Amelia Farrington is the daughter and heir of an English aristocrat, the late Robert Farrington, Baron Mawsby. She was born to a life of privilege, but her family estates were hit hard by the Depression, and she is now working for the British Meteorological Office as a weather researcher to help make ends meet.

Amelia is a pretty and intelligent young woman of 21 with a zest for life and an adventurous streak. Her current assignment is to perform weather forecasts and measurements for the Winter Olympics at Lake Placid.




Mawsby Hall, Derbyshire, England, Amelia's ancestral home. (locally pronounced darby-shuh, not derby-shyre)
