...villagers. "In restaurants we shall establish this rule: if you order spirits, you will be served one shot, but a second shot will be prohibited. Some may say so what; if they don't serve us in this restaurant, we will go to another and drink a second glass. Let them go! Those who like five shots will have to go to five restaurants.

This is really a two-part book, a fairy tale with corpses. Lady Diana Duff Cooper is able to evoke a world as fragile and opulent as an Edwardian conservatory filled with orchids, and still face the time when the glass broke in 1914 and the killing four-year frost came in.
