Maria Kendall is beautiful, delightfully mannered, graceful and extremely well-dowered and the Tribble sisters think that they will have no problem in securing her a duke. They have not, however, reckoned on her boorish and vulgar parents and realise very soon that their greatest challenge yet will not be in taking on Maria but the hopelessly common Kendalls as well!
A superb twist to this the fifth tale in series and one in which the Tribbles will face their greatest challenge. How to secure just the right gentleman able to take on the task of coping with two vulgar parents in order to win the hand, eh hem…and more needless to say, of the fair maid! A tough proposition here and the Tribbles rise to the challenge with increasing fervour given the intractability of said vulgar parents and the obvious suitability of the enchanting Maria and the proud, and yes handsome, duke of Berham. Guile and aid from unexpected quarters sees them through. However, in the matter of having their discovery, pride and joy, Yvette the French dress designer and seamstress tempted away from under their roof they are sorely tested!

Soon into the post for Flutterbies9 in Somerset.
EDITED TO ADD – MON 19 NOV 2018: finally posted my planned REGENCY BOX Ray, which had been put on hold.

Arrived safely in Somerset in a beautifully decorated box (recognised some paper as from me on your birthday gifts! and so appropriate for this). I have many books at present but I'm sure I can squeeze these easily read little critters in somewhere whilst reading my Secret Santa books and Book Club book. In fact, these may well not stay on tbr for long at all. Oddly, I've not read many of these in this series by M C Beaton so getting a whole posse of them at once is just great.
Well, this whole series waited a little longer than I realised but is finally read.
The fifth of the series with the Tribbles twin sisters and the School of Manners. Rainbow3 has again detailed in her entry above all the pertinent facts for this book, so suffice to say, a very pleasant easy Regency romance read.
I think there was an original plan for this but I will have to search my records to see what that was as I have forgotten.
