Rejected
suitors
take
to
roaming
as
naturally
as
unhived
bees
;
and
the
business
to
which
he
had
cynically
devoted
himself
was
in
many
ways
congenial
to
Venn
.
But
his
wanderings
,
by
mere
stress
of
old
emotions
,
had
frequently
taken
an
Egdon
direction
,
though
he
never
intruded
upon
her
who
attracted
him
thither
.
To
be
in
Thomasin
’
s
heath
,
and
near
her
,
yet
unseen
,
was
the
one
ewe
-
lamb
of
pleasure
left
to
him
.
Then
came
the
incident
of
that
day
,
and
the
reddleman
,
still
loving
her
well
,
was
excited
by
this
accidental
service
to
her
at
a
critical
juncture
to
vow
an
active
devotion
to
her
cause
,
instead
of
,
as
hitherto
,
sighing
and
holding
aloof
.
After
what
had
happened
it
was
impossible
that
he
should
not
doubt
the
honesty
of
Wildeve
’
s
intentions
.
But
her
hope
was
apparently
centred
upon
him
;
and
dismissing
his
regrets
Venn
determined
to
aid
her
to
be
happy
in
her
own
chosen
way
.
That
this
way
was
,
of
all
others
,
the
most
distressing
to
himself
,
was
awkward
enough
;
but
the
reddleman
’
s
love
was
generous
.
His
first
active
step
in
watching
over
Thomasin
’
s
interests
was
taken
about
seven
o
’
clock
the
next
evening
and
was
dictated
by
the
news
which
he
had
learnt
from
the
sad
boy
.
That
Eustacia
was
somehow
the
cause
of
Wildeve
’
s
carelessness
in
relation
to
the
marriage
had
at
once
been
Venn
’
s
conclusion
on
hearing
of
the
secret
meeting
between
them
.
It
did
not
occur
to
his
mind
that
Eustacia
’
s
love
signal
to
Wildeve
was
the
tender
effect
upon
the
deserted
beauty
of
the
intelligence
which
her
grandfather
had
brought
home
.
His
instinct
was
to
regard
her
as
a
conspirator
against
rather
than
as
an
antecedent
obstacle
to
Thomasin
’
s
happiness
.
During
the
day
he
had
been
exceedingly
anxious
to
learn
the
condition
of
Thomasin
,
but
he
did
not
venture
to
intrude
upon
a
threshold
to
which
he
was
a
stranger
,
particularly
at
such
an
unpleasant
moment
as
this
.
He
had
occupied
his
time
in
moving
with
his
ponies
and
load
to
a
new
point
in
the
heath
,
eastward
to
his
previous
station
;
and
here
he
selected
a
nook
with
a
careful
eye
to
shelter
from
wind
and
rain
,
which
seemed
to
mean
that
his
stay
there
was
to
be
a
comparatively
extended
one
.
After
this
he
returned
on
foot
some
part
of
the
way
that
he
had
come
;
and
,
it
being
now
dark
,
he
diverged
to
the
left
till
he
stood
behind
a
holly
bush
on
the
edge
of
a
pit
not
twenty
yards
from
Rainbarrow
.
He
watched
for
a
meeting
there
,
but
he
watched
in
vain
.
Nobody
except
himself
came
near
the
spot
that
night
.
But
the
loss
of
his
labour
produced
little
effect
upon
the
reddleman
.
He
had
stood
in
the
shoes
of
Tantalus
,
and
seemed
to
look
upon
a
certain
mass
of
disappointment
as
the
natural
preface
to
all
realizations
,
without
which
preface
they
would
give
cause
for
alarm
.
The
same
hour
the
next
evening
found
him
again
at
the
same
place
;
but
Eustacia
and
Wildeve
,
the
expected
trysters
,
did
not
appear
.
He
pursued
precisely
the
same
course
yet
four
nights
longer
,
and
without
success
.
But
on
the
next
,
being
the
day
-
week
of
their
previous
meeting
,
he
saw
a
female
shape
floating
along
the
ridge
and
the
outline
of
a
young
man
ascending
from
the
valley
.
They
met
in
the
little
ditch
encircling
the
tumulus
—
the
original
excavation
from
which
it
had
been
thrown
up
by
the
ancient
British
people
.
The
reddleman
,
stung
with
suspicion
of
wrong
to
Thomasin
,
was
aroused
to
strategy
in
a
moment
.
He
instantly
left
the
bush
and
crept
forward
on
his
hands
and
knees
.
When
he
had
got
as
close
as
he
might
safely
venture
without
discovery
he
found
that
,
owing
to
a
cross
-
wind
,
the
conversation
of
the
trysting
pair
could
not
be
overheard
.
