Margarets mother has just died, its sad news. But as the Reverend Mother in The Sound of Music said, where there is a door that closes, somewhere a window opens. Enter Thornton.
I'm almost half way through North and South, and really loving it! The dvd of the BBC mini-series is sitting on the bookshelf, urging me to hurry up and finish. Mr Thornton is currently broken hearted and even more determined today to win the heart of our obstinate and lovely Margaret. It's her second proposal in months.
