Violet: Oh, good Heavens, what am I sitting on?
Matthew: A-swivel chair.
Violet: Another modern brain wave?
Matthew: Not very modern. They were invented by Thomas Jefferson.
Violet: Why does everyday involve a fight with an American?
Matthew: I’ll fetch a different one.
Violet: No, no. I’m a good sailor.
Maggie Smith is one of the better things to have happened to this universe.

ϟ A New Day, A New Obsession
So, as my last few posts have shown, Downton Abbey is my new favourite thing in the Universe.
I just finished Season 1 today, and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHh it was such an emotional, amazing journey. I love those first few weeks of magic when you discover a new tv show/ movie/ musician, and EVERYTHING about it seems perfect. I’m going to finish Season 2 before this initial excitement wears off, and then spend the rest of the year in agony waiting for season 3 to start.
But seriously, this show is SO GOOD. It has so much going on, but every single person is a proper, full-fledged character. EVERYONE!
And the clothes and the jewellery and the sets AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH.
Anyway, I’m in love.
