Beneath the Visiting Moon

by Romilly Cavan ...

Tom came running up, pulling at his socks, so that there seemed something hiccuping, drunken, in his progress.“We have been cleaning up,” he said cheerfully.Mrs. Oxford winced. These poor children in their menial roles—And here came Sarah, with a smut on her cheek.Left in genteel poverty by the death of their father, the Fontayne siblings—Sarah, Philly, Christopher, and Tom—are shaken when their ...

Wine of Honour

by Barbara Beauchamp ...

I wonder how many women today are back in their pre-war ruts. For how many was the war merely a temporary disarrangement and for how many others has it meant complete re-adjustment, an entirely new set of circumstances? This is a stupid thought for me to have when, even in my own case, I don’t know the answer.Helen Townsend and neighbour Laura Watson are unlikely friends as a result of serving ... Read more

It's in my mind to terrify that evil man from his morrow's sinful doings.""We'll be going to Old Manor, then?""Not yet," said Mrs. Pye grimly. "We go first to the village.

Apricot Sky

by Ruby Ferguson ...

"I'm haunted by an awful dread," said Raine. "It was a wedding Mysie once went to. The bridegroom never turned up and the bride swooned at the altar.""Have you practised swooning?"It's 1948 in the Scottish Highlands, with postwar austerity and rationing in full effect, but Mr and Mrs MacAlvey and their family and friends are too irrepressibly cheerful to let it get them down. There's Raine, newly ... Read more

Dear Hugo

by Molly Clavering ...

When the time comes for you to retire, Hugo, if you want a quiet life, don't settle down in the country. Bury yourself in London or any really large city, and you can live like a hermit, but avoid the outskirts of a village. I am dazed by the ceaseless whirl of activities in which almost everyone in and round Ravenskirk is involved.Sara Monteith makes an ideal correspondent for Hugo Jamieson, ... Read more

Rhododendron Pie

It was indeed very difficult for the Laventie children not to be a little priggish.Ann Laventie, the youngest of three children in a long line of anti-social Sussex gentry, doesn't quite fit the mould of her intellectual, elegant, ultra-modern siblings Dick, an artist, and Elizabeth, a high-brow writer. Their father is scholarly and just wealthy enough to focus all his attention on reading and ... Read more

At the end of the war, Mrs. Midge stayed on.
