I

James Moreland's heart was greatly wounded by Isabella Thorpe that spring. By the fall, he had found another young lady to love. Unfortunately, he has not learned to distrust John Thorpe. Meanwhile, Matilda Murray, now twenty, is brought to Oxford to find a good match. Although she has ample choice, she finds amusement in only two gentlemen in town.

A crossover sequel between Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey and Anne Bronte's Agnes Grey.
