BLACK SHEEP

This is one of Georgette Heyer's dimpled diversions, indeed, sunny as a buttercup, somewhat more simply plotted than some of her earlier low intrigues in the high society of Bath during the Regency. For the most part it concerns Miss Abby, ""a mere twenty eight years in her dish,"" and the surrogate guardian of her niece Fanny whose mother committed some unidentified indiscretion. Fanny now falls in love with Stacy Calverleigh, a fortune hunter, who proposes--heavens, horrors, an elopement to Gretna Green, while Abby falls in love with his uncle who is none other than the man Fanny's mother had run away with.... Black Sheep, more lace than wool, and triumphant trivia.
