doesn¨t�察�I¨m sure he never did�察�I wouldn¨t let him�察�I don¨t like him�察院�

she   said   hastily�察  �and   the   tears   of   vexation   had   come   so   fast   that 

before she  had done speaking  a bright  drop   rolled down   her  hot 

cheek。 Then she felt ashamed to death that she was crying�察�and for 

one long instant her happiness was all   gone。   But  in   the   next she 

felt an arm steal round her�察�and a gentle voice said�察 �Why�察�Hetty�察�

what makes you cry�拭�I didn¨t mean to vex you。 I wouldn¨t vex you 

for the world�察�you little blossom。 Come�察�don¨t cry�察�look at me�察�else I 

shall think you won¨t forgive me。 ̄ 

    Arthur   had   laid   his   hand   on   the   soft   arm   that   was   nearest   to 

him�察    �and   was    stooping     towards     Hetty    with   a  look    of  coaxing 

entreaty。 Hetty lifted her long dewy lashes�察�and met the eyes that 

were bent towards her with a sweet�察�timid�察�beseeching look。 What 

a   space   of   time   those   three   moments   were   while   their   eyes   met 

and  his arms   touched  her�  �Love   is   such  a simple   thing  when   we 

have only one´and´twenty summers and a sweet girl of seventeen 

trembles under our glance�察�as if she were a bud first opening her 

heart     with    wondering       rapture     to   the   morning。      Such     young 

unfurrowed souls roll to meet each other like   two  velvet  peaches 

that   touch   softly   and   are    at   rest�察 �they   mingle    as  easily   as  two 

brooklets      that   ask   for  nothing    but   to   entwine     themselves      and 

ripple   with   ever´interlacing   curves   in   the   leafiest   hiding´places。 

While Arthur gazed into Hetty¨s dark beseeching eyes�察�it made no 

difference to him what sort of English she spoke�察�and even if hoops 

and   powder   had   been   in   fashion�察  �he   would   very   likely   not   have 

been     sensible    just  then    that  Hetty    wanted     those    signs   of  high 

breeding。

    But   they   started   asunder   with   beating   hearts�此  �something   had 

fallen on the ground with a rattling noise�察�it was Hetty¨s basket�察�all 

her little workwoman¨s matters were scattered on the path�察�some 

of them showing a capability of rolling to great lengths。 There was 

much to be   done   in   picking  up�察  �and not  a   word   was   spoken�察 �but 

when Arthur hung the basket over her arm again�察�the poor child 

felt a strange difference in   his   look  and manner。   He   just  pressed 

her hand�察�and said�察�with a look and tone that were almost chilling 

to her�察 �I have been hindering you�察�I must not keep you any longer 

now。 You will be expected at the house。 Good´bye。 ̄ 

    Without waiting for her to speak�察�he turned away from her and 

hurried back towards the road that led to the Hermitage�察�leaving 

Hetty to pursue her way in a strange dream that seemed to have 

begun       in   bewildering      delight     and    was     now     passing     into 

contrarieties and sadness。 Would he meet  her  again   as   she   came 

home�拭 �Why  had   he  spoken  almost  as   if   he   were   displeased   with 

her�拭�And then run away so suddenly�拭�She cried�察�hardly knowing 

why。 

   Arthur too was very uneasy�察�but his feelings were lit up for him 

by   a   more   distinct   consciousness。   He   hurried   to   the   Hermitage�察�

which   stood   in   the   heart   of   the   wood�察  �unlocked   the   door   with   a 

hasty wrench�察�slammed it after him�察�pitched Zeluco into the most 

distant  corner�察�and   thrusting  his   right  hand   into  his   pocket�察  �first 

walked   four   or   five   times   up   and   down   the   scanty   length   of   the 

little   room�察   �and    then    seated    himself    on   the   ottoman      in   an 

uncomfortable        stiff  way�察  �as  we   often   do   when    we   wish    not  to 

abandon ourselves to feeling。 

    He was getting in love with Hetty!that was quite plain。 He was 

ready to pitch everything else!no matter where!for the sake   of

surrendering        himself    to  this  delicious    feeling    which    had    just 

