AIBU Books Game Part 5

[MoominMymbleandMy]

Now we've made it to a fifth thread!

As before, we frame an AIBU from the point of view of a character in a book 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.

New thread, new AIBU...

AIBU to set all my sights on getting a rich husband?

... After that, I sought another position. It didn't feel right to stay. Though nobody really blamed me for keeping Mary's secret about the baby and the doctor - I'd just been a good girl who'd done as she was told....

'Night, all, and MCP!

Thanks,Moomin!

Ah,Spike Milligna,the well known typing error,I should've known.

I wouldn't whistle if I were you,something might come...

MCP,llandb! (does sound interesting)

Goodnight all.

Eek! What might come to a whistle?

...she had very democratic ideas, my friend Mary. Why, I might not be a servant forever, but one day I would marry, and have my own little cottage, and perhaps even have a servant girl to help. They have such a different view of things here in Canada...

Whew, that was super fast Pogle! Yes, I did whistle and someone or something came... I so wish I hadn't.

Your one isn't ringing any bells, Llandb so MCP.

AIBU to steal a ring?

yes,well I've shot my bolt again now - unless your ring rules over lots of lesser rings...

AIBU to wonder how my aunt put up with her for so long?

MCP!

Eeek, an auntie!

MCP, Pogle!

...I don't know anything about lesser rings. Is that from a book? I don't like books...

Totally lost ...

What was Moomin's 5th November one? And the whistle one?!

You see, I really am lost ...

WIBU to buy a pony for my daughter?

NIMCP, everyone!

... When they caught up with us after the murders, I was travelling under the Alias of Mary's name. My claim that I could not recall the day's events confirmed my guilt. I've been in prison and the asylum for ever so long. And then my old friend, masquerading as a clairvoyant, placed me in a trance and Mary's voice claimed responsibility...

Evening all!

No ideas at all... MCP!

Blimey, Llandb! I'm sure I would have remembered that if I'd read it.

CJ, the fifth of November one was The House of Arden by E Nesbit again, and the whistle one was Oh, Whistle and I'll Come To You, My Lad, another very spooky story by MR James.

As for the pony, depends, YABU if you've nowhere to keep it, or can't afford it, or she isn't going to look after it.

MCP everyone!

...It's my sister's engagement ring...

Oh heavens,Moomin - you aren't going to drop it down a crack in someone elses garden,are you?

CJ,possibly YAalsoBU if you think she's likely to become obsessive about the whole pony thing and possibly want more - though it is a nice healthy outdoor hobby,I suppose...

..really I think my aunt must have had the patience of a saint , her friend is annoying me a great deal - though all the men seem to love her...

I did, clever Pogle! My brother's friend dug it up for me but he made me give it back. Humph!

Still NIMCP on everyone's here.

AIBU to think my niece and nephew are acting rather oddly?

Moomin, have you been making clever rings? Or are you an aunt, rather than an uncle?

...and so, by good Grace, the Alias that condemned me has also set me free...

'Night All, from too-many-tabs-open-and-everything-is-sloooow-land!

I suppose we're not being spooky any more, are we? (And have doubts about wisdom of a Movember theme)

evening all
so llandb are you grace from alias grace?

Yay polly, chandeliers for you (and it's all your fault that I keep going upstairs backwards, doing a grooovy dance )

ok lets go all 80's

AIBU to kill my boss to get hold of his red bag?

Mad,quite mad - it's all that chandelier swinging,I reckon

Polly,MCP - and it must BU to kill someone for a bag,surely?!

What's IN his red bag? Is he a postman?

I've bought my daughter the pony. She's learning to ride and picking it up really quickly. Some people, including my wife, are saying that I'm spoiling her but there's nothing I wouldn't do for my little girl.

Aargh! Stumped!

Sounds a bit James Bond-ish to me, Polly. DD liked your blast of 80's pop music, btw.

CJ, might it be that people in your station in life don't generally keep ponies?

NIMCP!

...They're very nice children and I was looking forward to taking them on a trip to Copenhagen...

(Still here)

Oh dear CJ, are you going to encourage her to take a jump that is just a bit too ambitious?

....well, theres a load of cash in it that think i could make good use of...

cj are you rupert campbell black?

otherwise loads of nincompoops...

Morning, All!

AIBU to want a hearty meal? (Not being Badjelly this time!)

Morning all.

No, I'm not RC-B but yes, I don't see a problem with her jumping a few fences, as she's so keen ...

Or even just R-B?
