Poor Harriet Glover. She's caught between her attraction to two men. There's Mark (coincidentally he's a Glover too), her long-term partner and father of her two children. The girls are grown up now but he still hasn't made up his mind about whether or not he and Hat should get married - and truth to tell Hat isn't that certain either. In theory it sounds like a good idea and would regularise matters but she's utterly smitten by Joris Sanderson, the headmaster of the school where she's a teacher. There are times when she thinks that, joy of joys, he's attracted to her, but then there are so many other women in his life that she's far from certain whether he's going to seduce her or sack her.
We first met Harriet, Mark and Joris in [[A Question of Answers by Margaret Henderson Smith|A Question of Answers]] and if there's one thing that we learned it's that she must be related to Frank Spencer of ''Some Mothers do 'Have 'em''. She's trouble, but not in a malicious way. It's just that accidents seem to wait around for her to arrive so that they can happen. Nothing is safe when she's aroundabout. But it does seem as though it's decision time for Mark and Harriet – he's returned from a long trim trip to Antarctica and ''seems'' convinced that they should get married.
It's essentially the same cast of characters that we met in [[A Question of Answers by Margaret Henderson Smith|A Question of Answers]] but if you haven't read that book you might struggle to understand who some of them are and quite what part they play in the story. Margaret doesn't do much in the way of recapping, so I'm afraid that you're going to have to buy the first book or work a bit harder.
