When Tess is wandering through the bleak, stony uplands of South Wessex in quest of employment, and, affrighted by the rudeness of a way- farer, has rushed into a plantation to find a secure resting- place for the night, she is disturbed in the intervals of her i 12 77/c Theology of Modern Fiction fitful slumber by noises in the trees overhead. There is a faint fluttering of wings in the trees, a sense of palpitating restlessness amongst the branches, followed by successive thuds upon the earth.... Pheasants wounded by thoughtless sportsmen have made their refuge there, some of which have dropped helpless upon the sod " with their rich plum- age dabbled in blood. Her first care -was to put the birds out of their torture, and then to reflect that her own plight was after all less sad than that of these poor hunted and half-dead victims of an Englishman's passion for sport. " The dog who so sagaciously supports the poor betrayed girl, Fanny Robin, in her last crawl to the Casterbridge Workhouse, and about whom she makes solicitous enquiries despite her prostration, is stoned away from the door by the porter.
