truepennySpoilers! Spoilers bigger than your head! Go buy the book!

He took my right hand in his left and put his other hand on my waist. With a monotone but rhythmic buzz, which I took to be his attempt to hum a waltz, he led me into a dance in the middle of the dark street.
"You and I and Lady Sylvia," I said, obeying his lead.
Thomas stopped humming to say, "And James."
"And Cecy," I added.
"But not Aunt Charlotte," said Thomas, as he changed direction.
"Definitely not," I said, following him through a sophisticated turn.
So in the dark, to music only Thomas could hear, we waltzed the rest of the way up Berkeley Square.
Closely followed by Cecelia breaking the chocolate pot.
Sorcery and Cecelia is a fun, light book, ideal for those of us who wish Georgette Heyer would have turned her hand to fantasy. I love epistolary novels when they're done properly, and the whole idea of the Letter Game is just brilliant. And it's clearly a lot of fun, whether you end up with a novel out of it or not.
