Well, I reached the end of phase 1, which was further than I could bear to watch on the DVD. Since the next phase is called 'Maiden no more', I assume Alec d'Urberville exercised his droit de seigneur over her. I don't think you have to be clairvoyant to see that coming. The only surprise is that I thought she would weaken and regret it afterwards (I assume Hardy does not go into graphic details in the next chapter).
Awww, poor Tess. Her parents are loving, but if only they had been harder working and more sensible. Tess was the most responsible one in her family.
I hope things turn up for her after this.
