Now I could bash her by saying she's the ultimate gold digger...willing to be bought by the allure of wealth & riches. On the other hand, I could bash him too...willing to buy anything & anyone because he CAN. This is like a Jackie Collins novel...sex, money & betrayal. It's poor Gerald I feel sorry for. Somehow, I cannot foresee a future for her & this Adnet. Rich, wealthy & powerful men always come with conditions. She's the current plaything du jour and I fear he will soon grow weary of her.<br />Loved this. C'est magnifique!(did you like my bit of French, courtesy of my wife. LOL!)<br />Thanks for sharing.<br /><br /><a href="http://mypoetcharm.blogspot.com/2012/02/love-has-seeped-into-my-heart.html" rel="nofollow">Love Has Seeped Into My Heart</a>The Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00667034322952126127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-30140828122125575422012-02-14T12:45:26.589+10:002012-02-14T12:45:26.589+10:00Oh Nancy.

She's not seduced by love, but by the lifestyle to which she wishes to become accustomed. I find it both enthralling and disturbing. She's selling her soul and she is happy about it. Mostly. I could have found her cold, but I don't. She's in a fairy tale, if you ignore the sordid details (which she is). I find her intriguing.Erin Kane Spockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05376851676240606472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-38136169863369724382012-02-12T21:57:51.341+10:002012-02-12T21:57:51.341+10:00Hi Denise,

That's the saddest thing, I think; when someone writes so well and the reader has this thirst for MORE.<br />Just a small footnote explanation for you: A "maitre d'hôtel" or in English a "maitre d'" is something like the restaurant "boss". He's the boss/overseer of everything in the restaurant except the kitchen, and not someone's personal servant. A French butler is called a "Valet" - a misnomer in American English. I believe the French would call an American "valet" a "garde du parking" If I can offer you any other little bits of detailed information, it would be my pleasure.Celeste Neumannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121686507934885254noreply@blogger.com
