I have real trouble with Julia saying that she likes Angelique. I can only figure that Julia is firmly putting out of her mind all of her previous encounters with Angelique because she's got to stay on Angelique's good side. And, of course, it's easier for Julia to do that because Angelique has given up on Barnabas and is planning to marry Quentin. Julia knows, therefore, that Quentin has dissolved his relationship with Amanda. How did Julia explain to Angelique that she welcomed Amanda into her house knowing that Quentin was planning to run off with Amanda?
A new ring for a new life. Sounds familiar. Is Quentin feeling feminine today? The ring gave us a good look at David Selby's hands, which always seem to me as though they're attached to the wrong body. They should be long and lean, like Selby himself, but instead they're soft and stubby.
So Edward likes John Donne? Donne sounds awfully intellectual for Edward. I would think he would prefer Tennyson.
