Lady Henrietta Anne Clifford smiles and she answers, “ I would love to dance.”
‘Am I the first gentleman to ask you to dance this evening?” Lord Richard William asks.
“Why yes. The young men prefer the young women with blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin.” Lady Henrietta Ann tells him.
“I think you are pretty.” Lord Richard William tells her.
“Why thank you, Lord Carey.’ Lady Henrietta Ann answers.
“Lord Richard William. I am only the daughter of a baron.” Lady Henrietta Anne tells him, “ The young men here are looking to court and marry a Duke or Earl’s daughter.”
“My grandfather is the Duke of Bedford Territory.” Lord Richard William tells Lady Henrietta Anne.
“My great-grandmother was Lady Sophia Charlotte Howard, the only daughter of Lord Frederick William Howard and my second cousin twice removed is Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR.” Lord Richard William explains.
“My great-great-great-grandfather was Lord Patrick William Howard and Lord Phillip Carey.’ Lord Richard William Carey tells her.
“I am afraid I don’t come from such a noble family.” Lady Henrietta Ann states.

“It didn’t stop you.” Lord Richard William tells her.
“I wasn’t born into the aristocracy and I don’t adhere to their rules.” Lady Karissa states, “ I listen and follow my heart.’
“It is one of the best things about being born a commoner and we listen to our hearts and let them lead us.” Lady Karissa tells Lord Richard .
“I am glad you did.” Lord Richard William tells Lady Karissa.

“You know Lord Richard William, there is a song called “How Could I Know from the Secret Garden and I will just sing some of the lyrics to you.”
How could I know I would have to leave you?
How could I know I would hurt you so?
You were the one I was born to love
Oh, how could I ever know?
How could I ever know?
How can I say to go on without me?
How, when I know you still need me so?
How can I say not to dream about me?
How could I ever know?
How could I ever know?
Forgive me, can you forgive me?
And hold me in your heart
And find some new way to love me
Now that we're apart?
How could I know I would never hold you?
Never again in this world
But oh, sure as you breathe I am there inside you
How could I ever know?
How could I ever know?” Lady Karissa sings.
Finally,both Lord Richard William Carey and Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard nee Lowell learn to love once again after they lost their first loves
