Please, explain this sentence to me: " When the Freudian doctrine of complexes and inhibitions came in, younger members of the f

amily, such as Violet, given to pastels, Christopher, inclining to the stage, and Maud Dartie, nothing if not daring, would speculate on what had happened to Aunt Hester before she was as she was", especially this part: "Violet, given to pastels, Christopher, inclining to the stage". What did author really want to say about Violet and Christopher? It's from Galsworthy's novel "Hester’s Little Tour". This phrase sounds extremely out of place to me. Why would he talk about their personal treats in a sentence dedicated to a strangeness of Hester?
I'm a non-native English speaker, so the more detailed your explanation will be, the better. Thanks in advance!

Hello there!

<span>"Violet, given to pastels," = Violet likes to paint or is a painter.
"Christopher, inclining to the stage" = Christopher likes to be on the stage or is an actor. 
I believe this is what the author was saying about Christopher and Violet.

Hope I helped!</span>

Pastels are drawings, and I believe Aunt Hester has something to do with the drawing. 
To answer "what did author really want to say about Violet and Chris", i would say that Violet is trying to draw Chris (violet, given to pastels literally means drawing, while Chris is the person Violet is drawing).
But im not sure, but i think that Aunt Hester wants Violet to draw Chris, or she is just watching them.


hope this helps

I run a flower shop that I've sustained for over 10 years now, I enjoy my job as I know a myriad amount of flower definitions and meanings from my youth making me knowledgeable in this field of work. Due to my age catching up, I am currently training a new worker who's not as knowledgeable with flowers as I, but understands enough meanings to work here and is good at understanding what people want despite being quite a naivete and a bit of a pushover always giving the clients what they want. They’re full of ideas and always pioneering new methods and ways to sell the flowers to our customers, yet they're modest about their creative skills.

Today a young man came in to request an assortment of bouquets for a funeral. As I unloaded the new batch of Queen Anne's flowers, I overheard the trainee asking "What type of flowers would you like to be in the bouquet sir" the customer responded with "What flowers would be good for a funeral" unsurprisingly the worker responded knowingly with "Well white papaver is lovely due to their meaning of remembrance and we just received a fresh batch of red spider lilies which express final goodbyes if you'd like those."

The man solemnly asked for a batch showing their stark and bare emotions towards the grim situation showing, after paying the price and departing the employee got straight to work. However, after examining the first bouquet they undid it and completely changed the structure of the look along with adding an extra flower to the blend. It was basically hypocrisy to the original design, and though I grew curious, this was not the first time this had happened within the short amount of time I had worked with them. I knew to let them do as they pleased with the art they created at this point.

The next morning when the same customer came in to pick up the flowers they were shocked to see how they came out compared to what they requested. The employee had made hooped bouquets with the flowers they asked for along with adding a third one. "I hope this will do fine, I just thought this design suited it better" the customer didn't seem displeased which I took as a win, considering the audacity it took to pull a bold scheme for such an important event. "Are those baby's breath flowers," he asked "No" was the response "While having a similar appearance baby's breath, these are Queen Anne's lace expressing healing and I thought they helped to embodied the look I was going for to make them as nice as possible for the mournful occasion, after all, funerals are more for the living and the dead“.

With a heartfelt and mournful stare, he thanked the employee and reached for his wallet to pay for the extra flowers, the worker fused about it being on the house and then proceeded to help carry the hoop bouquets to the customer's car before we both waved goodbye. As we walked back I casually stated "I hope you know you’re paying for those flowers you gave for free" this not being the first time the naive employee had done this, they gave a rushed nod before hurting back to work.

(Hope this is fine, I tried to meet all the marks but you should checked just in case)
