Whatever one thinks of fox-hunting, that scene was outstanding; as was the dining a deux scene. It must be availble on DVD!<br />fitzgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-49487400213406128782011-11-03T17:09:27.295+01:002011-11-03T17:09:27.295+01:00Glad to find others who like me enjoyed this drama...Glad to find others who like me enjoyed this drama very much, @Alessia and @Jenny! <br />And @Risa, what Jenny says just reminded what made the book so little fun: the narrator's long comments.
