“I think myself I ought to be shot for writing such nonsense .... But it's unquestionably good escapist literature and I think I should rather like it if I were sitting in an air-raid shelter or recovering from flu."

[As quoted in Jane Aiken Hodge, The Private World of Georgette Heyer (p. xii).]”
― Georgette Heyer
