About the book
With her husband still with his Regiment in Egypt, Mrs. Tim takes a job to fill the months before her husband's demobilization. She finds herself working for Miss Erica Clutterbuck, a formidably tough and masculine woman, who has turned her home into a small hotel. Mrs. Tim becomes deeply involved with the many guests and their various problems. One amusing situation after another develops and, of course, Mrs. Tim is always in the middle. A most enjoyable book but marred by sloppy copying. Several pages are so blurry that they are unreadable, and three are missing. This is the third in a series of four books about Mrs Tim, although they can each be read individually.
