Another good one

In the interest of full disclosure I must admit to finishing another terrible novel. Stayed up intil 1 a.m. to do it too. Then couldn't get to sleep due to the deep well of shame and horror in which I was dwelling at that point. This addiction stuff is hard on a person. A few fun facts to add to my store of knowledge:

1.In 19th century England they only used the word chit to describe any female between the ages of 8-60. Numbers don't lie.  22 times in one book. Twice in one paragraph.

2. Any man not completely besotted with his wife had the morals of a really perverted, very slutty alley cat.

3.If a man doesn't turn pale, shake and become tongue-tied when he sees you, you're hideous. Accept it and move on.

4. If you do find yourself in the aforementioned state of absolute hideousness, all you need to change it is a new dress that shows more cleavage and some new underwear.

5. The only men worth having are the severely damaged ones you have to fix. The rest are really boring or mean mean mean.


6. All pretty girls have horrible personalities AND slightly less moral fiber than the man mentioned in #2.   

7. Fear not; no matter how reprehensible your behavior, true love will save you.

8. Poor people have more WAY more pride than rich people.

9. If you were an even remotely attractive lady in the 19th century, you had been kidnapped at least twice by your 21st birthday and could plan on being propositioned 4-5 times a day. 

10. Aproximately 95% of English aristocrats were very concerned with the welfare of their servants and treated them like family. Even to the point of giving them money for no good reason.
