When I was in college, I worked as a governess for a child. I was also an orphan, and approximately the age of the heroines of those books. I had *all* the usual attributes of the stereotypical heroine of those novels, except the "happily ever after" part. Took me a long time to find out that "the way its spozed to be" != the way it is. -- aMAZon @ AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL; ihnp4!ihuxf!features "Uh-oh, now the cat's out of the bag!" -- Prudence
