By 1956, Georgette Heyer was supporting her family by her writing, was contemptuous of her fans, and was evidently a little bored. So she'd started twisting her twisty little romantic romps to amuse herself. In this one, the hero *doesn't* fall for the high-spirited runaway girl, even though he literally pursues her (to save herself from herself, of course) for the first two-thirds of the book. Instead he woos a frumpy, respectable and superficially shatter-brained lady who refuses to marry him.
Don't worry, just as in a Bollywood musical, all comes right in the end. Speaking of which, I wonder how many Bollywood films follow Heyer plots? And if any of them do so on purpose?
