Least of all Jane.

Meanwhile, in a crumbling country manor in the West Country, everything's falling apart for Jane's best friend Tally. The family seat is collapsing - money's too tight to mansion - her brother the heir has gone AWOL and her mother's a New Age hippy with a Red Indian boyfriend called Big Horn. Tally desperately needs a rich and handsome husband to save her beloved ancestral home.
