Summary

Mellie Smithson is trapped in the country with no suitors and no prospects on the horizon except, perhaps, the exasperating - although admittedly handsome - guest of her father. Unwilling to settle, Mellie will do anything to escape to London.

Trevor Anaedsley's grandfather has cut off his funds until he gets engaged. Beset by creditors, Trevor escapes to the country - ostensibly to visit his old tutor, Mr. Smithson - where he meets Smithson's lovely daughter, Mellie. The obvious solution is suddenly before him. But will this fake engagement go as Trevor and Mellie plan? Or will they find that even the best laid plans often go awry?

Contains mature themes.

Profile Image for DAVID G ROGERS

Why didn't the narrator look up how to pronounce words she didn't know?

The story was somewhat silly, but that's forgivable because funny ... and the passion very graphic. But why didn't the narrator spend a few seconds looking up how to pronounce words she didn't know, such as 'de trop'? Very grating.
