Mr. Card, however, truly loves Maria and has vowed to woo her. Alas, she views him only in friendly terms. But when it seems that Mr. Card's feelings have changed, Maria sets out to discover why. And through a series of unexpected events, Mr. Card succeeds in wooing his wife without saying a word.

This is a lovely short story. It definitely makes more sense if you first read Charlotte Collins by the same author. These stories are delightful for all fans of Jane Austen.
