A story of love, heartache and tragedy

Mariam Hi again. It’s Mariam. Let’s continue our story about love, heartache and tragedy.

Bathsheba has just married the handsome Sergeant Francis Troy. Let’s see what happens next.

Months later, there’s a setback . Bathsheba discovers that a woman that Troy had got pregnant and was set to marry, has died in childbirth. Bathsheba feels indirectly responsible but is relieved when Troy disappears. Troy’s clothes are found by the sea and most people assume that he has died.

A year later, her neighbour Mr Boldwood is still crazy for Bathsheba and is still set on marrying her when she legally becomes a widow. She finally agrees and Mr Boldwood throws a big party but guess who turns up? Yes, it’s Troy. The jealous and angry Mr Boldwood sets on Troy and shoots him dead. Mr Boldwood is arrested and sent to prison.

This leaves Gabriel - who’s been loyally working on Bathsheba’s farm. She realises his goodness and they finally get married and are all set for a happy life together.

So everything works out well for Bathsheba. Well, that’s the end of this story. I hope you enjoyed it and I’ll see you for another one soon. Bye for now.
