Summary

The fifth book in M.C. Beaton's charming Travelling Matchmaker series. 

The engaging Miss Hannah Pym delights all as she resumes her matchmaking adventures aboard the English stage - when lonely hearts chance across her intrepid path they're sure to find themselves en route for romance!

Destined for Dover, Miss Pym has her matchmaking work cut out for her when she encounters the pretty but hoydenish Lady Deborah Western! Encouraged by an unruly twin brother, the spirited, golden-haired Deborah seems set on dressing and acting the tomboy, much to the dismay of her handsome neighbour, the Earl of Ashton.... 

To Deb, the earl is a dull stick, always lecturing on the behaviour of a proper lady. But her desire to fish, hunt and ride astride is quickly replaced with more romantic notions when the tall, green-eyed earl challenges her to a horse race and wins himself an unforgettable kiss. 

Miss Pym can't resist the opportunity to match-make, and with the help of her clever manoeuvrings, Lady Deborah will soon be well and truly matched - perhaps even to the earl himself!

Light as Air

Travelling by stage has always been dismissed in most novels of the 19th C as something dire but for Miss Pym, a former housekeeper in London, it is an adventure, as because of that something always happens. In this case it a drunken coach driver that is the start of her and her fellow passengers' adventures.

A light-hearted series of romances that are enjoyable for their frothiness, the dry wit and glimpses of the period's mores. Miss Prendergast reads this story well and brings life and colour to the story.
