Meet The Characters
Waine Anthony Noah Knight
Born and raised in the bush Waine was reared by his eccentric Aunt Annabelle and her lesbian companion Sophie. They were complete separatists and despised anything male in the World. That is all except Waine whom they adored despite his unfortunate gender.
He had a protected, loving upbringing and was home educated. He learnt a great deal of 19th Century literature, poetry music and was fluent in French and Latin. None of which was very practical but it was a wonderful classic education.
Sex education, that is to say, boy girl type sex was severely overlooked by his mentors. Waine had therefore grown into manhood knowing little if anything about actually being a man.
This of course leads to all sorts of adventures for him once he gains a position as stable boy at Surrogate Farm with the quintessential Sir John and Lady Elizabeth Faulklands.
Naturally they have a daughter, the allusive, gorgeous Sarah Jane and guess what Waine falls instantly and madly in love….
Emma.
Emma is a fun loving kid who enjoys life to the fullest. She is young, bright and having been bought up in and around farms all her life is quite at ease with boys, animals and is always out for a good time. She also works on the farm as a stable girl and meets Waine under most unusual circumstances…
Sarah Jane
Sarah Jane is beautiful, rich, and born into the landed gentry. She is acutely aware of these assets and makes full use of them to her advantage. Sarah also grew up in and around farms but very differently from Emma. At eight years old she was sent to a very good boarding school in High Town, and after completing grade eleven was sent to finishing school in Switzerland for a year.
She has recently returned and is engaged to be married to Anthony Squires…
Anthony Squires
Anthony is a land owner, not so wealthy since the wool market collapsed but still adheres to the basic principle that he was born 'with a silver spoon in his mouth'. He will tell you as he pontificates with a cigar and brandy after dinner that there is order in the universe. Pointing his finger at you through a haze of think smoke he will explain that God made men and beasts and created (white) men to be the powerful and mighty. So too there is order within mankind. Some men are born to rule while others to serve. It is the right and proper thing in nature and is written in the word of God. Women of course are there to serve men and of course procreate…
As you gather Anthony resembles Darcy from Pride and Prejudice but without the intelligence or insight to understand the limits and stupidity of his prejudices. He is also a gay which adds a slight complication to his need to procreate with Sarah…
Other Characters
There are a few minor characters who also add interesting diversions to the story. Jeremy the leading hand runs the stable. He is also gay and worships Anthony. He is a really nice bloke but of course is in love with a right bastard.
Sir John and Lady Elizabeth are complete nutters, likeable but living in a time warp of their own. Their only child is Sarah and they desperately need for an heir. Their plans may also involve Waine…
Finally we have Donna. Donna is a girl from Black Bobs, a small isolated community of families living in the hills behind New Village a small country some distance from High Town. There is nothing politically correct about Donna. She is large, in fact the only way to really describe her that she is fat and has the gracefulness of a water buffalo. Donna did however have an easy going, happy disposition and it was hard not to like her. Sex was kept well and truly within her family. It was a private thing her father would say with her mother nonchalantly agreeing and should be with those closest to her. Donna had moved away to become a stable girl at Surrogate Farm and had settled in very well. The local lads all liked her and she was a 'real good sport' when it came to satisfying their needs.
