Thanks, Guin!!
Thanks, Guin!!
Based on a comment you made in a thread here, I spent 7 lovely hours this weekend getting caught up on Downton Abbey. Brilliant! I can't wait for the new series. Thanks for mentioning it here!
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

You're welcome. Next season starts in October, I believe.
And you might enjoy The American Heiress, by Daisy Goodwin. From Amazon.com: "Anyone suffering Downton Abbey withdrawal symptoms (who isn't?) will find an instant tonic in Daisy Goodwin’s The American Heiress. The story of Cora Cash, an American heiress in the 1890s who bags an English duke, this is a deliciously evocative first novel that lingers in the mind." --Allison Pearson, New York Times bestselling author of I Don’t Know How She Does It and I Think I Love You
Now, it wasn't anywhere near as compelling at DA, but it was a decent read.
