About this book

Missing cherries disturb the orderly household of Major d'Arcy, a veteran now occupied with his garden and a history of fortification. His loyal companion, Sergeant Zebedee Tring, treats even a theft from the favourite tree as a matter requiring a report. Mrs. Agatha, their housekeeper, brings another concern into their comfortable home: she thinks both men would be happier married. These domestic exchanges introduce Jeffery Farnol's historical romance, set among the manners and courtship customs of eighteenth-century England.

Lady Betty also becomes the subject of a gathering's extravagant verses, as gentlemen praise her through increasingly awkward rhymes and interrupt one another with jokes. The scene gives the novel a lively social texture, with elaborate speech, personal vanity and laughter sharing the page.
