I find this twosome totally unlikely!

Surely the erudite Prof Lloyd would prefer the company of some fascinating female academic?

Christine Barford, IMHO, has never yet said anything particularly interesting.

In fact, apart from an account of the Clive Event, her conversation teeters on the brink of the utterly banal. I may be wrong. Perhaps, as he peruses The Times every morning, and she becomes stimulated by his comments on current events, say, or if he reads her Ovid's Amores (in the original) over bedtime cocoa,she may blossom into a Fascinating Female?

It's never too late, Christine. Listen and learn!

I have to agree. Someone as interesting as Jim who's a good judge of character (he sectretly can't stand St.Shula) wouldn't really be at all interested in someone as boring and one dimensional as Christine

Boring and one dimensional? I'm going to stick up for the Christine we used to know...

...someone who didn't want to be wed to the farm like her mother, who was grammar school educated and had an interesting scientific career, someone who dared to have an affair with a married man, someone who endured being married to a philanderer who ruined her financially as well as being constantly unfaithful to her. Someone who ran a successful business, who became an expert horsewoman, winning second prize at The Horse of the Year Show. Someone who went against family advice and married an alcoholic - and found happiness. Someone who adopted and nurtured a child, and someone who overcame terrible traumas...is surely as interesting as any crusty old academic who shows off spouting Latin and often puts people down.

I hope he'll be worthy of Christine's friendship.

An impressive CV for Christine, Vicky. Goodness, I never knew all this!

Then why doesn't Christine sound interesting? I blame the scriptwriters. They do make her sound dull. Perhaps she'll unbutton a bit over the cocoa!
