“
No
,
my
dear
,
”
said
the
old
woman
.
“
’
Tis
too
soon
for
that
;
the
bells
hain
’
t
strook
out
yet
.
They
be
all
gone
to
hear
the
preaching
in
yonder
barn
.
A
ranter
preaches
there
between
the
services
—
an
excellent
,
fiery
,
Christian
man
,
they
say
.
But
,
Lord
,
I
don
’
t
go
to
hear
’
n
!
What
comes
in
the
regular
way
over
the
pulpit
is
hot
enough
for
I
.
”
Tess
soon
went
onward
into
the
village
,
her
footsteps
echoing
against
the
houses
as
though
it
were
a
place
of
the
dead
.
Nearing
the
central
part
her
echoes
were
intruded
on
by
other
sounds
;
and
seeing
the
barn
not
far
off
the
road
,
she
guessed
these
to
be
the
utterances
of
the
preacher
.
His
voice
became
so
distinct
in
the
still
clear
air
that
she
could
soon
catch
his
sentences
,
though
she
was
on
the
closed
side
of
the
barn
.
The
sermon
,
as
might
be
expected
,
was
of
the
extremest
antinomian
type
;
on
justification
by
faith
,
as
expounded
in
the
theology
of
St
Paul
.
This
fixed
idea
of
the
rhapsodist
was
delivered
with
animated
enthusiasm
,
in
a
manner
entirely
declamatory
,
for
he
had
plainly
no
skill
as
a
dialectician
.
Although
Tess
had
not
heard
the
beginning
of
the
address
,
she
learnt
what
the
text
had
been
from
its
constant
iteration
—
“
O
FOOLISH
GALATIANS
,
WHO
HATH
BEWITCHED
YOU
,
THAT
YE
SHOULD
NOT
OBEY
THE
TRUTH
,
BEFORE
WHOSE
EYES
JESUS
CHRIST
HATH
BEEN
EVIDENTLY
SET
FORTH
,
CRUCIFIED
AMONG
YOU
?
”
Tess
was
all
the
more
interested
,
as
she
stood
listening
behind
,
in
finding
that
the
preacher
’
s
doctrine
was
a
vehement
form
of
the
view
of
Angel
’
s
father
,
and
her
interest
intensified
when
the
speaker
began
to
detail
his
own
spiritual
experiences
of
how
he
had
come
by
those
views
.
He
had
,
he
said
,
been
the
greatest
of
sinners
.
He
had
scoffed
;
he
had
wantonly
associated
with
the
reckless
and
the
lewd
But
a
day
of
awakening
had
come
,
and
,
in
a
human
sense
,
it
had
been
brought
about
mainly
by
the
influence
of
a
certain
clergyman
,
whom
he
had
at
first
grossly
insulted
;
but
whose
parting
words
had
sunk
into
his
heart
,
and
had
remained
there
,
till
by
the
grace
of
Heaven
they
had
worked
this
change
in
him
,
and
made
him
what
they
saw
him
.
But
more
startling
to
Tess
than
the
doctrine
had
been
the
voice
,
which
,
impossible
as
it
seemed
,
was
precisely
that
of
Alec
d
’
Urberville
.
Her
face
fixed
in
painful
suspense
,
she
came
round
to
the
front
of
the
barn
,
and
passed
before
it
.
The
low
winter
sun
beamed
directly
upon
the
great
double
-
doored
entrance
on
this
side
;
one
of
the
doors
being
open
,
so
that
the
rays
stretched
far
in
over
the
threshing
-
floor
to
the
preacher
and
his
audience
,
all
snugly
sheltered
from
the
northern
breeze
.
The
listeners
were
entirely
villagers
,
among
them
being
the
man
whom
she
had
seen
carrying
the
red
paint
-
pot
on
a
former
memorable
occasion
.
But
her
attention
was
given
to
the
central
figure
,
who
stood
upon
some
sacks
of
corn
,
facing
the
people
and
the
door
.
The
three
o
’
clock
sun
shone
full
upon
him
,
and
the
strange
enervating
conviction
that
her
seducer
confronted
her
,
which
had
been
gaining
ground
in
Tess
ever
since
she
had
heard
his
words
distinctly
,
was
at
last
established
as
a
fact
indeed
.
Till
this
moment
she
had
never
seen
or
heard
from
d
’
Urberville
since
her
departure
from
Trantridge
.
The
rencounter
came
at
a
heavy
moment
,
one
of
all
moments
calculated
to
permit
its
impact
with
the
least
emotional
shock
.
But
such
was
unreasoning
memory
that
,
though
he
stood
there
openly
and
palpably
a
converted
man
,
who
was
sorrowing
for
his
past
irregularities
,
a
fear
overcame
her
,
paralyzing
her
movement
so
that
she
neither
retreated
nor
advanced
.
