[Hardy-l] A Case of Mistaken Identity

[carolyn mcgrath]

Rosemarie, you say, "but it would be misrepresenting the case (if exculpatory?), I think, to categorise this lover with that lover and all other lovers as "mistakes" 

yes, you've grasped the basics, but remember not to include the lover you are currently talking to - they are always to be referred to as 'Mr Right', the one you have been seeking all that time you were making one mistake after the other -- but now, 'Ah, at last I've found you!" 

Audience and purpose. 

It is the often (but not always) splendid Joan Rivers we are talking about here. 

best wishes
