" Light hearted and witty, this was an engaging read. However, having read the previous story and novella in the Millworth Manor series I did find Winfield Elliott's stiff rumped act difficult to swallow as it didn't dovetail to the character VA had portrayed previously, especially in the novella (Lord Stillwell's Excellent Engagements). Read this for lots of funny moments, an interesting look at architecture as well as references to women's rights issues of the times. As remarked by another reviewer, VA has introduced us two more interesting characters - Miss Clara and Mr Chapman; let's hope we don't have to wait for too long to read more about them. "
