    "Have you sussed yet what they've stolen this time?"

    Honoria considered the clues – smudged palm prints on doors, dusty tracks through the library, blotter paper in the wastebasket. "Yes, my dear," she replied. "You aren't the only detective in the family."

    I love Honoria, and Peter is SUCH an awesome, thoughtful father, and the kids are a delight and a half.

  2. Rec 6

    Summary

    Many years later Harriet would reflect that those last days at Shrewsbury ran together in a terrible block and that all frame of time before Peter was ordered and all frame of time after his arrival was muddled.

    Summary

    "We're all dead to you, aren't we?"

    28 Jan 2010

    Notes

    Rather excellent character illumination in a rather dark setting, threaded through The War Games, with a plot of its own.

  4. Rec 2

    Summary

    "I must have a streak of my father in me. He was one of the old school -- you either faced a fence of your own accord or were walloped over and non nonsense. It worked -- after a fashion. One learnt to pretend one wasn't a coward, and take out the change in bad dreams."

    "You certainly don't show any signs of it."

    "One of these days you'll find me out, I expect."

    -- Busman's Honeymoon by Dorothy L. Sayers

    The Wimsey family at the end of the Great War, captured through letters and the diary of the inimitable Dowager Duchess of Denver. All the characterisations are absolutely spot-on, and it's both funny and moving.
