Life abounds with unexpected happy endings
more successful romances than I ever supposed:
Consider the life of Lady Ellenborough, born Jane
Elizabeth Digby, a gay divorcee in eighteen thirty
She went to live in Damascus and the Syrian deserts
where she met Medjuel, a noble Bedouin - became
Jane Digby el Mezrab, spending six months a year
Western-style in her Damascus villa, the other six
Bedouin style in his desert tent, for a happy marriage of
twenty six years – in the desert she milked the camels,
served her husband, waiting on him as he ate, like any
Arab woman; called the White Devil by the Bedouins
Because of her courage, she killed an enemy sheik;
this beautiful love story satisfies my appetite for
happiness after being shocked by stories of sadness
and hatred – long live Lady Jane Digby el Mezrab
In love with and adored by her husband,
Medjuel, till the day of her death…
