The most likely explanation for Mrs. Black's proprietorial references
to her ancient house is that it is, indeed, her ancient house. Both
her maiden name and her married name was Black i.e. she married a
cousin, a quite common occurrence in the tiny, inbred circle in which
she moved. I think the house always belonged to her side of the
family and that Mr. Black merely moved in after they were married, so
the house, in the literal and metaphorical sense, was hers.
