literary vacation preview

Hooray.…my vaca­tion is a few days away and not a moment too soon.
As of Sun­day I will be mak­ing the British roads and camp­ing sites unsafe with my presence.

sallyFirst order of (mon­key) busi­ness: doing my adop­tive par­ent thing and visit Sally. I’m her par­ent now for four years, but I’ve never seen her in real life. Finally it’s happening!

the corinthian — georgette heyer

The Corinthian Richard Wyn­d­ham is des­tined to marry a woman he doesn’t really like because both the fam­i­lies will ben­e­fit by this arrange­ment. The night before he is going to ask her hand, he spends in a pub. Going home a lit­tle tipsy, he sees how a young per­son climbs out of a win­dow with a robe that is too short. Richard helps by catch­ing her…yes, it is a girl! A girl on the run for her arranged marriage.
