I saw this film when I was a teenager (over 20 years ago) and it must have stayed with me because I heard Maggie Smith and Helena Bonham Carter saying all their lines as I read. They are such wonderful characters. Oh and Mr Beebe too. I love the way Lucy talks. I'm not sure George is the right guy for Lucy, but Cecil? Urgh, he's such a cad. I find it hard to believe he managed to talk her into saying yes in the first place.

I found the 100+yo text a bit harder to read than modern lit, so I was glad it was a pretty short book. I really enjoyed it tho!
