Qui est Charles Musgrove ?
Le mari de Mary, chasseur au bon caractère
Charles Musgrove est l'héritier de la famille Musgrove, propriétaire de la grande maison d'Uppercross, et le mari de Mary, la sœur d'Anne. C'est un jeune homme sympathique, passionné de chasse.
Autrefois, il a demandé Anne en mariage et a essuyé un refus. Il a ensuite épousé Mary, devenant ainsi le beau-frère d'Anne. Souvent dépassé par les exagérations de sa femme, il lui arrive de se plaindre auprès d'Anne. Il sympathise aussitôt avec le capitaine Wentworth et part chasser avec lui.
Le roman s'attarde peu sur les raisons pour lesquelles Anne l'a refusé, mais on devine que Wentworth occupait déjà son cœur.
