i've seen large chunks of that, not as good as what I've see of Wives and Daughters. Mostly I was startled I mildly enjoyed something Charles Dickens wrote.

LOL! So true! Although from what I've read of the reviews of Bleak House, they pretty much eradicated all the sentimentality that Dickens wove into the actual novel. So that might explain why it's so likeable.

And I *love* Wives and Daughters!

Yeah I haven't gotten to see all of W&D's which makes me sad. Have you seen the Alex Kingston PBS Moll Flanders? Now that's a fabulously cheeky rendition. And down with sentimentality.

Indeed! But no, I've not seen Kingston as Moll Flanders. I shall add it to my To See list. (Which is, at this point, as long as I am tall. Bother.)

okay, I'm bored and am soliciting an icon challenge from you. You pick an element, either a theme, pic, or piece of text and I will make you an icon. Sky's the limit or my imagination which ever give out first.

I knew you'd like it!

Harold Skimpole -- "I am a child, you know!"
Smallweed -- "Shake me up, Judy!"

OK, I will take those as challenges Not/Step of Horse. Prepare to be iconed. You too Omnia.

Do you still need a theme or are you set? ::is excited::

Are you Mlle. Pas de Cheval? Have you provided me with a theme, pic, of piece of text? Allow me to clarify, I am making additional skill building icon challenges based on Pas de Cheval's suggestions for her use and amusement. You have provided no such fodder and are a full icon and one half behind your friend. Please provide up to two prompts at you're earliest convience before the last five days of my fireworks trial are up.

Hmm. Two prompts. Okay. Let's see.... Valkyries. And, uh, John Singer Sargent. To mix and match, icon separately, or merely to inspire. ::performs flourishy bow:: Thank you, O Czarina! (Are you getting mneme_metis in on this too?)

if she ever posts again, but I will see her in RL and may mention it to her.

I do! I do like it! :D (Not that I'm even halfway through yet, but....)
