First impressions are often misleading. Initially, Aldrich worries he's given a sanctuary to a pickpocket, but he later realizes Victoria Hawksley isn't a thief. It's actually worse than that. She's a bluestocking with a temper, an acid tongue, and sapphire eyes. Victoria is grateful to the handsome stranger for saving her. If only they hadn't met on her absolutely worse day ever. Maybe then he'd be impressed with her.
