Wyndham is contemplating his upcoming proposal with considerable dismay, when he chances upon a beautiful young fugitive, Penelope, making a dramatic exit from her home.

Impressed, intrigued, and a little worse for drink, he decides to help Penelope flee. What follows is a shockingly perilous advantage - one which might just provide Sir Richard with his own opportunity to escape . . . __________________________'One of my perennial comfort authors.
