To the Manor Born

The Queen's New Year's Honors List, it is rumored, contains some information which will be of interest to the inhabitants of the Grantleigh estate. Audrey assumes it is Richard who is about to be honored and consequently does all she can to ingraciate herself with DeVere, even if it results in upsetting all her nature conversationist friends. But the attraction of one day becoming Lady DeVere proves her downfall.
