""Look Before You Leap, Or Wooings And Weddings: A Comedy In Five Acts"" is a play written by George William Lovell and first published in 1846. The play tells the story of two young couples who are trying to navigate the complexities of courtship and marriage in Victorian England.

However, Emily is in love with a young man named Frank, who is not of the same social status as Lord Tinsel.
