Re: Philip as "Clark"

[sistermagpie]

Yeah, that's exactly how I thought he would see it. Clark would somehow meet Elizabeth--maybe Philip knows that Clark's being honeytrapped. I mean...the situation almost writes itself. Because Clark isn't a spy, he's a pencil-pusher--the very type that Elizabeth would make mince meat of. And once in bed Clark would be thrilled to get all wild animal with her!

But he'd bring that back to Martha. Maybe he'd just be guilty. Maybe he'd even have to confess he met some woman who came onto him. Maybe he wouldn't confess that he slept with her, but he might say he didn't and felt guilty about it anyway because he was tempted and he loves Martha, which would give Martha a chance to be the worldly one and love her rule-following husband for being so earnest and true.

But the possibilities with Philip for this are just endless.

That scenario would actually kind of work because it also gives Philip a psychological out if they're both roleplaying and it's not just him. Like it isn't just him acting like "Clark" while Elizabeth is just Elizabeth, but both of them playing something out, and with "Clark" being the victim of a honeytrap, it rather takes some of the blame off him as well.

So long until Wednesday!
