Episode 6 was brilliant, again, one on my favourites list. I must admit, I did like Zillah again in this, you saw her moody, up-tight side in this, making everybody else react.
Dorcas was at her (meddling) best in trying to arrange a 'coming together' of Thomas and Miss Ellison, but I admire anyone who can apologise it they've done wrong. Glad it worked out though.
One of the best bits though (not the best in my mind in this episode) was Sir Tim coming to the Post Office in the middle of the night. Embarrased at finding everyone in their nightwear, he couldn't quite look our Dorcas in the eye. Zillah and the 'i've seen weepin and a wailing, tears and kisses......... I wanted more. The upstairs conversation definitely made me want to know more of the early days between the pair. He knew she couldn't say no to him and when he says, like Larkriser said, ' sometimes, circumstances force us to reflect.......' He knows he made a huge mistake.
The Definition of Love, totally sums up the relationship between the pair and both of them knew it. Both of them reading it - it could have been written by either of them and summed up their relationship perfectly.
My best bit out of this whole episode was when Adelaide payed a call on the Post Office. The meeting with Dorcas and the 'question' scene was fantastic. I loved watching the expressions of Dorcas in this. Excellent timing and reactions - superb acting. Brings a chuckle everytime I see it.
When Thomas is trying to explain to Sir Tim about the mix up with the poem, could the looks at the end between the two be any more searching and wanting!!!!!
