How
do
you
know

said
Liddy
,
amazed
.
"
I
don
t
know
it
.
But
wouldn
t
it
have
been
different
,
or
shouldn
t
I
have
heard
more
,
or
wouldn
t
they
have
found
him
,
Liddy
?
or
I
don
t
know
how
it
is
,
but
death
would
have
been
different
from
how
this
is
.
I
am
perfectly
convinced
that
he
is
still
alive
!
"
Bathsheba
remained
firm
in
this
opinion
till
Monday
,
when
two
circumstances
conjoined
to
shake
it
.
The
first
was
a
short
paragraph
in
the
local
newspaper
,
which
,
beyond
making
by
a
methodizing
pen
formidable
presumptive
evidence
of
Troy
s
death
by
drowning
,
contained
the
important
testimony
of
a
young
Mr
.
Barker
,
M
.
D
.
,
of
Budmouth
,
who
spoke
to
being
an
eyewitness
of
the
accident
,
in
a
letter
to
the
editor
.
In
this
he
stated
that
he
was
passing
over
the
cliff
on
the
remoter
side
of
the
cove
just
as
the
sun
was
setting
.
At
that
time
he
saw
a
bather
carried
along
in
the
current
outside
the
mouth
of
the
cove
,
and
guessed
in
an
instant
that
there
was
but
a
poor
chance
for
him
unless
he
should
be
possessed
of
unusual
muscular
powers
.
He
drifted
behind
a
projection
of
the
coast
,
and
Mr
.
Barker
followed
along
the
shore
in
the
same
direction
.
But
by
the
time
that
he
could
reach
an
elevation
sufficiently
great
to
command
a
view
of
the
sea
beyond
,
dusk
had
set
in
,
and
nothing
further
was
to
be
seen
.

The
other
circumstance
was
the
arrival
of
his
clothes
,
when
it
became
necessary
for
her
to
examine
and
identify
them
though
this
had
virtually
been
done
long
before
by
those
who
inspected
the
letters
in
his
pockets
.
It
was
so
evident
to
her
in
the
midst
of
her
agitation
that
Troy
had
undressed
in
the
full
conviction
of
dressing
again
almost
immediately
,
that
the
notion
that
anything
but
death
could
have
prevented
him
was
a
perverse
one
to
entertain
.
Then
Bathsheba
said
to
herself
that
others
were
assured
in
their
opinion
;
strange
that
she
should
not
be
.
A
strange
reflection
occurred
to
her
,
causing
her
face
to
flush
.
Suppose
that
Troy
had
followed
Fanny
into
another
world
.
Had
he
done
this
intentionally
,
yet
contrived
to
make
his
death
appear
like
an
accident
?
Nevertheless
,
this
thought
of
how
the
apparent
might
differ
from
the
real
made
vivid
by
her
bygone
jealousy
of
Fanny
,
and
the
remorse
he
had
shown
that
night
did
not
blind
her
to
the
perception
of
a
likelier
difference
,
less
tragic
,
but
to
herself
far
more
disastrous
When
alone
late
that
evening
beside
a
small
fire
,
and
much
calmed
down
,
Bathsheba
took
Troy
s
watch
into
her
hand
,
which
had
been
restored
to
her
with
the
rest
of
the
articles
belonging
to
him
.
She
opened
the
case
as
he
had
opened
it
before
her
a
week
ago
.
There
was
the
little
coil
of
pale
hair
which
had
been
as
the
fuze
to
this
great
explosion
.
