The Harringtons are hosting the spring fete for residents of the nearby village of Cavendish. The day is sunny and Miss Delphine Brooks-Hunter has asked for a ride to the May Day event. Not so unusual except that she has not been seen beyond her garden and local shop for many years. Her reason for coming? "... I want to enjoy myself".Thus enters a frank, funny and mysterious lady with more questions than answers for our intrepid Lord and Lady.Sometimes the character list gets a little long, but this is a pleasant, quirky read with easy to recognize personalities if you are a fan of the genre.
