El rico y arrogante Sylvester, duque de Salford, está pensando en casarse, naturalmente un matrimonio de conveniencia que le asegure una esposa capaz de cuidar de su sobrino huérfano y atender a su madre viuda. Con tal propósito acude a Austerby a comprobar si una de las seis posibles candidatas, la joven Phoebe Marlow, cumple sus exigentes requisitos. Pero cuando la inquieta Phoebe, cuya principal virtud parece ser la inteligencia, huye rápidamente al enterarse de la llegada del duque, éste se siente intrigado.
Thanks to the antics of Sir Nugent Fotherby and the histrionics of Lady Ianthe, the flight to France is hands down the most amusing section of the novel. (An adorable dog helps add to the fun.) But Sylvester has several other delights as well: the thoroughly platonic relationship between Phoebe and Tom (watched with slight suspicion by some, even if the mere thought of romance there causes both of them to laugh); a series of increasingly ludicrous characters; and one of the richer romances Heyer had written for some time.
