Penelope, a young American artist, settles into a private hotel off Piccadilly with her two travelling companions: Salemina, a Boston philanthropist, and Francesca, who is twenty, rich and in love. From the weekly bill and the powdered footman to Hyde Park on Sunday and a tea-party at a duke’s, she records English manners with amused, affectionate bewilderment.
