powder and patch Author:georgette heyer "Handsome, manly Philip Jettan felt only contempt for sissified Regency dandies. Their elaborate wigs, powdered faces, satin clothes and mincing walks repulsed him. But pretty Cleone wanted no part of any man who wasn't in the very height of fashion. And Philip would do anything for her love- even beat the dandies at their own detestable game."
The heroine is so ditzy and flighty that its very hard to understand why the gentleman is still interested in her. No character development was spent on the girl - unusual for a Heyer.
