Lady Larkspur Declines
Lady Larkspur's parents decide that her sharp tongue and temper which matches her fiery hair will keep her from ever getting married, so, they insist she accept a marriage proposal from Lord Raeburn, a very much older distant cousin. Lark does not want to marry and concocts a plan. Raeburn will not want her if she cannot have children. She pretends she is very ill and figures if she stays ill long enough, Raeburn will find someone else.
