This novel is the revised and improved second edition of The Long Engagement. It tells the story of brother and sister, David and Caroline Mountjoy, who have been brought up separately. They look alike but have few other similarities. When Caroline comes to live with David, he is dismayed to learn she is secretly engaged and disapproves of her even more when she becomes fond of visitor, Roland Pearson; although later, he falls in love with Roland's sister, Edwina. Mrs Maitland of the Mansion House has decided that David shall marry her niece Ophelia Linley and tries to drive Edwina from the area. It seems that neither of the Mountjoys will have a happy love life, but there is more than one startling intervention.
