There, he blighted his shy sister Meg's chances for happiness by arrogantly forbidding her to see the neighboring lord she longed for, and dashed his brother Virgil's dreams of love by using his wealth and title to claim the incomparably lovely and insatiably ambitious Lady Lucretia Coulter as his own bride-to-be.
