Silver Guilt
Lina Townend and Griff Tripp are definitely my favourite antique dealers, as you'll know if you met them on their first adventure Drawing The Line.
They'll keep an eye out for the spectacle cases I collect, warn me if any china I want from their stall is in any way imperfect, and offer to exchange anything I buy which didn't suit the place I had in mind for it at home. Maybe Lina's a bit prickly, but the teacher in me admires the way she's fighting to overcome the problems of her childhood.
Apart from learning her restoration skills, she's learning about music and the stage, and is constantly trying to improve her vocabulary - she even has a little notepad to record new words. She owes everything to dear camp old Griff, of course, who plucked her from the jaws of delinquency and taught her all he knows.
