When I was younger, I would have said Catherine and Hareton Earnshaw (Wuthering Heights). I was never a Heathcliff girl, but I had a MAJOR crush on Hareton. Of course they are cousins, which is a bit ick, but still…
Now I'm older (yes!) and wiser (…maybe), I have a couple of favourite couples. The pair in Katherine Mansfield's short story 'Something Strange, But Very Natural' for their purity and beauty; and George Simeon's Maigrets. Mrs Maigret is so wonderfully calm and such a wonderful chef in the face of anything. Her quiet nature is much underrated, I feel. I have always thought of her as a Mycroft figure to Maigret's Holmes, one feels she holds all the answers if only her husband would ask!
