The Mister is a contemporary tale, despite being about an Earl, so this is not as far-fetched as it might seem at first glance. Unlike the Trevelyan matriarch in Washington, Maxim is an English aristocrat, and the action in The Mister is basically all in London, Cornwall and the Balkans rather than the U.S.īecause we don't know a lot about Grace's family history, we don't know when her family came to the United States or what connection they might still have with England.

Quite why she kept finding herself on the edge of the millpond at sunrise, with nothing for company but a blanket of mist and the cries of the curlews, she didn’t understand. Mellie sat hot and cross-legged on the dirt of the scullery floor wedged between the washboard and the mangle, hands over her ears, trying to block out Cook’s words.
