Why this must be read: Miss Bartlett/Miss Lavish is one of the most obvious femmeslash pairings I can think of, and this story does it more than justice. It's a perfect coda to the novel, wonderfully-written and true to the characters. I adore stories in which lonely people find happiness, and this one made me sigh in satisfaction.
Miss Lavish, as a student of human nature, a world traveler, and a novelist, had met many people in her adventures. One of the most satisfying friendships that she had formed had been with a resident of Tunbridge Wells, a spinster (oh, how she loathed that word—let her be called a woman of independent means, or a woman of freedom, but why spinster?) by the name of Miss Charlotte Bartlett, with whom (after a brief but terribly enjoyable acquaintance in Florence) she had corresponded with regularly for a while.
It was to her great surprise and even greater disappointment that she received the letter some three weeks earlier, penned in Miss Bartlett's perfect curlicues, saying curtly that Miss Bartlett no longer wished to continue their correspondence, nor their friendship. That was the entire note, the new mystery to be solved, Miss Bartlett's unilateral dissolution of their friendship.
