[00:03.37] Gabriel Oak falls in love
[00:30.36]
[01:12.20] Gabriel Oak was a sensible man of good character,
[01:15.98] who had been brought up by his father as a shepherd,
[01:18.92] and then managed to save enough money
[01:21.08] to rent his own farm on Norcombe Hill,in Dorset.
[01:25.63] He was twenty-eight,a tall,well-built man,
[01:29.21] who did not seem,however,
[01:31.66] to think his appear-ance was very important.
[01:34.10]
[01:36.49] One winter morning
[01:38.19] he was in one of his fields on the side of Norcombe Hill .
[01:41.57] Looking over his gate,
[01:43.81] Gabriel could see a yellow cart,
[01:47.01] loaded with furniture and plants,
[01:49.85] coming up the road.
[01:51.89] Right on top of the pile
[01:54.03] sat a handsome young woman
[01:57.61] As Gabriel was watching,
[01:59.75] the cart stopped at the top of the hill,
[02:02.64] and the driver climbed down to go back
[02:05.57] and fetch some-thing that had fallen off.
[02:06.77]
[02:08.96] The girl sat quietly in the sunshine for a few minutes.
[02:13.38] Then she picked up a parcel lying next to her,
[02:16.90] and looked round to see if the driver was coming back.
[02:20.88] There was no sign of him.
[02:23.47] She unwrapped the parcel,
[02:25.46] and took out the mirror it con-tained.
[02:29.71] The sun shone on her lovely face and hair.
[02:33.69] Although it was December,
[02:36.08] she looked almost summery,
[02:38.92] sitting there in her bright red jacket
[02:41.56] with the fresh green plants around her.
[02:45.39] She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled,
[02:49.57] thinking that only the birds could see her.
[02:53.16] But behind the gate Gabriel Oak was watching too.
[03:00.06]
[03:00.51] ‘She must be rather vain,’he thought.
[03:03.51] ‘She doesn't need to look in that mirror at all! ’
[03:06.95]
[03:08.59] As the girl smiled and blushed at herself,
[03:11.53] she seemed to be dreaming,
[03:14.22] dreaming perhaps of men's hearts won and lost.
[03:19.70] When she heard the driver's footsteps,
[03:22.19] she packed the mirror away.
[03:25.17] The cart moved on downhill to the toll-gate.
[03:29.35] Gabriel followed on foot.
[03:31.96] As he came closer he could hear the driver arguing with the gatekeeper.
[03:36.54]
[03:38.23] ‘My mistress's niece,
[03:40.22] that's her on top of the furniture,
[03:42.86] is not going to pay you the extra twopence ,’
[03:46.56] said the driver.
[03:48.55] ‘She says she's offered you quite enough already. ’
[03:52.04]
[03:53.13] ‘Well,if she doesn't pay the toll,
[03:55.98] your mistress's niece can't pass through the gate,’
[03:59.71] replied the gatekeeper.
[04:01.40]
[04:02.65] Gabriel thought that twopence did not seem worth bothering about,
[04:07.62] so he stepped forward.
[04:09.93] ‘Here,’he said,
[04:12.03] handing the coins to the gatekeeper,
[04:14.68] ‘let the young woman pass. ’
[04:16.72]
[04:18.31] The girl in the red jacket looked carelessly down at Gabriel,
[04:22.81] and told her man to drive on,
[04:25.40] without even thanking the farmer.
[04:28.73] Gabriel and the gatekeeper watched the cart move away.
[04:33.07] ‘That's a lovely young woman,’
[04:35.88] said the gatekeeper.
[04:37.12]
[04:38.52] ‘But she has her faults,’
[04:40.51] answered Gabriel.
[04:42.40] ‘True,farmer. ’
[04:44.90] ‘And the greatest of them is what it always is with women. ’
[04:49.40] ‘Wanting to win the argument every time?Oh,you're right. ’
[04:54.79] ‘No,her great fault is that she's vain. ’
[05:01.38] A few days later,
[05:02.98] at nearly midnight on the longest night of the year,
[05:06.66] Gabriel Oak could be heard playing his flute on Nor-combe Hill.
[05:11.89] The sky was so clear and the stars so visible
[05:16.38] that the earth could almost be seen turning.
