He
held
that
education
had
as
yet
but
little
affected
the
beats
of
emotion
and
impulse
on
which
domestic
happiness
depends
.
It
was
probable
that
,
in
the
lapse
of
ages
,
improved
systems
of
moral
and
intellectual
training
would
appreciably
,
perhaps
considerably
,
elevate
the
involuntary
and
even
the
unconscious
instincts
of
human
nature
;
but
up
to
the
present
day
culture
,
as
far
as
he
could
see
,
might
be
said
to
have
affected
only
the
mental
epiderm
of
those
lives
which
had
been
brought
under
its
influence
.
This
belief
was
confirmed
by
his
experience
of
women
,
which
,
having
latterly
been
extended
from
the
cultivated
middle
-
class
into
the
rural
community
,
had
taught
him
how
much
less
was
the
intrinsic
difference
between
the
good
and
wise
woman
of
one
social
stratum
and
the
good
and
wise
woman
of
another
social
stratum
,
than
between
the
good
and
bad
,
the
wise
and
the
foolish
,
of
the
same
stratum
or
class
.
It
was
the
morning
of
his
departure
.
His
brothers
had
already
left
the
Vicarage
to
proceed
on
a
walking
tour
in
the
north
,
whence
one
was
to
return
to
his
college
,
and
the
other
to
his
curacy
.
Angel
might
have
accompanied
them
,
but
preferred
to
rejoin
his
sweetheart
at
Talbothays
.
He
would
have
been
an
awkward
member
of
the
party
;
for
,
though
the
most
appreciative
humanist
,
the
most
ideal
religionist
,
even
the
best
-
versed
Christologist
of
the
three
,
there
was
alienation
in
the
standing
consciousness
that
his
squareness
would
not
fit
the
round
hole
that
had
been
prepared
for
him
.
To
neither
Felix
nor
Cuthbert
had
he
ventured
to
mention
Tess
.
His
mother
made
him
sandwiches
,
and
his
father
accompanied
him
,
on
his
own
mare
,
a
little
way
along
the
road
.
Having
fairly
well
advanced
his
own
affairs
Angel
listened
in
a
willing
silence
,
as
they
jogged
on
together
through
the
shady
lanes
,
to
his
father
’
s
account
of
his
parish
difficulties
,
and
the
coldness
of
brother
clergymen
whom
he
loved
,
because
of
his
strict
interpretations
of
the
New
Testament
by
the
light
of
what
they
deemed
a
pernicious
Calvinistic
doctrine
.
“
Pernicious
!
”
said
Mr
Clare
,
with
genial
scorn
;
and
he
proceeded
to
recount
experiences
which
would
show
the
absurdity
of
that
idea
.
He
told
of
wondrous
conversions
of
evil
livers
of
which
he
had
been
the
instrument
,
not
only
amongst
the
poor
,
but
amongst
the
rich
and
well
-
to
-
do
;
and
he
also
candidly
admitted
many
failures
.
As
an
instance
of
the
latter
,
he
mentioned
the
case
of
a
young
upstart
squire
named
d
’
Urberville
,
living
some
forty
miles
off
,
in
the
neighbourhood
of
Trantridge
.
“
Not
one
of
the
ancient
d
’
Urbervilles
of
Kingsbere
and
other
places
?
”
asked
his
son
.
“
That
curiously
historic
worn
-
out
family
with
its
ghostly
legend
of
the
coach
-
and
-
four
?
”
“
O
no
.
The
original
d
’
Urbervilles
decayed
and
disappeared
sixty
or
eighty
years
ago
—
at
least
,
I
believe
so
.
This
seems
to
be
a
new
family
which
had
taken
the
name
;
for
the
credit
of
the
former
knightly
line
I
hope
they
are
spurious
,
I
’
m
sure
.
But
it
is
odd
to
hear
you
express
interest
in
old
families
.
I
thought
you
set
less
store
by
them
even
than
I
.
”
“
You
misapprehend
me
,
father
;
you
often
do
,
”
said
Angel
with
a
little
impatience
.
“
Politically
I
am
sceptical
as
to
the
virtue
of
their
being
old
.
Some
of
the
wise
even
among
themselves
‘
exclaim
against
their
own
succession
,
’
as
Hamlet
puts
it
;
but
lyrically
,
dramatically
,
and
even
historically
,
I
am
tenderly
attached
to
them
.
”
This
distinction
,
though
by
no
means
a
subtle
one
,
was
yet
too
subtle
for
Mr
Clare
the
elder
,
and
he
went
on
with
the
story
he
had
been
about
to
relate
;
which
was
that
after
the
death
of
the
senior
so
-
called
d
’
Urberville
the
young
man
developed
the
most
culpable
passions
,
though
he
had
a
blind
mother
,
whose
condition
should
have
made
him
know
better
.
A
knowledge
of
his
career
having
come
to
the
ears
of
Mr
Clare
,
when
he
was
in
that
part
of
the
country
preaching
missionary
sermons
,
he
boldly
took
occasion
to
speak
to
the
delinquent
on
his
spiritual
state
.
Though
he
was
a
stranger
,
occupying
another
’
s
pulpit
,
he
had
felt
this
to
be
his
duty
,
and
took
for
his
text
the
words
from
St
Luke
:
“
Thou
fool
,
this
night
thy
soul
shall
be
required
of
thee
!
”
The
young
man
much
resented
this
directness
of
attack
,
and
in
the
war
of
words
which
followed
when
they
met
he
did
not
scruple
publicly
to
insult
Mr
Clare
,
without
respect
for
his
gray
hairs
.
