When Roderick Sinclair's wealthy older brother dies and the will is read, Sinclair is dismayed to learn that he's been left only the custody of Fiona, his brother's teenage ward. With only Fiona's good looks and only a bit of money to his name, Sinclair decides to take Fiona to London for the season, in the hopes of marrying her off to a wealthy aristocrat. But how to explain their outdated clothes and residence in a supposedly cursed rental home? Lovely Fiona, who is much smarter than she leads on, lets it slip that her "father" is a wretched miser, who wants to hide his wealth to avoid suitors who are only interested in the Sinclair money.
Again, Chesney/Beaton does a lovely job skewering the London society, while creating a playful and light tale. So much fun!
