Subtitled ""Making Cheerful Fun of One of Scotland's Best"", this is a charming portrait and memoir, gay, facile, personal, setting down the story of Lady Neish' life with her two affections, her husband and her garden. ""Authority"", Lord Neish, pleasantly formidable, is a nice balance for his volatile, extravagant, enthusiastic wife. The light spots of their life together -- in Scotland, London, mishaps and misdeeds, friends, the last war and war work. For the ""Elizabeth"" market, women largely.
