Chapter 8.1 is up! Sorry it's a bit of a snoozer. Ah well, more excitement to come.

"Oh, Ellie, sometimes I find myself thinking very unwholesome thoughts... to feel things a woman notices when she's in the presence of a man she admires."
For Ollie & [removed]'s benefit, this was the type of sentence standard in American society before the invention of the phrase "I'd hit that s**t!"

Wow, Jane didn't so much blush at Matthew's fond words as turn radioactive in that chapter!
She is very effective at shopping. I feel that I would like to hire her to do mine. I hate shopping. Except for food. And socks.

Just to add - I don't recall ever hearing anyone say this to anyone at any time. Do people really say this? Should I be saying this? I will attempt to work this most charming phrase into everyday conversation and see what the results might be.

HA! Ive heard that phrase many a time, especially here in the US of A. A simple, "I'd tap that," can also suffice.

Tapping? Crumbs. I know nothing (JS). I will say this phrase loudly and enthusiastically to American colleagues tomorrow and gauge their reactions. Always love a cultural experiment.
Update: I have made the necessary statements to the nearest American. I think "appalled" would describe the reaction quite well.

Over here I expect the phrase "fracking" to become a popular nudge-nudge phrase in the next few years.

Chapter 8.2 is up, kids! http://trustingdesire.wordpress.com/chapter-8-2/

Ah Miss Tuttle. The innocent bystander. I bet she has a few unwholesome thoughts in her head about tapping before marriage or whatever the youth are calling it these days.
Poor Ellie. She will need to learn to control her emotions. I could teach her a tip or two!
Great stuff Alice. Looking forward to more!

A man being kept from his brisket? By gad sir, this will not do!
Don't like that Magnus fella, he's got MCP written all over him.
Poor Ellie getting the bum's rush off Gabriel. Right when she think's it's all working out for her, something comes along to break her stride.
