She rode through the ballroom on a black horse and appeared disguised as Lady Godiva, almost naked except for her red and gold hair. Enraged by her behavior, Durstan bets that he can, tame this unpredictable beauty. But, he finds out how stubborn Lorinda herself is, captivated by her father's greed and callousness. How Lorinda saves Durstan's life in the end and their hearts melt together for all eternity is the story of 18th-century England.
