“love will always cross the class divide”
So says Lynda, so that should be that.
I have no doubt it won’t be, though. Just whoever listens to Lynda (except Robert)?
Is ‘the horsey set’ really still that important?
Susan’s over the moon that Chris is
“finally on the inside of the horsey set”
Living in a rural area myself, I’m all too aware that this ‘horsey set’ still has money and some of the local dignitary muscle, but I wasn’t aware that some folks still desperately aspire to be ‘part’ of them.
Still, we are talking about Susan here. She sees her chance to get rid of the Horrobin tint to her family, and she’s grabbing it with everything she’s got.
Sober or not.
Susan Vs. Jennifer round 2
First Susan brings Jennifer yesterday’s flowers.
Hugs her.
Asks:
“do you find you burn things in an aga?”
And it doesn’t really improve from there.
I think we’re going to see a simultaneous knock-out eventually …
Neil gets a word in
“don't ever think you don't deserve her”
Good Neil. That’s the way to be a nice dad, and truly proud of your son (rather than being more excited about the potential high society cocktail parties, Susan).
And lovely that he shared his Shula crush. She should have grabbed you when she could, my friend.
Even more – Neil reminded us that the horror of being related works both ways.
“I still struggle to think of myself related to Brian”
Now that’s a great granny!
Peggy’s pleased for Alice and Chris, and helps them build their deposit for a house.
Then, she takes on Jennifer:
“oh you are a misery”
“you really are a cracking snob”
“your grandmother came from the east end of London. Look to your own roots before you criticise.”
No mention of her alcoholic publican dad though …
Still, I can’t see Jennifer changing her opinions just because Peggy has a go.
“A joint mortgage will really complicate things when they get divorced”
“She should’ve have married someone of her own class”
Mortgages and class. Looks like Jennifer has seen, judged, and set her mind.
