English light romance of titles disguised and motives mistaken. A baronet is mistakenly shot in the arm by a servant discharging a firearm in a fog, and colludes with the circumstances which present him as a piano tuner. He is attracted to one of his carers but all goes wrong when she overhears his discussion with a friend of his fear of calculating mothers and mercenary maidens. He is suitably chastened and leaves in despair - but all is eventually reconciled at a London ball. An engagement and wedding is the result. (PB)
