252 "But velvets and love-knots, pearl-sewn lace, and the fashioning of a corsage must necessarily interest a young lady"

328 Name as many novels as you can in which houses are broken into in the course of the action.

The common law definition of breaking and entering involves entering at night with felonious intent, but I am willing to waive both those requirements. I do, however, require that the break-in involve someone entering a house stealthily, and in an unconventional manner. Forcing one's way in past the servants does not count. Nor does breaking into an office or a hotel. I mean someone's residence. Each novel counts only as one answer, even if there's more than one break-in.
