the Three Barns, Wessex.
The fictitious Three Barns is the scene for which Rex Gascoigne takes Gwendolen to a hounds throw. A hounds throw is a traditional, stuffy, aristocratic British pastime that involves hunting for wild game on horseback with the aid of sporting dogs (Encyclopædia Britannica). This scene was particularly pivotal in Daniel Deronda, for it characterizes Gwendolen as brazen in her anti-conformation to Victorian notions of femininity.
