Pictures of perfection make me sick and wicked :) Written by Heather L (4/1/2006 12:34 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, First lines..., penned by Nicki

Emily St. Aubert's charms are listed below; I'll add that Madeline Clermont (from Clermont) is just as irritatingly perfect:

"Never did a pupil render the toils of an instructor less difficult than did Madeline those of her father ... She possessed besides an exquisite taste for drawing and music ... The liveliness of her fancy was equal to the strength of her understanding ..."

All this, and she has naturally curly hair, too.

And as Catherine learns in Heroine 101, Madeline, "like the desert rose, seemed born to waste her sweetness in obscurity."

Anyway, I agree that Catherine is much more appealing, because she's real. She's the kind of girl readers would like to have as a friend, and she deserves to have an adventure befall her.
