Persons of Rank

Eleanor and Beatrice dream of lovematches but the Dowager insists romantic love is for housemaids not for the Graceover women. Beatrice despatched to London to look over the current crop of bachelors is unimpressed by the frivolities of the Season. Disturbed by the languid charm of Lord Serle and appalled by the mercenary attitudes to marriage displayed by Society Beatrice’s country innocence and unconventional behaviour lead her into some alarming situations. Meanwhile the beautiful and headstrong Eleanor is up to mischief of her own which is guaranteed to earn the disapproval of her grandmother. A desperate struggle in the potting shed at midnight clears the air; not only does love triumph after all but the Dowager is not displeased.
