"Curious about the sport," he had said.
"And where's the curiousity come from?"
He had sheepishly smiled. There's a woman."
The instructor had laughed. "My friend, we don't fight duels anymore."

Six Sentence Saturday
And so we come to our final Six Sentences for 2012, a day earlier than usual. We will be back on Monday for a New Year's blog, so keep an eye out for that. As for today, we're going with something a little different, an early part from Same Time Tomorrow. This features Gabriel at home, musing on a conversation he had earlier in the day with one of the instructors at a fencing club in Philadelphia. Chloe has made fencing a way of life, so to speak, and so in this early scene, it has piqued his curiousity about the sport. Enjoy, and let us know what you think of it!

I love this character. It's nice to see a man willing to go to such lengths for a woman. Doesn't happen very often....
ReplyDeleteWell are we talking before or after they've slept together? From my experience, men will go to any lengths if they're attracted to a woman, then as the saying goes "the honeymoon is over".
Delete...did that come out just as wrong as everything else I say regarding sex?? I didn't mean I have a lot of that sort of experience first hand...it's just, men always try hard in the beginning. You never know how quickly things can change after committment. But I suppose the same thing goes for the way women behave as well.
DeleteChloe is a renaissance woman.
ReplyDeleteIt occurs to me looking at that, and this is from polishing my own work, that I don't mind the word sheepishly. I've been removing ruefully or rueful as an expression out of my own work, but sheepishly works much better.
