In a Tuscan piazza after sunset and at the Villa Caprini, a crowd of travellers gathers: an Irish Member of Parliament, fortune-hunters, schemers, invalids and innocents abroad. Lever, who lived for years in Florence, sets their intrigues and accidents in motion and follows them across the continent in a long, crowded social comedy illustrated by Phiz.
