I don't care much if Lizzie's engagement is broken but I am worried that if it be the case, it might spell tragedy for Lucy and Frank as well. Though Lady Fawn- nice as she is- is doing very well by herself in that quarter. I don't like her interfering between Lucy and Frank.

The whole 'will he or won't he' had my full attention in this chapter. It's certainly an interesting turn of events. I do wonder if both of these marriages will come about though. I want Lucy to be happy and while I think it honourable that Frank after his declaration did offer for Lucy, I am still skeptical about it all. I guess it's John asking Frank to marry Lizzie, is that hint to the future? Or nothing at all

While I feel bad for Lucy, I aslo think her absolutely foolish to be devoted to Frank as she is. As for him, I don't much like him. He says he loves Lucy but won't marry her and then tells her that should he ever marry it would be only for money and position not love. Like wtf is Lucy to do with that. Girl should have dropped his poor ass. Yet the story has only just begun so let's see where this all leads to.

I am glad that almost all the women in this novel can take a measure of Lizzie's true character. Some of the men too but in general they don't see past her beauty and wealth. In a way it's sad too but since Lizzie cares for no one but her self and as we have been told, she isn't a likeable character, I don't feel too bad for her. I wonder if this marriage with Lord Fawn will come off.
