I thin...Sorry, Alex - it's definitely fiction. I think it would be perfect bed-time reading, except for wanting to read just a few more pages (some of the adventures stretch over more than one chapter).<br /><br />Lori, there's a Dowager who would fit perfectly into a Heyer novel - as well as a foppish heir.<br /><br />Hayley, I'm so grateful for the introduction to Grant Allen! Project Gutenberg has The Woman Who Did, but also Hilda Wade, A Woman with Tenacity of Purpose - that's the one I want to read next!<br /><br />elizabeth, we can ask ourselves, What Would Miss Cayley Do? Unlike Amelia, though, she doesn't see any need to wash the camels!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-19242888107647174702013-04-08T19:37:27.121-05:002013-04-08T19:37:27.121-05:00Miss Cayley is my new role model.

It sounds as though it might be the right sort of book to have at the bedside - one adventure a night - or would that lead to bad dreams?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-91533767213442035092013-04-08T07:32:19.223-05:002013-04-08T07:32:19.223-05:00And she's such a brick, under that gruff exter...And she's such a brick, under that gruff exterior, especially when she's holding Marmy's house against invaders.

I also loved the character of Lady Georgina, who was a right old piece of work, but so perfectly captured as a grand dame of the old school. skiourophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200877834536477400noreply@blogger.com
