<P> The following chapter picks up with Lyndall having returned from boarding - school . Em shares her news, but is surprised to discover that Lyndall seems unmoved, even pitying . A little later, Lyndall accompanies Waldo as he performs his chores about the farm . It is here that Schreiner inserts something of a Feminist Manifesto--she discourses at length upon her experiences at school, and rails at the limited status that Society expects of her as a Woman . Waldo is her foil--he asks trenchant questions of her which lead to still further expositions . With some irony, Lyndall ends her diatribe with the observation that Waldo is the only person with whom she can converse--others simply bore her . </P> <P> With Tant Sannie engaged to yet another husband, a Boer - wedding is planned . Gregory takes some time off to write another letter, in which he apparently denigrates Lyndall and her independent ways . From the tone of the letter, however, it is clear that Gregory somehow finds Lyndall fascinating . </P> <P> At the Wedding, Gregory contrives excuses to be near Lyndall, she acknowledges him, but appears diffident . It is evident that Gregory is now deeply infatuated with Lyndall . For her part, when Lyndall finds herself in need of company, she seeks out Waldo and again converses with him beneath the stars . However, when Gregory offers to take her back to the farm, she unexpectedly accepts his invitation . Waldo drives Em home, where, we are told, she sits in the dark . </P> <P> Some time passes, and Waldo has decided to leave the farm to find work . Em says her goodbyes, and then seeks out Gregory . She finds him at his usual occupation: with Lyndall, pretending to read a newspaper . Lyndall hardly acknowledges him . Once Lyndall leaves, Em tells Gregory that she wants to end their engagement . Gregory half - heartedly attempts to change her mind, but quickly agrees . He leaves Em, whistling to himself . </P>
