The characters visitors will meet are:
Mrs Walters A curious visitor to the Royal Pavilion, she is staying in Brighton with her two eligible daughters – Miss Jane and Miss Martha Walters. Their mother is happy to share her many views on the proper raising of girls, the healthful benefits of being beside the sea and a woman’s proper role.
Miss Jane Walters Rather too bookish for her mothers liking. ‘The bride and the bluestocking are at odds’ as her mother is fond of saying. For the sake of propriety, it is Jane who should wed before her younger sister. Is it possible that this could ever happen?
Miss Martha Walters Eager to live life to its fullest, impetuous and flighty, she is as different from her sister as the waves are to the sand. Will her reputation be lost as the tide rises higher?
Is it easy to distinguish the ‘rogues’ from the ‘right sort’ in a town like Brighton?
Mrs Walters and her daughters will encounter:
Thomas Read Kemp A former member of parliament and owner of the original manor house on this site. Mr Kemp has some interesting views on town planning. What will Mrs Walters make of his unusual religious convictions?
And…a dashing young captain of the guards, but on half pay – due to the ending of hostilities. What is his interest in the young Misses Walters? Do they find the uniform appealing – or does the captain possess fine qualities of character too?
