And now that dilemma is settled! Thanks, Scott. I have read one or perhaps two of the Susan Scarlett novels - cannot remember which - and so looking forward to more.<br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-69503515808450840022022-06-20T13:10:03.000-07:002022-06-20T13:10:03.000-07:00These sound so lovely!

And in the UK Jessie Matthews revived her career in the 1950s/60s as the eponymous heroine of ‘Mrs Dale’s Diary’, a radio serial - the epitome of ‘Furrowed Middlebrow’. Loved all the Scarletts.
