Mrs. Best-Chetwynde, as Lady Metroland, makes a small, and much less dramatic appearance. In <i>Put Out More Flags</i>, Peter Pastmaster is not a heroic figure, but he is an officer of the Household Cavalry, and usefully employed at least while his war shall last.<br /><br />Yes, the English public school gets rather harsh references from Grimes and Pennyfeather, doesn't it?Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819154529261482038noreply@blogger.com
