A Generous Love

Two years. It had been two years since i had last spoken to her. I have seen her- been watching over her and keeping an eye out for her. "On this occasion Venn arrived on Egdon Heath only to cross to the other side...yet he suddenly began to feel himself drifting into the old track of manoeuvring on Thomasin's account." (4.4.268) But when i heard her following me that day- and her saying she needed my help, i knew something was terribly wrong. I feel terrible that Damon Wildeve is not treating Thomasin the way she deserves. Sneaking around with another woman, the marriage license failure, it's not right. But i just want her to be happy. If Damon is the one she wants, i will put her needs before my own heart. I will do anything in my power to help her be happy with Damon. I have heard some say "the reddleman's love was generous." (1.9.85) I must talk to Eustacia, the other woman, and convince her to let Thomasin be happy with Damon. If only i could be with her...
