At the beginning of the book, we are told that Ethelberta was
raised in humble circumstances but, through her work as a
governess, married well at the age of eighteen. Her husband died
two weeks after the wedding and, now twenty-one, Ethelberta lives
with her mother-in-law, Lady Petherwin. In the three years that
have elapsed since the deaths of both her husband and
father-in-law, Ethelberta has been treated to foreign travel and
further privilege by her benefactress, but restricted from seeing
her poor family.The events of the story concern Ethelberta's career
as a famous poetess and storyteller as she struggles to support her
family and conceal her secret -- that her father is a butler.
Beautiful, clever, and rational, she easily attracts four very
persistent suitors (Mr Julian, Mr Neigh, Mr Ladywell, and Lord
Mountclere), but is reluctant to give her much-coveted hand.
