I really enjoyed this one. It had a kind of standard Heyer plot, though the romantic lead is a bit more of a bad boy than usual; but it struck me as funnier than the others. Here is an older lady, about who she comments: “Time had done more to enlarge her body than her mind,” and . .. provided she was not expected to put herself out for them, or to do anything disagreeable, she was both kind and generous to her friends.”
Or perhas I was just in the mood for Heyer. Apparently I am on a real kick in 2019, and I blame is all on Bognor Regis.
