Cynthia confirms her middle-aged spinsterhood by donning a cap and taking in a stray kitten she calls Teacup. But no sooner has she done so, than a man literally falls at her feet. Not in adoration, it must be admitted, but because he is deathly ill. So in comes her second stray, a person her cook describes as that dirty old tramp. She gently nurses him back to health, and once he is cleaned up, the dirty old tramp is revealed as a handsome young gentleman at least ten years younger than she. She falls in love, of course, knowing full well it can come to nothing. She is too old, and it turns out he has a secret that will utterly change his life. But though it n'er runs smooth, true love will find a way. In GL Robinson's witty and appealing Regencies, it always does.
