Lovely!

Lovely!

This is one of the favorite gifts that I have received all season, thank you Lady C! x

Simply beautiful! Happy x-mas!

Oh man, so sweet. Not a fan of Edith, but Andith stories are growing on me!

What a lovely Christmas story. Thank you

Amazing Lady C. I love how pleased Lady Gervis is with her efforts. Hugh's comment, I say, Anthony Strallan's taking liberties with a woman out on our terrace, was priceless.
Most wonderful though was Edith's thoughts has she wrapped herself in Anthony's jacket. Of how he smelled of ink, old books, pipe tobacco, peppermints, and home. I have no doubt that Anthony would smell of ink and old books and most of all, for Edith, home! Such a beautiful portrayal of how smells can transport us back to the wonderful times in our lives!
Merry Christmas!

And, after that painful, awkward, honest conversation, they all lived happily ever after! What a wonderful Christmas gift, and how clever of Lady Gervas. Happy Christmas to you too Lady C.!

The best Christmas present is Anthony's presence!
And Marigold's, of course.

Absolutely perfect. Merry Christmas Lady C!

Sweet, wonderful, lovely... just perfect!

I absolutely adore your writing, Lady C. What a gift you’ve given us. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

When I read something that is *really* well-written, I sometimes get a bit jealous. Right now I'm DYING of jealousy. How I wish I could write something that was half as vivid, and moving, and funny and witty and heartwarming as this story! It's delightful, simply delightful. "He tucks his good arm behind his back, a soldier giving a report, and flushes" - this single sentence is so poignant, so intense! But I also loved how smoothly the funny parts fitted in the story. “I say… Anthony Strallan's taking liberties with a woman out on our terrace” - I cracked up! Thank you for the wonderful Christmas present that is this story!

Sweet! Wonderful and Sweet! Hope they remembered to send Claudia Gervas a lovely Thank You gift!
Thank YOU and Merry Christmas.
