half-serious remarks on the London ton.
Ok, take a deep breath and ... on, with my first post-icino!
I described caramel and talkative, sweet and mischievous.
Well, start by my mischievous side this "notebook". My
read voraciously in historical romance (and my passion for this kind of literature) is not darkening my rational side. That led me to think the following.
advantage of the Christmas break, are back from re-reading of:
1) all 4 books in the saga "Wallflower" by Lisa Kleypas , read in English;
2) all 6 books in the series "Slightly" ( the Bedwyn, for instance), in Italian;
3) the published volumes of the saga Bedegrayne Lisa Kleypas;
4) the published volumes of the saga Bridgerton, by Julia Quinn.

At this point, in addition to sigh, raising his eyes and tightening the volume of the chest, I have also imposed two considerations (a little 'naughty, but so be it).
The first, of course, is that this love sagas (me and people like me who loves the whole series of family stories) probably can be explained by the fact that continuity gives an idea of \u200b\u200bsecurity.
The second consideration is that the England of 1800, the golden age of the Regency period and my favorite for romance , was ... the land of plenty!
Think about it.
England is an island, not too wide.
The United Kingdom does not take even this whole island (there are Ireland and Scotland).
The stories that I love to read all are set in London or near London. Always
those stories are often centered in the season London.
Well
in a small portion of land, in a space-time calculated in weeks, a number of gentlemen gathered senior, died, rulers, rich, laconic and shoulder blades that stick-any statistical science.
Moreover, again to maximize the statistics, it requires that these gentlemen had only friends ugly, or at least look normal, just to fall in the average British male population worldwide.
(Moreover, I fear that people of such great and beautiful silent does not make a great conversation with White and other Club! ^ ^)
And what about the "swarm" of desperate heroines, beautiful, poor , virgins, courageous and caring, insensitive to the richness and pure of heart that swarmed in the ballrooms?
It is assumed that the clumsy, chubby or spotty perhaps, would serve only to by number! Or were shut in cupboards at home! Always love of statistics requires that each of the beautiful maidens he had a girlfriend ugly but nice, to trust his anxieties of mind.
Coming to the titles, I believe that the flock of dukes, counts and marquis, which soared on the nineteenth-century London look like a real army!
stuff that you meet a farmer or a merchant on the street, the office was a part of the protected species at risk of extinction.
We talk about the beautiful and daughters educated, but poor vicars in the country?
Those little men should not be as prolific as rabbits!
short, if we leave the magic of the single saga, or the individual story, and we place ourselves in a "sinister" rationality, this country was a bizarre conglomeration of beautiful, very dark and moody gentlemen, all intent on saving radiant, selfless and courageous young women desperate for a fleet of bad impressive.
But I do not know about you, but when I read some of my beloved romance, magic trumps considerations trivial as those set out above.
believe that each of us has clear in mind everything I've written here, and that it deliberately ignores.
When you read romance this is no time to rationalize, but to dream!
