The parish council is generally bemused by its new spiritual guardian but its head figure, local squire David Horton, is simply outraged by her appointment and takes steps to have her replaced.
Geraldine's optimistic outlook and obvious enthusiasm prove popular with the wacky villagers, however, and David is forced reluctantly to accept her appointment, forming a working friendship although often disagreeing fundamentally on policy or method.
Apart from the pompous, Conservative, egocentric Horton, the council members comprised his son, the hapless Hugo; the vague parish clerk, Frank; the incomprehensible Jim Trott; the straight-talking land worker Owen; and the elderly flower-arranger Letitia.

 John Milton
John Milton, the English poet, was born in Bread Street, Cheapside, London, on the 9th of December 1608.
Among the poems written by Milton at Horton was Comus (1634), the largest and most important of all Milton's minor poems, originally comissioned by John Earl of Bridgewater on the event of his appointment as president of the council of Wales.
It is perhaps the noblest of all his Latin poems; and, though written in the artificial manner of a pastoral, it is unmistakably an outburst of the most passionate personal grief.

He intended to become a clergyman in the Church of England, but growing dissatisfaction with the state of the Anglican clergy together with his own developing poetic interests led him to abandon this purpose.
From 1632 to 1638 he lived in his father’s country home in Horton, Buckinghamshire, preparing himself for a career of scholarship and literary creativity by embarking upon an ambitious program of reading the Latin and Greek classics and ecclesiastical and political history.
In 1638 and 1639 he toured France and Italy, where he met the leading literary figures of the day.

Among the poems actually written’ by Milton at Horton the first, in all probability, after the Latin hexameters Ad patrem, were the exquisite companion pieces L’Allegro and Il Peneroso.
The plague, which had been on one of its periodical visits of ravage through England since early in the preceding year, was then especially severe in the Horton neighborhood, while London was comparatively free.
The vexatious Cotton lawsuit, after hanging on for nearly two years, was at an end, as far as the elder Milton was concerned, with the most absolute and honorable vindication of his character for probity, though with some continuation of the case against his partner, Bower.
