Sometimes literary/film characters use the personals section too. Which leading man posted this want ad?
SWM seeks able governess. Not looking for romance; been BURNED before. Hobbies/skills include horseback-riding, international travel, abrupt changes in mood, and surviving multiple arson attempts. Enjoys scowling at servants and darkly brooding on the moors. Appearance unimportant, as house is ill-lit and shadowy. NOT MARRIED.

One of those!
