Would you tell me the meaning of the words? Would you tell me the meaning of 'In these little period gems' in the sentences below? What does 'their' of 'in their sleepwear' point out? In these little period gems I am always delighted when a murder has occurred in the middle of the night and the suspects are summoned to the drawing room in their sleepwear. Thanks in advance!

It sounds as if this is referring to a story or a film, so "period gem" refers to these delightful stories or /films from or about a different time period. "Their" refers to the suspects, the people suspected of having committed the crime. In old British mysteries, the detective often summons everyone to the drawing room in the middle of the night to identify the criminal.
