Original titleMoney to Burn
Raymond Trysting, age 35, the present Lord Falcon. Raymond is an attractive young man with plenty of presence and an interesting past;Trysting Mansion, historic family seat which should be Raymond’s except that it has just burned down;Auriol Trysting, Raymond’s beautiful (and frustrating) sister whose prospects are fine (three rejected suitors in the background) but who can’t seem to make up her mind;The family silver, which is just as historic as Trysting mansion, except that it’s disappeared;Leigh Anderson, buoyant (and rich) Canadian "cousin" who doesn’t want to fall in love with Auriol, since she can’t cook anything but eggs.These three young people try hard to solve each other’s problems, but there is the complication of the aunts: Elvira (forgets things), Rosande (writes poetry), Dolly (sneezes).Oddly enough these crotchety and engaging members of various generations get along well and wackily and there’s never a let-down to the well-deserved and very happy ending.
