Tanydwr, you could always use the old I-sewed-my-gown-to-my-embroidery-by-accident-and-had-to-rip-it-free to explain to hubby why your lovely silk gown was in tatters on those days when the boyfriend drops by. 'Course the boyfriend would have staggered out, blinded by the projectile pins his passionate pawing released! Hah!
Susannah, in the days of no drawers, I reckon you could still get in a little slam, bam, thank you ma'am by flipping up the skirts and the 1.2 million petticoats underneath. Let's face it, the poor Victorian women had their work cut out for them in comparison. By the time they got out of all those clothes, the guy would be asleep. Or so old it wouldn't matter any more.
Lil - Duels? Suicide? Shelley? This is right up my alley. Now I really do have to find out about this guy.
Herder of Hamsters - thank you for the Gutenberg tip! I'm going to plunder the place and see what goodies I can find.
These conversations with all of you is helping me keep focused on ONE book. This has been my single biggest obstacle in actually finishing anything! Thank you all for engaging with me and with each other!
