This is a story about class and love. The evils that visit the children of fathers that ignore their children. A belief that one is better because of social position and the lies and deceit to reach their aspired goals. Lady Isabel wants to learn music like her mother, but her father's grief won't allow music in the house. He relents when she agrees to marry this season if she is allowed to take pianoforte lessons. Her aunt hires Mr. Davenport, son number five of a Duke who chooses to teach music while writing his own compositions. These two fall in love over the music and he even writes a composition for her. He tries to court someone else, knowing she is above his station while a Marquess tries to court Lady Isabel. He only put her off because of his arrogant and belittling behavior. The two main characters are wonderful and the father learns a very painful lesson about withholding affection and forcing his child to obey him. A father has to learn what makes his child happy, and what will pain her to the point of misery.
