false <![CDATA[Arabella]]> 311150 22 Arabella is one of Heyer's most charming Regency novels. In it, young Arabella Tallant, the beautiful daughter of an impoverished clergyman, comes to London for her social debut and almost immediately runs afoul of Robert Beaumaris, a wealthy, eligible aristocrat. Beaumaris suspects that Arabella engineered a carriage accident in order to meet him; Arabella, in a rage, leads him to believe that she is the heiress to a massive fortune and thus quite uninterested in his own riches. Having set the stage for inevitable misunderstandings between this arrogant Romeo and hotheaded Juliet, Heyer then peoples it with unforgettable secondary characters. Arabella's warm heart and strong principles lead her to befriend such unsavory types as an abused apprentice to a chimney sweep, a stray dog, and a fallen woman happily known as "Leaky Peg"--all of whom she foists on the reluctant but gallant Mr. Beaumaris. Arabella is an intelligent, witty romp--both a romance with a hearty sense of humor and a historical novel that remains true to the times it depicts. 3228236 book 1949 Arabella total:836|5:270|4:340|3:199|2:25|1:2| 836 3359 1122 101 5 3 false true Mon Apr 21 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 18 18:08:54 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 26 01:19:32 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 2 false false Fri Jun 20 13:40:24 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 20 14:17:32 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Sep 04 19:03:31 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 19:03:37 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon May 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri May 08 13:18:19 -0700 2009 Fri May 08 13:38:08 -0700 2009 1

There was more Regency slang than usual, and I had to look up several bits. During a card game players were handing over "vowels" to the bank - those are IOUs.
