Seaview House, (Paperback)

<p><em>"I wonder what Mr. Heritage thought of his godson," she said quickly.</em></p> <p><em>"Rather clumsy, but quite good manners," Edith remarked. "And a well-shaped skull."</em></p> <p><em>These were her own views, but she took it for granted that sensible people would agree with her.</em></p> <p>Sisters Edith and Rose have rather come down in the world by keeping their hotel, Seaview House. So Mr Heritage believes, and he's not pleased when Rose's daughter Lucy--grown a bit too attractive for his comfort--becomes friendly with his godson Edward. Would-be paramour Nevil isn't thrilled either, and to complicate matters further, Edward is behind a scheme to build new terraced housing, depriving village residents of their coveted sea view.</p> <p>Dilemmas and dramas unfold--including a fire, a cook's prophecy, and a disaster of a luncheon--but the loose ends get tied up in Elizabeth Fair's cheerful, inimitable style.</p> <p>Furrowed Middlebrow is delighted to make available, for the first time in over half a century, all six of Elizabeth Fair's irresistible comedies of domestic life. These new editions all feature an introduction by Elizabeth Crawford.</p> <p>"light-hearted, shrewd, diverting"--<em>New York Times</em></p> <p>"Miss Fair makes writing look very easy, and that is the measure of her creative ability."--<em>Compton Mackenzie</em></p>
