Yes! What an interesting thought!
Kathy, when I read RED HARVEST at the first time,
I thought Dinah Brand was the modern figure who had
survived THE THREE MUSKETEERS, the part of D'ARTAGNAN
STORY. I also felt the same way about Brigid
O'shaughnessey
exactly like you, even not so logical,but I believed those
images
about the women in Hammet were just because
I'd been reading Alexandre Duma since age 11.
His novels influenced me a lot(so, I love adventure
novels,
either).
I respect your consideration, except for the thing that
D'Artagnan entreated other members for mercy even the
last time of Milady.
(Of course, I understand almost all men could't resist
Milady/Brigid.)
I just came up with this mail now(sigh). So many mails
remained.
