The local candidate standing for election for a party I find altogether despicable, is handsome -in a tall, dark kind of way; a Mr Rochester if ever I saw one.
Curiously I find him all the more attractive because his views on life and liberty would never correspond with mine.

I wanted him to fix me to the spot with a gimlet stare and demand an answer.
