Ingerfield Marriage Plot and A Cold Social Bargain
John Ingerfield resolves to marry for a profitable social match. He selects Anne Singleton, daughter of Sir Harry Singleton, a woman with consent to a marriage of convenience. Anne accepts a life of luxury without romantic love, and the couple live as distant strangers in a grand Bloomsbury home as the market and social aims drive their union.
