Writing, stories, notions, and nonsense from Hanna Brady

Patron Saint of Organization, Good Government and Waffles

PHRYNE FISHER

Our lady of taking no nonsense

Let us pray...

SAINT PHRYNE! Hear us and give us strength!

Watch over us and guide us through the days with your glittering smile and flashing weaponry. Help us to pursue our dreams and to recognize the prattle of the unkind and the prejudiced for what it is.

Oh, Patron of Feminism! Walk with us between the ancient and crumbling stonework of patriarchy and the sprouting shacks of exclusivity on the path to true, inclusive equality. Smite with empathy those that stand ignorant! Smite with understanding those who stand opposed!

We follow you, and your speeding Hispano-Suiza, through the wilds of our confused world. Lead us with your unerring sense of justice and your dogged pursuit of Truth.

Grant us also the ability to look fantastic in hats, and in whatever other fashion we choose.

Watch over us, SAINT PHRYNE. Watch over wayward children - especially those with a wild streak. Watch over sisters. And watch over all of us who have more curiosity than is strictly healthy.
