What a tremendous cascade of a sentence by Joan Aiken. Like opening a high cupboard and having a stack of objects tumble out, only to see them miraculously stack themselves neatly - egg/cake/soap/pocket/rain/lather/jaw/knife/satchel/shave/lid/coffee/tin/mirror. A Gene Krupa rhythm to it.

Joan Aiken is one of my all time favourite writers, I still re-read The Wolves of Willoughby Chase every few years.
