Yeah, this is one of the best!
Joshua holds Naomi in a stiff embrace--not from dislike, but because he doesn't know how to show tenderness. The scene with Barn and his parents was wonderful. So was the scene where Barn tells Joshua to keep Angelique away from him. Barn tells the story of how Joshua came home wounded during the war (the Revolution). The first time I saw that I teared up.
Barn doesn't die in Josette's arms, but I'm pretty sure he heard her promise to wait for him.
Great final scene where Joshua tells Naomi, Natalie and Josette that he'll spread a rumor that Barnabas has gone to England on business. Natalie and Josette are horror struck because they know the book terribly wrong--but right again.
Fabulous acting from all concerned, with Frid and Edmonds outstanding.
