“
Not
quite
yet
.
Folks
never
call
upon
ladies
at
this
time
of
day
.
”
“
Then
I
’
ll
step
outside
,
”
said
Venn
.
“
If
she
is
willing
to
see
me
,
will
she
please
send
out
word
,
and
I
’
ll
come
in
.
”
The
reddleman
left
the
house
and
loitered
on
the
hill
adjoining
.
A
considerable
time
elapsed
,
and
no
request
for
his
presence
was
brought
.
He
was
beginning
to
think
that
his
scheme
had
failed
,
when
he
beheld
the
form
of
Eustacia
herself
coming
leisurely
towards
him
.
A
sense
of
novelty
in
giving
audience
to
that
singular
figure
had
been
sufficient
to
draw
her
forth
.
She
seemed
to
feel
,
after
a
bare
look
at
Diggory
Venn
,
that
the
man
had
come
on
a
strange
errand
,
and
that
he
was
not
so
mean
as
she
had
thought
him
;
for
her
close
approach
did
not
cause
him
to
writhe
uneasily
,
or
shift
his
feet
,
or
show
any
of
those
little
signs
which
escape
an
ingenuous
rustic
at
the
advent
of
the
uncommon
in
womankind
.
On
his
inquiring
if
he
might
have
a
conversation
with
her
she
replied
,
“
Yes
,
walk
beside
me
,
”
and
continued
to
move
on
.
Before
they
had
gone
far
it
occurred
to
the
perspicacious
reddleman
that
he
would
have
acted
more
wisely
by
appearing
less
unimpressionable
,
and
he
resolved
to
correct
the
error
as
soon
as
he
could
find
opportunity
.
“
I
have
made
so
bold
,
miss
,
as
to
step
across
and
tell
you
some
strange
news
which
has
come
to
my
ears
about
that
man
.
”
“
Ah
!
what
man
?
”
He
jerked
his
elbow
to
the
southeast
—
the
direction
of
the
Quiet
Woman
.
Eustacia
turned
quickly
to
him
.
“
Do
you
mean
Mr
.
Wildeve
?
”
“
Yes
,
there
is
trouble
in
a
household
on
account
of
him
,
and
I
have
come
to
let
you
know
of
it
,
because
I
believe
you
might
have
power
to
drive
it
away
.
”
