“
I
suppose
you
have
heard
the
Egdon
news
,
Eustacia
?
”
he
said
,
without
looking
up
from
the
bottles
.
“
The
men
have
been
talking
about
it
at
the
Woman
as
if
it
were
of
national
importance
.
”
“
I
have
heard
none
,
”
she
said
.
“
Young
Clym
Yeobright
,
as
they
call
him
,
is
coming
home
next
week
to
spend
Christmas
with
his
mother
.
He
is
a
fine
fellow
by
this
time
,
it
seems
.
I
suppose
you
remember
him
?
”
“
I
never
saw
him
in
my
life
.
”
“
Ah
,
true
;
he
left
before
you
came
here
.
I
well
remember
him
as
a
promising
boy
.
”
“
Where
has
he
been
living
all
these
years
?
”
“
In
that
rookery
of
pomp
and
vanity
,
Paris
,
I
believe
.
”
On
the
fine
days
at
this
time
of
the
year
,
and
earlier
,
certain
ephemeral
operations
were
apt
to
disturb
,
in
their
trifling
way
,
the
majestic
calm
of
Egdon
Heath
.
They
were
activities
which
,
beside
those
of
a
town
,
a
village
,
or
even
a
farm
,
would
have
appeared
as
the
ferment
of
stagnation
merely
,
a
creeping
of
the
flesh
of
somnolence
.
But
here
,
away
from
comparisons
,
shut
in
by
the
stable
hills
,
among
which
mere
walking
had
the
novelty
of
pageantry
,
and
where
any
man
could
imagine
himself
to
be
Adam
without
the
least
difficulty
,
they
attracted
the
attention
of
every
bird
within
eyeshot
,
every
reptile
not
yet
asleep
,
and
set
the
surrounding
rabbits
curiously
watching
from
hillocks
at
a
safe
distance
.
The
performance
was
that
of
bringing
together
and
building
into
a
stack
the
furze
faggots
which
Humphrey
had
been
cutting
for
the
captain
’
s
use
during
the
foregoing
fine
days
.
The
stack
was
at
the
end
of
the
dwelling
,
and
the
men
engaged
in
building
it
were
Humphrey
and
Sam
,
the
old
man
looking
on
.
It
was
a
fine
and
quiet
afternoon
,
about
three
o
’
clock
;
but
the
winter
solstice
having
stealthily
come
on
,
the
lowness
of
the
sun
caused
the
hour
to
seem
later
than
it
actually
was
,
there
being
little
here
to
remind
an
inhabitant
that
he
must
unlearn
his
summer
experience
of
the
sky
as
a
dial
.
In
the
course
of
many
days
and
weeks
sunrise
had
advanced
its
quarters
from
northeast
to
southeast
,
sunset
had
receded
from
northwest
to
southwest
;
but
Egdon
had
hardly
heeded
the
change
.
