Book description
If you have a Wild, Unruly, or Undisciplined Daugher, two Ladies of
Genteel Birth offer to Bring Out said Daughter and Refine what may
have seemed Unrefinable. We can make the Best of the Worst' When Amy
and Effie Tribble, two charming but impoverished spinster sisters,
lose out on an inheritance, they place this advertisement in The
Morning Post and hire themselves out as professional chaperones.
Vowing to prepare even the most difficult misses for marriage, the
Tribble sisters will spend a London season on each client, educating
them in their School for Manners. Maria Kendall is seemingly a dream
client - beautiful, impeccably mannered, effortlessly graceful and
extremely well dowered. In short, she doesn't seem to need the
Tribbles' help at all. But then the sisters meet her parents and
realise that they do have a problem on their hands - not with the
perfect Maria, but with her overweening, gauche and socially
over-ambitious parents!
