¡¡¡¡ "That's the church," said Jude. ¡¡¡¡ "Where I am going to be married?" ¡¡¡¡ "Yes." ¡¡¡¡ "Indeed!" she exclaimed with curiosity. "How I should like to go in and see what the spot is like where I am so soon to kneel and do it." ¡¡¡¡ Again he said to himself, "She does not realize what marriage means!" ¡¡¡¡ He passively acquiesced in her wish to go in, and they entered by the western door. The only person inside the gloomy building was a charwoman cleaning. Sue still held Jude's arm, almost as if she loved him. Cruelly sweet, indeed, she had been to him that morning; but his thoughts of a penance in store for her were tempered by an ache: ¡¡¡¡ ... I can find no way How a blow should fall, such as falls on men, Nor prove too much for your womanhood! ¡¡¡¡ They strolled undemonstratively up the nave towards the altar railing, which they stood against in silence, turning then and walking down the nave again, her hand still on his arm, precisely like a couple just married. The too suggestive incident, entirely of her making, nearly broke down Jude. ¡¡¡¡ "I like to do things like this," she said in the delicate voice of an epicure in emotions, which left no doubt that she spoke the truth.
