"- 'Have you any brothers?' demanded Mr. Beaumaris.
- 'No,' said Mr. Scunthorpe, blinking at him. 'Only child.'
- 'You relieve my mind. Offer my congratulations to your parents!' ...
- 'Only one parent,' he said. 'Father died three months after I was born.'
- 'Very understandable,' said Mr. Beaumaris. 'I am astonished that he lingered on for so long.'"

I've seen a few times that Beaumaris is a top favorite amount Heyer men and I would have to agree. I think he's my favorite. The last two Heyer novels I read were Frederica and Venetia which both feature a heroine in her mid 20s who is quite clever and independent. I loved both of those books but it was a nice change to read about the young and sweet Arabella.

Neither one of Heyer's best nor worst. This was really obviously divided into acts: Arabella & Her Family; Arabella in Town; An Interlude with the Men (Beaumaris & Bertram resp.); A Happy Denouement. There was a notable lack of endearing support players! and stuff I would have enjoyed reading about happened off-page (e.g. Beaumaris visiting with Arabella's family).

One of the cuter Heyers! I really like Arabella and her family and her conscience, but after the elegantly indifferent rich dude realises he loves her nothing interesting really happens. So it loses a star for that! I would also have liked some misdirection with Arabella and her brother and rich dude being jealous, but that is my id speaking!
