An entertaining collection of stories.  While none of the four stories is perfect, together they make great escapist fare.  The fourth story is the weakest of the collection as it deals with time travel, a subject which really needs a longer format to carry out with any justice.  Given the abbreviated format of an anthology, each story moves along at a blistering speed which can seem a little frantic at times.  The first tale, the story of two people thrown together in search of a missing wedding ring, had the most entertaining H/h in Hen and Jack.  They might have been able to carry off a full-length book on their own.  The second tale is a slightly tired rehash of the old Cyrano plot which is only saved by the Hero Lord Bruton as he presents himself as a most interesting person.  The third story, a case of mismatched couples, is also saved by the strongly entertaining character of Cleopatra.  The fourth tale, the time travel, really needed more time for character development.  Still, I read it in one sitting as it was a fun and easy read and I enjoyed the interplay of the characters from all the stories as they all experienced the Duke's wedding.
