Return of the Native Book 2 Chapter 3

In which Eustacia, stirred by a chance nocturnal encounter with the Yeobrights and the enchanting voice of their son, finds herself enraptured by a radiant dream that stirs a new and bewildering passion within her heart. Her days thence are marked by restless wanderings on the heath, caught between hope and resignation, as she teeters on the verge of a profound and transformative fancy.
