And here we have an example (remember, our 2024 Wednesday is 1944's Monday) of obvious exposition as Allen Saunders basically tells his weekly readers what happened yesterday in case they don't get the Sunday paper.- Fading Fast

I haven't read "The Scarlet Pimpernel" (I have seen and enjoyed the Leslie Howard movie version), but what you just said echoed in my head with another book published in 1905, "The House of Mirth." In it, there is a pretty major character who is a Jew and he encounters some anti-semitism along...- Fading Fast

I don't think I've seen that Saint one. Based on your review, I'll keep an eye out for it now. Of the Falcon series ones I've seen, "The Falcon in Hollywood" and "Falcon and the Co-eds" are the ones that I remember liking the best.- Fading Fast
