‘Is it when we are going to die，Angel，or is it when we have committed a crime？’
　　‘Now，Tess！’He kissed her．But she had no energy left． She was now Mrs Angel Clare，but wasn't she really Mrs Alexander d’Urberville？
　　Later that afternoon they left the dairy．All the dairy people watched them leave，and Clare kissed the dairymaids goodbye． As he was thanking the dairyman，a cock crowed just in front of him．

When Tess arrived home the following afternoon a letter had already been received by her mother．It appeared to come from Mrs d’Urberville，and offered Tess work looking after chickens． Joan Durbeyfield was delighted．
　　‘It's just a way of getting you there without raising your hopes．She's going to recognize you as family，I'm sure of it．’

大家是否已经和我一样在期待澳大利亚印象派画展《橡树与阳光》了呢? 4月2日将会如期开幕，可以提前订票约起来拉~https://t.cn/A6cZf1wZ

今日附上旅澳英国女画家埃塞尔·卡里克（Ethel Carrick）的画陪你度过工作日，她的作品生动明快、用色大胆，展现出了画家本人强烈的个性和风格。卡里克最初是一位印象派的户外自然派画家，但很快就转向了一种更为后印象派的风格，这种风格的特点是更为厚重的构图和更为鲜明的色彩对比。
