3. The Scots I Forgot

Brighty, Babs and Churley head to Brighty’s Scottish estate for a golf tournament. But a very inquisitive Duchess, a resourceful Miller and a marauding mob of angry Scots (who used to live on what is now the 4th fairway) threaten to spoil everything.

Lord Christian Brighty used to be the most notorious rake of the Regency. But after a hazing ritual for a new chambermaid led to a self-inflicted cannonball injury, Brighty, compelled by the chambermaid in question - the uneducated but forthright Babigail – resolves to mend his ways. Accompanying him in his quest are Babs (elevated beyond her station to a chambermaid-cum-adviser role), and his butler, Mr Churlington (although Churley would actually prefer everything to stay exactly as it used to be).
