It took me a long time to work out that 'Miss Peckwitt' was the author's name pronounced in a Gaelic accent... and that 'Becky' was likewise a schoolyard nickname rather than her actual Christian name!

Finished The Hills is Lonely, which ends with a riotous wedding celebration. On to The Sea for Breakfast.
