John Durbeyfield, a "haggler" and a drunk, is weaving his way one afternoon towards the pub when he meets the village priest, Parson Tringham. The priest informs him that his family has distinguished ancestry. They are descended from the d'Urbervilles, a wealthy, though now extinct, clan. Forced by family hardship to seek support from these newly discovered "relatives", Tess falls under the spell of her manipulative cousin Alec with shocking and lasting consequences.
