Hilda Vaughan's novel, The Soldier and the Gentlewoman, is excellent. It's reprinted by Honno Press. I've been meaning to read more of her work, so thanks the reminder.
One of my A-level books was a play by Charles Morgan. I remember the line “Anyone for tennis?” as being in it, but that surely can’t be true. People did enter through the French windows, but that’s all I remember. Wikipedia is my friend, as ever, so I can tell you that it was “The Burning Glass”, and that it looks interesting—about scientific ethics. How strange that I recall nothing at all about it. But you’re right, no-one reads him now. However, you’ve made me want to read Hilda—and to visit that church!—not to mention make those cakes!!
