Beare on traitors and rugby players being adorable.

[charlie_cochrane]

Lovely article in the Telegraph today (which I can't find a link to) about the Lions players who have a farming interest and who've spent their bonuses on new trailors for their tractors. Can't imagine footballers doing that!

Beare is relating an adventure involving Will Shakespeare, Good Queen Bess, Kit Marlowe and a load of bad jokes. First bit to be found on the Lords of Aether site.

I have groceries to get. Nasty tasks ahead, I am saving Beare on Marlowe, as a reward for my good behavior. I will be come in a few hours, and it is the first thing I am going to look for!

Don't get too excited. Kit makes a fleeting but telling appearance. There'll be more of him next time. (And very much inspired by your Kit fics.)

So foolish to fall in love with Kit. But I am smitten. He would certainly find me quite elderly-- I bet I would remind him of his mom. And he did not even 'like' women.

I cannot decide if I want to swoon at his feet, or feed him soup and keep him safe. Poor Kit. Have bought all the groceries in Brooklyn. (It would be easier to make list of what I did not buy.) Off to read your Beare now. He is delightful on his own merits, other misbehaving dudes are a plus!

Beare's a corker but I can't claim him as my own. He's an amalgam of so many comic characters of my youth.

I do not know enough about Marlowe, but he's a striking looking gent. I've visited the place he was christened.
