The Letter Killeth
Into their lives comes little Father Time, the child of Jude and Arabella.
Sue finds herself bowed down with domestic drudgery and hardship. Jude returns to his humbler trade of baking because his consumption cannot withstand the outdoor life of a stonemason.
Once again there is the old longing to return to Christminster, and Jude resolves finally to take himself and his family there for good.
