When none of her neighbours - even her close friend Lucy - will invite Compton to their homes, she hastily plans to hold a rout herself before removing to London for the season.To her chargin, Compton declines her invitation, but on the night of the affair he does arrive, more than half expecting to be cut by the assembled company.
