Beskrivelse
Miss Ophelia Pitt, leading actress of the New Players Theatre, is stranded in Brussels in the dangerous aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo. Desperate to return to London in time to start rehearsals for a new play, she tricks the haughty and disagreeable Sir Guy Gilmour into escorting her home in the guise of an eighteen-year-old schoolgirl. Sir Guy, initially indifferent to the waif in his charge, is soon captivated by her unruffled competence; whether dealing with French deserters, bloody gunshot wounds or disapproving dowagers. But Ophelia Pitt is a not a schoolgirl, she is a woman with a past and many secrets, some of which threaten not only the happiness but the life of the man she has come to love.
