![]() ![]() Georgie is a bright, engaging character, and Bowen surrounds her with other lively characters. The experience gives her some practical education, but it's not sufficient to deal with discovering a dead body in her bathtub. On her own in Rannoch House (her sister-in-law Fig insisted they had no money to send a servant with her), she has to learn to lay a fire, cook, and take care of all the practical aspects of life that young ladies of her set never have to concern themselves with. She has been educated to be a minor royal and an ornament to society, not a self-supporting working woman. ![]() Georgie is a very bright young woman with absolutely no practical training of any kind. ![]() She decides to go to London, with an invented excuse of a school friend's wedding, and find a way to support herself and, happily, avoid Siegfried.

Dull, stiff, unattractive. Unfortunately, it's the 1930s, and their father, the previous Duke, lost the family fortune and shot himself. Georgie, is a very minor royal, 34th in line to the throne, and half sister of the Duke of Glen Garry and Rannoch. Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie, a.k.a. ![]()
