Synopsis
In this charming sequel to 'Lady of the Manse' we return once more to the big, draughty house where the young and inexperienced Lavinia Derwent played the role of chief bottlewasher ard chambermaid, as well as hostess for the whole Berwickshire community where her brother was minister. Privileged lady of the manse she might be - but just as offen she felt like a mouse . . . Funny, nostalgic and delightful is this account of a Scottish world we have now lost - with its village fetes, ghastly musical evenings, and visits from the Moderator of the Church of Scotland himself - not to forget encounters with such extraordinary characters as Wee Wullie and Oor Net.Latest Additions

As the boat drifts out of control, suspicion falls on everyone aboard - including Ethelred.
