Wrong Hands by John Atkinson for August 07, 2018

To get off the fainting couch, do you have to roll doubles?

A few years back there was a Jane Austin “pick your adventure” book written for adults.

Yes!

Quite good synopsis of Ms Austen’s works made into a perfect game for a rainy afternoon.

I originally misunderstood “take to your bed” under the “nobleman turns out to be a scoundrel”. Sorry my brain was in the present century.

I bet Toffeebottom has sweet buns.

With whom did we think Toffeebottom was smitten before we realized it was us?

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”

And a single woman, destitute with no prospects but is otherwise pretty and charming, must be in want of a husband with a good fortune.

Quick, roll the dice and let’s play the game!

There’s nothing like a game where you win by becoming Lady Toffeebottom!

tuns? Editor?

And people wonder why I prefer Charlotte Bronte?
