primsongI fear I have fallen into it again - not posting anything, just reading other people's postings because their lives seem so much more interesting than mine, or I feel compelled to sum up too much. I will try once more to resurrect this journal, it being a new year - closest thing I have to a resolution!
That said, it is demmed inconvenient to be happily swimming through all of the Scarlet Pimpernel series and wanting to swoon and carry on and write about Sir Percy and not really having anyone to do so with. La! Just finished three more Pimpernel novels and am trying to hunt down the rest - odds fish, they are hard to find, 'tis monstrous intolerable. Also broke down and ordered the cd of the Broadway stage version (I would happily put up with the French Revolution if I could just have Chauvelin singing "Where's the Girl?" to me like that), and a dvd of the 1934 one with Leslie and Merle. Nothing beats Anthony Andrews version of Percy for me yet, though, and Ian McKellen remains the *perfect* Chauvelin.
A shame so many people only know the title novel - it really isn't the best in the series and Marguerite is a complete idiot in it, plus it bogs down too often... though the pepper-mill incident with Chauvelin's snuff-box is worth the entire book, hee!
