Given a shot at time travel, teleportation and space travel (I would need a medley of all three) the place I would really love to end up would be between the pages of a Georgette Heyer novel! Amidst powders and patches, carriages and phaetons, waltzing away in cambric and muslin, wooed by Dukes or (and ;) ) Marquis, away from this humdrum life into a world of fun and romance. Albeit the chauvinism and regimentation inflicted on the ladies of quality in the name of delicacy and gentility are big put-offs, I find solace in the reasoning that I would never let myself be subjected to such tyranny, just like some of her protagonists.
On days when i feel under the weather, I make myself some strong coffee with a smidgen of milk, pick up one of her novels and curl up on the sofa under dim lights (just about enough to aid my reading) with soft music playing in the background. Today is one such day as I put my feet up with one of my favourites; The Convenient Marriage. The hero, Rule (Drool ;) ) is my teenage crush and comes second in my list, overshadowed only by the incomparable Mr. Darcy from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
That's about enough for today. I am itching to get back to my book and, sorry to say, finding you a trifle de trop! Au Revoir! :)
