Not really Written by Barbara (9/7/2009 1:40 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Each to his/her own. :-) nfm, penned by Elizabeth K

I'm not going to debate this with you any further, but it's inaccurate to characterize Marianne as being 'high-spirited'. She's just as often--if not more often--in very low spirts as she is in high spirits. It's inaccurate to characterize someone who is quite humourless as being 'fun-loving'.

This part of the thread is turning into a two-person conversaation, so let's end it here. Thanks.
