Catching up! I finished the Raffles short story collections, which were lovely, and am onto the novel (Mr Justice Raffles). Lovely teas, particularly the White Winter with its hint of orange and mango. Not entirely seasonal but very nice.

Spoilers for Raffles )

It was a shorter session than intended today, so I may pick up the next story after quiz night.

And indeed I did return )

Session number two of the night has nearly finished my candle, and got me through The Black Mask; next up is A Thief In The Night. I absolutely recommend Raffles if you like Holmes/Watson. There is a very good reason that most critics read Raffles and Bunny as in love with each other. Bunny is certainly besotted with Raffles, and although he is an unreliable narrator, I feel like his reading on the situation tends to err on the understated side. The affection is clearly very mutual.
