In which the newlywed Grandcourts arrive at the ancient Abbey, their contrasting dispositions revealed through the scrutinising eyes of Daniel Deronda and their acquaintances, as the grandeur of the house and stables provides a striking backdrop to the quiet undercurrents of tension and concealed thought.
