When her dying grandfather, the Earl of Malvern, orders Kate Byford and her aunt to London after ignoring her all her life, she is highly indignant, but obeys. Angry though she is, Kate is sorry for him when they meet. However, Kate is less willing to obey his other edict, that she marries his heir, Adam Rhydd, with whom she had an embarrassing encounter during her journey to London. She is horrified when the Earl dies, leaving her a huge inheritance provided she marries Adam, and furious when Adam sends her to an academy for young ladies, where she is to learn how to behave. Determined to escape, she embroils various friends in her attempts, but Adam, as reluctant as Kate is to obey the Earl's bidding, continually foils her.

Her parents were wealthy, and Sylvie determines to go to Norfolk and confront him. Meanwhile her friend Celia invites Sylvie to London where her aunt, Lady Carstairs, is to present her. Aubrey Fortescue--young, romantic, and impressionable--falls in love with Sylvie, which annoys his older cousin. Sir Randal determines to foil any offer, as Aubrey is too young for marriage, and he is suspicious of Sylvie after seeing her with a Frenchman. Meanwhile Dupont is suspected of illiciting rebellion and spying for Napoleon. While following Dupont--who could be passing messages through smugglers--Sir Randal meets Sylvie in Norwich on her way to see Sir George. He offers her a lift, and becomes embroiled in her affairs.</div> </div></p>
