108 / Georgette Heyer - Arabella
This is about as contrived as Heyer's plots ever are: one of those plots which could easily have been solved if the people involved ever actually sat down and talked to one another. I caught myself rolling my eyes at several points. This wasn't helped by the fact that this is so much more a romance than it is a comedy; I have always found the less palatable elements of Heyer's work considerably sweetened by a good dash of comedy. I wasn't overly fond of Arabella, but Beaumaris was entertaining enough, especially since he was both thoroughly aware of his own flaws, and thoroughly unconcerned by them. One of the better ones, but not a favourite.
