The Perfect Rake - Anne Gracie

Finally, not to be outdone, she stages a faint, and when I save her from falling and try to
resuscitate her—what does she do? Biffs me over the ear with a hideous miniature Egyptian coffin that weighs a ton, announces she is engaged to some other blasted fellow, and storms out!"
