A perplexing sight

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Illustration for Chapter 5 of A Pair of Blue Eyes by Thomas Hardy, from the serial edition in Tinsley's Magazine. "Now she saw a perplexing sight .... Immediately opposite to her ....was a large broad window, having its blind drawn down, and illuminated by a light in the room it screened. On the blind was a shadow from somebody close inside it—a person in profile. The profile was unmistakably that of Stephen. It was just possible to see that his arms were uplifted, and that his hands held an article of some kind. Then another shadow appeared—also in profile—and came close to him. This was the shadow of a woman. She turned her back towards Stephen: he lifted and held out what now proved to be a shawl or mantle—placed it carefully—so carefully—round the lady; disappeared; reappeared in her front—fastened the mantle. Did he then kiss her? Surely not. Yet the motion might have been a kiss. Then both shadows swelled to colossal dimensions—grew distorted—vanished."
