Can't Angelique see what she herself is doing? She told Ben she wanted Barnabas to love her of his own free will - but today she manipulated Barnabas into agreeing to marry her out of shame, not love. She told Barnabas that all she wanted was to make him happy - but she knows he is in agony over losing Josette, something that she herself caused to happen. She's lying to herself as well as to the rest of the world, and no good can come of that. The devil has his hooks into her good and proper.
I like Josette's...um...over-the-nightgownwear. It's obviously got an elegant name, but I'm not good at elegant names for the loungewear of ladies. Anyway, I like it, even though I don't want to, because it's so silly. It's never going to keep her warm; all it does is to make her presentable to members of the household, but the multiple purple pleats around the neck please my eye.
I recited the cut-and-paste part of the opening voiceover with Lara Parker. It passes the time.
