In this witty and engaging tale, Clovis, a reluctant matchmaker, finds himself entwined in the romantic pursuits of Hugo Peterby, who is determined to win the affections of the charming but talkative Betty Coulterneb. As Hugo grapples with his feelings, he faces competition from the wealthy and enigmatic Mr. Lanner, who has his own ulterior motives for visiting the countryside: a passion for collecting rare bird eggs, particularly those of the elusive rough-legged buzzards nesting nearby.
