Description: Here we see Agnes Grey and Mr. Weston. Agnes was looking for flowers that reminded her of her home, but they were out of her reach. Mr. Weston came up behind her, offering his assistance in reaching the flowers. Agnes worked as a governess for the Murray family, and Mr. Weston was the parson near the Murray manor. Agnes believed that Mr. Weston was in love with Rosalie, but he really loved her. Agnes and Mr. Weston eventually fell in love and got married.
