Hardly a sou! in the assembly recognized her thin tones to be those of Boldwood, Sudden despair had transformed him. | <_Bathsheba, go with your husband!" Nevertheless, she did not move. The truth was that Bathsheba was beyond the pale of activity ~ and yet <_- not in a swoon. She was in a state of mental gutta serena, her mind was for the minute totally deprived of light at the same time no obscuration was apparent from without. Troy stretched out to pull het towards him, when she quickly shrank back. This visible dread of him seemed to irritate Troy, and he seized her arm and pulled her sharply, Whether his grasp pinched her, or whether his mere touch was the cause, was never known, but at the moment of his seizure she writhed and gave a quick, low scream. The scream had been heard but a few seconds when it was followed by a sudden deafening report that echoed through the room and stupefied them all. The oak partition shook with the concussion, and the place was filled with grey smoke. ; In bewilderment they turned their eyes to Boldwood. At his back, as he stood before the fireplace, was a gun rack, as is usual in farm houses, constructed to hold two guns. When Bathsheba had cried out in her husband's grasp, Boldwood’s face of gnashing despair had changed. The veins had swollen, and a frenzied look had gleamed in his eye. He had turned quickly, taken out one of the guns, cocked it, and at once discharged it at Troy. Troy fell. The distance apart of the two men was so small that the charge of shot did not spread in the least , but passed like a bullet into his body. He uttered a long guttural sigh — there was a contraction — an extension ~ then his muscles relaxed, and he lay still. “ Boldwood was seen through the smoke to be now again engaged with he gabe double < barrell aad be had, meant, in someway fstned his handkerchief the trigger and with is fot on he other end was inthe act of tuning the second barel upon himself: Samay, his man was the | and in the midst of the general horror darted up to him, Boldwood had already ty ‘th hief, and the gun exploded a second time, sending its contents, by a timely | om beam which crossed the ceiling, Pra aej—CPvaLi2023/93/0 01 a “Well it makes no difference’ Boldwood gasped. ‘There is another way for me to die.” S ‘Then he broke from Samway, crossed the room to Bathsheba, and kissed her hand. He put on hig tat, opened the door, and went into the darkness, nobody thinking of preventing him. 2) What do you conceive of the relationship of Bathsheba with the two men whom she seems to be sharing intimate ties with?
