I don't know how I've made it this far without ever seeing anything by Ibsen -- there have been performances in plenty but they always seemed to be taking place when I was doing things like recovering from giving birth. I should make more of an effort to check them out so I can finally learn more about him beyond "Nora slams the door when she leaves her husband at the end of A Doll's House."
Brat Farrar is excellent, but with Tey you just have to accept that snobbishness will be part of the landscape. Was the bit which disturbed you the bit about "losing" the stylograph? I didn't like it much, either -- especially since if the idea was the keep talk down, that would be impossible anyway with the discovery of Brat's identity (and unless UK small towns are substantially different from US ones, there is no way in hell that people would let that story die any time within the current century. I can't tell what Eleanor is thinking about that!)
