Just started this. Definitely trying for the charm factor, and succeeding so far. Lady Hardcastle is an imposing woman; her servant and friend is smaller. Both are witty and engage in a back-and-forth repartee which is highly unlikely for early 1900's, but is also highly entertaining. Dead body soon, I'm hoping
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
