The Return of the Native
Authorship not stated
You are Eustacia Vye, burning a bonfire on Mistover Knap bright enough to answer a signal from Damon Wildeve, who is engaged to another woman. Your grandfather Captain Vye disapproves, the boy Johnny Nunsuch feeds the flames and carries word up from the valley, and talk reaches you that Clym Yeobright is coming home to Egdon from Paris. Wildeve's own wedding has just fallen through, and he comes to find you at midnight the moment carriage wheels sound on the northern road.
