Despite her formidable name Miss Macbeth is an amiable and clear-headed woman and an admirable guide who knows all about the ancestral home of the Tempests in Buckinghamshire. When the play opens she is showing some visitors around, discoursing learnedly and with spirit. It is not her fault if her audience is rather inattentive. They do not mean to be discourteous, but the fact is that they are far more interested in the present Lord Tempest than in his forbears. For Archy is handsome, and gallant, and - be it whispered - rather feckless. Or so the dour Mr. Protheroe believes. It is from his conviction that Archy and all those like him are useless that the action springs.
