There was not a female guest, no matter her age or marital status, who did not keep an eye on the entrance to the ballroom during the evening of Lady Denham's Annual Rout, for it was rumored that the season's most eligible bachelor, Anthony Maitland, Viscount Ivers (notorious as much for his exclusivity as for the fortune he'd made in the Indies), would actually be making an appearance.

Lovely Georgy is a bluestocking with high minded principles and is determined not to marry. Lord Maitland, returning to society after many years, is instantly smitten but can’t get her to accept his suit.
