Nicolette Pritchard
Nicolette is his wife. They had met in a ball similar to the one thrown by the Whittenbys and he feels grateful that she agreed to spend her life with him. He thought she was the most stunning debutante and has always been more of the 'catch' between the two of them. She says that she adores him as well. According to Dowager Ashbourne, he worships the ground his wife walks on, even if she doesn't deserve it. According to Marquess Huntsbury, he is the one who is titled and thus when they married, she became a baroness through him.
