A witty and entertaining portrait of society documented by A Regency Lady.Life, even in the provinces, can be entertaining if only one has the means with which to enjoy it. But since my jewels spend more time in town than I do - albeit at the pawnbroker - I am forced to be more than a little resourceful.With visits from my charming but wayward younger sister Georgiana, who has made an art form of losing chaperones, a mother-in-law who would not dream of interfering and house guests who all too often outstay their welcome, I hardly have the time to strive for self improvement but I am determined to add to my accomplishments and therefore be more interesting than my neighbours and certainly more fascinating than my Treasured Spinster Friend Susan Simmons - not difficult as she is NINE and TWENTY and still a SPINSTER. So this year I intend to embark upon a path of reading, travel and mixing with Harrogate's circle of Artistic Types. A lady must always make an effort to add another string to her bow no matter how pressed for time - or coin - she may be.If only there was a legacy in the offing ...The Diary of a Regency Lady - a fresh and amusing take on a modern Regency marriage