[05:20.21] In that cold,hard air
[05:21.52] the sweet notes of the flute rang out.
[05:26.46] The music came from a little hut on wheels,
[05:29.89] standing in the corner of a field.
[05:32.84] Shep-herds'huts like this are used as a shelter during the winter and spring,
[05:37.97] when shepherds have to stay out all night in the fields,
[05:41.05] looking after very young lambs.
[05:43.65]
[05:44.89] Gabriel's two hundred and fifty sheep were not yet paid for
[05:49.87] He knew that,in order to make a success of the farming business,
[05:53.20] he had to make sure they produced a large number of healthy lambs.
[05:59.18] So he was determined to spend as many nights as necessary in the fields,
[06:04.02] to save his lambs from dying of cold or hunger.
[06:08.40]
[06:09.90] The hut was warm and quite comfortable inside.
[06:13.79] There was a stove,
[06:15.13] and some bread and beer on a shelf.
[06:18.22] On each side of the hut was a round hole like a window,
[06:21.75] which could be closed with a piece of wood.
[06:24.85] These air-holes were usually kept open when the stove was burning,
[06:29.13] because too much smoke in a small,
[06:31.12] airless hut could kill the shepherd.
[06:35.51]
[06:36.70] From time to time the sound of the flute stopped,
[06:39.19] and Gabriel came out of his hut to check his sheep.
[06:43.67] Whenever he discovered a half-dead new lamb,
[06:47.60] he brought the creature into the hut.
[06:50.78] In front of the stove it soon came back to life,
[06:54.47] and then he could return it to its mother.
[06:57.41]
[06:58.71] He noticed a light further down the hill.
[07:02.34] It came from a wooden hut at the edge of a field.
[07:06.47] He walked down to it and put his eye to a hole in the wood.
[07:12.20] Inside,two women were feeding a sick cow.
[07:16.98] One of the women was middle-aged.
[07:19.42] The other was young and wore a cloak.
[07:22.26] Gabriel could not see her face.
[07:24.76]
[07:26.26] ‘ I think she'll be all right now,aunt,’
[07:28.75] said the younger woman.
[07:30.25] ‘I can come and feed her again in the morning.
[07:33.23] What a pity I lost my hat on the way here!’
[07:37.41] Just then the girl dropped her cloak,
[07:39.75] and her long hair fell on to the shoulders of her red jacket.
[07:44.03] Gabriel recognized the girl of the yellow cart and the mirror,
[07:49.18] the girl who owed him twopence.
[07:51.83]
[07:52.93] The women left the hut,
[07:55.18] and Gabriel returned to his sheep.
[07:58.23]
[08:00.17] As the sun was rising the next morning,
[08:03.06] Gabriel waited outside his hut
[08:05.14] until he saw the young woman riding up the hill.
[08:09.04] She was sitting sideways on the horse
[08:11.64] in the usual lady's position.
[08:15.08] He suddenly thought of the hat she had lost,
[08:17.96] searched for it,
[08:19.21] and found it among some leaves on the ground.
[08:23.19] He was just going to go up to her to give it back,
[08:26.27] when the girl did some-thing very strange.
[08:30.31] Riding under the low branches of a tree,
[08:33.39] she dropped backwards flat on the horse's back,
[08:37.32] with her feet on its shoulders.
[08:40.66] Then,first looking round to make sure no one was watching,
[08:45.04] she sat up straight again and pulled her dress to her knees,
[08:48.92] with her legs on either side of the horse.
[08:52.51] This was obviously easier for riding,
[08:55.30] but not very ladylike.
[08:58.18] Gabriel was surprised and amused by her behaviour.
[09:02.72] He waited until she returned from her aunt's hut,
[09:06.90] and stepped out into the path in front of her.
[09:11.38] ‘I found a hat,’he said.
[09:15.46] ‘It's mine,’she said.
[09:18.51] She put it on and smiled. ‘It flew away. ’
[09:24.04] ‘At one o'clock this morning?’
[09:25.58]
[09:27.03] ‘Well,yes. I needed my hat this morning.
