I do enjoy these books, but the Edwardian romances that he indulges in — and this was not written in 1908 — is a bit thick!

4.5. Another fine Thorndyke novel. One has to have a taste for this sort of thing, and a certain patience and love of detail. So Freeman is not for everyone. But for those who like it, this is an excellent addition.

‘You look perfectly recovered now.’
‘I suppose I do,’ she answered with a smile. ‘There have been restoratives, you see.’
‘So there have,’ I agreed, and ex abundantia cautelae, as we lawyers say, I added a sort of restorative codicil even as the quick footsteps pattered across the yard.
“Restoratives” & “codicil” here being the Edwardian euphemisms for “smooch”
