Gabriel and Coggan were walking to the hayfields
Through the whole of the long night that followed,Boldwood's dark figure could be seen walking over the hills of Weatherbury like a ghost.
Just before the clock struck five the next morning,Gabriel and Coggan were walking to the hayfields past their mistress's house,when they saw a surprising sight. Bathsheba's bedroom window was open,and looking out of it was a hand-some man,with his red jacket undone. It was Sergeant Troy.
‘She's married him!’whispered Coggan. Gabriel said nothing,but he felt so ill
provide that he had to rest on the gate for a moment. He thought with pity of her future,as he knew her marriage to Troy could not be happy for long.
