You did warn readers in an earlier blog piece you would be busy from early December to New Year's.<br /><br />I'm currently rereading WE CLAIM THESE STARS, and like you, I'm noticing small but interesting details. Details easy to overlook but interesting, such as Lady Diana Vinogradoff in Chapter I.<br /><br />Merry Christmas! SeanSean M.

I probablthy thought they were too "light" for my taste. NOT that there's any thing wrong with light humor and gentle satire.<br /><br />SeanSean M.

To this list I would suggest adding Lord Peter Wimsey and Bunter (from Dorothy L. Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey mystery stories). Their relationship too was deeper than simply that of employer and employee. In fact, Bunter was at least as strict as was Chives on how and what their employers should dress!
