I like him better than…” I also took pleasure in Freddy’s father, Lord Legerwood with his arch comments, and his daughter Meg, with her appallingly bad taste in fashion.

I love the fantastic combination of comedy, drama, and history in her novels. Kitty hopes this fake betrothal will grant her the London adventure she’s always wanted, as well as teach her negligent suitor, Jack, a well-deserved lesson! What ensues is a whirlwind adventure complete with an abudnance of mishaps, marriages, and hilarity! Penicuik’s nephews (Freddy) stops her from this absurd notion and instead agrees to enter into a sham engagement with her. And unfortunately for Kitty, the one nephew (Jack) she was hoping to bestow her hand upon in marriage, has the audacity to not even show his face! Kitty in desperate straits decides that there is no other recourse except for her to runaway.
Penicuik’s nephews are eager to inherit his fortune and marry his ward, others are not. Poor Kitty Charing is in a terrible fix! Her crotchety and miserly old guardian just informed her that she is to be the sole beneficiary of his fortune and estate, but only if she marries one his nephews.
