After the wedding, they move to their first home together, which Anne calls their “house of dreams.” Gilbert finds them a small house on the seashore at Four Winds Point, an area near the village of Glen St. Mary, where he is to take over his uncle’s medical practice.
In Four Winds, Anne and Gilbert meet many interesting people, such as Captain Jim, a former sailor who is now the keeper of the lighthouse, and Miss Cornelia Bryant, an unmarried woman in her 40s who lives alone in an emerald-green house and deems the Blythes part of “the race that knows Joseph.” Anne also meets her new neighbor, Leslie Moore, who lost her beloved brother and her father, and then was forced by her mother to marry the mean-spirited and unscrupulous Dick Moore at age 16.
The Tyler family was as a whole “handsome and civilized and worthy of paradise.” “Very Important People.” etc. There is only one “lemon in the basket,” according to his wife, no peach herself, and that’s Rufus, decidedly ordinary.

The young prince of Alalaf, a foreign country belligerently hostile to the U.S. is sent to America for emergency treatment by young doctor Tyler. In the meantime, innocent Americans are being held as hostages until his safe return. The visit is supposed to be ultra-secret but Rufus spills the beans.

"Breakfast in Bed" takes a comfortable, prosperous London family through the course of one comfortable, well-managed Winter's day.
