Bathsheba never thought twice and responded no she felt that Gabrielle was rushing hearing that Gabriel's sparkling eyes turned lonely his ego got hurt after being rejected he immediately bid goodbye and left the house he felt humiliated by a lady Mr Oak walked so fast without looking back Bathsheba on the other hand got to her senses and realized how she had hurt the man she felt guilt inside her and was bothered by it Bathsheba decided to follow Gabrielle to tell him something outside Mr Oak had already walked far bathshebber ran to get near him she shouted to call his attention Gabriel heard her and stopped walking there Bathsheba told the man that rejecting his proposal doesn't mean she wouldn't marry him she reasoned out that she still needed more time to think about it Gabrielle was glad to hear that and became hopeful to make Bathsheba more interested in accepting his proposal he proudly recited all his properties which included 100 acres of land and a herd of 200 sheep he also promised the lady he could buy her a piano if she wanted to bathshebaghast for air as she hears the assets of Mr Oak in case she would marry him seeing how her face looked delighted Mr Oak continued and added that he badly wanted to build a family with her planning to have two kids Bathsheba had a change of facial expression she told the man that she didn't want a husband to be a man's property Bathsheba told Mr Oak that she is willing to be a bride at a wedding but doesn't want a husband after listening to that Gabrielle frankly told Bathsheba that her mindset was stupid insulted the lady told the man to better get off from her and proudly told him she was more educated than him Mr Oak just smiled at the lady in bid goodbye while Gabriel was soundly asleep his dog woke him up his untrainable sheepdog jumped into the Sheep's fence and startled the animals the herd of sheep was so afraid that they desperately wanted to move out from the fence with that the fence broke and all of the sheep escaped Gabriel hurdley went outside with his rifle to see what was going on the flock of sheep was gone Gabriel ran as fast as he could and saw the Sheep standing near the cliff some already jumped and got eliminated by the sharp rocks below Gabriel shouted and went near them but he was too late all of the sheep fell off the cliff and died Gabriel shed tears his body became weak and trembled he just sat on the ground punching it hard regretting everything he lost in just a snap the next day Mrs Hurst received a letter and joyfully relayed its message to Bathsheba the lady inherits her uncle's farm this includes a large agricultural property and an old Manor House delighted Bathsheba was in tears hugging her aunt tightly the lady immediately packed up her things to live separately from her aunt meanwhile Gabriel suffered so much after he lost his sheep he also became jobless after that he roamed to the city to find one there a fine wage was offered for the job of a queen's Soldier one of the recruiters saw his potential because of his manly figure but Gabrielle was not interested and returned to the countryside it was early morning and poor Gabriel started his day early to look for a job a little while he saw a commotion in a barn the farmers rattled some ran away While others tried to put out the fire Gabriel went in to help he immediately LED in putting out the fire Mr Oak targeted to save the barn from burning because the farmer's production is kept there seeing that a small part of the roof is still burning he wet all his clothes and grabbed a ladder he climbed to the roof with a tool to damage the roof and stop the fire Gabriel successfully stopped the fire unexplainable happiness to help was felt by Mr Oak after after the adrenaline rush Gabriel felt his body hurt regardless he went to the sink to clean himself and his bruises warning came and the farm owner arrived to check on the damages brought by the incident she was Bathsheba Bathsheba was looking for the heroic man who saved her Farm she was startled that a familiar guy was pointed by the farmer Gabriel Oak the lady expressed her gratitude toward Mr Oak and offered him a job at the farm she also told the man she felt after hearing that he had lost all his sheep Gabriel gladly agreed to her offer to work as a Shepherd payday came and Bathsheba led the distribution of her workers wages there she fired Mr Pennywise who went missing during the fire incident batsheba told the man that he was not useful anymore because he was so irresponsible at times he was most needed Mr Pennywise is a loyal farmer of bathsheba's Uncle and was part of the Farm's success Gabriel was teary-eyed in the room as he witnessed how Bathsheba fired her employee Gabriel knows the feeling of losing a job and he deeply sympathizes with the farmer