    I am certain it’s a matter of different times and all that, but each of those women seems awesome and all of the guys seem kind of pathetic. In all of those, the guy seemed like he had the least to offer.

    These are just moods. I’ve been every single one of these wives based on my mood. I must be a nightmare to live with

        Yes and no. The two occasions for the flapper headband were under 12, and only because I was born in a village that loved to put on shows. Participation for children was mandatory to my memory.

        I have not yet solved a murder mystery. There is still time. I have read the complete works of both Wilkie Collins and Arthur Conan Doyle, so I’m ready when opportunity presents.

          I think my dream girl is someone who solves a murder mystery while wearing a flapper headband. Like she’s ready to go to some big party involving super long cigarette holders but she carries a magnifying glass and a notebook in her purse and she doesn’t hesitate to start looking for clues and talking to witnesses when everyone finds the body sprawled on the drawing room floor!

    Because in every Animal that walks upright, the Deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles appears first in the highest Part: The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts continuing to the last as plump as ever: So that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement.

    Benjamin Franklin in his letter, “Advice to a Friend On Choosing a Mistress.”
