Alexander Augustus Hope, M.P. Army colonel, aristocrat, arrives in the rustic Lake Country, boasting of wealth and title and bent on seduction. First it's a peasant lass, then a maidservant, then (sights set a bit higher) the daughter of local gentry - a girl rich and pretty but hopelessly bourgeois - to whom Hope proposes marriage.
