　The Irish Mail rushed through the night. Or, morecorrectly through the darkness of the early morning hours.
　　At intervals the diesel engine gave its weirdbanshee warning cry. It was travelling at well over eighty miles an hour. It was on time.
　　Then, with some suddenness, the pace slackened asthe brakes came on. The wheels screamed as they gripped the metals. Slower… slower…. The guard put his head out of the windownoting the red signal ahead as the train came to a final halt. Some of the passengers wokeup. Most did not.

　　One elderly lady, alarmed by the suddenness of thedeceleration, opened the door and looked out along the corridor. A little way along one ofthe doors to the line was open. An elderly cleric with a thatch of thick white hair wasclimbing up from the permanent way. She presumed he had previously climbed down to theline to investigate.
　　The morning air was distinctly chilly. Someone atthe end of the corridor said: "Only a signal." The elderly lady withdrew into her compartment and tried to go to sleepagain.

It seemed a little tame to go home just like thiswhen he ought to have been dining in Lucerne and talking about all sorts of interestingand fascinating problems. His eye was caught by a cinema. Walls of Jericho. It seemed aneminently suitable title. It would be interesting to see if biblical accuracy had beenpreserved.

　　He bought himself a seat and stumbled into thedarkness. He enjoyed the film, though it seemed to him to have no relationship to thebiblical story whatsoever. Even Joshua seemed to have been left out. The walls of Jerichoseemed to be a symbolical way of referring to a certain lady'smarriage vows. When they had tumbled down several times, the beautiful star met the dourand uncouth hero whom she had secretly loved all along and between them they proposed tobuild up the walls in a way that would stand the test of time better. It was not a filmdestined particularly to appeal to an elderly clergyman; but Canon Pennyfather enjoyed itvery much. It was not the sort of film he often saw and he felt it was enlarging hisknowledge of life. The film ended, the lights went up, the National Anthem was played andCanon Pennyfather stumbled out into the lights of London, slightly consoled for the sadevents of earlier in the evening.

No; my feelings are not often shared, not often understood. But sometimes they are." As she said this, she sunk into a reverie for a few moments; but rousing herself again, "Now, Edward," said she, calling his attention to the prospect, "here is Barton Valley. Look up it, and be tranquil if you can. Look at those hills. Did you ever see their equals? To the left is Barton Park, amongst those woods and plantations. You may see the end of the house. And there, beneath that farthest hill, which rises
oil paintingwith such grandour, is our cottage." 　　 "It is a beautiful country," he replied; "but these bottoms must be dirty in winter." 　　 "How can you think of dirt, with such objects before you?" 　　 "Because," replied he, smiling, "among the rest of the objects before me, I see a very dirty lane." 　　 "How strange!" said Marianne to herself, as she walked on. 　　 "Have you an agreeable neighbourhood here? Are the Middletons pleasant people?" 　　 "No, not all," answered Marianne; "we could not be more unfortunately situated."

Clay, I might botch up some such Pot, as might, being dry'd in the Sun, be hard enough, and strong enough to bear handling, and to hold any Thing that was dry, and requir'd to be kept so; and as this was necessary in the preparing Corn, Meal, etc. which was the Thing I was upon, I resolv'd to make some as large as I could, and fit only to stand like Jarrs to hold what should be put into them.
It would make the Reader pity me, or rather laugh at me, to tell how many awkward ways I took to raise this Paste, what odd mishapen ugly things I made, how many of them fell in, and how many fell out, the Clay not being stiff enough to bear its own Weight; how many crack'd by the over violent Heat of the Sun, being set out too hastily; and how many fell in pieces with only removing, as well before as after they were dry'd; and in a word, how after having labour'd hard to find the Clay, to dig it, to temper it, to bring it home and work it; I could not make above two large earthern ugly things, I cannot call them Jarrs, in about two Months Labour.
However, as the Sun bak'd these Two, very dry and hard, I lifted them very gently up, and set them down again in two great Wicker-Baskets which I had made on purpose for them, that they might not break, and as between the Pot and the Basket there was a little room to spare, I stuff'd it full of the Rice and Barley Straw, and these two Pots being to stand always dry, I thought would hold my dry Corn, and perhaps the Meal, when the Corn was bruised.