[09:30.56] I had to ride to the hut in that field,
[09:33.10] where there's a sick cow belonging to my aunt. ’
[09:36.15]
[09:36.84] ‘Yes,I know. I saw you. ’
[09:40.24]
[09:41.18] ‘Where?’she asked,horrified.
[09:44.91]
[09:45.91] ‘Riding all the way up the hill,along the path,’
[09:50.59] said Gabriel,thinking of her unladylike position on the horse's back.
[09:55.57]
[09:56.87] A deep blush spread from her head to her neck.
[10:01.65] Gabriel turned sympathetically away,
[10:04.49] wondering when he dared look at her again.
[10:07.88] When he turned back,she had gone.
[10:12.22]
[10:13.26] Five mornings and evenings passed.
[10:16.35] The young woman came regularly to take care of the sick cow,
[10:20.50] but never spoke to Gabriel.
[10:23.39] He felt very sorry he had offended her so much
[10:26.83] by telling her he had seen her when she thought she was alone.
[10:31.16]
[10:32.65] Then,one freezing night,
[10:35.44] Gabriel returned,exhausted,to his hut.
[10:39.86] The warm air from the stove made him sleepy,
[10:44.16] and he forgot to open one of the air-holes before going to sleep.
[10:49.55] The next thing he knew was that the girl
[10:51.84] with the lovely face was 10 with him in the hut,
[10:54.82] holding his head in her arms.
[10:56.96]
[10:58.76] ‘Whatever is happening?’
[11:00.80] he asked,only half-conscious.
[11:03.83]
[11:04.53] ‘Nothing now,’she answered,‘
[11:07.37] but you could have died in this hut of yours. ’
[11:09.71]
[11:10.81] ‘Yes,I suppose I could,’said Gabriel.
[11:16.28] He was hoping he could stay there,close to her,
[11:19.62] for a long time He wanted to tell her so,
[11:24.05] but he knew he could not express himself well,
[11:27.34] so he stayed silent.
[11:30.03] ‘How did you find me?’
[11:32.42] he asked in the end.
[11:34.06]
[11:35.70] ‘Oh,I heard your dog scratching at the door,
[11:37.89] so I came to see what the matter was.
[11:39.98] I opened the door,
[11:41.42] and found you unconscious.
[11:44.01] It must have been the smoke from the stove. ’
[11:47.45]
[11:48.60] ‘I believe you saved my life,Miss——
[11:51.79] I don't know your name.
[11:53.03]
[11:54.43] ‘There's no need to know it.
[11:56.08] I probably won't see you again. ’
[11:57.87]
[11:59.06] ‘My name is Gabriel Oak. ’
[12:02.41]
[12:02.96] ‘Mine isn't.
[12:04.21] You sound very proud of your name. ’
[12:06.50]
[12:07.34] ‘Well,it's the only one I shall ever have. ’
[12:10.53]
[12:11.87] ‘I don't like mine. ’
[12:13.12]
[12:14.56] ‘I should think you'll soon get a new one. ’
[12:16.95]
[12:18.24] ‘Well!That's my business,Gabriel Oak. ’
[12:22.02]
[12:22.72] ‘I'm not very clever at talking,miss,
[12:26.65] but I want to thank you.
[12:29.00] Come,give me your hand!’
[12:31.40]
[12:32.74] She hesitated,then offered her hand.
[12:34.64] He took it,but held it for only a moment.
[12:41.01] ‘I'm sorry,’he said.
[12:43.70] ‘I didn't mean to let your hand go so quickly. ’
[12:47.34]
[12:47.79] ‘You may have it again then. Here it is. ’
[12:49.58]
[12:51.68] Gabriel held it longer this time.
[12:55.12] ‘How soft it is,even in winter,
[12:58.95] not rough at all! ’he said.
[13:01.94]
[13:03.83] ‘there,that's long enough,’she said,
[13:07.02] but without pulling it away.
[13:10.16] ‘But I suppose you're thinking you'd like to kiss it?
[13:13.74] You may if you want to. ’
[13:15.58]
[13:17.07] ‘I wasn't thinking any such thing,’
[13:19.57] said Gabriel,‘but—’
[13:21.02]
[13:21.41] ‘Oh no you won't!’
