For discussion of these chapters

[Rebecca]

The Burglary chapter was fun I loved the rolling of the ball under the bed. Her dream of a baby was sweet. I was glad it gave her joy since she had never had any children of her own.

[Jenn]

I just love the chapter about the Panic with the robberies. Sometimes I forget that I am reading a book about old ladies. They are just too hilarious and adorable at the same time!

[Martha]

I love that chapter, too. I also love their reaction to the upcoming wedding and their uncertainty about whether or not to approve. They are such snobs, but lovable ones.

It was a great number of chapters I think. I very much enjoyed the robbery scenes and did laugh a bit at the idea of the upcoming wedding. They are adorable ladies who are so very British and as such are strictly by the book. I am hoping Peter does reappear in the coming chapters.
