In the tranquil yet subtly tumultuous world of Edwardian England, the delicate dance of social satire unfolds with the grace of a comedy of manners. Here, the genteel veneer of upper-class society is peeled back to reveal the intricate guest dynamics that define and defy the norms of the time. This early 20th century novel, once lost to the ages, has been lovingly restored for today's and future generations, offering a vivid glimpse into the English countryside setting where classic humour thrives.

This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions, ensuring that both casual readers and vintage fiction enthusiasts can savour its wit and wisdom. Its relevance resonates now more than ever, as it mirrors the timeless intricacies of human relationships and societal expectations-elements that fans of E. F. Benson and Downton Abbey will find irresistibly familiar. This edition is not just a reprint; it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure, inviting readers to step back in time and experience the charm and challenge of a bygone era.

Whether you are a seasoned aficionado of British literature or a newcomer eager to explore the nuances of an era marked by elegance and change, this narrative offers a rich tapestry of life and levity. Embrace the opportunity to own a piece of literary history that continues to captivate and amuse.
