She stepped in without looking behind; he descended, withdrew the ladder, and went away.

Alone in her chamber, Betty flung herself upon her face on the bed, and burst into shaking sobs.  Yet she would not admit to herself that her lover’s conduct was unreasonable; only that her rash act of the previous week had been wrong.  No one had heard her enter, and she was too worn out, in body and mind, to think or care about medical aid.  In an hour or so she felt yet more unwell, positively ill; and nobody coming to her at the usual bedtime, she looked towards the door.  Marks of the lock having been forced were visible, and this made her chary of summoning a servant.  She opened the door cautiously and sallied forth downstairs.

Μα τι λεξιλόγιο! Πανέμορφη η πένα του Τόμας Χάρντι! Το πρώτο βιβλίο του που διαβάζω και το απόλαυσα. Μην περιμένετε γλυκανάλατες ιστοριούλες να συναντήσετε, κάθε άλλο θα έλεγα.

Me encanta Hardy!!!

Este libro tiene de todo, un poco de comedia y, sobre todo, esos giros dramáticos tan de Hardy. Cada relato hace referencia a una dama, cada cual más particular.
