I've begun reading Mrs. Farrell and I'm delighted to inform you that it not only has a slashy pair, but also a femslashy one! Two for the price of one! I strongly suspect that they will all end up mixed and matched in heterosexual matrimony and then I will ship the OT4 but we shall see.

Howells is pulling no punches on the shippiness, by the way. Just in case the reader is slow on the uptake, he has Mrs. Farrell comment of Gilbert and Easton's friendship, "It’s quite like a love-affair.”
