- When the Liberal Party is returns to power with Plantagenet the presumptive Prime Minister, Glencora relishes her role as hostess for the nation.
- As the Liberal Party returns to power and looks to him as the new Prime Minister, Plantagenet has doubts about his abilities to fulfill the challenges of the post. Initially Glencora wants him to appoint her to a post at court, but he feels that it would be inappropriate, so she talks him into letting her open up the duke's old castle as a venue appropriate to host the world's elite. Cora informs her head housekeeper that she should expect at least fifty guests at all times and provide whatever necessities they should require. When Plantagenet sees the army of decorators, builders, gardeners, and landscapers that have descended on the venerable estate, he is appalled and terms it "vulgarity." Glencora is upset at his attitude, but has daughter Mary and Marie Finn to help her fulfill her Ministerial hostess duties. As a sidebar, ambitious social climber Ferdinand Lopez uses his friendship with Everett Wharton to insinuate himself into his family and ingratiate himself with his pretty sister, much to the chagrin of the family patriarch.—duke1029@aol.com
- The Liberals have been out of power for some years but are now looking to form a coalition government with the Conservatives. Plantagenet is shocked however when the party decides that he is to lead to the new government and become Prime Minister. Glencora is thrilled at the prospect and immediately plans on re-opening the Duke of Omnium's castle and entertain all of the elite of the British establishment. With the help of Marie Finn, she plans a continual stream of guests, 50 or so at any given time, until they have entertained everyone that should have an invitation. She does have one special request for her husband now that he is Prime Minister, but he refuses her. Meanwhile, a young up and comer, Ferdinand Lopez, is making inroads to the party. He's made his name as a financier in the City and has his eye on the beautiful Miss Emily Wharton. Despite being born and raised in England however, he finds that the girl's father considers him a foreigner and will not allow her to see him.—garykmcd
