About this book

A Changed Man, and Other Tales by Thomas Hardy reprints, according to its prefatory note, a dozen minor novels that have been published in the periodical press at various dates in the past. The contents list names, among others, The Waiting Supper, The Grave by the Handpost, A Tryst at an Ancient Earthwork and What the Shepherd Saw. Mr. Maumbry offered himself as one willing to undertake labours that were certain to produce little result, and as a clergyman proved to be anything but a brilliant success.

Selina rises slowly to greet Mrs. Stone, telling her how kind it is of her to come in. Baptista is arrayed in her new silk frock and best stockings, wearing a linen jacket over the former for breakfasting.
