Our copy is alright, so here's what it says:<BR/><BR/>"... a respectable suburb. Its terraced Regency-era houses basked in the sunshine...".<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16586584.post-31415216819639131652008-04-12T23:38:00.000+02:002008-04-12T23:38:00.000+02:00It's an interesting book, isn't it?
