Townsend returns because Aunt Lavinia mistakenly informs him that Catherine is still interested and invited him to their home. Morris, on the other hand, is a bit of a mystery.... his love affairs have been failures, as have all of hi attempts at business, thus, it seems that Catherine is still a desirable prospect. None-the-less, we never learn the true reason..... was it money.... or love?
