I always liked/got along with the Miss Cromwell types -- although they were not so much "ferocious" as "bitchy." Still, one generally knew where one was with them.
Yes, The Daughter of Time was my first Tey novel and now I've read them all to bits and regularly wish she'd written dozens more -- although I suppose if she had, there would inevitably have been some drop-off in quality à la Agatha Christie....
Alan Grant is another of my long-lived literary crushes.
