Quote #1
To get away from the house...she must get away from the house and everybody. The wood was her one refuge, her sanctuary (3.2)
If we were stuck in a house with a bunch of pretentious dudes all day, we'd want to get away, too. There's nothing like being surrounded by people you have nothing in common with to make you feel like you're better off holing up in a hut somewhere.
Quote #2

Quote #3
Again he looked into her eyes, with that calm, searching detached glance. A man very much alone, and on his own. (6.75)
