Sorcery & Cecelia: or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot

Sorcery & Cecelia: or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot (1988) Patricia C. Wrede & Caroline Stevermer (Cecelia and Kate)

Set in England in 1817

(Horace Walpole is by no means Aunt Charlotte’s favorite author, but the opportunity to hire the genuine Mayfair town house he genuinely died in for the Season has given her a new appreciation of him and his works.)

There are velvet curtains in the windows and a highly polished marble floor, upon which I slipped and sat down hard as we were being shown about the house. This was my first piece of clumsiness in London, but I suspect it will not be my last.

I cannot imagine how Aunt Elizabeth can believe that I have any sensibilities; she has certainly lived with us long enough to know better!

He looked at me sharply. “How much has she told you?”

“How should I know?” I retorted. “If one does not know the whole, it is impossible to say how large a part of it one does know.”
