When Mrs. Rowson says her line about coming back because Ann has company (clearly intending that Anne Lister should take the hint and excuse herself), and Ann simply says "if you like" ... hilarious. Of course we're all in love with Anne, but Ann had her own quiet spunk; given the times, she was also incredibly courageous.
Old Mrs. Rawson: "Maybe Ms. Wool-kah will let Ms. Lis-tah dip into her purse? Whatever else she's been letting her dip into." Hahahahahaha... Good times!
She was so trully magnificent, living in the difficult era for women to express themselves and yet she absolutely had lived her life very well even much better than most people. How the world was oblivious of her great personality for almost 200 years.
Takes one to know one,,, is Christopher Rawson unmarried? All we see of him is sociopathy, but there are enough clues to suggest his sexuality: perhaps that is why the Mother and the Rawson family in general seem so permissive, not religiously scandalized, by this topic, in contrast to the Priestleys and other family members.....very well scripted and presented...since the Production is about Anne Listers diaries, theses scenes are completely fabricated, but included for very important reasons, open to interpretation...very well done SW.
Imagine my unbelievable surprise to find out this show existed, let alone that Elizabeth Rawson is my 10th cousin 5x removed & Jeremiah & Christopher Rawson are my 11th cousins 4x removed. I'm not directly related to Anne Lister but she is in my family tree too.
0:20-1:53 😂😂 Ann talks about how nice she is Mrs. Rawson is just like still on the topic that she’s gay Ann: Don’t be absurd 😂 What episode is that scene in??
