Summary
Tom Hayward and Mary Bennet were very happy to be engaged, even if the Gardiners had decided that they had to be chaperoned at all times now.
But it was quite fine, they were going to be married in a few weeks, they could tolerate it and behave themselves. Couldn’t they?

Summary
The Gardiners make the match.
It is not love at first sight, or second, or third.
It is love that comes later - in the accumulation of shared steps and conversations in the dark. In a stranger becoming, without your noticing, the first person you want to tell things to.
In having the deeply inconvenient realisation, somewhere in your marriage, that you have a crush on your spouse.
OR: Mary and Tom have a regency era marriage of convenience

Summary
It's commonly understood that every respectable lady should know the basics of marital intimacy; men, on the other hand, are understood to have every right to explore these responsibilities even before marriage. Mary has educated herself on such intimacy, but she's still certain that Thomas knows exactly what to do on their honeymoon.
Right?
