I think that Tony has been my favorite character in the book. I liked in the scenes that introduced Grunlich that Tony had enough insight to know that she didn't love him and to recognize that he was telling her parents exactly what they "wanted to hear" in his attempts to gain their consent. As you keep reading you will see what becomes of that match and what his true motives were. I don't want to reveal too much for you. As the book continues Tony does repeat often that she is no longer a silly little goose and that she now knows a little something about life and the world. She is strongly influenced by what she considers her "duty to the firm" and that affects the outcome of whether or not she continues to be a victim of life's circumstances.
