The Jewel Casket
The Kitchen Maid
¡¡¡¡ The cathedral bell close at hand was sounding for five o'clock service. ¡¡¡¡ "I should not mind having a spin there with a fellow's arm round my waist," she said to one of the men. "But Lord, I must be getting home again-- there's a lot to do. No dancing for me!" ¡¡¡¡ When she reached home she was met at the door by Stagg, and one or two other of Jude's fellow stoneworkers. "We are just going down to the river," said the former, "to see the boat-bumping. But we've called round on our way to ask how your husband is." ¡¡¡¡ "He's sleeping nicely, thank you," said Arabella. ¡¡¡¡ "That's right. Well now, can't you give yourself half an hour's relaxation, Mrs. Fawley, and come along with us? 'Twould do you good." ¡¡¡¡ "I should like to go," said she. "I've never seen the boat-racing, and I hear it is good fun." ¡¡¡¡ "Come along!" ¡¡¡¡ "How I WISH I could!" She looked longingly down the street. "Wait a minute, then. I'll just run up and see how he is now. Father is with him, I believe; so I can most likely come."
