Track length4:47
Chapter 3
Track length7:28
'I wanted my hat this morning,' she went on.

Track length7:52
Chapter 8
Track length9:00
Having at this moment reached the end of a wistful gaze into mid-air…
Track length8:03
'We d' know little of her – nothing.'
Track length6:01
'He got so much better, that he was quite godly in his later years…'
Track length6:06
'Ye be a very old aged person, malter,' attested Jan Coggan…
Track length5:52
A few minutes later, when the remaining ones were on their legs…
Track length6:38

Track length5:59
The door opened, and a deep voice said – 'Is Miss Everdene at home?'
Track length6:35
Chapter 10
Track length5:23
Joseph Poorgrass, in the background twitched…
Track length3:46

Track length4:09
Chapter 11
Track length4:52
At this time some words were spoken aloud…
Track length6:59
Chapter 12
Track length3:41
Strange to say of a woman in full bloom and vigor…
Track length4:35
The information was put in this form…
Track length2:37
Chapter 13
Track length5:41
'What fun it would be to send it to the stupid old Boldwood…'
Track length3:08

Track length7:03
Boldwood was listlessly noting how the frost had hardened…
Track length2:33
Chapter 15
Track length5:34
'I wonder what a farmer-woman can want with a harpsichord…'
Track length2:41
'We've no lambing-hut here, as I used to have at Norcombe,'…
Track length5:51

Boldwood came close and bade her good morning…
Track length3:43

Track length5:03
Chapter 20
Track length4:08
Cain departed, and Bathsheba took the handle.
Track length5:06
In an instant Bathsheba's face coloured…
Track length3:35
Chapter 21
Track length5:22
One of the ewes here contracted its muscles horribly…
Track length7:54
Chapter 22
Track length5:57
Here the shearers knelt, the sun slanting in…
Track length6:20
But heartless circumstance could not leave entire Gabriel's happiness…
Track length4:30
'That means matrimony,' said Temperance Miller…
Track length7:32
Chapter 23
Track length6:23
The sun went down in an ochreous mist…
Track length5:33
At this time of departure, when nothing more was visible…
Track length3:04
Chapter 24
Track length5:51
'I'll unfasten you in one moment, miss,' he said…
Track length8:02
Chapter 25
Track length8:04
Chapter 26

Track length7:21
Chapter 29
Track length7:04
The other day they said you were trifling with him…
Track length4:43

Track length4:37
Chapter 31
Track length5:49
'I am beyond myself about this, and am mad,' he said.
Track length4:48
'I did not take you up – surely I did not!' she answered…
Track length5:44
'Then curse him; and curse him!' said Boldwood…
Track length5:01
Chapter 32
Track length5:50
'What's the matter?' said Gabriel.
Track length5:38
'We thought – ' began Gabriel.
Track length6:23
Chapter 33
Track length5:35
'For my poor self, I always say "please God" afore I do anything,'…
Track length5:05
'Miss Everdene and the soldier were walking about together, you say?'
Track length5:50
Chapter 34
Track length8:21
In making this statement Boldwood's voice revealed…
Track length5:18
'Shall I tell her I have come to give her up and cannot marry her?'
Track length8:07
Chapter 35
Track length5:40
'Oh, Coggan,' said Troy, as if inspired by a recollection…
Track length3:20
Chapter 36
Track length3:58
So the dance began.
Track length3:05
Bathsheba indignantly left the barn…
Track length3:29
This complication of weathers being uncommon…
Track length3:33
Gabriel glanced hopelessly at the group…
Track length5:36
Chapter 37
Track length6:16
'Hold on!' said Gabriel, taking the sheaf from her shoulder…
Track length6:03
'I did at last – not at first,' he answered, somewhat surprised…
Track length3:53
Chapter 38
Track length5:19
It is difficult to describe the intensely dramatic effect…

Chapter 39
Track length5:34
The woman, on hearing him speak, quickly looked up…
Track length3:11
Chapter 40
Track length4:39
The crutches answered well.
Track length5:10
Never was ingenuity exercised so sorely…
Track length4:47
On this much-desired spot outside the town…
Track length2:41
Chapter 41
Track length3:50
She gave a sigh of resignation.
Track length4:13
'Until to-day, when I took it from a drawer…'
Track length4:31
She saw coming up the road a man like Mr Boldwood.
Track length5:08
She turned herself away from him…
Track length4:08
Chapter 42
Track length3:43
The air was as an eye suddenly struck blind.
Track length6:08
'Well, I must be on again,' said Poorgrass.
Track length6:10
Coggan looked up indefinitely at Oak…
Track length6:14
Gabriel had his reasons for thinking the latter…
Track length3:37
Chapter 43
Track length5:45
She suddenly felt a longing desire to speak to some one…
Track length6:53
'Oh-h-h!' she said, and the silent room added length to her moan.
Track length6:08
So still he remained that he could be imagined…
Track length6:28
Chapter 44
Track length4:10
The fungi grew in all manner of positions from rotting leaves…
Track length5:29
Liddy vanished, and at the end of twenty minutes returned…
Track length6:39
Chapter 45
Track length4:01
Within were lying about stones of all sizes and designs…
Track length6:16
Chapter 46
Track length2:30
The lower row of teeth was quite washed away…
Track length6:05
Sanguine by nature, Troy had a power of eluding grief…
Track length5:53
Not being able to read, think, or work, Bathsheba asked Liddy to stay…
Track length4:24
Chapter 47
Track length6:53
Chapter 48
Track length6:36
Being hardly in a condition to drive home as she had driven to town…
Track length5:24
Chapter 49
Track length7:08
To the eyes of the middle-aged, Bathsheba was perhaps…
Track length5:25
Chapter 50
Track length6:23
'That's the great ruffen pushing me!' screamed a woman…
Track length6:11
And now the mild autumn sun got lower…
Track length5:32
She looked so charming and fair that his cool mood…
Track length6:26
The largest refreshment booth in the fair…
Track length4:57
'Excuse me, ma'am,' said Pennyways…
Track length4:22
Chapter 51
Track length5:22
'I, too, am very sorry,' she said, and then checked herself.
Track length5:34
Bathsheba was in a very peculiar state of mind…
Track length4:07
'Well, your want of love seems to me the one thing…'
Track length4:10
Chapter 52
Track length4:07
III: Boldwood was dressing also at this hour.
Track length4:51
IV: Troy was sitting in a corner of The White Hart tavern…
Track length4:15
V: 'How do I look to-night, Liddy?' said Bathsheba…
Track length5:30
VII: 'How does this cover me?' said Troy to Pennyways…
Track length3:37
Chapter 53
Track length4:09
'I hope to God she’ll come, or this night will be nothing but misery…'
Track length5:55
So the men entered the hall, which was the room selected…
Track length4:34
The trimmings of her dress, as they quivered against the light…
Track length4:27
'Do you know what they mean?' the farmer asked Bathsheba…
Track length3:13
Nevertheless, she did not move.
Track length2:49
Chapter 54
Track length5:55
Mr. Aldritch drove at once back again up the hill to Bathsheba's
Track length3:42
Chapter 55
Track length4:25
These somewhat pathetic evidences…
Track length5:51
Chapter 56
Track length6:26
'And have they done it as you wished?' said Oak.
Track length4:20
On examining her heart it appeared beyond measure strange…
Track length4:48
'I am not going to emigrate, you know…'
