I generally like Heyer, but I confess I found this boring. The heroine of the piece, Miss Wychwood (Annis) is on her way to her home in Bath when she comes across a young couple whose gig has broken a wheel. On a whim Annis takes the young lady (Lucilla) into her carriage and discovers that she's running away because her parents are trying to pressure her into marrying a childhood friend. (To complicate matters the man she doesn't want to marry (Ninian) is the one who's helping her run away because he doesn't want to marry her either.) It gets complicated even more in a typically Heyer kind of way when Annis, a twenty nine year old spinster who considers herself on the shelf, meets Lucilla's grumpy guardian. You can probably guess the ending. But, oh, it seemed interminably slow. Not one of my favourite Heyers.
