Sir James Martin is a character in Lady Susan. He is silly, impertinent, and disagreeable, but rich. While visiting Langford, Lady Susan Vernon detached him from Maria Mainwaring in order to fix his interest with her daughter Frederica.[1] Frederica, however, refused to marry him, and Lady Susan sent her to school until she changed her mind.
Sir James later arrived unannounced at Churchhill and proposed to Frederica again, but she was able to get help from Reginald De Courcy to prevent an engagement. He later married Lady Susan.
