Book excerpt: During the wet autumn of the same year, the postman passed one morning as usual into a plain street that ran through the less fashionable portion of Sandbourne, a modern coast town and watering-place not many miles from the ancient Anglebury. He knocked at the door of a flat-faced brick house, and it was opened by a slight, thoughtful young man, with his hat on, just then coming out. The postman put into his hands a book packet, addressed, 'Christopher Julian, Esq.'Christopher took the package upstairs, opened it with curiosity, and discovered within a green volume of poems, by an anonymous writer, the title-page bearing the inscription, 'Metres by E.' The book was new, though it was cut, and it appeared to have been looked into.

Book excerpt: One Scribners Monthly reviewer said of Hardy's The Hand of Ethelberta that, As in most English books, the race for a husband, with the article of true love much mentioned, but really of infinitely small account, is painfully evident in almost all the female characters. It is the story of a woman who marries into high society....

Book excerpt: The only novel from Hardy that that provides a lighter tale, The Hand of Ethelberta, gives account of the life of a woman who lifts herself to the higher classes of the society.Young Mrs. Petherwin stepped from the door of an old and well-appointed inn in a Wessex town to take a country walk. By her look and carriage she appeared to belong to that gentle order of society which has no worldly sorrow except when its jewellery gets stolen; but, as a fact not generally known, her claim to distinction was rather one of brains than of blood. She was the daughter of a gentleman who lived in a large house not his own, and began life as a baby christened Ethelberta after an infant of title who does not come into the story at all, having merely furnished Ethelberta's mother with a subject of contemplation. She became teacher in a school, was praised by examiners, admired by gentlemen, not admired by gentlewomen, was touched up with accomplishments by masters who were coaxed into painstaking by her many graces, and, entering a mansion as governess to the daughter thereof, was stealthily married by the son. He, a minor like herself, died from a chill caught during the wedding tour, and a few weeks later was followed into the grave by Sir Ralph Petherwin, his unforgiving father, who had bequeathed his wealth to his wife absolutely.These calamities were a sufficient reason to Lady Petherwin for pardoning all concerned. She took by the hand the forlorn Ethelberta-who seemed rather a detached bride than a widow-and finished her education by placing her for two or three years in a boarding-school at Bonn. Latterly she had brought the girl to England to live under her roof as daughter and companion, the condition attached being that Ethelberta was never openly to recognize her relations, for reasons which will hereafter appear. The elegant young lady, as she had a full right to be called if she cared for the definition, arrested all the local attention when she emerged into the summer-evening light with that diadem-and-sceptre bearing-many people for reasons of heredity discovering such graces only in those whose vestibules are lined with ancestral mail, forgetting that a bear may be taught to dance. While this air of hers lasted, even the inanimate objects in the street appeared to know that she was there; but from a way she had of carelessly overthrowing her dignity by versatile moods, one could not calculate upon its presence to a certainty when she was round corners or in little lanes which demanded no repression of animal spirits.

Book excerpt: During the wet autumn of the same year, the postman passed one morning as usual into a plainstreet that ran through the less fashionable portion of Sandbourne, a modern coast town andwatering-place not many miles from the ancient Anglebury. He knocked at the door of a flat-facedbrick house, and it was opened by a slight, thoughtful young man, with his hat on, just then comingout.

Thebook was new, though it was cut, and it appeared to have been looked into. The young man, afterturning it over and wondering where it came from, laid it on the table and went his way, being inhaste to fulfil his engagements for the day.In the evening, on returning home from his occupations, he sat himself down cosily to read thenewly-arrived volume. The winds of this uncertain season were snarling in the chimneys, and dropsof rain spat themselves into the fire, revealing plainly that the young man's room was not far enoughfrom the top of the house to admit of a twist in the flue, and revealing darkly a little more, if thatsocial rule-of-three inverse, the higher in lodgings the lower in pocket, were applicable here.However, the aspect of the room, though homely, was cheerful, a somewhat contradictory group offurniture suggesting that the collection consisted of waifs and strays from a former home, the grimyfaces of the old articles exercising a curious and subduing effect on the bright faces of the new. Anoval mirror of rococo workmanship, and a heavy cabinet-piano with a cornice like that of anEgyptian temple, adjoined a harmonium of yesterday, and a harp that was almost as new. Printedmusic of the last century, and manuscript music of the previous evening, lay there in such quantity asto endanger the tidiness of a retreat which was indeed only saved from a chronic state of litter by apair of hands that sometimes played, with the lightness of breezes, about the sewing-machinestanding in a remote corner-if any corner could be called remote in a room so small.
