Oh. Well, thank you very much. Very nice of you. Your vote of confidence is overwhelming. All right. The Princess Bride, by S. Morgenstern. Chapter one. "Buttercup was raised on a small farm in the country of Florin. Her favorite pastimes were riding here horse and tormenting the farm boy that worked there. His name was Westley, but she never called him that." Isn't that a wonderful beginning?

Bechdel Test
Two women with names?
They talk to each other?
About something besides a man?
