This is a sweet story of two characters that will never be successful in a London drawing room, but are very successful at life. Caro is not beautiful or vivacious, but she is intelligent and can handle most any situation with grace and dignity. Lord Quainton has served his country bravely and still takes care of his family and estate despite his disabilities. They become well known around the area for their walks. It seems everyone expects them to end up together and Lord Quainton almost seems to hope for Caro's hand by default, since he is afraid to ask her how she feels. I love how Caro screws up her courage to go and see him to tell him how she feels and later proves her love. It is nice to see a story about two people who are not impossibly beautiful and successful, they deserve a happy ending too.
