Have you noticed how doll like
Oriental girls are Stan
Yes they are very feminine
I was on the tube earlier
When three Japanese girls
Joined the train at Leicester Square
They were absolutely exquisite
Almost like porcelain dolls
How did you know that they were Japanese
Because I recognised the language
And the tallest girl was reading Mishima
I read Tolstoy but that does not make me Russian
You have told me on many occasions that some races are more beautiful than others
When I say races I mean that some women are more beautiful than others
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
That is absolute shit Jane
To me it is obvious that women from certain countries are more masculine than others
They possess masculine characteristics that no matter how they try to disguise them are quite apparent
I know where you are going Stan
Other people might find your views offensive
Tough I will not deny what is obvious
French women are more feminine than others
Fact
What about your beloved Italians
In my book they are as beautiful as French women
But whilst incredibly being incredibly feminine there is a slight difference
I find that there is a chic coolness in French women
And the Italians are so beautifully excitable
Generalisations Stan
I disagree
I am just looking at it from a wider perspective Jane
Beautiful women can be found in most countries
Given
But whether you like it or not there are differences in body shape and in the way they are known to express themselves
And the masculine is never far from the equation
Stan you in my view are the kindest and gentlest man that I have ever known
But I can see why you upset people
They are just afraid of honesty that all
You are as honest as I am
But at least I have a filter
Filters do not exist
You must try not to hurt other peoples feelings
Then they should not look at their reflections
I am only but a reflection if you do not like what you see then turn away
On another subject Stan and please do hide your soapbox before I trip over it
What are your thoughts on Japanese and other oriental women
That they are very beautiful yet as you note resemble dolls
Walking dolls
There is
STAN
What
I think our baby kicked
Is it not too early
I do not have a clue
But it was a kick
Baby might have farted
Neanderthal
Here place your hand on my belly
Can you feel anything
Not at present
There it is
Yes it was faint but I felt the movement
This makes me so happy
I feel many things are changing
Yes you are getting Baywatch boobs
I feel like a field that has overnight shed its winters coat and has since been covered by golden buttercups
I am the poet Jane
Do you think that we should begin seriously to make plans and decide what we want
The country cottage
Yes
I love London to bits but it stresses me in good and bad ways
It is not good to be stressed
Our jobs bring us stress
If I do the sums then we could keep this place on as our London base and buy a small cottage out in the sticks somewhere
That would be prohibitively expensive Stan
I was not going to tell you this but my father has promised me a great deal of money when he pops upstairs
But on my last visit he out of the blue asked me about our future plans
Did you share them with him
Yes
What were his thoughts
His thoughts were quite logical
Logical
Yes when he sold Bamford’s he made an absolute mint
I know
He knows that you and I have achieved so much in our lives in our lives so far and is proud of us
Yes we are in professions that will age and finally shred us into a thousand pieces
That is the knife under the velvet cloak Jane
That is why I dream of a country cottage
Blue Remembered Hills
You get rats in the countryside mice and all those creatures you cannot stand
And do not get me started on the spiders and ants
You are not putting me off Stan
I am a country lad I have seen many things
Rabbits cut in half by farm machinery
Enough
Yes you are a cuntry lad
I see it shining plain
So what did you father say
My father as I have said has settled on us a great deal of money on us
But to him it does not seem logical to wait
But what about the tax implications
You mean the politics of envy
Do not worry as these are under discussion
I am meeting my father and his accountant in Ludlow next month
I feel so happy Stan
But so privileged
What is privilege
An accident of birth
We have worked fucking hard
My dad has worked fucking hard
Nothing came that easily
Yes the road was not as bumpy as it might have been
But we are all driven
Unlike many people
We swim against the current
I would settle on my children
That is no crime
Although the malignant amongst us might see it that way
So the rough plan is for us to retain this apartment trains and all as it is our London base
It is so near to everything
And then it is for you to decide where you want to live and what you want for baby
Dad and I will do the rest
You will have no worries
Just enjoy your journey Jane
