Tess of the D'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented — Chapter I • Paragraph 279
Stage 1 of 6

Read it through once

“We must take the ups wi’ the downs, Tess,” said she; “and never could your high blood have been found out at a more called-for moment. You must try your friends. Do ye know that there is a very rich Mrs d’Urberville living on the outskirts o’ The Chase, who must be our relation? You must go to her and claim kin, and ask for some help in our trouble.”
