Publisher's Synopsis
An explosion of disgust - 'What? You mean the Earl does it for money?' - from Blotto is provoked when Twinks informs him of the activities of the Earl of Woking. The gentleman in question is the owner of Clusters, a stately home not far from Tawcester Towers, who has been renting out his property for private functions - and CHARGING his guests! The discovery of this appalling lapse in aristocratic behaviour sets Blotto and Twinks off on their latest adventure. Determined to find out more about the Earl of Woking's activities, they discover the existence of a sinister group called Aristotours - brokers between impoverished owners of stately homes and the common people, offering a taste of the high life to such plebeian characters as stockbrokers, surgeons and solicitors. And as if this were not bad enough, they discover that Aristotours has its beady eye upon Tawcester Towers itself!
