My Lady Peggy Goes to Town

A lively comic-romance follows a spirited young noblewoman at Kennaston Castle whose mischievous wit, twinship with her brother, and impatience with fickle suitors propel her from country amusements into town. She provokes and teases lovers, juggles rival attentions, and becomes enmeshed in episodes of disguise, flirtation, and genteel satire—encounters that range from fashionable assemblies to a dramatic highway-side incident. Family finances and social fashion provide backdrop to episodic scenes of comedy and romance that end in a sharp reversal: a romantic separation that leaves one suitor broken-hearted while she is overwhelmed and swoons.
