This is an absolutely charming Georgian novel (it took place during the American Revolution) with lots of light-hearted dialogue. Once I got over the large age discrepancy between the two main characters, the unfolding story was great. This is the first book I've read by Georgette Heyer and I enjoyed the humor of this playful story. Even better, I had the opportunity to hear Richard Armitage read it, so this story was drool-worthy.
Lord Rule is a wonderful character. But the humor really comes from the goofy, younger characters who think they can outwit him. He waits patiently for them to understand that he already knows where they've been and where they are going. I think Lord Rule was a bit bored by his existence until he met, then married Horatia. He certainly indulges her (think about all of her gambling) and waits for Horry to decide how she feels about him.Â
