Pleasantly importunate nonsense, however ""skip-brained"" or ""hen-witted,"" about Allegra who flounces from riposte to rejoinder as she turns down Sir Derek (even though he's most attractive) throughout proceedings here which take her from London and Bath to schoolmistressing in Brussels. Then there's the romance of her much younger sister Hilary which helps her to admit her real love to and for Derek. Becoming, in the genre.
