I've got a fam - ily vault at Kingsbere!' ¡¡¡¡`Hush - don't be so silly, Jacky,' said his wife. `Yours is not the only family that was of `count in wold days. Look at the Anktells, and Horseys, and the Tringhams themselves gone to seed almost as much as you - though you was bigger folks than they, that's true. Thank God, I was never of no family, and have nothing to be ashamed of in that way!' ¡¡¡¡`Don't you be so sure o' that. From your father `tis my belief you've disgraced yourselves more than any o' us, and was kings and queens outright at one time.' ¡¡¡¡Tess turned the subject by saying what was far more prominent in her own mind at the moment than thoughts of her ancestry-- ¡¡¡¡`I am afraid father won't be able to take the journey with the beehives tomorrow so early.' ¡¡¡¡`I? I shall be all right in an hour or two,' said Durbeyfield. ¡¡¡¡It was eleven o'clock before the family were all in bed, and two o'clock next morning was the latest hour for starting with the beehives if they were to be delivered to the retailers in Caster-bridge before the Saturday market began, the way thither lying by bad roads over a distance of between twenty and thirty miles, and the horse and waggon being of the slowest. At half-past one Mrs Durbeyfield came into the large bedroom where Tess and all her little brothers and sisters slept. ¡¡¡¡`The poor man can't go,' she said to her eldest daughter, whose great eyes had opened the moment her mother's hand touched the door. ¡¡¡¡Tess sat up in bed, lost in a vague interspace between a dream and this information. ¡¡¡¡`But somebody must go,' she replied. `It is late for the hives already. Swarming will soon be over for the year; and if we put off taking `em till next week's market the call for'em will be past, and they'll be thrown on our hands.' ¡¡¡¡Mrs Durbeyfield looked unequal to the emergency. `Some young feller, perhaps, would go? One of them who were so much after dancing with `ee yesterday,' she presently suggested.
