A weekend away and some not terribly productive days, but I'm managing to wade towards the end. The mystery has been solved, and the wrap-up stage is about to begin. I must try to finish it by the end of the month!

... fascinatin' as it has been to learn how the other half lives, I'm jolly glad that it will be over soon. Change is not made without inconvenience, even from worse to better, and this inconvenience threatened to be considerable. I could not possibly carry off the profession of a mystery novelists, and you, Harriet, do not deserve my relations.

Yes! three productive days stretch before us!

I'm thinking about how much more understanding they will each have for the other after this. Will it ever happen to them again?

I fear that both of them have been so obsessed witih their own issues that their increased sympathy for the other is rather limited, though Harriet has improved her understanding of men's clothes, and Peter his of cultural sexism!

At least they have learned some. Might need another dose at some point in the future!

So glad you are making good headway with this one! Nice Wimsey voice here, though I think he might make a passable mystery novelist if he put his mind to it :)

Wonderful Peter there!
