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?

We'd noticed it back in the 70s, and simply referred to them as Plot A, Plot B, Plot C and Plot D:

A is reading new Georgette Heyer:
B: I haven't read that one. Which plot?
A: C.
B: Fine, I'll look out for it.

Which plotline went with which letter?

I read somewhere that GH herself said she had A and B heros: dark and savage, and fair and loving :)
