About this book

At an English country house, Celia Faraday's family has grown used to her handling practical matters, from the post to their everyday arrangements. When she is due home by boat on a wet evening, her sisters carry on with letters, magazines and music while Aunt Ida presses them to send the motor for her. These small domestic exchanges establish the social habits and careless assumptions behind A. E. W. Mason's comedy in three acts.

Marriage expectations sharpen the family comedy. Phyllis talks of her own engagement and Celia's announcement of a match with Colonel Smith, while a military visitor has Celia's letter in his pocket and prepares keepsakes for their meeting. Quick dialogue, detailed stage directions and comic gestures give readers a close view of a household where sentiment and self-interest readily collide.
