The next scene is a tempestuous1 afternoon in the following month, and Fancy Day is discovered walking from her father’s home towards Mellstock.
A single vast gray cloud covered the country, from which the small rain and mist had just begun to blow down in wavy2 sheets, alternately thick and thin. The trees of the fields and plantations3 writhed4 like miserable5 men as the air wound its way swiftly among them: the lowest portions of their trunks, that had hardly ever been known to move, were visibly rocked by the fiercer gusts6, distressing7 the mind by its painful unwontedness, as when a strong man is seen to shed tears. Low-hanging boughs8 went up and down; high and erect9 boughs went to and fro; the blasts being so irregular, and divided into so many cross-currents, that neighbouring branches of the same tree swept the skies in independent motions, crossed each other, or became entangled10. Across the open spaces flew flocks of green and yellowish leaves, which, after travelling a long distance from their parent trees, reached the ground, and lay there with their under-sides upward.
As the rain and wind increased, and Fancy’s bonnet11-ribbons leapt more and more snappishly against her chin, she paused on entering Mellstock Lane to consider her latitude12
