Item description from seller

First edition, first impression. Some edge wear, chipping, creasing and small loss to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners rubbed with small loss, price clipped, previous owner's gift inscription o ffep, internally clean tight and almost square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 317pp. The Honourable Christopher Fancot on leave from the diplomatic service in the summer of 1817, is startled to find his entrancing but incorrigibly extravagant mother on the brink of financial and social ruin, and more than alarmed to find that his twin Evelyn, has disappeared without trace. Kit is forced into an outrageous masquerade by the tangled affairs of his wayward family, his rigid uncle Lord Brumby, the surprisingly wily Sir Bonamy Ripple, the formidable old Lady Stavely and Evelyn's betrothed, Cressy. But in the face of Evelyn's continues absence, Kit's ingenuity is stretched to the limit. Typical sparkling Georgette Heyer, dedicated to her daughter in law Susie.
