Years ago, I entered a contest where the object was to create, using seventy words or fewer, a personal ad for a literary character. This was my entry:
About me:
I am no beauty. In truth, I am plain. However, I am clever, kind, loving, staunchly moral and upright. Perhaps I am more forgiving than I should be.
I am looking for:
A relationship with no secrets!
Note: To be considered, any swarthy gentleman in possession of a shadowy manse must agree to a thorough inspection of all buildings—attics included.

I didn't win, or even place, but I thought it was cute enough.
Okay, technically, Mrs. Rochester wasn't in the attic, but I was nipping at the word limit.
