Lucy increasingly feels disconnected from the rigid class attitudes surrounding her engagement to Cecil. When Cecil secretly arranges for the Emersons from Florence to rent Cissie Villa, claiming it as a joke against social snobbery, Lucy becomes upset by his manipulation and hypocrisy. The chapter deepens the contrast between Cecil’s performative liberalism and Lucy’s growing desire for honesty, equality, and emotional authenticity.
