Though I imagine he looks a bit like this:
And maybe some of this:
Occasionally he looks like this:
But mostly it's just this:
Probably without the mobile phone I like to imagine he's using there and all the laughing.
Lord Bramhope never laughs. He strides around the halls of some Gothic-y mansion, telling me lies about the strange moaning sounds coming from the attic. I catch him lurking in the darkness, and strike a match that illuminates his groin weakeningly blue eyes. But not in a Wayne taunting Garth with a torch and the movie Leprechaun sort of way.
More of the sort of way where he then takes me roughly on something that sounds like it's from them days, like a credenza or a doily. It's possible that he could also be doing filthy things with the maids, but sometimes I like my historicals to have everyone as repressed and oblivious to sex things as possible, and then WHAM! Sex hits them like a doily to the face.
Plz 2 b writing more of these, authors. I can't write it myself. I keep shoving televisions and can openers and the wrong sorts of shoes in there. They had flushing indoor toilets in them days, right?
I believe electric doilies were standard by the Regency.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeremy!
Ev0l muttonchops Fassbender. All dark and sexy like an After Eight.
ReplyDeleteYou know I have a hankering for dark lords - especially when they have tight breeches and played by Ralph Fiennes. He knows all about sex doillies.
I have a dreadful Victorian cad character who murders heiresses in impossible situations for their money. Sort of like Flashman but with one eye.
LOL! "Sex hits them like a doily to the face" !!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm glad you're back, Charlotte...
Fancy going to a wake?
I think I am back. I'm back in fighting form!
ReplyDeleteAnd I wish wish wish I could go to the wake, but I'm on blinking holiday, aren't I. So peeved that I can't come. Oh, the people I would possibly meet! Oh, the amount of pants crapping I would have done!
Damn! I shall have to clench my sphincter in your name then.
ReplyDelete;-)
Hope you have a lovely holiday though!
