"Philip Jettan cares nothing for fashion and society. The Sussex squire's son confines his interest to farming and his charming neighbor, Cleone Charteris. But Cleone is just back from London, where she's attracted the attention of a dashing new suitor who's schooled in the art of courtship. Looking at her old friend with new eyes, Cleone dismisses Philip as 'a raw country bumpkin,' so the wounded young farmer retreats to Paris to acquire refinement. Returning as a fashionably attired man of the world, Philip astounds Cleone with his new manners - but to his dismay, he discovers that he might have lost his sweetheart along with his rough edges." from the back cover.