disclosed   itself。   It  was no  use  blinking   the   fact   now!they   would 

get too fond of each other�察�if he went on taking notice of her!and 

what would come of it�拭�He should have to go away in a few weeks�察�

and the poor little thing would be miserable。 He must not see her 

alone again�察�he must keep out of her way。 What a fool he was for 

coming back from Gawaine¨s� �

    He got up and threw open the windows�察�to let in the soft breath 

of the afternoon�察�and the healthy scent of the firs that made a belt 

round the Hermitage。 The soft air did not help his resolution�察�as he 

leaned out and looked   into  the   leafy  distance。   But  he   considered 

his resolution sufficiently fixed�此�there was no need to debate with 

himself any longer。   He   had made   up   his  mind  not  to  meet  Hetty 

again�察    �and    now    he   might    give    himself    up   to   thinking     how 

immensely agreeable it would be if circumstances were different! 

how pleasant it would have been to meet her this evening as she 

came   back�察  �and   put   his   arm   round   her   again   and   look   into   her 

sweet  face。   He   wondered   if  the   dear  little   thing  were   thinking  of 

him too!twenty to one she was。 How beautiful her eyes were with 

the tear on their lashes� �He would like to satisfy his soul for a day 

with looking at them�察�and he must see her again!he must see her�察�

simply   to   remove   any   false   impression   from   her   mind   about   his 

manner to her just now。 He would behave in a quiet�察�kind way to 

her!just   to   prevent   her   from   going   home   with   her   head   full   of 

wrong fancies。 Yes�察�that would be the best thing to do after all。 

    It   was  a   long   while!more       than   an   hour   before    Arthur    had 

brought  his   meditations   to   this   point�察  �but   once   arrived   there�察  �he 

could stay no longer at the Hermitage。 The time must be filled up 

with    movement        until  he   should    see   Hetty    again。   And    it  was

                              Chapter XIII 



                         Evening in the Wood 



     t  happened   that   Mrs。   Pomfret   had   had   a   slight   quarrel   with 

     Mrs。 Best�察�the housekeeper�察�on this Thursday morning!a fact 

I 

     which   had   two   consequences   highly   convenient   to   Hetty。   It 

caused Mrs。 Pomfret to have tea sent up to her own room�察�and it 

inspired that exemplary lady¨s maid with so lively a recollection of 

former passages in Mrs。 Best¨s conduct�察�and of dialogues in which 

Mrs。   Best   had   decidedly   the    inferiority   as   an   interlocutor   with 

Mrs。 Pomfret�察�that Hetty required no more presence of mind than 

was demanded for using her needle�察�and throwing in an occasional 

^yes ̄   or   ^no。 ̄   She   would   have   wanted   to   put   on   her   hat   earlier 

than    usual�察  �only   she   had    told  Captain    Donnithorne       that   she 

usually set out about eight o¨clock�察�and if he should go to the Grove 

again   expecting   to   see   her�察  �and   she   should   be   gone�   �Would   he 

come�拭     �Her   little  butterfly   soul   fluttered    incessantly    between 

memory and dubious expectation。 At last the minute´hand   of  the 

old´fashioned   brazen´faced   timepiece   was   on   the   last   quarter   to 

eight�察�and there   was  every  reason   for  its being  time   to  get  ready 

for   departure。    Even    Mrs。   Pomfret¨s     preoccupied     mind    did   not 

prevent her from noticing what looked like a new flush of beauty 

in the little thing as she tied on her hat before the looking´glass。 

    ^That child  gets   prettier  and   prettier  every  day�察  �I   do believe�察院�

was her inward comment。 ^The more¨s the pity。 She¨ll get neither 

a place nor a husband any the sooner for it。 Sober well´to´do men 

don¨t    like  such   pretty   wives。   When     I  was   a  girl�察 �I  was  more

admired than if I had been so very pretty。 However�察�she¨s reason 

to be grateful to me   for  teaching  her  something  to  get  her  bread 

with�察  �better   than   farm´house   work。   They   always   told   me   I   was 

good´natured!and            that¨s   the   truth�察  �and    to  my    hurt   too�察  �else 

there¨s them in this house that wouldn¨t be here now to lord it over 

me in the housekeeper¨s room。 ̄ 

    Hetty walked hastily across the short space of pleasure´ground 

which she had   to  traverse�察  �dreading  to  meet  Mr。   Craig�察  �to  whom 

she could hardly have spoken civilly。 How relieved she was when 

she    had   got   safely   under   the    oaks   and    among     the   fern   of  the 

Chase� �Even then she was as ready to be startled as the deer that
