Perhaps the most in need of medication is youngest sister Irina, who clocks up dismal hours in the local telegraph office and whose loveless engagement to an army lieutenant ends when he is killed in a duel.

Like a sunflower starved of light, her wilting heroine had barely enough energy to proclaim, as Irina does, "We must work...
...Note to Rose: whenever you're in doubt of your abilities, just take out a copy of Goddess. Nowhere else is her loopy sadness and extraterrestrial beauty put to better effect.

With the company's COO post empty since Charlie Bell took over as CEO, following Jim Cantalupo's untimely death, Babrowski's corporate climb may still have a rung...
...naked through a tent--his elaborately muscled body a perfect subject for sculptor Praxiteles and already gold-plated by the sun--he gives a sense of the beast god luxuriating in his earned star quality. "I've known men like you my whole life," says the defiant virgin Briseis (Rose Byrne). "No, you haven't," Achilles replies, not as a boast but as a warning and a promise from a war stud...
