Put the following list of literary characters in descending order, first one being the one you most identify with, last being the one you least identify with.

Catherine Earnshaw, Lady Macbeth, Jane Eyre, Claudine, Anne Eliot and Scarlett O'Hara.


I'm fairly certain you know of all of them, but feel free to drop any out you don't know, and substitute one of your own choice.


I will admit to being unfamiliar with both Anne Eliot and Claudine. My substitutions delight me as they have been hand picked to better illustrate my nature. I substitute with Melanie Hamilton

I think you would like Claudine, Mrs P. She (along with her creator, Colette) was a woman who knew her own mind.

>>>We started with a chilled glass of Dom Ruinart Rosé champagne, which accompanies the starter, a light salad of arugula, poached pear slices and blue cheese, sorry, not Stilton. It is followed by a beautifully cooked filet of sole, which has been poached in a white wine sauce that is made by first chopping shallots and fresh baby carrots quite finely, sautéeing them in butter until they are softened and slightly caramelised, at which point the pan is deglazed with Macon Village Blanc. The sole is then added and cooked to perfection. It is served with more fresh vegetables on the side, again baby carrots and asparagus, since it is in season. We are actually drinking champagne with the entire meal, sticking with the Dom Ruinart Rosé. Since this is lunch, there is a simple cheese tray afterwards, with an excellent St. Félicien, which is local to my region, a Pierre Doré, from Burgundy, in honour of our hostess, and finally a lovely Stilton, as a compliment to you. There are dried fruits to go with the Stilton. And of course the bread is a meal in itself. For desert there is a fresh fruit tart of cherries and apricots, and for the chocolate lovers who may be present, a chocolate mousse, quite light, perfumed with Cointreau. Then coffe.<<<

Damn that sounds good - if I pay for my meal and sit at another table so you aren't disturbed from your activities with Michele in a corset, can I come too? LOL.

Well, I hope it either improves for you or something more to your liking comes along. Are you unpacked and settled into your house now?

Well I must say you surprised me with your second choice, but I am more than pleased at it. You are a romantic, aren't you?

No, no curve was intended. My suspicions as to which two heroines you might not be familiar with were correct, which is why I suggested using substitutes for your own choice. And as Steve said, you might just like Claudine.

Personally, Anne Eliot is my favourite Austen heroine. No matter how many times I read Persuasion, I become anxious for her. She is never silly, as so many Austen characters can be, and was simply misguided in her early years, as opposed to being foolish.

As for Jane Eyre, I thought it took a lot of backbone to walk away from Rochester on the morning of her marriage to him, wearing her plain governess clothes once again. It was interesting, too, that she was able to go back to him, once he could *see* the situation he wanted to put her in, by losing his sight, and only when he was blind could he see her as she truly was.

Is that your only question for me, Jan? lol

Of course you can come along, I don't think you will be permitted to either pay for your own meal or sit at another table, though, you had better join us. Wait until Steve comes back, he's the one making the guest list, final decision is his.

Now, my question for you. What will you be wearing to this luncheon? We know what Michele will be wearing, and what Steve and I both have on was described over on your board several months ago, so come on, how are you dressed?

Yes, I am indeed a bit of a romantic at heart, and I am also someone who has been able to achieve what I have in life largely as a result of my own efforts and not on account of having been born into any particular advantage. Wentworth's view of the ideal marriage as an equal partnership also closely matches my own.

As for Sir Stephen, he's been an alter ego of mine for quite some time: the similarities in our names, our shared nationality, as well as our particular kink.

LOL, well, I'm not that good with questions these days.

Now, to answer your question, of what I will be wearing.....

I will be wearing a four-piece set comprising of bra, garter, g-string and stockings. The style of the set is fishnet, with the bra having a satin strip down the middle of each cup, and criss-crossed across the front with pink satin ribbons. Fishnet makes up the remainder of the cups and bra straps. In similar fashion, the g-string is made of fishnet, and the garter is also of fishnet. The garter is panelled with contrast pink stitching, and is matched to the bra with the criss-crossed satin ribbon in the center. Outfit is completed with thigh high fishnet stockings with lace trim around the top.

Questions for you (I apologise for repeats):

What do you think of your new president?

If you had the power to change something about France, what would it be?

If you were offered a free trip home to the U.S., aside from visiting family, who would you visit next?

Any places you haven't been to in a very long time that you would like to visit again?

What was your best childhood memory?

If your husband gave you complete control over your sex life for one evening, what would you do to him?
