If  Pauline only saw the last episode then the "mansion" she refers to must  
surely be the site of "consummation" on the night before Tess's  
arrest.  Hardy didn't entitle this section "Fulfilment" for nothing.  Nor, 
surely, would the cleaner have scurried away feeling she'd witnessed  a most 
tender love scene had there been no  intimacy?



Presumably the consummation took place five nights, not one, before  Tess's 
arrest as Hardyy says she and Angel spent five days at the deserted  mansion, 
departing only when they realised  that the caretaker had  discovered their 
presence.
