AIBU Books Game Part Six

[MoominMymbleandMy]

Now, we're on thread number six!

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 think I'm seeing a ghost?

Oh,that's ringing quite definate but unspecific bells,Moomin.
I admire your self control - I don't think I'd be capable of doing anything other than racing through at top speed!

MCP!

Oh, I'm longing to gobble it up, Pogle, but I know that's it unless I can lay my sticky paws on The Marlows and the Traitor. I borrowed it from the library in my very distant youth and I imagine that copy was sold a long time ago. For about 10p, probably.

...I admit she's beautiful, but can men not see beyond a pretty face? She's brought us nothing but trouble...

MCP and night,all!

Argh, I'm sure I should know what yours is, Mooomin, but I can't think...

MCP everyone! Am totally clueless at the moment

Me too,Treacle!

Is she married,Moomin?

MCP...

moomin, is she your stepmother/stepdaughter?

Morning, all!

...Married! My goodness, yes, she's been married three times, widowed twice and as for husband number three, I doubt she'll be seeing him again in this life...

Oops, sorry, Polly.

...And I'm thankful to say she's no relation of mine...

ooh, does she bump husbands off?

...Well, her second husband was definitely murdered. She insists she had nothing to do with it but she's very deceitful...

MCP, CJ, and Snow, if you get the chance.

Erm...not sure where I'm going with this but is she headed for the block, Moomin?

Ohhhhhh, Elephants, I see who you mean (clever you!) but have no idea what the book is (unless we're into biography, and it's Antonia Fraser's rather good effort).

I also think you're extremely clever, Elephants.

Phillipa Gregory/Alison Weir?

I haven't seen my husband for so long, I'm beginning to forget what he looks like ...

MCP!

Aaah, I see...

No ideas as to book here either...

MCP CJ!

AIBU to fancy my step-mother?

Oh very well done, Elephants! Yes, indeed, she did go to the block but not before she'd wrecked my marriage and cost us a fortune. It was the fortune I really minded about.

Are we back in classical times, Treacle?

MCP, CJ!

AIBU to write a novel?

Not exactly classical times, but definitely ye olden days...

Is your novel based on people in your village, Moomin?

Crikey, Treacle, that was super fast! Have a free copy of "Disturber of the Peace" I hope you enjoy it. Writing it was certainly more fun and better paying than keeping hens or paying guests.

Oh, and CJ guessed right. The Mary, Queen of Scots one was Philippa Gregory's The Other Queen.

No ideas on the missing husbands or stepmother fanciers so MCP!

AIBU to be excited by this assignment?

Hurrah! Well done me!

...I think it could work between us - after all, she hasn't exactly been faithful to my father...

Yes indeedy, well done you, Treacle! That will teach me to do a Persephone AIBU. Lovely book, Miss Buncle's Book, though.

So, are we in Round Table territory then?

...I admit being asked if I've made my will before we set off is something of a dampener...

Totally baffled by all this!

MCP!

...So are odds of only one chance in four that we'll return...

MCP!

Moomin,are you either setting off into war-torn France,or leaving the planet entirely??

CJ,is it possble that you huband could return and be unrecognised,then?

MCP!

...Actually, I'm leaving war-torn France...

MCP!

Spot on, Moomin - you'd think that hussy Guenevere would be pleased to get rid of my father, wouldn't you?

MCP everyone!

AIBU to change places?

Are you playing netball, treacle?

MCP all!

I can barely remember what my husband looks like. And his poor son has never met him! I'm going to have to do something to get him back ...
