One thing I'm curious about is where Cookson gets all her expressions from. She includes so many sayings in all her books, but often when I google them later, I'm unable to find any other reference about them. "Don't laugh at the moon", "Look at her, sitting there like an old woman dreaming of her Egypt", "don't give God a chance". Where do these come from? urn:lcp:glassvirginnovel00cook:epub:3e4dd9f2-7304-4566-be71-3b86b68db209 Extramarc OhioLINK Library Catalog Foldoutcount 0 Identifier glassvirginnovel00cook Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t7kp93j35 Isbn 9780743261265 Annabella Lagrange had the kind of childhood that most can only dream about. The only child of an aristocratic couple, raised on their magnificent estate in the English countryside, she was loved by her parents and coddled by servants who acquiesced to her every whim. She was allowed to do anything she wanted, except, of course, to stray too far from her wing of the house. But her seclusion didn't concern her too much, because when she grew up, she planned to marry her handsome cousin Stephen and live happily ever after.

But then we shift from Redford Hall & follow Annabella as she spends a year with working-class folks. A violent surfacing of adolescence (which has little in common with Tarkington's earlier, broadly comic, Seventeen) has a compulsive impact. Hollywood on Tyne: Catherine Cookson Dramas". bbc.co.uk.

Some of these miniseries were directed by competent professionals, and some of them were directed by people with concussions. This is one of the latter. There’s a lot of moments like this:

Suurimaks miinuseks pidasin aga viisi, kuidas Manuel vabandusi otsima hakkas, kui võõra naisega voodist leiti. Selle asemel, et asi ilusti ära seletada, hakkab ta end õigustama "meeste loomulike vajadustega". Väga nõme! Raamatu esimene pool meeldis mulle tunduvalt enam. Seal oli põnevust ja sünget eelaimust tulevikusündmuste kohta. Positiivselt mõjusid ka peategelased. Manuel tundus olevat aus, sirgjooneline, kannatlik ja töökas mees. Annabella kohta oli natuke raskem järeldusi teha, tegu oli ju ikkagi alles lapsega. Aga temagi jättis mulle hea mulje oma vaikse oleku ja korrektsusega.

Betty Watford was pretty despicable, but the text kind of leaves it up to you, not being overly judgmental toward her one way or another. I did feel bad she got raped and had to spend a long time searching for work after she got fired, but blaming a seven-year-old child for your misfortunes is just ridiculous--particularly after she was the one who was foolish enough to call Annabella a bastard within her hearing. Of course the kid was going to go ask somebody what that means, idiot. That was like asking to get fired. And then she tries to get revenge on her years later? Annabella had previous accidentally got the cook fired, too, and everyone in the house acted like she was evil. She was just asking questions, as curious seven-year-olds are wont to do--she didn't know it would get anyone fired when she asked what a bastard was or why the cook wouldn't just give the table scraps to the beggar children for free. The fact of her age is never brought up in Annabella's defence, so I feel the need to do it here. I feel bad for Betty Watford, but seriously, lady, blame Annabella's parents if you need to blame someone, not the little kid who just wanted to know what a word meant. She even refused to tell who'd called her a bastard when the whole household got in a hubbub over it, so you should actually think kindly of her. Stupid wench. In 1983 Katie Mulholland was adapted into a stage musical by composer Eric Boswell and writer-director Ken Hill. Cookson attended the première. [16]

Manuel has just found Annabella taking refuge in Crazy Amy’s hovel after being lost for two days. She’s ill and upset.]Annabella, meanwhile, tries to drown herself because she can’t live without Manuel and feels like this is the best way to tell him. Or something. Maybe she just went for a walk and didn’t know what water meant. She’s not too bright. Cookson [née Davies], Dame Catherine Ann (1906–1998), writer".
