Set against the backdrop of the Scottish countryside, the novel explores the complexities of love, obligation, and social status. Geoffrey Delamyn faces a dilemma when he must choose between his promise to marry governess Anne Silvester and his desire for wealth through marriage to a widow. With a binding verbal commitment due to an outdated Scots law, he concocts a plan involving his friend Arnold, who unwittingly falls for Geoffrey's stepdaughter, Blanche. This tale intertwines comedy with sharp social critique, making it a compelling read for fans of Victorian fiction.
