If you are landed gentry, (at your last reckoning seventy-ninth in line to the throne), and your exploits have not gone unreported by the tabloid press, having your portrait painted is an event of some significance. Especially so if your forbears had theirs done by the likes of Sir Anthony Van Dyke, Sir Joshua Reynolds and John Singer Sergeant! Lucinda Graham arrives at the country seat of Peregrine Worsnip to discuss the commission and make preparatory sketches. However, lunching with the family, Peregrine's wife Armorel - so called because it was the only name her mother could think of that couldn't be affectionately shortened to a nick name - and their son, Jasper, make Lucinda aware that the commission is likely to be far from plain sailing.
