Heyer, Georgette, 1902-1974

"Ronald says the Daily Woker is a pernicious rag, and I don't want it to be republished. I am quite uninterested, so have let him cosign the papers to the wastepaper basket..."

"Nothing here for Hodder to object to, I feel sure..."

"You will have had my card by now, telling you that I can't come up to town on the 10th after all. Richard caught a chill the other day, and it went straight to the weak spot, so that his return to school is indefinitely postponed..."

"I can't cope with this ass. Can't even read his letter..."
