On losing a bet Lord Octavius Pryor has to use his gift of metamorphosis, and spend the evening at Vauxhall Gardens as a female. On being attacked by the lecherous Baron Rumpole he is determined to teach him a lesson. So as a housemaid he enters the Baron's household. But he meets the new governess Miss Philippa Toogood and is instantly smitten. So his plan must cover the revenge and punishment of Rumpole, while keeping Miss Toogood safe. For this he needs the help of family and friends.
An entertaining historical fiction story, with some very likeable and amusing characters.
