We just held a Season 2 marathon this weekend, getting ready for tonight’s season premier! Watched via Amazon Instant Video. Tonight’s premier was wonderful..Maggie Smith IS excellent. She makes the show.
It’s refreshing to see people who don’t want to take something they feel they’re not truly entitled to, i.e. Daisy not wanting to marry William because she didn’t really love him and didn’t think it was right to benefit from his soldier’s pension and now Matthew, who betrayed Lavinia and feels guilty accepting her father’s inheritance under those circumstances.
How different from people nowadays who think they’re entitled to everything they want and not have to work to earn it.
We truly have lost pride and honor as a bedrock of our community.
