- Synopsis
- Diana, a gauche tomboy, is resentful when Squire Radford interferes with her plan to go fox hunting with her father. She goes, despite the vicar's stern command to stay home. The squire recognizes her, and when she sees that her father is really angry, she runs off from the hunt. She quickly realizes that she is quite lost, and it is sleeting heavily, and her horse must have shelter. She shelters in the home of Lord Mark Dantrey, whom all the county mamas are determined she shall not snatch. She is disguised as a boy, so she thinks she is safe. The next day, when the vicar sees her, he informs her that her hunting days are over, that she will go to Lady Godolphin for a season in London. She determines to do something quite different from what he has in mind; she will live as a man in London for one week of freedom. At the beginning of her journey, she meets Jack Emberton, a card sharp who is not above making money by other means. He decides she is fair game. A Gypsy has told her that a tall, dark man will enter her life, so she thinks Jack fits the bill perfectly. She arrives in London, masquerades as a boy, but is "press-ganged" the first morning she ventures out on her own, is rescued by Lord Dantrey, and goes to Lady Godolphin and confesses all. The vicar arrives on the scene, after having received an anonymous letter, which frightens them, since Lady Godolphin and Diana thought the scandal was thoroughly squashed, and that she was likely to receive a marriage proposal before the season even began. Her season is abruptly curtailed, and she finds herself back in Hopeworth, where her doings in London must be kept very quiet. Diana does finally accept the fact that she is a woman, and doesn't mind it at all!
