"Why didn't you stay and love me when I was sixteen, living with my little sisters and brothers, and you danced on the green?"
Hounded by Alec; deserted by Angel.
Angel changing.
"The beauty or ugliness of a character lay not only in its achievement, but in its aims and impulses."
Magic of working late at night in spring, with company: "The air was fresh and keen; there was a whisper of spring in it that cheered the workers on. Something in the place, the hours, the crackling fires, the fantastic mysteries of light and shade made others as well as Tess enjoy being there."
Tess returns to her parents house--and is spotted, putting her parents in worse trouble. She leaves.
Finally she turns on Angel--he wasn't fair to her, she knows it. Heartbreaking letters.
A short period of love in a deserted manor home. Really, a wonderful respite. Then, disaster.
What a book!
