I'm quite sure, Sandy, that you would've scoffed at wearing such a ridiculous and debilitating thing as a corset, and as such, would have survived hale and blooming to the end of any Victorian novel!

I know EXACTLY what you mean about the Victorian novel character. It occurred to me while lying abed that Austen would not have written disparagingly of my lingering illnesses and Dickens would have killed me off in the 3rd installment of the novel just to get me out of the way of the main characters' happy ending.Anne Greenwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035223581364501579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311201101178073119.post-67915659415372075392010-06-29T13:57:53.825-05:002010-06-29T13:57:53.825-05:00Supervillainess, thanks for the good wishes.

I also feel the sting of being one of those "Victorian" ladies on the sickbed.<br />The upside is at least it helps us appreciate our health while we have it, right? And also, I've written some pretty good poems while sick - in the recovery phase.<br />Best of wishes for a speedy recovery and robust good health!Supervillainesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03721829125190373978noreply@blogger.com
