    Ha ha, very good!
    Mrs Dilo, on the other hand, would have been suitably impresed by her husband's frugality.

      Indeed, I have long thought that the firm guiding hand of a masterful husband would be a proper cure for your fancy and unladylike behaviour.

      Hmmm 🤔 clearly finding an appropriate and commanding husband for you, needs to be treated with urgency.

      This is what happens when the fair sex gets access to education beyond their needs.

      One is not averse to a firm and guiding hand... 😊

      I suppose our education should stop in the kitchen ... does Mrs. Clive know this? 🧐

    Cressida's French grandmother said that if you are a good French cook you will never be without a husband.

Non Serviam: The Mystery of the First Refusal

By

  "Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heav'n"   (Satan, Milton's Paradise Lost) Introduction Before the serpent, before any human being drew breath, or any garden was planted, something turned. That's the question this essay sits with. Not why evil exists in some abstract philosophical sense, but how the very first act of rebellion was even possible. Lucifer, the tradition tells us, had no excuses. No tempter whispering in his ear, no passion clouding his judgment, no ignorance to hide behind. Pure spirit and intellect; created good and held in grace, and yet, at some point in what we can only call the morning of creation: non serviam . I will not serve.
