However, he has too much honor to act on what could only be a dalliance with someone as common as she. His parents expect his future wife to be equal in consequence to one day carry the mantle of countess, and because of a youthful disappointment, he will not risk his heart again.

More than once he extricates her from being manhandled, but his frustration turns to admiration when they are kidnapped and Arabella does not fall into tears.
