(pause while I remember how much my 24-year-old self adored The Two Mrs Grenvilles. Sigh. And The House of Mirth is still one of my favorite novellas)

So I thought Shirley MacLaine was a bit wasted (she's one of my favorite actresses, so I am biased, I admit). But overall I enjoyed. I think Tom the Irish former chauffeur is super cute so I'm happy to see him back. And of course Maggie Smith does no wrong in my eyes.

My goal this week is to find an opportunity to say, "I say, have you done something jolly with your hair?"
