Miss Penelope Creed is so desperate to avoid an unwanted marriage that she is caught climbing out of an upstairs window by Sir Richard Wyndham. Wealthy, sophisticated, and absolutely bored out of his mind, Wyndham agrees to escort Pen (still disguised as a boy) to the home of an old friend and playmate. Pen would prefer to marry him over the person her family has chosen. Wyndham decides he'd rather go on an adventure with Pen, than drag himself over to request the hand of a woman who would only be a convenient marriage partner.
Miss Heyer has the opportunity for lots of antics while the two are traveling. I actually listened to this book and the reader was not the best choice for this book. She made the characters sound silly and stupid, not benign and clever. This is one time that reading it would have been preferable to listening. The only character that came across with any sense was Sir Richard.
