Dorothy very sensibly limited herself to dropping a few hints! It's an amazingly effective technique and I have Taken Note.
Bunter doesn't actually have to know, just the reader - I did try writing earlier scenes but it all got a bit saggy and out of hand, so I think it has to be a vignette and adhere to the Unities. And I suppose I could leave the plot as Hints myself, but it seems like cheating, somehow.
I am greatly looking forward to Bunter Enjoys Pickled Gherkins (though I should have thought floppy-haired public school types playing croquet would be inspirational rather than otherwise).
