Anthea, her great-niece, is in love with a dashing undergraduate with political ambitions. Of this, Miss Doggett thoroughly approves. However, Anthea's father, an Oxford don, is carrying on in the most unseemly fashion with a student - they have been spotted together at the British museum!

She wouldn't approve of that at all.'Brilliant, hilarious and so very, very English' DAILY MAIL'My favourite writer . . . I pick up her books with joy' JILLY COOPER Show more
