Hello Bookworms and Welcome to Literary Love Connection!
Today’s Bachelorette is Scarlett O’Hara from Gone with the Wind
Today’s Bachelor is Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights
Date Takes Place at a Ball in Atlanta, Mid-Waltz.
Scarlett: Most of my beaux have proposed by this point in the evening. I hear you have a large estate?
Heathcliff: I was adopted into a wealthy family but treated like a peasant. I’ve since acquired a vast amount of wealth, and used it to torment those who once persecuted me.
Scarlett: I do admire a man with gumption. Not as much as I admire Ashley, but he’s been damaged goods since the war. Can you BELIEVE he chose that dowdy Melanie over me?
Heathcliff: Don’t speak to me of thwarted love! Why, my Catherine. Whatever our two souls were made of, hers and mine were the same. And yet! I had no name or fortune to offer her and she spurned me. Now it’s naught but misery, MISERY, I tell you!
Scarlett: Misery? Well, I’ll think about that tomorrow. But this money you have. Do you think you’d be interested in investing in a gorgeous plantation? My father was Irish, I don’t suppose it would matter that much if my new husband were to be a Brit.
Heathcliff: Damn you, woman! I did not offer you marriage!
Scarlett: Fiddle dee dee! You can’t resist this.
Heathcliff: Take your damnable bustle elsewhere, witch! And by elsewhere, I mean to my carriage. Let us away!
Yes, Bookworms. Scarcliff just happened. SorryNotSorry. Are there any other fictional characters you’d like to see hooked up? Tell me about it in the comments!

This is my favoritest favorite thing ever. Scarcliffe is going to make each other SO miserable.

Also, Scarcliff sounds like the perfectly broody name of the estate they would live on.
Words For Worms
Oooh it so is! They’d have a giant fight because he’d want to live at Wuthering Heights and she’d want to stay at Tara so they’d compromise on Scarcliff and both hate everything all the time!
Words For Worms
Aren’t they, though?!

The One That Got Away And Ended Up With A Much Better Wife Despite Being A Giant Weenie…is the best sentence I’ve ever read. I just about spit out my coffee.
Words For Worms
Ashley Wilkes is SUCH a weenie. Ugh.
Jancee
Hilarious!
Words For Worms
Thank you 🙂

Yeessss! Particularly when we’re talking about Tom Hardy Heathclif. NOM. So. Tortured. Also: “Fiddle dee dee! You can’t resist this” is probably the best romantic retort ever.
Words For Worms
Many thanks, m’dear.

This is hysterical- especially your take on Ashely. I hated him in the book, but even more in the movie.
Words For Worms
He’s the worst! I don’t even GET why Scarlett is so obsessed. And Melanie! She could have done so much better. Ashley Wilkes. Psha!

In 1998, they re released Gone with the Wind. When I told my father I was about to go see it, he got confused and asked, “Did they digitally remaster it?” (Because the year before, they did that with Star Wars.) I said, “Yeah, Dad, the death star comes out and blows up Ashley Wilkes.” Haaaa Haaaa.

HAHAHAHA! Fiddle dee dee. I might have to start using that phrase!
Words For Worms
It’s Scarlett’s catch phrase 🙂
Jenny @ Reading the End
Ahahahaha, YEP, sounds perfect! They are both so hateful, they’d do just right for each other.
Words For Worms
I thought so. 🙂
