- Synopsis
- Annabelle, over-indulged and still very childish, smarting from jealousy of Minerva, finally gets her chance for a visit to Minerva's fiancé's home. She feels that she is right for him, that she loves him, and does not believe Minerva could possibly have the same romantic feelings that churn in her! She disgraces herself almost at once after her arrival by speaking Coachee, a form of slang (and has no idea what she is saying). The Duchess of Allsbury informs her she will write her father and tell him of her unacceptable behavior. Annabelle finds out in a shocking manner that Lord Sylvester does not love her, as she thought, convinced that her beauty would win anybody's approval. She decides to get revenge on Minerva by marrying the Marques of Brabington, thereby socially outranking her sister at all public occasions, and to insist on a double wedding so that she will outshine Minerva. This will also get her out of trouble with her family. Lord Peter Brabington succumbs. Despite qualms, Annabelle goes through with the marriage. When it goes sour on their wedding night, it is once again left to the vicar and his friend, Squire Radford, to straighten out the situation.
