-=>While in the White Hart, Helen Fleischer explained to Fred Runk that<=-
 FR> I think I remember the Norths from a radio program--never did read
 FR> any of the novels--don't think I even knew there were novels
 FR> featuring them at the time.  Must be back in the late 40s or early
 FR> 50s.  The Norths were middleclass types in comparison to the high
 FR> society Charles.  Think they had a dog too--a mutt if I'm not
 FR> mistaken.
 HF> In the books they have a cat.  Well, more than one, as the stories
 HF> span quite a time frame.  No more than one at a time in any I've read
 HF> so far, but I'm only a little way into them.  I just got hooked on them
 HF> this year.  Wanted to read them in order, but couldn't find the second
 HF> one so I've skipped a bit.
A cat?  Wonder if the director decided a dog would be better.  I just might
look around for them.  It's been a long time since I saw them.  I suppose,
though, one might find them occasionally on a cable channel that specialized
in older movies.
 HF> I loved the scene where she was trying to make butter from table
 HF> cream, because they'd run out of butter coupons during rationing.
 HF> Reminded me of the time my sister and I tried to make butter. ;)
Also sounds something that Lucy might try.  
 HF> ... If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side.
Works for me.
... Love is chemistry; sex is mechanical engineering.
