Barsetshire No XVI. Set in the days after the second world war, the story follows Lydia and Noel Merton, Mrs Brandon and her wickedly charming son, Francisto. Colin Keith is infatuated with the young widow, Peggy Arbuthnot, much to the chagrin of his otherwise loving sister, Lydia. Her husband, Noel, also shows much interest in this attractive woman, while her sister in law also creates excitement among local birdwatchers. The Birketts are leaving the headmasters house and a new Vicar is introduced. Rationing, shortages and the post-war exhaustion is still heavy, yet there is an underlying sense of relief.
