Aha! *That's* why I feel I know him so well, and like him so much (in spite of all his obvious flaws)!
I learned to love Georgette Heyer novels from my mother, still treasure the collection of them I made as a teenager, and never knew anyone else who would own up to reading her books--it really surprises as well as pleases me how often the new writers I admire cite her as an influence!
And I'm also thrilled that the Bell is Batty Thomas, as The Nine Tailors was the first D.L.Sayers mystery I read and still my favorite, except for Murder Must Advertise.
My copy of Corambis still hasn't arrived, but I expect it tomorrow--it's like waiting for Christmas morning.... Sue Lambiris
