- Parson Tringham tells no one that John Durbeyfield's family is an impoverished branch of the noble, once mighty D'Urbervilles. However 'celebrating' in the pub, bad heart and bad luck end up completely ruining the family finances. His wife finally convinces daughter Tess to swallow her pride and seek help from the D'Urbervilles on a nearby estate. The heir, Alec D'Urberville, takes to her, arranges a job on the family's poultry farm and becomes her family's benefactor. Lost in the forest after a dance, he takes advantage of her. To save her honor and independence, she decides to leave.—KGF Vissers
- When John Durbeyfield learns from Parson Tringham that he is part of a somewhat undistinguished branch of the wealthy and powerful D'Ubervilles family, his eldest daughter is sent off to make contact with them and hopefully, gain some advantage from them. At the D'Uberville manor she meets her cousin Alec, the eldest son, who immediately takes an interest in her. She soon receives an offer from Alec's mother to manage the estate's poultry farm and Alec soon sets about to charm her. Tess quite properly rejects his advances but he tricks her into accompanying him after a fête, he forces himself on her. Shocked by what has happened, she returns to her parents home.—garykmcd
