I've noticed that there are several pairs of Georgette Heyer's books that have similar plotlines and characters; Lady of Quality and Black Sheep; April Lady and The Convenient Marriage, and Charity Girl and Sprig Muslin.

I suppose she wrote so many books that she was bound to reuse elements. Does anyone have a distinct preference for one out of a pair over the other, or discovered any more similar ones?

Whatshername is Hatty, I think. She reminds me a bit of Jenny from A Civil Contract—I almost typed Campaign—and she and Gilly are both sweet, together or apart. I love when she asks him if plain Mr Dash always embrace females in hackney-carriages, and Gilly says, 'When not in gaol he does.'

Hero in Friday's Child has just run away when she encounters Sherry, if I remember correctly, so that's at least six.

I remember her sitting on a wall dithering about running away when Sherry finds her, but she certainly does so later.

I don't think Will has many illusions about Elizabeth and her taste for piracy, but he's certainly one for noble stupidity.

I ship Jack / That Horizon, and I think I probably ship Elizabeth / That Horizon, too

Jack/Elizabeth/Horizon threesome! :-P

The Horizon steals all The Rum. Finis. :)
