The main one is, Walter should have been with Marion. He had a real connection with her. So what if her face wasn’t beautiful? He had a much deeper connection with her than Laura. But of course, in Victorian times, the child-like and delicate Laura would be considered the real prize.<br /><br />If you're into Wilkie Collins, you should really read The Moonstone. It's essentially a great detective novel before that was really a genre. And an underrated Collins work is "No Name", which is harder to come by, but the characters and their machinations are amazingly drawn. The main young lady there is very flawed, but is a woman of action, unusual for the time. If you can't find it anywhere else, it's available for free download on gutenberg.net<br /><br />Mazal Tov on your upcoming marriage and stay happy and un-stressed!Rabba bar bar Chanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11450815030297601918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-18133946089306338862010-08-12T10:48:01.944-04:002010-08-12T10:48:01.944-04:00Huzzah for another one of Chana's amusing post...Huzzah for another one of Chana's amusing posts!<br />[Something sunny on this rainy day--as I'm stuck in the proverbial "Lion's Den"]<br /><br />Glad to hear you're amused with everything. From working in an office surrounded by females, yes, you are an exception to the rule with your wedding. [That combined with the stories I hear from The Sister].<br /><br /><i>I have been offered every method known to man to slim down before my wedding. Facebook tells me about diets and women in stores try to sell me all sorts of contraptions</i><br /><br />I think I'll speak for many when I say that you definitely do not need to lose weight! [Lest alone on one of those silly crash diets that are more about the seller lining their pockets then the dieter's success]. Okay? <br /><br />As for "Facebook's intelligent ad algorithm"...I give it credit for making me laugh. <br /><br />Please do share more of the fun stories about you and your fiancee!The Cousinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-46935017845215118572010-08-12T10:31:06.927-04:002010-08-12T10:31:06.927-04:00Fascinated to learn your point of view on things. ...Fascinated to learn your point of view on things.
