from
Wikipedia
Miss Western is the cultured sister of Squire Western and Sophia's aunt.
Although unmarried herself, she recognises the signs of love and notices that Sophia is showing these.
She informs her brother that his daughter is in love with Blifil — Miss Western had noted Sophia's behaviour in his presence — and Squire Western informs Allworthy when he visits for dinner.
Allworthy says he will give his approval if the young couple agree and consults Blifil who, thinking of Sophia's fortune, agrees to his uncle's request.
( No one knows of Sophia's love for Tom.
) Miss Western then speaks to Sophia to reveal her amour, and is enraged when she finds out it is not Blifil but Tom.
