They
retraced
their
steps
,
but
it
was
half
an
hour
before
they
stood
without
the
entrance
-
gate
as
earlier
.
He
then
requested
her
to
stay
where
she
was
,
whilst
he
went
to
see
who
was
within
.
She
sat
down
among
the
bushes
within
the
gate
,
and
Clare
crept
towards
the
house
.
His
absence
lasted
some
considerable
time
,
and
when
he
returned
Tess
was
wildly
anxious
,
not
for
herself
,
but
for
him
.
He
had
found
out
from
a
boy
that
there
was
only
an
old
woman
in
charge
as
caretaker
,
and
she
only
came
there
on
fine
days
,
from
the
hamlet
near
,
to
open
and
shut
the
windows
.
She
would
come
to
shut
them
at
sunset
.
Now
,
we
can
get
in
through
one
of
the
lower
windows
,
and
rest
there
,
said
he
.

Under
his
escort
she
went
tardily
forward
to
the
main
front
,
whose
shuttered
windows
,
like
sightless
eyeballs
,
excluded
the
possibility
of
watchers
.
The
door
was
reached
a
few
steps
further
,
and
one
of
the
windows
beside
it
was
open
.
Clare
clambered
in
,
and
pulled
Tess
in
after
him
.
Except
the
hall
the
rooms
were
all
in
darkness
,
and
they
ascended
the
staircase
.
Up
here
also
the
shutters
were
tightly
closed
,
the
ventilation
being
perfunctorily
done
,
for
this
day
at
least
,
by
opening
the
hall
-
window
in
front
and
an
upper
window
behind
.
Clare
unlatched
the
door
of
a
large
chamber
,
felt
his
way
across
it
,
and
parted
the
shutters
to
the
width
of
two
or
three
inches
.
A
shaft
of
dazzling
sunlight
glanced
into
the
room
,
revealing
heavy
,
old
-
fashioned
furniture
,
crimson
damask
hangings
,
and
an
enormous
four
-
post
bedstead
,
along
the
head
of
which
were
carved
running
figures
,
apparently
Atalanta
s
race
.
Rest
at
last
!
said
he
,
setting
down
his
bag
and
the
parcel
of
viands
They
remained
in
great
quietness
till
the
caretaker
should
have
come
to
shut
the
windows
:
as
a
precaution
,
putting
themselves
in
total
darkness
by
barring
the
shutters
as
before
,
lest
the
woman
should
open
the
door
of
their
chamber
for
any
casual
reason
.
Between
six
and
seven
o
clock
she
came
,
but
did
not
approach
the
wing
they
were
in
.
They
heard
her
close
the
windows
,
fasten
them
,
lock
the
door
,
and
go
away
.
Then
Clare
again
stole
a
chink
of
light
from
the
window
,
and
they
shared
another
meal
,
till
by
-
and
-
by
they
were
enveloped
in
the
shades
of
night
which
they
had
no
candle
to
disperse
.

The
night
was
strangely
solemn
and
still
.
In
the
small
hours
she
whispered
to
him
the
whole
story
of
how
he
had
walked
in
his
sleep
with
her
in
his
arms
across
the
Froom
stream
,
at
the
imminent
risk
of
both
their
lives
,
and
laid
her
down
in
the
stone
coffin
at
the
ruined
abbey
.
He
had
never
known
of
that
till
now
.
Why
didn
t
you
tell
me
next
day
?
he
said
.
It
might
have
prevented
much
misunderstanding
and
woe
.
Don
t
think
of
what
s
past
!
said
she
.
I
am
not
going
to
think
outside
of
now
.
Why
should
we
!
Who
knows
what
tomorrow
has
in
store
?
