Next illustration of This trial image shows a distressing incident in the 1828 work updated for the modern world with an imaginary BBW opera  singer and an equally imaginary hedge fund manager. The incident depicts Stendhal's advice to a woman who needs to quickly crush a would-be lover's hopes (page 48).  The viewer can predict the next moment.  The medium is particularly suitable for her silk dress and the gallery exhibition.  The reactions of the other party-goers are provided.

Stendhal's "Love" (1828): Cruel to be Kind

This incident is loosely based on 'Affaire de Coeur' in "Biggles, Pioneer Air Fighter", a series of stories about an imaginary RAF fighter pilot in the First World War. The woman is a spy who wins Biggle's confidence when he force lands in German-held territory. After he is unwittingly used as a courier, she betrays him, not out of hate but love. She wants him to survive the war. The woman is based on a charity-shop figurine but the remainder is completely free-hand.
