No Goodness Improve Me

Only a little bit. Trust me it’ll be fun.

"Of course I trust you. I just don't think I've had any reading assignments since college," he said with a warm laugh.

Apology accepted, just because you have a very handsome face and I like looking at it…

Thank you, miss. I think.

I’m not here for that? Wow, you really know how to make a girl feel special uh coffee boy… whatever, do you need another drink or not? 

I'm sorry, miss, I'm not very good at talking to... well, most people, but pretty girls especially.

Well, I do appreciate honesty, it's just... I don't... um...

You’ve never read any of their works? Well Brian clear up your schedule because you are going to have a date with Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

Oh, boy. I've got homework now, don't I?

Many amazing people were ahead of their time, mostly women… the Bronte sisters for example… maybe society just wasn’t ready for them. 

It's too bad... I don't imagine many of such people ever knew how well their work was loved. Though I can't say I know who you're talking about...

I know… I feel bad for all of them, I mean they were taught that the only thing they should want in life is to get married… but I love the book, specially because its from a female author. I’m glad you liked it. 

I have to say, I was impressed. And I'm honestly a bit surprised it's done so well. Ms. Austen seemed a bit ahead of her time, to be honest.

"I think you can definitely indulge in a fried sweet or two. I mean look at you, you are gorgeous."

"Uh, um... you're too kind, miss."

"Yeah, I, uh, similar situation. I think I saw funnel cakes back the way I came…if I knew where that was."

"Someone mentioned they were near the fortune teller.... I was just looking for them, actually."

"If you walk past the fortune teller, there are a bunch of food booths on the right. I hear the funnel cake is to die for."

"Ah. Oh! I see them. Yeah, that'd be good... I could do with indulging myself with a little fried deliciousness."

"Was just about to ask that myself. Feels like I’ve been wandering around for hours."

That's actually just what I've been doing. I stopped to look at one stall, and when I looked up, all my friends were gone.

"Georgian and Victorian literature is contains some of my favorite novels. I could suggest a few if you want more in a similar style."

"Sure, if you want. And that was the first of her books I've read. Like I said, not something I'd typically try on my own."

Really?! Not the feeling awful part… did you really like it?

Yeah, it was quite good. I mean, I have to say it picked up about halfway through. I feel really bad for the sister, though. The younger one... Lydia. Trapped in a marriage like that...

Oh don’t pretend that you don’t know what I’m talking about… I cannot be the first one to tell you that. Do you need me to show you what I mean?

N-no, I think I understand now, actually. And no thank you, I guess, I'm not really... I don't... I'm not here for that, actually, my friend just dragged me along and...

"Not particularly, Brian, if we are being honest."

It was sarcasm, Serena...
