Hi,
Thats stunning, so am I. And I'm at the same part of the book too. Doesnt he write with a wry sense of humour!?
I just got to the bit where they are finally financially solvent. I think thats about 1940, at the same time war was raging in Europe! I'm reading another book at the same time, so I'm sure you'll get way ahead of me.

Perhaps we could share our favourite quotes here as we come accross them?? - when we have time.....
