Notes Plot summary[edit] A wealthy bachelor's affluent sisters, whom
he dislikes, lobby him to give a ball at his own expense for their
daughters' come-out. A distant cousin also asks him to introduce her
attractive younger sister to the ton. To the astonishment of all, he
agrees to give the ball on condition that his encroaching sisters
share it with their unknown cousins. His sisters assume he must be
under the spell of the beautiful younger cousin, whereas it is the
seemingly unremarkable older cousin, encumbered with raising her three
orphaned younger siblings and managing a neglectful older brother, who
has caught his carefully concealed interest. Leading characters[edit]
Male lead: Alverstoke (a Marquis) Female lead: Frederica Merriville
