AIBU Books Game Part Eight

[ElephantsAndMiasmas]

Post an AIBU from the point of view of a fictional character (from novels/nursery rhymes/plays etc) and everyone tries to guess the book and/or the character.

Everyone welcome to play/time-waste as much or as little as they please :)

AIBU to be protective of my DD?

Halloooo!

Depends - is she accident-prone, particularly on items with sharp points?

AIBU to play the piano?

YANBU, the piano is a wonderful instrument - is someone saying you shouldn't? Or is it maybe not yours to play?

...she's not accident prone particularly, I just think the world can be a cruel place, and I want to keep her safe as long as possible...

So it's nothing to do with her sixteenth birthday, then?

No, the piano is mine. It's just that its arrival has caused so much fuss ...

CJ, are you Les Dawson? In which case ,YABU to play the piano.....

Oh, why didn't my ^^s work there?

I am certainly not Les Dawson! Wot book's 'e in, then?

(But I take your point)

Are you Antipodean, CJ? or are have you just moved to the Antipodes?

No it's not her birthday, just that I appreciate our family privacy, and don't want to expose DD to boys - she's very pretty and has led a very sheltered life so far, and I worry about what could happen!

CJ - is it from a mystery benefactor? (If so, YANBU to play, but YAB a bit U to be such a prim little thing).

Jane Fairfax?

Ah, I think Elephants has already answered that!

AIBU to carry a jug of porter up the stairs all the time?

Um...YANBU as long as you are bringing it to me - but you might get a bit tired if you're doing it all the time?

...Also she was adopted at an early age and I'm a bit worried about how she might act out in her teenage years...

It's beer- AIBU to keep someone from trying to burn the house down?

No clue about yours.

Aha - winny, are you a nurse? And overly fond of that porter you're waltzing about with?

Well, my job isn't the easiest one!

Elephants, do you think she might be secretly batting for the other side?

Yes, I was smug prim Jane Fairfax. You may all take yourselves off to London for a haircut.

What was yours, winny? :)

Ooh that Jane Fairfax, she's just such a ...good girl (or maybe not of course).

...Also her birth parents live nearby and I'd hate for them to have any kind of awkward meeting. Yes I think the current solution is the best one...

CJ - batting for the other side? I don't think she's got room to bat for any kind of side!

Grace Poole from Jane Eyre

Arrrgh, Elephants. More clues are needed!

oh yyeeeeeeaaaah I'd forgotten about her! A friend on the family named her DD Grace (surname) Poole recently and we all struggled to avoid any mad laughter jokes. :o

...Why would she ever need to see anyone but me anyway? I don't want her getting her heart broken by some lad trying his luck!

Does she get out at all, Elephants, or do you keep the poor little flower locked up in the house?

...Well, she has everything she needs right here! Food, company (well, me)...although she is acting a little restless atm. And she's staring out of the window a lot - but that's normal teenage behaviour right?

Am sure it'll be something v.obvious... Come on, one clue more!

...Oh terrific - bad mother award goes to me. Caught her with a man in her room earlier FFS after all the care I'm taken with her! I've had to do something drastic - just hope it won't drive her away even more (figuratively, not literally, of course)...

All this action in one day?
