I grabbed this one for a short sweet trip back to regency England. It was certainly short. The plot is reasonable though a little implausible. Wealthy titled gentleman falls in love but fails to tell the object of his desire that he loves her when offering marriage. She refuses because she loves him and doesn't want to share him with the many mistresses she believes she has but almost in the next breath she is his mistress. It's quite a nice story but I just felt it could do with more rounding out. Some of the dialogue seemed contrived and things just didn't flow as well as I thought they could and in a way I felt there were too many ideas being tossed into what was a really short story. Still for a couple of hours of reading this one is OK.
