Lord Hornington's Academy of Love

If Queen Victoria hadn't died when she did, none of it would have happened – or so claims Roger Homington, a virile young aristocrat comprehensively versed in the art and practice of love. Purely for a bet, he places an advertisement tempting the middle classes to yield up their virgin daughters. And though it is no surprise to him to receive thousands of eager replies, it is another matter when the girls begin to turn up in person. The first to appear is the cool and beautiful Eve Eassington, then comes bold and buxom Wilhelmina Clark – both of them keen to learn all of love's lessons. Scarcely has Hornington begun to share his knowledge than he gains two further pupils, the alluring Miss G— and her delightfully insubordinate maid, both in desperate need of his lordship's special kind of tuition. With these and other irresistible students on his hands what else can a fellow do but open a school specialising in the arts for which he is so justly renowned?
