Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book captivated eighteenth-century London with its tale of love, mistaken identity, and the hilarious lengths one man will go to protect his master. As the conceited Beau Trippet plans to marry the wealthy Melissa, his poorly paid servant Sharp devises an elaborate ruse to keep his master in the lifestyle to which he has become accustomed. Sharp's continuous lies and inventions snowball, as he uses his wit not only to save his master but also to win the heart of Melissa's beautiful maid, Kitty Pry. Full of scandalous fun and amorous escapades, the author's sharp wit and hilarious insights into social vanity and snobbery of the time are as relevant and entertaining today as they were 300 years ago.
