@JaneAustenHouse I have been here several times and love each visit. So evocative and wonderful to walk where Jane walked.

Have you read GEORGETTE HEYER'S REGENCY WORLD, by @JenKloester?

It contains a wealth of information on the Regency life in Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen's novels. I was researching carriages and coaching today and wanted to share this tidbit about 4-In-Hand carriages.

"The four-in-hand, also known as a drag, usually referred to a closed carriage pulled by four horses such as the Mail and the public stagecoach. Similar in design to each other, these carriages were built to accommodate both people and freight, with a solid central body suspended over a wooden perch undercarriage with springs, a large boot at the rear with a seat for outside passengers and another space for luggage under the driver's box. The roof was also built to hold passengers as well as luggage and the total weight of a four-in-hand could sometimes exceed three tons. A sizeable coach had room for six people inside and eight to twelve persons could find room on the back, on the roof and on the coveted seat next to the driver." Chapter 8

I highly recommend GEORGETTE HEYER'S REGENCY WORLD. It is both informative and entertaining.

@RoyalVariety I saw so many of his shows. There was no one like Barry Humphries. Incredible repartee and sheer brilliance of mind. He and his alter egos will be forever missed!

@jk_rowling I'm learning Italian and am so grateful for Harry Potter e la Pietra Filosofale which I read with help from my much read and loved English copy. Such a great learning tool, thank you.

@DouglasSkelton1 It was there last Sunday. I saw it.

@LBABooks @Neko_Akage Love to read your article. Which magazine?

[Jennifer Kloester @JenKloester]

@LBABooks It's a great movie.

[Jennifer Kloester @JenKloester]

@LBABooks I think it's very likely. She certainly went to the cinema when they are living in Sussex in the 1930s as there was a cinema in Horsham near where they lived. I'm pretty sure she mentions it a couple of times in her letters but not a specific title.
