MM, I would expect nothing less from you than: “…I will personally ensure your slow and excruciatingly painful death, and tear you apart, piece by miserable piece and scatter your remains where nothing but cockroaches and other scavengers would delight in your demise..”

My fave quote from Downton Abbey is: “With your permission, dear, I’ll take my fences one at a time.”

Cranford, Dr. Zhivago and Downton Abbey are my favorites.

Iove this show–this last episode was especially soapy–I’m tempted to buy the 2nd season blu-ray already but at the same time want to savor it. You’ll be glad to know for the third season, Shirley MacLaine will be joining the cast as Lady Grantham’s mother– https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-16796462. Imagine her and the Dowager Countess–they’ll have the best lines i’m sure.

OMG, I can’t picture the teen getting married!! She was barely walking when I first met her!!! But that IS a brilliant line to keep in your pocket for when that day comes. Downton Abbey rocks.

Too early to think of the teen getting married. First I am imagining her cotillon with all the flowers and great arrangements to the T by MM and Mrs. MM. On the other hand maybe the teen will decide to forgo the cotillon in place of a Range Rover. hmmm……

love, love, love this series. my 11 year old son watches it with me and laughs at the dialogue. especially Lady Violet’s…. happy bottomtime (my son used to say this instead of Valentine’s) day to you MM, your family and readers!

MM, i watch Downton Abbey every Sunday. there were actually quite a number of zingers this last episode. like: “don’t be defeatist dear, it’s very middle class.” & “the aristocracy has not survived by its intransigence…” all from Lady Violet. the dialogue you feature was really good, and i imagine, quite realistic for dads with daughters. :)

Josephine, we used to have five seriously loyal german shepherds growing up — they would do the deed with little urging. :)

You might need to acquire something more ferocious than a beautiful brown labrador…
