Melody Ashton has been called back home from school. She's looking forward to a London Season, but Melody finds problems at home. On the death of an aunt, Melody's mother has become guardian to a group of orphans. Now, Melody's mother is being blackmailed with misuse of the orphans' funds. However, these orphans are actually unwanted children of the ton.
Because news of this misappropriation of their funds has gotten back to the ton, Melody's mother's reputation is in serious trouble. Melody immediately takes responsibility and donates half of her dowry to make sure the children have what they need.

Unfortunately, I read this immediately after MISS LOCKHARTE'S LETTERS. That book was funny, this one was not. Lord Coe kept destroying his clothes and Melody kept hitting him with heavy objects. Melody's mother was irresponsible. This story was a definite disappointment.
