Dr Charm

by J. Manx

I’m a bit of a romantic by nature. I blame this on my mother. Well educated and considered sophisticated, she had a secret vice. She was a Mills and Boon addict. While other women responded to their vices by dieting, exercising and therapy, Mother fed hers with a diet of romance fiction. Once a week, she would take me shopping to a local parade of shops which included a second-hand book store. Mother would never normally take me shopping; she was usually far too busy. However, she allowed me on these local jaunts so that I could help her lug back carrier bags full of pulp fiction. My father would pick up the books and snort with laughter at the improbable names of the heroes: ‘The honourable James Salle de Bain, Sheik Rafiq al a Mein, Count Rocco Castellane, and Raphael Montaigne.’

Between the ages of 12 and 14, these books added spice to a dull reading regime of set school texts. The romance and the sexual tension gave me what I thought was a useful insight into the adult world and encouraged my developing sexual awareness.

There were various categories of romance: Wild West, historical, spy thriller, old-fashioned, intrigue, regency, enchanted, the list went on. My favourite of the genre were the ‘Medical’ series. In these, doctors or surgeons with names like Nathan Dauphin or James Raphael du Perignon, would be the stars of rollercoaster romances. The plots were basic and varied little, but I was amazed at the range of those subtle variations. A brilliant, young surgeon is ignorant of the pretty, conscientious ward nurse. However, when he sees the way she helps his mother recover from an operation for Alzheimer’s (using a technique he has developed) he falls in love with her. The handsome but arrogant doctor, who works hard and lives fast, falls in love with the demure practice secretary, when, having been blinded while acting foolishly with a model in his Porsche, is led back to health and learns to appreciate that looks aren’t everything. Or, the handsome doctor with the speech impediment who finds it difficult to ask out his stunning, but sensitive, practice midwife who is bored with the attentions of playboy millionaires … Anyway, you get the picture. I eventually cast the books aside in favour of other adolescent pursuits but the stories had left a faint print on my subconscious.

Have you ever heard the expression what the mind expects tends to happen? Years later, when I was twenty-two and during my final year at university, I went, with my closest friend Miranda, to a ‘psychic fair’ exhibition in London. At the exhibition there was a tarot reader. We went in for a laugh but I came out with a mission.

I had seated myself, a little nervously, in front of a pleasant, middle-aged man who passed me a pack of cards and asked me to shuffle them well. As I did so, he made polite conversation. Where did I live? What did I do? That type of thing.
