If you're going for historical accuracy, I suppose she might well choose the person who (a) had made a firm offer and (b) was well-off. But it isn't very romantic if that's the main reasoning for her making such a marriage and it would seem rather hypocritical of her to think less well of Harry for planning on marrying for money if that's what she ends up doing herself. And if she's not sure how she feels about Lieutenant Jones either, I don't think she should marry him.<BR/><BR/>So I think one possibility is that something happens to clarify her feelings one way or another. Or maybe she could agree to be engaged to Harry and only realise after he's left how much she truly cares for him? Or she could marry Harry, go off to Spain with him, then realise that he'd lied and in fact Miss Chesterfield had very good reasons for not marrying him. She will then long for Lieutenant Jones, but she can only marry him after lots of trials and tribulations and after Harry dies in action.<BR/><BR/>I'm no help at all. I've just gone through the same list of options you already offered. Sorry. Maybe some more decisive readers will come along.Laura Vivancohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00906661869372622821noreply@blogger.com
