“
Welcome
to
one
of
your
ancestral
mansions
!
”
said
Clare
as
he
handed
her
down
.
But
he
regretted
the
pleasantry
;
it
was
too
near
a
satire
.
On
entering
they
found
that
,
though
they
had
only
engaged
a
couple
of
rooms
,
the
farmer
had
taken
advantage
of
their
proposed
presence
during
the
coming
days
to
pay
a
New
Year
’
s
visit
to
some
friends
,
leaving
a
woman
from
a
neighbouring
cottage
to
minister
to
their
few
wants
.
The
absoluteness
of
possession
pleased
them
,
and
they
realized
it
as
the
first
moment
of
their
experience
under
their
own
exclusive
roof
-
tree
.
But
he
found
that
the
mouldy
old
habitation
somewhat
depressed
his
bride
.
When
the
carriage
was
gone
they
ascended
the
stairs
to
wash
their
hands
,
the
charwoman
showing
the
way
.
On
the
landing
Tess
stopped
and
started
.
“
What
’
s
the
matter
?
”
said
he
.
“
Those
horrid
women
!
”
she
answered
with
a
smile
.
“
How
they
frightened
me
.
”
He
looked
up
,
and
perceived
two
life
-
size
portraits
on
panels
built
into
the
masonry
.
As
all
visitors
to
the
mansion
are
aware
,
these
paintings
represent
women
of
middle
age
,
of
a
date
some
two
hundred
years
ago
,
whose
lineaments
once
seen
can
never
be
forgotten
.
The
long
pointed
features
,
narrow
eye
,
and
smirk
of
the
one
,
so
suggestive
of
merciless
treachery
;
the
bill
-
hook
nose
,
large
teeth
,
and
bold
eye
of
the
other
suggesting
arrogance
to
the
point
of
ferocity
,
haunt
the
beholder
afterwards
in
his
dreams
.
“
Whose
portraits
are
those
?
”
asked
Clare
of
the
charwoman
.
“
I
have
been
told
by
old
folk
that
they
were
ladies
of
the
d
’
Urberville
family
,
the
ancient
lords
of
this
manor
,
”
she
said
,
“
Owing
to
their
being
builded
into
the
wall
they
can
’
t
be
moved
away
.
”
The
unpleasantness
of
the
matter
was
that
,
in
addition
to
their
effect
upon
Tess
,
her
fine
features
were
unquestionably
traceable
in
these
exaggerated
forms
.
He
said
nothing
of
this
,
however
,
and
,
regretting
that
he
had
gone
out
of
his
way
to
choose
the
house
for
their
bridal
time
,
went
on
into
the
adjoining
room
.
The
place
having
been
rather
hastily
prepared
for
them
they
washed
their
hands
in
one
basin
.
Clare
touched
hers
under
the
water
.
