If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?
I thought I didn’t have an answer, then realised that I could see myself as Elizabeth Bennett but definitely not the quieter and more genteel Jane.
I have a strongly developed masculine side and I wouldn’t weep into a handkerchief I would throttle you with it.
Upset my delicate feminine sensibilities and I will give you such a lecture that you will wish to God you’d never said a word apart from ‘lovely hat’.
That’s because pushing someone down the stairs is wrong. Nor are you allowed to strangle them with their cravat!
The one thing I got right the second time I married was I fell in love with an equal, well almost, he is a man after all (kidding).
The first time he made me cry he asked “have I upset you?” He was met with “yes you damned well have!” I told him exactly why in exquisite detail. I will never forget his reaction:
“Thank god for that, my ex used to say she wasn’t upset whilst sitting there crying and I couldn’t deal with that! At last a woman who tells me straight!” We talked it out and we were fine, as we always do.
So yes Eliza Bennett because D’Arcy is the kind of man I could deal with. Hopeless enough with women to be charming, yet respectful, and quietly strong. Reminds me of someone I know.
Best love
