  I love Miss Bunting! Passionate, radical, and winding everyone up. Great stuff.

  I actually wouldn't mind Miss Bunting if Branson showed even a slight affection for her. But I just don't see that he cares for her so why should we? Please don't miss your train Miss B.

  No they weren't. My grandmother's sisters went to grammar school in this period, and they were daughters of a tenant farmer.

  Does anyone else think it strange that the gents stand up when someone leaves the table but the women stay seated?

  If Anna gets arrested we will have to watch all those prison scenes from series 3 in reverse. Please don't do it to us. I wish Anna could be happy for 5 minutes.
