Guess The Connection

Mrs Blair

No, I don't think Hilary especially inherited anything major? But that I remember. But no, that's not it.

Tommy_A_Jones

Is it that their lives were all changed by Men,i.e. Simon Doyle, Rudi Shertz and Richard Baker albeit in different ways

Mrs Blair

Nope!

Tommy_A_Jones

Did they all take over from their Father in their Business

HerculeAndAchille

I don't think Miss Blacklock's father was mentioned very much - she took over from her employer, not her father.

Tommy_A_Jones

It was mentioned that he wouldn't let her have an op for her goitre I think In the BBC version It came across to me Cradock and Miss M had SOME sympathy for her in that respect

Mrs Blair

No, Tommy, that is not the connection. (I had a lot of sympathy for her too).

Tommy_A_Jones

Is Switzerland the Connection?

Tommy_A_Jones

Is the connection Cosmetic Surgery

Mrs Blair

No to Switzerland and no to cosmetic surgery. 

Tommy_A_Jones

Is it to do with Jewellery?

Mrs Blair

Aha! Yes, it is...

Mrs Blair

But, Tommy, the answer is more detailed than that.

Tommy_A_Jones

Do they all have Pearl Necklaces, which hide Scars?

HerculeAndAchille

I didn't think Linnet had a scar?

Tommy_A_Jones

Did they all have Pearl Necklaces which were mentioned in the Books they were in?

Mrs Blair

Yes, that's it. Letitia' pearl necklace hid her scar (she also wore other beads), Hilary's necklace glowed in the dark which provided a route for the various countries' intelligence agencies to track her, and Linnet's, which were of course real, were stolen on board the boat, confusing ze little man, although naturally only for a short while.

Your turn Tommy.

Tommy_A_Jones

Thankyou, Here is Mine.

Bill Eversleigh, Dolly Bantry Sophie Leonides

HerculeAndAchille

Did they all act as 'Watsons' to the detective?

Tommy_A_Jones

I suppose they did, Dolly definitely but that is not what I was thinking

Tommy_A_Jones

I will give you a Hint Lydia Lee could have been used instead of one of the People I chose. 

HerculeAndAchille

Is their connection important to the novels they feature in?

Mrs Blair

Is it to do with line of work?

Tommy_A_Jones

No and No

Tommy_A_Jones

I Thought as the Dancing Connection had nothing to do with the Plot I thought mine would be OK although others might not.

Tommy_A_Jones

Hint Think of the people they had feelings for

HerculeAndAchille

Alright - so Arthur Bantry, Charles Hayward and Bundle Brent. (perhaps Alfred Lee)

Tommy_A_Jones

I got the impression Bill loved someone else in the First Bundle Book

Tommy_A_Jones

I have always thought Bill was Fickle that way

HerculeAndAchille

Was that Virginia? I'm afraid I don't remember very clearly.
