A Tea Drinker's Novel: Chilverton Park: Celebrating the Styles of Austen, Trollo

Description: A Tea Drinker's Novel by Susan Russell Thompson Chilverton Park, the first in a planned series of Tea Drinkers Novels, is a humorous, light Victorian-style romance in a period setting, written in a manner reminiscent of both Anthony Trollope and P. G. Wodehouse. At the heart of this charming story lies an unusual attachment between the gay, confirmed bachelor about London, Sir Erskine Wald, and his childhood friend, the winsome but delicate daughter of the Earl of Chilverton, Lady Caroline Downey. Lady Caroline, who earnestly wishes to remain single, reveals her intention to Sir Erskine, who eventually acknowledges that they have that aim in common. But avoiding marriage in Victorian England is an admittedly tricky business. Lady Carolines Aunt Clara is determined to oppose her at every step and begins a program of ill-conceived interference, which brings Sir Erskine to Lady Carolines aid in league with his mother, the formidable Mrs. Hortensia Wald. Lady Caroline manages, with their help, to stay above the Victorian era intrigue surrounding her until her Aunt Clara manages to corner her in an almost inescapable dilemma.

Excerpt from Book Mrs. Hortensia Wald bustled with her typical energy into the breakfast room at her house in London where she found her son, Sir Erskine, dawdling over his coffee. ?You are early, my dear. ?I have been thinking, Mother. Perhaps you may have some idea how we may be of help to Lady Caroline. ?What sort of help do you mean? ?You are, of course, very well acquainted with her aunt, Miss Clara Hilliard? ?Very well indeed. ?So you are aware of the kind of opposition she can pose when she has her back up? ?I see! Clara is making herself unpleasant, is she? ?She is. And she knows how to do it.
