Through the medium of nominally independent local companies, the LSWR had reached Lidford (now spelt Lydford) in Devon in 1874, giving it access to Plymouth over the South Devon Railway, and in 1879 it built a branch from Meldon Junction, west of Okehampton, to Holsworthy in north west Devon. The assizes were in July, and she went to the inn as before. There was to be one execution - only one - for arson. You can send away warts and other excrescences, I know,' she said; 'why can't you send away this?' And the arm was uncovered.

At these proofs of a kindly feeling towards her and hers Rhoda's heart reproached her bitterly. This innocent young thing should have her blessing and not her curse. When she left them a light seemed gone from the dwelling. Two days later she came again to know if the boots fitted; and less than a fortnight after paid Rhoda another call. On this occasion the boy was absent. But in 1912, he reversed that decision, moving "An Imaginative Woman" to another collection, Life's Little Ironies (1894), while at the same time transferring two of the latter collection's stories... O, not I; that is----,' the milkwoman murmured, with a start of dismay. Again the dread seized her that something to do with her fierce act in the dream might be revealed, and her character in the eyes of the most useful friend she had ever had be ruined irretrievably.

What has been called Hardy's 'magnificent gloominess' is amply realised, with deeply unhappy characters and horrific events matched by a focus on the monotony and bleakness of such a life. If it can't match Hardy's emphasis on Nature and Fate, at least those forces are powerfully present, while the supernatural plot only literalises the often paganistic impulse behind Hardy's seemingly realistic narratives. a b McRae, Andrew (1997).

I shouldn't so much mind it,' said the younger, with hesitation, 'if - if I hadn't a notion that it makes my husband dislike me - no, love me less. Men think so much of personal appearance.'
Where other novelists exult in the elegance of the ballroom or the teeming vitality of the Victorian city, Hardy privileges the mundane routine of everyday farming life. The main characters in his works are Nature, the Seasons, the intractable workings of Fate - difficult essences to give concrete realisation on screen. Further, his schematic, deterministic plots, which have a complex philosophical force in the novel, can seem merely contrived in a film. The elements that save the novels - the intricate tableaux of nature, the structuring narrative into rites - are similarly elusive. Only 'Jude' has seemed in any way satisfactory, although the speedy contraction of harrowing events eventually became bathetic.The period leading up to the First World War saw the North Cornwall line establish itself along with a growth in train traffic. Despite the lines remoteness, the war impacted on its running. Trains ran as normal in 1915 except for the occasional cancellation for troop movements ( below). From 1916 to 1917 the summer extra’s were cancelled as the Government required engines for war service as well as provision for extra cattle trains. Even then there was a basic daily five train service each way from Okehampton to Padstow although the limited Sunday service ceased from January 1917. From May 1918 further reductions were applied which then lasted the duration of the war and into 1919. In fact it wouldn’t be until 1921 that the normal pre-war services returned and even then the abundant services offered before 1914 never ever fully returned. There was a negative response from the first. 'Though they say she's a rosy-cheeked, tisty-tosty little body enough,' she added; and as the milkmaid spoke she turned her face so that she could glance past her cow's tall to the other side of the barton, where a thin, fading woman of thirty milked somewhat apart from the rest. The bridge east of St Kew Highway which carried the line over the A39 road. This section of the road has been bypassed to avoid the low bridge The bulk of the ex-Southern network, however, survived into the 1950s and beyond; the transfer of control from the Southern to the Western Region did not bode well and, during the 1960s, most of the lines – culminating in the closure of the lines to Ilfracombe and Okehampton in 1970 and 1972 respectively – disappeared. Today, passenger services are restricted generally to the Barnstaple and Gunnislake branches but there are hopes that other lines may be restored. Fellgett, Mary; Godden, James (2000).

Rhoda's son is a flat character, and Gertrude's husband is underdeveloped as well. For instance, most of the description we receive of the farmer Gertrude married comes after her death: Mrs Lodge urged, and Rhoda finally assented, though with much misgiving. Sad as' the journey would be to her, she could not conscientiously stand in the way of a possible remedy for her patron's strange affliction. It was agreed that, to escape suspicion of their mystic intent, they should meet at the edge of the heath at the corner of a plantation which was visible from the spot where they now stood. But she's very pretty - very. In fact, she's lovely.' The youthful freshness of the yeoman's wife had evidently made an impression even on the somewhat hard nature of the boy. Mrs Lodge was by this time close to the door - not in her silk, as Rhoda had dreamt of in the bed-chamber, but in a morning hat, and gown of common light material, which became her better than silk. On her arm she carried a basket. When the milking was done they washed their pails and hung them on a many-forked stand made as usual of the peeled limb of an oak-tree, set upright in the earth, and resembling a colossal antlered horn. The majority then dispersed in various directions homeward. The thin woman who had not spoken was joined by a boy of twelve or thereabout, and the twain went away up the field also.No - of a bluish turn, and her mouth is very nice and red; and when she smiles, her teeth show white.' Rhoda looked relieved, and Mrs Lodge rode on. The milkwoman had inwardly seen, from the moment she heard of her having been mentioned as a reference for this man,' that there must exist a sarcastic feeling among the work-folk that a sorceress would know the wbereabouts of the exorcist. They suspected her, then. A short time ago this' would have given no concern to a woman of her common sense. But she had a haunting reason to be superstitious now; and she had been seized with sudden dread that this Conjuror Trendle might name her as the malignant influence' which was blasting the fair person of Gertrude, and so lead her friend to hate her for ever, and to treat her as some fiend in human shape. He flung down his bundle, held the edge of the cabbage-net, and as she filled its meshes with the dripping leaves she went on, 'Well, did you see her?' By 1964 [14] the passenger service had declined to four trains a day plus a Halwill to Launceston short return journey.
The 1938 Bradshaw's Railway Guide [13] shows five down and six up trains a day (Monday to Friday) on the line, plus a first up train from Launceston to Halwill and a last up train from Padstow to Launceston, and a last down train from Halwill to Launceston. All the trains called at all stations with the exception of the Atlantic Coast Express, the 11:00 from Waterloo, which ran non-stop Exeter St Davids to Halwill, then Launceston, Otterham, Camelford, Delabole, Port Isaac Road and Wadebridge, arriving in Padstow at 4:24 after a 260-mile (420km) journey. The train conveyed a restaurant car throughout. The Saturday service was similar, although congestion earlier in the journey meant a slightly slower journey. There was no Sunday service.
