Picowrimo Day 3

Greetings. You know what to do. You know where to do it :)

No editing today yet (I have to tackle the slightly handwaving of why no one from her work is trying to track Linda down starting with the bridging scene in Chapter One that gets her from her home town to Derbyshire). However, I did write the paragraph that precedes Chapter One:

A warm welcome awaits at the Rupert Peveril Hotel. Located in the very centre of the bustling market town of Ashbourne, famous for its street football and Jacobite connections, this historic coaching inn offers all visitors a friendly reception, whether planning a one night business stay, or a fortnight's walking holiday in the nearby Peak District National Park. The hotel offers a range of rooms to suit every pocket, and the full board package includes hearty courses of traditional Derbyshire fare. Game dishes available, in season, for a modest additional charge. Licenced bar open to residents and non-residents alike.

Not sure I've got the tone quite in-period yet, but I'll dig through some more old papers and see what I need to tweak.

Sounds attractive to me. What decade are we in?

Thanks. We're in the mid 1970s.

Sorry!

You may well be right. Price, perhaps?

After much browsing of the Times online archives, I believe the word I want is 'tariff'.

Sounds nice. I'd stay there, if I were in the 1970s ;)

Thanks for the endorsement.
