Crossing the Simplon by sled in March, a party of English travellers is struck by an avalanche, and the impulsive Minnie is rescued by a loud, boastful American calling himself the Baron. In Italy rescues multiply, suitors compete, a crater of Vesuvius and a mysterious ‘mad wife’ complicate matters, and blunders pile up chapter by chapter.
