Carstares smoothed the soft hair back from her forehead, very tenderly, but his eyes were worried.
"My dear, I will take you, but not just yet. There is so much to be done here. If you will wait a little longer—"
"Ah, if I will wait! If I will be patient and good! But I cannot! Oh, you don't understand, Dicky—you don't understand!"
"I am sorry, dear. I promise I will take you as soon as possible, and we will stay as long as you please."
Her arms fell away.

The Black Moth was Georgette Heyer’s first novel, and it shows. It's fun, but very lightweight.

It’s a garrulous little affair though, with too many characters straddling a frequently rambling plot.
So, Georgette Heyer's brother was sick, so she cheered him up by . . . writing this complex swashbuckling romance . . . as a teenager . . . and then beginning her prolific career. What an icon! I love her, I love her books. This one was great, not as frothy as some of her later romances, but actuall
This is the first GH novel I ever read many moons ago and started me on my life long love affair with her books.

I disliked it tremendously! Than, why am I giving it 2 stars? One is for the stylistics of the prose, a
