Incident in Berkeley Square will be out Monday, 2 November. I’m so excited to have it out in the world and be able to discuss it with readers. Last week I shared the pendant that was my inspiration for the pendant Malcolm gives Suzanne. Above are the earrings that were my inspiration for the blue topaz earrings Raoul sends to Laura before the book begins and that she wears to the ball (the earrings above are green quartz).
We had fun on the Google Group with readers guessing who some quotes from the book belonged to. Here are a few more to while away the time until 2 November. For any or all guess who is speaking, whom they are speaking to, and if you like speculate on the circumstances in which the quote is spoken.
- “Ten minutes, and you’ll never know anyone was here.”
- “Thank you. For being who you are.”
- “I think the only thing to do is seek refuge on the dance floor.”
- “No, I know, safer that way, for him and me. Doesn’t stop me from worrying. He’s not hurt?”
- “I think you’re doing both of you a disservice. Where do you think he got those ideals in the first place?”
Have a wonderful Halloween weekend! Here are Mélanie and me at the Jack-o-Lantern Jamboree at Children’s Fairyland last weekend.
Happy All Hallows’ Eve!

This list is harder and I am having a really hard time. I think…
1. Raoul to Malcolm regarding the unexpected visitor in the library/study
2. Suzanne to Malcolm
3. Raoul to Laura
4. Laura to Suzanne about Raoul.
5. Suzanne to Raoul talking about his influence on Malcolm.

Those all make a lot of sense, Kim, but actually none are completely right. Some are right on who is speaking or who is being spoken to and some on circumstances, but none on all three. I really went for obscure ones this time!
Do lots of room for others to speculate…

Looking at your answers again, Kim, I realized part of everyone one is correct, just not the whole answer. I may post hints tomorrow!

A couple of people have told me the quotes are hard, which they are. So for those who’d like clues, scroll down for a list of who is speaking and who is being spoken to. Still plenty of challenge in matching the names to the quotes.

Being spoken to (one of them twice):
Malcolm
Suzanne

After your clues, I am still having a hard time; however I have changed a few of my answers to add the new names.
1. Harry to Malcolm regarding the unexpected visitor in the library/study
2. Laura to Raoul
3. Simon to Laura after she saw the visitor
4. Rupert to Suzanne about Bertrand
5. Suzanne to Raoul talking about his influence on Malcolm

Excellent, Kim! Several are spot on. But not quite all, so plenty of room for others to speculate…

Happy Halloween! Very excited Incident will be out in twenty-four hours or so. Here are the answers to the quiz. Spoiler space if you’re still guessing. And if you read the answers, what are your guesses as to the circumstances in which the lines are spoken?
