First published in 1973, later reissued under the title Roman Nights. For my summary of the premise of the Dolly series, see my review of Dolly and the Nanny Bird.
The competent young professional woman here is Ruth Russell, an astronomer working in Rome. ( no spoilers )
Maurice had style, panache, courtship, indeed adulation. Johnson had more woolly jerseys, and the recognition due to his profession. If you discerned in his anything remarkable, he forced you to recognise it with the eye of the intellect. [p. 173]
