Within two weeks of hearing that the Beltons wished to let Harefield Park, Miss Sparling had secured a deal. The Beltons moved into the village and Hosiers' moved into Harefield. With great wit and musings on society, Thirkell describes how these delightful characters adapt to their new, rather unexpected circumstances.
