I think he's incredulous that such a thing could happen as it was described. And I'm inclined to agree.
Under what circumstances would she be called "down to tea" on a regular basis, and then spurned the opportunity of having said tea if she's unmarried to the guy in question? Has she moved in with the family on a trial basis?
So many inconsistencies and unanswered questions. Maybe it's the just the way she expressed herself in a moment of unburdening herself, but her ordeal and situation sounds like nothing I've ever heard of my entire life.