on that same day the heroic Mr Oak was introduced to the employees and Bathsheba introduced herself as a farm mistress she also warned everyone never to belittle a woman like her taking charge after orienting everyone to restore the partly burned Farm Bathsheba ordered them to continue working all went well for bathsheb after inheriting her uncle's farm with her maid companion lady Bathsheba confidently carries a small bag carrying a sample of harvested grain to a market she was a head turner at the event where buyers and sellers of grains metatrade minutes pass by but no one went near bathsheva's sample because of that she called farmer Stone's attention a buyer of his uncle's grains when he was alive Bathsheba introduced herself and greeted the man with kind words it was effective because farmer Stone inspected her sample and got interested in purchasing it with that Bathsheba told the man that it cost five pounds however farmer Stone bid for a lower price which irritated Bathsheba the lady ignored him and traded for other buyers for a reasonable price the people there including farmer Stone noticed how Bathsheba was intimidating even on her first time treating she never let herself be fooled by the wise buyers around her after being ignored farmer Stone immediately told the lady that he had already agreed with bathsheba's price Mr Stone won the bidding and successfully bought bathsheba's grains at the church Bathsheba glanced at a handsome Bachelor much older than her age he is William Baldwin famously recognized as a prosperous man Liddy noticed her and told the lady how rich and handsome he was Bathsheba got curious and eagerly listened to her maid companion while talking about men Bathsheba opened up to the lady that she once rejected a man who proposed to her the man that she would instead liked and love the next day Bathsheba was shooting a bird when William boldwood approached her he just lives in the neighborhood but was riding a horse Bathsheba introduced herself as farmer everdeen's niece they talked for a while after that the bachelor left leaving Bathsheba smiling nearby the chimney Liddy and Bathsheba were busy arranging papers there Liddy recited a corny Valentine's card to Bathsheba the maiden teased the lady about sending one to Mr boldwood the next day while working in his office boldwood received a letter but without a sender's name it was a Valentine's card containing a famous love poem while Bathsheba doesn't take love seriously Fanny Robin her uncle's previous employee is about to marry the man she's madly in love with Sergeant Francis Troy or Frank for short the soldier arrived early at the church waiting for his bride meanwhile Ms Robin walks in a gray dress with her hair crowned with beautiful flowers all are set in the church including the priest but no bride appears Troy tells the priest that he will wait until Fanny Robin arrives the beautiful Maiden finally arrived at the church she opened the door but was shocked that another wedding was held in the church Fanny Robin cried thinking that the soldier had canceled their wedding meanwhile in another church where Sergeant Troy bravely stood in his uniform he felt tired as hours passed by but no bride came Troy shed tears trembling as he leaves the church the two misunderstood the exact Church where the wedding would be held in fine weather everyone on bathsheba's Farm woke up early to start the day they are working enthusiastically especially Gabrielle the new Shepherd of the farm Bathsheba was there and saw Mr Oak bathing the Sheep she smiles as she watches Gabriel teasing her co-workers Bathsheba was in a good mood that Gabrielle was able to invite her to join bathing the flock of sheep the people cheered as they saw their boss mingling with them Mr boldwood who was just passing by heard the joyful atmosphere at bathsheba's farm he went nearer and saw Bathsheba and her employees bathing the Sheep Mr boldwood smiled admiring Ms everdeen's gestures he requested Lydia to call her Madame if he could talk to her for a second Bathsheba went out of the water and spoke with Mr boldwood Mr boldwood brought the lady to his property he proudly told her he had one thousand acres of land and Orchard a glass house and livestock after that Mr bold would welcome the lady inside his house Bathsheba was amused and looked around meanwhile Mr boldwood looked nervous and Bathsheba noticed that she looked at him and the bachelor went near Mr boldwood told Ms Everdeen his intention to marry her like the previous proposal Bathsheba declined Mr boldwood didn't expect him to be rejected he thought that Bathsheba was the one who sent the Valentine's card to him Ms Everdeen did not deny it but told the man she did not take it seriously when she sent it the lady apologized to Mr Baldwin