Horton Halfpott: or, The Fiendish Mystery of Smugwick Manor; or, The Loosening of M'Lady Luggertuck's Corset

I imagine the servants of Downton Abbey would be both appalled and amused by this send-up of British upper class manners and culture. The privileged get their comeuppance for their snobbery and lowly kitchen boy Horton gets a chance to be our hero. It all begins when M’Lady Luggertuck decides one morning to leave her corset a bit looser than normal, and that loosening leads to a loosening of behavior and of adherence to rules throughout Smugwick Manor, with all kinds of strange results. Silly in all the right ways to be entertaining and fun.
