“I believe I have a good idea of what you mean by "professionalism." It appears to mean getting one's way by cheating and manipulat-ing. It appears to mean serving the dictates of greed and advantage rather than those of goodness and the desire to see justice prevail in the world. If that is the "professional-ism" you refer to, sir, I don't much care for it and have no wish to acquire it'

O.J. was a piece of shit. Zero stars for his shitty story.

This is getting boring and repetitive, like every other fantasy romance.

“It seems to me to have the serious defect of the modern English school of painting. A total want of thought in the rendering of the subject, disguised under dexterous technical tricks of the brush. When you have seen one of that man’s pictures, you have seen all. He manufactures—he doesn’t paint.”

So true of romantacy authors today. They manufacture the same thoughtless plot, the same stupid dialogues.

Lady Audely is evil. She rivals Lady DeWinter. 😳

Wow, the red herrings in this book. The characters were engaging & the mystery kept me interested through the end.

Given up. I’m bored

Too bored to continue

“Life is a difficult business,” said Mrs. Lorrimer. “You’ll know that when you come to my age. It needs infinite courage and a lot of endurance. And in the end one wonders: ‘Was it worthwhile?’”

Wait. What? Superintendent Battle? Number 7? 😲

And that letter to Virginia, it really was from Anthony. A plan to marry before he revealed everything to everybody. I did not see any of this.

Wait. What?! 😳 Anthony is Prince Nicholas?! I did not see that coming.

Yes! I knew Lemoine was an imposter!

Lemoine has to be an imposter.

It was at this point that Mr Standen, that most exquisite of Pinks, astounded the assembled company, himself included, by knocking him down.

Yes! 👊

‘I may be without sensibility, but I’m dashed if I’d sit tearing my hair out when a man came to tell me Kit was in trouble!’ retorted Freddy. ‘Much good that would do her!’

Freddy would do anything to help Kitty. ❤️

It’s funny, Kitty’s first thought is to go to Freddy for help & when she sees Jack she’s disgruntled. Things are turning around.

I daresay Freddy might not be a great hand at slaying dragons, but you may depend upon it none of those knight-errants would be able to rescue one from a social fix, and you must own, Meg, that one has not the smallest need of a man who can kill dragons!

‘It don’t signify what my Aunt Augusta does,’ replied Freddy, for the second time in his career astonishing Kitty by a display of courage which seemed to her to verge on foolhardiness. ‘Can’t do Kit a mischief: shouldn’t let her.

Freddy. Taking care of Kitty. ❤️

And she can say such cruel things!’ ‘Go away if she does,’ said Freddy. ‘Oh, Freddy, would you dare?’ she asked, laughing a little. ‘No question of daring: easy thing to do!’

Freddy’s my kind if male lead. 😘
