Synopsis

IT is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man with a good fortune must be in want of a wife. Unfortunately none of them want Amber Vertigris, a beautiful but deeply unintelligent woman in her twenties. Her intended, Lord Edgar Bratwurst, turns out to be a murderer, arsonist, addict and, worst of all, penniless. In desperation she applies for a position with Lord Wensleydale.
