I just finished a great book of them,<a href="http://bit.ly/bUDpE5" rel="nofollow"> Dear Bob, Dear Betty </a>, with two very sweet people during the depression.

Meanwhile, Cyrano himself had fallen in love with her, but out of respect for his friend (and fear that his hideous looks would prove too difficult for Roxanne to overcome) did nothing but continue the ruse. Unfortunately, Cyrano and Christian were sent to war shortly after the wedding! While on the battlefield, Christian had an epiphany, realizing that his wife actually loved Cyrano, who so caringly was sending her daily letters on his behalf so that she had hope driven from every carefully crafted word. I won't spoil the ending, though! There are many adaptations of the story of Cyrano; I've seen it on PBS done on stage, in French, and there are also variations of it available on Netflix ( http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Cyrano_de_Bergerac/60011695?trkid=222336&lnkctr=srchrd-sr&strkid=775433784_0_0 ). :)Dream Senshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18060837135277452070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708559610065693185.post-43125071286561784732009-02-17T10:20:00.000-08:002009-02-17T10:20:00.000-08:00What happened with Cyrano?
