\"\"
\n“Five for Heaven” (2019) A Charm of Magpies 3.5
\nSet in Nagasaki, three years after A Flight of Magpies<\/em> (15 pages)
\n“A Confidential Problem” (2016) Society of Gentleman 2.5
\nSet in England in 1820 (14 pages)
\n“A Private Miscellany” (2016) Society of Gentlemen 3.5

These are codas and outtakes from various series. None are stand-alone stories, but if you’ve read the books then you should enjoy these.<\/p>\n

As a bonus for me, several of them didn’t even have any boinking.<\/p>\n
