Behind this rather prim title lies the hilarious fictional diary of
a disaster-prone lady of the 1930s, and her attempts to keep her
somewhat ramshackle household from falling into chaos: there's her
husband Robert, who, when he's not snoozing behind The Times, does
everything with grumbling recluctance; her gleefully troublesome
children; and a succession of tricky sevants who invariably seem to
gain the upper hand. And if her domestic trials are not enough, she
must keep up appearances. Particularly with the maddeningly
patronising Lady Boxe, whom our Provincial Lady eternally (and
unsuccessfully) tries to compete with.
