Maria Carolina certainly used Emma and did nothing to help her in later years. Hi, Ellee, and thank you. I read that book and found it over-detailed, too. But I adored the R4 serialisation of it a few years ago.

But I am keeping a close eye on her. Oh, here she is: "Thanks for asking about me, Auntie Ellee and Uncle James. I'm OK and looking after my mummy again now. xx wags"Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-71183908134368692482008-03-09T18:04:00.000+01:002008-03-09T18:04:00.000+01:00Yes, Simi's health - is it better?Yes, Simi's health - is it better?James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-65951200151016931512008-03-09T16:42:00.000+01:002008-03-09T16:42:00.000+01:00I picked up Georgina, duchess of Devonshire, by Am...I picked up Georgina, duchess of Devonshire, by Amanda Foreman, but it's a huge paragraph.
