
terms
since
she
had
learnt
what
a
providential
countermove
he
had
made
towards
the
restitution
of
the
family
guineas
.
She
wondered
at
the
lateness
of
his
call
,
but
had
no
objection
to
see
him
.
He
gave
her
a
full
account
of
Clym
’
s
affliction
,
and
of
the
state
in
which
he
was
living
;
then
,
referring
to
Thomasin
,
touched
gently
upon
the
apparent
sadness
of
her
days
.
“
Now
,
ma
’
am
,
depend
upon
it
,
”
he
said
,
“
you
couldn
’
t
do
a
better
thing
for
either
of
’
em
than
to
make
yourself
at
home
in
their
houses
,
even
if
there
should
be
a
little
rebuff
at
first
.
”
“
Both
she
and
my
son
disobeyed
me
in
marrying
;
therefore
I
have
no
interest
in
their
households
.
Their
troubles
are
of
their
own
making
.
”
Mrs
.
Yeobright
tried
to
speak
severely
;
but
the
account
of
her
son
’
s
state
had
moved
her
more
than
she
cared
to
show
.
“
Your
visits
would
make
Wildeve
walk
straighter
than
he
is
inclined
to
do
,
and
might
prevent
unhappiness
down
the
heath
.
”
“
What
do
you
mean
?
”
“
I
saw
something
tonight
out
there
which
I
didn
’
t
like
at
all
.
I
wish
your
son
’
s
house
and
Mr
.
Wildeve
’
s
were
a
hundred
miles
apart
instead
of
four
or
five
.
