Thanks, everyone, for stopping by this Classics Circuit post! I really wanted to address each one of you individually, but it’s hard with so much to do before leaving for spring break a couple days from now.

And, thanks, Katrina for letting me know what “lickspittle” means !

I love historical fiction so may give this book a try though I must admit I didn’t enjoy the G.H. regency romance I read as a book club read. That said I’m not really into romances full stop so may well enjoy her historical stuff.

Sorry you didn’t like Lord John. I have only tried Heyer’s regency romances and I would definitely recommend them!

Can’t say I blame you for not finishing it! I have a hard time with books written in dialogue — I’m glad I wasn’t an English lit major as I would have been forced to read Chaucer. Dodged a bullet there!

But I read one of Heyer’s mysteries and it was quite pleasant. I wouldn’t give up just yet.

Thanks for the clarification about “lickspittle.” I shall have to try to incorporate it into my vocabulary. Of course I rarely use toady or sycophant. . . I love English vocubulary.

Oh dear, I don’t think I can deal with that medieval language, either! It doesn’t surprise me that she fills her books with that, though, as even with her Regency books, Heyer does it with the slang.

Hmm…a little *too* medieval for me too, I’m afraid I want to try Heyer at some point, but I’ll learn from your mistake and not start here

I love that passage you kept stumbling over! I tried to read it 3 times, and decided to come back and have a go at it right before I want to fall asleep: it’s perfect! :–)
