Sir Philip's folly is actually his decision to bring in a course widow named Mary Budge whom he has taken as a lover. She is lazy, rude and has an appetite that threatens to eat the hoteliers out of house and home. And to top it off she wants to be a partner in the Poor Relation Hotel. Naturally hilarity ensues as the poor relations scheme and plot to get rid of Mrs. Budge. The solution actually comes from a young woman named Arabella Carruthers whose mother is trying to pass her daughter off as a child and herself as a young widow in order to remarry. Arabella who knows nothing of the world quickly learns a lot about life dealing with the poor relations. Will she find love or will she be forever condemned to a life of pretense with her delusional mother? The 4th book of the Poor Relation Series does not disappoint.
