Lady Penelope Brading has ideas of her own, and she has suitors to match: a V.C. captain of the Guards ordered to read poetry, a financier, a poet who abhors bulldogs and motor-cars, a French marquis and an artist. She puts each of them through comic trials of character, mocking society, politics and art as she goes.
A light Edwardian satire of courtship; some of its jokes about the Jewish financier reflect the prejudices of 1905. Download the free EPUB.
