I didn't care too much about the Wolfgang-Griselda romance, because Wolfgang isn't really fleshed out enough to make it very deep. I cared far more about Charles and Elsie's reunion than Wolfgang and Griselda's.

While we're on the topic (er, or a vaguely related topic): who do you figure the father of Elsie's child (well, first child) is? Herbert seemed the obvious candidate, lecher that he is, but it's one of the few "mysteries" in the novel that is never explicitly answered (that I recall, anyway).

And on yet another vaguely related topic, do you (as someone rather more familiar with Victorian England than me) figure the remarkably easy integration of working class characters Olive, Violet, Philip and Elsie (okay, I guess she doesn't actually integrate very much) into high society or at least middle class was realistic? I was having some doubts about that.
