This year, 1937, her London society artist father has recently died and the only other English-speaking guests are brash Americans. Then Major Wilshaw arrives. He suggests they meet for cocktails and Miss Bentley stands him up -- not even thinking about it -- as she helps the new nanny of an Italian family settle in.

And Miss Bentley now finds more about the major to admire than his ears.—Dale O'Connor <daleoc@interaccess.com>
