Jude the Obscure
Authorship not stated
Your schoolmaster, Phillotson, is leaving Marygreen for Christminster, and you help tie his last box before the cart pulls away toward a city you have only heard named. Your aunt calls the ambition a family curse to avoid, but from the ridge above the village the towers still glow gold at dusk. Weeks later a parcel of Latin arrives in Phillotson's hand, and inside it, an unsigned sketch bearing your cousin Sue Bridehead's initials.
