Gabriel. He felt very sorry he had offended her so much by telling her he had seen her when she thought she was alone.
Then，one freezing night，Gabriel returned，exhausted，to his hut. The warm air from the stove made him sleepy，and he forgot to open one of the air-holes before going to sleep. The next thing he knew was that the girl with the lovely face was 10 with him in the hut，holding his head in her arms.
‘Whatever is happening？’he asked，only half－conscious.
‘Nothing now，’she answered，‘but you could have died in this hut of yours. ’
‘Yes，I suppose I could，’said Gabriel. He was hoping he could stay there，close to her, for a long time He wanted to tell her so，but he knew he could not express himself well，so he stayed silent. ‘How did you find me？’he asked in the end.
‘Oh，I heard your dog scratching at the door，so I came to see what the matter was. I opened the door，and found you unconscious. It must have been the smoke from the stove. ’
‘I believe you saved my life，Miss——I don't know your name.
‘There's no need to know it. I probably won't see you again. ’
‘My name is Gabriel Oak. ’
‘Mine isn't. You sound very proud of your name. ’
‘Well，it's the only one I shall ever have. ’
‘I don't like mine. ’
‘I should think you'll soon get a new one. ’
‘Well！That's my business，Gabriel Oak. ’
‘I'm not very clever at talking，miss，but I want to thank you. Come，give me your hand！’
She hesitated，then offered her hand. He took it，but held it for only a moment. ‘I'm sorry，’he said. ‘I didn't mean to let your hand go so quickly. ’
‘You may have it again then. Here it is. ’
Gabriel held it longer this time. ‘How soft it is，even in winter，not rough at all! ’he said.
‘there，that's long enough，’she said，but without pulling it away. ‘But I suppose you're thinking you'd like to kiss it？You may if you want to. ’
‘I wasn't thinking any such thing，’said Gabriel，‘but—’
‘Oh no you won't！’She pulled her hand sharply away. ‘Now discover my name，’she added，laughing，and left.
■ 1 盖伯瑞尔·奥克在恋爱
盖伯瑞尔·奥克有头脑，性格好，他的父亲把他带大成为一个牧羊人。以后他设法攒足了钱在多塞特的诺科姆租下自己的农场。他28岁，身材高大魁梧，不过他好像并不认为自己的外表很重要。
一个冬日的早晨，他正在诺科姆山边的一块地里。越过大门，盖伯瑞尔能够看到一辆黄色的装满家具和花木的马车朝路这边驶来。在那一堆东西的顶上坐着一位面容姣好的年轻女人。当盖伯瑞尔正盯着看时，马车在山顶停了下来。车夫爬下马车，回去拣掉了的东西。
姑娘在太阳下静静地坐了几分钟，然后她拿起身边的一个包袱，四下看看车夫是否回来了。没有车夫的影子。她打开包袱，从里面拿出镜子。太阳照在她漂亮的脸上和头发上。身着红色上衣坐在那里，被鲜绿的花木簇拥着，虽然是在12月，看上去她像在夏日。她看着镜子里的自己笑了，以为只有鸟会看到。但是在大门后边盖伯瑞尔也正在看着。
“她一定很虚荣，”他想，“她根本不需要照镜子！”
当姑娘看到镜子里的自己笑着羞红了脸时，她似乎在做梦，也许幻想着赢得的和失去的男人心。当听到车夫的脚步声时，她收起了镜子。马车继续向山下的路卡驶去。盖伯瑞尔徒步跟随着。当他走近时，他听到车夫在和守卡人争吵。
“我的女主人的侄女就坐在家具上，不会再给你两便士，”车夫说。“她说她给你的钱已足够了。”
“好吧，如果你的女主人的侄女不付过路钱，她就不能从路卡通过，”守卡人回答。
