I think I have determined that I will read any story that Anya Wylde ever writes -- she is clean and she is fun to read!  This book was a bit on the silly side, but that added to the fun!The Dowager and Lady Anne Radclyff are waiting for the daughter of an old friend of the dowager's to arrive.  This young girl's mother died giving her birth and the Dowager had promised to take care of her daughter and this visit will fulfill that promise.  They are expecting a frightened girl who won't utter a word her first day with them -- a mousy wallflower.So they are not prepared at all for Penelope Winifred Rose Spebbington Fairweather to show up on their doorstep - with a goat named Lady Bathsheba!  Penelope curtsies to the butler, tells an outrageous story of being robbed by the Falcon, and offends the duke -- all in her first hour at Blackthorne Mansion!"It is monstrously unfair that whenever a girl needs her wits about her, she goes and does something completely idiotic. Penelope was that sort of girl."Charles Cornelius Radclyff is the Duke of Blackthorne -- he immediately orders Penelope and her goat home!  But the Dowager and Lady Anne Radclyff intercede for Penelope and convince him to give her a chance.Nothing will ever be the same now that Penelope has arrived... and in the end that's a good thing!
