I think the acceptance or refusal.... Written by Reeba (3/11/2011 11:04 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Mr Churchill and Harriet, penned by Kathleen Glancy

will largely depend on Mr Churchill and his state of mind after his wife's death.

Much as he must have been in love with her earlier, her domination and turning him into a hen pecked husband will play a major role in his thinking IMO
His thinking is more important here, even more than the girl he has to accept.IMO

I think this sudden freedom from a burdensome bed ridden
dominating woman might have made him easy in mind.
After all FC was very reluctant to ask his aunt, so there must have been certain points which she was known to object to.
Mr Churchill agreed instantly to Jane Fairfax, inspite of those points.

With Harriet he would probably show reluctance for a long time only to give in reluctantly on FC's insistance. I get the feeling he actually loves him more than his aunt, after all he's his sister's son.
