He finds himself In trouble with the law and is taken to a correction centre. Despite the fact that Fanny’s parents told her not to get involved with clergymen, for they don’t earn enough money, Fanny still goes out of her way to help Mr Drummer. His name is Dominic Drummer, who is a clergyman. This helped them to realise that you can still be successful without getting married.Īlso in this novel, we discover who Fanny really enjoys dancing with. However, through this book, Fanny and Anna’s attitude towards marriage change as they find out that their own aunt was not married herself.

I think that the author shows how much the majority of people have much more knowledge now then they did 200 years ago. Fanny and Anna attend these balls to dance with different people (some more boring than others) in order to find a husband who can reach their families high expectations of wealth. Along with her cousin Anna, they venture across different parts of England, attending the most fanciest of balls.
