Apple from Eve, chapter 3

It didn't seem like it at first, but this is a medical plot. I've tagged it accordingly.
Quick synopsis: Euphemia meets Diana, and learns that Tane has accepted a position as a consultant at her hospital. She visits her sister Ellen, who has met a nice curate whom she'll almost certainly marry in the future. A few weeks later, Tane asks Euphemia to accompany Diana to Spain; Diana is recovering from mumps, and wants to get away from everyone. In exchange for this favor, Tane proposes to let Euphemia and her family stay in her house for a month,which is handy because Euphemia's brothers have a holiday coming up.
Diana and Euphemia have a catty exchange, in which Diana remarks that anyone who weighs more than eight stone seems huge to her. Euphemia looks scrawny Diana over and gently comments,"Not really, just normal" (p. 46). So Diana complains to Tane that "anyone would think she [Euphemia] owned the place", and is reminded that Euphemia does. Hee!
Betts gets very referential in this chapter - when she mentions Ellen's curate, Euphemia reflects that "That sort of thing [falling in love with the curate] happened in novels" (p. 53). Two pages later, Euphemia reflects that Diana "was like the Other Woman in a bad novel." I'll ignore the obvious comment here, har-dee-har-har.
