Lady Elizabeth Wycliffe was the lady-in-waiting of Squire Dafydd Jones, who known her her since they were children. As an adult, Lady Elizabeth was also courted by Jones and Lord Sir Anthony Marshall, which produced stiff competition between the two men. On the way home, Lady Elizabeth surprised her father by announcing her intent to marry Jones, especially after she saw how he valued Harold and the workmen who perished in the explosion over the complete loss of the copper mine and the steam engine. Jones reminded Elizabeth of her father in that instant.
