were heard from the direction of the village. 'What's that?' said
Durbeyfield. 'Not on account o' I?'

As the boy departs with the basket, the notes of a brass band float from the village, stirring Durbeyfield's curiosity. His question, "Not on account o' I?" reveals a touch of self-importance and perhaps a hope that the occasion holds significance for him. The contrast between the boy's humble errand and the festive sounds of the band heightens the anticipation and mystery surrounding the scene.
