Bridal Array // I Love a Lass — Elizabeth Cadell

Jessica de Vrais rose early on a cool September morning and eloped, taking with her a small suitcase containing her bridal array, and, just in case "Hubert" did not come up to scratch, some diamonds for her return ticket.

Panic ensued when the case was lost in the middle of a Paris dock strike which held up two young men who were setting off on a motor tour of Europe.

When the two handsome young men, Sebastian Page and his friend Joss Alexander, meet in France they are confronted by an eccentric old Countess who demands that they drive her to her chateau. Joss is ready for an adventure -- and he is not disappointed...

Shortly after they arrive, beautiful young Jessica de Vrais makes her appearance. And to complicate matters, so does Francine, who is also young and very lovely. And then the fun begins, with Sebastian and Joss going through the pleasantly absurd antic of young men in love...

Chasing the case brought together a mad collection of people, including the eccentric Comtesse de Chandillot, who seemed a godsend until her transactions with antique furniture became uncomfortably complicated.
