Marian
,
primed
to
a
humorous
mood
,
would
discover
the
queer
-
shaped
flints
aforesaid
,
and
shriek
with
laughter
,
Tess
remaining
severely
obtuse
.
They
often
looked
across
the
country
to
where
the
Var
or
Froom
was
know
to
stretch
,
even
though
they
might
not
be
able
to
see
it
;
and
,
fixing
their
eyes
on
the
cloaking
gray
mist
,
imagined
the
old
times
they
had
spent
out
there
.
“
Ah
,
”
said
Marian
,
“
how
I
should
like
another
or
two
of
our
old
set
to
come
here
!
Then
we
could
bring
up
Talbothays
every
day
here
afield
,
and
talk
of
he
,
and
of
what
nice
times
we
had
there
,
and
o
’
the
old
things
we
used
to
know
,
and
make
it
all
come
back
a
’
most
,
in
seeming
!
”
Marian
’
s
eyes
softened
,
and
her
voice
grew
vague
as
the
visions
returned
.
“
I
’
ll
write
to
Izz
Huett
,
”
she
said
.
“
She
’
s
biding
at
home
doing
nothing
now
,
I
know
,
and
I
’
ll
tell
her
we
be
here
,
and
ask
her
to
come
;
and
perhaps
Retty
is
well
enough
now
.
”
Tess
had
nothing
to
say
against
the
proposal
,
and
the
next
she
heard
of
this
plan
for
importing
old
Talbothays
’
joys
was
two
or
three
days
later
,
when
Marian
informed
her
that
Izz
had
replied
to
her
inquiry
,
and
had
promised
to
come
if
she
could
.
There
had
not
been
such
a
winter
for
years
.
It
came
on
in
stealthy
and
measured
glides
,
like
the
moves
of
a
chess
-
player
.
One
morning
the
few
lonely
trees
and
the
thorns
of
the
hedgerows
appeared
as
if
they
had
put
off
a
vegetable
for
an
animal
integument
.
Every
twig
was
covered
with
a
white
nap
as
of
fur
grown
from
the
rind
during
the
night
,
giving
it
four
times
its
usual
stoutness
;
the
whole
bush
or
tree
forming
a
staring
sketch
in
white
lines
on
the
mournful
gray
of
the
sky
and
horizon
.
Cobwebs
revealed
their
presence
on
sheds
and
walls
where
none
had
ever
been
observed
till
brought
out
into
visibility
by
the
crystallizing
atmosphere
,
hanging
like
loops
of
white
worsted
from
salient
points
of
the
out
-
houses
,
posts
,
and
gates
.
After
this
season
of
congealed
dampness
came
a
spell
of
dry
frost
,
when
strange
birds
from
behind
the
North
Pole
began
to
arrive
silently
on
the
upland
of
Flintcomb
-
Ash
;
gaunt
spectral
creatures
with
tragical
eyes
—
eyes
which
had
witnessed
scenes
of
cataclysmal
horror
in
inaccessible
polar
regions
of
a
magnitude
such
as
no
human
being
had
ever
conceived
,
in
curdling
temperatures
that
no
man
could
endure
;
which
had
beheld
the
crash
of
icebergs
and
the
slide
of
snow
-
hills
by
the
shooting
light
of
the
Aurora
;
been
half
blinded
by
the
whirl
of
colossal
storms
and
terraqueous
distortions
;
and
retained
the
expression
of
feature
that
such
scenes
had
engendered
.
These
nameless
birds
came
quite
near
to
Tess
and
Marian
,
but
of
all
they
had
seen
which
humanity
would
never
see
,
they
brought
no
account
.
The
traveller
’
s
ambition
to
tell
was
not
theirs
,
and
,
with
dumb
impassivity
,
they
dismissed
experiences
which
they
did
not
value
for
the
immediate
incidents
of
this
homely
upland
—
the
trivial
movements
of
the
two
girls
in
disturbing
the
clods
with
their
hackers
so
as
to
uncover
something
or
other
that
these
visitants
relished
as
food
.
Then
one
day
a
peculiar
quality
invaded
the
air
of
this
open
country
.
There
came
a
moisture
which
was
not
of
rain
,
and
a
cold
which
was
not
of
frost
.
It
chilled
the
eyeballs
of
the
twain
,
made
their
brows
ache
,
penetrated
to
their
skeletons
,
affecting
the
surface
of
the
body
less
than
its
core
.
They
knew
that
it
meant
snow
,
and
in
the
night
the
snow
came
.
Tess
,
who
continued
to
live
at
the
cottage
with
the
warm
gable
that
cheered
any
lonely
pedestrian
who
paused
beside
it
,
awoke
in
the
night
,
and
heard
above
the
thatch
noises
which
seemed
to
signify
that
the
roof
had
turned
itself
into
a
gymnasium
of
all
the
winds
.
When
she
lit
her
lamp
to
get
up
in
the
morning
she
found
that
the
snow
had
blown
through
a
chink
in
the
casement
,
forming
a
white
cone
of
the
finest
powder
against
the
inside
,
and
had
also
come
down
the
chimney
,
so
that
it
lay
sole
-
deep
upon
the
floor
,
on
which
her
shoes
left
tracks
when
she
moved
about
.
Without
,
the
storm
drove
so
fast
as
to
create
a
snow
-
mist
in
the
kitchen
;
but
as
yet
it
was
too
dark
out
-
of
-
doors
to
see
anything
.
Tess
knew
that
it
was
impossible
to
go
on
with
the
swedes
;
and
by
the
time
she
had
finished
breakfast
beside
the
solitary
little
lamp
,
Marian
arrived
to
tell
her
that
they
were
to
join
the
rest
of
the
women
at
reed
-
drawing
in
the
barn
till
the
weather
changed
.
As
soon
,
therefore
,
as
the
uniform
cloak
of
darkness
without
began
to
turn
to
a
disordered
medley
of
grays
,
they
blew
out
the
lamp
,
wrapped
themselves
up
in
their
thickest
pinners
,
tied
their
woollen
cravats
round
their
necks
and
across
their
chests
,
and
started
for
the
barn
.
The
snow
had
followed
the
birds
from
the
polar
basin
as
a
white
pillar
of
a
cloud
,
and
individual
flakes
could
not
be
seen
.
The
blast
smelt
of
icebergs
,
arctic
seas
,
whales
,
and
white
bears
,
carrying
the
snow
so
that
it
licked
the
land
but
did
not
deepen
on
it
.
They
trudged
onwards
with
slanted
bodies
through
the
flossy
fields
,
keeping
as
well
as
they
could
in
the
shelter
of
hedges
,
which
,
however
,
acted
as
strainers
rather
than
screens
.
The
air
,
afflicted
to
pallor
with
the
hoary
multitudes
that
infested
it
,
twisted
and
spun
them
eccentrically
,
suggesting
an
achromatic
chaos
of
things
.
But
both
the
young
women
were
fairly
cheerful
;
such
weather
on
a
dry
upland
is
not
in
itself
dispiriting
.
“
Ha
-
ha
!
the
cunning
northern
birds
knew
this
was
coming
,
”
said
Marian
.
“
Depend
upon
’
t
,
they
keep
just
in
front
o
’
t
all
the
way
from
the
North
Star
.
Your
husband
,
my
dear
,
is
,
I
make
no
doubt
,
having
scorching
weather
all
this
time
.
Lord
,
if
he
could
only
see
his
pretty
wife
now
!
Not
that
this
weather
hurts
your
beauty
at
all
—
in
fact
,
it
rather
does
it
good
.
”
