When the stern Earl finally notices his shy bride-to-be…
Lady Jane dreads her scheduled visits with the stodgy Earl. Like clockwork, her fiancé shows up in her drawing room, glowers at her until she quakes, and then takes his leave when a quarter hour has passed.
On one hand, Janes grateful he doesnt wish to spend more time with her. His company makes her miserable, and their engagement is a far cry from the romantic tales she loves to read. But his disregard for her has made Jane a laughingstock amongst her peers, and shes more than a little peeved to be marrying a man who cant be bothered to know her.
