What a perfect ending! Thank you for this lovely tale of novelist-shop-girls, and baronet-publishers! I'm just very sorry it took me until now to read it!

"Charlie, if he's so inclined, can devour half his weight in one sitting"! I laughed out loud! And a cliffhanger!

Oh, I do love it when Mrs Hughes and Carson conspire! They do it with the same seriousness and attention to detail as, say, running a large stately home! Plotting, indeed!

You've caught Carson's (and Jim Carter's) voice absolutely perfectly! I could just hear it!

Surprise indeed! And Anthony being the baronet in shining armour coming to his lady's rescue. Lovely.

ooooo what a set up!

Just the perfect ending. Thank you!

Ahhhhhh! Did I say a wink would make me swoon?! It's a good thing I'm already lying down, because that was... sublime. That last exchange about publishing was sweet and fun and sexy and romantic and utterly lovely. And then to be snowed in! Perfect! :D

Edith, I don't blame you for indulging in daydreams! I'd be pretty dreamy if I were having dinner at Anthony's flat myself! And a wink from RB and I'd go into a full out Victorian swoon. Lol. A fun and flirty chapter! Thanks! :D

Hank you so much for another lovely story!

Snowed in? Delightful! Was that also part of Elsie's "nudge plan"? :D
Beautiful chapter and story. Thank you.

Wonderful! Marvelous! What a fun and exciting holiday story. Thank you for writing.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant! Thanks so much Miss Kymby!

You're certainly building up the anticipation for their quiet dinner and I loved the twist at the end! I'm eagerly awaiting your next update Lady Kymby!

This is so sweet. Please keep writing. x
