It was definitely water down there, too... *g*

I do agree about both Gilded Cage and O. Yardley... I'd actually wanted to read Murder on the Moor, but for the life of me coudn't find my print out - and I'd forgotten that GC was quite so ooc! To be fair, ML totally warns readers that it is... *g*

I always found O.Yardley's lads stretchable-to though, although they were always a bit posh-sounding, I thought, and sometimes a bit soppy for my liking, but the writing was solid enough and there was nothing specific enough that would throw me out of a story. Until I got to her later two zines, Two Lovers and A Lovesome Thing... I did buy the next anthology-zine of hers, Septet, which is the one that I'm reading now... some of the stories are a bit close to the edge again, but the two I've read so far have been readable... It's a good description - the divergences reached critical mass for me in those ones, and I just couldn't.... which is a shame...
