Conversation with the heroine…

of The Widowmaker

Lydia: He can’t talk to me like that.

Me: Oh, don’t go trying that maidenly miss thing with me. I know your deep, dark secret, remember? So don’t expect me to believe that you’d be all up on your high horse because he said :censor:.

Lydia: No, he can’t talk to me like that because they don’t use that word here in 1879.

Jack: So what am I supposed to say? Come and touch the proof I ain’t gelded?

Me: You hush.

Jack: Come and kiss the jackrabbit between the ears?

Me: You are not helping.

Lydia: You know, if we had batteries in 1879, I’d just walk away.

    And now I wonder what Jack did say.

    Then I’d have to get a toilet emoticon to go with it.

    :neener:

    I can just imagine the spam I’m going to get after hunting sites about the historical usages of sexual words.

    I can also just imagine that if I took all these conversations with my characters and compiled them, the men in the white coats would come and take me away.

    As I heard Suzanne Brockmann say in a workshop, writing is the one profession where we make our mental illnesses work for us. :crazy:

    Stop encouraging her. Next thing you know she’ll be trying to wiggle around on the player piano.

    :doh:
