Miss Pickworth,
Not to be too forward dear, but might we get the chance to read about any romance you might be involved in. It would be quite an experience I mean, to fall in love. Of course you said Miss. Jane Austen was always right and she said herself there's nothing better then a match well made. so any possibilities?
Yours Truly,
Miss Lynn
Dear Miss Lynn,
Miss Pickworth appreciates your interest in her personal romantic life.
She is also deeply affected by your reference to her esteemed colleague
and dear friend, Miss Jane Austen. But at the moment Miss Pickworth
must beg to retire to the drawing room for a moment and fan herself lest
she swoon at such a forward and impertinent question.
There. Miss Pickworth is feeling slightly better now, though she is no
more inclined to share her personal affections with you, dear reader, or
anyone else. Suffice it to say that she has enjoyed ardent attention
from the opposite sex. She also knows how to play the coquette and draw
the interest of whomever she pleases. Perhaps one day the author of the
'Miss Pickworth Series' will pen a tale about this columnist's personal
passionate preferences. But -- and this must be remembered above all
else -- Miss Pickworth is always the essence of decorum, tact, modesty,
and correctness. She would no more deign to tell you about her romances
than she would dare to ask about yours.
