Ada Westlake is a woman of principles. When Viscount Ashmead asks Ada to marry him for the umpteenth time (and she refuses again), Chas gets drunk and decides to deposit a bagful of money in her trees for Ada to find. Ada is nearly destitute, with a cadre of leeches living with her. They will do nothing to improve the situation (like getting a job) but lean on Ada heavily when she admits that she found money.

Ada spends much of the book trying to find the rightful owner of the funds. This is a rollicking good book, with lots of humor. It is surprising that the author is able to clearly define each character in such a thin tome. Delightful.
