More well-developed characters from Richardson

Plot summary: "I will never marry!" Lady Caroline Waverly was but a girl when she vowed to remain unmarried, and even as a lovely young woman, she refuses to change her mind. Why should she? She is mistress of her own estate, and needs no man to support her. She has passionate, intellectual pursuits that a man would only mock. Let the handsome and gallant Lord Nicholas Daventry find his perfect match in the dazzling Countess Lavinia Welham. Caro would not dream of trying to best such a bewitching creatures -- until she finds the voice of reason drowned out by the longings of her heart...What distinguishes Richardson from most Regency authors (and indeed from most romance authors) is the development of the relationship between the two main characters. In this case, Caro and Nicholas are both interesting, well-educated, intelligent people, and the development of their friendship and love is well-written and thoughtful.
