Thomas Hardy: Far from the Madding CrowdChapter 19: The Sheep-washing--the Offer (continued)"I will call upon you again to-morrow." "No--please not. Give me time." "Yes--I will give you any time," he said earnestly and gratefully. "I am happier now." "No--I beg you! Don't be happier if happiness only comes from my agreeing. Be neutral, Mr. Boldwood! I must think." "I will wait," he said. And then she turned away. Boldwood dropped his gaze to the ground, and stood long like a man who did not know where he was. Realities then returned upon him like the pain of a wound received in an excitement which eclipses it, and he, too, then went on. This is page 136 of 425. [Marked] This title is on Your Bookshelf.
