Oh my gosh. This is feeling like the part of a Hallmark movie that’s about 5-10 minutes until the end, and everything is in shambles, and I think there’s no way this will be resolved & they’ll get their happily ever after ...

Jamie Kennedy Marten.

Jamie Kennedy? Like the comedic actor? 😆

A man who cannot keep you safe is a man who doesn’t deserve you.

🥰

... without the housekeeper’s intervention she’d be pushing up tulips. Wait, those are from Holland, aren’t they? Lavender. Pushing up lavender. That sounds suitably English.

Isn’t the saying “pushing up DAISIES” anyway?

Oh, my gosh! What kind of poison did Collette sneakily administer to Jamie via the candy?

Oops! Spoiler!!!

Come now. Dry your tears. Tell Wi... me what’s the matter.

Oooo ... Mrs. K nearly spilled her secret to Jamie. How convenient that housekeepers don’t typically go by their first names in the households they serve (?).

😳🤔

His lordship is almost forty now ...

I had been wondering what their ages are. Now I just need some clue about Jamie’s. 😁

Jamie is from NC. And she takes her tea cold & sweet, like Southern gals do. 😁

Yay! A reference to Colin Firth in that quintessential miniseries! 🥰

Micah Axelby, Earl of Dunnington supposedly looks like him. 😍

The contemporary dialogue was promising.

This historical part, so far, sounds “stereotypical” ... as if all the known expected elements were just thrown together for good measure.

Now that that’s out of the way, hopefully things progress more smoothly ... or as smoothly as a fish out of water trope can go. 😁
