Also, for some reason, they think it's more romantic or apt to call it by Love in a Cold Climate. Love in a Cold Climate is always combined with The Pursuit of Love in adaptations for the simple reason that the events are actually concurrent with the previous volume. Love takes many forms, and it doesn't matter if it's odd or unconventional, love is what matters. Lady Montdore has spent her life planning for her daughter to have 'all this.' Yet, when the truth comes out as to the long game Polly has been playing, 'all this' doesn't even enter into it. Lady Montdore continually has Fanny as her own 'spy' hoping that Fanny can detect a glimmer of love within her daughters cold heart. Polly will play the part but her heart will never enter into it. She doesn't want her mother constantly hoping for her to fall into a mad passion, even arraigning for notorious French seducers to ply their trade on Polly. Sadly, her friend Fanny fills her in, that indeed, daydreams of love fill most hearts even far away from India. By it, she means love and the affairs of the heart.

Polly Hampton was hoping that upon her family's return from India that she would reach the cold climate of England and that everyone would be more refined and not at it all the time.
