{{work}}

 

After Richard Hale, a minister, leaves the Church of England, the Hale family moves from the genteel South of England to the industrial North. The story deals with clashes between the cultures of North and South, the workers and their masters, and between protagonist Margaret Hale and the wealthy local factory owner John Thornton.

* [[Romantic False Lead]]: Henry Lennox for Margaret, and Sally Latimer for Thornton. Henry Lennox wanders into [[Romantic Runner-Up]] territory though, he has a bit more character, and is led up the garden path a little.

* [[Spirited Young Lady]]: Margaret.

* [[Train Station Goodbye]]: Mr Thornton misinterprets Margaret's clandestine goodbye to her brother as this.
