Emma, having gone at seventeen directly from her fathers home to her husbands arms is now widowed at the age of twenty--quite naive in the ways of the world, in particular , how to find herself another match. Thus, she proposes to Lord Hansard, eyeing him as a husband who would let her enjoy her freedon and discourage the presence of interfering relatives. He bluntly refuses and takes it upon himself to find a suitable man for her, tho none are nearly as qualified as himself. So in the end even a gentleman has the right to change his mind.
