This is a sequel to Lady Betty Across the Water. Lord Percival "Val" Loveland is Lady Betty's cousin.Discovering that the heiress he had hoped to marry had eloped with an Italian prince, Loveland is convinced by his mother that he should follow his cousin's lead and find a wealthy spouse in America. Funds are low, so he pawns his mother's rare pearls to get the boat fare and expenses. He's soon on a ship for America with several letters of introduction from his new Cousin-in-law, Jim Harborough. Unknown to Loveland, Jim has a plan to humble him a little in New York. Cocksure of having no trouble picking from a bevy of willing members of the 400 (New England's millionaires and in-crowd), Loveland starts courting right on the ship. A few rich men and their daughter's are on board, as is Lesley Dearmer and her aunt, Mrs. Loveland (no relation - but the name on a deck chair starts their meet-cute.) But she's not rich or connected, so Lord Loveland has to mix with the high society types onboard ship. He has qualms and tries to tell her he loves her before they disembark in New York. She stops him, knowing that he's not the man for her...not yet and maybe not ever. Through a series of planned and unplanned events Loveland is accused of' being a criminal, and kicked out of the Waldorf and denied money at the bank.
The rest of the story has many twists and turns. Loveland is humiliated and forced to work to eat in a bread line and sleep in a shelter. He gets work in a greasy cafe, and loses that job after heroically saving lives in a fire. He then joins an acting troupe just trying to earn his boat fare home. This leads to more adventures. It a rollicking ride and one I enjoyed immensely.
I would have like a longer ending, a little more details on his HEA. But really, a great read.

Delightful little romp, somewhat dated (one does not use derogatory terms for servants nowadays), but the story was sweet, predictable, but sweet....a fun read...
