As the Season of 1899 comes to an end, the world is poised on the brink of profound, irrevocable change. The Earl of Dilberne is facing serious financial concerns. The ripple effects spread to everyone in the household: Lord Robert, who has gambled unwisely on the stock market and seeks a place in the Cabinet; his unmarried children, Arthur, who keeps a courtesan, and Rosina, who keeps a parrot in her bedroom; Lord Robert's wife Isobel, who orders the affairs of the household in Belgrave Square; and Grace, the lady's maid who orders the life of her mistress. Lord Robert can see no financial relief to an already mortgaged estate, and, though the Season is over, his thoughts turn to securing a suitable wife (and dowry) for his son. The arrival on the London scene of Minnie, a beautiful Chicago heiress with a reputation to mend, seems the answer to all their prayers. As the writer of the pilot episode of the original Upstairs, Downstairs-Fay Weldon brings a deserved reputation for magnificent storytelling. With wit and sympathy-and no small measure of mischief-Habits of the House plots the interplay of restraint and desire, manners and morals, reason and instinct. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Upper class|zEngland|xHistory|y19th century|vFiction. 650 0 Household employees|zEngland|xHistory|y19th century |vFiction. 651 0 England|xSocial life and customs|y19th century|vFiction. 655 7 Historical fiction.|2gsafd 700 1 Kellgren, Katherine.|4nrt 710 2 hoopla digital. 800 1 Weldon, Fay.|tLove & Inheritance.|sSpoken word ;|vbk. 1 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11801583?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ mcm_9781427228925_180.jpeg
