However, he has his darkest days to go through before he can expect to achieve any happiness. And he yet might end up on the scaffold instead of in the arms of the woman he loves. Sophia finds herself the centre of attention. A lord wants her hand in marriage, but her father has promised her to Blifil, whom she detests. Even her refined aunt wants her to marry someone who will give her the fortune she deserves, rather than the love she strives for. Tom and Sophia have a way to go, but on the way they meet a dazzling array of characters and experience life in a London teeming with life and fun
