February Book Drawing

We at The Uncrushable Jersey Dress, striving for excellence and uncrush-ability, are offering another book drawing for the month of February. Contestants (that would be you) have until February 14th to email Betty Keira or Betty Debbie your best line/paragraph/opening for your own faux Betty Neels novel. Knowing that most of you might not be as thoroughly read in the body of literature that is The Neels, I thought I would give you an example:

She didn't look anything like an ancient Brittonic queen, marauding through the hills with murderous rage and sweeping all of Londinium before her. Professor Woltje van Rijnder glanced down at the resume again just to be sure. And then he glanced up at the girl again. Twenty-three on the outside, a mass of mousy brown hair stuffed up under a hat he wouldn't let his cook wear, hands folded primly in her lap and a pair of large gray eyes with ridiculously curved lashes. Miss Boudicca Alexander, come to inquire about the receptionist job, was nothing like her name.
And then, to further upset him, she read his mind, saying with the friendliest smile, "Father was a British History professor. You might only ever have to call me Miss Alexander."

Let's see. Obscure/awful British name? Check. Personal description? Check. Authentic Friesian name? Check. Ill-fated interview? Check.

Yours could have a number of options ranging from nursing to car smash ups to purse snatchings. It can be short or long. Just remember to email your submissions before February 14th and we'll post the winner on the 15th along with all the submissions. Feel free to write more than one.
