James and Violet married 2 days after they were caught kissing on the balcony at his engagement party. He claimed to have mistaken Violet for her friend and his fiancée Marie Frederick, but the damage was done and they were to be married. She overheard James telling his Uncle Richard the day after their marriage that he expects them to carry on with their separate lives and their marriage to be one of pretence. Violet is heartbroken and confronts him. She discovers that he does not love her. She spends the next 6 years travelling the world, making new friends and growing as a person. James has also grown up during this time, He wants their marriage to be a proper one.   The will stipulates that they must live together as man and wife for three years without any scandal, rumours or gossip.
