Daniel A. Wehrschmidt (1861-1932): Biographical Materials
Eight Illustrations for Hardy's Tess of the Durbervilles (1891)
- In stagnant blackness they waited through an interval which seemed endless
- Clare came down from the landing above in his shirt-sleeves, and put his arms across the stair-way
- As he passed them he kissed them in succession where they stood, saying 'Good-bye' to each as he did so
- "I don't know about ghosts," she was saying
- His father and mother were both in the drawing room
- He laid his hand on her shoulder, "Tess, Tess, I was on the way to deliverance till I saw you again," he said.
- "You be the woman they call Mrs. Durbeyfield, I reckon?" he said to Tess's mother, who had remounted.
- Something seemed to move on the verge of the dip eastward.