regardless The Bachelor insisted and promised the lady that he would take care of her give her a piano and everything she needed Bathsheba sounded very independent as she told the man she had a piano and everything he offered she doesn't need a husband the lady added Mr boldwood was dismayed and looked Miserable as Bathsheba noticed it she told the man she would think again about his offer hearing that Mr Baldwin felt alive and told the lady he'd give her enough time Bathsheba went home late bothered about Mr boldwood's proposal she decides to walk around the barn before sleeping there she saw Gabriel the shepherd working overtime to sharpen a knife she was glad as she saw him working passionately she went in and tried sharpening the knives herself Gabriel held her wrist to guide her but Bathsheba removed it Mr Oak silently went back knowing bathsheb is rudely independent character to break the silence Bathsheba asked Gabriel if Farmers had a say in Mr boldwood picking her up the guy replied that they thought she'd be married before the year ended Bathsheba left flattered that her man wanted him to get married to the bachelor there Mr Oak suspected that Mr boldwood had already proposed marriage to Bathsheba Gabriel also told the lady if she wanted to hear his thoughts about Mr boldwood Rude Bathsheba said to him that she didn't care about his opinion later on she got curious and let the man speak Gabriel told the lady that her Valentine's letter prank makes her sound unworthy to Mr boldwood hearing that the lady went mad and recalled how she had rejected him she shed tears after saying that trembling with anger the lady told Gabrielle to leave at the end of the week Mr Oak agreed without thinking twice he did not wait a week and he resigned right after that he banged the door and left in the absence of a reliable Shepherd a severe problem took place the flock of sheep had bloated stomachs hearing such scary news bathshebber rode on his horse and went to the field an old farmer recommended puncturing the Sheep's room and to release the gas but there were hundreds of sheep and they had to do it quickly one by one bathsheb accounted herself to help them however the man told the lady that such a case needed a skilled Shepherd to execute because even trained ones make mistakes eliminating a sheep instantly bathsheba's face looks worried Gabriel already resigned last night because of her her pride is Way Beyond anyone forcing her never to seek Gabriel's help bathsheb immediately thought of a plan while leaving his work Mr Oak walks down a muddy path and doesn't know where to go suddenly bathsheb is man Joseph was running toward him Bathsheba swallowed her Pride to save her animals and sent Joseph to find Gabriel Joseph told the man that Ms Everdeen badly needed his help at the farm Bathsheba eagerly waited for Joseph and Gabriel to return she felt alive as she hears horses getting near Joseph came back however Gabrielle was not with him the man wants Ms Everdeen to ask for his help personally threw her horse bathshebber Randa Gabriel setting aside her issue against him Bathsheba finally saw Gabrielle sitting under the tree her eyes were almost in tears as she pleaded with Gabriel for help she even humbled herself by calling the man Mr Oak Gabriel on the other hand saw in her eyes that she was crying inside for help it was his first time seeing the independent Everdeen needing his help Gabriel's heart melted and he rode the horse back to the farm to save the Sheep Gabriel treated first to you that was almost dying he pierced its rumen with a tool a sound of air puffing from the used stomach was hurt but there was no movement from the Sheep Gabriel Pats its back and suddenly the year runs and becomes energetic like it used to they even tried to capture it but it ran wildly everyone including Bathsheba screamed with joy after it was already dark when Gabriel finished treating the flock of sheep at the foot of the Hill Bathsheba sat and was able to breathe after her animals bloated she was smiling and her gladness could be mirrored in her eyes Gabriel went near to her the two reconciled after a celebration dinner follows after Gabrielle saves bathsheba's Farm again they prepare shared a feast of food and sang with all their heart everyone was all drunk when someone suddenly arrived he is Mr Baldwin he joined the dinner and everyone welcomed him as the bachelor said the farmers requested Ms Everdeen to sing the lady refused at first but agreed later on Bathsheba played her piano and sang a relaxing Love Song her workers were amused by her beautiful voice everyone is not familiar with the music they just listened and swayed their head to the tune a baritone voice was heard he joined Ms Everdeen in singing everyone looked around searching who was in duet