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?

Think so, Moomin, but just off to check about the white bit (do you refer to Juliet?) ...

Matilda - of course!!

Treacle, is the ward a little French brat perchance? And are you a white woman too, as it were?

Treacle, are you Blanche Ingram?!

Thing is, about this trifle ... I know it WBU to taste it, it's for later, but it's really, really hard to resist, 'cos it just looks so delicious. My friend just said 'go on' and we know we shouldn't, but ...

Oops, sorry Pol - cross-posted! Great minds though, eh?!

Hum, selection of book on basis of its presence in tottering pile isn't helping much.

Julia ought to be wearing white, and she ought to be floating about. For her desolate Julian is in the Twopenny Leanover! You wouldn't catch Mr Disraeli there....

MCP!

CJ,are you either a naughty little sister,or alternatively,the boy I was in love with at age 5,Bad Harry?
Otherwise stuck! MCP!

AIBU to think they are all a bit odd?

.. Ah, she does wear white, for they are marrying her off to the polygamous moustachioed villian! But our French governess grows a conscience and saves the ingenue, for she is tired of concealing her own secret...

Pogle, what is (possibly) odd about them?

And CJ, did you eat the trifle?

MCP!

full of cold, can't think!
like the idea that googling my alberts brings up some murky stuff

when i'm in the bath i visit the island of 1000 alberts (where alberts hang upside down like bats in trees and howl), the long long coast of the lost socks and the land of the blotchy big (and dotty small) rietta...

llandb, NBI (no bleedin' idea!) - sounds fun, though.

Well done, Pogle! Bad Harry is such a terrible influence, but I kind of love him too. And yes, indeed - we ate all the trifle, every last bit

MCP ...

cj did you get the cook in trouble when it couldn't be found for the party?

Well done, Pol & CJ! That pesky Jane Eyre, eh, ruining my chances...

NIMCP!

...But while all that is going on, I have my fingers in the pot and want to end public hangings. And they keep saying, 'Don't!' And they keep calling me Mr *! Awfully disrespectful, seeing as how I'm the future Earl of Beaconsfield....

Polly, those sound fine clues but I'm afraid my googling isn't sufficiently creative. It sounds awfully Spikey though!

MCP?

Just watched that Hector's House linkie. See, clearly I had an isolated upbringing and if I didn't come here, I'd have remained blissfully ignorant!

Yes, a repeat auntie, though not the most frequent niece-crusher contacter. And 40% of my aunts are benign and go unmentioned

Brain too fried to cheat conduct online research!

Polly,I googled yours too,I really wouldn't recommend it...

My odd types - well,I realise some people take their interests very seriously,but they do seem a bit obsessed - some more than others...

Whew! I've missed a lot, but some happy cheating by Google leads me to think you're a bit of a go-getter, Polly!

Llandb, words fail me when it comes to yours because I am confused beyond belief. But I hope you liked Hector, Zaza and Kiki.

Pogle, more clues please.

...What I didn't realise then was that the gardener was sickening for polio and the gardener's boy had been sacked. No wonder no one was feeding the pets but me...

and i wear long green socks with toes...

and my most favourite thing in the world (despite your mucky googlin') is chocolate ripple cake and now we've got an albert i don't get so much of it...

Ah, so you are Henrietta, Polly! And I wish you hadn't mentioned chocolate ripple cake.

...I didn't realise either that the gardener's boy had been sacked after he made an assignation with the prettiest girl in the school and then tried to ravish her...

Moomin, I don't know what yours is, but it's sounding rather racy - might have to read it when I find out what it is!

Morning, all!

Nope, still NIMCP!

And AIBU to worry about my aunt?

moomin sheezamajeeza you've got me!.....dd's fave book atm....i feel like i know yours and it is just out of reach

treacle....yabu...aunts are hardy creatures, they come to this thread to revive themselves

pogle are they collectors?
llandb NTF (not the foggiest)

...You're probably right, Polly - she looks such a fragile thing though...

NTFMCP!

I agree with Polly,Treacle - default for Aunts(even fragile looking ones)is tough as old boots...
I feel I ought to know Moomin's, but can't put my finger on it,is there a new acronym for this? BISIKT perhaps? (Bother,I'm sure I know this!)

...My people are fans rather than collectors - though some of them are collectors as well - it amazed me to find out how much people will pay for an old typescript..
