Tess
,
being
left
alone
with
the
younger
children
,
went
first
to
the
outhouse
with
the
fortune
-
telling
book
,
and
stuffed
it
into
the
thatch
.
A
curious
fetichistic
fear
of
this
grimy
volume
on
the
part
of
her
mother
prevented
her
ever
allowing
it
to
stay
in
the
house
all
night
,
and
hither
it
was
brought
back
whenever
it
had
been
consulted
.
Between
the
mother
,
with
her
fast
-
perishing
lumber
of
superstitions
,
folk
-
lore
,
dialect
,
and
orally
transmitted
ballads
,
and
the
daughter
,
with
her
trained
National
teachings
and
Standard
knowledge
under
an
infinitely
Revised
Code
,
there
was
a
gap
of
two
hundred
years
as
ordinarily
understood
.
When
they
were
together
the
Jacobean
and
the
Victorian
ages
were
juxtaposed
.
Returning
along
the
garden
path
Tess
mused
on
what
the
mother
could
have
wished
to
ascertain
from
the
book
on
this
particular
day
.
She
guessed
the
recent
ancestral
discovery
to
bear
upon
it
,
but
did
not
divine
that
it
solely
concerned
herself
.
Dismissing
this
,
however
,
she
busied
herself
with
sprinkling
the
linen
dried
during
the
daytime
,
in
company
with
her
nine
-
year
-
old
brother
Abraham
,
and
her
sister
Eliza
-
Louisa
of
twelve
and
a
half
,
call
“
‘
Liza
-
Lu
,
”
the
youngest
ones
being
put
to
bed
.
There
was
an
interval
of
four
years
and
more
between
Tess
and
the
next
of
the
family
,
the
two
who
had
filled
the
gap
having
died
in
their
infancy
,
and
this
lent
her
a
deputy
-
maternal
attitude
when
she
was
alone
with
her
juniors
.
Next
in
juvenility
to
Abraham
came
two
more
girls
,
Hope
and
Modesty
;
then
a
boy
of
three
,
and
then
the
baby
,
who
had
just
completed
his
first
year
.
All
these
young
souls
were
passengers
in
the
Durbeyfield
ship
—
entirely
dependent
on
the
judgement
of
the
two
Durbeyfield
adults
for
their
pleasures
,
their
necessities
,
their
health
,
even
their
existence
.
If
the
heads
of
the
Durbeyfield
household
chose
to
sail
into
difficulty
,
disaster
,
starvation
,
disease
,
degradation
,
death
,
thither
were
these
half
-
dozen
little
captives
under
hatches
compelled
to
sail
with
them
—
six
helpless
creatures
,
who
had
never
been
asked
if
they
wished
for
life
on
any
terms
,
much
less
if
they
wished
for
it
on
such
hard
conditions
as
were
involved
in
being
of
the
shiftless
house
of
Durbeyfield
.
Some
people
would
like
to
know
whence
the
poet
whose
philosophy
is
in
these
days
deemed
as
profound
and
trustworthy
as
his
song
is
breezy
and
pure
,
gets
his
authority
for
speaking
of
“
Nature
’
s
holy
plan
.
”
It
grew
later
,
and
neither
father
nor
mother
reappeared
.
Tess
looked
out
of
the
door
,
and
took
a
mental
journey
through
Marlott
.
The
village
was
shutting
its
eyes
.
Candles
and
lamps
were
being
put
out
everywhere
:
she
could
inwardly
behold
the
extinguisher
and
the
extended
hand
.
Her
mother
’
s
fetching
simply
meant
one
more
to
fetch
Tess
began
to
perceive
that
a
man
in
indifferent
health
,
who
proposed
to
start
on
a
journey
before
one
in
the
morning
,
ought
not
to
be
at
an
inn
at
this
late
hour
celebrating
his
ancient
blood
.
“
Abraham
,
”
she
said
to
her
little
brother
,
“
do
you
put
on
your
hat
—
you
bain
’
t
afraid
?
—
and
go
up
to
Rolliver
’
s
,
and
see
what
has
gone
wi
’
father
and
mother
.
”
The
boy
jumped
promptly
from
his
seat
,
and
opened
the
door
,
and
the
night
swallowed
him
up
.
Half
an
hour
passed
yet
again
;
neither
man
,
woman
,
nor
child
returned
.
Abraham
,
like
his
parents
,
seemed
to
have
been
limed
and
caught
by
the
ensnaring
inn
.
“
I
must
go
myself
,
”
she
said
.