with their Madam it was the wealthy Bachelor who proposed to Bathsheba Mr Baldwin Gabriel stared at the man with jealousy he was The Soul Man on the table who did not enjoy the performance Ms Everdeen accompanied Mr boldwood in going home the two were also amused by their Duo and couldn't stop giggling Mr bold would grab the chance to flirt with Bathsheba the lady changed her mood and sounded independent as usual The Bachelor offered himself to accompany the lady back to her house she reasoned that she must check around the farm before sleeping and that she could do it alone Mr boldwood got pissed off with the ladies reply betsell walked around the dark shrubby area when she suddenly encountered an unfamiliar man he was a soldier and their feet were entangled he told the lady that he was lost and looking for weatherberry the soldier offered help but Bathsheba didn't let him the lady tried to untangle herself so she placed the lamp between them there she got a close look at the soldier the soldier is Sergeant Francis Troy the same Soldier engaged Fanny Robin Sergeant Troy stared at the lady Bathsheba on the other hand was so intimidated by the strange Soldier the guy smiled and admired the lady's Beauty instead of flattered Bathsheba trembled in fear afraid the man would hurt her at that moment Bathsheba could untangle herself and requested the man to give her the lamp back she also told the man that he was not supposed to enter her territory the lady arrived home safely after the next day everyone prepared the hay to be collected to form Ricks batsheba saw a new face at the farm she called Lydia to ask for the details of the worker she hired there betshepa knew that he was Sergeant Francis Troy a similar man she had seen the night before Bathsheba approached him and requested the man to get out of her Farm Sergeant Troy on the other hand smiled like a pervert and expressed his admiration for the lady instead of flattered Bathsheba scolded the man that she had never felt interested in anyone and had not even kissed a guy she insisted that he should leave the farm already Sergeant Troy agreed but requested the lady to meet him tomorrow 8 pm at the hollow in ferns it will be a secret meeting if the lady agrees the next day Bathsheba was bothered by Troy's invitation she didn't know why but she agreed to meet him maybe because she was flattered by his words repeatedly saying that she looked different from other women batsheb addressed and headed to the hollow in ferns in her purple dress there the soldier was awaiting her in his uniform he was so happy to see Bathsheba appearing in their meeting place Sergeant Troy approached the lady and asked if she trusted him that much to accept his invitation Bathsheba nodded yes so the soldier promised he wouldn't harm her if she didn't Flinch indeed the soldier did not hurt the lady but cut her hair Bathsheba got mad but Sergeant Troy went near to her she couldn't move as she also liked him kissing her the soldier stopped and walked away Bathsheba on the other hand froze for a while feeling satisfied even if it only lasted seconds Bathsheba went home and couldn't stop smiling recalling what Sergeant Troy did to her later that day Bathsheba walks around the farm where she meets Gabrielle he was so angry and without hesitation warned the lady about Troy Bathsheba did not listen to him and told the man that the soldier was decent Gabriel continued and told the lady not to believe and listen to the soldier and that it was better to stay away from him for good Bathsheba went angry and asked the man his purpose for warning her never to go near a man Gabriel told the lady he was wrong for assuming he had a chance with her especially since she was richer than him the man also told the lady not to worry because he would move away one day with that he requests that before he leaves Bathsheba will give him a chance to at least protect her Gabriel walked out on that night Bathsheba prepares herself to travel somewhere before she leaves she writes a letter to Mr boldwood telling the man that she has already thought for some time and decided to reject his marriage proposal Bathsheba went to the city to meet someone it was Sergeant Troy she was so happy because she thought the man would not honor his word to wait for her Bathsheba looked so much in love as her eye eyes sparkle towards the soldier there the soldier proposed to the lady and for the first time she replied yes even if it sounded rushed Bathsheba fell for him they even had romantic moments that night and Bathsheba never thought about giving herself to him at the farm while Gabrielle and everyone were busy Sergeant Troy and Beth Sheba arrived they were riding a carriage Gabriel got mad assuming that the two were already engaged a party at the farm took place