Fitzwilliam abhors the idea of marriage. He is dismayed to hear that Addie has rejected other suitors -- on his account, he assumes -- a practice that must be stopped straightaway! But when he arranges to meet Addie to discuss the matter, he realizes that she is no longer the girl he remembers from childhood, and now, his awakening heart is forever lost...
