Dd has remembered a scene where someone eats someone else’s milk skin for them. She’s convibced it’s Marlows. I can’t remember it. Anyone?

I can’t remember it from Marlows.

There’s a recurring theme surrounding a parent eating skin from milk in Elizabeth Jane Howard’s Cazalet series.

Yes, that rings a bell. I think it involved Lawrie? Either Autumn or End of Term, I reckon.

My copies are in the loft so I can’t check!

Or Falconer’s Lure, as that’s the only non-school one I have and have read more than once.

Oh- I wonder if she’s remembering that. They occupy the same sort of position in our lives as the Marlows!

Rupert eats skin from Clary’s milk in the first book, when he and Zoe return from a night out to find Neville having an asthma attack.

Later when Rupert is missing, Archie Lestrange does the same for Clary.

I bet she is-I remember it now. Lovely Archie.

I can’t imagine any of Forest’s boys doing that. They’d make Anne do it for them........

Actually, not make her. Just expect her to.

I can't recall this from any AF book, sorry.
