Antipathy among women to female characters is something I see occasionally, Audrey. Maybe you can explain it; I can’t. However, I will say in the lady’s defence that the character has changed from the earlier books. She’s much more responsible these days, and in my view (okay, my male view) more likeable. Enjoy Easter in Gullane, and sure, if you see me, say hello. (That’s very close to the title of one of Bob Dylan’s nicest songs.)
