The writer and columnist [Damian Barr] takes up our Twitter-based challenge to come up with a story in 140 characters or fewer:
“Optimism is Savile Row then Harley St. The surgeon sighed expensively as x-rays and fate flickered. She made a note to cancel his winter coat.”
– Anyone fancy having a go?

I can’t resist my own challenge!
This is a potted precis of a classic novel. Can you guess which one?
“He sneered; she scowled; they danced; love sparked. A family scandal threatened ruin; his money saved the day. Marriage and a grand house.”
Pride and Prejudice, of course.
Heh, heh…too easy.