where Bathsheba danced joyfully with Sergeant Troy Gabriel joined the party late the soldier announced to everyone that they were already married and that he would be the master of the farm the crowd cheered for The Newlywed while Gabriel went near his Madam to tell her something he now addresses her as Ms Everdeen Gabriel informed her that there was going to be a storm Sergeant Troy interrupted and the shepherd also informed him about the weather disturbance furthermore Gabriel told them they needed at least six men to prepare the farm before the storm they only have an hour to do that Bathsheba got concerned but Sergeant Troy assured her everything would be safe besides they were currently celebrating their wedding and all she needed to do was to enjoy the soldier stared at Gabriel real insulting him he belittled the shepherd's ability and told him it would never rain tonight Gabriel just walked out and never talked back to the proud soldier who was only after bathsheba's properties Bathsheba did not also bother to go out and check her Farm she looks madly in love and obviously Under The Soldier's manipulative hands wins blue heart and Gabriel was the soul man who was concerned about the Ricks he tried to do everything on his own without anyone's help meanwhile Bathsheba got tired and went to bed in her room she saw Gabriel covering the Rick's piled outside seeing that the lady headed out to help him the two climbed the Ricks and helped each other cover them suddenly lightning struck and Bathsheba almost fell there Gabriel offered his hands and told the lady to hold them Heavy Rain poured down as how Gabriel anticipated the two went under the roof to seek shelter bear Bathsheba opened up about the time when she hated maidens for instantly falling in love with the flattery words of men in Scarlet uniforms all her life she never thought that she would be like one she also confessed to Gabriel that Sergeant Troy mentioned a woman a more beautiful woman than he loved before her she felt jealous after knowing regardless she still marries the soldier and realizes how foolish she is to comfort her Gabriel told the lady to just go to bed because he would take care of everything batsheb a wholeheartedly thanked Gabrielle the next day Gabrielle walked up first among everyone he immediately proceeded to work like he used to a little while Gabrielle noticed Mr boldwood standing from afar watching him there Mr Baldwin told Gabriel that he was also worried about bathsheba's crops After the Storm but he was impressed that Gabrielle protected them Mr boldwood looks unwell so Gabriel suggests him to go home The Bachelor stayed for a while and opened up to Gabriel about Bathsheba promising her nothing and not saying a word to him for the last time Mr Baldwin was grieving that he could not control his tears shutting down one day the true colors of Sergeant Troy started to be noticed by Bathsheba he was so childish and immature for his age he even played with a sword next to bathsheba's animals apart from that he was also fond of gambling in the city after losing cash Troy finds Fanny Robin begging for money from the people she was the lady he was supposed to marry Sergeant Troy was happy founding the beauty beautiful Maiden who was pale at that time Fanny on the other hand was mad at him for telling her the wrong Church on their wedding day Troy explained to the lady but saw Bathsheba coming he requested Fanny to argue with her later because his wife might see them Fanny looked at Mrs Troy and told the soldier she was more beautiful than her Sergeant Troy on the other hand disagreed and told the lady that she was more gorgeous than his wife the maiden cried and confessed to the soldier that she was carrying his child Troy was shocked he instructed Fanny to go to budmuth he promised the lady that he would find her a home and make amends after making a mistake by marrying Bathsheba as the two talked Bathsheba already noticed that there might be something going on with them just before she decides to confront her husband Troy angrily goes in her Direction and pulls her to the carriage Bathsheba could not do anything but follow Troy the next day pregnant Fanny Robin started her journey to budmuth to meet Troy she looks so pale carrying a heavy bag on a steeping Road she walked at home Sergeant Troy asked bathsheb if she could lend 20 pounds to him that Shabba scolded the soldier for gambling and immediately thought he would use the money there Sergeant Troy threatened his wife never to do anything that she might regret the soldier walked out and banged the door he proceeded to the bridge where he would be meeting Fanny at the farm a coffin with the dead body of Fanny Robin was brought by Beth sheba's men Fanny Robin was Mr everdeen's servant so instead of