I settled in with The Uninvited Guests thinking I knew what kind of Edwardian pleasures were in store: the fraught dinner party in an endangered, rambling house, the feuding family, the rich suitor, the disruptive visitors.

I read it in one breathless sitting, and finished wanting to give it to everyone I know.

Advice is seldom welcome; and those who want it the most always like it the least.

George Chapman

You on your way out?" Jace nodded. "Dont want to overstay our welcome." "What welcome?" Magnus asked. "I'd say is was a pleasure to meet you, but it wasn't.
