Dear Petitelune,
Unfortunately, my little moon, all the oafs and con-artists have given the gallantry of true gentlemen bad names. Were I to present myself a perfect scoundrel, I'd have better luck capturing the hearts of the fair ladies that populate this site like dandelions in green fields.
I must also remark that it is the dark cloud, I believe, whose lining is rumored to be silver. Perhaps that is not the idiom exactly, but I picture it to be part and parcel, as that saying goes, with its intended meaning. So, beware the darkness, too! (Though every yearning Heathcliff is a worthy man and worthy lover, at best)
As you can tell and guess, I am quite educated, capable, at any rate, of spinning a fine sentence--thus revealing good schooling and good intellect--and also capable of a playful self-mockery, even to a perfect stranger whom I am seeking to woo.
If you believe we have "the common thread" you speak of, and find me to be more Theseus than Minotaur, send me a sign of your interest, and we shall have sandwiches and coffee, by the dog of Egypt, anon.
Thine,
Egbert
