Hardy had made this very point himself earlier in the novel, remarking that "the personal charms which Tess could boast of were in main part her mother's gift, and therefore unknightly, unhistorical," (31) and Joan even remarks to her husband that Tess's trump card is her face, not her ancestry (64).
Hardy's implicit point is that, had Tess the money to stand out from the crowd, she could.
Hardy later remarks that "women whose chief companions are the forms and forces of outdoor Nature retain in their souls far more of the Pagan fantasy" (120).

When Hardy's novels were first published in a uniform edition, in the 1890's, the title given to the series was "The Wessex Novels".
For this reason, when we read Hardy's complete works, we get the sense of a fully-laid out plan, of a fictional universe which was created whole and into which the various characters and their stories merely had to be inserted.
So Hardy was creating his own microcosm, a dream world which, among the educated middle classes for whom he was writing, might just as well have been on the moon.

Between his parents, Hardy gained all the interests that would appear in his novels and his own life: his love for architecture and music, his interest in the lifestyles of the country folk, and his passion for all sorts of literature.
Hardy loved the apprenticeship because it allowed him to learn the histories of the houses and the families that lived there.

One of the most striking French singers of the 1960s, Francoise Hardy is considered part of the bubblegummy ye-ye scene, though her moody, elegant records are not as bouncy or perky as the more prefab female singers, such as France Gall or Brigitte Bardot.
Besides being incredibly cool, Hardy is notable for being the first French "girl" singer to write and record her own songs, rather than music given to her by a producer.
Hardy wrote only about half the songs on here, but all the music is in keeping with her personal style.
