==Synopsis==
[[Farmer]] Samuel Sweetland, a [[widower]] with two daughters, buys a large neighbouring farm that he has coveted all his life. Now convinced that he needs to remarry, he draws up a list of three possible candidates with the assistance of his [[Housekeeper (domestic worker)|housekeeper]] Araminta Grey. They are Louisa Windeatt, a wealthy and spirited [[fox-hunting]] widow; Thirza Tapper, a prim unmarried lady who owns a nearby [[cottage]]; and Mary Hearne, an attractive [[barmaid]] from [[London]].

Meanwhile, Sweetland's daughters, the forceful, coquettish Petronell and the shyer Sibley, have their own romantic entanglements with the young men of the area. Petronell tips her hat at Richard Coaker, only to discover that he is in love with her younger sister, and she finds eventual comfort in the arms of another suitor, George. Sweetland's own courtships go badly as each of the women reject his offer of marriage. Dejected, it is only then that he realises it his faithful housekeeper Araminta whom he really loves.
