if he was a nice man

I don't think they had governesses in that area and in that time. People would have talked about a man and woman living under the same roof without being married. It really would not have been appropriate then.

There was no social convention.for a governess at the time who was a pregnant widow. It was impossible. A governess must be paid as well. Clark had to marry her. There was no other option. Had it not worked out, an annulment could have been obtained.
