It adds so much to the tragedy that the card, what Boldwood, bases his all on ,was a joke and that Bathsheba knew he would take it seriously,yet sent it anyway. <br /><br />Another great Valentine story is how in Feb 1840 Willy Wightman, Haworth curate,trampled the ten miles to Bradford so the Bronte girls and friend,Ellen Nussey, would each receive a Valentine from beyond the village. Not a small thing by any means. He was known for winning hearts and even today one has to love Willy Wightman for that hike to BradfordAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05033117202223821117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-45147921477402205692016-02-14T21:49:58.090-08:002016-02-14T21:49:58.090-08:00What a lovely post.
