TIME to meet the real country folk where else but down at the local Hiring farm
a total turn around for GABRIEL since the loss of his sheep, he has to go for others to work, it was quite a relief to have less sadness and gloom concerning wildstock.It was quite interesting to note the different characters of the country folk and to be given personalities instead of being portrayed simply as country folk but lives as we are all humans beings in this game of life , does not matter how low down the social scale we are!!! (lecture over)on with the story
Gabriel fails to find a job here so trys again, yes nearer to where Bathsheba lives, just pure coincidence I am sure!!but before he arrives at the quiet village (just persuming it is quiet my brother lives in a village and is full of life)of shotsfort he sees hayrick on fire and true to form puts the fire out Yeah Gabriel saves a day, this raises a few smirks how their lives seem to be entwined so much early on this tale
In another book reading at the moment COlD comfort farm their is much joviality at the way the farm names of REUBEN and Seth are used often at the expense of Hardy
Th e reading group discussed coincidences and how strange they can be if a certain person had not taken a certain path how different lives would have been!
It was quite a relief to meet the country folk after the drama of the previous chapters and brought a few welome chucklesso Hardy not so miserable
I must admit it was not that much of a shock when Bathsheba had been rescued by sturdy Oak although afew gasps were heard when she took off her veil and their she was!(SHOCK HORROR)
Their folllows a complete reversal of fortunes Gaberialno longer asking for a hand in marriage and is nnow in need of employment which is strangely offered by Bathsheba but THe modern day soap operas are full of coincidences and all in the one street!!!so although the romance seems to be over between the two in someways due to fate still very much together!
