"Being even now only a young woman of twenty,
one who mentally and sentimentally had not finished growing,
it was impossible that any event should have left upon her an impression that
was not in time capable of transmutation.
And thus her spirits, and her thankfulness, and her hopes, rose higher and higher.
Tess Durbeyfield, then, in good heart, and full of zest for life, descended the Egdon
slopes lower and lower towards the dairy of her pilgrimage."
-- Thomas Hardy
