    Mary criticised Mr. Pomeroy for constantly talking about horses, riding daily and practising shooting. She expressed confusion about why some men love horses more than people, implying such behaviour was strange. These comments were rude and judgmental, especially in a social setting. Unaware that Mrs. Lee’s brother had similar interests and had even moved to Lanfield for them, Mary unintentionally offended her. This was yet another instance of Mary speaking thoughtlessly, making the situation more uncomfortable.

    Mrs. Lee quietly stated that her brother enjoys the same activities Mary criticised—riding horses and practising shooting. Her composed reply revealed she was slightly hurt by Mary’s insensitive comment but chose to respond gracefully. It was clear Mary’s generalisation had again hit a personal note. Mrs. Lee’s polite reaction, like earlier moments, served to highlight the difference between Mary’s bluntness and the guests’ ability to maintain civility even when insulted.

    To signal that it was time to leave, Mrs. Harding looked at Mrs. Lee and said, “It’s getting a little late. We must go now.” Her polite words masked the discomfort caused by Mary’s repeated inappropriate remarks. Though she didn’t directly express displeasure, her tone and timing made it clear that the conversation had become too awkward to continue. This moment reflected her tact and grace, choosing to end the visit respectfully despite the tension.

    In her final blunder, Mary reversed her mother’s suggested goodbye phrase and mistakenly said, “Must you stay? Can’t you go?” instead of the polite, “Must you go? Can’t you stay?” This unfortunate slip completely changed the meaning, sounding rude and dismissive. It ended the visit on an awkward note and deeply embarrassed her mother, Mrs. Shaw. Despite all her earlier confidence, Mary failed to remember even the basic polite phrase she had practised.
