As
they
drew
nearer
she
could
hear
their
voices
engaged
in
earnest
discourse
,
and
,
with
the
natural
quickness
of
a
woman
in
her
situation
,
did
not
fail
to
recognize
in
those
noises
the
quality
of
her
husband
’
s
tones
.
The
pedestrians
were
his
two
brothers
.
Forgetting
all
her
plans
,
Tess
’
s
one
dread
was
lest
they
should
overtake
her
now
,
in
her
disorganized
condition
,
before
she
was
prepared
to
confront
them
;
for
though
she
felt
that
they
could
not
identify
her
she
instinctively
dreaded
their
scrutiny
.
The
more
briskly
they
walked
the
more
briskly
walked
she
.
They
were
plainly
bent
upon
taking
a
short
quick
stroll
before
going
indoors
to
lunch
or
dinner
,
to
restore
warmth
to
limbs
chilled
with
sitting
through
a
long
service
.
Only
one
person
had
preceded
Tess
up
the
hill
—
a
ladylike
young
woman
,
somewhat
interesting
,
though
,
perhaps
,
a
trifle
GUINDEE
and
prudish
.
Tess
had
nearly
overtaken
her
when
the
speed
of
her
brothers
-
in
-
law
brought
them
so
nearly
behind
her
back
that
she
could
hear
every
word
of
their
conversation
.
They
said
nothing
,
however
,
which
particularly
interested
her
till
,
observing
the
young
lady
still
further
in
front
,
one
of
them
remarked
,
“
There
is
Mercy
Chant
.
Let
us
overtake
her
.
”
Tess
knew
the
name
.
It
was
the
woman
who
had
been
destined
for
Angel
’
s
life
-
companion
by
his
and
her
parents
,
and
whom
he
probably
would
have
married
but
for
her
intrusive
self
.
She
would
have
know
as
much
without
previous
information
if
she
had
waited
a
moment
,
for
one
of
the
brothers
proceeded
to
say
:
“
Ah
!
poor
Angel
,
poor
Angel
!
I
never
see
that
nice
girl
without
more
and
more
regretting
his
precipitancy
in
throwing
himself
away
upon
a
dairymaid
,
or
whatever
she
may
be
.
It
is
a
queer
business
,
apparently
.
Whether
she
has
joined
him
yet
or
not
I
don
’
t
know
;
but
she
had
not
done
so
some
months
ago
when
I
heard
from
him
.
”
“
I
can
’
t
say
.
He
never
tells
me
anything
nowadays
.
His
ill
-
considered
marriage
seems
to
have
completed
that
estrangement
from
me
which
was
begun
by
his
extraordinary
opinions
.
”
Tess
beat
up
the
long
hill
still
faster
;
but
she
could
not
outwalk
them
without
exciting
notice
.
At
last
they
outsped
her
altogether
,
and
passed
her
by
.
The
young
lady
still
further
ahead
heard
their
footsteps
and
turned
.
Then
there
was
a
greeting
and
a
shaking
of
hands
,
and
the
three
went
on
together
.
They
soon
reached
the
summit
of
the
hill
,
and
,
evidently
intending
this
point
to
be
the
limit
of
their
promenade
,
slackened
pace
and
turned
all
three
aside
to
the
gate
whereat
Tess
had
paused
an
hour
before
that
time
to
reconnoitre
the
town
before
descending
into
it
.
During
their
discourse
one
of
the
clerical
brothers
probed
the
hedge
carefully
with
his
umbrella
,
and
dragged
something
to
light
.
“
Here
’
s
a
pair
of
old
boots
,
”
he
said
.
“
Thrown
away
,
I
suppose
,
by
some
tramp
or
other
.
”
“
Some
imposter
who
wished
to
come
into
the
town
barefoot
,
perhaps
,
and
so
excite
our
sympathies
,
”
said
Miss
Chant
.
“
Yes
,
it
must
have
been
,
for
they
are
excellent
walking
-
boots
—
by
no
means
worn
out
.
What
a
wicked
thing
to
do
!
I
’
ll
carry
them
home
for
some
poor
person
.
”
