ID EFORE Bathsheba Everdene
came to Weatherbury as mis-
tress of the manor-house, time
seemed TO have forgotten the village.
The smOck-clad shepherds in the
thatch-roofed cottages might have
been, as far as appearances went
their own ancestors of four centuries
before. Little happenings seemed ire
mendous. The pulling down of
hovel was stirring event; the trans
formation of a well into pump shook
Weatherbury like revolution.
The stir of the great world without,
Its romance and passion and tragedy
these came to Weatherbury with Bath
sheba There was new arrival to be
discussed, a great-boned, ruddy-faced
shepherd, Gabriel Oak, who beat out
fire that menaced the wheatricks
and who remained to work for Bath
sheba, Fanny Robin, a servant, dis
appeared, lured by a soldiers red
coat These were things to agitate
the heads of the rustics who gathered
at nightfall in the old malthOuse to
drink and to moralize.
Their heads would have wagged
even more had they known that Gabri-
ell Oak, only few weeks before, had
been his own master and had vainly
urged Bathsheba, then a penniless
maiden, to marry him. Things that
had seemed commonplace enough had
abruptly reversed their places in the
world. A man had died in Weather
bury; dog had driven to death
flock Of sheep. These were but the
inevitable tragedies Of life and yet the
one had suddenly made Bathsheba an
heiress; the other had driven Gabriel
out upon the. highways to seek work.
Chance or fate had kindled fire, Ga
brlel had saved the wheat, and the
two lives that had been flung so far
apart were brought near again.
The pain of seeing another win her
whom he loved would be intense but |
Gabriel preferred even this life where |
he could not see her. He knew that |
this must happen. Bathsheba was
young, beautiful, wealthy, but rarer
than these was her high spirit. "She
was the stuff Of which great mems |
mothers are made. She was indispens-
able to high generation, hated at tea
parties, feared in shops and loved at |
crises" This spirit, however, was to |
flame more brightly later, after her |
had plunged her into the |
crises that were to prove her worth. |
In all Weatherbury, one man alone |
was needless to her charm. This was |
William Boldwood, "the nearest APP
prOach to aristocracy that this rem0ter |
quarter of the parish could boast Of" |
She resented being ignored and, in a |
moment of thoughtlessness, sent him
a valentine that famed into fame pas
sions that Boldwood had hidden from
the world.
At the shearing supper held in the |
great barn, Gabriel could see that |
Boldwood's suit was prospecting. He |
was madly in love, she no longer dis
couraged him. Neither Bathsheba nor |
Boldwood were thinking then Of song |
she had sung earlier that evening, |
when "tho shearers reclined against
each other as at suppers in the early |
ages of the world" Yet afterward how |
often welp they to recall with a shud- |
