The hero has women continually trying to trap him into marriage.They "lose" their chaperones and throw themselves at him (usually wuth their mothershiding nearby to pop out and catch him.  He evades the entrapments by climbing out windows, jumping inlakes,...  He feels he is getting too old for this and hasthe novel idea of hiring a chaperone to come tohis recue when a young lady tries to compromise him.  This is light-heartedhumor.  He and his chaperone are likeable.  Ultimately, the hero and hischaperone are caught in a compromising situation: the hero's motherintentionally come upon them -- she is eager to have him marry.  The hero and the heroineare happy, the mother is happy that the son will finally marry, and thein a subplot, the younger brother is happy becoming engaged toone of the debutante's trying to compromise his older brother.A pleasant read.
