But alas, Sir Walter's vanity is his undoing. He refuses to use his spectacles and so sends a Valentine to the wrong Lady Catherine. What a disaster!That is, until Sir Walter gets a look at the woman's grand estate.Will the man's good looks and powers of persuasion be enough to win Lady Catherine de Bourgh's hand? Will a Valentine blunder lead to a match between two of Jane Austen's worst snobs?
