Well, I must say I am thrilled to have learned of Kenneth Roberts.  After I 
got into Arundel a little ways it got so's I couldn't put it down.  As soon 
as I finished that, I got Rabble in Arms and gobbled it up in just a few days 
(3 maybe).  Just got back from the library with the Lively Lady.  And, after 
that will read whatever's next in the series.  After I finishe the series, 
I'll go back and read Arundel, agin, a little more slowly.  I fear that I 
sped through it so fast that I missed a lot of the subtleties.  I cannot 
remember when I have enjoyed an author so much.  These are incredible 
adventures in stories abolutely compellingly told.
