Dame Maggie Salisbury

Greetings, fellow Shelfarian. I'm a prolific but very picky reader. I only think one out of every 25 or so books that I read is excellent, and will reliably give those five stars. There may be some appallingly lousy titles on my "plan to read" shelf, but this is unintentional: if I read them and find them not above mediocre, they will vanish... more »

    Isn't Nurse a wonder? What would we do without her and her TB? I'm thrilled to hear of your improved convalescence. If that's how you spell it.

    Darling, Your interview was a hoot! Clunky shoes, indeed! I do hope the charity shop appreciated them.

    The Lady Stoat says

    My dear girl. What are you wearing? And what is that on your face? Oh, it's worse that I was led to believe. And you were such a good, sweet, unspoiled creature before Terence got hold of you. Poor Reverend Sturgeon is beside himself. Here, take my Ponds cold cream.

    Lord Manleigh says

    Yes, indeed - and there are forebodings of his fall indeed, only he doesn't seem to believe in them very much.

    Yes, I adored "Castle." How silly I was to doubt you all.

    The solution to the crime is the very last thing you would have suspected.

    Sir Magnus Ramping-Fumitory says

    I don't believe I've read Fauna and Family! All I remember is the short story where they all go back to Corfu years later, and Margo gets trapped in the loo -- Mother decides the plumber's attacking her -- mayhem.

    Lady Dixie says

    I'm so glad you enjoyed it. You must read "Miss Buncle's Book." Just delightful in the vein of dear Miss Read and the divine Barbara Pym. I can't wait to hear what you think of the Bronte biography. If it's the Barker one, I think it one of the best bios I've ever read.

    Hope you're on the mend!

    Dame Lady Hermione ffotheringhay-ffeatherstonehaugh DCA ,RAC etc says

    (eavesreading shamelessly) I preferred Cakes and Ale to The Painted Veil. Is a rounder someone with round heels ? What we'd call the town bike. I don't really see Rosie as that, she's a bit more discriminating-she only goes with men she likes, even if she doesn't love them.She's very generous in that way. Remember Philip saying that she didn't incite jealousy-that one wouldn't derive any less pleasure from a refreshing pool of water knowing that many others had been in it before one ?
