I get a little tired of the "happy families" Georgian novels, when the truth was very different. If the rich do have a curse, it's that they keep their children at a distance, as a rule, cushioning the space between with nannies and attendants. Much as some of them do with real life.<br /><br />> ><br />> I love the fact that you didn't make Richard infallible<br /><br />I think he'd have very mixed emotions. The shock of knowing he's the father of two young people, coupled with the distancing his own childhood brought, I think makes his reaction very different to ours.<br /><br />> The only idiom that threw me was the use of to knock someone over ><br />> with a feather, which seemed to be a bit anachronistic><br /><br />However hard you try, there's always something. This one was flagged as doubtful, but we let it go because it's the kind of "common sense" saying that could have been around for a long time. Angie picked up on "terrorise" which was around as "terror," but turning a noun into another form of speech is a very 20th century thing. <br /><br />I'm just delighted you enjoyed the books and thrilled with your last remark!lynneconnollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687025766573756077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893224.post-26608384695189320552009-09-07T11:02:30.951+01:002009-09-07T11:02:30.951+01:00I've finished the last available one yesterday...I've finished the last available one yesterday (and read the short stories on your site - makes the distance between Richard's mother and him very understandable even before reading Harley Street) and will now jump into your other series, since I have to wait for R&R for a bit.<br /><br />I love the fact that you didn't make Richard infallible (a la Duke of Avon in These Old Shades) and showed the very different value system regarding family and relations between children and parents of the time (as in Richard is shocked and emotionally devastated, will help but will NOT go out and name the twins his heirs or make them into full members of the family).<br /><br />I also loved that you made it believable for this particular couple that he felt secure enough in Rose to be able to cry in her arms.<br /><br />The only idiom that threw me was the use of to knock someone over with a feather, which seemed to be a bit anachronistic<br /><a href="http://www.yourdictionary.com/idioms/knock-for-a-loop" rel="nofollow">knock for a loop idiom</a><br /><br />In conclusion, I'll be buying any and all R&R stories you're able to sell.
