[lace] lace reference in fiction

[Julie Ourom]

 Hi, all,


 I came across another bobbin lace reference in my reading this week:



Rutledge turned, crossed over to the nearest shop.  In the small window
fronting the road there was a collection of ribbons and laces behind a spill
of colorful embroidery thread, packets of needles, and an array of
handkerchiefs that reminded him of those he’d seen in Olivia’s room. As he
opened the door, a gust of wind and rain nearly jerked the knob out of his
hand.  Startled, a middle-aged woman looked up from a cushion of bobbins and
threads and a half-finished lace collar on her lap…She sank back into her
chair, somehow preventing the bobbins from rolling to every point of the
compass.  Then he saw that like the Belgian nuns he’d come across during the
war, she had pinned them in place.
 From Wings of Fire, by Charles Todd, one of a series of mysteries set in post
World War 1 Britain.  Well worth checking out.
