Our story begins when Charles Belton (who made his first appearance in The Headmistress) is hired on as a junior master at Philip Winter’s Priory School. This serves mostly as a means of crashing together all sorts of young people from Thirkell’s earlier books, who might otherwise have remained isolated in separate corners of Barsetshire, and making as many romantic matches as possible. Thirkell has gathered together Lucy and Oliver Marling, Charles and Freddy Belton, Susan and Jessica Dean, Colin Keith…every unmarried youngish person of note shows up, mostly (in the case of the men) to flirt with Jessica Dean. Even the too, too precocious Clarissa Graham gets to try her hand at flirting with Captain Freddy Belton, though he is thirty-five to her eighteen.
