Quotation:
[VIII, 1877, June 29] Hardy and Emma's servant "crept downstairs, went out, and on looking from the back window of our bedroom I saw her come from the outhouse with a man. She appeared to have only her night-gown on and something round her shoulders ... He had evidently often stayed in the house."She remained quiet till between four and five, when she got out of the dining room window and vanished." June 30. About one o'clock went to her father's cottage ... She had not been home. I remembered that she had dressed up in her best clothes, and she probably has gone to Stalbridge to her lover".
