      Modern people having a period conversation about the time period:
      Cora: "Have tampons been invented yet, do y' think?"
      Violet: "No, not until the Great War, and then only to staunch the bloodflow from battle wounds. We women won't benefit for another 20 years, at the earliest. I'm not affected any longer, of course, but I do feel for you and the girls. Not that _they_ will be able to use them until _after_ they're married."
      Cora: _"Twenty years?_ Oh dear. Those poor women we're portraying, how ever did they manage without losing their minds? And no ibuprofen, I'll bet, either. And, no, I will not bar _any_ of my daughters from using tampons before they're married, if they want to use them. They're half American, after all."
      Violet: "My dear, don't be so _middle class._ It doesn't become you."

    Joanna Lumley's final look at "All that rich food, I'll be scrubbing those toilets until midnight - I'll be chiseling it off." Priceless. Almost the same look of horror and revulsion Dame Edith Evans gave when her character realizes Mr. Worthing was found in a handbag. Would love to see Lumley play Lady Bracknell some time.
