Dear Page One Hundred and Something.

Usually.
However, in reading Les Miserables, as soon as the character of Fantine was introduced and described along the lines of "blond and innocent" with the company of a somewhat dubious boyfriend, my mind immediately thought, "She's going to get pregnant and abandoned."
Low and behold, five mini chapters later: Pregnant and abandoned.
That'll teach you to be blond and innocent.
