The George versus Mirtel Poll

[Blackguard]

Unless you are reading no other threads than your own, you know that George has become betrothed to a woman that his sister disapproves. Peter Boyle is the rich tobacco magnate father and Wilhemena (Mina) is the scarred woman that has tasted the bitterness of rejection all too often.

So, now that the battle lines are drawn, it is time to vote as to how you see this playing out. I'll allow you to change your votes so that you can adjust voting as time goes along.

[George Hardwick III]

*looks into the Chrystal ball*

George falls head over heels for Avon (his sisters would be-suitor) so rather than discouraging the match he eggs him on so as to have an excuse to see him more often to 'discuss' things - quite forgetting to keep up appearances visiting his own fiancee. Feeling abandoned, Mina decides to end it all herself, on the same day that Mirtel poisons Mina. The two poisons counteract each other, although making Mina beastly ill. Mirtel, belatedly struck by a case of the guilt's, nurses Mina through a dilirum in which she learns how wronged Mina has been by the men in her life (Most especially by Charles Whitehurst.) Mirtel comes to care less and less for men while commencing an affair with Mina. George forgives Mirtel. Mirtel forgives Avon. Avon Forgives Charles Whitehurst. Mina forgives noone. To maintain their standing within proper society, Mirtel marries Avon, and George marries Mina, and the four live a perverse symbiotic relationship 'happily ever after'.

The King is so pleased that he sacks Charles Whitehurst as Lord Lieutenant of London, and gives George the job instead.

The nation then spends a week in celebration.

Hmmm ponders.... Mina and Mirtel. So unlikely it might happen! I picked all of the above because I am enjoying your threads so much. Teehee
