But no, we are poking around the Beckfoot walls, looking for a damp course. Real clever stuff.
I don't know about 'clever', but it is fun and encourages thought about what life was like in the time and the places in which the stories are set. To many readers, England of the 1930s is in some ways not much more familiar than Mars. Actually, given the Martian summer surface temperature hovering around -50C on a toasty day, an English living room in a '30s winter would be not at all dissimilar.
