"The set of the title is a group of Austrian nobles living in Rome on long-term holidays, escaping the provincialism of Viennese society-only to create their own form of it. The harmony of the scene is disrupted when the secretary of the Austrian embassy-not much of a diplomat, but a fine waltzer-is sent off to London and replaced by Cecil Sterzl. The set instantly takes a dislike to Sterzl, who fails to play its game...His situation is not aided by his seating on a relatively low rung on the ladder of Austrian nobility, earned only by virtue of his mother's slim claim to title...very much in the spirit of [Jane Austen's] work: wise, comic, hyper-attuned to the subtleties of social hierarchies, and full of the business of love and courtship." -The Neglected Books Page
