About the book
Kind-hearted Miss Hannah Pym is off to Portsmouth in the company of the beautiful but practical Miss Penelope Wilkins, the daughter of a rich merchant. Miss Pym quickly realises that Penelope needs someone to enliven her sheltered life, someone perhaps like their handsome travelling but carefree companion, Lord Augustus Railton. Miss Pym uses her skills to bridge the gap between their personality differences.
