I think (although it's a while since I read this) that I saw this as part of his <i>flamboyance</i> and his <i>larger than life thing</i> like the big Russian fur coat he wears and the foreign courtesans who live in his house etc. All of that seemed to me to be (as I read it) sort of dressage or maybe compensation or an elaborate mask for the *******ing boy beneath.Joanna Chambershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11008683032460114886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414093212095906246.post-40111358590027600772010-10-25T19:00:04.711-05:002010-10-25T19:00:04.711-05:00I like little snippets of something that mean so f...I like little snippets of something that mean so far more once the story unfolds.

I wonder what Ivory did with this? Now, I'm curious. :)<br /><br />And what a coincidence, I'm reading "The Indiscretion" by Judith Ivory at the moment and enjoying it also. There's a "wild coach ride" in this book too... one that leads the characters to much more.

And though I only know this snippet u posted and nothing else of the book, I can say that this dude taking out his anger on the lady irrationally as if she "had something to do with it" is a crappy tactic a lot of people use. Very intriguing.Bella@BeguileThySorrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723984443831411184noreply@blogger.com
