The Three Musketeers

[trailingvortex]

I remember that I first read the novel by Alexandre Dumas while skiing in Vail, Colorado, at the age of 15, but all I can remember from back then is that it was brilliant and enormous fun, not any details of the plot. Recently, I found a copy in Shanghai, and since it cost the princely sum of 20 renminbi (about 2 quid), I thought I'd read to it

How bizarre! I, too, adore this book, and the copy I have is also one that was picked up in China! It's been years since I read it though - I devoured it in five days back when I was in secondary school. I really should read it again.

:D How glorious! What peculiar coincidences pepper our lives.

See you this morning! ^_^

Indeed! Next thing I know, you'll be telling me you went to the same (all girls') secondary school... er... maybe not.

Oh yes, I shall be there alongside you rolling around in the mud!

Everything I know about how to live life I learnt from that book.

Fight everyone who looks at you funny, seduce every woman you meet, and regularly thrash your servants?

[gedhrel]

Yup. And when you come into money:

- take all your friends to lunch,
- buy some new duds,
- get a valet,
- acquire a mistress.

But you should recall that they acquire rich mistresses in order to come into more money. ;)