getting her remains to the church Bathsheba told her men to bring her coffin inside her home their two candles were lit beside her body Bathsheba all in black paid respect to her uncle's servant that he was also standing there and shared with her Madame that Fanny had a sweetheart who was a soldier lyddie knew it was Troy but she did not tell her boss and just cried Bathsheba saw that the coffin had Fanny Robin and her child written on it out of curiosity she opened the coffin after lyddie left Bathsheba was extremely surprised as she saw a baby beside Fanny she was terrified and walked backward Sergeant Troy came in and was in tears after seeing a coffin Bathsheba tried to stop him but Troy managed to get near he was in grief as he saw the love of his life Fanny Robin and their child lying inside the coffin he kissed them and Bathsheba was not okay with kissing another woman before her with that sergeant Troy told the lady that Fanny Robin meant more to him than her even if she was already dead he added that his wife can never replace her and that Bathsheba is nothing to him now Bathsheba cried and walked away in tears after hearing that on the day of the burial Sergeant Troy went to the Sea removed his uniform and swam to the deepest portion hearing that her husband was drowned she opened Troy's belonging even if he fooled Bathsheba the lady was still in grief after losing him the following day Mr boldwood visited Gabriel he expressed his admiration for the shepherd for managing bathsheba's farmwell with that he offered to work on his farm where he would receive a percentage of its income Gabriel declined and told the bachelor that Ms Everdeen needed him the most Mr Baldwin replied and assured the man that he would get permission from the lady before he made a move Mr boldwood also brought Gabriel's dog from necrom Hill where he previously worked Gabrielle was so happy and played with his dog bathsheb already knew about Mr boldwood offering a job to Gabriel to take care of his farm the loyal servant Gabriel told the lady he would not transfer there without her permission bathshebo so much to Gabriel that she doesn't force him to stay with her she believes that Gabriel deserves more opportunities that she can't give to him with that Gabriel left Ms Everdeen Mr boldwood also visited Bathsheba and consult her for her loss there he expressed his intention to pay the Soldier's debt due to gambling Bathsheba declined and told the bachelor that she didn't want money Mr boldwood insisted and told the lady that he was not just willing to pay the debt but also willing to provide for the financial stability of her farm and more than anything else he was willing to be bathsheba's husband the lady is still unsure about what she felt about Mr boldwood The Bachelor insists that he won't mind if the lady married him without desire but out of guilt and pity she feels towards him he also gave the lady enough time to think and had an agreement that he'll wait for her decision by Christmas like what the lady promised bathsheb opened this to Gabriel and told the man that she was hesitant because love for her became a sad thing Gabriel replied and got curious why Bathsheba was asking him different things about love batshaba told the man that she sees him as objective and indifferent very different from the previous Bathsheba who never even gave a chance to the poor man to marry her Gabriel on the other hand responded that she was asking the wrong man Bathsheba was Tyrion just greeted good night to Gabrielle before she left winter came and the men were all busy cutting pine trees to be decorated for Christmas Bathsheba attended a mass where Gabriel and Mr boldwood were also there Mr bold would notice that bathsheba's thoughts were not composed since she was blankly staring at the chair however he just set aside that thinking that Christmas is fast approaching when the lady will decide to decline his proposal or marry him hours before Christmas Eve Mr boldwood and his workers together with Gabriel were all busy decorating his home for the party later The Bachelor also invited Gabrielle to attend the event Mr boldwood felt mixed emotions at that moment he was happy but also trembling because he felt nervous about bathsheba's decision The Bachelor also asked Gabriel his advice on what tie will he wear later the man only replied to Mr Boldman that he was asking the wrong man The Bachelor smiled and continued asking Gabriel if Bathsheba would keep her promise Gabriel for the second time responded that he was asking the wrong man with that Mr Baldwin showed the ring he would give to Beth Sheba once she accepted his proposal the middle-aged man also went serious and told Gabriel he knew his secret how he takes care of Bathsheba and her Farm made him conclude that he