I remember being disappointed by the book because I'd seen the series so much and it was so different. Lydia is much more endearing in the series despite being a little devious with the money etc.

I love how Lydia changes from controlling to being completely humiliated by "Arthur's notoriety" leading to her trying to form a new life for herself and ending up being helpful (helping out at the mission and trying to organise a fundraiser) and quite sweet.

Arthur ends up being very creepy with Evie. Burrrrrr. I love how, in the first episode, asks her to make sure there are handles on the inside as well as the outside.

I do wonder what Arthur must have been like before the war and how the war had changed his personality. What is the buttoned up exterior hiding?

Arthur definitely takes advantage of the changes brought by the war. For example, he doesn't let his mother dictate who he should marry. He wants to marry who he wants, for love.

I actually like Aunt Lydia *and* Arthur. They are both absolutely products of their time/upbrining

Oh, yes, and maybe I am crazy, but I think fic about Arthur and/or Aunt Lydia's adventures in Boston could potentially be v cool. And also very funny.

But then I am probably crazy.

I mean, Bea and Evie *go* to Boston on their American trip, it should have been mentioned that they saw Lydia and Arthur!

And there should be fic about it, yes. ;-D
