Northanger Abbey, Jane Austen surely knew her heart and what we woman seek, not the directness of the cad who's aim is self gratification but the allure of things unspoken, not through lusty thoughts and deeds but by the play of the word upon the mind, attraction is after all only part of the play without the script there is no substance and for those with inquiring minds there can be no joy and so precludes any advancement for come the interlude the seat will be found empty where once there sat one waiting in anticipation of the final curtain.
I have found that a fire will burn more brightly and create more warmth when tended with attention for if it is hastily lite often it will be found to be inadequate.
I have a wood burner and when one wants to dampen the flames one simply restricts the air flow I find the same is true of the spoken word such things as crudities are for me rather like the cessation of air to my flame...
