Sir Walter Elliot, of Kellynch Hall, was a man who, for his own amusement, never took up any book but the Baronetage; which was a book officially listing the rank and title of "Sir" to the wealthy society in England. Sir Elliot found entertainment for an empty hour, and relaxation in hours of stress. There, his senses were excited by his own love and respect for his self. If he ever felt unwanted feelings, he read his own history with an interest which never failed. The Baronetage was left opened to the page that documented Sir Walter's ancestors, birth, and property ownership. Vanity was the beginning and the end of Sir Walter Elliot's character; love of his person and of his status. He had been remarkably handsome in his youth; and, at fifty-four, was still a very fine man. Sir Walter could not think more of his personal appearance and any assistant of a man with the same title could not be more delighted with his job that gave him a place in society. He considered the blessing of beauty just below the blessing of the title, Baron; and Sir Walter Elliot, who had the gift of both looks and title, was the constant object of his own warmest respect and devotion.
His good looks and his rank had one accomplishment; a wife of superior character, Lady Elliot had been gone for thirteen years. She was an excellent woman, practical and friendly; whose judgement and character gave her the ability needed to devote her marriage to overlook her husband's failings.
Be it known then, that Sir Walter, like a good father, prided himself on remaining single for his dear daughters' sake. For one daughter, his eldest, he would have given up anything, which he had not been tempted to do. Elizabeth had succeeded, at sixteen, to take on the household responsibilities, and the family had gone on together most happily.
Elizabeth did not quite equal her father in self-confidence. The thirteen years since her mother passed away, had taken away her youthful look and given her reasons to regret the number of responsibilities she had. She needed an introduction to a proper man with a title in the next year or remain as the caretaker of Kellynch Hall.
