The conclusion from studying them was that she wrote very non-linearly, lost her notes, forgot things, and cobbled her stories together somehow. She must have kept a lot in her head!Kaye Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596677617002735674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-52495702217538974032010-10-15T11:22:38.011-04:002010-10-15T11:22:38.011-04:00Thanks for the recipe, Warren.

The recipe seems very rich but then it would have been a special treat in a diet that wasn't as rich in fats and sugars as ours is today. <br /><br />I wouldn't want to live in any time except today. In the US of that time, I would probably have lived in a crowded tenement or on a failing farm. No one would have thought it was important to educate a female who wasn't born into a rich family. As for writing mysteries, are you kidding?<br /><br />We don't know who'll survive beyond their present time. I once heard Harlan Coben say the best selling authors he knew where generous to other writers and not resentful or jealous.<br /><br />Maybe I'll surprise my daughters at Christmas with Warren's recipe.Pauline Alldredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00847008019331163905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-5260443219176607152010-10-15T07:14:58.141-04:002010-10-15T07:14:58.141-04:00People's recipes say a lot about them.

I like reading Christie, but sometimes in the middle of one of her novels, I feel stuck in toffee pudding. So glad I didn't live during that era!E. B.
