Jones, Richard

リチャード・ジョーンズ

Richard Jones serves as William's strict father. He is acutely aware of his standing within the class hierarchy—wealthy, certainly, but possessing "new money" acquired through business achievements rather than "old money" passed down from aristocratic forebears. Although he seeks to bridge this gap by arranging for William to "marry up," he harbors zero tolerance for the notion of Emma "marrying up" into his household. This stance persists despite certain uncomfortable truths regarding his own past.
