In this Regency novel Quintilla Davenant, though pretty, is lame and lacking in dowry and has consequently been ignored by London society. She loves to dance despite her lameness, and, caught dancing by herself in the library at a ball is swept into a waltz with a handsome stranger. The man, Lord Eysley, is attracted by her wit and forthrightness. He sets out to present her properly to society so that she has a chance to marry respectably, until it dawns on him that he wants her himself. Quintilla and her baron are amusing. An interesting subplot involves Dr. Jenner's efforts to get his vaccination bill passed.