¡¡¡¡There was not much time, however, for thought or elusion, and she yielded as calmly as she could to the necessity of letting him overtake her. She saw that he was excited, less by the speed of his walk than by the feelings within him. ¡¡¡¡`Tess!' he said. ¡¡¡¡She slackened speed without looking round. ¡¡¡¡`Tess!' he repeated. `It is I - Alec d'Urberville.' ¡¡¡¡She then looked back at him, and he came up. ¡¡¡¡`I see it is,' she answered coldly. ¡¡¡¡`Well - is that all? Yet I deserve no more! Of course,' he added, with a slight laugh, `there is something of the ridiculous to your eyes in seeing me like this. But - I must put up with that... . I heard you had gone away, nobody, knew where. Tess, you wonder why I have followed you?' ¡¡¡¡`I do, rather; and I would that you had not, with all my heart!' ¡¡¡¡`Yes - you may well say it,' he returned grimly, as they moved onward together, she with unwilling tread. `But don't mistake me; I beg this because you may have been led to do so in noticing - if you did notice it - how your sudden appearance unnerved me down there. It was but a momentary faltering; and considering what you had been to me, it was natural enough. But will helped me through it - though perhaps you think me a humbug for saying it - and immediately afterwards I felt that, of all persons in the world whom it was my duty and desire to save from the wrath to come - sneer if you like - the woman whom I had so grievously wronged was that person. I have come with that sole purpose in view - nothing more.' ¡¡¡¡There was the smallest vein of scorn in her words of rejoinder: `Have you saved yourself? Charity begins at home, they say.'

¡¡¡¡`You know very well why. Because I cannot help myself here.' ¡¡¡¡`I haven't offended you often by love-making?' ¡¡¡¡`You have sometimes.' ¡¡¡¡`How many times?' ¡¡¡¡`You know as well as I - too many times.' ¡¡¡¡`Every time I have tried.' ¡¡¡¡She was silent, and the horse ambled along for a considerable distance, till a faint luminous fog, which had hung in the hollows all the evening, became general and enveloped them. It seemed to hold the moonlight in suspension, rendering it more pervasive than in clear air. Whether on this account, or from absentmindedness, or from sleepiness, she did not perceive that they had long ago passed the point at which the lane to Trantridge branched from the highway, and that her conductor had not taken the Trantridge track. ¡¡¡¡She was inexpressibly weary. She had risen at five o'clock every morning of that week, had been on foot the whole of each day and on this evening had in addition walked the three miles to Chaseborough, waited three hours for her neighbours without eating or drinking, her impatience to start them preventing either; she had then walked a mile of the way home, and had undergone the excitement of the quarrel, till, with the slow progress of their steed, it was now nearly one o'clock. Only once, however, was she overcome by actual drowsiness. In that moment of oblivion her head sank gently against him. ¡¡¡¡D'Urberville stopped the horse, withdrew his feet from the stirrups, turned sideways on the saddle, and enclosed her waist with his arm to support her. ¡¡¡¡This immediately put her on the defensive, and with one of those sudden impulses of reprisal to which she was liable she gave him a little push from her. In his ticklish position he nearly lost his balance and only just avoided rolling over into the road, the horse, though a powerful one, being fortunately the quietest he rode.

