'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Well, that's a superhero in the making if ever I heard one! Armed with super alertness, caffeine power and amazing sonic hearing? Perhaps Battaccino? Batspresso? Batte?

Actually, no. I will check it out.
Cool! She is so much more fun than Florence Nightingale.The scene when she arrives at her brother's hotel just slayed me. Also the bit when she's being toasted by the Americans in spite of being "yeller". Her response is fabulous.
I did always think smugly of her when taught about Ms. Nightingale, despite my being considerably less humanitarian than either of them.
