[Mysterious Benefactor]

Bram: "Frankly Mother, I don't know why you're against it!   Catherine and Daphne and I belong together!   And baby makes four!"
Flora: "Oh, Bramwell..."

[Mysterious Benefactor]

Bramwell seriously questioned the wisdom of Flora wearing four lit candles in her hair - especially when one had burned down to the point where it seemed dangerously close to igniting her hair!!

[Mysterious Benefactor]

Bram: "Frankly Mother, I don't know..."

Mother?! Is there a parenting scandal in 1841PT that was never explored?!    Those Collinses - they just can't keep their hands off of each other!!  [spoiler]And the idea of Barnabas and Flora would certainly be fascinating given what we learn about Justin and Josette![/spoiler]

(I realized my mistake a few hours later when trying to get to sleep...!   What is Flora to Bramwell?  An aunt?)

[Mysterious Benefactor]

(Given Joan Bennett played Barnabas' mother, it's a very easy mistake - especially when our fingers think quicker than our brains.    I was just having fun with it - not poking fun at you.

Flora is Bramwell's cousin (by marriage - and who knows if there are any removeds in there?).)

(You were very polite about it actually, the intent was understood.   And it does seem like the fingers are jumping the gun, and are ahead of the brain, sometimes...)
