I don't know if having her appear in my game was pure chance, or if that character complete with traits implying crossdressing is linked (so that they're automatic for one with that name), but it's certainly interesting.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03698435507319158725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-4304089708610496332012-01-18T12:51:40.987+00:002012-01-18T12:51:40.987+00:00I am pleased that the Chevalier continues to recei...I am pleased that the Chevalier continues to receive admirable commentary. There are some in England who follow in his footsteps to this day. I find it very educating to pass as either a man or a woman, to see life from both sides (as it were).Robinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328690697063021332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-39231509076026512952011-10-21T20:06:55.983+01:002011-10-21T20:06:55.983+01:00Wonderful!

However, the Chevalier came to Bath to give fencing displays later than my story was set, so I couln't use him either.

I agree, this is truly fascinating stuff - and what a great drama could be made of his life. I love the idea of him/her being immodest and trying to get back into the army.
