Elinor Proposes a Topic:

To wit: I had an idea for a blogtopic in the course of corresponding with Peony. What fictional character or characters have you ever fallen in love with? I haven't comment boxes, so email me or reply on your own blogs. I'll go first: Henry Tilney from "Northanger Abbey".

I'm not actually going to participate as it would reveal to the world what a sentimental basket case I really am. Bang would go my reputation as hyper-masculine piper guy. Can't have that. What would happen if the world found out that I was smitten entirely by Jane Eyre?

[Uh-oh. Did I write that out loud?]
