Tess finally agrees to marry Angel, even in light of the past that still haunts her. She cannot bring herself to tell Angel of her event with Alec, or where her lineage is derived from. As the chapter progresses, it builds up at her more and more. He is delighted she is of nobility, as this will make her more appealing to his parents, but that she lost her virginity is something she cannot disclose.
Again this shows the inner struggle between Tess' love of Angel, and her shameful past. The fact that Angel's family is unaccepting of her only makes it worse. Whether or not she has characteristics of nobility, that she comes from a poor family and how she may be seen what tainted Angel to live on the farm in the first place, will continue to be an external struggle.
