It's with marked reluctance that he agrees to escort his sister-in-law and niece to London for the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSerafina Gilbert, the orphaned half-sister of Sir Ogden Gilbert, is very much the poor relation in the Gilbert family. When the parsimonious Ogden takes a small house in London for the season, he and his wife, who hates Serafina, bring her along so she can act as an unpaid companion to their oldest daughter. Being already twenty-two, Serafina has had it drummed into her that she's an unattractive old maid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt her first ball, Serafina bumps into Max.
