She treats him frostily and he comes away thinking that she’s kind of bitchy. Sir Harry proceeds to get himself invited to a party that Olivia will be attending for the mere purpose of twitting her about her spying on him. Olivia sees him looking at her and knows she’s found out so she stops spying on him to Harry’s bemused chagrin. This musing is ruined one day when he glances up at the window when he believes Olivia isn’t there. In fact, his annoyance kind of turns into entertainment as he debates internally how long she will keep watching him and why.

Sir Harry is annoyed that Olivia is spying on him but not so much that he stops using his study. She notices that he wears a funny hat with plumes and that he furtively tossed a whole sheaf of papers in the fireplace! Olivia is intrigued. She has nothing better to do so for five days she spies on her neighbor while he is in his study.

Olivia finds herself gossiping with some nitwits who suggest her new neighbor killed his fiance. Olivia’s problem is that she is bored now that Miranda has married her brother and hied off to the country-side. Has received a multitude of marriage proposals, all of which have been rejected and is currently being courted by a Prince. Olivia is the only daughter of the Earl of Rudland. Can’t ask for much more from a romance book. I don’t know if that is good or bad but I highly enjoyed What Happens. I vaguely remember Olivia, best friend of Miranda, younger sister of the hero but her flavor wasn’t with me when I started What Happens in London. I don’t remember much about The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever.
