I almost included him, but I couldn't seperate him from the image of Christian Bale. :)<BR/><BR/>Hope: Joe ... isn't he the one always threatening to hold his wife ... under a pump?

Even though he was married. I loved, loved Mr. Harding in The Warden. Even though he was old enough to be my father. I suppose the only "eligible" bachelor I've fallen for in literature was Captain Wentworth in Persuasion.hopeinbrazilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05842290165385823751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387707904694759686.post-79599149302496873842009-02-21T11:26:00.000-06:002009-02-21T11:26:00.000-06:00Love the new bio pic, Noel.

Yikes, you'll make some of those book boys fall in love with you.<BR/><BR/>OK I'll play. <BR/><BR/>Wee Sir Gibbie--I loved him when he was a kid and I loved him when grew up. What a sweet noble fellow.<BR/><BR/>Dobro Turtlebane--I'm sorry, I know the kid stinks but he's such a sweetie pie. Yes, I'd throw him a bath and marry him, given the chance. heh heh I don't even think he'd object to my lax housekeeping habits. <BR/><BR/>Conor Broekhart--what a smart and brave and noble boy.<BR/><BR/>And the others are not very imaginative--Gilbert Blythe and Theodore Laurence aka Laurie.<BR/><BR/>Men? I'd have to go with the Scarlet Pimpernel--what was his real name?--Percy?

What you said about Roger--can't quite seperate the book Roger from the movie Roger-- I had to axe about ten names from my list because I was in love with the film version of the character, not the character. :)<BR/><BR/>Ooh, Johnny Tremain.

Stevenson's books.<BR/><BR/>3. Prof. Bhaer from Little Women--I reread this book last winter and nearly cried, wishing I knew a man even remotely like him.<BR/><BR/>4. Roger from Wives and Daughters, but I can't quite separate the movie Roger from the book Roger.<BR/><BR/>Seems like the following gentlemen also made my heart beat faster at one time or another:<BR/><BR/>Michael Strogoff from the book of the same name by Jules Verne.<BR/><BR/>Gene Stratton-Porter's Laddie.<BR/><BR/>Uncas from Last of the Mohicans.brilynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04637967842937668859noreply@blogger.com
