Sir Philip has fallen in love. But has the old man lost his mind? His colleagues at the popular hotel, the Poor Relation, have to wonder. The smitten nobleman has installed his paramour at the hotel-and he's the only one who doesn't seem to notice that Mrs. Budge is a vulgar, grasping leech who just might eat them out of whatever profits the hotel is finally making. How do they get rid of Mrs. Budge while also carrying on the hotel's matchmaking tradition? Meanwhile, the London Season is in full swing and a sweet debutante guest is being kept from coming out by her scheming widowed mother, who hopes to land a new husband herself! It's up to the eccentric cast of the Poor Relation to free the darling girl from her dastardly mother long enough to marry her off, all while opening Sir Philip's eyes to the truth about his beloved. Fortunately, the founders of the Poor Relation are masters of romance-doomed and otherwise.
