Lovely, wealthy, and well bred, Clarissa Vevian has been unable to find a suitable husband because of her terrible clumsiness. Enter Amy and Effy Tribble, chaperones-for-hire. Can they help Clarissa? Only if they can prevent her falling down the nearest available staircase. Confidence is what Clarissa needs, the kind of confidence that accompanies the friendly attentions of someone like the graceful Earl of Greystone, who rescues the accident-prone Clarissa from an ambush by a would-be highwayman. The earl's feelings for Clarissa seem no more than brotherly, however, and Amy and Effy are determined to help Clarissa become the stately, graceful woman that will win the earl's heart.
