Hero is to be married to Heroine, but misses the wedding because he left London late. She thinks she is jilted and runs away to London to have fun. He finds her there and is surprised that she doesn't just want to marry him. He resolves to convince her to marry him.
So far so good. Heroine is spitting mad - good. Hero realises he was an idiot - good. Hero tries to make Heroine's every dream come true - good. Heroine still refuses to marry Hero - bad.
The character of the hero develops as he realises that he took her for granted and falls in love with her. He tries to make amends.
She, on the other hand, never sees things from his point of view. It's all "oh woe is me I don't want to be married for my money", "oh I want my freedom" etc etc. Shes doesn't stop to consider that maybe he doesn't want to be married only for his title, that he could have told her to go jump ages ago (in fact his friend advised him to find another bride), that he could have forced her hand by telling her father where she is etc. I don't think she was supposed to be a selfish cow, she's nice and polite and witty etc, not shrewish at all, but she certainly comes across that way.
