Hi Kato,
Another excellent article!

You are certainly a master at this.
I expect most of us reasonable women want to end up with a man like Mr. St. John, but not exactly like him in that he seems to have one fatal flaw.
It seems he was lacking in feelings, not only for others but also for Jane in particular.
In time he would trample her along with the others and she knew this.
Besides, she fell in love with Mr. Rochester and this is a powerful experience---enabling one to overlook flaw upon flaw and see only the beloved.
So glad you're enjoying the Freud DVD.
I loved it, but regrettably had to return it before I was finished as my time had expired.
Perhaps I'll take it out another time---in the fall, most likely, when the rains start coming again.
Keep up the good work, kiddo,
Love, Diane ~
Subj:Yeah, lots of sunshine!
Girls love it!

Hi, Diane.
How's it going?
We've got a lot of sunshine, eh?
Well...having a good suntan is superb, but too much of it is lousy and unhealthy, I suppose.
In any case, you need some suntan, don't you?
...'Cause all the British Columbians need a lot of sunshine when the sun comes out. :)
Another excellent blog.
I'm glad to hear that, Diane.
You are certainly a master at this.
I'm more than pleased to hear that...Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,...
I expect most of us reasonable women want to end up with a man like Mr. St. John,
Yes...oh, yes... I understand it easily.
but not exactly like him in that he seems to have one fatal flaw.
Oh, yeah ???
It seems he was lacking in feelings, not only for others but also for Jane in particular.
Well, Diane, you sound pretty harsh on St. John, don't you?
... in time he would trample her along with the others and she knew this.
I see...I see...I understand what you're saying. Yes, I know...Although he is a sincere, honest, hard-working man, St. John sounds self-righteous most of the time! I myself hate to see self-righteousness in any person.
Besides, she fell in love with Mr. Rochester and this is a powerful experience---enabling one to overlook flaw upon flaw and see only the beloved.
Oh, yes!...I know...I definitely know that passionate love is such a dynamite that one usually tends to overlook flaws of the person with whom one is madly in love.
Here is a Japanese proverb:
あばたもえくぼ（痘痕も靨）
The scar on her cheek
turns into a dimple
for the eye of a man in love.
So glad you're enjoying the Freud DVD.

I viewed the Freud DVD last evening.
To tell you the truth, Diane, it was so boring that, half way through, I replaced it with James Herriot's "All Creatures Great and Small" DVD.
Actually, I was expecting some thought-provoking passages such as the one below:
When two people make love,
there are at least four people present---
the two who are actually there and
the two they are thinking about.
--- Sigmund Freud

However, none of the characters said anything sexy or interesting.
I was so disappointed, you know, that the first part almost made me drowsy.
So, I had to replace it with something more fascinating to stay awake.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,...
I love James Herriot's "All Creatures Great and Small" DVDs, which have never failed to interest me.
Altough his books are much better, the BBS miniseries are adequately fascinating and amusing.
But, Freud is a great man---no question about that.
So, when I have a lot of extra time, and need a sleeping pill, I try to view the Freud DVD to the last episode.
He, he, he, he, he...
