 Medieval People
According to St. Jerome, a Latin father of the Christian church, woman is the gate of the devil, the path of wickedness, the sting of the serpent, in a word, a perilous object.
The lady was treated like that because according to a Greek legend the first woman, Pandora, was the one who opened the forbidden box and caused war and illness to mankind.
You should remember the king because he was the head of the feudal system, the lady because she was treated so badly, and the doctor because he had the power to cure.

Abel Edwards had loved this poor animal well, and had set great store by his faithful service; and the horse had loved him, after the dumb fashion of his kind, and, indeed, not sensing that he was dead, loved him still, with a love as for the living, which no human being could compass.
When she had the minister's daughter and other notable ladies to tea, who held it due to themselves to enter the front door, she was somewhat uneasy lest they draggle their fine petticoats skirting the trees, especially if the grass was dewy or there was snow; otherwise, she cared not.

 "The Vicar is Indignant" by James Abbott Pasquier
It is likely that in writing A Pair of Blue Eyes he was also mining his first (unpublished) novel, The Poor Man and the Lady (1867-9), in which class-consciousness likewise separates the lovers.
Although Pasquier does not depict the vicar's straw hat, it must be just off the left of the frame because, immediately after expressing his determination to conduct no "private business" with the London architect's man, he puts it on and strides through the drawing-room (stage-right, behind Stephen) and out onto the verandah.
Although Stephen's tweed waistcoat and suit certainly suggest "the London professional man," and his rounded cheeks his relative youth, Hardy describes only the last of these elements of the character.

During this period he wrote the unpublished novel, The Poor Man and the Lady.
Like Wordsworth he attempted to write in common language and with the simplicity of speech, an aspect of his poetry greatly admired and regularly imitated by later twentieth century poets such as Larkin.
His themes, though, followed those of his novels: death; cruel ironies in life and romance; and the struggle of man against his own desires and the perils of an advancing civilization.

 Thomas Hardy: The Last Victorian   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
But at a pivotal time in the young man's life, the many restorations provided both experience and a steady income that made writing seem an unwise diversion of energy.
He posted the story, which he called The Poor Man and the Lady, to Alexander Macmillan, the well-know publisher of T. Huxley, Lewis Carroll, Tennyson, and Kipling.
Perhaps awed by the qualifications of Macmillan, Chapman, and Meredith, Hardy abandoned his efforts to publish The Poor Man and the Lady and put the novel so far out of his mind that he later claimed to have forgotten what he had done with the manuscript, which is now unfortunately lost.