[13:23.11] She pulled her hand sharply away. ‘
[13:26.04] Now discover my name,’she added,
[13:30.17] laughing,and left.

[00:03.37] Gabriel Oak falls in love
[00:30.36]

[01:15.98] who had been brought up by his father as a shepherd,
[01:18.92] and then managed to save enough money
[01:21.08] to rent his own farm on Norcombe Hill, in Dorset.
[01:25.63] He was twenty eight, a tall, well built man,
[01:29.21] who did not seem, however,
[01:31.66] to think his appear ance was very important.
[01:34.10]
[01:36.49] One winter morning
[01:38.19] he was in one of his fields on the side of Norcombe Hill .
[01:41.57] Looking over his gate,
[01:43.81] Gabriel could see a yellow cart,
[01:47.01] loaded with furniture and plants,
[01:49.85] coming up the road.
[01:51.89] Right on top of the pile
[01:54.03] sat a handsome young woman
[01:57.61] As Gabriel was watching,
[01:59.75] the cart stopped at the top of the hill,
[02:02.64] and the driver climbed down to go back
[02:05.57] and fetch some thing that had fallen off.
[02:06.77]
[02:08.96] The girl sat quietly in the sunshine for a few minutes.
[02:13.38] Then she picked up a parcel lying next to her,
[02:16.90] and looked round to see if the driver was coming back.
[02:20.88] There was no sign of him.
[02:23.47] She unwrapped the parcel,
[02:25.46] and took out the mirror it contained.
[02:29.71] The sun shone on her lovely face and hair.
[02:33.69] Although it was December,
[02:36.08] she looked almost summery,
[02:38.92] sitting there in her bright red jacket
[02:41.56] with the fresh green plants around her.
[02:45.39] She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled,
[02:49.57] thinking that only the birds could see her.
[02:53.16] But behind the gate Gabriel Oak was watching too.
[03:00.06]
[03:00.51] ' She must be rather vain,' he thought.
[03:03.51] ' She doesn' t need to look in that mirror at all! '
[03:06.95]
[03:08.59] As the girl smiled and blushed at herself,
[03:11.53] she seemed to be dreaming,
[03:14.22] dreaming perhaps of men' s hearts won and lost.
[03:19.70] When she heard the driver' s footsteps,
[03:22.19] she packed the mirror away.
[03:25.17] The cart moved on downhill to the toll gate.
[03:29.35] Gabriel followed on foot.
[03:31.96] As he came closer he could hear the driver arguing with the gatekeeper.
[03:36.54]
[03:38.23] ' My mistress' s niece,
[03:40.22] that' s her on top of the furniture,
[03:42.86] is not going to pay you the extra twopence ,'
[03:46.56] said the driver.
[03:48.55] ' She says she' s offered you quite enough already. '
[03:52.04]
[03:53.13] ' Well, if she doesn' t pay the toll,
[03:55.98] your mistress' s niece can' t pass through the gate,'
[03:59.71] replied the gatekeeper.
[04:01.40]
[04:02.65] Gabriel thought that twopence did not seem worth bothering about,
[04:07.62] so he stepped forward.
[04:09.93] ' Here,' he said,
[04:12.03] handing the coins to the gatekeeper,
[04:14.68] ' let the young woman pass. '
[04:16.72]
[04:18.31] The girl in the red jacket looked carelessly down at Gabriel,
[04:22.81] and told her man to drive on,
[04:25.40] without even thanking the farmer.
[04:28.73] Gabriel and the gatekeeper watched the cart move away.
[04:33.07] ' That' s a lovely young woman,'
[04:35.88] said the gatekeeper.
[04:37.12]
[04:38.52] ' But she has her faults,'
[04:40.51] answered Gabriel.
[04:42.40] ' True, farmer. '
[04:44.90] ' And the greatest of them is what it always is with women. '
[04:49.40] ' Wanting to win the argument every time? Oh, you' re right. '
[04:54.79] ' No, her great fault is that she' s vain. '
[05:01.38] A few days later,
[05:02.98] at nearly midnight on the longest night of the year,
[05:06.66] Gabriel Oak could be heard playing his flute on Norcombe Hill.
[05:11.89] The sky was so clear and the stars so visible
[05:16.38] that the earth could almost be seen turning.
