entirely; he betrayed himself always upon his own

responsibility。 He permitted no question about himself。 He was

irrevocable in his isolation。

So Ursula thought him wonderful; he was so finely

constituted; and so distinct; self…contained; self…supporting。

This; she said to herself; was a gentleman; he had a nature like

fate; the nature of an aristocrat。

She laid hold of him at once for her dreams。 Here was one

such as those Sons of God who saw the daughters of men; that

they were fair。 He was no son of Adam。 Adam was servile。 Had not

Adam been driven cringing out of his native place; had not the

human race been a beggar ever since; seeking its own being? But

Anton Skrebensky could not beg。 He was in possession of himself;

of that; and no more。 Other people could not really give him

anything nor take anything from him。 His soul stood alone。

She knew that her mother and father acknowledged him。 The

house was changed。 There had been a visit paid to the house。

Once three angels stood in Abrahams doorway; and greeted him;

and stayed and ate with him; leaving his household enriched for

ever when they went。

The next day she went down to the Marsh according to

invitation。 The two men were not e home。 Then; looking

through the window; she saw the dogcart drive up; and Skrebensky

leapt down。 She saw him draw himself together; jump; laugh to

her uncle; who was driving; then e towards her to the house。

He was so spontaneous and revealed in his movements。 He was

isolated within his own clear; fine atmosphere; and as still as

if fated。

His resting in his own fate gave him an appearance of

indolence; almost of languor: he made no exuberant movement。

When he sat down; he seemed to go loose; languid。

〃We are a little late;〃 he said。

〃Where have you been?〃

〃We went to Derby to see a friend of my fathers。〃

〃Who?〃

It was an adventure to her to put direct questions and get

plain answers。 She knew she might do it with this man。

〃Why; he is a clergyman too……he is my guardian……one

of them。〃
