Agnes Grey, Chapter 22 summary
Chapter 22 of 25 · 12 min to read the chapter
In Chapter 22, Miss Grey visits Rosalie Murray at Ashby Park and finds that luxury does not relieve her unhappiness with her husband and mother-in-law. Rosalie reports that Mr. Weston has left Horton without saying where he goes, leaving Miss Grey discouraged about any prospect of seeing him again.
What happens
- Rosalie welcomes Miss Grey warmly, but her changed appearance troubles her guest more than the mansion impresses her.
- Miss Grey arranges to eat privately, then admires Rosalie’s furnishings despite initially resisting her desire to impress.
- Rosalie shares family news, describes her London admirers, and says Mr. Weston leaves Horton about a month before the visit.
- Rosalie condemns her mother-in-law’s control and dismisses the possibility that servants’ thoughts or overheard conversations matter.
- Alone until dark, Miss Grey watches the rooks and feels discouraged about her own life and Mr. Weston.
- Rosalie returns, complains about her husband, rejects attempts to reform him, and urges Miss Grey to stay.
