"Flora is determined to match up Arthur with everything in a dress, apparently"

[rosa_cotton]

The above quote (quite brilliantly funny) comes from one of litlover12's reviews of the recent BBC Little Dorrit miniseries. And I actually recalled it after recently finishing The Watsons by Jane Austen and completed by L. Oulton. A bit on the melodramatic side, I was bemused by Mr. Howard being the object of three ladies' affection (or at the least interest) during the course of the story: Emma (the object of HIS affection, but neither know their regard is returned until, naturally, the last five pages of the book); Miss Osbourne (the one he doesn't realize at first has her eye on him); and Lady Osbourne (of whose interest he is oblivious). ...In some ways Mr. Howard's situation made me think of Arthur and his girl troubles.

Ah, literature romances!!

Comments unrelated to the post, but to the post's icon is completely acceptable. :) And, yes, it is indeed Bernard/Bianca, bless their hearts!

Well, you are welcome! Thank YOU for the quote. So original, memorable, funny, and it perfectly captured that part of the episode! Poor Arthur seemed completely bewildered.

Ah, pretty Amy/Arthur icon goodness! ...Think I'm developing a craving for Amy/Arthur fanfic fix, and to rewatch Little Dorrit.
