description: Tansy Tamerlane hit Kasey like a ton of bricks one day refusing to be anyone but who she was refusing any name that ended with A or even C. Thats the thing about Tansy. Shes tenacious (which is just a short hop to stubborn but nobody ever got anywhere by being a shy shrinking violet now did they?).Tansy left penniless by her late father has been putting herself out as a governess to other peoples brats for two years when she is somehow caught up in playing chaperone to a distant cousin the sister of a duke no less. Ashley Benedict Duke of Avonall is a man beleaguered. His grandmother is a terror his sister a lovely but none-too-bright chit his valet a superstitious twit and his aunt Lucinda is  well different. Singular. Okay so shes downright odd.Lucinda Benedict you see speaks only in quotes. Other peoples words. Really. And if you think an author cant have a lot of fun with a character like that well you havent yet met Aunt Lucinda! In fact Kasey was so taken with her that Aunt Lucinda went on to appear in The Playful Lady Penelope and (as a ghost no less!) in The Haunted Miss Hampshire.
