Gutta Percha is interesting.
Drag queen name! Dibs!
He also lied about his height, which just set her off.
Oh, that's WEAK. It would make me care about height more.
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

Spike's Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Sheesh, David. We have GOT to get you started on trashy (or, hell, classy, but sometimes, trashy's more, umm, fun) romance novels.
Why? Will it have more information about Georgian jewelry and half-mourning wear?
Will it have paragraphs like this?
Gutta Percha jewelry is made from a rubbery substance that comes certain types of trees indigenous to Asia. It's collected from the trees, treated and can then be molded or carved to form intricate jewelry styles. You can find all types of Victorian jewelry made from Gutta Percha - chains, bangle bracelet, earrings, lockets, etc. It can be tricky to tell the difference between this material and Vulcanite. One way to determine whether an item is Gutta Percha, is to rub it briskly on fabric, it'll emit a faint smell of burnt rubber.
Honestly, I could never read a romance novel.

That's a bad blind date. He probably wonn't even wonder what he did wrong.

The rubbing briskly sounds about right for bad romance, Hec.
I used to adore Jean Plaidy. And associated alter egos...someone Holt, I think. I often feel tempted to dive back in for comfort reads.

In my freezer - enough shepard's pie fill for a pie that will feed us for a week
in my oven Mr. Ca. Lemon butt Chicken ( why my chicken has a formal title we don't know) with potatos.

You should totally quit right now. It's pointless to go on. That way you can avoid that pins and needles sensation when your foot revives.

There's all kind of info on Victorian mourning customs and paraphenalia in mystery novels.
Why would anyone lie about his height? I mean, if he knew he was going to be seen in person. If it's a small enough lie to get away with, why bother?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Or, you can poke your foot and look at it with fascination at the fact that you can't really feel the poke.
And, yes, my life really is that boring sometimes.
