I have to thank you, though, for doing such a great job of making yourselves real to us, your readers, so that whenever I feel sad about this, I can focus on how it's a good thing for you, people I care about, and not make it All About Me.
I wonder if there's a way to let the community live on without all the work...

Thank you for giving Edith and Marigold such a wonderful future, and for being so true to Mary's character and Branson's potential.

(I can easily imagine Marigold still with us as a very elderly lady, having lived a fascinating life. I'm convinced that having had enough of secrets, Edith would have told her the whole truth at some appropriate time, and that Marigold would have grown up well loved and probably even well educated, with a mother in the literary world and ample resources.)

The first World War was absolutely brutal on the male population of Britain. But how about the second? I may be too influenced by last summer's reading of the Jill Paton Walsh continuation of the Wimsey books, but I'm worried about Master George. Would he have been likely to survive World War II? Would his aristocratic status have kept him on the sidelines unless he insisted on enlisting? If he had gone off to war, what were the odds on his survival?
