Thank you Shem. Brilliant synopsis. Have printed down to refer to.
I keep on re-reading the books. Different ones for different moods and stress levels - plus different memories linked to different books.
Also, keep two (almost full sets) so if the mood takes me at parents I know I have a copy of whatever Heyer I fancy. Mum is also an Heyer-head. She and her best friend from Uni built up impressive collection between them and because Auntie P’s daughter and my sister do not indulge I have inherited collection, which I have added to. She’s still gloating because I (stupidly) turned my nose up at GH for years (how wrong I was).
So cheap to collect second hand - turned into hobby obsession at Uni. Most of the copies I own are the Pan paperbacks from the 1960s - some of them are such brilliant colours nad the illustrations are quite good too.
Different books remind me of different things:
An Infamous Army - Dad knew I wanted but could not lay hands on second hand copy so ordered specially and presented as good luck prezzie for

The Toll-Gate - disjointed yes but still love. Think because I saw potential for Toll-Gate/Pride & Prejudice crossover. I failed in writing process but still do like.
I still have the notes we made for that story (we were going to collaborate) as well as the copy you sent me. *grin* I am still tempted to try and make something of it - although the copyright for Heyer is still valid, so posting it would be a problem.

We could do it just for fun between us and not post.
Plus, if you can tell me how to write an angst filled guy out of a hotel bathroom I'd like to know (he's hiding from wife in bedroom cos he almost cheated on her). Every time I go to do it it's just too lame and am in trouble for not getting on with story.

As I said I adore the tension between those too...
(Though A Quiet Gentleman has been spoiled for me by subtext ;) )
