distance.On seeing him,Durbeyfield held up his hand,and the boy quickened his
steps and came near.

me about and call me 'boy'?You know my name as well as I know yours!"

me home.And when you've done that,go on to my house with the basket,and tell
my wife to put away that washing,because she needn't finish it,and wait till
I come home,as I've news to tell her. "
