Quotation:
Plainly Mr.Gifford, on meeting him and learning of his family background, refused to countenance his marriage to Emma."
Notes:
When Hardy went to meet Emma's parents to ask to marry her, he was totally rejected by them due to his poor background; which could well have given him the idea for Tess with relation to the class differences between her, Angel and Alec.