Miss Elliot," said he, speaking rather low, "you have done a good deed in making that poor fellow talk so much. I wish he could have such company oftener. It is bad for him, I know, to be shut up as he is; but what can we do? We cannot part." ¡¡¡¡ "No," said Anne, "that I can easily believe to be impossible; but in time, perhaps--we know what time does in every case of affliction, and you must remember, Captain Harville, that your friend may yet be called a young mourner--only last summer, I understand." ¡¡¡¡ "Ay, true enough," (with a deep sigh) "only June." ¡¡¡¡ "And not known to him, perhaps, so soon." ¡¡¡¡ "Not till the first week of August, when he came home from the Cape, just made into the Grappler. I was at Plymouth dreading to hear of him; he sent in letters, but the Grappler was under orders for Portsmouth. There the news must follow him, but who was to tell it? not I. I would as soon have been run up to the yard-arm. Nobody could do it, but that good fellow" (pointing to Captain Wentworth.) "The Laconia had come into Plymouth the week before; no danger of her being sent to sea again. He stood his chance for the rest; wrote up for leave of absence, but without waiting the return, travelled night and day till he got to Portsmouth, rowed off to the Grappler that instant, and never left the poor fellow for a week. That's what he did, and nobody else could have saved poor James. You may think, Miss Elliot, whether he is dear to us!"

with the white head. They were consigned to me, with him, at the--" He dropped his voice, there was a flutter among the military lanterns, and one of them being handed into the coach by an arm in uniform, the eyes connected with the arm looked, not an every day or an every night look, at monsieur with the white head. "It is well. Forward!" from the uniform. "Adieu!" from Defarge. And so, under a short grove of feebler and feebler over-swinging lamps, out under the great grove of stars. ¡¡¡¡Beneath that arch of unmoved and eternal lights; some, so remote from this little earth that the learned tell us it is doubtful whether their rays have even yet discovered it, as a point in space where anything is suffered or done: the shadows of the night were broad and black. All through the cold and restless interval, until dawn, they once more whispered in the ears of Mr. Jarvis Lorry- sitting opposite the buried man who had been dug out, and wondering what subtle powers were for ever lost to him, and what were capable of restoration- the old inquiry: ¡¡¡¡"I hope you care to be recalled to life?" ¡¡¡¡And the old answer: ¡¡¡¡"I can't say."

　　 Miss Dashwood had a delicate complexion, regular features, and a remarkably pretty figure. Marianne was still handsomer. Her form, though not so correct as her sister's, in having the advantage of height, was more striking; and her face was so lovely, that when, in the common cant of praise, she was called a beautiful girl, truth was less violently outraged than usually happens. Her skin was very brown, but, from its transparency, her complexion was uncommonly brilliant; her features were all good; her smile was sweet and attractive; and in her eyes, which were very dark, there was a life, a spirit, an eagerness, which could hardily be seen without delight. From Willoughby their expression was at first held back, by the embarrassment which the remembrance of his assistance created. But when this passed away, when her spirits became collected, when she saw that to the perfect good breeding of the gentleman, he united frankness and vivacity, and above all, when she heard him declare, that of music and dancing he was passionately fond, she gave him such a look of approbation, as secured the largest share of his discourse to herself for the rest of his stay.

¡¡¡¡ JUDE'S reverie was interrupted by the creak of footsteps ascending the stairs. ¡¡¡¡ He whisked Sue's clothing from the chair where it was drying, thrust it under the bed, and sat down to his book. Somebody knocked and opened the door immediately. It was the landlady. ¡¡¡¡ "Oh, I didn't know whether you was in or not, Mr. Fawley. I wanted to know if you would require supper. I see you've a young gentleman----" ¡¡¡¡ "Yes, ma'am. But I think I won't come down to-night. Will you bring supper up on a tray, and I'll have a cup of tea as well." ¡¡¡¡ It was Jude's custom to go downstairs to the kitchen, and eat his meals with the family, to save trouble. His landlady brought up the supper, however, on this occasion, and he took it from her at the door. ¡¡¡¡ When she had descended he set the teapot on the hob, and drew out Sue's clothes anew; but they were far from dry. A thick woollen gown, he found, held a deal of water. So he hung them up again, and enlarged his fire and mused as the steam from the garments went up the chimney. ¡¡¡¡ Suddenly she said, "Jude!" ¡¡¡¡ "Yes. All right. How do you feel now?" ¡¡¡¡ "Better. Quite well. Why, I fell asleep, didn't I? What time is it? Not late surely?"
