Thanks from me too for those articles, gmw. I particularly enjoyed the Winter article, which I am still going through. Who knew that wire hair pins could be such a problem?

As you say issybird, Millicent's lack of awareness of her brother's character is odd. Of course she would not have been subject to his predatory behaviour and presumably had never seen him behaving in that way with other women. Also of course the fact that he was a mix of good and bad perhaps confused the way in which she saw and understood him.

Maybe AB got the idea of assignations in the shrubbery from her brother's affair with their employer's wife. Surely being visited in one's bedroom would be much more comfortable if it could be done!
