Victoria Wren

[Heikki Raudaskoski]

Cf, of course, also:

"Over on the coast the Wrens work late, down inside cold and gutted
shells, their blue torches are newborn stars in the tidal evening."
(Viking GR 130)

"It was Friday evening, last September, just off work, heading for the
Bond Street Underground station, his mind on the weekend ahead and his two
Wrens, that Norma and that Marjorie, whom he must each keep from learning
about the other, just as he was reaching to pick his nose, suddenly in the
sky, miles behind his back and up the river *mementomori* a sharp crack
and a heavy explosion, rolling right behind, almost like a clap of
thunder." (Viking GR 25)

Besides, if memory serves, a few other Wren occurrences in GR.
