Tess--Chapter 13

孙博

13. What “awful secret” did Tess tell Clare when they rode to the station? Why didn’t she tell him the truth about her past? What was Angel’s guilty secret that he confessed to Tess on their wedding night?

美文赏欣：They spent all their time together, as country people do once they are engaged. In the wonderful autumn afternoons they walked by streams, crossing on little wooden bridges. They saw tiny blue fogs in the shadows of trees and hedges, and at the same time bright sunshine in the fields. The sun was so near the ground that the shadows of Clare and Tess stretched a quarter of a mile ahead of them, like two long pointing fingers. When Clare talked to Tess of their future, and the farm they would have abroad, she could hardly believe that she would be going through the world by his side. Her feeling for him was now the breath and life of Tess’s being. It made her forget her past sorrows, but she knew they were waiting like wolves for their moment to attack.

  ①'And there is something unusual about me. I... I am not a Durbeyfield, but a d'Urberville. I'm a descendant of the same family who owned that house we passed.'②She had not told him. At the last moment she had not been brave enough.③'Well, wait a minute. You know how much I believe in goodness and purity. But I myself, when I was in London years ago, did wrong with a woman I hardly knew. It lasted two days. I came home and I have never done anything like it since. Do you forgive me?'
