incandescensThe weather has definitely turned colder. Autumn is here.
While passing the newsagent today, I saw -- the Daily Mail, I think it was -- making weather predictions of an even colder and snowier winter than the last one. Since I do not buy the Daily Mail, I cannot comment on any of the article that wasn't on the front page, but I do hope that they've got it wrong.
(Time to make some more quilts and shawls, if they're right . . .)

Mary Elizabeth Braddon (author of one of the first sensation novels, Lady Audley's Secret), now with nearly sixty novels to her name, and an invalid husband to support, produced One Life, One Love. In it she repeats the long-hidden-murder motif, enmeshed in a story of the Paris Commune, double-identity, heroines regularly going mad and a plot so confusing that there is no real resolution, because, I strongly suspect, the author could not quite work out what had happened, and understandably did not want to read it over again.
