Georgette Heyer/YMMV


 * Strangled by the Red String: The Tomboy and the Smug Snake agree to be married in the penultimate chapter, despite not having much romantic dialogue. Of course, that might have been the whole point...


 * Magnificent Bastard: for a Romance Novel value of the term, Tracy.
 * The Woobie: It's hard not to feel sorry for Richard, whom everybody including the narrator considers inferior to his brother.


 * Ho Yay: Gil and Ferdy, Sherry and Sir Montagu Revesby.


 * Unfortunate Implications: A really horrible anti-Semitic scene with a moneylender.


 * Ho Yay: Read this extract and tell me you don't see it.


 * Unfortunate Implications: So Leonie possesses an innate nobility and the false Valme acts like a farmer's son – and would be much happier as such – despite having been brought up as a nobleman. Riiiiight.


 * Strangled by the Red String: Inspector Harding and Dinah. Heyer tries to pass it off as Love At First Sight, but it still comes across as pretty forced.
