OMGROFLMAO. Heyer's drunk brothers have got to be the most hilarious thing ever: The Convenient Marriage ~ Georgette Heyer Horry has just escaped the villain who was trying to 'ravish' her as revenge on her husband and she flew out of the house, into the streets and was running when she found her brother & his friend walking the streets foxed as the term is. It was just so ridiculous lol The Viscount looked at Sir Roland. "D'you suppose she killed him, Pom?" "Might have" said Sir Roland judicially. "Lay you five to one she didn't" offered the Viscount. "Done!" said Sir Roland ... The Viscount stepped into the room. "Came to see if you was dead," he said. "Laid Pom odds you weren't." Lethbridge passed his hand across his eyes. "I'm not," he replied in a faint voice. "No. I'm sorry," said the Viscount simply. He wandered over to the table and sat down. "Horry said she killed you, Pom said So she might, I said No. Nonsense." Lethbridge still holding a hand to his aching head tried to pull himself together. "Did you?" he said. His eyes ran over his self invited guest. "I see. Let me assure you once more that I am very much alive." "Well I wish you'd put your wig on," complained the Viscount. "What I want to know is why did Horry hit you on the head with a poker?" Lethbridge gingerly felt his bruised scalp. "With a poker was it? Pray ask her, though I doubt if she will tell you." "You shouldn't keep the front door open," said the Viscount. "What's to stop people coming in and hitting you over the head? It's preposterous." "I wish you'd go home," said Lethbridge wearily. The Viscount surveyed the supper-table with a knowing eye. "Card-party?" he inquired.

Listening to the audiobook, read by Richard Armitage...

Highly amusing story and style. I can see how this story isn't for everyone so I'm looking forward to reading Heyer's more popular works.

Meh.
