Apple from Eve, chapter 6

This is one of my days off, but I worked for literally ten hours. So this will be very brief, because my head's a bit muzzy.
Euphemia is in love with Tane, and he kisses her and calls her "Phemie" (memo to self: write a post about the names Betts chooses for her heroines!). Diana doesn't know about the kiss, but she realizes that Euphemia is competition. Diana invites Euphemia on an outing with Tane and Diana, so that Euphemia can see Diana mark her territory, as it were; Tane seems uninterested in Diana's increased demonstrativeness. (Query: is "demonstrativeness" a word? Heavens, I must go to sleep!)
On the way back to England, Tane takes the women back to his home in the Netherlands. It's very similar to every other house that a Dutch hero owns - basically, a stately home (this one's 17th-century) with servants and manicured lawns. Tane's parents are there to greet everyone - predictably, Euphemia enjoys their company and is charmed by the house as it is, but Diana is bored by Tane's parents and planning to put modern furniture (gasp!) into the house. They're like Goofus and Gallant, honestly.
