Thomas "Tommy" Beresford is introduced as a young redheaded Englishman who fought in the Great War, wounded twice. Prudence L. "Tuppence" Cowley is introduced as a young woman with black bobbed hair. She is one of several children of a conservative archdeacon, and served in the Voluntary Aid Detachment during the Great War.

With the Great War over, jobs are scarce and both characters are unemployed. They are childhood friends and reunite after the war. They agree to start their own business as The Young Adventurers. They are soon hired by Mr Carter, a British intelligence leader. They are asked to search for Jane Finn, a survivor of RMS Lusitania's sinking who disappeared along with documents of a secret treaty.

Following the successful conclusion of their first case, Tommy is chosen as the heir of a rich uncle. Having fallen in love during the case, Tommy and Tuppence are engaged to marry.

Their second recorded case has them hired by Mr Carter again, on behalf of a government intelligence agency. They are placed as the new owners of the International Detective Agency, a recently cleaned-out spy stronghold. Their real mission is to intercept enemy messages, but in the meantime they handle their agency's cases.

The two successfully apprehend No. 16, a Soviet spy, and then decide to give up the agency. At that point, Tuppence reveals to Tommy that she is pregnant.

Their third recorded case takes place during World War II, and the couple has reached their middle age. They had retired from British intelligence long ago, and they were feeling sidelined. They are recruited by British intelligence again, to hunt German spies and fifth columnists. Their years out of service mean that they are unknown to traitors within British intelligence.

Their fourth case takes place when the two are a mature couple. Tommy's aunt Ada dies in the retirement home Sunny Ridge, and Ada's acquaintance Mrs Lancaster disappears soon afterwards. Tuppence is determined to locate the missing woman, and in the process learns of an unsolved series of child murders. Tuppence slowly realizes that she may be the killer's next victim.

Their fifth and last case takes place when the couple are elderly and at least in their 70s. They have reached their retirement years, and purchase an old house in a quiet village in order to live out their retirement in peace. But an old book within the house contains a coded message, concerning the "unnatural" death of Mary Jordan. The elderly couple decide to investigate a cold case.

Good morning Trissie and thank you for starting us off. I did like the Tommy and Tuppence stories!

WTG with your success with the tables, Gma! I do like your idea of putting a pretty cloth and some flowers on top to make it look special.

Church this morning , with weight loss clinic for Jude in the afternoon . We're supposed to reach 10C today, so no worries about ice, bit it's probably going to rain . I'll take it - anything is better than ice!

[Gma]

Thanks for a great start for Thursday, trissie!
It's time for me to head to bed. With a totally clear K table. !!! I think it's been at least a 4 day project. Maybe more. I forgot to continue keeping my journal. But to keep myself going on at least 2 days, I had to do my counting plan. It kept me up until 2 am, because I had a 100 item goal. 2 other 2 days were just "do what you can" and today was you can't stop until you are done. (I got to 75).
Along the way, I developed a plan for my (small) desk in the bedroom I call office, because there's no bed!
So when I get up in the morning, I will work on the dishes/ clearing counters/ etc. Then drive to the florist and pick out nice bouquet(s) for the table(s). I will probably get one bouquet, and the other table will get a different kind of centerpiece.
Meanwhile, I have been yawning, and I'm tired, so I'll say g'night.

WTG on a clear kitchen table, Gma! Sleep well!

Good morning LAnn -
how are your knees doing? You seem to be busy with everyone else... Hope your appt goes well.

A 100 item goal is ambitious, Kittykatt - WTG on getting to 75!
trissie - thanks for the start and all the info:)

I never got online yesterday: it was a day of running around... but, my hair got cut, so I feel much better
I did read your posts though...
found out that helia knits. I never knew that...
Bama, I'm guessing, your pup does not pull on leash? 120 lbs is a big dog! Mine is half of that. How is his toe doing?

Today's focus;

a mild day, so I will walk pup, likely at a park.
Hope to empty car so I can take it for a wash
Library drop off
PU at store on the way
DH drop off/pu
gym for me (in the evening)
laundry- as much as possible
cook.
front porch (cushions, blow, etc.)
Garbage/rec to curb

I would love to get to a bit of crochet... I need to make it happen
