Now, the couple, whose flirtation flies in the face of the sense and sensibility of the age, is faced with a terrible dilemma. His intellect and arrogance raise her ire, then knock her head over heels. But when Jane meets the roguish and decidedly non-aristocratic Tom Lefroy (James McAvoy), sparks soon fly along with the sharp repartee. Wisley (Laurence Fox), nephew to the very formidable, not to mention very rich, local aristocrat Lady Gresham (Dame Maggie Smith), as a prospective match. Naturally, her parents are searching for a wealthy, well-appointed husband to assure their daughter's future social standing.
