Miss Penelope Prestwick wants a duke for a husband and clearly the dashing Duke of Edenham is the best choice. Just as Lady Dalby is clearly the best person to arrange the match. But how exactly should Penelope go about dazzling a duke? Surely a show of cleavage never hurt anyone. Perhaps a kiss or two, just to make a lasting impression. And a bit of competition usually helps move things along.
To that end, Penelope approaches the Marquis of Iveston with a request. Would he kindly appear interested in her so that the Duke of Edenham will take note of it? Alternately amused and annoyed, Lord Iveston agrees; he even places a wager on White's betting book to draw attention to the fact that he is pursuing Penelope.
Soon, it's wagers and counter wagers as all of Society tries to determine who will actually marry Penelope. Edenham sheโs been hotly pursuing or Iveston sheโs been hotly kissing? Who will claim the ladyโs heart...all in all itโs the most entertainingโand most contested--dance to the altar Sophia has yet choreographed.
