In this, the last but one of Thirkell’s books, there is a certain “drawing in.”
As usual, not much happens, however, most of the discussion repeatedly refers back to previous characters and events without advancing the themes.
The ages of the third generation of children have by this time become so muddled that we have Lavinia Merton, age 16, joining the grown-ups for a dinner party while her cousins, 18 and 16 are practically relegated to the nursery.
Having, for some time now, run out of young marriageables, Thirkell arranges for one between the Rev. Oriel (another of our perennial bachelors) and Lady Gwendolyn Harcourt (sister-in-law to Edith Graham); “after a gentle attachment of some standing; it was highly improbable that they would be troubled by children.”
But not to worry, the budding romance between Lavinia Merton and Lord Ludo of Pomfret Tower is certain to reach a satisfactory conclusion and we are grateful, as always, that Thirkell, like Mrs. Morland, continues to write “the same book.”

Barnstable Patriot, December 24, 1970

Cape Cod Homemaker Service held graduation exercises in Barnstable Dec. 17 for a new class of homemakers who have completed the fall training course.
Mrs. Louise Hassett, R.M. of the Cape Cod Hospital School on Nursing related some of the typical needs of the older client. Mrs. James Taylor of Centerville, president of the board of directors, gave the graduates their letter of certification.
The following people are now qualified. Mrs. Mary V. Murray of West Yarmouth, Mrs. Barbara Ryder of Dennisport, Mrs. Margaret Tobey of Cummaquid, Mrs. Eileen Ward of South Yarmouth, Mrs. Alice Leavitt of Sagamore Beach, Mrs. Sybil Taylor of Mashpee, and Mrs. Eileen Wildes of Dennis.
Since its start six years ago the demand for homemakers has steadily increased. During this period the people served have come from all 15 towns from Provincetown to Falmouth.
The training courses equip a group of women to provide the services on referral through the central office in Hyannis. To continue meeting the community need, new homemaker applicants are always welcome to call Executive Director Mrs. Harriet Hall for an interview.
