In The Heart Of The Sea- mood board.    

So I was reading this regency book and it is the bestest thing ever.  It's called Captain Ingram's Inheritance. By Carola Dunn. Its about a Lady Constantia andher family and their love interests and the typical overcoming adversary.

Anyway the book is filled with some hilarious moments such as the aforementioned Captain Ingram bemoaning his inability to get a wife as he is now invalid and scarred as a result of his army service. He does this by basically flashing his best male friend. 

Quote-he revealed a body seamed and knotted with countless scars,white and red and purple, from shoulders to thighs. "What woman will want me know?" He asked bitterly.

Roworth visibly steeled himself. "You appear to be..... er ..... intact where it matters."-

There is another character, an ill behaved lord Vincent who has a habit of pinching ladies bottoms. There are two really brilliant bits regarding him.

Quote- A startled yelp drew their attention to Lady Vincent. As pink-faced as her husband, she glared at him.She had evidently just been pinched, an aberration due to the drink, no doubt, since Lord Vincent generally confined his familiarities to anyone but his wife, whatever her fears.- 

(It should be noted Lady Vincent earlier protests to sharing a room with her husband basically claiming him a beast who will want to have sex with her)

Moments later Lord Vincent tries to pinch a different lady but owing to his drunkenness ends up pinching Captain Ingram!

Travis is no provincial wannabe, he is London through and through. He is dressed in a dark blue frock tailed jacket, complete with high waistline and standing collar, set off by a shirt featuring more ruffles than Liberace. Beau Brummell would be proud, then find it instantly distasteful for some reason, and then faint.
