Much Dithering - Dorothy Lambert

Descriere Much Dithering - Dorothy Lambert

\n \nThe most striking thing about Much Dithering was its peacefulness. The few people who saw it from charabancs on morning or evening or circular drives said: Isn't it peaceful? or Isn't it quiet?. And some said they thought it was a lovely place to be buried in, but while they were alive they preferred a place with more life, if you knew what they meant.\n \nThe unlikely heroine of this delightful comedy of manners is Jocelyn Renshawe, young widow of the local squire, a specimen of human cabbage who fitted into her surroundings so completely that she was hardly noticeable. But she's about to be noticed a bit more-by her jaded, much-widowed mother Ermyntrude, who breezes in on the look-out for her next conquest; by her aunt and mother-in-law, who have decided she should marry Colonel Tidmarsh, an elderly (and extremely dull) retired Army man; and by Gervase Blythe, a mysterious acquaintance of Colonel Tidmarsh's, who arrives in town and rescues Jocelyn from a rainstorm before coming under suspicion as a jewel thief.\n \nOne is safe in assuming that Jocelyn is about to leave her mouldering existence behind, but how she does so is the sparkling, cheerful plot of Much Dithering.\n
