Angel spends a few days away from the dairy visiting his family at Emminster.
His brothers Felix and Cuthbert, ordained ministers both, note Angel's coarsened manners, while Angel considers his brothers staid and narrow-minded.
Following evening prayers, Angel discusses his marriage prospects with his father.
The Clares have long hoped that Angel would marry Mercy Chant, a pious schoolmistress, but Angel argues that a wife who knows farm life would be a more practical choice.
He tells his parents about Tess, and they agree to meet her.
His father, the Reverend James Clare, tells Angel about his efforts to convert the local populace, and mentions his failure to tame a young miscreant named Alec d ' Urberville.
