If you're still doing detective drama casting hour - may I request cameo / guest star roles for Harriet Walter and/or Edward Petherbridge in the Wimsey reboot of your dreams?
Harriet Walter for the Warden of Shrewsbury (and queen of my heart forever and ever, amen.) Edward Petherbridge, with his indelibly Wimsey-ish face -- and hands! -- as the wise and scandalous Uncle Paul.
He had 1 job
This blog has been telling you not to trust pelicans for over a decade and this is why
look at the expression on the worker's face. They've done this a hundred times.
Kinda of a downer and you don't have to answer this but your post about how one of the austen heroines could die giving birth made me think of how the heroes would grieve. Do you think they would remarry and such?
I don't mind. It's important to remember that in this era (and sometimes even in Western countries today), people aren't only marrying for love. If Mr. Darcy ended up widowed with a daughter, he might think the "right" and responsible thing to do is to marry so there is a mother in the house to look after the child. And having a mistress of the manor was a real job which was even more important when you had children.
I've written this. (it's sad obviously)
Reblogging this because I think imagining Austen heroes or heroines as people who wouldn't move on and find love again is kind of antithetical to Austen's whole point in Sense & Sensibility. Both Marianne and Colonel Brandon do get a second chance at love! Devotion to first attachments is part of Marianne's immature Romantic nonsense. Aside from practical considerations, most people do move on and I think Austen characters would too.
I liked the part where the possums ate fruit

There was a random bee on my kitchen floor today, and she seemed quite dazed because she was walking. So I picked her up and gave her some sugar water, and put her outside where she belongs.
We bought our new sweet kitten a harness for walks. We had her try it on to get her comfortable with it and I’m not sure she loved it.
she’s laying there, TRAPPED, nay ENSNARED, and you’re LAUGHING
I can’t make pasta any more without mumbling to myself, “wet the drys… then dry the wets…”
