Hi Shenaz!
I have read Black Sheep and Friday's Child, but haven't read
Sylvester yet. I guess I need to buy that one :)
Thanks for taking the time to get back to me. I just love this Home
Page. It makes me happy that she has her own page.
Have a great afternoon!

Hi Shenaz!
I bet I will read the book again and again. Thanks for responding. I
loved the characters so much specially Mary and Vidal. It is funny how
Vidal fell in love with her little by little. You can see it thru
their dialogue. With Heyer you have to read between the lines :)I had
to go back and re-read some parts to see when Vidal fell in love with
Mary. We know almost from the beginning of the book that Mary cares
for him. I loved the ending sooooooooooo much.
What is your next favorite Heyer book?
Have a great afternoon!

I just finished reading 'Devil's Cub' what an excellent
book. Couldn't put the book down until I finished it. I just
can't understand why they do not make movies or TV series out of
her books. For me her books are as good as Jane Austen's
The funny thing is everytime you read one of her books you think
it's the best until you read the next one. Just until recently An
Infamous Army was my favorite however now Devil's Cub is the best
:)
Georgette Heyer is the best. I just want to thank you all for this
website.
Is there anyone out there who loved this book as much as I did?

Just stumbled across this site - I've been a Georgette Heyer fan
since I was 12. That's when my mother gave me her copy of The
Grand Sophy to read to keep me quiet. I'd devoured every Heyer -
including the detective books - by the time I was 19. I love them!! |

Charles lost his left arm and not his right arm. In the book there is
the part when he comes back home before losing his arm and changes his
clothes there is blood on his left arm because he was wounded by a
bayonet. He tells his brother not to worry about it as it is just a
scratch. May be that's what he meant when he said he had been
wounded before on that arm. See I am just assuming :)I just loved the
book!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish she wrote more books!

Re: Charles' arm
Oh my goodness. Now I *am* going to have to reread those books. I
can understand, though; it was a plot point in RB, that he
couldn't use his right hand, but then when it came to losing his
arm GH--who clearly liked him a lot--couldn't let him lose the
right one...although, as a career military man he might have been
wounded in the left arm at another time and we are all just assuming
he's talking about the time mentioned in RB. Or, you know, GH
didn't go back to look and she just guessed wrong!
It's so nice to have a whole group of us who truly care about
these things. |

I just finished An Infamous Army. It was his left arm he lost - and
he says it was the same one he injured before, although in Regency
Buck it does say it was his right one. Typo! |

Dear Ann,
In AIA, Charles tells Bab he'd been wounded in that arm before.
In Regency Buck, he spills wine on his trousers and asks Judith's
cousin, 'Can you do the slightest thing with your left
hand?' He'd been using his left hand BECAUSE HIS RIGHT ARM
WAS IN A SLING; he's only in the book because he'd been sent
home with a wounded arm. He lost that same arm--the right one.
See what lengths we go to, not to have to get out the ladder and
actually look in the book. Although since I have clearly not
memorized these two, I will have to read them again. Oh, dear, how
dreadful. |

I've been enjoying trying to keep my nme at the top of the newest
quiz page (and usually failing) but there is one answer I'm not
sure about. The question about Charles Audley's arm sent me back
to the book to check. According to my reading (and I may have misread
it) a friend of the Worths had lost his right arm but Charles had lost
his left. Can anyone confirm or deny this? |

Georgette Heyer is simply a delight on so many levels. The joy of her
language, the complexity of her plots and sub-plots, the picture
painted of history with so much detail. I have read and re-read her
books for 40 years now and they never fail to amuse, engage me and
enjoy the denouement. Her "golden period", for me from the
Foundling to A Civil Contract. My favourite would be Venetia but I
will always have a soft spot for the rogue pirate Nick Beauvallet. My
greatest thrill in years of updating my collection finding a proof
copy of an US edition of Beauvallet in a Totnes bookstore with a
dedication by the author and a waspish comment in the book where she
spotted a grammatical error. |
