Liked the dry humour in this - it livened up it up. I'm not a huge fan of the introductory character biography, but if it works out in this case then i'm not going to complain. Near the end, i was sufficiently endowed with knowledge of the Cranley family that i may have skipped a few sentences. So, overall, not bad, sufficiently entertaining, but I think it would be better off a little bit shorter. :)
