The Young Visiters

by Daisy Ashford

Grade: To Own

It's such a nice little book. And the movie had Hugh Laurie in it.

Here's the funniest passage in the whole thing:
"The Earl soon got tired of his sickly daughters and his wife had a savage temper so he thourght he would divorce her and try again but he gave up the idear after several attempts and decided to offer it up as a Mortification."

Also, just after Bernard and Ethel went on a merry six week honeymoon,
"[They] returned from their Honymoon with a son and hair a nice fat baby called Ignatius Bernard."
