One
of
the
men
went
to
the
footbridge
and
tore
off
the
handrail
.
The
reddleman
and
the
two
others
then
entered
the
water
together
from
below
as
before
,
and
with
their
united
force
probed
the
pool
forwards
to
where
it
sloped
down
to
its
central
depth
.
Venn
was
not
mistaken
in
supposing
that
any
person
who
had
sunk
for
the
last
time
would
be
washed
down
to
this
point
,
for
when
they
had
examined
to
about
halfway
across
something
impeded
their
thrust
.
“
Pull
it
forward
,
”
said
Venn
,
and
they
raked
it
in
with
the
pole
till
it
was
close
to
their
feet
.
Venn
vanished
under
the
stream
,
and
came
up
with
an
armful
of
wet
drapery
enclosing
a
woman
’
s
cold
form
,
which
was
all
that
remained
of
the
desperate
Eustacia
.
When
they
reached
the
bank
there
stood
Thomasin
,
in
a
stress
of
grief
,
bending
over
the
two
unconscious
ones
who
already
lay
there
.
The
horse
and
cart
were
brought
to
the
nearest
point
in
the
road
,
and
it
was
the
work
of
a
few
minutes
only
to
place
the
three
in
the
vehicle
.
Venn
led
on
the
horse
,
supporting
Thomasin
upon
his
arm
,
and
the
two
men
followed
,
till
they
reached
the
inn
.
The
woman
who
had
been
shaken
out
of
her
sleep
by
Thomasin
had
hastily
dressed
herself
and
lighted
a
fire
,
the
other
servant
being
left
to
snore
on
in
peace
at
the
back
of
the
house
.
The
insensible
forms
of
Eustacia
,
Clym
,
and
Wildeve
were
then
brought
in
and
laid
on
the
carpet
,
with
their
feet
to
the
fire
,
when
such
restorative
processes
as
could
be
thought
of
were
adopted
at
once
,
the
stableman
being
in
the
meantime
sent
for
a
doctor
.
But
there
seemed
to
be
not
a
whiff
of
life
in
either
of
the
bodies
.
Then
Thomasin
,
whose
stupor
of
grief
had
been
thrust
off
awhile
by
frantic
action
,
applied
a
bottle
of
hartshorn
to
Clym
’
s
nostrils
,
having
tried
it
in
vain
upon
the
other
two
.
He
sighed
.
“
Clym
’
s
alive
!
”
she
exclaimed
.
He
soon
breathed
distinctly
,
and
again
and
again
did
she
attempt
to
revive
her
husband
by
the
same
means
;
but
Wildeve
gave
no
sign
.
There
was
too
much
reason
to
think
that
he
and
Eustacia
both
were
for
ever
beyond
the
reach
of
stimulating
perfumes
.
Their
exertions
did
not
relax
till
the
doctor
arrived
,
when
one
by
one
,
the
senseless
three
were
taken
upstairs
and
put
into
warm
beds
.
Venn
soon
felt
himself
relieved
from
further
attendance
,
and
went
to
the
door
,
scarcely
able
yet
to
realize
the
strange
catastrophe
that
had
befallen
the
family
in
which
he
took
so
great
an
interest
.
Thomasin
surely
would
be
broken
down
by
the
sudden
and
overwhelming
nature
of
this
event
.
No
firm
and
sensible
Mrs
.
Yeobright
lived
now
to
support
the
gentle
girl
through
the
ordeal
;
and
,
whatever
an
unimpassioned
spectator
might
think
of
her
loss
of
such
a
husband
as
Wildeve
,
there
could
be
no
doubt
that
for
the
moment
she
was
distracted
and
horrified
by
the
blow
.
As
for
himself
,
not
being
privileged
to
go
to
her
and
comfort
her
,
he
saw
no
reason
for
waiting
longer
in
a
house
where
he
remained
only
as
a
stranger
.
He
returned
across
the
heath
to
his
van
.
The
fire
was
not
yet
out
,
and
everything
remained
as
he
had
left
it
.
Venn
now
bethought
himself
of
his
clothes
,
which
were
saturated
with
water
to
the
weight
of
lead
.
He
changed
them
,
spread
them
before
the
fire
,
and
lay
down
to
sleep
.
But
it
was
more
than
he
could
do
to
rest
here
while
excited
by
a
vivid
imagination
of
the
turmoil
they
were
in
at
the
house
he
had
quitted
,
and
,
blaming
himself
for
coming
away
,
he
dressed
in
another
suit
,
locked
up
the
door
,
and
again
hastened
across
to
the
inn
.
Rain
was
still
falling
heavily
when
he
entered
the
kitchen
.
A
bright
fire
was
shining
from
the
hearth
,
and
two
women
were
bustling
about
,
one
of
whom
was
Olly
Dowden
.
