And now you have to write a story in the style of a Georgette Heyer, because clearly it is crying out to be done. So here's help - probably not the kind you wanted.

1. "When you become excited, my dear Rodney, you remind me of an agitated sheep. Quite irresistible, believe me."

2. "Well, I'll be damned!"

"The prospect" said John, bored "leaves me unmoved."

3. "If you can contrive to come out of what would appear to be a catalepsy, assemble the few wits God gave you and attend to me, I trust I may be able to allay your brotherly anxiety"

4. Rodney made a sound rather like that of an infuriated kitten, and flounced out of the room.

5. John was conscious, not of a burning desire to fold him in his arms and kiss away his melancholy, but of irritation.

Aaaaaaaand GO!

Don't tempt me further! It's already too tempting! (Aside from, you know, the fact I really don't know the period well enough to ape it for more than a paragraph or two.)

1. *DIES* I just. Oh god. You win forever.

2. *snickers madly* That? Could be CANON.

3. Nggggggggh.

4. *snickers* And again with the exceptionally canon feel to it. Oh, Rodney.

5. And double so for that. *is tempted ever more, despite her best intentions* *shakes fist in your direction!*

See. Georgette Heyer rules. Just take any line of dialogue from her books and substitute relevant names. *tempts more*

By the time you've read ten on the trot you could write Regency in your sleep. And look! Someone's already done all the research for you. Yay!

She really does. And since I think Chris will continue to pimp them at me, nature may well take its course no matter what I do. :D

Also, ack, broken link possibly?

*facepalm* This is why I shouldn't try to code first thing(ish) in the morning.

Try this instead.

No worries! And, ooh, nifty. And useful. *continues to be enabled*
