Bel sighed. I adored the house the moment I saw it ... There was no need to look at it properly because I'd seen it before.
Seen it before?
In dreams, said Bel vaguely. I suppose it must have been in dreams that I saw it all before. I felt as if I had lived there-I knew it so well, you see. I even remembered the scent of violets in the drawing-room.
The moment Bel Lamington sees the neglected Cotswold cottage called Fletchers End; she recognises a home in its dilapidated façade and overgrown garden (not to mention a drawing-room that smells of violets). She and her new husband buy the house from Roy Lestrange, a Naval officer serving overseas and the nephew of Miss Lestrange, the house's previous owner. A joyful period of renovation and settling in begins, leavened by her dear friend (and now neighbour) Louise Armstrong's romantic troubles. But when Roy turns up in England and takes a liking to Louise, and Miss Lestrange's old bureau turns up a hidden will, the happiness and security of all will be threatened. Fletchers End, first published in 1962, is a sequel to D. E. Stevenson's Bel Lamington (1961), also published in paperback by Dean Street Press and Furrowed Middlebrow. This new edition includes an autobiographical sketch by the author.
