The Major himself, seeking a good housekeeper, married a large-boned, clumsy spinster of 37 who dismayed him by producing twins. Author Whipple's eventual solution, after using the Munich crisis in a genteelly British way to resolve her novel's problems, combines the Major's estate, Sir James's money and the assorted talents of all the characters, turns Saunby Priory into an up-to-date version of its original function...