loves her so much he also told Gabrielle that Bathsheba deeply loves him based on her actions regardless Mr boldwood is hopeful that Beth Sheba will marry him Gabriel on the other hand told the bachelor that he would try to make time to attend the party at the farm a familiar face showed up in bathsheba's room it was Sergeant Troy her husband he is still alive and was mysteriously planning something meanwhile at Mr boldwood's Mansion bathsheb arrives and the middle-aged man Smiles at the lady the party is so elegant and joyous but Bathsheba is lonely sitting in a chair while observing Gabrielle mingling with other ladies Gabriel went near to Bathsheba to greet her Bathsheba jokingly told the man that he'll make those ladies upset for leaving them the silence was heard after where Gabriel and Bathsheba felt awkward the music ended and everyone on the dance of floor clapped Mr boldwood interrupted the two knowing the bachelor's plan Gabriel asked permission to leave the event Mr boldwood stopped him and told the man that he better dance with Bathsheba first before leaving Bathsheba agreed and Gabriel held her hand to dance romantic music filled the room Bathsheba told Gabrielle to tell her what to do she was teary eyes as he was waiting for the man to respond Gabriel on the other hand told the lady to do what was right Bathsheba excuses herself after that leaving Gabriel on the Dance Floor without their knowledge Mr boldwood was just observing them from afar Bathsheba went outside of the house feeling pressured there she saw Sergeant Troy is alive and walking towards her he is wearing his uniform and carrying a sword Bathsheba couldn't believe it and shed a tear some fishermen found him and brought him to the shore but just as he planned to return he heard everyone think he was already dead he liked the thought of that and decided to stay that way Bathsheba asked why he came back the soldier responded that he missed her so much so he returned Troy asked the lady why she was not happy to see him that Shepard recalled when he told her that she was nothing to him Sergeant Troy denied it he made the lady feel guilty by saying that he gave up his job as a soldier for her so he was not wrong for asking for some money before Bathsheba told them and that she didn't have money left hearing that the soldier told the lady to sell her Farm to make money meanwhile at the party Mr boldwood was bothered when Bathsheba went out of his house alone in the middle of the night Sergeant Troy forced bathsheva to return home with him but the lady just cried angry the soldier pulled the lady's arm heading home the shot was heard Mr boldwood eliminated Sergeant Troy bathshebble looked at Troy and was terrified to see him dead after the incident Mr boldwood was imprisoned for his deed days passed and Bathsheba harvested her crops way higher than her harvest in the past five years seeing that the farm was successful Gabrielle told Bathsheba that he'd be leaving for America the next day Bathsheba agreed and said the man he deserved the best the next day Gabriel left home while Bathsheba said on her bed feeling bothered Liddy noticed the sadness in her Madam's eyes she pretends to be busy at her table with her papers Gabriel's dog was just next to her its eyes were also in grief softly barking Bathsheba the lady saw the dog's lonely eyes there she immediately went out on her horse she planned to search for Gabriel she found him she offered him money a farm partnership or anything that would stop him from leaving Gabriel replied and told the lady that he didn't need those anymore he also added that he had already told her he would go one day Bathsheba tried to stop Gabrielle for the second time but the man insisted on leaving and motivated the lady that it was now time to fight her own battles even if it hurts her so much Bathsheba bit her goodbye and expressed gratitude to Gabriel for not leaving her side she also asked the man if she was his first love Gabrielle didn't respond there Bathsheba accepted that she would be going alone without him suddenly Gabrielle told the lady that if he just knew that Bathsheba would let him marry and love her one day Bathsheba interrupted and jokingly told the man that he would never know because he never asked Bathsheba invited Gabrielle to ask her again Gabrielle never believed what he heard he has always been afraid of being rejected by her again Gabriel cried in happiness and grabbed the chance to kiss the woman he loved the two passionately kissed and headed to the farm too late may it be for Bathsheba to love back Gabriel but it doesn't matter to him all he wants is to get the hand of the woman he loves in good and bad times the love that Bathsheba has been expecting from other men that only Gabriel himself can wholeheartedly offer
