We have a new (used) car. She is a silver Citroën C4. Yes, we've pretty much bought the same car we had before, except that it's a bit newer. I do not want to speak to another used car salesperson for a very, very long time.
We're now at the most important decision of all: what to call her. Our previous Citroën was called Marguerite St. Just, after the daring aristocratic heroine of Baroness Orczy's The Scarlet Pimpernel. The question is, do we stick with the literary theme and call her Leonie, after the saucy cross-dressing Duchess of Avon, created by Georgette Heyer? Or do we stick with the French Revolution theme and call her Sophie, after the erudite, equanimous and exquisite wife of the mathematician, philosopher and victim of said revolution Nicolas de Condorcet? Or should we choose something cleverer that you have thought of?
