I'd forgotten Marston of Damerel fame, you're quite right, of course.<br /><br />Not sure about Aspatria's book. She's unexpectedly fashionable and quite normal in life, but definitely a feminist of her time.Elizabeth Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09407958362024218785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-21832371201213888492017-12-30T17:48:48.872+00:002017-12-30T17:48:48.872+00:00I just loved this, Elizabeth.

Three cheers for Aspatria Glasson; please write her book at once! <br /><br />Georgette Heyer's delightful heroine Sophy Stanton-Lacy's name came from a small village near Ludlow. And Marston, of course, was Lord Damerel's valet and companion on his travels. <br /><br />I've always thought that Sampford Peverell (in Devon) would be a good name for the bastard brother of a hero. <br /><br /> Elizabeth Hawksleyhttp://www.elizabethhawksley.comnoreply@blogger.com
