Howards End Chapter 36 Summary

Henry tries to interfere, since Margaret looks so upset, but she won't let him into the house. She openly disobeys him for the first time, and feels like this is a fight of women against men.
The doctor then tries to intervene, saying that Helen might be having a nervous breakdown.
Margaret turns away both of them, saying that she and Helen don't need them – her sister still has a long while before the baby's due.
Margaret appeals to Henry, saying that it's all about love – she cares for Helen, and neither of them do.
The men give in and depart; Henry is confused by all of this, and Margaret tells him she will meet him at Charles and Dolly's.
Margaret goes back into the house, where she confronts Helen.
