17th entry in the Barsetshire Chronicles- "Quite frankly, Mrs. Belton is worried. What's going to happen to Barsetshire? I wonder, she says, if the little country towns are going to die. The situation seems to be that the girls of the county are all working too hard to think of marriage, while the young men are either seeking brides elsewhere or else turning into confirmed bachelors." (from the dustjacket).
