Downal Wyth Bluddy Clichés: Prompt 4

So, in the last three weeks, there has been a lot of really wonderful discussion about Mally and also the Hatter but, chiefly, the discourse has been about Alice (of Tim Burton's film).  If you haven't taken a peek at the comments from the previous cliché posts, I highly recommend doing so!

Well, as for the next cliché, let's give Alice a break and burn someone else's ears, shall we?  How about...

Lowell Manchester is an irredeemable and dastardly scoundrel.

Heh.  That sounds like something fun to play with, doesn't it?  (^__~)  And (P.S.) I love the word "dastardly"!

This prompt was requested by wanderamaranth who wrote in a comment on the Downal Wyth Bluddy Clichés main page:

I would like to see the cliché of Lowell-as-heartless-dog addressed. I know there's not much interest in Lowell, poor dear...but what if he's really not that bad of a chap? What if Margaret has ENCOURAGED him to find pleasure outside their marriage...and [he] only tells Alice to think about her sister because of the social implications, not the emotional ones?

 

Let the discussion begin!
