'My aunt said in future I should be called Charity,'said Cherry Steane pathetically,'to keep me in mind of the fact that that is what I am - a charity girl.' Lord Desford's chivalrous instincts are instantly aroused,and,in spite of support from Miss Henrietta Silverdale,his childhood playmate and best of friends,and from his irrepressible younger brother Simon,he finds himself in a rare case of pickles,in which he is baulked by Cherry's lickpenny grandfather and her rascally,worthless father,and from which he is finally delivered by the timely intervention of Henrietta's worthy suitor,Cary Nethercott.
Heyer's latest (then 1970) lighthearted and highly entertaining novel,proving that she is a ever 'up to all the rigs'.
