After her mother seeks the author Lady Heathcote's advice for her daughters' low marriage prospects, the protagonist is relocated to Heathcote's Finishing School, where she learns the art of manipulation for female advancement. Having become an adept of this skill, the author provokes a potential marriage proposal from a suitor whose genuine interest in her forces her to confront her manipulative mindset.
