...blustering captains of rusty little British freighters. While the British Cabinet worried over Generalissimo Franco's blockade, the captains, three of whom were named Jones, and their cargoes of spoiling food remained marooned in the French harbor of Saint-Jean-de-Luz.

Growing up under the careful eye of her grandmother, the heiress-presumptive promises to become a woman well equipped to be a second Queen Elizabeth.