[05:20.21] In that cold, hard air
[05:21.52] the sweet notes of the flute rang out.
[05:26.46] The music came from a little hut on wheels,
[05:29.89] standing in the corner of a field.
[05:32.84] Shep herds' huts like this are used as a shelter during the winter and spring,
[05:37.97] when shepherds have to stay out all night in the fields,
[05:41.05] looking after very young lambs.
[05:43.65]
[05:44.89] Gabriel' s two hundred and fifty sheep were not yet paid for
[05:49.87] He knew that, in order to make a success of the farming business,
[05:53.20] he had to make sure they produced a large number of healthy lambs.
[05:59.18] So he was determined to spend as many nights as necessary in the fields,
[06:04.02] to save his lambs from dying of cold or hunger.
[06:08.40]
[06:09.90] The hut was warm and quite comfortable inside.
[06:13.79] There was a stove,
[06:15.13] and some bread and beer on a shelf.
[06:18.22] On each side of the hut was a round hole like a window,
[06:21.75] which could be closed with a piece of wood.
[06:24.85] These air holes were usually kept open when the stove was burning,
[06:29.13] because too much smoke in a small,
[06:31.12] airless hut could kill the shepherd.
[06:35.51]
[06:36.70] From time to time the sound of the flute stopped,
[06:39.19] and Gabriel came out of his hut to check his sheep.
[06:43.67] Whenever he discovered a halfdead new lamb,
[06:47.60] he brought the creature into the hut.
[06:50.78] In front of the stove it soon came back to life,
[06:54.47] and then he could return it to its mother.
[06:57.41]
[06:58.71] He noticed a light further down the hill.
[07:02.34] It came from a wooden hut at the edge of a field.
[07:06.47] He walked down to it and put his eye to a hole in the wood.
[07:12.20] Inside, two women were feeding a sick cow.
[07:16.98] One of the women was middle aged.
[07:19.42] The other was young and wore a cloak.
[07:22.26] Gabriel could not see her face.
[07:24.76]
[07:26.26] ' I think she' ll be all right now, aunt,'
[07:28.75] said the younger woman.
[07:30.25] ' I can come and feed her again in the morning.
[07:33.23] What a pity I lost my hat on the way here!'
[07:37.41] Just then the girl dropped her cloak,
[07:39.75] and her long hair fell on to the shoulders of her red jacket.
[07:44.03] Gabriel recognized the girl of the yellow cart and the mirror,
[07:49.18] the girl who owed him twopence.
[07:51.83]
[07:52.93] The women left the hut,
[07:55.18] and Gabriel returned to his sheep.
[07:58.23]
[08:00.17] As the sun was rising the next morning,
[08:03.06] Gabriel waited outside his hut
[08:05.14] until he saw the young woman riding up the hill.
[08:09.04] She was sitting sideways on the horse
[08:11.64] in the usual lady' s position.
[08:15.08] He suddenly thought of the hat she had lost,
[08:17.96] searched for it,
[08:19.21] and found it among some leaves on the ground.
[08:23.19] He was just going to go up to her to give it back,
[08:26.27] when the girl did something very strange.
[08:30.31] Riding under the low branches of a tree,
[08:33.39] she dropped backwards flat on the horse' s back,
[08:37.32] with her feet on its shoulders.
[08:40.66] Then, first looking round to make sure no one was watching,
[08:45.04] she sat up straight again and pulled her dress to her knees,
[08:48.92] with her legs on either side of the horse.
[08:52.51] This was obviously easier for riding,
[08:55.30] but not very ladylike.
[08:58.18] Gabriel was surprised and amused by her behaviour.
[09:02.72] He waited until she returned from her aunt' s hut,
[09:06.90] and stepped out into the path in front of her.
[09:11.38] ' I found a hat,' he said.
[09:15.46] ' It' s mine,' she said.
[09:18.51] She put it on and smiled. ' It flew away. '
[09:24.04] ' At one o' clock this morning?'
[09:25.58]
[09:27.03] ' Well, yes. I needed my hat this morning.
