The bridegroom, whose surname (from French "aplomb") signals his touchy self-importance; his wounded pride over a dowry shortfall drives the story's second-part scandal.
Reading notes
- Marriage for Convenience (a novel in two parts) §24 the bridegroom, Aplombov
The groom, whose surname (from French "aplomb," self-assured poise) is a comic label for a man whose touchy, self-important dignity is punctured the moment his dowry comes up short.
