The Three Strangers is a short story by Thomas Hardy that was first published in 1883. The story is set in rural England and follows the events of a stormy winter's night. Three strangers arrive at the door of a remote farmhouse seeking shelter from the weather. The farmer and his wife welcome them in, and the strangers share their food and drink. As the night wears on, the strangers reveal their true identities, and the farmer realizes that they are all connected in ways he never could have imagined. The story explores themes of chance, fate, and the interconnectedness of all people. It is a classic example of Hardy's writing style, which is known for its vivid descriptions of rural life and its focus on the struggles of ordinary people. The Three Strangers is a timeless tale that continues to captivate readers with its powerful message and engaging storytelling.A dancing-party was the alternative; but this, while avoiding the foregoing objection on the score of good drink, had a counterbalancing disadvantage in the matter of good victuals, the ravenous appetites engendered by the exercise causing immense havoc in the buttery. Shepherdess Fennel fell back upon the intermediate plan of mingling short dances with short periods of talk and singing, so as to hinder any ungovernable rage in either. But this scheme was entirely confined to her own gentle mind: the shepherd himself was in the mood to exhibit the most reckless phases of hospitality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
