whitereflectionBeware, I indulged in some Greate Stupiditye (you'll understand in a moment) in my desire to write a minor rant. Please forgive my foolishness--I could not resist a bit of Mockerye, Frivolitye, and High-Jinxe. ^^;;
(Imagine, if you will, a newspaper column from the late-1800s. Something incredibly British and upper crust-like. I sincerely apologize for the horrid!!!pseudo-Victorian speak.)

Dear Mrs. Basilsnoote,
As a young woman of quality, I wish to excel at the fine art of writing stories regarding a performance I particularly enjoyed. However, there is one character that confuses me greatly, and I seek clarification before I attempt such story-telling. In your opinion, is one F____ S_____ of His-Royal-Highness of Handball evil?
Sincerely yours,

Gentle Authoress,
To determine whether the aforementioned character is, in fact, Eville, we must be on the look-out for several key traits. First and foremost of which, is the Attitude and Demeanore of the aforementioned individual. In this case, Master F____ S______ appears to be a Charminge and Engaginge gentleman, always wearing the brightest of Cheerye Smiles! So it would seem that he is, in fact, not Eville; yet wait for a moment when he does not believe he is being watched, and lo! The smile is gone, and an Colde and Calculatinge expression does take its place! We thus have the strongeste sign of Great Darkness in the character.
In truth, Master F_____ does possess a personality that is but a mask for another, darker, more Malevolente side. For you see, he is Clever, Calculating, Manipulating, and above all else, Eville! And how might I know this? Take this to heart, Gentle Authoress; for I am an Authore of Great Calibre who has crafted workes these past two and some years, and I have acquired Greate Knowledge during that time. And if there is one thing that I have learnt to be true, is that cheerful persons are Always cheerful, and never, ever do they show a moment of Serious-ness. If they are tainted by a Serious thought or feelinge, it means that secretly they are Not! Cheerfulle at all, but are only Play-Acting at being so. And what reason would they have for Play-Acting at being Cheerye, for assuming such a Masque? Why, to prevent those around them from guessinge that they wish great harm on the Worlde, of course!
And so you see, that Master F_____ is but portraying a Sunnye disposition to his companions, whilst in actuality he wishes them Greate Ille (especially in regards to their Romantique and Amourous entanglements, but I will save such discussions for times in the future). He is at heart but a Shadowed Soule, who lives but to torment others. He will crafte and scheme to bring about such Endes, as will all of his ilk.
In summary, my young Gentle Authoress, always look for these Traites in the "Cheerye" type of performers of Animatede Jollifications and other Theatricalle Eventes: are they ever Serious? Do they show much Cleverness and Witte? Do they ever, at Any Time, show a tendencye of being Calculating or Manipulating, even in the Slightest amounte? Do they show a personality of Strengthe, Fortitude, Determinationne, and Perseverance? If you feel you muste answer "Yes" to any of these queries, then that person is quite Eville! And therefore you should write them as such--indeed, you should make them the Villainne of every work in your reperatoire. For you yourself would never display such traits, would you? You would never have such shadows Blightinge the cheeriest places in your heart, not even for the Briefeste of Moments; as a truly Cheerfulle and Charminge person, you would Always, Always! be Cheerye, would you not? And so, as it is for we Reale Human Beinges, so it is for our Animated Counterpartes.
I pray that this Advyce has assisted you, and that you encountre the Greatest of success in your Writinge Endeavours.
God Save the Queen,
Mrs. Albert Thaddeus Basilsnoote, Esq.

Dearest Authoress, there is but one further iteme that I should mentione. If indeede, you DO in fact Exhibite some of the personality Traites that I have thus listed, do be Honorable and admit that you are Eville, as well. Commit yourself At Once! into the care of the Authorities, so they might remove you to an Asylum of Incarcerationne post haste, for you are a Dangere! to all Familye and Friendes around you!
