Mister Marvelous

Marvellous is a grand word, is it not? As it rolls off the tongue, it feels quite like it means. And it has history; France's post-revolutionary dandies called their equally exquisite ladies “Les Marveileuses.” Marvellous means wonderful, exquisite and astonishing. With a bit of strangeness as well – as indicated by the old Latin “mirabilis”. A marvellous thing must be strange in that it must be like nothing else.
