[475] Tue 10 Jun 2008, 10:36 - grace - from: Australia In response to Cecily - pretty much definite it isn't a Heyer quote, I have read all novels except the great Roxhythe several times over, and it really doesn't strike me as her style. Villette by charlotte Bronte seems to ring a bell, but it has been a while since I read it, so I am not sure Rating:

[474] Tue 3 Jun 2008, 10:53 - Valerie Best - from: Canada Hi Dale: I think you would enjoy ARABELLA and FRIDAY'S CHILD. Two great GH books. Val Rating:

[473] Mon 2 Jun 2008, 14:38 - Dale LaDuke - from: United States Just read "The Foundling". It is my first Heyer book and I so thoroughly enjoyed it...I think I'll read another...any suggestions for a second? Dale LaDuke Rating:

[472] Fri 30 May 2008, 13:14 - elaine - from: Australia Georgette Heyer has the ability to take her readers back to a lost era but not only that she makes her stories and participants so fascinating it makes you feel your actaully there at the time and place her books can be read and reread without losing their appealelmarg@optusnet.com.au Rating:

[471] Wed 28 May 2008, 08:33 - HeyerFan - from: United Kingdom I don't think that is a Heyer quote - it doesn't seem her style. I did think Sense and Sensibility, but it isn't there either as far s I could see. Rating:

[470] Sun 18 May 2008, 00:00 - Corina - from: Australia Hi Cecily - about that quote, another book to try would be Northanger Abbey by Jane Austin - as I cannot recall this as being anything of the style heyer wrote Rating:

[469] Sat 17 May 2008, 15:31 - Angie - from: United States In response to Cecily's question about what she remembered as a Heyer quotation: "I will never again revert to that sick girl who found the real world so horrifying that she had to live in a fantasy night and day." I didn't recognize it either, and thought it might rather have come from Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility as it certainly expresses Marianne's feelings about her wish to die when she is abandoned by Willoughby.

[468] Fri 16 May 2008, 17:13 - M Chapman - from: United Kingdom I also don't think that Cecily's quote came from Georgette Heyer's Regency novels. She never wrote in the first person in any of them that I can remember and I've read all except "The Great Roxythe" and her heroines were mostly feisty or practical. A Bronte novel perhaps but even the wording feels like a more modern writer. Rating:

[467] Thu 15 May 2008, 11:15 - Mary - from: United Kingdom I am a frequent visitor to this site but this is the first time I have left a message, I never knew that there were so many others like me who go back to her stories again and again. In answer to Cecily's question, I'm pretty sure that this quote did not come form any Georgette Heyer regency story. Rating:

[466] Wed 14 May 2008, 11:39 - Morgan - from: United States The Talisman Ring is a good entry-level for the not-so-gently reared middle schooler, I feel - the history shouldn't be too overwhelming though the language could. But it's got witty dialogue and a rather rollicking (and slightly parodic) Gothic plot, too! Rating:

[465] Thu 8 May 2008, 04:39 - Corina - from: Australia On the front of some of the UK Arrow editions of the Heyer novels (they were reprinted only a couple of years ago) there are some pictures by Vittoriu Reggianini. Can someone tell me please where you can find others of his paintings (or prints of them) and what other Heyer books they are on, because they are absolutely gorgeous - and match the books so well Rating:

[464] Wed 7 May 2008, 01:00 - Cecily - from: Australia Hi I just found this site while I was trying to find a quote I wrote down from one of Heyers regency novels. Problem is that I did not write down which novel it was from when I wrote the quote over 10 years ago! "I will never again revert to that sick girl who found the real world so horrifying that she had to live in a fantasy night and day" I wrote the quote down because it is exactly who I was at the time and why I loved to escape into her books. Please help me to locate the book reference from which it came. Thanks a heap Cecily Rating:

[463] Sun 13 Apr 2008, 11:00 - pureheart - from: United States As requested, the English translation of Philip's rondeau in "Powder and Patch" -- To the Pearl that Trembles in her Ear This little pearl which trembles At the tip of your ear, and which whispers - I know not what - something tender and malign, Her manner at the same time modest and roguish; She's such a tease, but yet so devout. Look at this all as a gavotte, Where you advance, lean, and turn, Then in a fine movement you shake This little pearl. She's a star which floats in the heavens - A sharp lightening-flash which lights up a cave - A Will-o-the-wisp which draws me Out of my way, dazzles me, misleads me - (and Saint-Dantin's conclusion) ...in all, It annoys me - dammit - This little pearl!

[462] Mon 7 Apr 2008, 14:03 - Valerie Best - from: Canada Hi: I am so excited to have won the latest competition and I am looking forward to getting my book in the mail. I have just finished reading False Colours and hope to find a copy of the Toll Gate as it'e been a while since I read it. I have been a GH fan since I was 18 and I am now past 60! Rating:
