Adrian sez, "Brenda W. Clough and Ryk Erik Spoor have come up with the ingenious idea of a Terminator/Pride and Prejudice crossover, and are currently writing sections on rec.arts.sf.written. Possibly the funniest thing I have read this year."
"Indeed," said the man (whom Patience could not help but think of as
made of clockwork, though he manifestly was something far stranger), "I
speak of these things not merely because of the way that I am made,
though indeed a machine should do that which it is made to do, but
because I have found that I have developed, through our many
conversations, a feeling of that which is proper, both within the bounds
of your society and without; and being that I am, here, a gentleman, I
find that I am also bound to behave as a gentleman would, and indeed,
Lady Patience, I must warn you that this Mr. Connor is a man of less
than sterling character."
(Thanks, Adrian!)