[09:30.56] I had to ride to the hut in that field,
[09:33.10] where there' s a sick cow belonging to my aunt. '
[09:36.15]
[09:36.84] ' Yes, I know. I saw you. '
[09:40.24]
[09:41.18] ' Where?' she asked, horrified.
[09:44.91]
[09:45.91] ' Riding all the way up the hill, along the path,'
[09:50.59] said Gabriel, thinking of her unladylike position on the horse' s back.
[09:55.57]
[09:56.87] A deep blush spread from her head to her neck.
[10:01.65] Gabriel turned sympathetically away,
[10:04.49] wondering when he dared look at her again.
[10:07.88] When he turned back, she had gone.
[10:12.22]
[10:13.26] Five mornings and evenings passed.
[10:16.35] The young woman came regularly to take care of the sick cow,
[10:20.50] but never spoke to Gabriel.
[10:23.39] He felt very sorry he had offended her so much
[10:26.83] by telling her he had seen her when she thought she was alone.
[10:31.16]
[10:32.65] Then, one freezing night,
[10:35.44] Gabriel returned, exhausted, to his hut.
[10:39.86] The warm air from the stove made him sleepy,
[10:44.16] and he forgot to open one of the airholes before going to sleep.
[10:49.55] The next thing he knew was that the girl
[10:51.84] with the lovely face was 10 with him in the hut,
[10:54.82] holding his head in her arms.
[10:56.96]
[10:58.76] ' Whatever is happening?'
[11:00.80] he asked, only half conscious.
[11:03.83]
[11:04.53] ' Nothing now,' she answered,'
[11:07.37] but you could have died in this hut of yours. '
[11:09.71]
[11:10.81] ' Yes, I suppose I could,' said Gabriel.
[11:16.28] He was hoping he could stay there, close to her,
[11:19.62] for a long time He wanted to tell her so,
[11:24.05] but he knew he could not express himself well,
[11:27.34] so he stayed silent.
[11:30.03] ' How did you find me?'
[11:32.42] he asked in the end.
[11:34.06]
[11:35.70] ' Oh, I heard your dog scratching at the door,
[11:37.89] so I came to see what the matter was.
[11:39.98] I opened the door,
[11:41.42] and found you unconscious.
[11:44.01] It must have been the smoke from the stove. '
[11:47.45]
[11:48.60] ' I believe you saved my life, Miss
[11:51.79] I don' t know your name.
[11:53.03]
[11:54.43] ' There' s no need to know it.
[11:56.08] I probably won' t see you again. '
[11:57.87]
[11:59.06] ' My name is Gabriel Oak. '
[12:02.41]
[12:02.96] ' Mine isn' t.
[12:04.21] You sound very proud of your name. '
[12:06.50]
[12:07.34] ' Well, it' s the only one I shall ever have. '
[12:10.53]
[12:11.87] ' I don' t like mine. '
[12:13.12]
[12:14.56] ' I should think you' ll soon get a new one. '
[12:16.95]
[12:18.24] ' Well! That' s my business, Gabriel Oak. '
[12:22.02]
[12:22.72] ' I' m not very clever at talking, miss,
[12:26.65] but I want to thank you.
[12:29.00] Come, give me your hand!'
[12:31.40]
[12:32.74] She hesitated, then offered her hand.
[12:34.64] He took it, but held it for only a moment.
[12:41.01] ' I' m sorry,' he said.
[12:43.70] ' I didn' t mean to let your hand go so quickly. '
[12:47.34]
[12:47.79] ' You may have it again then. Here it is. '
[12:49.58]
[12:51.68] Gabriel held it longer this time.
[12:55.12] ' How soft it is, even in winter,
[12:58.95] not rough at all! ' he said.
[13:01.94]
[13:03.83] ' there, that' s long enough,' she said,
[13:07.02] but without pulling it away.
[13:10.16] ' But I suppose you' re thinking you' d like to kiss it?
[13:13.74] You may if you want to. '
[13:15.58]
[13:17.07] ' I wasn' t thinking any such thing,'
[13:19.57] said Gabriel,' but'
[13:21.02]
[13:21.41] ' Oh no you won' t!'
[13:23.11] She pulled her hand sharply away. '
[13:26.04] Now discover my name,' she added,
[13:30.17] laughing, and left.
