'James was indifferent to Jenniferwhen she wore her spectacles but, when she removed them he was eager for herattention, thereby demonstrating the superficial nature of most young men.'
'Jennifer was so eager forattention that she ditched common sense, modesty and self-esteem, along withmost of her cover in order to attract James. But, when he finally showed aninterest in her and stroked a clammy hand over her skin, she grew indifferentand, making an inaudible excuse, hurried out of his sight.'
8th December 1792 - Henry Laurens  became the first person to be legally crematedin the USA. 8th December 1854 - Pope Pius IXproclaimed the Immaculate Conception, making Mary free of Original Sin. Agenerous and timely gesture on behalf of this male dominated club, whichfollowed years of disapprobation of the innocent mother of their spiritualleader with a new determination to make her into a virginal saint. Always theextremes: this poor woman who, if there is any historical element to the myths,was clearly no more than the lover of the man she expected to marry but wassubject to painful death under the religious law of the land at the time.Wouldn't you conceive a cover story under such circumstances?
