The Children of Wilton Chase

At Wilton Chase the summer holidays hum with restless energy, the big house buzzing with servants, governesses, and a crowd of children all awaiting the return of two schoolboys, Basil and Eric. The rooms are filled with petty rivalries and whispered schemes, setting a lively stage for youthful drama.

At the heart of the commotion are two sisters: Marjorie, the sensible, self‑effacing girl who quietly tends to everyone’s needs, and the proud, headstrong Ermengarde, who resents authority and delights in testing Miss Nelson, the ever‑patient governess. Their clash of temperaments—Marjorie’s quiet perseverance against Ermengarde’s impatient defiance—creates a tension that ripples through the household.

As the day of the boys’ arrival draws near, the sisters’ arguments intensify, hinting at secret plans and unexpected alliances. Listeners will be drawn into the bustling world of Wilton Chase, where friendship, duty, and a dash of rebellion shape the lives of its young inhabitants.
