We really make a sort of bizarre Mutt-and-Jeff, not-quite-butch--not-really-femme duo, don't we? It confounds so many of the expectations ... my being the more maternal one, for example.
I remember Mara, vaguely. I ought to see whether the Young Lady would cough up our copies of Sally Watson's historical novels for you to borrow. I'm not sure why I didn't glom onto the heroines of those more ... I recall liking Kelpie in Witch of the Glens, and she has similar moments to Mara's when she's temporarily taken into a wealthy household, but I didn't secretly wish I were her, the way I did with the gamine brigade.
