I'd envisaged something much, much worse.

You dirty mind, you! Given that [livejournal.com profile] antisoppist has told us that Harriet is clad in stockings, fur coat and eiderdown (at a minimum, though taking off a cloth of gold wedding dress if sleeping in a haystack might not be a terrible idea), and the haystack is rather unstable, I feel logistics alone might present a problem for much more than enthusiastic snogging, or any other activity that can't be done when vertical, mostly dressed, and with due sensitivity to the prospect of hay in unwanted places.

I had to get the gypsies in somehow! I like to think that joint defeat of car thieves will aid the getting-over-the-angst about the house, though of necessity I skated over the issue of how Peter manages to climb silently out of a haystack (I await the reality police at any moment).

I think the ninth Mrs Merdle appears in Unnatural Death, so 17 by this point seemed entirely reasonable.
