Memoirs of a Cornish Governess by Yolanda Celbridge
Accepting a position as Governess in the household of the eccentric, port-loving Lord and Lady Whimble, the young and ripely-formed Miss Constance soon finds her niche giving special lessons to the local gentlemen, including the vicar! Administering unique attention to their unusual requests, she performs her duties with glee. Employing all manner of Victorian instruments of correction, not least Mr Izzard's box of hygienic but curious bathroom accessories, Constance is destined to have a very rewarding career.
