Reading progress update: I've read 77 out of 400 pages.
"Betty, our adopted daughter, went to Africa," said Tommy, "Have you heard from her?"
To be clear, Tommy is talking to Tuppence. His wife. Betty's mother. I am glad that he clarified that he was talking about THEIR CHILD, because otherwise, I am sure that Tuppence would've had no idea who he was talking about...
So far, this has the opposite effect from By The Pricking of My Thumbs - nothing is happening. Although exploring classic children's lit with the Beresfords isn't completely charmless.
