A civil servant in the near future is tasked with care of a time-traveler, a naval officer from 1847, Graham Gore. She is to observe him and help him cope with life in the present day. The Ministry, for whom she works, is said to be studying several time-travelers from the past to study the effects of time-travel on humans and on the timeline.

Gore and the other time-travelers are delightful in their wit, their charm, and their responses to the changes in their worlds. I enjoyed the humor and the characters very much. If everything didn't quite pull together, logically-speaking and scientifically-speaking, my response is, Oh well, and Who cares? Too much fun to miss this little gem.
