This
chapter begins the last adventurous day in the life of Dunstan Cass. On his way to
auction-off Wildfire, he begins to contemplate the prospect of persuading Silas to lend
him the pile of money which he must have been hoarding over the years. Later, on his
journey, he gets a generous offer for the horse from a friend of the family, and says that
he will return later to make the deal. Inside his mind, Dunstan thinks that he could also
win even more money by entering a hunt with dogs, citing his own "unusual good
luck." Unfortunately tragedy strikes during the hunt Wildfire falls into a pit,
leading to the horses immediate death. Dunstan ditches the prized horse, deciding to
walk home. On the way he paces Silass house, planning to persuade the old, lonely
weaver to loan him some of his gold. When Dunstan knocks, he notices that no one is home
and soon invites himself in. Suddenly he realizes that nothing is preventing him from just
stealing Marners money, so he uncovers the sandy bricks and hauls away two bags of
Silass gold guineas. The scene ends with Dunstan stepping forward into the darkness;
he will not be heard from again until his body is found near the end of the story. |
