Tess
was
the
merest
stray
phenomenon
to
Angel
Clare
as
yet
—
a
rosy
warming
apparition
which
had
only
just
acquired
the
attribute
of
persistence
in
his
consciousness
.
So
he
allowed
his
mind
to
be
occupied
with
her
,
deeming
his
preoccupation
to
be
no
more
than
a
philosopher
’
s
regard
of
an
exceedingly
novel
,
fresh
,
and
interesting
specimen
of
womankind
.
They
met
continually
;
they
could
not
help
it
.
They
met
daily
in
that
strange
and
solemn
interval
,
the
twilight
of
the
morning
,
in
the
violet
or
pink
dawn
;
for
it
was
necessary
to
rise
early
,
so
very
early
,
here
.
Milking
was
done
betimes
;
and
before
the
milking
came
the
skimming
,
which
began
at
a
little
past
three
.
It
usually
fell
to
the
lot
of
some
one
or
other
of
them
to
wake
the
rest
,
the
first
being
aroused
by
an
alarm
-
clock
;
and
,
as
Tess
was
the
latest
arrival
,
and
they
soon
discovered
that
she
could
be
depended
upon
not
to
sleep
though
the
alarm
as
others
did
,
this
task
was
thrust
most
frequently
upon
her
.
No
sooner
had
the
hour
of
three
struck
and
whizzed
,
than
she
left
her
room
and
ran
to
the
dairyman
’
s
door
;
then
up
the
ladder
to
Angel
’
s
,
calling
him
in
a
loud
whisper
;
then
woke
her
fellow
-
milkmaids
.
By
the
time
that
Tess
was
dressed
Clare
was
downstairs
and
out
in
the
humid
air
.
The
remaining
maids
and
the
dairyman
usually
gave
themselves
another
turn
on
the
pillow
,
and
did
not
appear
till
a
quarter
of
an
hour
later
.
The
gray
half
-
tones
of
daybreak
are
not
the
gray
half
-
tones
of
the
day
’
s
close
,
though
the
degree
of
their
shade
may
be
the
same
.
In
the
twilight
of
the
morning
light
seems
active
,
darkness
passive
;
in
the
twilight
of
evening
it
is
the
darkness
which
is
active
and
crescent
,
and
the
light
which
is
the
drowsy
reverse
.
Being
so
often
—
possibly
not
always
by
chance
—
the
first
two
persons
to
get
up
at
the
dairy
-
house
,
they
seemed
to
themselves
the
first
persons
up
of
all
the
world
.
In
these
early
days
of
her
residence
here
Tess
did
not
skim
,
but
went
out
of
doors
at
once
after
rising
,
where
he
was
generally
awaiting
her
.
The
spectral
,
half
-
compounded
,
aqueous
light
which
pervaded
the
open
mead
,
impressed
them
with
a
feeling
of
isolation
,
as
if
they
were
Adam
and
Eve
.
At
this
dim
inceptive
stage
of
the
day
Tess
seemed
to
Clare
to
exhibit
a
dignified
largeness
both
of
disposition
and
physique
,
an
almost
regnant
power
,
possibly
because
he
knew
that
at
that
preternatural
time
hardly
any
woman
so
well
endowed
in
person
as
she
was
likely
to
be
walking
in
the
open
air
within
the
boundaries
of
his
horizon
;
very
few
in
all
England
.
Fair
women
are
usually
asleep
at
mid
-
summer
dawns
.
She
was
close
at
hand
,
and
the
rest
were
nowhere
.
The
mixed
,
singular
,
luminous
gloom
in
which
they
walked
along
together
to
the
spot
where
the
cows
lay
,
often
made
him
think
of
the
Resurrection
hour
.
He
little
thought
that
the
Magdalen
might
be
at
his
side
.
Whilst
all
the
landscape
was
in
neutral
shade
his
companion
’
s
face
,
which
was
the
focus
of
his
eyes
,
rising
above
the
mist
stratum
,
seemed
to
have
a
sort
of
phosphorescence
upon
it
.
She
looked
ghostly
,
as
if
she
were
merely
a
soul
at
large
.
In
reality
her
face
,
without
appearing
to
do
so
,
had
caught
the
cold
gleam
of
day
from
the
north
-
east
;
his
own
face
,
though
he
did
not
think
of
it
,
wore
the
same
aspect
to
her
.
It
was
then
,
as
has
been
said
,
that
she
impressed
him
most
deeply
.
She
was
no
longer
the
milkmaid
,
but
a
visionary
essence
of
woman
—
a
whole
sex
condensed
into
one
typical
form
.
He
called
her
Artemis
,
Demeter
,
and
other
fanciful
names
half
teasingly
,
which
she
did
not
like
because
she
did
not
understand
them
.
“
Call
me
Tess
,
”
she
would
say
askance
;
and
he
did
.
Then
it
would
grow
lighter
,
and
her
features
would
become
simply
feminine
;
they
had
changed
from
those
of
a
divinity
who
could
confer
bliss
to
those
of
a
being
who
craved
it
.
